Federal passenger and freight rail policy has important implications for the livability and economic prosperity of northeastern Illinois, as highlighted by the GO TO 2040 comprehensive regional plan. Amtrak provides substantial and growing service in the metropolitan Chicago area, with 3.7 million trips last year, while the CREATE (Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency) public-private partnership continues to seek substantial funding needed for the region's freight rail infrastructure.

Amtrak's current federal authorization, the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008, ends with the 2013 federal fiscal year. Prior to June 19 congressional hearings on Amtrak and Rail Safety Reauthorization, U.S. Senator Richard Durbin submitted a letter to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation asserting that the legislation should emphasize Illinois priorities for high-speedthat improving safety and mitigating impacts will have quality-of-life and economic benefits for passengers and affected communities alike.

Initially authorized under SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users), the Rail Line Relocation and Capital Grant program helps local communities fund the horizontal or vertical relocation of track to mitigate community impacts stemming from railroad use, safety, motor vehicle traffic flow, community quality of life, or economic development. While the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation Committee proposed removing this grant program from reauthorization, Sen. Durbin requests its continued funding.

Addressing Freight Rail in Reauthorization The Durbin letter acknowledges that national freight policy was included in the two-year transportation reauthorization bill MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century), while highlighting the bill's overall lack


of attention to rail. He calls for a robust freight program that invests in rail infrastructure. Those investments could improve freight mobility while reducing fuel consumption, improving safety, and limiting greenhouse gas emissions, according to Durbin. Further, freight rail funds could also mitigate local community impacts. The letter is silent, however, on the potential sources of funding and on the types of projects that would be eligible beyond mitigating community impacts.

Investing in Passenger and Freight Rail in Metropolitan Chicago Sen. Durbin's letter points out that Amtrak ridership in Illinois is higher than anywhere outside of California and the Northeast Corridor, with five million passengers last year. Noting that Amtrak has achieved record ridership levels for the past several years, especially in Illinois, he advocates for increased funding ofThe conservative Heritage Foundation reacted with bewilderment on Wednesday after Joe Biden claimed that the think tank had condemned the 2017 Trump-GOP tax cuts, saying the former vice president's claim had no basis in reality.

Then, after Biden walked back his comment and instead said the Heritage Foundation has generally sounded the alarm about the national debt, the think tank again called out Biden for falsely implying that it advocated repealing the tax cuts to solve the debt crisis.

The back-and-forth episode, a sort of "Biden claim whack-a-mole," came as verbal gaffes have continued to rock the candidate's campaign, prompting a top aide to call the blunders "a part of his charm."

Speaking at a town hall in Spartanburg, S.C., on Wednesday, Biden remarked, "Even the Heritage Foundation has pointed out


"It would also leave middle-class Americans tens of thousands of dollars poorer."

In a statement, the Heritage Foundation said the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act "has been one of the strongest and boldest reforms of President Donald Trump’s first term in office."

WATCH: BIDEN MIXES UP NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VERMONT WHILE CAMPAIGNING

Michel added: “The evidence is clear that all Americans are benefiting from the tax cuts. Following the reform, Americans across the country had bigger paychecks and businesses increased investment, wages, and jobs. Average wage growth has been above 3 percent for the last 11 straight months and the lowest wage earners are benefiting from some of the largest wage gains.”

Asked by Fox News later on Wednesday about the Heritage Foundation's criticism of his statement, the former vice president seeminglyI wouldn’t soon forget.

For months First Nations, led by the Standing Rock Sioux, have been trying to stop the building of the pipeline, as it crosses the Missouri river twice, which is the tribe's man source of drinking water, as well as more than 200 smaller rivers and creeks.

Over the last few weeks, as preliminary construction has begun on the route, tensions have risen immeasurably. The Standing Rock protest site, now home to several thousand protesters, is fast becoming an international symbol of grassroots rebellion against the fossil fuel industry.

Nearly 100 tribes have now answered the call from the Standing Rock Sioux to protest against the pipeline. Some 150 haveso far sent resolutions and letters of support too.

This is becoming one of the defining moments in recent history of anti-oil protests. And how the American oil industry and its contractors react is being closely watched from around the world too.

On Saturday, as protesters were marching near the proposed route they saw diggers at work.

"We were walking up to the flags on the highway to sing and pray, then we found out they were starting to build again," said Ursula Young Bear, Oglala Lakota, from Porcupine, South Dakota.

picky eater. She lays eggs on various species of milkweeds—plants in the genus Asclepias that produce chemicals (glycosides) noxious to many animals but chemicals that, when incorporated into the tissue of her young larvae, serve as repellents to potential predators. Because milkweeds are perceived as “weeds” — plants that sometimes compete with corn and other human crop plants—they are disappearing across broad swaths of North America. Saving the monarch becomes an exercise in saving milkweeds by modifying pesticide use, planting more milkweed seeds in appropriate habitat, and educating people to recognize milkweeds as important plants for many pollinators, not just monarchs.

In “Dinosaurs in the Garden,” a book I wrote in 1988, I devoted a chapter to describing the intimate association of insects and flowering plants over geological timeplants along migration routes for similar reasons.

In search of solutions to the monarch’s demise, President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico, President Obama in the U.S. and Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Canada announced this May that they would organize an international task force to address the problem.

The Mexican government has already been dealing with illegal deforestation in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, a 140,000-acre forest preserve that hosts eastern monarchs from November to March. Nieto pledges to strengthen sustainable forest practices in surrounding communal lands.

Ashe plans to increase milkweed habitat, perhaps by planting seeds along major road corridors like Interstate 25 and Interstate 35. The Xerces Society, an invertebrate conservation group (www.xerces.org) has helped form the Monarch Joint Venture (MJV), a partnership between federal and state agencies, non-governmental


groups, and academic programs that is also trying to expand milkweed habitat and reduce other threats to monarchs. (See http://monarchjointventure.org/)

The Canadian government is planning to set aside funds for increasing milkweed habitat on farmlands, roadsides and utility corridors. Canada is also trying to protect more monarch staging habitat, where the insects congregate as they prepare to move south.

Paul Opler, an entomologist at Colorado State University who worked on producing the Roger Tory Peterson butterfly field guides, feels that one underappreciated threat to monarchs may be a European paper wasp (Polistes dominula). The wasp first invaded North America near Boston in the 1970s and has since worked its way across the country, preying on many butterfly species. In Colorado, butterfly populations began to nose dive about the turn ofthat is imperiled by both human growth and the climate change that growth is helping to cause. He proposes a “Half Earth Plan,” outlined recently in an article called “The Wildest Idea on Earth,” written by Tony Hiss in the September 2014 issue of Smithsonian magazine. The general concept is that humans get half the planet and the rest of the living world gets the other half in the form of long, natural N-S trending landscapes that will allow all living things to migrate as climate changes optimal living areas for various species. M.C. Davis, a multimillionaire from Florida, has been working with Wilson to acquire properties that would serve as such corridors.

Monarch migration hinges on the mutation of a single gene in the monarch genome, according to

In 1982, certain royalty owners applied to the Commission for termination of the units, which are located in Burke, Divide, and Williams counties. At hearings held before an examiner in Minot, the Operators moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
The Commission found that it had "jurisdiction of this cause and the subject matter thereof" and ordered: (1) that previous Commission orders pertaining to the creation and operation of the units were rescinded; and (2) that spacing orders issued by the Commission prior to creation of the units were "renewed."
After the Commission denied their requests for rehearings, the Operators appealed to the district court in Burleigh County.

The United Nations in Sri Lanka together with the Ministry of Education in partnership with the Hatton National Bank, launched the SDG Action Campaign, on the 72nd UN Day (24 October 2017) to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) around the country.

The SDG Action Campaign is aimed at supporting Student-led initiatives towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Sri Lanka by educating students on the SDGs, calling for project proposals and empowering 25 selected school projects across the island with seed funding and mentoring to kick start their sustainability projects.

As part of this campaign, a national call for applications was circulated to all schools offering Advanced-Level streams across the country inviting students to send in unique ideas on projects that could contribute to the 17The Canadian Football League's Board of Governors has formed a search committee to begin the process of finding a successor to outgoing commissioner Mark Cohon.

The Committee will be led by CFL Chairman Jim Lawson, who is the chairman of the board of Woodbine Entertainment Group, Canada's largest racetrack operator. It will also include several CFL Governors while senior leadership from each CFL team will have input throughout the search process.

Spencer Stuart, one of the world's leading executive search firms, will also assist in finding the next commissioner.

"The committee is looking forward to a process that will result in securing the best possible candidate for this prestigious position at an important time for our league," Lawson said in a statement.

Cohon announced back on August 20 that


he would not seek a third term as commissioner when his contract expires next spring. Now in his eighth season as CFL commissioner, only Jake Gaudaur (1968-1984) and Sydney Halter (1958-1966) have held the position as long.

A lucrative television deal, the return of Ottawa to the CFL, labour peace until 2018, a more stringent drug-testing policy and new stadium projects in Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Hamilton and Ottawa will be among Cohon's legacies.

TOKYO - A deaf composer hailed as Japan's Beethoven has admitted he did not compose all of his music, including a piece that is expected to be used by a Japanese figure skater during the Sochi Olympics.

A representative for 50-year-old Mamoru Samuragochi apologized to fans in a statement, and explained: "The creative process involved Samuragochi suggesting the structure and the images of a composition to an specific individual and have that person formalize it."

Composer Mamoru Samuragochi poses with a CD of his music in 2011.Kyodo via AP

In other words, someone else tookideas suggested by Samuragochi and composed the music. The statement did not name the other individual.

Nippon Columbia, the distributor for the artist's CDs, said it was "completely shocked and angered by the revelation."

The discovery of the deception also cast a shadow over Daisuke Takahashi, a bronze medalist in the 2010 Olympics who had chosen a piece believed to be written by the ghostwriter for his short program.

However, the athletes' management team released a statement saying that neither Takahashi nor his team was aware of the fraud, and did not plan to change the content of his program at the upcoming Sochi Olympics.

Born in Hiroshima in 1963, Samuragochi began to lose his hearing in his 30s while also gaining attention composing music for video games.

In 2003, Samuragochi wrote Symphony

"If there was an error, he will not longer meet the conditions for the honorary award, and so naturally it will be retracted," Hiroshima's mayor Kazumi Matsui said.New £3bn Aircraft Carrier Arrives In Portsmouth

Theresa May says the Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier is a 'symbol of the United Kingdom as a great, global maritime nation' - as it arrived in Portsmouth for the first time.

Tens of thousands of people lined the harbour to welcome HMS Queen Elizabeth, which has berthed at its home port for the first time.

The Prime Minister hailed the ship as a clear signal the country will remain a fully engaged global power. Speaking on board, she said:

"Britain can be proud of this ship and what it represents.

"It sends a clear signal that as Britain forges a new, positive, confident role on the world stage in the years ahead we are determined to remain a fully engaged global power, working closely with


our friends and allies around the world."

Mrs May said the "mighty ship" was a "stunning piece" of 21st century engineering that had involved more than 10,000 people in its construction.

Discussing Britain's carrier programme, she said: "As highly versatile and potent assets they will be able to meet the widest range of challenges around the world.

"Whether the task be high intensity war-fighting, targeted action to fight terrorism, or humanitarian relief to save lives overseas, these ships will transform the UK's ability to project power around the world.

"Alongside her supporting task group, including state of the art aircraft, helicopters and escorts, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will in time give the UK a truly world-class carrier strike capability for decades to come."

The 919ft (280m), 65-000 tonne vesselhas been undergoing training and tests at sea after setting out from Scotland's Rosyth dockyard in June.

Those on board and watching from the shore were treated to two separate flypasts of Royal Navy helicopters, the first featuring a Sea King, two MK2 Merlins and two MK3 Merlins, which were then joined by two Hawk jets for the second.

A flotilla of craft followed the behemoth aircraft carrier as she sailed into the Solent before heading into Portsmouth, where, at its narrowest point, there was less than 66ft (20m) clearance on each side.

With boots polished and caps perfectly placed, all the ship's available company stood at the edge of the vessel as she arrived in the harbour and naval base.

As eager crowds waved and welcomed her in, Commander Darren Houston


could be heard saying over the tannoy to those on the shore: "Good morning, Portsmouth."

Some of the keen well-wishers had camped out over on the Round Tower, the traditional spot in Old Portsmouth to view navy ships leaving and arriving at the base, in order to get a good view.

An 820ft (250m) exclusion zone, enforced by armed police in small boats, meant the port was effectively closed to the flotilla of boats which had turned out to greet the Queen Elizabeth.

A Champagne breakfast was held on board the Type 45 destroyer HMS Diamond for "VIPs and "VVIPs" from the Ministry of Defence.

Navy officers and family members also lined the jetty in the Navy base to welcome the ship, while the band of the Royal Marines played to entertainCHAPTER ONE

Cod

A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World

By MARK KURLANSKY

The Race to Codlandia

He said it must be Friday, the day he could not sell anything except servings of a fish known in Castile as pollock or in Andalusia as salt cod. --Miguel de Cervantes,

Don Quixote, 1605-1616

A medieval fisherman is said to have hauled up a three-foot-long cod, which was common enough at the time. And the fact that the cod could talk was not especially surprising. But what was astonishing was that it spoke an unknown language. It spoke Basque.

This Basque folktale shows not only the Basque attachment to their orphan language, indecipherable to the rest of the world, but also their tie to the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, a fish that


has never been found in Basque or even Spanish waters.

The Basques are enigmatic. They have lived in what is now the northwest corner of Spain and a nick of the French southwest for longer than history records, and not only is the origin of their language unknown, but the origin of the people themselves remains a mystery also. According to one theory, these rosy-checked, dark-haired, long-nosed people were the original Iberians, driven by invaders to this mountainous corner between the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian Sierra, and the Bay of Biscay. Or they may be indigenous to this area.

They graze sheep on impossibly steep, green slopes of mountains that are thrilling in their rare, rugged beauty. They sing their own songs and write their own literature in their own language,Euskera. Possibly Europe's oldest living language, Euskera is one of only four European languages--along with Estonian, Finnish, and Hungarian--not in the Indo-European family. They also have their own sports, most notably jai alai, and even their own hat, the Basque beret, which is bigger than any other beret.

Though their lands currently reside in three provinces of France and four of Spain, Basques have always insisted that they have a country, and they call it Euskadi. All the powerful peoples around them--the Celts and Romans, the royal houses of Aquitaine, Navarra, Aragon, and Castile; later Spanish and French monarchies, dictatorships, and republics--have tried to subdue and assimilate them, and all have failed. In the 1960s, at a time when their ancient language was only whispered, having been outlawed by


the Middle Ages, when Europeans ate great quantities of whale meat, the Basques traveled to distant unknown waters and brought back whale. They were able to travel such distances because they had found huge schools of cod and salted their catch, giving them a nutritious food supply that would not spoil on long voyages.

Basques were not the first to cure cod. Centuries earlier, the Vikings had traveled from Norway to Iceland to Greenland to Canada, and it is not a coincidence that this is the exact range of the Atlantic cod. In the tenth century, Thorwald and his wayward son, Eirik the Red, having been thrown out of Norway for murder, traveled to Iceland, where they killed more people and were again expelled. About the year 985, theyput to sea from the black lava shore of Iceland with a small crew on a little open ship. Even in midsummer, when the days are almost without nightfall, the sea there is gray and kicks up whitecaps. But with sails and oars, the small band made it to a land of glaciers and rocks, where the water was treacherous with icebergs that glowed robin's-egg blue. In the spring and summer, chunks broke off the glaciers, crashed into the sea with a sound like thunder that echoed in the fiords, and sent out huge waves. Eirik, hoping to colonize this land, tried to enhance its appeal by naming it Greenland.

Almost 1,000 years later, New England whalers would sing: "Oh, Greenland is a barren place / a place that


bears no green / Where there's ice and snow / and the whale fishes blow / But daylight's seldom seen."

Eirik colonized this inhospitable land and then tried to push on to new discoveries. But he injured his foot and had to be left behind. His son, Leifur, later known as Leif Eiriksson, sailed on to a place he called Stoneland, which was probably the rocky, barren Labrador coast. "I saw not one cartload of earth, though I landed many places," Jacques Cartier would write of this coast six centuries later. From there, Leif's men turned south to "Woodland" and then "Vineland." The identity of these places is not certain. Woodland could have been Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, or Maine, all three of which are wooded. But in Vineland theyfound wild grapes, which no one else has discovered in any of these places.

The remains of a Viking camp have been found in Newfoundland. It is perhaps in that gentler land that the Vikings were greeted by inhabitants they found so violent and hostile that they deemed settlement impossible, a striking assessment to come from a people who had been regularly banished for the habit of murdering people. More than 500 years later the Beothuk tribe of Newfoundland would prevent John Cabot from exploring beyond crossbow range of his ship. The Beothuk apparently did not misjudge Europeans, since soon after Cabot, they were enslaved by the Portuguese, driven inland, hunted by the French and English, and exterminated in a matter of decades.

How did the Vikings survive in greenless


in Iceland and Norway and were trading the surplus in northern Europe.

The Basques, unlike the Vikings, had salt, and because fish that was salted before drying lasted longer, the Basques could travel even farther than the Vikings. They had another advantage: The more durable a product, the easier it is to trade. By the year 1000, the Basques had greatly expanded the cod markets to a truly international trade that reached far from the cod's northern habitat.

In the Mediterranean world, where there were not only salt deposits but a strong enough sun to dry sea salt, salting to preserve food was not a new idea. In preclassical times, Egyptians and Romans had salted fish and developed a thriving trade. Salted meats were popular, and Roman Gaul had beenfamous for salted and smoked hams. Before they turned to cod, the Basques had sometimes salted whale meat; salt whale was found to be good with peas, and the most prized part of the whale, the tongue, was also often salted.

Until the twentieth-century refrigerator, spoiled food had been a chronic curse and severely limited trade in many products, especially fish. When the Basque whalers applied to cod the salting techniques they were using on whale, they discovered a particularly good marriage because the cod is virtually without fat, and so if salted and dried well, would rarely spoil. It would outlast whale, which is red meat, and it would outlast herring, a fatty fish that became a popular salted item of the northern countries in the Middle Ages.

Even


were forbidden, but eating "cold" foods was permitted. Because fish came from water, it was deemed cold, as were waterfowl and whale, but meat was considered hot food. The Basques were already selling whale meat to Catholics on "lean days," which, since Friday was the day of Christ's crucifixion, included all Fridays, the forty days of Lent, and various other days of note on the religious calendar. In total, meat was forbidden for almost half the days of the year, and those lean days eventually became salt cod days. Cod became almost a religious icon--a mythological crusader for Christian observance.

The Basques were getting richer every Friday. But where was all this cod coming from? The Basques, who had never even said where they came from, kept their secret.By the fifteenth century, this was no longer easy to do, because cod had become widely recognized as a highly profitable commodity and commercial interests around Europe were looking for new cod grounds. There were cod off of Iceland and in the North Sea, but the Scandinavians, who had been fishing cod in those waters for thousands of years, had not seen the Basques. The British, who had been fishing for cod well offshore since Roman times, did not run across Basque fishermen even in the fourteenth century, when British fishermen began venturing up to Icelandic waters. The Bretons, who tried to follow the Basques, began talking of a land across the sea.

In the 1480s, a conflict was brewing between Bristol merchants and the Hanseatic League. The league


had been formed in thirteenth-century Lubeck to regulate trade and stand up for the interests of the merchant class in northern German towns. Hanse means "fellowship" in Middle High German. This fellowship organized town by town and spread throughout northern Europe, including London. By controlling the mouths of all the major rivers that ran north from central Europe, from the Rhine to the Vistula, the league was able to control much of European trade and especially Baltic trade. By the fourteenth century, it had chapters as far north as Iceland, as far east as Riga, south to the Ukraine, and west to Venice.

For many years, the league was seen as a positive force in northern Europe. It stood up against the abuses of monarchs, stopped piracy, dredged channels,and built lighthouses. In England, league members were called Easterlings because they came from the east, and their good reputation is reflected in the word sterling, which comes from Easterling and means "of assured value."

But the league grew increasingly abusive of its power and ruthless in defense of trade monopolies. In 1381, mobs rose up in England and hunted down Hanseatics, killing anyone who could not say bread and cheese with an English accent.

The Hanseatics monopolized the Baltic herring trade and in the fifteenth century attempted to do the same with dried cod. By then, dried cod had become an important product in Bristol. Bristol's well-protected but difficult-to-navigate harbor had greatly expanded as a trade center because of its location between Iceland and the Mediterranean. It had become


a leading port for dried cod from Iceland and wine, especially sherry, from Spain. But in 1475, the Hanseatic League cut off Bristol merchants from buying Icelandic cod.

Thomas Croft, a wealthy Bristol customs official, trying to find a new source of cod, went into partnership with John Jay, a Bristol merchant who had what was at the time a Bristol obsession: He believed that somewhere in the Atlantic was an island called Hy-Brasil. In 1480, Jay sent his first ship in search of this island, which he hoped would offer a new fishing base for cod. In 1481, Jay and Croft outfitted two more ships, the Trinity and the George. No record exists of the result of this enterprise. Croft and Jay were as silent as the Basques.They made no announcement of the discovery of Hy-Brasil, and history has written off the voyage as a failure. But they did find enough cod so that in 1490, when the Hanseatic League offered to negotiate to reopen the Iceland trade, Croft and Jay simply weren't interested anymore.

Where was their cod coming from? It arrived in Bristol dried, and drying cannot be done on a ship deck. Since their ships sailed out of the Bristol Channel and traveled far west of Ireland and there was no land for drying fish west of Ireland--Jay had still not found Hy-Brasil--it was suppposed that Croft and Jay were buying the fish somewhere. Since it was illegal for a customs official to engage in foreign trade, Croft was prosecuted. Claiming that he


had gotten the cod far out in the Atlantic, he was acquitted without any secrets being revealed.

To the glee of the British press, a letter has recently been discovered. The letter had been sent to Christopher Columbus, a decade after the Croft affair in Bristol, while Columbus was taking bows for his discovery of America. The letter, from Bristol merchants, alleged that he knew perfectly well that they had been to America already. It is not known if Columbus ever replied. He didn't need to. Fishermen were keeping their secrets, while explorers were telling the world. Columbus had claimed the entire new world for Spain.

Then, in 1497, five years after Columbus first stumbled across the Caribbean while searching for a westward route to the spice-producing lands of Asia,Giovanni Caboto sailed from Bristol, not in search of the Bristol secret but in the hopes of finding the route to Asia that Columbus had missed. Caboto was a Genovese who is remembered by the English name John Cabot, because he undertook this voyage for Henry VII of England. The English, being in the North, were far from the spice route and so paid exceptionally high prices for spices. Cabot reasoned correctly that the British Crown and the Bristol merchants would be willing to finance a search for a northern spice route. In June, after only thirty-five days at sea, Cabot found land, though it wasn't Asia. It was a vast, rocky coastline that was ideal for salting and drying fish, by a sea that was teeming with

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that retail giant Hobby Lobby agreed to pay a $3 million fine and will forfeit thousands of ancient Iraqi relics wrongly labeled as "samples" and smuggled into the United States.

The Department of Justice filed a civil complaint in New York, and announced that Hobby Lobby had agreed to the fine and to forfeit thousands of antiquities including cuneiform tablets and clay bullae that prosecutors said were smuggled through the United Arab Emirates and Israel to the United States using deliberately false labeling practices.

Cuneiform is a system of writing on clay tablets that was used in the


region thousands of years ago.

Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Bridget M. Rohde said Hobby Lobby's efforts were deceitful and inappropraite and that when false declarations are made at United States borders, law enforcement will seize the items. She and Angel M. Melendez, Special Agent-in-Charge at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, New York, announced the stipulation of settlement.

“The protection of cultural heritage is a mission that HSI and its partner U.S. Customs and Border Protection take very seriously as we recognize that while some may put a price on these artifacts, the people of Iraq consider them priceless,” Melendez said in a statement.

Hobby Lobby was previously warned in October 2010 by an expert on cultural property law that the artifactsin the names of other individuals.”

In addition, Hobby Lobby’s United Arab Emirates dealer shipped the packages to three different corporate locations. The packages contained false declarations of item origins and the artifacts were misleadingly identified as clay and ceramic tiles.

Hobby Lobby accepted responsibility for its “unlawful importation” of artifacts and agreed to forfeit them all.

According to the Department of Justice sometime around 2009 Hobby Lobby began to put together "a collection of historically significant manuscripts, antiquities and other cultural materials." The effort involved Hobby Lobby's president president and a consultant traveled to the UAE in July 2010 to inspect a large number of artifacts being offered for sale.

White to Oversee Frayser High School

Former Westside Middle School principal Bobby White will lead Frayser High School into the Achievement School District.

White heads the Frayser Community Schools charter group, which is one of several charter school groups the state-run district has said it will match with some of the state’s lowest-performing schools for the 2014-2015 school year, the third year of the district.

The matches of charter organizations to schools are to be announced in December. But district superintendent Chris Barbic said last week Frayser Community Schools will be paired with Frayser High School.

White is a 1990 graduate of the high school, which he intends to rename Martin Luther King Jr. Prep Schoolthis year in Mississippi, thanks to the strong month on the coast. Still, one month isn’t enough to reverse the overall statewide downward trend.

The numbers exclude casinos operated by the Choctaw Indian tribe, which aren’t required to report winnings to the state.

Casino revenue peaked in Mississippi in 2007 and has fallen each year since. There was a brief improvement in early 2012, but the downward trend resumed.

Industry leaders have said that along the Mississippi River, Tunica and Lula casinos have suffered from competition from the expansion of gambling in Arkansas. The nation’s economic downturn also has been cited as a negative factor for the casinos.

Some took it as a joke when comedian Steve Harvey walked into Trump Tower, but once he entered the golden elevators and the doors closed people realized it wasn't.

After meeting with Donald Trump, Harvey and president-elect came down to the lobby and shook hands. The comedian and daytime talk show host told reporters it was a "really cool" and "successful" meeting.

The two compared notes on their golf scores, mutual friends, and favorite TV shows. Harvey also met Trump's daughters and was introduced by conference call to Housing and Urban Development nominee Dr. Ben Carson.

"We’re going to team up and see if we can bring about some positive change in the inner cities which


I felt was my only agenda and he agreed. And he wants to do something," Harvey said. "He realizes he needs some allies in that department, he seemed really sincere about it."

mastermind of the murders: squad leader Calvin Gibbs. At the time, Gibbs was a 25-year-old year old from Billings, Montana. He struggled before joining the army, and the New York Times reported that he acquired only one of the 20 credits required to graduate his high school before being sent to alternative school where he earned a G.E.D. By the time he earned the degree, he had already enlisted.

Gibbs joined Bravo Company as a squad leader in late 2009. Later, the men he served with would report that he told them that they could get away with murdering Afghans by killing innocent people and planting weapons near their bodies. Here’s how Mark Boal described the killing of 15-year-old Gul Mudin by Bravo Company soldiers Jeremy Morlock and AndrewHolmes in a 2011 article for Rolling Stone:

He held nothing in his hand that could be interpreted as a weapon, not even a shovel. The expression on his face was welcoming. “He was not a threat,” Morlock later confessed.

Morlock and Holmes called to him in Pashto as he walked toward them, ordering him to stop. The boy did as he was told. He stood still.

The soldiers knelt down behind a mud-brick wall. Then Morlock tossed a grenade toward Mudin, using the wall as cover. As the grenade exploded, he and Holmes opened fire, shooting the boy repeatedly at close range with an M4 carbine and a machine gun.

After the murder, the soldiers told Army authorities that Mudin had attacked them with the grenade, and that the killing was


about taking his life," Morlock would later tell authorities. "The first scenario was Ssg. Gibbs was going to take him to the gym and drop a weight on his neck. The second scenario was Ssg. Gibbs was going to take him to the motor pool and drop a tow bar on him."

In the Kill Team documentary, Winfield describes being terrified of his fellow soldiers—so terrified that he later took part in the murder of clergyman Mullah Allah Dad out of fear of attracting Gibbs’ wrath. He said that he never wanted to kill the 45-year-old father, and that he aimed his gun away from the man.

In the end, it was another soldier who directly complained to his superiors—though not about the killings, but about the fact that his428 F.2d 328

Caroline Lovell died at the Austin Hospital in January 2012. Ms Lovell, 36, died about 12 hours after giving birth at her Watsonia home on January 24, 2012. Coroner White also called for a review of the regulation of midwives caring for women during home births, and for the government and health authorities to consider an offence banning unregistered health practitioners from taking money for attending home births. At the time of Ms Lovell's death, Ms Demanuele was registered, but four months later, she wrote to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation


Agency to say that she was forfeiting her registration because she did not want to work in a system that coerced women into receiving medical treatment during birth. She has since continued to offer her services.

On Thursday, Coroner White said Ms Lovell's death could have been prevented and that various acts and omissions by Ms Demanuele had "caused, or substantially contributed to" her death. Caroline Lovell's mother, Jade Markiewicz, speaks outside the Coroners Court on Thursday. Credit:Penny Stphens While Ms Demanuele should have been more rigorous in her assessment of Ms Lovell's birthing history before agreeing to care for her during a home birth in the first place, Coroner White said she then failed to actively monitor Ms Lovell's vital signs after she had given birth to herdaughter. Coroner White said he accepted medical evidence that Ms Lovell had, in effect, "bled out" in a birthing pool where she remained for an hour in a dark room after delivering her baby. Unregistered midwife Gaye Demanuele.

During this time, he said Ms Demanuele did not examine Ms Lovell, monitor her blood loss effectively, or check her blood pressure. When Ms Lovell tried to get out of the pool, she fell unconscious. She suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to the Austin hospital but died about 12 hours later. Coroner White said Ms Lovell had a history of complications following her first birth and had had several other gynaecological treatments that should have been red flags to Ms Demanuele when considering whether Ms Lovell should have a


home birth.

He said Ms Demanuele could have insisted on getting Ms Lovell's medical records from Geelong Hospital where she had previously given birth, but instead she chose to rely on Ms Lovell's recollections alone. After Ms Lovell gave birth at home in 2012, Coroner White said the baby had blood on her head - a sign that Ms Lovell may be bleeding. Despite this, Ms Demanuele allowed Ms Lovell to remain in the pool for an hour unchecked. Her baby was with her most of the time so they could bond. Had Ms Demanuele turned on the lights, Coroner White said she may have noticed the pool had turned a reddish brown due to her blood loss. The blood loss was likely caused by injuries to her vaginalwall, perineum, and probably her uterus. When Ms Lovell tried to get out of the pool, she fainted. After regaining consciousness, Ms Lovell said she feared she was dying and asked for an ambulance to be called. Ms Demanuele did not call an ambulance. Later, Ms Lovell collapsed again. Ms Demanuele started CPR and an ambulance was called. However, by the time paramedics arrived, she was in cardiac arrest. Ms Lovell was taken to the Austin Hospital, but she suffered serious brain damage and died.

Coroner White said Ms Demanuele had attributed Ms Lovell's breathlessness, agitation and fear to anxiety "in a setting in which Gaye steadfastly maintained her commitment to home birth, without outside intervention". "In other words, I find that these acts and omissions were undertaken without


women and their partners about the safety of home birth. He said women should have choice over where and how they give birth, as long as they are properly educated about the risks. Outside court, Ms Lovell's friend Rita Linnestad and her mother, Jade Markiewicz, said Ms Lovell was a wonderful person who they missed terribly. Ms Markiewicz said Ms Demanuele was a danger to women and that her only child should not have died.

"Caroline was a beautiful person and loving mother who thought that she was in safe hands giving birth at home. She never thought that when she begged to be taken to hospital that her cry for help would be rejected," she said. Ms Markiewicz's lawyer Michael Magazanik said she was now planning to sueextreme leaves men narrow and incapable of innovation. Smith argues for a system of public education to prevent this decline (Wealth 839-840).

More generally, Smith sees three roles for the government: establishing and maintaining property rights, building public works that would not otherwise be built because of collective action problems (again, apologies for the anachronistic shorthand), and lastly the stunningly large “duty of protecting, as far as possible, every member of the society from the injustice or oppression of every other member of it.” (Wealth p.??, see Viner 1927: 223) This mandate, Viner argues, was not seen as particularly onerous by Smith, but to modern eyes it reads like an incredibly large mandate for civil rights and anti-discrimination legislation and enforcement, among many other things.

A lesser production would have put an obvious hulk in the role, but this subtler casting more effectively reflects the snobbery of those who despise him.

The book deals with the humoristic nature of several passages, including the Hundun "myth", the story of Liezi and his master Huzi, the passages in Chapter Five, and the Robber Zhi story. It also illustrates the ways in which many of these passages undermine Confucian values by telling stories in which those values are embodied in a topsy-turvy way by what are clearly not Confucian exemplars -- Robber Zhi and the characters in Chapter Five. In addition, though these characters are praised as having "virtue complete",


Greed Was Biggest Culprit in Ferry Disaster

The ferry disaster off the southwest coast has put the spotlight on the ways in which Korean society often sacrifices safety and reliability for faster, more immediate gain.

The ferry operator, which blatantly flaunted safety rules for the sake of squeezing a few extra won from the business, is a textbook example.

Chonghaejin Marine ignored passenger safety because the revenue from fares was relatively small compared to the money it could make from cargo.

At the time of the accident, the Sewol carried 3,608 tons of cargo for which the operator earned approximately W70 million (US$1=W1,031) in freight charges, in contrast to about W30 million from the fares a total of 446 passengers. It was the tail wagging the dog.

Overloading had become routine. At theto scrimp on the average pay of W3.06 million for coastal ferry crew.

An official with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said, "It must have been hard for Lee to feel any kind of responsibility in such a low-paying job."

The operator also spent as little money as possible when it bought the ferry second-hand in 2012. The 18-year-old ship that had been built in Japan and sold for W11.6 billion. Chonghaejin decided to buy the dilapidated ship because building a new passenger ferry of the same size would cost between W60 billion and W100 billion.

And despite the ship's age the operator added more decks to accommodate more passengers, which rendered ferry's center of gravity dangerously high.


The list below shows the era-adjusted goal and point production rates per game for the top teens in NHL history (Era Adjusted numbers courtesy www.Hockey-Reference.com).

What stands out in this ranking is how unusual it is to have three teens producing at a rate this high in the same season. It has actually never happened in NHL history. The only other years where even two teens were playing at this level of production were the 1981-82 and 1982-83 seasons where Dale Hawerchuk and Ron Francis burst onto the scene in Winnipeg and Hartford, and the 1943-44 season where Ted Kennedy and Bep Guidolin were playing for Toronto and Boston.

Interestingly, another reason for optimism in Leaf Land is a Toronto historical connection worth noting. Between 1942-43 and 1943-44 the MapleLeafs had Gaye Stewart and Ted Kennedy join the team. That is the last time one team featured two teen rookies posting this level of production in succession and led to the opening of what is typically described as the first dynasty in NHL history, where the Leafs won five Stanley Cups in a seven-year span from 1944-45 through 1950-51.

After debuting in the 1942 Stanley Cup Playoffs and getting into just the one game, Stewart won the Calder Trophy as top rookie 1942-43. He finished second in Hart Trophy voting in 1945-46 and was named a first-team all-star. Stewart won two Stanley Cups with Toronto in 1942 and 1947. He was ranked No. 67 on the top 100 All-Time Maple Leafs list that was released earlier this year.

Ted


“Teeder” Kennedy was essentially the key to the aforementioned Leafs dynasty of the 1940s. He played two regular season games in 1942-43 and was thus exempt from Calder Trophy voting in 1943-44, a season in which he produced 49 points in 49 games as an 18-year-old in one of the lowest-scoring eras in NHL history. Kennedy was named a second-team all-star on three occasions in 1950, ’51 and ’54. He finished second in Hart Trophy voting in 1949-50 before going on to win in 1954-55. He also won five Stanley Cups with the Leafs in 1945, ‘47,’48, ’49 and ’51. Kennedy was made team captain in 1948, inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966 and was No. 3 on the Leafs’ top 100 of all-time list.

"He didn't deserve to die — I felt sick reading the victim impact statements from the family."

'To my family you are a murderer'

The court heard Mayot, who is from a large Sudanese family, experienced racism and bullying when he was younger.

When Justice Holmes handed down the sentence she said she accepted Mayot's assertion that Mr Ede may have called him a "black bastard" before the attack.

He was heading to the police station to report


for breach of bail when he crossed paths with Mr Ede.

Mr Ede was on his way to his brother's home in Goodna, which was less than a kilometre away.

His brother Terry Bishop said the victim had a gentle soul.

"How cruel are you to even have thrown a punch at my brother - what did he ever do to you?" he said in his victim impact statement.

"To my family you are a murderer.

"He loved walking as it was his only time out from caring for his frail partner."

Family and friends of Mr Ede walked into the Supreme Court in Brisbane together on Monday, wearing "one punch kills" T-shirts.

Speaking outside court, Mr Bishop said he was "very disappointed" with the sentence.

"[It's a] very sad day to be honest — IBergdahl charged with desertion

Jim Michaels | USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was held five years after being captured by the Taliban when he left his remote post in Afghanistan, was charged Wednesday by the Army with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

The misbehavior charge carries a potential life sentence, the Army said in a statement, but legal analysts said it was likely Bergdahl would reach an agreement that would result in a light punishment.

Bergdahl was released from captivity after the United States agreed to release five Taliban militants held at Guantanamo Bay.

He was charged with "misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place," according to the Army statement.

Soldiers who served with Bergdahl criticized the prisoner swap, saying Bergdahl abandoned his


post. They said the search for Bergdahl put other troops at risk and diverted resources from other units.

He took a bullet to the head trying to rescue Bergdahl Months after he was freed in a controversial prisoner swap, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is charged with desertion and endangering fellow soldiers. The wife of one soldier who was seriously wounded trying to rescue him wants answers.

"The Army did the right thing here," said Cody Full, 26, a former platoon mate of Bergdahl's.

"You give an oath," Full said. "You sign your name to serve your country. no matter what you're supposed to fill that oath."

Evan Buetow, 28, who was a sergeant and team leader of Bergdahl's unit, said he was pleased to see the charges brought.

"The whole reason we cameforward last year when they released Bowe, we knew he needed to answer for what he did," he said. "We knew he was not a hero. … He had to answer for why he deserted, and that's what happened.''

Bergdahl was also charged with "desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty," which carries a potential five-year sentence, according to the Army statement.

Bergdahl's attorney, Eugene Fidell, said, "We ask all Americans to withhold judgment until all the facts emerge."

He also asked government officials to stop leaking information that could harm Bergdahl's right to a fair trial.

Legal experts said it is unlikely Bergdahl will end up with a lengthy prison sentence because of what he went through.

"I cannot see him getting a monster sentence," said John Economidy, a former


Characteristics of psychiatrists who perform ECT.
Use of ECT is highly variable, and previous study has linked its availability to the geographic concentration of psychiatrists. However, less than 8% of all U.S. psychiatrists provide ECT. The authors analyzed the characteristics of psychiatrists who use ECT to understand more fully the variation in its use and how changes in the psychiatric workforce may affect its availability. Data from the 1988-1989 Professional Activities Survey were examined to investigate the influence of demographic, training, clinical practice, and geographic characteristics on whether psychiatrists use ECT. Psychiatrists who provided ECT were more likely to be male, to have graduated from a medical school outside the United States, and to have been trained in the 1960s or 1980s rather than the 1970s. They were moreKhúc Thừa Mỹ

Khúc Thừa Mỹ (chữ Hán: 曲承美; pinyin: Qū Chéngměi; governed: 918–923 or 918–930) was a self-declared jiedushi of Tĩnh Hải quân (modern northern Vietnam) during the later part of the Third Chinese domination of Vietnam, when China entered the chaotic Five Dynasties period. He succeeded his father Khúc Hạo and tried to maintain northern Vietnam's autonomy. But the new emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty invaded in 930, capturing the capital Đại La (Hanoi) with no resistance, and Khúc Thừa Mỹ was taken to Canton, where he was placed under comfortable house arrest. The Chinese domination of Vietnam was thereby reestablished.

Writers and Artists. She was known for her sculptures of Rubén Darío, and also depicted personalities such as Josefa Toledo de Aguerri, Pablo Antonio Cuadra, among others. A 1958 sculpture of Darío was installed in a Miami, Florida park in 1961. That same year, Grøn carved a stone head of Darío clothed in a Carthusian habit, titling it La Cartuja, in reference to the poet's 1913 work on the same theme. In 1962 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the indigenous revolt against the Spanish conquistador Gil González Dávila, Grøn sculpted an image of Cacique Diriangén to depict his courage and resistance. In 1964, she sculpted a bust of Darío from white Guatemalan marble, which has become an iconic image of the poet. In the 1970s, Grøn developedmouth cancer and went to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for chemotherapy. She began losing her sight in 1981 and was forced to change to painting and inlay works with wood. Some of her most known paintings include: Muchacha en la hamaca (Girl in a hammock), Cándida, Desnudo (The nude), and Llanto después del desastre (Tears after the disaster), which was a reference to the 1972 Nicaraguan earthquake.

Numerous sculptures by Grøn adorn public places in Nicaragua, such as El Relevo, (The Relay) which is in front of the post office of Managua; a monument to Andrés Castro Estrada, which was commissioned in 1956 by students and teachers, who had trained with the educator ; a work on José Dolores Estrada which stands at the Masaya entrance

This material is based upon information which we considera tragic incident that occurred at the Lockheed Martin facility in Meridian, Mississippi on July 8, 2003 when Douglas Paul *667 Williams, a longtime employee of Lockheed Martin, went on a shooting rampage at the Lockheed plant, in which he shot numerous co-workers, killing seven and wounding others. It appears from the allegations of plaintiffs' complaint that on that date, Williams, who was well known by his co-workers and by Lockheed management to harbor extreme racial hatred toward his African-American co-workers, arrived at the plant with firearms in his truck. While attending a mandatory training course being held in a building on plant grounds, Williams exited the building shortly after the training session began, retrieved a shotgun and Mini-14 semiautomatic rifle, and then reentered the building where the


training course was being held and opened fire, shooting at least five persons. He then left that building and entered the main plant building, where he shot the remaining victims following which he took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In this lawsuit, there are forty-six plaintiffs. Two of the plaintiffs, Christine Bailey and Kevin Bailey, seek to recover damages on account of the wrongful death of Delois Bailey, who was shot and killed by Williams in his violent rampage. Plaintiffs Bradley Bynum and Henry Odom were shot by Williams but survived. and seek recovery for their injuries. Their wives, Dorothy Odom and Rebecca Bynum, assert claims for loss of consortium. The claims of these six plaintiffs are the subject of Lockheed's motion for summary judgment asdid not hesitate in concluding that the requisite relationship existed: "Tanks's allegations leave no doubt that Willis's injury, like those of other co-workers, resulted in principal part because of his longstanding employment alongside Williams," so that "the actions of the assailant, Williams, `were directed against his victims "because of their employment."'" Id. at 6. The court elaborated, stating:
Specifically, Willis was on the job, at the exact time and place that his employment required him to be there; he was not violating any instructions in performing his job. All relevant allegations in Tanks's complaints demonstrate that the assailant's actions resulted from his ever-increasing and uncontrollable resentment that he was forced by Lock *669 heed to work with, around, and under African American co-workers. Thus, Tanks's allegations are more than


sufficient to establish the required minimal causal nexus between Willis's injuries and his employment. Indeed, she is likely judicially estopped from claiming otherwise on appeal.
In contrast, Tanks's complaints are devoid of any allegations that Williams ever acted out of racial animus anywhere other than at work.
. . .
Id. The court found that it could reach
no conclusion other than that the intentional acts of this third-party employee were indisputably directed against another employee (actually, several employees, black and white) because of his employment. Under these overwhelming facts, the only viable conclusion is that, regardless of the ethnicity of the victims, Williams's acts of shooting cannot be separated from the employment status of his victims. Again, Tanks's pleadings are devoid of allegations that Williams ever acted out against blacks elsewherein the community-not in stores or bars or restaurants or schools or playing fields or anywhere except the workplace. His rampage was undeniably triggered by his uncontrollable anger at being forced to work, day after day, year after year, with co-workers who were African Americans. We would turn a blind eye to reality if we were to conclude that Williams's willful acts were directed at most of these targets solely because they were black and not at all because they were longtime coworkers who were black (and white). They were shot because they were African American co-workers or white coworkers (supervisors who were enforcing Lockheed's equal opportunity employment practices).
Id. at 7.
Insofar as Williams' actions (and motivations) are concerned, plaintiffs' allegations in the case at bar are practically indistinguishable


it is ordered that both of Lockheed's pending summary judgment motions are granted, and plaintiffs' motion to stay is denied.
SO ORDERED.
NOTES
[1]  Plaintiffs summarize their position in their response brief, as follows:

Lockheed supervisory personnel knew with certainty of Williams' racial hatred and of his menacing threats toward African-American and other employees. In their capacity as managers, they chose to pursue a course of action toward Williams which indicated that they were comfortable with and supported his behavior toward these employees. The supervisors condoned his continuing hostility, intimidation and his threats in a way that shows they implicitly encouraged it, so much so that in their managerial capacity they effectively adopted or ratified his actions and consciously supported them to act for them in menacing, intimidating and threatening thesein schools when they teach about the Muslim heritage, something she addresses as well.

Her beginning point is that Islam is not a race of people, but is a religion, a belief system and in that belief system those raised as Muslim, reading the Koran, are taught to emulate the Prophet Mohammed..... then she proceeds to explain the brutal truth of exactly who Mohammed really was.

Farrah states Mohammed was a "rapist, pedophile, mass murderer, war monger, liar, thief, and adulterer" that owned hundreds of sex slaves.

She explains exactly what the Koran teaches, specifically to kill those that do not believe in Mohammed/Allah, to fight them and to cut off their heads. She speaks to the slavery and rape happening right now, in the name of Jihad, in the name

U.N. team evaluates question on Iraq elections

BAGHDAD, Iraq—A United Nations delegation arrived in Baghdad on Saturday to assess whether elections are feasible before the U.S.-led coalition cedes authority to a provisional Iraqi government this summer.

The team's findings could settle the impasse between the coalition and the country's leading Shiite cleric, who demands a general election instead of a U.S.-backed caucus plan to decide who rules Iraq after the June 30 transition of authority. However, the current president of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council emphasized Saturday that the U.N. team's decision is not necessarily the final word.

"We are glad the United Nations replied, but we are not bound by the conclusions that they will reach," Mohsin Abdel Hamid said at a news conference in Baghdad. "We always look at


it as a matter of finding agreement among ourselves and for the good of Iraq."

The Grand Ayatollah Ali al Husseini al Sistani's insistence on elections already has stalled the drafting of a constitution and divided the Governing Council. Last month, Sistani's message sent hundreds of thousands of Iraqis to the streets in massive demonstrations in favor of elections.

Sistani's power was illustrated again Thursday when news of an alleged assassination attempt on the cleric sent shockwaves through the country and raised worries of widespread unrest if the news was confirmed. Conflicting reports emerged that Sistani's entourage came under gunfire in the southern Shiite holy city of Najaf, where he lives. Sistani's spokesmen deny the incident occurred.

The reclusive cleric, whose rulings are considered law by Iraq's Shiite majority, has sodecide a provisional government until general elections in 2005. He added that delaying Iraqi sovereignty is not an option, though other "refinements" to the plan are under discussion. Iraqis have criticized the caucus system as confusing and illegitimate.

Senor said the coalition would release no details on the U.N. delegation's work or whereabouts for security reasons. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan agreed to send the team on the condition that the coalition would guarantee its safety.

The United Nations pulled most of its staff out of Iraq after a car bombing at its headquarters in Baghdad last August killed at least 23 people, including top envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.

He also went on to say that these young Lakers players should be in the gym making 1,000 three point shots every day during the off season. He was specifically referring to Brandon Ingram. I am inclined to agree with him. A player that makes a living beyond the arc is someone who should hone that craft aggressively.

Weird how good shooters prefer or lean towards certain kinds of 3s. No one is the same and few to none are good at every kind. Some guys like Dennis and Byron Scott were spot up shooters. Put a defender on either to make them put the ball on the floor and they had issues. Rice was a beautiful shooter, but you could tell he hated defense on his 3s. He was beholden to a 2-foot stance pointed at the rim. Easy to make him shoot under duress and even so with


Shaq in the paint. Some of the best shooters are screen specialists (Rice, Ellis, Miller mostly). Dale Ellis could hit 3s while his body was still turning towards the rim after getting the pass from his blocking teammate. Some guys are killer from the wings, but aren't world class shooters in general (Bruce Bowen).

I think Kobe wanted to shoot those under duress partly because he was one of those players who liked a defender sticking to him so he could counter the contact, but also because he didn't want to allow defenders to force him off of his position. He got stripped probably a couple hundred times during his career while driving to the rim from the arc. Small hands and cute refs. Bell, Bowen, Battier might be

that it was a MiG-21 Bison that went down, after initial speculation about a MiG-29.

Why MiG-21?
———————–
Many questioned why the MiG-21 was used for the CAP and to engage the F-16s. After all, it was first inducted into the IAF 56 years ago, in 1963, and has picked up the nickname ‘Flying Coffin’ due to a spate of crashes in the last couple of decades.

However, IAF sources explained that ever since the alert level was raised immediately after the Pulwama terror attack on 14 February, various fighter aircraft were put on CAP duty. Tuesday night, a mix of Sukhoi Su-30 MKIs and MiG-29s were in the air through the night. However, in the morning, MiG-21s were put on the duty. “The MiG-21 is something that we have in ourLadbrokes Australia

Approximately six months after the decree was entered, wife's fiance, Jay Galvin, began living with wife and her two children at wife's residence. In August 1992, wife and Galvin informed husband that they were planning to marry on December 5, 1992, in San Francisco. However, in early October 1992, wife discovered that remarriage might terminate her spousal maintenance, and, because she felt she could not afford to lose that income at that time, she cancelled the wedding ceremony.
Because many of the invited wedding guests had made travel plans that could not be changed, wife and Galvin decided to have a party on December 5 in San Francisco in place of the planned post-wedding reception. Additionally, because they had made nonrefundable honeymoon arrangements, wife
