The daring new movie from the director of Blue Valentine, THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES is a sweeping emotional drama powerfully exploring the unbreakable bond between fathers and sons.

Luke (Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling) is a high-wire motorcycle stunt performer who travels with the carnival from town to town. While passing through Schenectady in upstate New York, he tries to reconnect with a former lover, Romina (Eva Mendes), only to learn that she has given birth to their son


Jason in his absence. Luke decides to give up life on the road to try and provide for his newfound family by taking a job as a car mechanic. Noticing Luke’s ambition and talents, his employer Robin (Ben Mendelsohn) proposes to partner with Luke in a string of spectacular bank robberies – which will place Luke on the radar of ambitious rookie cop Avery Cross (Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper).

Avery, who has to navigate a local police department ruled by the menacing and corrupt detective Deluca (Ray Liotta), is also struggling to balance his professional life with his family life, which includes his wife Jennifer (Rose Byrne) and their infant son AJ. The consequences of Avery's confrontation with Luke will reverberate into the next generation. It is thenB. Crabb,

       Darreyll Thomas, a Wisconsin inmate, asserts that Wisconsin Department of
Corrections employees failed to provide him his mental-health medication for over a week,
causing him to suffer a plethora of symptoms. He sued those employees for being
deliberately indifferent toward his need for medication, in violation of the Eighth
Amendment, and negligent under Wisconsin

denials of his motion to amend his complaint and his motion to compel discovery—and the
entry of summary judgment on his negligence claim. We affirm.

        Thomas discovered on August 15, 2014 that he had run out of one of his drugs for
post-traumatic stress disorder. Without it, he suffered vision changes, headaches, panic
attacks, hallucinations, nightmares, irritability, and suicidal thoughts. At the prison, when
an inmate’s medication supply is low, both the inmate and the officers who distribute
medicine are responsible for submitting refill requests to the Health Services Unit. Thomas
submitted a request on August 19. Meredith Mashak, then-manager of the Unit, responded
on August 22 that she had reviewed his medication records and “d[id] not see a pattern of
late issue.” She did not orderup and I say vile words against the gay community because I don't. I don't speak against the homosexual. I tell you that God delivered me from homosexuality."

McClurkin's words drew raucous applause from the crowd, who had lined up around the block to get into the Township Auditorium in Columbia.

Although a small demonstration led by the South Carolina Gay & Lesbian Pride Movement had gathered across the street from the concert venue, they were dwarfed by the crowd of black Gospel fans and Obama supporters who turned out to see the performance.

Meanwhile, Obama staff were inside and outside the building, working the crowd and trying to register new voters.

Nearly all of the African-American concert-goers interviewed by CNN expressed support for McClurkin. Some referenced the First Amendment, saying McClurkin


had the right to say what he pleased. Others agreed with McClurkin and said that homosexuality is a choice. Several more invoked the Bible and said homosexuality is simply wrong.

A September poll conducted by Winthrop University and ETV showed that 74 percent of South Carolina African-Americans believe homosexuality is "unacceptable."

Michael Vandiver, president of the South Carolina Gay and Lesbian Pride Movement said that he was disappointed by Obama's refusal to take McClurkin off the bill, but that he hopes it will be an opportunity for new dialogue.

"This is not a protest of Senator Obama, but rather a vigil in opposition of Reverend McClurkin and his statements on homosexuality," Vandiver said before the concert. "We're also here to show our support for Rev. Andy Sidden."

Sidden is the white, gaypastor added to the concert bill as a last minute compromise by the Obama campaign. Sidden's appearance was notably brief and anti-climactic: He said a short prayer to the auditorium at the very beginning of the program, when the arena was only about half full, and then he left.

Obama, while not present, appeared on a videotaped message to the crowd, saying, “The artists you’re going to hear from are some of the best in the world, and favorites of Michelle and myself.”

McClurkin said during the concert that he had been introduced to Obama by Oprah Winfrey.

He's just going back into the closet for awhile for his public image. It makes more sense that God would hate warmongers who are selling off the White House to make a buck

This one-way clutch is constructed so as to provide for power transmission between the output shaft and the pinion gear when the rotational speed of the pinion gear is smaller than the rotational speed of the output shaft of the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism and to cut off power transmission between the starter motor and the output shaft when therotational speed of the pinion gear is greater than the rotational speed of the output shaft of the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism.
In this engine starting apparatus, when an engine starting operation through an ignition key is performed in an attempt to start the engine, the starter motor starts to rotate, and the rotation of the starter motor is transmitted to the output shaft by the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism at reduced speeds, whereby the pinion gear is rotated. At the same time, the magnet switch moves the pinion gear together with the one-way clutch to the ring gear side for mesh engagement with the ring gear, whereby the rotational force of the starter motor is transmitted to the engine via the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism,

Then, after the engine has been started, the magnet switch moves the pinion gear in a direction in which the pinion gear moves apart from the ring gear for release the mesh engagement between the pinion gear and the ring gear. As this occurs, when the rotational speed of the pinion gear driven by the engine comes to increase over the rotational speed of the output shaft of the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism which is driven by the starter motor after the engine has been started, the rotational force of the engine is not transmitted to the starter motor side by the operation of the one-way clutch, whereby the forced(the ring gear 23), and a driving unit (a magnet switch 5) for driving the drive gear (the pinion gear) to the engagement position when the engine is started and to the disengagement position after the engine has been started.
According to the engine starting apparatus, when the engine is started, the starter motor is driven to rotate, and the rotation of the starter motor is transmitted to the drive gear via the output shaft at the reduced speed by the speed-reduction and power-cut-off mechanism. In addition, the drive gear is driven to the engagement position by the driving unit for mesh engagement with the driven gear, whereby the power of the starter motor is transmitted to the engine via the drive gear and the driven gear which is


in mesh engagement with the drive gear to start the engine. After the engine has been started, the drive gear is driven to the disengagement position, whereby the mesh engagement between the drive gear and the driven gear is cancelled. As this occurs, since the power transmission between the output shaft and the starter motor is prevented when the rotational speed of the output shaft exceeds the rotational speed thereof resulting after the rotational speed of the starter motor is reduced by the speed-reduction and power-cut-off mechanism, the forced excessive rotation of the starter motor by the engine is avoided after the engine has been started.

The perfect encapsulation of Hickson’s night was his put back dunk in early in the game of a shot that was still on the rim and probably was going in. He missed rotations, gave up offensive rebounds and did nothing on offense. My guess is Arthur takes his minutes sooner or later.

Mozzy continued his string of great play with a very solid 18 minutes. The only negative was leaving Al Horford open a bit too often for jumpers but Mozzy again attacked the rim, finished and made his freeAl Horford combining for 50 points. The Nuggets need to figure out better game plans to slow the best players on other teams or it is going to be very hard to win a lot of games.

On a similar note Ty Lawson was spectacular tonight, especially when Denver really needed him in the second half. Lawson is Denver’s best player and after a few games where he seemed uncomfortable he really proved it tonight.

I have no idea how the final defensive possession worked. Paul Millsap got great position on Andre Miller in the post and took a shot he makes often. On a night where Millsap was incredible it was truly unexpected. This came after a missed open layup from Al Horford that resulted in Millsap going to

I said I would give Hickson a chance after blasting his signing this off-season. He had good advanced stats last season and I was willing to consider the possibility that he revamped his game. He definitely is trash and is signed for 3 years…and the right trigger orients the camera towards the objective (either the disc or the goal, depending on the team in possession). This camera control is designed for precision when diving for the disc or shooting on goal. A character in possession of the disc will show a trajectory line of their potential shot or pass, which is altered by player movement, breath, and physical contact. Players charge the disc by holding the shooting button, whereby the disc turns greener as the shot grows more powerful. A fully charged shot called a Deathrow will incapacitate any player it hits, while overcharged shots electrify and stun the carrier.

Matthew Kiessling, vice president of the Travel Technology Association, says Wisconsin short-term rental owners and hosts deserve a full and transparent discussion of the issues. "Wisconsin's travel and tourism industry has much to gain by getting this right," he tells Reason. "That isn't going to happen by shoehorning new regulations into the state's budget at the eleventh hour."

In a series of tweets on July 26, President Donald Trump said transgender people are no longer allowed in the military. In the past, Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, have promoted their support of the LGBT community. (Published Wednesday, July 26, 2017)

The head of the Coast Guard expressed strong support for transgender service members despite President Donald Trump's tweets last week that transgender individuals would not be allowed to serve in "any capacity."

Commandant Adm. Paul Zukunft said that his office contacted 13 members of the Coast Guard who self-identify as transgender in a show of solidarity in response to the ban. The comments came in a speech to a Center for Strategic and International Studies forum in Washington, D.C., The Hill reported.

"That was the commitment to our peopleright now," Zukunft said. "Very small numbers, but all of them are doing meaningful Coast Guard work today."

Among the transgender Coast Guard personnel who were contacted was Lt. Taylor Miller, the Coast Guard's first openly transitioning officer. Miller was profiled in a Washington Post article.

With a healthy Michael Vick poised to start this weekend, the Eagles have to like their chances of ending their home slump.

Vick was the starter earlier this month when Philadelphia beat last-place New York, running seven times for 79 yards before suffering a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the last two games.

Philadelphia (3-4) lost 17-3 at home to Dallas last weekend to fall one game behind the first-place Cowboys in the NFC East. Nick Foles sustained a concussion in the third quarter and was replaced by rookie Matt Barkley, who threw three interceptions in yet another defeat that drew the ire of booing Eagles fans.

"I don't think we talk about it," coach Chip Kelly said. "Obviously, we want to give our fans what they deserve and


you can."

The Giants held Vikings star Adrian Peterson to 28 yards rushing on 13 carries, a good sign ahead of facing Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy, who leads the NFL with 97.9 yards per game on the ground.

McCoy, however, was limited to 55 yards on 18 carries against Dallas, and New York held him to 46 yards on 20 attempts earlier this month.

The Giants figure to be tougher defensively this time around. Defensive tackle Linval Joseph was inactive for the last meeting, and newcomer Jon Beason has stepped in as a starter at linebacker in the last two games.

"Even though it's been a three-week span between the two teams playing, I think there's some personnel changes that are going to be different for us, going to be the first timewe've seen them," Kelly said.

Beason hasn't been the only new Giants player forced into action. Peyton Hillis made his New York debut Monday and had 36 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown.

The Giants signed Hillis after Brandon Jacobs went down with a hamstring injury to add to an already injury-plagued backfield. David Wilson is out indefinitely and Andre Brown is eligible to return for Week 10.

The struggling Giants' offense has received a boost from second-year receiver Rueben Randle, who has four touchdown catches in his last three games. Randle has turned in consecutive two-score efforts against the Eagles.

Victor Cruz remains New York's top threat with a team-high 591 yards receiving, but Hakeem Nicks has yet to find the end zone this season. Nicks had some notable drops


Monday, helping put the Giants in a tie for fifth in the league in that category with 18.

"I'm sure Hakeem would be the first one to tell you that there were a couple of those balls he should have caught," coach Tom Coughlin said.

The Giants are on their longest road slide since a 10-game skid between 1978-79. The Eagles' last home win came over New York, 19-17 on Sept. 30, 2012.

The Giants placed starting center David Baas on injured reserve Wednesday after he sustained his third injury this season. Baas, who had just returned from a neck injury that caused him to miss the previous three games, hurt his left knee for the second time in 2013 on the final play of the opening series Monday.

Bradford's ex-coach helpedreturned to the Verizon IndyCar Series in 2012, Honda has struggled to be competitive, winning just 25 of the 84 races and one championship in the past five seasons. The worst performance was last year; Honda won two of the 16 races – Alexander Rossi’s victory in the 100th Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil and Graham Rahal’s win in the Firestone 600 at Texas Motor Speedway in August.

But with the return of the Ganassi team to the HPD family after a three-year run with Chevy, Honda – as shown by the early lap times – has renewed optimism as it prepares for the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 12 (noon ET, ABC and the Advance Auto Parts INDYCAR Radio Network).

MAUI, Hawaii, Feb. 3, 2009 â€“ The 2008 EA SPORTSTM Maui InvitationalÂ® Hosted by Chaminade University surpassed the previous yearâ€™s numbers for impact on the local economy, again ranking among Hawaiiâ€™s top revenue-generating events of 2008. According to the latest data released by the Maui Visitors Bureau, the Tournament welcomed nearly 5,000 out-of-state participants spending an average of six days on Maui and making an economic impact of more than $8.3 million.


2008 marked the 25th year for the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational and included several special events to commemorate the milestone leading up to and during the Tournament.

â€œEvery year, the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational gives us a tremendous lift in our tourism business while showcasing a great competitive event with some of the top teams and players in college basketball,â€ said Terryl Vencl, executive director of the Maui Visitors Bureau. “In a struggling economy this Tournament continues to provide visitors a meaningful reason to travel and experience a breathtaking island s etting in which to enjoy their vacation,â€ she added. Â â€œFor our community it also generates excitement as our residents look forward to enjoying world class basketball year after year.”

The EA SPORTS Maui Invitationalâ€™s economic impact resulted fromexpenditures by out-of-state visitors â€“ boosters, players, officials, media, team and game personnel, sponsors, production crews and devoted basketball fans â€“ who traveled to Maui for the season-opening tournament. Since its 1984 debut, college basketball’s premier in-season tournament has brought nearly $140 million to Mauiâ€™s economy.

In addition to its economic impact, the Tournament annually generates thousands of dollars to local charities, such as the Aloha House,Baldwin High School, Boy Scouts of Maui,Â Job Corps, Lahainaluna High School, Make A Wish, Maui Family YMCA, Maui Food Bank, Napili Canoe Club and Starwood Foundation of Hawaii, among others.

The 2008 eight-team field featured three top 10 teams, according to The Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll, with North Carolina at No. 1, followed by Texas (No. 7) and Notre Dame (No.

In his time, Mark Twain was considered the funniest man on earth. Yet he was also an unflinching critic of human nature, using his humor to attack hypocrisy, greed and racism. In this series, Ken Burns has created an illuminating portrait of the man who is also one of the greatest writers in American history.

Mark Twain tells the story of the writer’s extraordinary life – full of rollicking adventure, stupendous success and crushing defeat, hilarious comedy and almost unbearable tragedy. By the end, the film helps us to see how Twain could claim with some justification, “I am not an American, I am the American.”

Mentors play a vital role in the education of preregistration nursing students. Because the learning environments in which the students are placed are crucial for the development of the future workforce, it could be argued that mentors are the 'gatekeepers' of the nursing profession. However, the mentor's role is not an easy one and, with the added pressures of modern health care, there appear to be greater demands placed on nurses, which in turn affect the mentor's role.

April opened with millions of people out of work and stock markets slumping after the White House this week acknowledged that the coronavirus could kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. It's a preview of the carnage to come.

Some 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, the Department of Labor said Thursday, double the number of applications reported last week and 10 times the previous weekly record set in 1982. As many as 20 million people could be out of work this summer, according to separate estimates from the Economic Policy Institute and Bank of America.

In New York, the volume of calls from people seeking help increased by a factor of 150, and the state is "deluged," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday.

Part of the financial relief bill increased funding and staffing for states, in order to more quickly help the throngs of newly unemployed.

Small businesses shed jobs

Private businesses lost 27,000 jobs in March, according to a private survey from payroll processor ADP. That figure mostly reflects the economy before the full impact of the viral outbreak, as layoffs and hiring freezes accelerated near the end of the month.

ADP said small businesses took the biggest hit, losing 90,000 jobs, while medium-sized and large companies still added workers. It's the first time since September


The governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has warned that the state of the housing market in the United Kingdom is the current biggest domestic threat to the country’s economy, due to lack of house building, and regulatory issues.

In an interview to be aired on Sky News today, he said the housing market is the “biggest risk” to the economy and has “deep, deep structural problems”. Of house building he said: “There are not sufficient houses built in the UK. To go back to Canada, there are half as many people in Canada as in the UK, twice as many houses are built every year in Canada as in the UK and we can’t influence that.”

Raphel, who once enraged Indians with her provocative remarks on Jammu & Kashmir's accession to India, is under FBI investigation. Her home was reportedly raided and her office was sealed where she was till recently serving as an adviser on Pakistan-related issues.

"We have a range of high-level officials who work with a range of countries in this region and others every single day. We don't feel that will be impacted," the US State Department Spokesperson, Jen Psaki, told reporters at her daily news conference.

Her comments came after


it was reported yesterday that the former Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robin Raphel, one of the highest ranking female diplomats in the US, was subject of a FBI investigation.

Raphel, 67, was a senior advisor to the State Department on civilian aid to Pakistan.

After her retirement, she had returned to the private sector and worked as a lobbyist for Pakistan.

For the past few years she had returned to the State Department as a private contractor and was advising the office of the Special Representatives for Afghanistan and Pakistan on regional issues.

During her tenure as Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia in the Clinton Administration, she had a strong view on India and on Kashmir, which was vehemently resented by India.

In NewDelhi, she is seen as someone having pro-Pakistan leanings.

The FBI has searched her residence and sealed her State Department office on alleged charges of taking classified information home from the State Department.

Psaki yesterday said that Raphel is no longer a State Department employee and her contract was not renewed when it ended last week.

"But for the investigation, her contract with the State Department was bound to be renewed," a State Department official said on condition of anonymity.

While there has been no official comment on the nature of allegations against her, media here reported that FBI is trying to determine as to why she brought classified information to her home and "whether she had passed, or was planning to pass, the information to a foreign government," The New York

2. His birthday is up for debate

According to official accounts, Stalin was born on December 18, 1879. However, the Old Style Julian calendar (the Russian calendar) marks his birthday as December 6. Stalin himself, however, changed his birthday to December 21, as well as his birth year (allegedly) to 1881, to throw off tsarist officials.

3. Stalin left school because . . . of multiple theories

Stalin is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a murderous dictator (wrapped in a mustache). And adding to this mystery is the question of why Stalin left school: according to some reports, the future leader couldn't pay his tuition. Others claim he was expelled for his anti-Nicholas II political views. And another statesParty archives, the leader considered himself a producer, director, and screenwriter, as well as the ultimate censor. (Literally: he did everything from song lyrics and writing to coaching actors.) Thank all higher powers that be that this man did not live to have a film blog.

6. And he loved John Wayne more

Despite the overt western – literal and metaphorical – themes of John Wayne films, the archives also show that Stalin fancied himself a cowboy. Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable were his favourites, as was director John Ford and of course, The Duke. (Because who doesn't like John Wayne?) What he didn't like: French kissing and nudity, which is why he banned kissing in films for a while.

7. Stalin's go-to wine was Georgian – and it's making a


comeback

Stalin's favourite wine was Khvanchkara (a Georgian wine with raspberry notes), and is making a comeback after Russia banned Georgian wine in 2006 due to its poor quality. However, Georgia's since become a go-to for wine connoisseurs, and as per a 2012 interview, its winemakers are grateful for the push to up their quality. (With no help from Stalin, obviously.)

8. His favourite musician was pianist Maria Yudina

According to a passage from The Ladder of the Beatitudes (by Jim Forest), Stalin's favourite musician was pianist Maria Yudina, who he liked so much that he insisted on a record of her performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, which he'd heard performed live on the radio. Unfortunately for them, they hadn't made a recording. But because Stalin insisted on a physicalcopy, she and an orchestra submitted, but not without being sure that if they didn't, they'd probably all be killed.

9. He was a small man with big ideas

Stalin only came in at 5'4, which is what earned President Truman's nickname, the little squirt. That said, this photo of Truman with Stalin and Churchill either doesn't do that nickname justice, or makes the three world leaders look equally small.

Slightly related: Stalin was actually super self-conscious about the way he looked, having a shorter left arm and scars from smallpox.

10. Stalin was responsible for the death of at least 20 million people

He said it himself: One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic, and Stalin sure left one. Throughout his reign (of terror), the dictator was responsible for


was getting worried. I decided to go out and throw a few raisins around hoping a parent would come and notice him. I imagine he just strayed too far from the rest of the family. Sure enough, a parent came soaring in and stuffed him full of raisins. He then led him away to some trees at the back of the yard. Click on picture to enlarge.

When I first started seeing them, they were so shy, taking off whenever I moved. After a couple of years of throwing peanuts to them, they are less weary of me, and Iin the late 1980s? Or would you rather begin when the Goldenberg plot was being hatched in the fertile mind of a young Kamlesh Pattni and the powerful spy Chief, James Kanyotu? Or does your memory only go back a few weeks, to the sickening television spectacle of the grown Pattni, dripping with false piety, ‘giving back’ the lofty hotel to the government (out of the kindness of his heart, of course).

Wherever you begin, the Grand Regency controversy is truly of grand proportions. The short, public version of the story is after Pattni, besides himself with generosity transferred ownership of the hotel to the government, through Mr. Kimunya, it immediately set about looking for a way to dispose of the hotel. The State was apparently unwilling to run


a five-star monument to gilded corruption.

The property then, nominally, belonged to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), that being the institution that Pattni handed it over to. That obviously brought in the grand personage of the Governor of the CBK, Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u. Then, because this was a land transaction that was worth several billion shillings (how many billions is at the centre of the Kimunya dispute), the Lands Ministry, under the combative James Orengo, threw its hat into the ring. And finally, for whatever indeterminate reason, the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), under Maj. Gen. Michael Gichangi, also became involved in the matter.

So, herewith, the pieces of the puzzle (at least some of them anyway). Pattni gives the Grand Regency back to the government. The government immediatelybloodlust, they went ahead to censure him, and pass a vote of no confidence. By this time, the press and the public had joined the mob eager to see Mr. Kimunya’s back. The curious part about all this is how he had been hung out to dry by his ostensible allies. Party of National Unity (PNU) stalwarts such as Danson Mungatana were first in line castigating Mr. Kimunya, and almost no PNU heavyweight came to his defence.

On the weekend of the 5th of July, things finally came to a head, though we didn’t know it yet. Mr. Kimunya was reportedly reprimanded by the President, though, the next day, he used the last item in his arsenal. He retreated to Kipipiri, his rural constituency, and attempted to recruit his


removed from the 2012 electoral intrigues. He is now lost to the President in the remaining four-and-a-bit years of his government, and that is a huge hole that needs filling.

The lynch mobs have moved on, and their sights are trained on the Immigration Minister, Otieno Kajwang’, who supposedly awarded work permits under dubious circumstances. Whether he suffers Mr. Kimunya’s fate is yet unclear, but the bloodlust (and maybe PNU’s thirst for revenge) may mean his days are numbered.

Perhaps the most positive thing to come out of this is the fact that, maybe, finally, resignation is becoming one more step in the Kenyan political toolbox. The number of people who should resign from public, and private, office is almost as long as the list of offices they hold. From                                                        I.

bug in the winter sports scene of the 1930s in Europe hatched a grand vision: Build a European-style winter resort in the United States.

From these ranks came two, William “Billy” Meade Lindsey Fiske III and Theodore “Ted” Ryan, who attended elite schools and chummed around in European circles. With their worldly connections and family wealth — Ryan operating out of New York and Fiske in California — they raised money to get the first Aspen ski lodge and Hayden project off the ground.

But before these two teamed up, a chance meeting in Pasadena, Calif., at a polo after-party between semi-retired Aspenite Tom Flynn, a booster of Aspen silver mines, and Fiske, at 24 a bob-sledding Olympian and renowned sportsman, led to a barnstorming plane flight back to Aspento investigate the skiing potential. This swashbuckle spontaneity was a seminal event that sparked Aspen to become the skiing mecca it is today.

Aspen Historical Society/Grover Collection

Left to right are Billy Fiske, Otto Schniebs, Joe Sawyer, Bob Rowan, and Mike Magnifico in Ashcroft, 1937. Fiske, the original visionary for Ski-Hayden, was a two-time bobsled Olympian in 1928 and 1932 and known as a wealthy, daredevil sportsman; Schniebs started the first Ski School in the U.S., in Massachusetts and coached the Dartmouth ski team from 1930-1936, coining the phrase, “Skiing is more than a sport, it is a way of life” ; Joe Sawyer was one of a few hold-out miners in Ashcroft when the Highlands Bavarian developers first came to town in 1936; Rob Rowan developed downtown L.A. in


the 1930s and had a large stake in the Ski-Hayden project; Mike Magnifico ran Magnifico Sports, the first ski shop in Aspen, where he hand-made leather ski boots. Magnifico Run on Aspen Mountain is named after him. Note that Schniebs and Rowan both have the same ski-school emblems on their jackets.

The dream is born

By varying accounts at the Aspen Historical Society, including Ryan’s transcribed recollections, Fiske enlisted his future brother-in-law Jim Heaton to fly a single-engine tail-dragger Stinson Reliant to Aspen for a look. Stuffed into the four-seater with Fiske were his fellow Cambridge University grad Paddy Green and Robert Rowan, who was largely responsible for developing downtown Los Angeles. They circled Glenwood Springs until they found a “sort of field, a kind of golf course” to landon.

Flynn picked them up and drove them into Little Annie basin (then called Highland Basin after the 1880s Highland mining settlement at the Conundrum and Castle creeks intersection) along with Aspen mayor Fred Willoughby. Fiske and Green were so excited they raced the last 500 yards to the top of Highland Ridge (Richmond Ridge today), gasping. Taken by the summer snows still on Hayden and the Swiss-like meadows leading down to the valley across from them, Fiske declared, “This is it!”

Fiske then called his Euro-touring friend and Yale-grad Ryan in New York to say he’d found the terrain in the Colorado high country that could supersede St. Moritz. Earlier, at the 1936 Olympics in Germany where Fiske had declined to participate as a bobsledder because of the Nazis,


the two fancied bringing the European winter-sports center concept to the U.S.

Highland Bavarian Corporation

In spite of the Great Depression of the 1930s, “downhill-only skiing” caught on in the U.S. along with the proliferation of low-cost rope tows. According to a Maine ski history book, “First Tracks,” in 1936 when a rope tow opened in Fryeburg, 200 came to ski and 3,000 came to watch. By 1937 the American Ski Annual counted 100 tows in the U.S.

Skiing without having to climb had no comparable winter activity for upscale outdoorsy people. With the popularity of Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire and just-opened Sun Valley, Fiske, Ryan, Rowan, Flynnand Tom Harrison of Denver formed the Highland Bavarian Corporation, with a plan to build a ski destination up Castle Creek.

In a frontier era of easy development, they bought Bill Tagert’s Highland Ranch at the Conundrum Creek and Castle Creek intersection (Highland Meadow) and built the Highland Bavarian lodge in five months before opening for business on Dec. 26, 1936.

With an elegant-rustic décor and a Bavarian architectural theme (the lodge stills stands there today, for sale), they offered Philippine mahogany bunk beds with privacy curtains and a reading lamp, a grand two-sided stone fireplace that connected the communal living and dining rooms, a Bavarian chef and his wife, and ski tours up Little Annie’s. All this for $7 a night ($122 today).

With Flynn as lodge manager and chief


operating officer, Fiske invited Andre Roch of Switzerland and Dr. Gunther Langes of Italy, two of Europe’s most formidable ski and avalanche experts, to evaluate potential ski terrain in Aspen. Roch, a University of Oregon engineering grad, had skied Mount Hood first and racked up first ascents in the Alps and Asia. Langes fought with the “Tyrolean Hunters” mountain regiment in World War I, gained a doctorate in German law, and later invented the giant slalom.

The two mountaineers journeyed 12 days from Geneva, arriving in Glenwood Springs by train, where Flynn and Tagert picked them up, according to Roch’s account “Once and Future Resort” in the 1985 Colorado Heritage magazine.

While driving the dirt-oiled Highway 82 to Aspen on a December evening in 1936, Roch describes, “the night isblack as ink as the headlights silhouette a group of deer.” Flynn stops the car and Tagert loads up a rifle and shoots at the deer, wounding one, but the group escapes. They then clean up the blood on the road because the “fines for hunting out of season are high.”

At 1 a.m. they roll into Aspen. Roch recounts that his “first impression was sad. The town is empty and dead. There is no snow, and December wind drives dust through the streets.” Roch and Langes are soon installed at the Highland Bavarian lodge, headquarters for their investigations.

Roch observed that the ski terrain surrounding the Highland Meadow, which had been chosen in summer by the Highland Bavarian Corporation board, was totally wrong for skiing because of exposures. Richmond


Ridge and Annie Basin faced south or west and the strong sun melted the snow because it was “the same latitude as Sicily.” The other terrain in the Five Fingers area above Conundrum was too windblown, cliffed, and avalanche prone.

Roch and Langes thought the Aspen Mountain side had good snow but the lower slopes were avalanche prone and littered with mining debris. From atop Richmond Ridge, Mount Hayden caught their fancy. Open bowls led into shaded gullies with lots of vertical skiing. The magnificence reminded them of Davos and St. Moritz.

Initial plan

Among the obstacles of development were building a new Castle Creek road, buying up the properties in Ashcroft, gaining state and federal financing for the tram and designing the new Swiss village. In those days, turning pristine wilderness into recreational infrastructure met near universal approval because of the great commercial possibilities in what some called the “backwater area of Aspen.”

With Ashcroft largely abandoned since its heyday as a mining center in the early 1880s, sourdough poet Jack Leahy, the last original resident, held out for $50,000 ($850,000 today) to


sell his 90-acre property, wrote William Convery in a 1997 Highland Bavarian compilation, “Ski Heil!” That now-awkward German phrase had been painted under the eaves of the HB lodge, over an array of Bavarian figures.

Somehow they made a deal with Leahy and from 1937 to 1939 the corporation put together a comprehensive booklet called “Mount Hayden Passenger Tramway Colorado,” in which Colorado legislators, national railroads, mountain clubs, a Grand Junction hardware store and even the German ski team — who ascended Hayden in 1938 with tiny swastikas on their sweaters — endorsed the plan.

The backbone of the Hayden report contained three proposals that distilled specifics, a study by American Steel and Wire Company of the aerial tram, and two individual summations of the 1936-1937 year of research byRoch and Langes.

The machine

Consensus held that a Hayden tram would pay for itself as a year-round tourism draw. A shorter American Steel and Wire tram in Franconia, N.H., had smashed expected revenues within one year of opening in 1938. Newspapers billed the conceptualized Hayden machine as the longest aerial tram in the world at the time.

The AS&W tram would be built in two parts. A dog-leg design put the first section beginning at the “Valley Station” near Leahy’s cabin in Ashcroft at 9,400 feet, rising to “Monument Station” near American Lake and an alpine hotel at 11,400 feet, the length being 10,075 feet of cable. The upper section would rise from


Red Mountain, and Aspen are in the background.

Roch and Langes projections

The two Euro design consultants initially mapped multiple steep shots connecting to eight arterial ski runs, some down Pine Creek, Monument Gulch, American Basin and Sandy and Sawyer creeks, to deliver better snow conditions with more sun from December through April than anywhere in Europe. Though the 1936-1937 winter yielded an average Aspen snowfall of 169 inches, locals told the visiting specialists that it usually snowed a lot more.

Roch and Langes filed their final reports for the proposal from Europe in 1938. Langes had returned to his beloved Dolomites, while Roch returned to Geneva to lead the Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanche research; but not withoutmarking out his famed Roch Run on Aspen Mountain to kindle world interest in Aspen skiing and to draw attention to Mount Hayden.

Unfortunately he was unable to assist Aspen volunteers cutting the run in summer 1937 because a U.S. judge deported him for collecting a monthly salary of $125 from HB while on a tourist visa, according to a 1976 letter Roch wrote to Ryan and a Times mention in the fall of 1937.

Roch preached an expanding ski complex with Hayden as the center, connecting to Cathedral basin, Montezuma, Taylor Pass, Richmond Ridge, and Aspen Mountain. He alternately conceptualized the midstation higher above American Lake, just below the ridge, where the alpine hotel would have a large terrace for sunbathing and service April-through-July bowl skiing. If the “teleferique


Euro model in the American West. The new area would accommodate beginner, downhill-only, and ski-touring skiers, in addition to providing competitive ski jumping, bob and skeleton sled runs, and skijoring. He suggested damming the “swamp land” north of Ashcroft to create a lake for skating, hockey and curling, topping it all off with a town focal point: a ski-jumping stadium.

In a prescient vision one might wish existed today, he recommended luxury, medium-priced, and cheap lodge-like buildings that would welcome all income levels. To keep Aspen marketing alive during a 1.5-year construction time without a dormancy, Langes wanted to build a 50- to 60-bed hotel in Ashcroft immediately for the 1937-1938 season, with a 4,000- to 6,000-bed capacity in the Swiss-style village as the final goal.

His top station forissued more stock as a stop-gap measure.

Meanwhile, Ryan resided in Connecticut, recovering from a serious collision with a tree in the Laurentians while skiing. Fiske, the embryonic enthusiast for the venture, was working for the family financial company in New York and London, where he married an English countess and famously drove a supercharged Bentley at breakneck speeds on country roads.

Flynn, the unsung hero of the tram push, campaigned for public financing from 1939 to 1941 through the Colorado Legislature and the depression-era Reconstruction Finance Corporation of the U.S. government. He lobbied extensively in Washington, D.C., and Denver, while Ryan and Fiske behaved more like distracted absentee owners, the Ski Heil account inferred.

In a Times letter of April 11, 1940, from Washington, D.C., Ryan praised a new technicolor


film shot by Charles Grover of “Otto Schniebs and a party of five famous champions zooming down Mt. Hayden,” as “perhaps the most thrilling ski picture ever filmed.” The panoramic powder shots showing the bowls and peaks — including a white ptarmigan — trumped all other timber-bound ski films popular at the time. He rolled the film at the National Geographic headquarters in D.C., in Chicago, and all over Colorado.

Aspen Historical Society/Grover Collection

Tom Flynn hoists a flag in front of the Highland Bavarian Lodge in the fall of 1936. The lodge was still under construction. They opened on Dec. 26, 1936.

War intrudes

The likelihood of war became a headwind for the project after Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939. Still, Flynn’s efforts paid off. The Times reported on March27, 1941, that the Colorado Legislature passed “an emergency measure” authorizing $650,000 for the project ($10 million today), backed by an RFC government loan for American infrastructure. Flynn’s job devotion may have connected with the Yellow Boy Mine his father T.J. Flynn once owned in Ashcroft.

In May 1941, the New York Herald Tribune touted Ski-Hayden as the “highest aerial tramway in the world, four miles long, rising 4,000 [feet], with modern inns and hotels to be built to the crest of Hayden.” At the same time they plugged Roch Run on Aspen Mountain, describing Aspen as “the new all season playground.”

Flynn had already negotiated with the Forest Service to finish the road up to Ashcroft in the summer of 1938. While Ryan and Fiske held majority stakes in


the corporation, Flynn continued as COO, lodge manager, national booster, and bill-paying jury-rigger.

The next shoe dropped after Germany steamrolled France and staged to invade Britain from Calais, beginning the 114-day bombing blitz called the Battle of Britain. In the face of that threat on his adopted country, Fiske joined the “Millionaire Squadron” of the Royal Air Force, comprised of the bluest of blood in England, plus one fearless American.

Six days into the air defense of Britain, Fiske managed to land his riddled Hurricane fighter engulfed in flames on his home airfield of Tangmere on the English coast. He died 24 hours later of shock secondary to extreme burns, becoming an American and British hero.

With Fiske’s death and the expectation that the U.S. would be entering the war, thequestion rose whether an international tourist project in the West was a wise use of American steel and manufacturing. Ryan, mourning the loss of his longtime friend and ski-dream partner, admittedly retreated.

With tourist travel to Europe shut down, Flynn speculated that Hayden could provide an alternative. The Times reported on Sept. 4, 1941, that New York architect Ellery Husted had drafted a plan for Ashcroft. Forget the Swiss village, Husted said, and instead fashion a “Williamsburg of the west” faux frontier town, incorporating the ghost-town buildings to include the jail there that once, allegedly, incarcerated Jesse James.

But on Dec. 7, 1941, the dream became moot when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entered World War II. Ryan immediately went to Washington and offered all his Castle Creek


property to the government for ski-troop training for $1 per year, before the 10th Mountain Division formed and chose Camp Hale in Leadville instead.

During the war, Flynn decamped back to Pasadena, where he died in 1950. Ryan, with a bum leg from his earlier ski accident, couldn’t join the military. Instead he worked for U.S. intelligence, where he negotiated the German surrender in Italy after the 1oth Mountain Division scaled a 2,000-foot escarpment at night and surprised enemy defenses at the pivotal battle of Riva Ridge. Fiske lay interred in Sussex, England, memorialized on a plaque in St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, that read: “An American citizen who died that England might live.”

DRC Brown, unknown, Harvey T. Carter, Andre Roch, and Ted Ryan look at Roch’s Ski-Haydenhis Ashcroft property to Stuart Mace for his husky kennels and Toklat lodge.

In a 1965 local radio interview, Ryan reflected how in 1946, after the war, “I was trying to reorient, and before I knew it Friedl Pfeiffer, Johnny Litchfield, Percy Rideout, and Walter Paepcke formed the Aspen Ski Corporation. Aspen Mountain with its famed Roch Run was off and running.”

Ryan apparently arranged an April 1967 helicopter ski trip to Mount Hayden along with Aspen Ski Corporation president D.R.C. Brown, Andre Roch, and legendary Aspen Mountain ski patrolman and mountaineer Harvey Carter. This look-see trip is documented in a series of color photos in the Aspen Historical Society photo gallery.

In 1971, Sno-Engineering, then of Evergreen, Colo., completed a new Ski-Hayden design for Ryan. Their detailed blueprints at the


Aspen Historical Society show four chairlifts, including a Cathedral Lake and Express Creek lift, a beginners lift just above Toklat, and two straight-shot tram routes to Hayden ridge. Eight more alternative lift alignments offered countless ski runs in what might have been the mega big-mountain ski area of the 20th century.

But the success of nearby Snowmass had signaled a shift toward family-friendly ski development, making Hayden’s more extreme, Jackson-like terrain an investment anachronism—though today that big-ski daredevil market would be hot. At some point Ryan began to see things differently, because in 1971 he began giving his property to the Forest Service in exchange for a lease to the Mace family to open Ashcroft Ski Touring.

Somehow a private parcel remained. In a complicated land swap between the AspenValley Land Trust and the Forest Service in 2011, the ghosts of Ashcroft, now managed by the Aspen Historical Society and Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, narrowly avoided a trophy-home site in their midst. Long after the death of a hero and a war, a dream that had been a slam-dunk development 80 years ago instead preserves Ashcroft and Hayden because of Ted Ryan’s change of heart.

Death At A Funeral Vs. Death At A Funeral: A Scene By Scene Remake Analysis

In 2007 talented director Frank Oz (and voice of Fozzy Bear) released a brilliantly funny British farce called Death at a Funeral in America. No one saw it. Except me that is. I showed up at an empty theater and watched it, laughing my ass off, all alone. A day later its theatrical run was over, it never had a chance. Because it wasn't ever really marketed, Frank Oz's farce never found an audience. Instead it ended up on our list of the most overlooked movies of the decade. Now only three years later, Sony's remaking it.

It's not as if the original movie was inaccessible. Sure most of the actors were British, but asnervous, so his girlfriend gives him what she believes to be Valium. It isn't. Here's the Death at a Funeral 2007 take:

This is the first really huge, huge laugh of Death at a Funeral 07 and part of the reason it plays so well is that much of the movie, as it was in the first scene we showed you, has up till now been pretty grounded in reality. Now that's contrasted with an absolutely ridiculous occurrence in which Alan Tudyk's character Simon has accidentally been given hallucinogenic drugs. Because it's so crazy, especially compared to how grounded everything's been up till now, the laugh is huge.

A lot of the credit also has to go to Tudyk, who gives an incredibly hilarious performance throughout the film. This is


one of his best moments here. It's worth noting that even while Tudyk's behavior grows gradually more and more outrageous, the reaction of everyone around him remains fairly grounded in reality. Troy (Kris Marshall) knows that what Simon's been given isn't Valium, but he's hesitant to tell his sister that he's been carrying around illegal substances. He'll tell her later, but his first reaction is to step back and take it all in. That works. Everyone sort of gets out of the way and simply lets Tudyk be funny.

Now the remake takes a shot at the same scene:

The Death at a Funeral 2010 take on this moment suffers from much the same problem as the previous scene did. They seem intent, again, on filling every second in theversion), has spent the day struggling to come up with a speech. Now he finally has to give it and everything suddenly goes nuts. Death at a Funeral 2007, as always you get to go first:

Here again, Death at a Funeral 2007 successfully contrasts the real with the surreal. Daniel's speech is halting and boring. He seems nervous and he stands behind the casket almost as if he's hiding from his audience. He's obviously not a trained public speaker and he seems exactly like a son grieving for his father but unable to find the right words. That's contrasted with the ridiculous in front of him. As he struggles to make it through his speech things gradually grow worse and worse, funnier and funnier as Tudyk draws more


and more attention to himself.
Can Death at a Funeral 2010 top it? Watch:

Chris Rock actually does his job here. He seems awkward and unprepared. He doesn't stand behind the coffin, presumably because he's Chris Rock and somebody wanted all of him front and center, but he rattles off his boring speech adequately. The problem is James Marsden who is, pretty clearly, no match for the brilliant comedic timing of Tudyk. He's simply not funny. He seems more like some sort of douche bag than a guy out of his mind tripping on hallucinogenics. But maybe it's not all his fault.

Death 2010 is in kind of a rush here. The 07 version took this scene and let it build. The 07 version is funny because it starts slowly andto tell him, but because he desperately needs his help to keep it. Death at a Funeral Classic, take it away:

Daniel finds his brother Robert (Rupert Graves) hitting on a pretty girl. Earlier in the film it's been established that Robert is kind of playboy so this isn't surprising, it's just a confirmation of his character. Daniel, terrified that someone might overhear what he's about to tell Robert, drags him to a back room and shuts the door where he reveals his secret. But it's a secret that's so shocking, so completely unexpected, that at first Robert simply doesn't get it. His reaction is utterly real but also insanely funny as he struggles to wrap his head around the idea that his dead dad was gay and into


midgets.
Here's how Death Do Over handles it:

The premise remains the same, but it's rushed and more clumsily executed in the remake. It starts with a far more obvious allusion to Robert's (now renamed Ryan and played by Martin Lawrence) womanizing ways. The scene seems constructed primarily so Chris Rock can wander in and crack a one-liner. Keep in mind here that this is a man who's just learned something shocking and he's supposed to be terrified of someone else finding out. He's also supposed to be grieving for his dead father, but instead of seeming concerned he's wandering out to the pool to crack Sponge Bob jokes at his brother's expense.

In this version, for some reason they also fail to go somewhere private. Sure they're alone at thepool but someone could wander in at any moment and learn the terrifying secret he's desperate to keep. Chris Rock doesn't seem concerned. Lawrence's Ryan on the other hand, seems to have little problem comprehending what he's being told. He gets it right away and starts mugging for the camera.

Just Say No To Blackmail

In this sequence Daniel/Aaron decides not to pay the guy who's blackmailing them. Strangely, in both versions the blackmailer is played by the great Peter Dinklage. In the 2007 version this sequence is actually split into two scenes, so watch both 07 videos below to get the full picture.

This is one of the film's most pivotal sequences and also one of the craziest. The confrontation at the door between Peter Dinklage and Robert is great,


Sex

In this scene, the character played by James Marsden and Alan Tudyk has locked himself in the bathroom where he's spazzing out on pills. His concerned girlfriend waits outside, pounding on the door, trying to convince him to come out. Here's how Death 2007 handles it:

This is a relatively minor, throwaway scene in the original Death. The movie's full of weird little subplots like this which never actually go anywhere important, but serve to give the film and the family layers. Everyone involved has different motivations and even though the movie's following one or two specific stories, in the background different people are doing different things. It gives the film a sense of history, as if these people are real people who had lives before this, and willhave lives after it. And because the film's loaded with ridiculously talented character actors, even though it doesn't contribute a lot to the story, this scene's pretty funny. Ewen Bremmer is consistently slimy and creepy as Justin and he lurks throughout the film leering. That leering culminates in a confrontation here.

Let's see what Death at a Funeral: The New Class does with it:

In the remake version Justin has been renamed Derek and he's played by Luke Wilson and the confrontation has turned into a more complex conversation. That might seem good until you remember what's going on behind that door. Zoe Saldana's Elaine is supposed to be concerned about her boyfriend, who's locked behind it having insane hallucinations. In the 2007 version Elaine doesn't even give Justin the


time of day, in large part because her mind's on something else. She's freaked out and concerned about the man she loves and she isn't really interested in what Justin has to say. Here, Elaine seems to forget about what's going on with her boyfriend entirely, and becomes wrapped up in hashing out her past relationship with Luke Wilson. In the 2007 you believe that Elaine doesn't care about Justin but here, it seems like maybe there's still a spark between them. Bad news for James Marsden, who's in the other room trippin balls.

We've been through six comparisons and there's a definite pattern. Remake director Neil LaBute has taken a fairly restrained and subtly funny film and made it louder, broader, and faster. Individual scenes take less timeheld and questioned began shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, when the Bush administration adopted secret detention and coercive interrogation, both practices the United States had previously denounced when used by other countries. It adopted the new measures without public debate or Congressional vote, choosing to rely instead on the confidential legal advice of a handful of appointees.

The policies set off bruising internal battles, pitting administration moderates against hard-liners, military lawyers against Pentagon chiefs and, most surprising, a handful of conservative lawyers at the Justice Department against the White House in the stunning mutiny of 2004. But under Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Bradbury, the Justice Department was wrenched back into line with the White House.

On July 22, 1934, infamous bank robber John Dillinger went to see a movie with two female companions at the Biograph Theater in Lincoln Park. When they exited the building, one of the women — the "Lady in Red"— tipped off police waiting outside. Dillinger, possibly recognizing one of the undercover FBI agents, bolted into a nearby alley and drew his pistol. He was shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the back of his neck.

East Chicago police Captain Timothy A. O'Neil was one of the men responsible for Dillinger's death. And soon, his Colt Army Special revolver, which delivered one of the fatal shots, will be up forHe explained how the cattle roundup had been called off by government officials the evening before the protest. The government is claiming that they were threatened and forced to abandon their duties on April 12th, when in reality, the orders to abandon the roundup were already given the day before. This leaves the criminal charges without foundation.

Whipple was also able to inform the jury of several facts that had not been disclosed before. The government had set up a confidential Forward Operating Base as part of a Joint Terrorism Task Force team of FBI SWAT agents less than two miles from the Bundy home in April 2014.

Ryan Bundy Pro Se Legal Representation – Opening Statement

Ryan Bundy’s opening statementstunned the courtroom. On the large screen monitors scattered through the


courtroom, he displayed a picture of himself and his wife Angela with their eight children. He then told his audience about growing up on the ranch and their family values. He explained to the jury about a favorite phrase his father used, “whatever it takes”, and how, to them the phrase meant the determination needed to complete the job. Ryan told the jury that the prosecution was going to tell them that “whatever it takes” was a threat Cliven Bundy had made against the government.

Ryan told the jury that 53 ranchers were in the area when BLM first started managing the land. The ranchers were forced to sign grazing permits that called for cutting their herds. His father wouldn’t sign it because his water rights would also beearnestness, and passion to give a statement that was at least an hour in length. He did so without looking at a single note. He stayed calm and deliberate in front of the 12 men and women who will probably be deciding whether he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

The court-watchers that had witnessed the other Bundy trials were shocked by how much information Ryan Bundy had just given the jury. The judge not once tried to stop the proceedings and the prosecution did not make a single objection. Ryan had told the basis of the Bundy side of the Bunkerville Protest.

Image copyright AFP Image caption The lower yuan is likely to help Chinese exports

China has set the guiding rate for its yuan currency lower for a third consecutive day.

But Thursday's rate of 1% down against the dollar was a smaller margin than the shock cuts earlier in the week.

The bank had on Tuesday announced it would start setting the daily rate based partly on the previous day's trading, bringing the yuan closer to a free-floating currency.

The move triggered concerns over a currency war to boost China's exports.

Recent economic data had seen a decline in Chinese exports, adding to the worries that the world's second largest economy was headed for a prolonged slowdown.

A weaker yuan will make products cheaper abroad, meaning Chinese companies are more competitive on international markets.

China'sat least the last couple of years.

The tractor sales market, for example, sank around the world in the first nine months of 2016, according to data from the Agrievolution Alliance, including declines of six per cent in Europe, 29 per cent in China, 17 per cent in Brazil, 19 per cent in Russia and 24 per cent in Japan.

The decrease is driven by a global fall in farm incomes, Agrievolution says in a report it released in November at the International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition held in Bologna, Italy.

However, even in that context, the Asia Pacific region is leading the global agricultural machinery market, says a market analysis released earlier this year by research firm Technavio. In fact, it predicts annual sales will hit US$74 billion in


Correction: BC-US–Madoff Fraud-Trial story

NEW YORK, N.Y. – NEW YORK (AP) — In a story March 24 about the convictions of five former employees for imprisoned financier Bernard Madoff, The Associated Press misspelled the last name of the attorney for defendant Annette Bongiorno. He is Roland Riopelle, not Ripoelle.

Five former employees of imprisoned financier Bernard Madoff were convicted Monday at the end of a six-month trial that cast them as the long arms of their boss, telling an elaborate web of lies to hide a fraud that enriched them and cheated investors out of billions of dollars.

The trial, one of the longest in the storied history of Manhattan federal court, was the first to result from the massive fraud revealed in December 2008 when Madoff ran out of moneyand falsifying the books and records of a broker dealer. Prosecutors obtained convictions on all 31 charges, though only one defendant was charged in some counts.

The maximum potential sentences range from 78 years to 220 years in prison when the charges for each defendant are stacked up, but the actual sentences are likely to be far below that once the judge takes into consideration prior records and other facts unique to each defendant.

The defendants largely took the verdicts in stride except for Crupi, who looked shocked when the first guilty verdict was read and later shook her head.

After sentencings were set for the last week of July and U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain rejected requests that the defendants be immediately detained, the defendants emerged from court to


since the early 1990s before finally collapsing during the 2008 financial crisis.

During jury selection, prospective jurors were told that they might hear references to big names including Steven Spielberg, Sandy Koufax, Kevin Bacon and Zsa Zsa Gabor, among Madoff’s victims. Hundreds of exhibits and thousands of pages of materials were put before jurors.

Also mentioned were Madoff’s relatives, including his brother, wife and two sons. One of the sons committed suicide two years after the fraud was revealed.

Madoff, 75, is serving his sentence at a federal lockup in North Carolina.

Over the years, Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were tried as traitors in the Manhattan courthouse, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed’s nephew Ramzi Yousef was convicted there in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and in a plot toThe computer technology of women is a good approach since it puts women in contact with many other people, and this allows the exchange of experiences, events, and circumstances they have encountered in life.

Bainbridge's

Bainbridge's was a major department store in Eldon Square in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The store, which is now branded as John Lewis Newcastle, moved to its current site in 1974, but the company dates back to 1838. It claimed to be the first true department store in the world, having begun recording weekly turnover separately by department in 1849. In 2002, after a vote by store employees, the owner John Lewis changed the official name to John Lewis Newcastle.

History
The store dates back to 1838, when Emerson Muschamp Bainbridge went into partnership with William Alder Dunn and opened a drapers and fashion shop in Newcastle's Market Street. Despite success the two partners fell out and went their separate ways. Their partnership was dissolved inPlace du Gouvernement

This sloping square at the western side of the Medina hosts the Prime Ministry, the Finance Ministry and the Foreign Ministry. Since the Independence of the country, the Prime Ministry is settled in the Dar El Bey, also named Palais du Gouvernement (Palace of the Government), which was built in 1795 for the important guests of the Husseinite beys, replacing a former palace from the 17th century. West of the Place du Gouvernement the architecture becomes more modern with the Place de la Kasbah (the Kasbah Plaza).

Place du Gouvernement

Beyond the rue de la Kasbah and Souk el Bey the medina opens out onto a large square called Place du Gouvernement. This is the western edge of the medina and feels much more airy


and spacious that the narrow, busy streets of the medina behind it.

As its name suggests, the square is the focal point of government in Tunis and the prime minister's office is in Dar el Bey on the south side of the square. There are many armed guards in the area but they didn't seem to mind us taking pictures here.

The Place du Gouvernement is clean, spacious and much less chaotic than other parts of the medina. It's perhaps a little soulless too but worth seeing for the contrast with everywhere else.

Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, is located at the western side of the Gulf of Tunis in the north-east of the country. It is by far the largest city in Tunisia with a population of 750,000 and estimates...

Q:

Is there a ritual free form of Buddhism?

Is there, aside from Secular Buddhism, a sect or tradition of Buddhism that does not include rituals and chanting as a part of it's liturgy?

A:

Yes. The "original tradition" i.e. of the time of the Buddha himself, did not have a lot of the rituals and customs that are practised today.
There was some recitation of the Dhamma and Vinaya, but it did not amount to liturgical chanting in the Buddha's time. Certainly, monks did not chant for blessing, in the Buddha's time. Recitation was just a form of recollection, as it was initially an oral tradition. Recitation of the Dhamma and Vinaya did not have mystical effects.
There were no statues or idols or images in the Buddha's time, and certainly no ritualshis motel room after one of the heroin-laden condoms in his stomach burst. The police decided to swap the shipment with fake heroin, leading to a huge upset in his industry. Mahoney was monitored going to a meeting with one of his lieutenants—a meeting where he executed the lieutenant and inadvertently shot a bystander before speeding off.

Lewis pursued, and Kellerman and Narcotics Detective Terri Stivers hopped in a vehicle moments later. They sped back to Mahoney's condominium and stormed in to find a disarmed Lewis on the ground, facing his own gun in Mahoney's hand. Kellerman gave three warnings, and Mahoney lowered, but did not drop, the gun. Kellerman then prepared to read Mahoney his rights, only getting as far as "You have the right to remain silent"

Junior Bunk was brought in for questioning, but refused to implicate his mother.

Although he was ultimately shot dead by Bayliss, Lewis, Kellerman, and Giardello, Detectives Gharty and Ballard were injured and three uniformed officers were killed.

failed to make the other pertinent and required disclosures discussed above.
The City filed a petition for a rehearing before the court of appeals two days prior to Reed's acceptance of the City's offer. When it learned of Lubke's bankruptcy from Reed's acceptance of its Rule 68 offer of judgment, the City sought leave from the court of appeals to raise the issue of Lubke's bankruptcy and to argue that his claim should be judicially estopped.
Reed filed a complaint with the bankruptcy court to revoke Lubke's discharge. The Lubkes answered and later agreed with Reed to a judgment revoking the bankruptcy discharge. At a hearing before the bankruptcy court, the bankruptcy judge informed the Lubkes that their discharge was going to be revoked. She specifically informed the Lubkes thatbeen met because Lubke's inconsistent position before the bankruptcy court came after he had filed his suit against the City and after he had won his judgment. But the order of Lubke's inconsistencies is immaterial, at least under these circumstances, because the advantage gained by Lubke doesn't change. Lubke's failing to disclose his judgment to the bankruptcy court while at the same time defending it before the court of appeals still placed Lubke in a position of benefitting from a bankruptcy discharge while standing in line to receive substantial funds from his judgment against the City. Thus, the Court concludes that the first element of judicial estoppel has been established.

2. Acceptance Of Inconsistent Positions
The second element of judicial estoppel is also present. After reviewing Lubke's disclosed assets, which


to ask his bankruptcy attorney or anyone from the lawfirm to explain the terms to him. He also claimed that when he was handed the typed, finished version of his bankruptcy forms, he did not read through them carefully before signing them.
Lubke was at the very least negligent in his disclosures. He testified that there were a number of places on his forms where, although he understood what information the form sought, he failed to provide such information.[8] And even after reopening his bankruptcy and submitting amended schedules, the only correction he made regarded this lawsuit and judgment. He still failed to carefully review his disclosures to ensure that, this time around, it would be completely accurate. This allowed his other previous omissions to remain. Such carelessness cannotLubke at his initial bankruptcy.
[5]  Lubke's bankruptcy attorney, Michael Rogers, denied that Lubke ever mentioned the judgment against the City. Rogers testified that Lubke simply told him that he was retired from the City. Based on the testimony at trial and the Court's viewing of the witnesses, the Court finds as fact that Lubke did not tell Rogers that he retired from the City of Arlington, but that he had been wrongfully terminated in violation of the FMLA. The Court further finds that Lubke did in fact tell Rogers about the judgment against the City. The evidence is unclear, however, as to whether Rogers advised Lubke that he did not need to disclose the judgment unless Lubke actually received any money, or, whether Rogers simply was not
