Hospitalists' involvement in pediatrics training: perspectives from pediatric residency program and clerkship directors.
To explore the use and perceived impact of pediatric hospitalists as teaching attendings among pediatric residency and clerkship programs. Between November 2007 and February 2008, the authors conducted a mail-based survey of all pediatric residency program directors (170) and pediatric clerkship directors (131) in the United States as identified by the Association of Pediatric Program Directors and Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics. The surveys focused on the responsibilities of pediatric hospitalists in training programs and their perceived impact on the roles of pediatric residents and medical students. The response rate for residency directors was 86% (146/170) and 87% (114/131) for clerkship directors. One hundred thirteen (77%) residency programs and 91 (80%) clerkship programs used'The Manchurian Candidate': Angela Lansbury

Sure, there are plenty of manipulative mamas on the big screen, but when a woman turns her own son into an assassin, she is in a class of her own. In "The Manchurian Candidate," Eleanor Iselin brainwashes her "war hero" son (Laurence Harvey) into murdering her political opponents to further her own political aims. In the 1962 adaptation of this haunting political thriller, Angela Lansbury won a Golden Globe for playing the evil Eleanor Iselin. Meryl Streep reprised the role (as Eleanor Shaw) in 2004.

When Anthrax visits the Bomb Factory this week in Dallas, alongside fellow metal rockers Lamb of God, DFW fans will get to see one of the most iconic thrash metal bands of all-time. There are four bands to be considered the most influential thrash metal bands in history, and Anthrax is one of the Big Four alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. According to Loudwire on Saturday, Anthrax has been honored again in the Smithsonian Institution’s “Places of Invention” series.

In the video for the Smithsonian Institution, the members of Anthrax talk about growing up in New York in the '70s and describe what the city was like then compared to what it has grown into. Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Frank


Bello, and former singer Joey Belladonna are all profiled in the video and they talk about their influences, such as Iron Maiden and Motorhead, and their cross-genre work with Public Enemy.

The Anthrax and Public Enemy collaboration was a huge moment for both bands, bringing them to mainstream attention and proving that thrash metal and hip-hop were not all that different. It started when Benante wore a Public Enemy shirt when he was playing during the Among the Living tour and then Chuck D name-dropped Anthrax on their next album. The result was the song “Bring the Noise.”

The song was an original Public Enemy song from 1987, released on the soundtrack for the movie “Less Than Zero” and on the Public Enemy album It Takes a Nation of Millionsin a disrespectful manner.

He also said that Kempton was a trained mechanic and that it was his own negligence that led to the fire.

Seven people suffered injuries after riot police clashed with anti-fascists at a neo-Nazi rally in Stockholm. Police say four law enforcement officers needed treatment, along with three civilians.

The march was organized by the Party of Swedes, a far-right organization, and attracted around 150 members. They were far outnumbered by those protesting against the gathering, with thousands gathering in the city center. The vast majority of protesters were well-behaved, but a minority attacked the police with firecrackers, bottles, eggs and panels from a security fence.

"We have had violent riots with people throwing objects at police," police spokesman Lars Bystrom said, according to AP. He also mentioned that two arrests were made, one for “preparation of aggravated assault,” and another for climbing onto the roof of the Royal Opera House,where the neo-Nazi group started and ended their march.

The rally took place with Swedish parliamentary elections set to take place in two weeks. Just last week, on August 23, violence broke out at another march held by the Party of Swedes in Malmo, which has a high immigrant population with 31 percent of the city’s residents having been born abroad, according to the city’s official website.

The trouble started after anti-fascists tried to block the neo-Nazi march and clashed with the police ahead of a speech by Stefan Jacobsson, the leader of the Party of Swedes. Ten people were injured during the clashes, with many of the demonstrators critical of the heavy-handed tactics used by the police, which included a charge by officers mounted on horseback at the participants.

“I


am shocked at the police’s excessive force,” Matilda Renkvist, one of the organizer of the demonstration, said.

This is not the first time Malmö has witnessed disturbing scenes of violence during protests. In March 2013, a standoff between anti-racist demonstrators and anti-Muslim group the Swedish Defense League (SDL) was similarly dispersed by police using horses, dogs and helicopters.

The Party of Swedes is campaigning on an anti-immigration ticket. Their program says they want to stop immigration and keep Swedish citizenship for people with “Western genetic and cultural heritage,” AP reports.

Formerly known as the National Socialist Front, they managed to win one local council seat in a small town in central Sweden in 2010. However, the Party of Swedes do not enjoy widespread support and with elections in a fortnight, theyare not expected to gain nearly enough support to enter the national parliament.

However, one party which is expected to challenge the two leading parties, the Social Democrats and the Moderate Party, is the nationalist Swedish Democrats, who have enjoyed a surge in support over their anti-immigration policy. The country expects more than 80,000 asylum seekers this year, with a large portion coming from Syria. There was a 70 percent jump in applications in the first six months of 2014, with such a rise not seen since the Yugoslav Civil War in the early 1990s, according to the Swedish Migration Board.

According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Sweden received the most asylum applications per person in the world from 2009 to 2013. The share of Swedes born abroad

The MLB regular season is in the books and the 2019 MLB playoff field is officially set. As 10 teams begin their October quests for World Series glory, we asked ESPN.com's Bradford Doolittle, Jeff Passan and David Schoenfield to weigh in on who is built to make deep runs, which supposed powerhouses could be most vulnerable, the breakout players to watch and much more.

Of the four wild-card teams, which one has the best chance to make a deep October run?

Doolittle: Nationals. The A's are probably the most complete of the four teams, but they'll likely have to steer past both the Astros and Yankees. As much as the Washington bullpen concerns me, the combination of their rotation and a strong, well-balanced offense makes the Nats the team mostchance they won't -- but it's not a wager I'd be willing to place. Happily, when it comes to October, nothing is guaranteed, but there is nevertheless a very clear super-tier in baseball this season. Editor's Picks Olney: The X factor of every playoff team heading into October

2019 MLB playoffs: Latest news and full postseason coverage

2019 MLB playoff schedule and how to watch every postseason game 2 Related

Passan: Give me Dodgers, Astros and Yankees. All are certainly at least a little vulnerable. Minnesota could outslug New York. The A's or Rays aren't going to roll over for the Astros. The Nationals match up nicely with the Dodgers, and the Brewers are the hottest team in baseball. And those are only the Big Three's division series matchups. That said,


trajectory of his team's October?

Doolittle: For all the slugging the Minnesota Twins have done this season, the amazing rookie season from Luis Arraez has played a big part in keeping the Twins' offense multifaceted. Arraez's 7.2 runs created per game ranks third on the team -- ahead of Miguel Sano, Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler, among others. So the sight of him being carted off the field on Saturday was frightening for a team that was already pretty beat up as the postseason begins. It appears that Arraez's sprain -- diagnosed as Grade 1 -- isn't too bad. Hopefully, he'll be available. For one thing, his throwback style deserves a national audience. For another, the Twins will have to put up some crooked numbers to survive the Yankees.it's something. Severino topped out at 80 pitches in his three outings, but after mowing down the bad Angels and Blue Jays, he walked four in three innings against the Rangers in his third start. Certainly the fastball velocity says he's healthy -- if he can give the Yankees five or six innings, that will be a huge boost to their chances.

What's the one matchup you hope we see this postseason?

Doolittle: : It's probably a stretch to say I'm rooting for an Astros-Nationals World Series, but, man, that would be a lot of fun. For one thing, it would be a matchup where we might actually see a string of World Series games where starting pitchers duel each other deep into games. Scherzer vs. Verlander - former teammates.


Strasburg vs. Cole - strikeout kings. Corbin vs. Greinke - again, former teammates, and they both played for Arizona just last season. The stories write themselves.

Passan: Is it too easy to say Astros-Dodgers? It is? Well, I don't care. Never in history have two teams with 106 or more regular-season victories met in the World Series. The Astros are the clear favorites in the AL. The Dodgers are the clear favorites in the NL. Both teams' lineups exasperate opposing pitchers; both teams' pitching staffs exasperate opposing hitters. They field the ball cleanly. They're deep. They're talented. They're exciting. And their last World Series matchup, in 2017, went seven games and featured a number of memorable, back-and-forth festivals of run-scoring. The desire, every season, is for the two bestof his breakout coincides perfectly with the onset of the October tournament. Since the All-Star break, Flaherty has been the best pitcher in the National League. His run has been reminiscent of other amazing streaks from Cardinals aces in the past, like Bob Gibson in 1968 and John Tudor in 1985. Flaherty is poised to become a national star -- and he's got the SoCal looks and the unflappable personality to exploit his opportunity.

Passan: Yordan Alvarez blitzed the major leagues by slashing .317/.406/.733 in June, his first month -- and followed that up with a .333/.419/627 line in July, .309/.425/.670 in August and .329/.424/.671 this month entering the final game of the season. Since his debut, he has been a better hitter than Mike Trout, Christian Yelich, Anthony


Rendon and every one of his Houston Astros teammates, including Alex Bregman. The question, then, isn't about whether the 22-year-old is going to break out in October. It's about who's going to sit for him if the Astros make it to the World Series and lose the DH in an NL park.

Schoenfield: I guess you could argue that Ronald Acuna Jr. has already broken out, following up his sensational rookie season with a super sophomore campaign in which he hit 41 home runs and stole 37 bases. This is his opportunity, however, to do it on the big stage, and he has the swagger that reminds me of a certain Mr. October from the past.

Who is the player under the most pressure entering the postseason?

Doolittle: The Astros enterthe playoffs in the favorite's seat, and while most of their players seem perfectly comfortable wearing that target, it will be interesting to see how Zack Greinke reacts to it. His postseason record to date is a mixed bag. Most recently, he was knocked out early in the 2017 NL wild-card game, then walked five over five innings in his only NLDS start the next round against the Dodgers. He has never been to the World Series, and the spotlight never gets brighter than during the Fall Classic.

Passan: Isn't it always Clayton Kershaw? While he may not look like the unstoppable, unhittable Kershaw


of his prime, he's still an excellent starting pitcher. A bad playoff résumé is the lone ding on Kershaw's permanent record, with an ERA nearly two runs higher in the postseason than the regular season (4.32 to 2.44). If Kershaw summons more performances similar to the eight shutout innings he threw in last year's division series or seven brilliant innings in Game 1 of the 2017 World Series, the Dodgers have a far greater chance to do what they've been one step away from the past two seasons: win the whole damn thing.

Activists rally against Hobby Lobby's choice to deny contraceptive healthcare coverage to its employees outside the Supreme Court March 25, 2014 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court will hear arguments today if Hobby Lobby and other for profit corporations can refuse to cover contraceptive services in their employee's healthcare for religious reasons. AFP PHOTO/Brendan SMIALOWSKI (Photo credit should read BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images)

Anti-abortion groups are still fighting the Obama administration's birth control coverage rule in court, despite a new accommodation that gives employers a way to opt out of providing the coverage directly.

Americans United for Life, an anti-abortion advocacy group, on Tuesday filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court claiming that the accommodation still violates the religious beliefs of business owners who believe birth control ison behalf of several religious doctors' groups.

"The coercive impact on the plan paid and arranged for by the religious employer remains the same."

The Affordable Care Act originally required most employers, with the exception of churches and religious nonprofits, to include the full range of contraception in their health insurance plans with no out-of-pocket cost to women. But after the Supreme Court ruled this summer in the Hobby Lobby decision that for-profit corporations could not be required to cover methods of birth control to which they object, the White House tweaked the contraception mandate. The new rule is meant to accommodate the religious beliefs of all objecting employers, while ensuring that women who work for those employers continue to receive the full range of coverage.

The accommodation broadens the original


fix and changes nothing,” said Dr. Charmaine Yoest, president and CEO of AUL. “People are still forced to violate their pro-life convictions by subsidizing life-ending drugs and devices."

Religious nonprofits, including Little Sisters of the Poor, a group of Catholic nuns, are hoping to take their case to the Supreme Court in the next year. These groups claim the accommodation does not do enough to separate them from the act of covering birth control.

The National Women's Law Center, which has filed briefs with the Supreme Court in support of the contraception coverage rule, said the religious beliefs of employers are more than accommodated by the requirement.

"The reason this requirement is there is because 99 percent of women in this country use contraception at some time in their lives, andbe the only quality that will see the team retain their support for the third Test.

Sri Lanka's experienced batsmen were called on by their captain to go big in Melbourne and the game plan on a good pitch was to bat first and spend enough time at the crease to bring Rangana Herath into the game on a wearing pitch. Instead, the batting in both innings bore all the stability of a slowly collapsing circus tent.

At the end of the first day's play, coach Graham Ford suggested the excitement of a Boxing Day Test and Sri Lanka's desperation to do well may have drawn the batting errors that comprised their capitulation. If that is the case, Sri Lanka's top order, who have close to 400 Tests between them,


were not far different from an excited child who springs from bed on his Christmas morning, runs straight into a wall and spends the day in a coma. It is not an image a team perpetually struggling to achieve global recognition needs to portray in one of the most widely followed cricket matches of the year.

That a man of Kumar Sangakkara's quality had never played a Test in one of cricket's most iconic venues until he was 35 was considered a minor travesty by some, but after this loss - the third heaviest in the team's history - Sri Lanka's next generation will be fortunate to play a Boxing Day Test at all.

Day three's collapse was even more risible than the first innings effort. Inside two overs, SriLanka were 3 for 3 needing to bat for nearly three days to save the Test. They might have had little to gain at that stage but there was not even a hint of courage in their demise and at times batsmen seemed to be looking for the ball to which they could succumb. Sri Lanka's cricketers can be glad that even their most impassioned followers do not descend to the ugliness that sportsmen sometimes have to contend with elsewhere in the subcontinent.

On a pitch Mitchell Johnson made appear a road as he beat out an unruffled 92 not out, he then made appear a lake of fire, as he took 2 for 16 and ended the tour of Sri Lanka's best batsman, Sangakkara - whose innings was

Hard truths or harshness borne from the bitterness of defeat? It is only a few days since SL pushed Aus deep into the last session of the last day in Hobart so maybe a little perspective is required. Aus conditions are completely different to those in SL and for decades Aus struggled in "final frontier" India and Pakistan for the same reason. The answer may lie in SL having more participation in overseas Emerging Players Tournaments, A-side tours and, where possible, SL players in overseas T20 tournaments.

The virtual Republican nominee for November presidential election in the United States, Mitt Romney, on Thursday congratulated Venezuelans for their Independence Day and regretted that their president, Hugo Chávez, fails to honor the spirit of liberty that prevailed when Venezuela was founded 201 years ago.

"Unfortunately, the leader of Venezuela has failed to honor the spirit of freedom with which Venezuela was established. Hugo Chávez is promoting ideas in Venezuela and other Latin American countries that run counter to freedom, prevent prosperity and expand tyranny," said the Republican leader in a statement quoted by news agency EFE.

Romney, who surely will be appointed at the end of August as the official Republican candidate for president,


according to EFE, on Thursday sent his best wishes to Venezuelans on the commemoration of their independence. He recalled that Venezuelans "have made huge contributions to the culture of the United States."

One day after the United States also commemorated its Independence Day, Romney reaffirmed the Venezuelan people "the pledge to defend democracy and remain united with them and others who defend the rights of their fellow countrymen."

Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also congratulated Venezuela and reminded the importance of the free presidential election that will be held this year in the South American country. She described the vote as the best way to pay tribute to Venezuela's founding fathers.

FACTS
Edward died August 9, 1987. He was survived by his spouse, Kathleen, and two children from a previous marriage: Jill A. Nemetz, born August 22, 1972, and Christopher Nemetz, born November 20, 1975. At the time of his death, Edward owned residential property in Omaha, Nebraska. From the time of Edward's death through the time of the proceedings below, Kathleen continued to live in the house, paid the mortgage and taxes, and made necessary repairs to


the premises.
No probate proceeding was commenced until September 14, 2005, at which time, Kathleen filed in the county court an application for informal appointment of personal representative in intestacy. She was appointed as personal representative of Edward's estate in an unsupervised administration, and a letter of personal representative was issued to her. On October 4, Kathleen, as personal representative, signed a deed of distribution transferring the residential property to herself.
On January 27, 2006, Jill and Christopher petitioned the court for formal adjudication of intestacy, removal of the personal representative, appointment of a successor personal representative, determination of heirs, and surcharge of the former personal representative. The court separated the issues raised in the children's petition and held an evidentiary hearing on their request to remove Kathleen as personalrepresentative. At the end of the hearing, the court found no reason to remove Kathleen and entered an order denying the children's request. From that order, the children appeal.

ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR
The children assert, restated, that the county court erred (1) in finding that its jurisdiction was not limited by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2408 (Reissue 1995) to determining only how Edward's property devolved at his death and (2) in denying their request to remove Kathleen as the personal representative for the estate.

ANALYSIS
In their brief on appeal, the children make a number of arguments about issues that have not yet been adjudicated in the county court. The only ruling from which the children have appealed is the order denying their request to remove Kathleen as personal representative. Just two


or proceeding concerning the succession or administration has occurred within the three-year period."
The record shows that Edward died intestate on August 9, 1987. No formal or informal proceeding for probate or proceeding concerning the succession or administration of Edward's estate occurred within 3 years after his death. Kathleen filed her application for informal appointment of personal representative on September 14, 2005. Although this filing was made more than 3 years after Edward's death, we conclude that under the plain language of § 30-2408, the county court had jurisdiction to appoint Kathleen as personal representative of Edward's estate.

DENIAL OF REQUEST TO REMOVE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
The children also claim that the county court erred in refusing to remove Kathleen as personal representative. A personal representative of an estate may be removednot been determined. During the hearing on the children's removal request, Kathleen stated that if the court were to determine that the residence should have been distributed differently, she would distribute it in accordance with the court's ruling.
To the extent that the children's argument stands for the notion that Kathleen cannot serve as personal representative because of her interest in the estate, this court has previously rejected such notion. Those who are directly interested in estates are regularly selected and appointed as personal representatives. See In re Estate of Rosso, 270 Neb. 323, 701 N.W.2d 355 (2005). "That the named personal representative is interested in the estate and that his or her interest may become hostile to those of the other interested beneficiaries does not necessarily render the

In Britain, the control grid is moving along at a brisk clip. As if barking CCTVs, random searches, terrorist databases, metal detectors in the street, and other intrusive methods of control and intimidation are not enough, now folks going to the cinema will be searched. The People reports:

Cinema-goers may be searched on the way into shows in a new crackdown on suicide bombers.

Suicide bombers? Indeed, a big problem in merry old England, never mind one of the last “suicide bombers” that struck on July 7, 2005, planted his bomb under the Circle line train in London. It was apparently a Houdini trick. Maybe the cops will begin crawling under trains, looking for wily bombers determined to disrupt the British way of life?

confirmation Saturday.

What Republicans hoped would be a smooth confirmation hearing was thrown into tumult after three women went public with allegations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh while he was in high school and college.

Kavanaugh offered a fiery defense against the accusations, saying at a hearing last week in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee that the allegations were planned “smears” and part of Democrats’ “revenge on behalf of the Clintons.”

Flake, who was later joined by Collins, Murkowski and Donnelly, forced the White House to request an FBI inquiry into the allegations by threatening to withhold their votes for his confirmation.

Flake announced earlier Friday he would vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

The FBI returned the results of a nearly weeklong investigation into the allegations to the Senate on Thursday.

Many Senate RepublicansUnited States in any way at all because there was something wrong with their visas, something wrong with their passports. They should simply have been stopped at the border. That was sixteen of the nineteen. Obviously, if even half of those people had been stopped, there never would have been a plot."

Khalid al Mihdhar and Nawaf al Hazmi had both been identified as al-Qaeda agents by the CIA, but that information was not shared with the FBI or U.S. Immigration, so both men were able to legally enter the U.S. to prepare for the 9/11 attacks.

Foreign governments

There are allegations that individuals within the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) may have played an important role in financing the attacks. There are also claims that other foreign intelligence agencies, such


people involved in this movement, which seemingly is a disparate group with very diversified backgrounds, could be classified into three groups. They join the movement for different reasons, loosely self-assemble to fill different roles and are united by their shared mistrust in experts and the establishment (government and reputable sources of knowledge), and conspiratorial stance. Through their engagement, they each find their own fulfillment and satisfaction. Together, they contribute to the persistence, resilience and exaggerated claims of acceptance (in general public) of the movement. These three groups are:
 Hard Core: The organizers and active members of the various 9/11 Truth Movement organizations. They produce the information, spot the anomalies and technical inconsistencies, provide the technical base and form the theories. While they claim to be only interested into comparisons between that movement and the 9/11 Truth movement, with both movements seen in a very negative light. Moon landing conspiracy theories have also been compared to the birther and 9/11 conspiracy theories. James Borne, a journalist for The New York Times who covered the September 11 attacks, described his assignment covering a 9/11 truth meeting as "[p]erhaps the most intellectually scary assignment I have had in recent years".

On August 31, 2009, the National Geographic Channel aired the program 9/11 Science and Conspiracy, in which the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center tested some of the claims frequently made by those who question the accepted 9/11 account. Specifically, the experiments concluded that burning jet fuel alone can sufficiently raise the temperature of a steel support column to


attacks last November.

So… on Tuesday morning, Dixon received a text message from his aunt: “Had he heard about the explosions at the airport in Brussels, and was he safe? Dixon texted her back: He was fine. And I’m sure his aunt and the rest of his family in England were greatly relieved.

The only thing is, he texted these words while on his way to the subway station to catch his train for his daily commute to work. He never made it. A bomb ripped through the station and killed at least 20. He was one of the victims—and for three days his family and friends back home didn’t know he wasn’t safe, that he didn’t survive the attacks.

Remember the first murder in human history? It’s recorded in Genesisall seriousness and with respect, “How are you going to celebrate Christmas after the events in Newtown?” I reminded her that the very first Christmas was celebrated in the midst of another Newtown. The names of the children were different. The place was different: It was in Bethlehem instead of Connecticut. But it was Newtown all the same. Because remember: King Herod was so jealous that there was a child who had been born King of the Jews that he sent his army into Bethlehem to slaughter all male children two years and younger—just to make sure that he would have killed Jesus while he was at it. Of course, by that time Joseph had been warned in a dream to flee with his family to Egypt.

The blood


excused by the exception we just quoted. The plaintiffs, a purported class of former Andersen employees, are here challenging that decision on appeal.

3
First, a little background. As of early 2002, Andersen had over 27,000 employees in 80 locations throughout the country. In addition to providing direct accounting and consulting services for clients, Andersen performed administrative support services for approximately 80 international practice firms that used the Andersen name. One of the firm's major clients was the Enron Corporation, the infamous Houston, Texas, energy marketer that fell like a house of cards in 2001 when it came to light that the company had grossly misstated its earnings. Andersen was at the center of Hurricane Enron — it audited the company's publicly filed financial statements and provided internal counseling. SeeUnited States v. Arthur Andersen, LLP, 374 F.3d 281 (5th Cir.2004).

4
In November of 2001, Andersen received bad news in the form of a subpoena from the SEC requesting Enron-related documents. During the course of its investigation, the SEC discovered that Andersen employees destroyed thousands of relevant documents in the 6 weeks leading up to its receipt of the subpoena. Over the next few months, the media began to speculate about Andersen's continuing viability. Stories also circulated that Andersen's employees were concerned about layoffs and that some of the company's clients were contemplating defection.

5
During this time, Andersen worked hard to try to resolve its Enron-related ills with the SEC and the Department of Justice (DOJ). As of February 22, 2002, Andersen had not suffered a significant loss of business


of the company and focus instead on culpable individual employees. The DOJ refused to budge, and on March 14 the indictment was unsealed.

9
To the surprise of no one, news of the indictment triggered massive client defection. From March 15 to the 31st, Andersen lost $300 million in business. During this time period, the practice group on West Monroe Street in Chicago alone lost $57 million, roughly 14 percent of its fees. To put the gravity of these losses in perspective, the firm had lost only $5 million, or 1 percent, in the 10 weeks preceding the indictment. On March 28, Andersen announced that it was eliminating support services for its international network, which would result in additional revenue loss.

10
In light of these setbacks, and with additional hemorrhaging expected,Andersen decided to lay off thousands of employees. On April 8, management at West Monroe gave notices of termination to 560 employees, including Nancy Roquet and Coretta Robinson, the named plaintiffs in this suit. After receiving notice, Roquet remained on the payroll for 2 weeks and Robinson for 5 weeks. Andersen also made major cuts at its North Michigan Avenue site in Chicago as well as at its training facility in St. Charles, Illinois.

11
Roquet and Robinson filed a class-action complaint in federal district court alleging that Andersen violated the WARN Act by failing to give 60 days notice to its workers before laying them off. They sought back pay and lost benefits. In August of 2002, the court certified a class consisting of workers from the two Chicago


that Andersen would be indicted as a company — in the past, the government typically went after culpable individuals, not companies as a whole.1 By all accounts, this was an unusual move by the DOJ. There is evidence in the record suggesting that Andersen could have reasonably foreseen the indictment by March1 — the date it was told by the DOJ that it was being indicted. But hope still remained that the dreaded act could be stalled if not avoided.

16
We believe that a reasonable company in Andersen's position would have reacted as it did. Confronted with the possibility of an indictment that threatened its very survival, the firm continued to negotiate with the government until the very end and turned to layoffs only after the indictment became public.furnished to husband's counsel at an address listed as "1200 Plantation Dr., South" in St. Augustine, Florida.
On November 4, 2004, husband filed a rule 1.540(b) motion to vacate the order on rehearing, alleging that neither he nor his attorney received a copy of the order denying his motion until after the time for taking an appeal had run. The motion alleged that the order had obviously been sent to an incorrect address, as the correct address for husband's counsel's is "1200 Plantation Island Drive South." The trial court summarily denied the motion to vacate, and husband has appealed.
On appeal, wife does not dispute that husband was not given proper notice of the order denying his motion for rehearing. She therefore agrees that husband's November 22, 2004, notice of

The hanging of Mumtaz Qadri has sparked a fresh debate on blasphemy law in Pakistan. Qadri was executed on 29 February at Adiala jail in Rawalpindi for gunning down Salman Taseer, the former Governor of Punjab.

Qadri was an elite commando, who was deputed as one of Taseer's bodyguards. He murdered Taseer for the latter's defence of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death under Pakistan's blasphemy law.

While secular and liberal voices across the world hailed the sentence; within Pakistan, a different reaction emerged. A large segment of the Pakistani society mourned Qadri's death as martyrdom. He was accorded the title of ' (the lover of the messenger)' by radical elements and over 1,00,000 people attended his funeral held at Liaquat Bagh on 1 March.

In contrast, the reactionKamlesh Tiwari posted objectionable comments on social media. There was violence amid a clamour for death to Tiwari. A large number of Muslims came out on the streets in over two dozen districts of Uttar Pradesh. Although, Tiwari has been jailed and the law is taking its course, the demand for his hanging has not subsided within Muslims.

This shows that the majority of Muslims are intolerant towards blasphemy. This sentiment was evident during worldwide agitation against Salman Rushdie's book . A fatwa issued for Rushdie's murder only added to his popularity. He became the face of the perceived Muslim intolerance in the western media. Rushdie's opposition only deepened misapprehensions regarding Islam. The whole community of Muslims paid for the whim of a few of its leaders.

Chairperson of the Ireland-Palestinian Solidarity Campaign Fatin Al Tamimi addresses the crowd on O'Connell Street in Dublin today.

A CROWD GATHERED today at the Spire on O’Connell Street in Dublin to protest against the killing of 60 Palestinians by Israeli troops yesterday in Gaza.

The demonstration was arranged by the Ireland-Palestinian Solidarity Campaign and also marked 70 years since Nakba – or the catastrophe – for Palestinians, the term used to mark the events of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, in which hundreds of thousands fled or were forced from their homes.

This evening, TDs have been making statements in the Dáil on the killing of Gazans by Israeli troops – with widespread condemnation coming from the speakers.

Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said earlier expressed his “profound shock” at the killings in Gaza and said that nothing he had seen from the protesters had justified that response from Israeli troops.

“The number of people injured by live ammunition is very troubling, and I support calls by the EU and by the UN Secretary General for an independent and transparent investigation,” he said yesterday.

Embassy

Despite the bloodshed, the embassy inauguration on Monday went ahead as planned in Jerusalem, attended by a Washington delegation that included US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, both White House aides.

The embassy inauguration – which took place on the 70th anniversary of Israel’s founding – followed Trump’s 6 December recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Israel occupied the West Bank and east Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed east Jerusalem in a move never recognised by the international community.

Jerusalem’s status is perhaps the thorniest issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israel considers the entire city its capital, while the Palestinians see east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.

and ultimately conducted a traffic stop. Stelly and White
were transported to the police station and interviewed. After
authorities obtained buccal swabs from each, Stelly and White
were released.
   A search warrant was then obtained for Stelly’s apartment
and the PT Cruiser. During the search of the apartment, offi-
cers discovered the keys to the PT Cruiser under some couch
cushions. They also found and seized a hat they believed
Stelly was wearing during the relevant time period based on
time-stamped photographs discovered on Stelly’s social media
profile. The search of the PT Cruiser showed it had damage
to the wheel wells on the driver’s side. Evidence adduced at

in the street was searched.
   The officer who swore the affidavit testified at the sup-
pression hearing. He noticed, after returning the warrant, that
he had “made an error when listing the cell phone itself in
the search warrant and the affidavit as far as property being
searched.” According to the officer, his narrative descrip-
tion correctly referenced the LG cell phone found in the

She references some of her influences, including Dido Nicholson, and finally her move from classical ballet to contemporary dance. She also discusses her forays into choreography, her spirituality, and her aspirations to act.

The issue will be clarified by a brief reference to the antecedents of the controversy. Under the Spanish law as enforced in the Philippine Islands before the American domination the duty of free carriage as stated existed. Upon the cession of the Islands to the United States and the establishment there of a military government the existing condition of the subject was continued in force. It thus continued until the government passed into the hands of the Philippine Commission and was by that body specifically recognized and its further enforcement directed. Thus it prevailed without interruption until 1902, when the first act of Congress providing a general system of civil government for the Islands was passed, and it further remained operative


until 1904, when Congress passed the act of that year specifically dealing with the authority of the Philippine Government to provide for the coastwise trade, as follows (33 Stat. 181):
"Until Congress shall have authorized the registry as vessels of the United States of vessels owned in the Philippine Archipelago the government of the Philippine Islands is hereby authorized to adopt, from time to time, and enforce regulations governing the transportation of merchandise and passengers between ports or places in the Philippine Archipelago."
In fact the continued operation of the obligation to *403 carry the mails free which arose from engaging in the coastwise trade, it may be taken for granted, remained in force until 1916, since the obligation was recognized as being yet in existence and the duty toenforce it for the future was directed by § 309 of the Administrative Code of that year, in which code were also stated the existing provisions as to the registry, licensing, etc., of Philippine vessels. That the requirement continued operative thereafter results from the further fact that it was re-expressed in § 568 of the Administrative Code of 1917, which code was adopted to meet the exigencies created by the later Organic Act of the Philippine Islands enacted by Congress in August, 1916 (39 Stat. 545).
We have not stopped to refer to the Spanish law, to the military orders, to the reports of civilian officials, and to the action of the Philippine Commission on the subject, as above stated, because the references to them were made below in


Marginal Note A, which Mr. Justice Carson made a part of his dissenting opinion.
It is undoubted that during all this period vessels were permitted to engage in the coastwise trade only upon the issuance to and the acceptance by them of licenses, the enjoyment of which depended upon the performance of the legal duty of the free carriage of the mails.
The respondents were in 1916 the owners of steam vessels of Philippine registry, licensed to engage in the coastwise trade upon the condition stated, and the controversy before us arose in consequence of a notice given by them to the Philippine Director of Posts that after a date designated they would no longer comply with the duty to carry the mails free. That official sought its enforcement atpower to deal with the coastwise trade so as to permit its enjoyment only by those who were willing to comply with the condition as to free mail carriage and therefore that no violation of individual right could have resulted from giving effect to such condition. We reach this conclusion because the possession and exercise of such power in the Islands before their cession to the United States, its exertion under the military government of the United States which followed the cession, and its continuance by every form of civil *406 government created by Congress for the Islands, compels to that view in the absence of any law expressly providing to the contrary or which by reasonable implication leads to that result.
Indeed, the conclusion that the power was


possessed does not rest alone upon the general consideration stated, since it is additionally sustained by recalling the express provision of the Act of Congress of 1904, to which we have previously referred, giving authority for the registry of Philippine vessels and recognizing the power of the Government of the Philippine Islands to deal with the coastwise trade, an authority which, as it contains no provision tending to the contrary, must be construed as applicable to and sanctioning the power which had been exerted from the very inception of the American domination, to provide as to that trade for the free carriage of the mails. In other words, in view of the power to impose the burden in question, exerted in the Philippine Islands from the beginning andwhich was then being exerted under the authority of Congress, the conferring by Congress upon the Philippine Government by the Act of 1904 of the authority to make regulations concerning such trade was a recognition of the right to make the regulation theretofore made, which was then in force, and which continued to be in force up to the time of the bringing of this suit, without disapproval or change by Congress.
When the authority which the Act of 1904 gave is borne in mind it makes it clear that the mistake which underlies the entire argument as to the non-existence of power here relied upon arises from the erroneous assumption that the constitutional limitations of power which operate upon the authority of Congress when legislating for the United


Chris Hedges’ talk at the United Opt Out Conference

My youngest son enters third grade in Princeton next year and I have already told the principal that not only will he not be taking the standardized test, but I will be organizing every parent in that classroom.

Chris Hedges, the son of a Presbyterian minister, was born on September 18, 1956 in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He graduated from Colgate University with a BA in English Literature and went on to receive a Master of Divinity from Harvard. He has an honorary doctorate from Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, California.

Hedges spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He was an early and outspoken critic of the USplan to invade and occupy Iraq and called the press coverage at the time “shameful cheerleading.” In 2002, he was part of a team of reporters for The New York Times who won a Pulitzer Prize for the paper’s coverage of global terrorism. That same year he won an Amnesty International Global Award for Human Rights Journalism.

In 2003, shortly after the war in Iraq began, Hedges was asked to give the commencement address at Rockford College in Rockford, Illinois. He told the graduating class “…we are embarking on an occupation that, if history is any guide, will be as damaging to our souls as it will be to our prestige, power and security.” He went on to say that “This is a war of liberation in Iraq, but


it is a war of liberation by Iraqis from American occupation.” As he spoke, several hundred members of the audience began jeering and booing. His microphone was cut twice. Two young men rushed the stage to try to prevent him from speaking and Hedges had to cut short his address. He was escorted off campus by security officials before the diplomas were awarded. This event made national news and he became a lightning rod not only for right wing pundits and commentators, but also mainstream newspapers. The Wall Street Journal ran an editorial which denounced his anti-war stance and the The New York Times issued a formal reprimand, forbidding Hedges to speak about the war. The reprimand condemned his remarks as undermining the paper’s impartiality. Hedges resigned shortlythereafter and became a senior fellow at the Nation Institute.

Hedges’ is the author of the 2002 best seller, War is A Force That Gives Us Meaning, which is an examination of what war does to individuals and societies. He states that war is the pornography of violence, a powerful narcotic that “…has a dark beauty, filled with the monstrous and the grotesque.” He goes on to explain, “War gives us a distorted sense of self. It gives us meaning. It creates a feeling of comradeship that obliterates our alienation and makes us feel, for perhaps the first time in our lives, that we belong.” Of his own experience of war, living and working as a journalist in the war zones of Central America, the Balkans and the Middle


East, he writes: “I have seen too much of violent death. I have tasted too much of my own fear. I have painful memories that lie buried and untouched most of the time. It is never easy when they surface.”

Some contend that his 2008 book, Collateral Damage, is his most courageous work. For it, he interviewed combat veterans of the Iraq war who have testified on the record about atrocities carried out by American soldiers and marines during the military occupation of Iraq. His book reveals in heartbreaking detail the devastating moral and physical consequences of the occupation.

Hedges has also published the following books: What Every Person Should Know About War (2003); Losing Moses on the Freeway: The Ten Commandments in America (2005);American Fascists: The Christian Right andthe War on America (2008); I Don’t Believe in Atheists (2008); Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle ( 2009); and Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt (2012).

Color selection charts
Because paints and inks depend for their color on pigments and dyes, a reference is needed to match specific combinations of coloring substances in a given matrix against the resulting color. One of the earliest attempts to achieve this goal was the 1692 manuscript Klaer Lightende Spiegel der Verfkonst.  It presented a range of watercolor mixtures, but remained relatively unknown, because only one manuscript was produced.  Due to the development of the paint and ink industry, the requirement for this kind of chart intensified, and a number of systems are now available, including:
 "DIC Color System Guide" and "Toyo Color Finder," commonlyin both dimensions. The laptop shipped with a version of MacOS that provided support to scale the user interface twice as big as it has previously been. This feature is called HighDPI mode in MacOS and it uses a fixed scaling factor of 2 to increase the size of the user interface for high-DPI screens. Apple also introduced support for scaling the UI by rendering the user interface on higher or smaller resolution that the laptop's built-in native resolution and scaling the output to the laptop screen. One obvious downside of this approach is either a decreased performance on rendering the UI on a higher than native resolution or increased blurriness when rendering lower than native resolution. Thus, while the MacOS's user interface can be scaled using this


Raided

A Mericup Story

The Raid

Aibhlinn was gutting fish in the early morning fog with her family. It had been a terrific catch and the entire village had been working hard all night to prepare the fish for preservation. They had run out of salt already, so mum was building up the fire to smoke the rest of the fish.

The smoke smelled heavy in the still air, which covered the stink of the fish guts a little.

Struan and some of his friends had gone out to the forest to get more wood, mainly branches to set the fish on. Aibhlinn liked Struan. He was a strapping lad, he made her feel a little funny inside and she tended to giggle for no reason whenever he looked at her. She wasalmost of age to start walking out with him. She was hoping so hard he would ask her, she tried to be near him as much as she could. He looked at her sometimes with such a gentle look on his face. Her pretty brown braids were falling apart from all the work, but she would make herself look extra good after a good sleep and everyone would celebrate the phenomenal catch.

Aibhlinn looked around, wishing Struan would drop off some more branches for their fire. It was so foggy though, a thick pea soup fog that barely let her see her Da across the fire from her. The fire made the fog a sickly yellow around them them but opaque white away from the house.

Aibhlinn saw a heavy


figure walking towards them; it took her a moment to realize she didn't recognize the person. Then she noticed the sword.

Aibhlinn screamed.

"Vikings!" Da shouted as he knocked over a raider with the large salmon he had been about to gut.

"Run!" cried Mum as she bashed the Viking coming towards her with a flaming branch from the fire. Aibhlinn leapt forward to help with her little gutting knife.

"No! Make for the forest!" Mum cried as she fought the heavy fur covered Viking. The Viking tackled her. Mum fought back but they fell over into the fire. They both began to scream as their clothes and hair caught fire.

The girl turned; though her stomach clenched to think of running while her parents were in danger. A Viking with wild blackhair stepped out of the fog. She flailed wildly at him with her little gutting knife and the fish in her hands. There was the sound of tearing fabric. He slapped her little knife away, threw her over his shoulder and ran.

Aibhlinn screamed.

"Aibhlinn!" cried her Father.

"Dada!" She wailed as she saw her father run through from behind and fall just as the fog swept around them.

She beat on the back of the Viking carrying her and fought with all her strength but she was much smaller then the hulking beast of a man. He threw her down and Aibhlinn saw stars as her head knocked into the rocks of the beach. She tried to hit or scramble away but hands grabbed her and held her limbs. She screamed

Princess Merida stood and took the bundle from the boy as Queen Elinor came and held the boy. They sat on the edge of the dais and King Fergus clumped over and said, "We'll do what we can. What is your name and where are you from, boy?"

"Struan, sire. I'm from Helmsdale." He had walked from the coast to the inland capitol of the kingdom, it had taken a few days.

Carle, teamed up with the veteran presence of 38-year-old Salo will add talent to an increasingly improving Lightning defensive unit that was among the worst in the NHL last season. Salo will help mold younger players such as Carle, Victor Hedman, and Brendan Mikkelson into what will soon be a formidable defense. It is certainly already beginning to improve in large strides thanks to Yzerman’s maneuvering.

Adding Anders Lindback from the Nashville Predators is an excellent fit as well because combining 43-year-old Dwayne Roloson and 34-year-old Mathieu Garon simply was not cutting it last season as the Lightning finished with the most goals against in the league. Lindback also was also trapped behind stud goaltender Pekka Rinne in Nashville for the foreseeable future.

The move is a great fit for


both parties as Lindback will see plenty of action and the Bolts will hopefully see a dip in their goals against numbers as well. Factoring in the youth-infused defensive unit alongside Lindback, the Bolts’ play in their own zone should improve vastly, even in this truncated season.

Crombeen and Pouliot should also be valuable role players for an already strong Lightning offense. Although Pouliot has an outside shot at 20 goals (in a full season), they are simply supporting pieces to the powerful front of Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier, Teddy Purcell, and Ryan Malone.

This invention relates generally to cleaning devices, and more specifically to a broom and detachable whisk broom.
2. Description of Related Art
Brooms are common cleaning devices that have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years. Bundles of natural material such as twigs, grass, and corn husks were used in ancient times to clean floors and hearth areas. A popular material was branches of broom, a yellow flowering shrub. As civilization advanced, broom making became a skilled trade with artisans known as “besom squires” in Anglo-Saxon England. Besom being the name for a cleaning tool consisting of a bundle of sticks or twigs used to whisk dirt away.
In the United States, a species of Sorghum known as broomcorn became the standard material for brooms


in the northeastern United States, and an industry was born. The Shakers, a Christian religious sect that excelled at handicrafts, perfected various broom styles including the flat broom and the whisk broom.
With modern day materials such as plastics, many brooms are now made entirely from plastic, although there still remains a thriving demand for natural fiber brooms. Whether natural fibers or plastic, brooms typically are made with a handle to allow the user to operate the broom without bending over. There are also, however, specialized brooms known as whisk brooms or dusters that do not have handles, and are used to remove dirt and other unwanted materials from small areas or objects such as tables, clothing, a small area of a floor, and the like.

Shocked by the results, the Baganda separatists, who formed a political party called Kabaka Yekka, had second thoughts about the wisdom of their election boycott. They quickly welcomed the recommendations of a British commission that proposed a future federal form of government. According to these recommendations, Buganda would enjoy a measure of internal autonomy if it participated fully in the national government.

For its part, the UPC was equally anxious to eject its DP rivals from government before they became entrenched. Obote reached an understanding with Kabaka Freddie and the KY, accepting Buganda's special federal relationship and even a provision by which the kabaka could appoint Buganda's representatives to the

Additional results from the survey will be made available at a later date with details to be advised in theABS Release Advice. The additional results will include further information and analysis. Some Agricultural Census results have been included in this publication to provide contextual and other information, and Agricultural Census information is clearly identified where it is used.

The 2002 Land Management and Salinity Survey was mainly targeted at the reference population of farm establishments which answered yes to either or both questions in the 2001 Agricultural Census regarding having land affected by salinity or using salinity


management strategies. The survey results in this publication are based on a sample of approximately 20,000 farms establishments and the results have been weighted to cover the full reference population.

Salinity naturally occurs in Australia, but the clearing of native vegetation and use of water for irrigated agriculture, domestic and other uses has caused the salt stored beneath the ground to surface in many areas. This has affected agricultural production and damaged civil infrastructure, such as roads.

Salinity is divided into two types, dryland and irrigated. Dryland salinity is far more widespread but, in both types of salinity, it is water imbalances that are the fundamental cause of salinisation. Primarily to address the issue of dryland salinity, the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments have adopted the National Action Planmay have more than one purpose and is only reported where it was wholly or partly for salinity management.

MAIN FINDINGS

A little under 20,000 farms and 2 million hectares of agricultural land were reported by farmers as showing signs of salinity.

Nearly 30,000 farms have implemented salinity management practices.

Of the agricultural land showing signs of salinity, 800,000 hectares is unable to be used for agricultural production.

The state most affected by salinity is Western Australia, with 7,000 farms and 1.2 million hectares showing signs of salinity.

Farms within the regions identified in the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAP regions), account for 17,000 farms or 87% of farms showing signs of salinity and 1.3 million hectares or 66% of the area showing signs of salinity. The NAP region most


In addition, in the ABS survey it was farmers who identified the land showing signs of salinity. While farmers' perceptions of the area will differ from scientific assessments, they are more or less consistent with the other studies, in terms of the relative area affected by salinity in each state and territory. In all studies, WA is the state most affected by salinity and NT, ACT and Tas. are the least affected.

The National Land and Water Resources Audit (NLWRA) 2001 used information on water table height to estimate the risk of land becoming saline affected. The area at risk of salinity is not equivalent to the area showing signs of salinity, but the two are correlated.

Secretary of State John Kerry is in Egypt this morning, marking the highest level visit by a U.S. diplomat since the military ousted President Hosni Mubarak in July.

The visit also comes at a time when relations between the two countries are frayed. Reporting from Cairo, NPR's Leila Fadel sent this report to our Newscast unit:

"Kerry vowed that the United States is committed to working with the military-backed government, despite a suspension of a sizable amount of U.S. aid to Egypt. Kerry spoke to reporters alongside Egypt's Foreign


Minister Nabil Fahmy.

"'It's not a punishment; it's a reflection of the policy in the United States under our law,' Kerry said.

"Many Egyptians are angry with the U.S. for its perceived support of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood. U.S. law bars aid to Egypt in the event of a military overthrow, but the administration has yet to call Morsi's ouster a coup.

"Since Morsi's overthrow on July 3, there has been a wide crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies as the interim government moves ahead on a roadmap that would lead to elections in 2014. The U.S. is holding back some aid until there is progress on human rights and democracy.

The Parable of the Seamstress

Once upon a time, Hazel sewed her family's clothes. She lived in an era when there were no department stores or major clothing labels. And Hazel's family couldn't afford the services of the nearest tailor, so Hazel sewed because that's what was necessary to survive. And because it was necessary to survive, Hazel taught this skill to her daughter Sarah.

When Sarah grew up and had her own family, she found that this skill was no longer a necessity. For a reasonable cost, and with the aid of a department store or a catalog, she could contract someone else to do the hard work of measuring and cutting and stitching. But even


though she didn't need to sew anymore, Sarah still pulled out the Singer from time to time. She'd sit down with her daughter Kimberly in her lap and make a garment or two around Christmas. Sarah did this because the feel of the thread on her fingertips and the vibrations of the sewing machine on her palms reminded her of her mother, and she wanted to give some of those memories to her child.

But Kimberly couldn't even tell you how to thread a needle anymore. Her grandmother sewed out of necessity. Her mother sewed out of nostalgia. But Kimberly doesn't sew at all because, without necessity, nostalgia rarely makes it to the second generation.

Overview

Drawing together many histories-of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores-Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction-from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen’s Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton’s Nadja-finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in


our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world.

in sentencing. We modify and affirm.
On August 19, 1983, at approximately 4 a.m., Darryl Gaston, a clerk at a Chicago Heights White Hen Pantry store, was robbed at gunpoint and shot three times. Gaston died as a result of his injuries. Two witnesses arrived at the store shortly after the shooting. The witnesses saw a man run around the side of the building as they parked their car. After they parked, they observed another man jump over the service counter and run from the store carrying a paper bag and a gun. Both witnesses viewed photographs, but were unable to positively identify the offenders. The witnesses tentatively identified one person, who was arrested, but later released when further investigation led the police to Powers and Williams.
At trial, OfficerTed Nagorski, an evidence technician, testified that when he arrived at the crime scene, he observed cigarette packages in disarray on the floor and counter. He further testified that he recovered latent fingerprints from the counter area, cash register, a plastic counter sign and a broom handle. Nagorski also recovered a shoe impression from the top of the counter.
The victim was found lying facedown in a pool of blood on the floor behind the service counter. Dr. Barry Lifschultz, a forensic pathologist employed by the Cook County medical examiner's office, testified that his autopsy of the victim revealed gunshot wounds to the left chest, left abdomen and right back of the head. Dr. Lifschultz opined that the gunshot wounds caused Gaston's death. The three bullets removed from the


victim's body during the autopsy were later determined to have been fired from a .22 caliber weapon.
Detective Brian Smith testified that on August 21, 1983, the owner of a Chicago Heights store gave him two checkbooks and a social security card bearing the name of Darryl Gaston which he found in the alley behind his store. He further testified that on August 25, he received information that a phone call made to the We Tip Witness Anonymous Hotline named Lavelle Williams and Michael Mitchell as possible suspects in the White Hen Pantry murder because they were overheard discussing the crime. Smith interviewed Lavelle and learned that *857 Mitchell Powers told him that he had committed the crime. Following the interview, Smith told youth officer Gary Miller that MitchellPowers was a possible suspect in the White Hen Pantry murder.
At the pretrial hearing on defendant Powers' motion to quash arrest and suppress statements, the following evidence was adduced. On August 26, 1983, at approximately 7:20 p.m., Chicago Heights police officers Fiaoni and Crescenti responded to a call of a disturbance at 447 West Hickory Street. When they arrived, they learned from Boris Princeton that he had been beaten by four youths. Princeton led the police to the offenders and identified them. The officers arrested Darryl Williams, defendant Powers, his brother Michael Powers and Ramon Cardenas for the battery of Princeton.
Youth officer Gary Miller testified that he was contacted at home and informed that defendant Powers, a juvenile, had been brought into the station. Miller arrived at the


station at approximately 8 p.m. At approximately 10 p.m., Miller contacted Detective Smith at home and informed him that defendant Powers had been taken into custody for battery. Smith arrived at the station at 10:30 p.m. and talked to Darryl Williams at approximately 11 p.m. Darryl Williams informed Smith that defendant Powers told him that he shot the White Hen Pantry clerk and that his brother, defendant Dale Williams, was his accomplice. Smith also interviewed Ramon Cardenas, who told him that he gave defendant Powers a gun for use in the robbery and that both defendants later reenacted the murder while the three were at defendant Williams' home. Cardenas related that the defendants told him that they were going to rob a Dunkin Donuts, but decided on theWhite Hen Pantry when they saw a security camera at the other location. Cardenas also told Smith a detailed account of the robbery and shooting which the defendants had related to him. Cardenas' account of the crime matched the evidence obtained from police investigation of the crime scene.
At approximately midnight, Smith interviewed defendant Powers, who orally admitted his participation in the robbery and murder of Gaston and named defendant Williams as his accomplice. Powers told Smith that he borrowed a .22 caliber revolver from Cardenas and gave Williams a hunting knife. He further stated that after they entered the White Hen Pantry, he grabbed the store clerk and took him to the rear of the store while Williams went behind the counter and attempted to open the cash
