– Overwhelming support for war –

Israeli public opinion has overwhelmingly supported the war. A poll carried out by The Israel Democracy Institute last month said 95 percent of Israeli Jews believed the offensive was just.

In a country with compulsory national conscription, almost everybody has a friend or relative in the army.

Hamas rocket attacks have tormented millions of Israelis, inflicting fear and panic in border communities, regardless of the fact that hundreds are shot down and just three civilians have been killed since July.

In Israel, as in most countries during time of war, the local media have been patriotic champions of the offensive, uniting behind their boys on the frontline, sending them presents, highlighting the suffering of Israeli citizens and downplaying suffering onyear in new tax revenues.

Republican state Rep. John Kriesel of Cottage Grove is cosponsoring a bill to authorize the casino. He said it will draw tourist dollars that will help fill city and the state coffers.

"I think this is the missing piece," Kriesel said. "This is. This is going to make Minneapolis a place where people in the five-state region want to come and see and be a part of."

Expanding gambling beyond tribal casinos is controversial. The Minnesota Indian Gaming Association recently held a protest at the Capitol to oppose proposals for racetrack gambling and slots at neighborhood bars. Association spokesman John McCarthy also opposes the Block E proposal.

country, one of those stores having been located in Randhurst until recently (R. St. ¶ 2).
Rouse and Penney were the ultimate parties to a lease of one of the three anchor tenancies in Randhurst  a lease that had originated long before either of them entered the picture (R. St. ¶ 7). On May 26, 1961 Rouse's unrelated predecessor in interest entered into a 30-year lease with Carson Pirie Scott & Company ("Carson") for a department store in Randhurst (R. St. ¶¶ 8, 10; P. St. ¶ 1). Two of the several later lease amendments bear on Rouse's current claim:
1. On June 25, 1981 (by the "1981 Amendment") the lease was extended for 10 years, creating a new termination date of June 30, 2001 (R. St. ¶¶ 12-13).That same amendment also granted the lessee renewal options for four consecutive periods of five years each following the termination of the lease.[3] In what has become the source from which the current controversy stems, the 1981 Amendment also added a covenant for continuous operation (referred to there and throughout this opinion as the "Operating Covenant") (R. St. ¶ 14) under which the lessee agreed to operate continuously, or to cause to be operated continuously, a department store on the premises until June 30, 1996 (five years before the then termination date of the lease) (R. St. ¶ 15).
2. On September 1, 1989 (by the "1989 Amendment") Rouse (which had succeeded to Randhurst's ownership in 1988) and a Carson affiliate (then the lessee) extended the term of the


Operating Covenant for an additional nine years  until June 30, 2005 (R. St. ¶ 19).[4] As a consequence, the Operating Covenant extended for four years beyond the *826 original expiration date of the lease itself, although the lessee's options for extensions stretched far beyond the June 30, 2005 date.
On May 15, 1990 Carson assigned its rights and obligations under the lease (including the 1989 Amendment) to Penney, and Penney agreed to assume all of those rights and obligations (R. St. ¶ 22). At some point after it began its Randhurst operations, Penney found the location was unprofitable, and in 1995 it first notified Rouse that it intended to cease its operations in Randhurst at the end of the original lease term (P. St. ¶¶ 24, 26). InAugust 2000 Penney again expressed an intention to cease operations at the June 30, 2001 end of the original lease term (P. St. ¶ 27).
As stated earlier, on January 29, 2001 Rouse initiated a declaratory judgment action in the Circuit Court of Cook County to seek enforcement of the Operating Covenant, and Penney timely removed the case to this District Court. Although this Court sought to obtain an amicable resolution of the dispute, those efforts proved unsuccessful. Penney ceased retail operations in Randhurst on May 31, 2001, and it stopped paying rent on June 30, 2001 (P. St. ¶ 29).

Procedural Posture
As a preliminary matter, Penney has argued that it is procedurally improper for Rouse to move for summary judgment as to liability at this juncture. Without citing any


by continuing as a hold over tenant. Penney retorts at its Mem. 7 that it views the Operating Covenant as unenforceable because it assertedly conflicts irreconcilably with the lease term  and that response rests on the premise that Penney could not have simultaneously vacated Randhurst on June 30, 2001 (the expiration of the original lease term) and still continued to operate its store until June 30, 2005 (the end of the Operating Covenant Period). Penney's suggested "solution" (at its Mem. 8) is that this Court should "reconcile" the provisions by rewriting the operating covenant so that it too would expire on June 30, 2001. Penney's arguments are simply untenable.
Under Illinois law (which controls pursuant to the lease's Art. XXX, § 3) contracts are enforced according to theirterms simply do not conflict. Penney's assertions to the contrary, there is nothing inherently irreconcilable about the lease term and the term of the Operating Covenant. Nothing in the lease provisions precluded Penney from fulfilling the duties that it specifically assumed under the Operating Covenant, either by exercising its first option to extend the term of the lease or by remaining in possession of the premises as a holdover tenant. When Penney assumed all of the lessee's obligations under the lease in 1990, it knew full well that the original lease term ended on June 30, 2001 while the Operating Covenant ended on June 30, 2005.[6] At no time were the dates in those two provisions linked either expressly or impliedly.[7] There is simply *828 no support for


the difference between a successful center and a marginal or even failing center, make the prospect of an anchor tenant "going dark"  ceasing to operate  a calamity. It is no accident that the very article of the lease that inserted the Operating Covenant  Article XXXIII in the 1981 Amendment, carried forward into the 1989 Amendment  contained a Section 5 that specified in part that if the other two department stores were to discontinue their continuous operation for 18 consecutive months, the lessee under the 1989 Amendment (originally Carson and later Penney) would be released from its own Operating Covenant.
To return to the point of beginning  the impermissible notion of judicial rewriting of the lease  Penney's success in advancing such a notion couldWhile most of Michigan and the country were out celebrating on New Year's Eve, a northern Michigan man was lying in the snow — paralyzed after he slipped and fell. But his faithful dog saved his life, Fox 2 Detroit reported.

The man, known only as Bob, was watching football on New Year's Eve and waiting to watch the ball drop. When his game went to commercial, he ran out to get some wood for his fire.

He was wearing only long johns, slippers, and a shirt for the 15-foot walk. Suddenly, he slipped and fell, breaking his neck.

He doesn't have any close neighbors, so when he was yelling for help, the only help he got was his best friend — Kelsey, his golden retriever.

"I was screaming for help, but


my nearest neighbor is about a quarter mile away and it was 10:30 p.m., but my Kelsey came," Bob told McLaren Hospital. "By morning, my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help, but Kelsey didn't stop barking."

Temperatures dropped to 24 degrees that night, and there was Bob, lying in the snow with Kelsey by his side.

He said she kept him warm by lying on top of him. She also licked his face and hands to keep him awake.

"She kept barking for help but never left my side," Bob said. "She kept me warm and alert. I knew I had to persevere through this and that it was my choice to stay alive."

At hour 19, Bob lost consciousness. Kelsey kept barking and finally, a neighbor heard her.

"Shewas letting out this screeching howl that alerted my neighbor," Bob said. "He found me at 6:30 p.m. on New Year's Day."

According to McLaren Northern Hospital, who told Bob's story, he was hypothermic, with a core body temperature under 70 degrees Fahrenheit, in atrial fibrillation, and had a C4-C5 disc herniation.

The disc herniation was in his neck and was compressing the spinal cord, causing weakness or paralysis in his legs.

The emergency department worked to stabilize him and get him to start healing. Bob said it was Kelsey who saved his life that day.

"I was surprised to find out that I didn't have any frost bite," Bob said. "I am sure it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep me warm and safe."

The good news, he's already got use


of his extremities, according to Chaim Colen, MD, Neurosurgeon at McLaren Northern Michigan.

"I immediately took the patient back to the operating room for decompression of his spinal cord and stabilization. After the surgery, miraculously, he started to move his extremities with greater strength."

Since the surgery, Bob is motivated to heal and get back to his farm. He will need intense physical and occupational therapy to regain strength and function - but he is on the road to recovery, all thanks to his heroes.

"Kelsey kept me warm, alert, and never stopped barking for help. Dr. Colen saved my life and ability to move. They are truly heroes and I will be eternally grateful."

Briefly summarized, the allegations of the complaint are as follows.11

1. Hancock

One morning in November, 1977, Hancock parked his car on the street in front of his home and proceeded to check the antifreeze.12   He left the car briefly to fetch a tool, then returned to find appellee Sonya Proctor, an officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, who approached him, requested his driver's license and vehicle registration, and announced that he would be cited for leaving the vehicle unattended with the motor running.13   As Proctor was handing the citation to Hancock through the car window she dropped it in the street, then demanded, in "a loud, angry voice,"14 that appellant retrieve it.  The ticket had by then blown away, and Hancock refused to chase


broached the subject of a release of civil claims.45   On the day set for trial, Haynesworth and his new counsel met Schwartz, Lyddane, and Mooney on their way to Miller's office for another conference on the case, and Schwartz stated that potential civil litigation was an obstacle to dismissal of the charge.46   At the conference, Miller, without any reference to waiver, reiterated his intention to press the disorderly conduct charge.47

11
The charge against Haynesworth, like those against Hancock, was ultimately dismissed, "but only after further demands to supervisory officials and the threat of a suit."48   Haynesworth alleges that the charge would have been dropped at the outset but for the tacit policy of retaliation that prevailed in the Corporation Counsel's office and thesuit.55   Gildon moved for partial judgment on the pleadings and the District Court, discerning no indication that Gildon had "participated in the complained of arrest or prosecution," dismissed her from the action.56

14
Miller, the District of Columbia, and former Police Chiefs Burtell Jefferson and Maurice Cullinane, in lieu of responsive pleadings, jointly filed a motion to dismiss.  Miller asserted that he and the District of Columbia, as his employer, were absolutely shielded from liability by the doctrine of prosecutorial immunity.57   The District contended additionally that it was not accountable on the theory of respondeat superior for the constitutional torts of its employees.58   Appellees Jefferson and Cullinane similarly disclaimed vicarious liability for the torts of their subordinates, and pointed out that the complaint


is entitled to proceed against Cullinane for his alleged failure adequately to train and supervise his subordinates.  Miller enjoys absolute immunity for his actions as the prosecutor in Haynesworth's case and for his conduct as policymaker in the Corporation Counsel's office.  Miller's alleged wrongdoing nevertheless provides a basis for proceeding against the District of Columbia since it appears that he may have possessed sufficient policymaking authority to act for the District in the establishment of prosecution policies.  The District Court's action is accordingly affirmed in part and reversed in part, and the case is remanded to that court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.

I desire to make a short statement as to my concurrence.  I commend Judge RobinsonPresident Donald Trump announced Wednesday he’s keeping a small U.S. force in northeastern Syria, even as he declaimed responsibility for fighting the so-called Islamic State there.

“Let someone else fight over this long bloodstained sand,” Trump said from the Oval Office, in what sounded like a victory speech over an outcome negotiated between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Ratifying the Turkish invasion that began Oct. 9 and has displaced what UNICEF estimates as 80,000 children, Trump announced he will permanently lift “all sanctions imposed” on Turkey. The decision ensures Erdoğan will face no consequences for its invasion of northeastern Syrian areas previously held by Kurdish forces fighting alongside the United States.

The U.S. military command, which has been taken by surprise by a wrenching month of


withdrawal decisions, did not immediately comment. But a U.S. official familiar with Syria planning, who was not authorized to speak to reporters, said that servicemembers will stay at bases near the Deir az-Zour oil fields, where they have been partnered with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. The other enduring U.S. base in the war-torn country, known as al-Tanf, is in the southeastern Syrian desert, far from the oil fields and pipelines that Trump claimed as the residual mission for the U.S. in Syria.

The official said the residual force is likely to be fewer than 400 U.S. troops, spread between Deir az-Zour and al-Tanf, down from the 1000 there at the beginning of the month. But U.S. planners are racing to keep up with a torrid pace of presidentialTurks would enjoy a reprieve from the sanctions the U.S. placed on Turkey post-invasion.

Trump claimed victory out of the five-day durability of the ceasefire, something that resulted from a deal reached Tuesday by Erdoğan and Putin for joint Turkish-Russian patrols in an area that effectively redraws the Turkish-Syrian border.

Yet Trump presented this fait accompli as “an outcome created by us, the United States, and no other nation.” He praised Erdoğan as “a man I have gotten to know very well” and referenced an invitation to the White House that he first extended to his Turkish counterpart days before the offensive began.

It was not the only unreality in Trump’s brief speech. He claimed all ISIS fighters had been recaptured, said the U.S. has been in Syria for “almost ten

The system of numeration employed throughout the greater part of the world today was probably developed in India, but because it was the Arabs who transmitted this system to the West the numerals it uses have come to be called Arabic.

After extending Islam throughout the Middle East, the Arabs began to assimilate the cultures of the peoples they had subdued. One of the great centers of learning was Baghdad, where Arab, Greek, Persian, Jewish, and other scholars pooled their cultural heritages and where in 771 an Indian scholar appeared, bringing with him a treatise on astronomy using the Indian numerical system.

Until that time


is not at all certain that the original shapes of the Arabic numerals also were Indian. In fact, it seems quite possible that the Arab scholars used their own numerals but manipulated them in the Indian way. The Indian way had the advantage of using much smaller clusters of symbols and greatly simplifying written computations. The modern forms of the individual numbers in both eastern Arabic and western Arabic, or European, appear to have evolved from letters of the Arabic alphabet.

The Semites and Greeks traditionally assigned numerical values to their letters and used them as numerals. This alphabetical system is still used by the Arabs, much as Roman numerals are used in the West for outlines and in enumerating kings, emperors, and popes.

When aqueous polymer dispersions are used for production of aqueous coating compositions such as emulsion paints and varnishes, it is often the case that properties achievable only by contrary measures are desirable. On the one hand, the polymer dispersions are to assure good film formation at low temperatures, even in the case of low proportions of filming auxiliaries, which typically entails a low glass transition temperature of the polymer. At the same time, a high hardness and scratch resistance of the dry film is required, which is typically assured only by means of comparatively

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) fired two short-range ballistic missiles early on Wednesday, the Republic of Korea (ROK) military said, only days after it launched two other missiles intended to pressure the ROK and the United States to stop upcoming military drills.

The latest launches were from the Hodo peninsula on the DPRK's east coast, the same area from where last week's were conducted, the ROK's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement. It said it was monitoring the situation in case of additional launches.

The JCS in Seoul said later both missiles were believed to have flown about 250 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 30 kilometers and that the ROK and U.S. militaries were trying to find more details of the launches.

"We will continue toclosely cooperate with the United States and others," added the prime minister.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Tokyo would continue to seek a summit with the DPRK "without conditions."

Suga said Japan is still investigating DPRK's missile launch, including its motives.

The Japanese Ministry of Defense said no ballistic missiles reached Japan's territory or its exclusive economic zone earlier today.

Meanwhile, observers said the launches were aimed at ramping up pressure on the United States to make concessions as the two countries are struggling to resume diplomacy on DPRK's nuclear weapons program.

Kim: It's a 'solemn warning'

The DPRK test-fired two new short-range ballistic missiles on July 25, its first missile tests since leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump met in late June and agreed to revive stalled denuclearization talks.

Since the June 30 meeting in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between the ROK and the DPRK, Pyongyang has accused Washington of breaking a promise by planning to hold joint military exercises with the ROK in August and warned that these could derail any dialogue. Kim had said the two missiles fired last week under his personal supervision were a "solemn warning" over the planned military drills between the twosides. The DPRK has also warned of a possible end to its freeze on nuclear and long-range missile tests in place since 2017, which Trump has repeatedly upheld as evidence of the success of his engagement with Kim.

Localization of atherosclerotic lesions in the curving sites of human internal carotid arteries.
We studied the distribution of the early atherosclerotic lesions in the curving sites of the human internal carotid arteries composed of the carotid siphon portion (part I) and carotid canal portion (part II). These early atherosclerotic lesions included a localized cloudy thickening with pallor, slight elevation, a non-fibrotic lesion and gray-white or yellowish-white, firm, elevated fibrous plaques. These lesions had the same pattern-distribution in each curving artery. Both were located in the distal regions from the middle of the inner curvature of parts I and II, where eddying fluid motions and directional change in the wall shear stress were considered to occur. In part I, there was a localized cloudy thickening in the younger subjects (averageventricle in all four species examined. This immunoreactivity was also observed in extra-ependymal areas: in the internal granular layer of the olfactory bulbs in Triturus carnifex and Rana esculenta; in the diencephalic nuclei of the habenula in Podarcis sicula, in both Amphibians and in Carassius carassius; in the mesencephalic tectum in Podarcis sicula and in the two Amphibians. As in our previous studies, the current immunocytochemical picture revealed by PCNA positivity generally agrees with literature reports on the presence of normal proliferation in the areas investigated here. These literature sources consist primarily of the observations of Kirsche (1967), emerging from his preceding experimental investigations, and of confirmatory data from studies in subsequent decades by other researchers obtained with tests different from our marker.

Sweet decided to board the animals at the veterinary clinic where Skylar worked for the first few weeks after the family lost their home, while she and Skylar bounced between hotels and family members' couches. Unfortunately, this was


neither financially nor emotionally sustainable. The animals were doing poorly in boarding and not eating as much as they normally would. Vici was showing aggression and scaring the workers whenever they would try to take care of him, while Isabella was very fearful. And of course, the stress of being away from her pets was taking its toll on Sweet as well.

So, in July, she took her animals back from boarding and the family began staying at a local campground. Sweet had to spend what little money she had left on a tent, but received donations of a hot plate, cooler and water jugs from friends and fellow campers.

Vici and Isabella, who were previouslyindoor cats, are now "tent cats." They have done well while living in the tent, and Sweet says she has even seen fellow campers with cats on leashes at the grounds for the duo to interact with. They always have plenty of stimulation from nature as well.

Meanwhile, Bentley and Ariel are faring well with the camping life. Bentley has really discovered a love of squirrels and birds, and likes to chase them every chance he gets. Sweet is respectful of the leash laws and rules that the campground enforces, but she is able to take them to an off-leash area nearby for them to run free. When Sweet needs to use the internet, she takes the pups to the


The invention is based on a brake valve as generally defined herein. A brake valve connected to a pressure supply apparatus and a return flow container and used for feeding brake pressures into a brake system is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,463,561. As its valve elements, this brake valve has two balls and two ball seats. The first ball is secured to a control rod and is normally spaced apart from its ball seat; the second ball is moved toward its ball seat by a closing spring, and when it is seated it is additionally pressed against the ball seat by the pressure of the pressure supply apparatus. To feed brake pressure into the brake system, the first ball is pressed against its ball seat, and theWhat to Know A New York City teen was arrested for threatening a shooting at his school, police say; he allegedly tried to buy guns repeatedly online

News of the arrest comes as the nation debates how to best protect the nation's students and educators

Second Amendment advocates want to arm teachers and fortify schools, while gun control supporters seek legislation addressing gun violence

A teen who threatened a shooting at his Bronx school was arrested after he repeatedly tried to purchase guns online, police said Thursday as officials unveiled new plans to keep kids safe in the city's hundreds of schools.

The 15-year-old faces a felony charge of making terroristic threats for a social media message be posted back on Dec. 12, according to police. In the post, he allegedly said


he was bullied and wanted to buy a gun and kill classmates.

The NYPD arrested him Wednesday night after the department’s Computer Crimes Unit was tipped off to the threat.

The teen tried multiple times to purchase a gun online and was in possession of a bulletproof vest, police said.

The NYPD didn't immediately say which school the teen was attending.

The arrest comes amid a renewed debate about how to keep students and educators across the country safe a week after a shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people.

In the wake of the shooting, students have joined gun control supporters and Second Amendment advocates in debating the best way to secure the nation's schools. Some students have planned marches and staged walkouts under the hashtag #NeverAgain.

President Trumpsaid Thursda that making schools safer would be a top priority for his administration. He said he wants to "harden" schools and floated the idea of arming teachers as a possible deterrent.

Several organizations representing teachers came out against that idea, including the New Jersey Education Association, which said in a statement that it is "adamantly opposed to the idea of arming educators." It said doing so would turn schools into "armed fortresses of fear."

The union United Federation of Teachers said in a statement: "Teachers should be marking papers, not being trained in marksmanship."

In a letter to parents Thursday, Carmen Fariña, the chancellor of New York City's Education Department, said her agency was working with the NYPD to keep students and staff safe. She said schools are taking part


at a gathering of conservatives Thursday, National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre said there must be "effective trained armed security that will absolutely protect every innocent child in this country."

LaPierre accused supporters of gun control of exploiting the mass shooting in Florida to promote an anti-gun agenda. He called out several tri-state Democrats, including de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as promoting a "terrifying" agenda of "absolute control in every corner of our government."

Meanwhile, the governors of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island announced Thursday they were forming a "States for Gun Safety" coalition to combat gun violence. The interstate initiative focuses on sharing law enforcement intel and working on gun safety legislation.Sonko, the governor of the Kenyan capital city, Nairobi, confirmed in a media briefing on Tuesday that his care packages include a few small bottles of the cognac, Hennessy.

The governor justified the inclusion of alcohol as “throat sanitizer.”

“I think from the research conducted by the World Health Organization and various organizations, it has been believed that alcohol plays a major role in killing the coronavirus,” Sonko said in a video.

But the World Health Organization has explicitly stated that alcohol does not protect against coronavirus, and advises people to minimize its consumption.

In a post released by the WHO on Tuesday, the organization said that alcohol can weaken the health of an individual and make them more vulnerable to viruses including coronavirus.

Githinji Gitahi, the CEO of Amref Health Africa, a


medical nonprofit, in a post on Twitter condemned Sonko’s claim and appealed to Kenyans to dump the alcohol.

This isn’t the first time Sonko has been met with public scrutiny. The governor was arrested late last year on corruption charges, and was forced to surrender some of his duties to the national government.

Meanwhile, Hennessy has refuted through local media the claims by the Nairobi governor that its drink in particular or alcohol in general can ward off coronavirus contagion.

Dickerson noted counties get sued after they detain people in ICE warrants. But she noted some of these people are U.S. citizens. In fact, in most of the lawsuits, it was a U.S. citizen being held, without actual probable cause on behalf of ICE to believe the person was subject to deportation, according to Justice officials.

Under former Homeland Secretary John Kelly, the federal government set new policies for ICE detainers. They included the establishment of probable cause to believe that the subject is an illegal alien, removable from the United States.

George H.W. Bush, the 41st U.S. president and father of the 43rd, has died at age 94

HOUSTON — George Herbert Walker Bush, the presidentwho managed the end of the Cold War and forged a global coalition to oust Iraqi forces from Kuwait, has died at age 94. In a political career that spanned three decades, he lost his bid for re-election and lived to see his son win the Oval Office.

The death of Bush — nicknamed "41" to distinguish himself from son George W. Bush, "43" — was announced in a statement released late Friday.

"Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died," his son, former President George W. Bush, said in a statement released by family spokesman Jim McGrath. "George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask


for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens."

Bush bristled at the term "dynasty," but his family defined the term. He was the son of a senator, Prescott Bush of Connecticut, and the father of Jeb Bush, the two-term governor of Florida, and George W. Bush, the two-term governor of Texas who went on to win two terms as president. Only the founding Adams family, John and John Quincy, can also claim both father and son as presidents.

The elder Bush entered the Oval Office with the longest political resume of any president in modern times: congressman. United Nations ambassador. Republican national chairman.U.S. liaison to China. Director of the CIA. When he lost the GOP presidential nomination in 1980 to Ronald Reagan, the former California governor and primary foe offered him the vice presidency, a role he filled for eight years before winning the top job himself in 1988 over Democrat Michael Dukakis.

But Bush's bid for a second term in 1992 was rebuffed by voters who weren't convinced he understood the economic anxieties in their lives, choosing Bill Clinton instead.

George Bush moved home to Houston, where he and wife Barbara became familiar figures at Astros games, local restaurants and fundraising galas for cancer research, literacy and other favored causes. He oversaw the building of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum on the grounds of Texas A&M, in College Station.


And he determinedly rejected efforts to analyze his role in history, declining even to write the sort of memoir that has become the lucrative last word for past presidents.

"I don't want anyone to pay attention to me," he said in an interview with USA TODAY in 1997, a few days after he parachuted out of an airplane, just to prove that, at age 73, he could. "I'm confident that historians from one perspective or another are going to write and say what they think and then there'll be a merge of a judgment of our administration."

He added with a smile: "I think history's going to be relatively kind."

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss agreed.

"Especially after his presidency, Bush came to be seen as a real human being and, instinctively, Americansfelt good about him," he said.

The coarsening of the American political debate and the fierce polarization of Washington in recent years has created among some a nostalgia for the Bush era. His presidential campaigns were hard-fought and sometimes negative, but it was still a time when bipartisanship wasn't seen as a distant memory. In recent years, the rise of Donald Trump tested Bush's lifelong allegiance to the Republican Party: In 2016, he cast his presidential ballot for Hillary Clinton.

Man in a hurry

Bush was born in Milton, Mass., on June 12, 1924, into a family of entitlement, energy and public service. His mother, Dorothy Walker Bush, was a particular force throughout his life. Barbara Bush once called her mother-in-law the most competitive person she had ever met, albeit one


who warned her brood against bragging about themselves.

On the day he turned 18 years old, Bush both graduated from Phillips Academy Andover and enlisted in the Navy, little more than six months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Less than a year later, when he was still 18, he received his wings and officer's commission, believed to be the Navy's youngest pilot.

For the next two years, with World War II at its peak, Bush flew torpedo bombers off the USS San Jacinto. On Sept. 2, 1944, his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire while he was on a bombing run in the Pacific. Bush bailed and was rescued by a submarine, but his two crewmembers were killed. Bush would later say he thought of them every day.

Afterthe war, Bush was a man in a hurry. He married Barbara Pierce in 1945 and graduated in 1948 with a degree in economics from Yale, where he was also captain of the baseball team. He and Bar and son Georgie, then a toddler, moved to the Oil Patch in Odessa, Texas, to seek his fortune. He started as a salesman of oil field equipment for a company owned by a friend of his father, then ultimately founded an oil company of his own.

They would have six children in all: George, Robin, Jeb, Neil, Marvin and Doro. Robin died at age 3 of leukemia, a loss that would reverberate through their lives. Decades later, her portrait was still hanging in a corner of her parents' living room. Barbara


Bush died at their Houston home on April 17 after a long battle with congestive heart failure. Her husband of 73 years, the longest presidential marriage in history, was holding her hand.

Bush had first gotten involved in politics as chairman of the Harris County Republican Party, in Houston. He lost his first political campaign, for a Senate seat in 1964, but he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1966. He was re-elected two years later and then lost a second campaign for the Senate in 1970.

President Richard Nixon appointed Bush ambassador to the United Nations and then drafted him to chair the Republican National Committee during the Watergate scandal, a mostly thankless task. After Nixon resigned from office, President Gerald Ford named Bush chief of theU.S. Liaison Office in China and then director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

In 1980, with some reluctance after a tough primary campaign, Ronald Reagan selected Bush to be his running mate. After eight years as vice president, he won the job he had long wanted.

Bush was not Reagan, especially when it came to public affection and communications skills. But his background in national security and his relationships with foreign leaders – forged during his tenure at the UN and the CIA and in China – prepared him for dealing with a world that was teetering on the precipice of dramatic change. A year after he was elected, on Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. Then the Soviet Union unraveled and its former satellites embraced democratic revolutions.

"He'll be


"I shall say a few more prayers, mainly for our kids in the Gulf, and I shall do what must be done," he wrote in a letter to his children on Dec. 30, 1990.

He assembled a 30-nation coalition to oust Iraq in what became Operation Desert Storm. After weeks of bombarding Iraqi forces by air, the allies moved in on the ground and, in days, liberated Kuwait.

Although he was criticized later for not removing Saddam from power, the war would be the pinnacle of Bush's authority and popularity. But that turned out to be a double-edged sword. During his re-election campaign, some voters saw Bush as a chief executive who focused on foreign policy at the expense of concerns at home.

Bush did champion important legislation on domestic policy, at times at odds with the conservative orthodoxy of his party. He signed the Americans With Disabilities Act,which paved new ground for providing access and job protections to people with handicaps, and a significant revision of the Clean Air Act.

Most memorable – and most damaging to him politically – was his decision to embrace a budget agreement in 1989 that included an increase in several existing taxes. That broke the signature promise he had made in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in 1988.

"Read my lips," he had said to cheers. "No new taxes."

'We've kept the faith'

Four years later, Bush couldn't quite believe he was going to be defeated by Bill Clinton, a Baby Boomer who had dodged the draft during Vietnam and who was being blistered by allegations of marital infidelity.

But Clinton made the economy his weapon. In fact, the nation's economy


was technically in a recovery, but it didn't feel that way to many Americans. Lingering questions over how much Bush as vice president knew about the Iran-Contra affair also dogged him, and the special counsel investigating the Reagan administration scandal indicted former Defense secretary Caspar Weinberger days before the election. The decision by an eccentric fellow Texan, H. Ross Perot, to wage an on-again, off-again independent campaign didn't help.

White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater and other aides also wondered if Bush's bouts with a thyroid disorder and irregular heartbeat undermined the zest he showed for campaigning four years earlier.

"We have fought the good fight," Bush told his supporters on Election Night, "and we've kept the faith."

Later, he would become close to the man who denied him a secondpresidential term. At the request of George W. Bush, his father and Clinton worked together to raise money for victims of an Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. Barbara Bush later said that Clinton grew to see her husband "as the father he never had."

After he left the White House, Bush often said that his main occupation was grandparenting. He and Barbara Bush had 17 of them, and seven great-grandchildren by the time they had died. Many in the Bush clan congregated every summer at Walker's Point, the family's seaside compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, for fishing, games of tennis and horseshoes and rides on the fast speedboats that Bush favored.

In a 2004 interview with USA TODAY, just before his 80th birthday, Bush cited a Thomas Jefferson quote: "There is


a fullness of time when men should go, and not occupy too long the ground to which others have a right to advance."

"It's exactly the way I feel about it," the former president said. "I had my chance."

Bush remained an athlete well into his 80s. He went skydiving again to mark his 80th, 85th and 90th birthdays. But his battle with vascular Parkinsonism robbed him of his ability to walk, and in recent years made it increasingly difficult for him to speak more than a few words at a time.

"Life goes on with all its mystery and wonder," he wrote in his diary on Sept. 2, 1988, 44 years after he had been shot down in combat, and two months before he would win the presidency. "I wantto live to do good things and partly to meet the challenges that lie ahead, but I don't fear death."

A further innovation, the "bubble heel", which added an inwards protrusion to the hollow plastic heel, created a far louder sound when clicking the heels together than was possible in traditional leather-heeled shoes. An Coimisiún later outlawed bubble heels in competition, but plastic heels continued to enable "click" movements. Dancing en pointe was popularised further by the introduction of shoes with modified, more flexible soles. The sound production qualities of shoes were further augmented by the radio microphones built into the toe for shows such as Riverdance.

At the end of the 20th century, a further development occurred in shoe design: the "flexi" sole, which removed the rigid "spine" from the base of the shoe, in an


a more balletic style in the slip jig which eventually led to this dance being performed exclusively by women.

In the latter half of the 20th century, the pumps changed to a low cut type with crossed laces similar to the Scottish ghillie. This modern type of shoe, however, differs from the traditional Scottish footwear with a shorter toe box and round laces. A number of variations on this type are available, including variants with softer leather and split soles. This change was motivated by a desire to highlight the position of feet to adjudicators, as the usual black colour of the pumps contrasted with the exposed white of the poodle socks.

driving force to overcome the mass transfer resistance between the aqueous solution and the solid phase, the increase in endocrine disruptors concentration could increase the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. However, since there is also a competition effect between the endocrine at the effective active sites, the removal effect of the hybrid microspheres deteriorated. The adsorption amount of the hybrid microspheres was lower than that in the unit system. This is due to the competitive relationship between BPA and SMX in the mixed system. By comparing the binary system and the unit system at the same concentration, the hybrid microspheres preferentially adsorbed BPA. The results are probably due to the higher negative charge of SMX than BPA, while some of the SMX adsorption sites were occupied by BPAof endocrine disruptors, while PSE acted as a skeleton support embedding modified bump. The increase in pH was beneficial for increasing the adsorption amount of hybrid microspheres to BPA and SMX in the mixed solution. The pH mainly affected the SMX adsorption but had little effect on the BPA adsorption. Hybrid microspheres had a stronger adsorption effect on anionic endocrine disruptors than cationic ones. The hybrid microsphere had a better affinity for the hydrophobic endocrine disruptor. When the initial concentration of endocrine disruptors increased, the amount of adsorption of the endocrine disruptors by the hybrid microspheres increased. Hybrid microspheres preferentially adsorbed BPA, since some of the SMX adsorption sites were occupied by BPA molecules.

While it ran strongly throughout the race, its gearbox failed with a mere fifty minutes remaining. These new rules were the death knell for the turbocharged Group C entrants and the beginning of the end of the 962's decade-long reign.

After its professional career came to a close, 962-159 was sold off to Bruce Canepa, former IMSA racer and renowned Porsche restorer. In the four years he owned it, Canepa subjected this car to an exacting restoration, which included a complete strip down to the bare tub and rebuilds of the engine, gearbox, brakes, and turbos. He installed new fuel, brake, and oil lines, and crack-tested all major load-bearing components. Without a doubt, it is ready for vintage racing.

The most LOL-worthy things the Internet has to offer. And we atwe affirm the trial court's earlier ruling that Bishop is not entitled to pursue punitive damages arising from this claim.
Manpower, a temporary employment service, provides supplemental staffing to a variety of companies, including Toyota Motor Manufacturing. In addition to its ordinary staffing services, Manpower places several hundred employees at the Georgetown Toyota plant with the expectation that the employees will become fulltime Toyota employees. Manpower also maintains an office at the Georgetown Toyota plant with two on-site supervisors, Barbara Aker and Trish Chasteen.
Bishop began working for Manpower at the Georgetown Toyota plant on November 19, 1999. While working on June 15, 2001, Bishop began experiencing pain in his chest. Pursuant to Toyota's policy, he was treated by medical personnel at the plant and then was taken to the


emergency room. The physician at the hospital ruled out a heart attack, but concluded that Bishop had strained several muscles in his chest. The physician placed Bishop on work restrictions for five days.
At a follow-up appointment on the morning of June 18, the physician released Bishop to return to work. Bishop reported to Manpower's office at the Toyota plant and told the supervisors that he had been released to work. However, he was not properly dressed for work at the time. According to Bishop, he told Aker and *74 Chasteen that he intended to run some errands, then return home to change clothes. But Bishop also recalls telling Aker that he was not sure if he would be able to return to work before the end of hisshift. Bishop states that Aker did not insist that he return to work that day. For her part, Aker states that she told Bishop to change clothes and immediately return to work the rest of his shift.
Bishop did not return to work that day, nor did he call to inform Manpower that he would not be returning. Rather, when Manpower called, Bishop asked his wife to return the phone call. After learning of his absence, Aker and Chasteen checked Bishop's employment records and noted a number of prior unexcused absences. Later that day, Chasteen called Bishop to inform him that he was being terminated for excessive absenteeism.
Thereafter, Bishop filed this action against Manpower, alleging that he was wrongfully terminated for disability and for pursuing a workers' compensation claim,


Handley, *77 827 S.W.2d at 701; Zarebidaki, 867 S.W.2d at 187-88.
In this case, Manpower has presented a facially valid reason for its employment decision: Bishop's prior unexcused absences and his failure to report for the rest of his shift on June 18, 2001. Bishop admits to these absences, but notes that they involved four court appearances and two sick days. In his deposition, Bishop states that his supervisors promised to work with him concerning those absences. Furthermore, Bishop never received any criticism of his work performance or warnings about his absences.
Bishop adds that Manpower's attitude toward him changed perceptibly while he was off work following his chest pains on June 15. According to Bishop, he spoke with Aker about workers' compensation covering his prescription medication. Bishop states thatAker answered that it would not be covered because the condition was not work related. Bishop asserts that Aker became hostile toward him after he made these inquiries about workers' compensation coverage.
In response, Aker stated that neither she nor her office had authority over workers' compensation issues. However, in several entries by Aker in Manpower's records, she labeled Bishop's claim to be "suspicious." Furthermore, Chasteen, the person who made the decision to fire Bishop, admitted that she did not check Bishop's absentee record until after Bishop began pursuing workers' compensation benefits.
While the evidence in favor of Bishop's claim is by no means overwhelming, we find that it is sufficient to overcome the threshold for summary judgment. Although Bishop had accrued more than the allowed number of unexcused absences,


a team of art handlers helps arrange the center's first major exhibit. A pair of oversized ceramic heads, giant clay dumplings, and at least one brightly colored painting. They're all the work of noted Japanese artist Jun Kaneko.
The old center could not have presented this show. For starters, Kaneko's work is huge. It simply wouldn't fit. Then there are issues like climate control, now available with the new center.

B.J. Shigaki has been the director of the Rochester Art Center for more than 30 years. Shigaki was recently honored with the prestigious Sally Ordway Irvine Award for her initiative and tenacity in getting the new center built.

Shigaki sits in a conference room in the tidy rectangular building that's housed her organization since the mid-1950s. It's just one-fourth the sizeworks from around the region. And Shigaki hopes the center will at least temporarily house a series of traveling exhibitions.

"In 1946, the founders of this organization -- in part of their mission statement -- said they hoped the art center would develop in a way that meets the scientific reputation of this community," Shigaki reflects. "In 1946, they always had high aspirations for this center. And now finally coming to this new building, I think finally we'll meet that goal."

The center is expected to draw visitors from three surrounding states.


Tracking system promises faster help for avalanche victims

Researchers and mountain rescue workers discuss the requirements to be met by a new, automatic positioning system for avalanche victims

December 6, 2007 A new positioning system which will use Galileo, the future European global positioning satellite system, may prove to be a life saver for avalanche victims. Avalanches kill hundreds of people worldwide every year. In the United States annual avalanche deaths have averaged 25 for the last ten years, with 20 deaths occurring in the 2006-2007 season.

As daredevils venture further into the wild backcountry they are unwittingly endangering their lives. Going off-piste can sometimes prove fatal. Avalanche victims usually die from the trauma caused by colliding with trees or rocks or by suffocation.

KYODO NEWS - Jul 8, 2019 - 14:30 | All, Japan

A major department store in Osaka on Monday started selling whale meat from the catch of Japan's commercial whaling fleet, which resumed its activities last week after a 31-year hiatus.

The Hankyu Department Store chain's flagship outlet, which had previously sold by-product whale meat from the country's so-called research whaling, stocked around 30 kilograms of red meat from minke whales caught off the coast of Kushiro in Hokkaido last Thursday.

"I want to show the younger generation, who aren't familiar with whale meat, how delicious it is," said a member of staff at the store, located in the western city's Umeda district.

Shelves were lined with sashimi sold at 599 yen ($5.53) per 100 grams, together with deep-fried options cooked in-store.A limited amount of free samples was also available.

"The meat is sweet without any smell. The taste brings back memories of school meals," said Shinichi Yasutomi, a 58-year-old company employee in Osaka who tried the meat.

As a member of the International Whaling Commission, Japan halted commercial whaling in 1988 but hunted whales for what it called research purposes, a practice criticized internationally as a cover for commercial whaling.

Japan had long sought to lift the moratorium and finally left the IWC on June 30 after the organization last September voted down its proposal to resume commercial whaling of species considered abundant, such as minke whales.

Washington (CNN) The US military dropped America's most powerful non-nuclear bomb on ISIS targets in Afghanistan Thursday, the first time this type of weapon has been used in battle, according to US officials.

A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), nicknamed the "mother of all bombs," was dropped at 7:32 p.m. local time, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission. A MOAB is a 30-foot-long, 21,600-pound, GPS-guided munition.

President Donald Trump called it "another successful job" later Thursday.

The bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, stationed in Afghanistan and operated by Air Force Special Operations Command, Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump told CNN.

Officials said the target was an ISIS cave and tunnel complex and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province, a remotearea in the country's east which borders Pakistan.]

"The United States takes the fight against ISIS very seriously and in order to defeat the group we must deny them operational space, which we did," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said later Thursday. The strike "targeted a system of tunnels and cave that ISIS fighters use to move around freely."

Afghanistan's ambassador to the US, Hamdullah Mohib, told CNN's Brooke Baldwin that the bomb was dropped after fighting had intensified over the last week between US Special Forces and Afghan troops against ISIS.

The US and Afghan forces were unable to advance because ISIS had mined the area with explosives, so the bomb was dropped to clear the tunnels, Mohib said.

Trump declined to say whether he personally signed off on the


independently on several battlefields where US forces are involved, which Trump touted as making a "tremendous difference" in the fight against ISIS.

During the campaign, Trump vowed to eradicate ISIS, saying he would "bomb the s**t" out of the terror group, also known as ISIL.

Republican hawks were quick to voice their support for the strike Thursday.

"I hope America's adversaries are watching & now understand there's a new sheriff in town," tweeted Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican. "Pleased Air Force dropped MOAB against ISIL in Afghanistan. Must be more aggressive against ISIL everywhere - including Afghanistan."

But California Democrat Rep. Jackie Speier voiced concerns about potentially increasingaccording to the US officials. This munition was developed during the Iraq war and is an air blast-type warhead that explodes before hitting the ground in order to project a a massive blast to all sides.

During the final stages of testing in 2003, military officials told CNN that the MOAB was mainly conceived as a weapon employed for "psychological operations." Military officials said they hoped the MOAB would create such a huge blast that it would rattle Iraqi troops and pressure them into surrendering or not even fighting.

As originally conceived, the MOAB was to be used against large formations of troops and equipment or hardened above-ground bunkers. The target set has also been expanded to include targets buried under softer surfaces, like caves or tunnels.

The US counterterrorism mission is separate from the NATO-led effort to train, advise and assist the Afghan army and police force.

While ISIS is identified primarily with its presence in Iraq and Syria, US and coalition officials have long expressed concern about a growing presence in Afghanistan.

ISIS first emerged in the summer of 2015 in the country's east, fast gaining ground and support, often among disaffected Taliban or Afghan youth.

US military officials have said the ISIS branch is largely comprised of former members of regional terror groups, including the Pakistani Taliban and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

A US official told CNN that the military estimates are that the Afghan affiliate of ISIS has about 600 to 800 fighters, primarily based in two to three districts in southern Nangarhar.contributor to the Daily Caller and the Blaze, and his work is frequently featured on Drudge Report.

She worked for the appellant through 1959 and 1960. In her work as a prostitute she obtained considerable sums of money and gave the same to the appellant.
 Before January 1961 Miss Robertson went to the appellant's house to stay, where she continued to obtain money for the appellant from her work as a prostitute. On January 1, 1961, Miss Robertson told appellant that she wanted to leave and an argument ensued with reference to another girlin whom appellant was apparently then interested. Miss Robertson asked for the key to the back of the car so that she could secure some of her things and clothes from the car. Appellant apparently did not see fit to give Miss Robertson the key as she desired and she started through a doorway and he immediately commenced to throw certain things at her. She called the police. He had a stick and beat her upon the head with it. He also hit her in the mouth with his fist. She ran downstairs and was followed by the appellant. At the bottom of the stairs Miss Robertson fell down. She told the appellant that if he hit her again she was going to have him put in jail.

Avraham Eliyahu Mokotow (22 March 1912 – 7 February 1976), better known as Eliyahu Kitov, was a Haredi rabbi, educator, and community activist.

Biography
His younger years were spent in the town of Opole Lubelskie, where he learned in a cheder and a beis midrash. Most of his education was from his father, R. Michel, who was a Chassid, a close student of Rabbi Zadok HaCohen of Lublin, and had a great influence in forming his personality.

At the age of 17, he left Opole Lubelskie and moved back to Warsaw. There he studied in a beis midrash, worked at backbreaking jobs, while also doing public work for Agudath Israel of Poland. In his capacity as an educator, he gave lectures in Talmud, Tanakh and Jewish thought. At that time,

Sydney, Australia: Australian selectors Tuesday dumped Aaron Finch as captain in favour of Steve Smith for the World Twenty20 which begins next month in India, while Peter Nevill replaces Matthew Wade as wicketkeeper.

Finch has been skipper since October 2014 but with Smith already captain of both the Test and one-day teams, national selector Rod Marsh said it was the right time for him to now take over in the shorter format.

"Aaron Finch has done a very good job captaining Australia in T20 cricket. He will have benefited enormously from the leadership opportunity and will remain a highly-respected leader within the Australian squad," said Marsh.

"However since he became T20 captain, there has been a broader leadership transition in


Test and one-day international cricket with Michael Clarke retiring and Steve Smith assuming the captaincy in Test and one-day cricket.

"We think now is the right time for Steve to lead Australia in all three forms of the game as it offers us important continuity, not only ahead of the World T20, but beyond that tournament as well."

The World T20 gets underway on 8 March with Australia, who have never won the tournament, opening their campaign on 18 March against New Zealand in Dharamsala.

Smith said he was looking forward to the new challenge.

"It's a fast-paced game, you have to really think on your feet, be ahead of the game," he said of captaining a T20 team.

The remains of a mother and daughter were recovered from a house that was consumed by fire yesterday in Londonderry, N.H., fire officials said.

Four other occupants, whose names were withheld, escaped with minor injuries, officials said.
