have indicated that changes to the chemical makeup of groundwater may occur prior to earthquakes. However, researchers still needed to accumulate evidence to link the occurrence of earthquakes to such chemical changes before establishing a strong correlation between the two.

A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo and their collaborators found that when stress exerted on the earth's crust was high, the levels of a helium isotope, helium-4, released in the groundwater was also high at sites near the epicenter of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, a magnitude 7.3 quake in southwestern Japan, which caused 50 fatalities and serious damage.

The team used a submersible pump in deep wells to obtain groundwater samples at depths of 280 to 1,300 meters from seven locations in the fault zones surrounding therestriction of ankle amplitude imposed by wearing skates was found to significantly limit the knee joint amplitude while the hip angular motion was not affected. Neither the skates' mass nor the limited ankle angular motion modified the proximo-distal organization of joint co-ordination observed when jumping barefoot. However, with plantar flexion restriction, the delay between hip and knee extensions increased while it was reduced between knee and ankle extensions. Work output at the knee and ankle joints were significantly lowered when wearing skates. The decrease of work at the knee was shown to result from an early flexing moment causing a premature deceleration of the knee and from a reduction of knee amplitude. Taken together, these results show a minimization of the participation of the knee when plantar flexion

his mule, dashed down the steep road at the
banditti.  In the very act he looked back, and, in a voice that caused
the echoes of the gorge to ring, shouted in Spanish--

"Come on, comrades! here they are at last! close up!"

A yell of the most fiendish excitement and surprise from Quashy--who was
only just coming into view--assisted the deception.  If anything was
wanting to complete the effect, it was the galvanic upheaval of
Lawrence's long arms and the tremendous flourish of his longer legs, as
he vaulted over his mule's head, left it scornfully behind, uttered a
roar worthy of an African lion, and rushed forward on foot.  He grasped
his great cudgel, for sword and pistol had been utterly forgotten!

Like a human avalanche they descended on the foe.  That foeextending his strong
right hand.

A glance of surprise told that he was understood.  The bandit let go the
hold of one of his hands and made a convulsive grasp at his rescuer.
Their fingers touched, but at the same moment the branch gave way, and,
with a cry of wild despair, the wretched man went headlong down.

Not, however, to destruction.  The effort he had made threw him slightly
to one side of the line which his horse had taken in its fall.  The
difference was very slight indeed, yet it sufficed to send him towards
another bush lower down the cliff.  Still, the height he had to fall
would have ensured the breaking of all his bones if the bush had not
hurled him off with a violent rebound.

Lawrence almost felt giddy with


plank and gone to sleep, while Lawrence and Manuela, having nothing
better to do, taught each other Spanish and English respectively!  And,
strange though it may appear, it is a fact that Manuela, with all her
quick-witted intelligence, was wonderfully slow at learning English.  To
Lawrence's intense astonishment and, it must be confessed, to his no
small disappointment, the Indian maiden not only made the same blunders
over and over again, and seemed to be incapable of making progress, but
even laughed at her own stupidity.  This somewhat cooled his admiration
of her character, which coolness afforded him satisfaction rather than
the reverse, as going far to prove that he was not really, (as how could
he be?) _in love_ with the brown-skinned, uneducated, half-savage girl,
but only much impressed with her amiable qualities.  Poorhouse we's a-comin' to, massa," said Quashy, not hearing,
or ignoring, the last remark.

Lawrence looked up with a start.  Unwittingly, quite unwittingly, he had
rambled in the direction of the villa with the rustic porch!

"An' dere's de missis ob de villa, I suppose," said Quashy.  "No, she's
on'y a redskin.  Why, massa!" he continued, opening his eyes to their
widest, "it's Manuela--or her ghost!"

It was indeed our little Indian heroine, walking alone in the shrubbery.
She had not observed her late companions, who were partly concealed by
bushes.

"Quashy," said Lawrence, impressively, laying his hand on the <DW64>'s
shoulder, "get out of the way.  I want to speak to her alone,--to say
good-bye, you know, for we start early to-morrow."

The <DW64> promptly threw himself on the ground and nodded his head.

"You go ahead,


together on the knoll, and pointing eagerly
towards the horizon.

"Das funny, massa," remarked the <DW64>.

"It is indeed.  Perhaps they see some of their friends coming."

"Or inimies," suggested Quashy.

The latter was right.  In a few minutes the Indians were seen to run
down to the defences of the place.  Our unfortunates lost sight of them
in a few seconds, but they could hear the sound of horsemen approaching
at full gallop.  In a few minutes they heard shouting; then the yells,
fearful cries, and imprecations of men in mortal combat.  Soon after
that a savage passed the place where they lay, at full speed.  Then
another and another.  It became quickly evident that the defenders of
the place were getting the worst of it.  At last there was afree, but have done the same good
turn to the villagers, who have been persuaded to join us against you.
And now, as our numbers are pretty equal, we give you the option of
going away quietly wherever you please, or, if you prefer it, having a
fair fight.  I may add that if I were backed by my troops, instead of
these villagers, I would not give you this option; but as I have no
official right to command these men, I now make you the proposal either
to retire quietly or fight."

"Aw--just so," said the sporting Englishman.  "And let me add, as a sort
of--aw--freelance that I and my friend here hope sincerely that you will
choose to fight."

"You's a brick!" exclaimed Quashy, with emphasis, regarding the
sportsman for the first time with favour.

Cruz


and companions held such interchangeable opinions on the
point that they could not readily have expressed them if called on to do
so at a moment's notice.

A runaway tendency in a horse is considered by most people a
disadvantage.  Yet there are some people whose nerves and spirits are so
constituted that they have a sneaking fondness for a horse of this
disposition.

Strange though it may seem, Manuela belonged to this class.  It is said
that men whose characters form a contrast are more likely to draw
towards each other than those whose characters are similar.  May the
same principle not operate between man and the lower animals?  Was it
not the gentleness, tenderness, womanliness, softness of Manuela which
caused her to dote upon and delight in her steed, though it was a huge,
highhumble state of mind.  There it found
several young friends who had just been subdued in a similar manner, and
it is not altogether improbable that they spent the remainder of that
evening in comparing notes!

"A roughish method, but--aw--effective," remarked the sportsman to his
friend.

This was true.  Perhaps Quashy's remark to Lawrence was equally true:--

"Dat dood it pritty slick, massa; but I've seed it as well dood, p'r'aps
better, by kindness."

There is this, at all events, to be said in regard to the rough system,
that no man but an athlete could endure the fatigue of the process,
while any man--or even woman--has physical strength sufficient to
conquer by love, if only he, or she, possess the requisite patience and
milk of human kindness.

As the town referred to lay at a comparatively short distance from the
other, Lawrence was much surprised by this reply, but his surprise was
still further increased when he found that the handsome Gaucho had never
seen any of the towns in regard to which his sense of justice had been
so strongly stirred!

"Where were you born, Pizarro?" he asked.

"In the hut where you found me, senhor."

"And you have never been to Mendoza or San Juan?"

"No, senhor, I have never seen a town or a village--never gone beyond
the plains where we now ride."

"How old are you, Pizarro?"

"I do not know, senhor."

As the youth said this with a slightly confused look, Lawrence forbore
to put any more personal questions, and confined his conversation to
general topics; but he could nottowards

By Sportsmail Reporter

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admits he is unlikely to dip into the transfer market to keep his side in the race for the Barclays Premier League title.

Third-placed Spurs have lost just once in the league since the end of August, but they passed up a chance to move within four points of the summit, and take advantage of Manchester United's home defeat against Blackburn, after conceding a late equaliser in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Swansea.

Taking the lead: Van der Vaart's opener was cancelled out

Rafael van der Vaart had given the Londoners the lead in the 44th minute but Brad Friedel's failure to hold Angel Rangel's deflected cross allowed Scott Sinclair to level with six minutes to go.

But Redknapp says


to fail to hang on to the three points at the Liberty Stadium, he remains bullish over their title hopes, particularly after seeing Manchester United and Chelsea suffer damaging home defeats.

'There is a long way to go, it just shows how difficult it is to win football matches,' he said.

'Who would have thought that Blackburn would win at United or Villa would win at Chelsea, no-one could have seen that.

Congress leader P. Chidambaram was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Delhi court on Wednesday. Last week, he had been sent to Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody till October 30. On Wednesday, the agency had sought his custody for one more day. Chidambaram will now return to Tihar jail in Delhi. He was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation on August 21 this year, in connection with the INX Media case.

WATCH | P. Chidambaram sent to 14-day judicial custody, will go back to Tihar jailgoing up the elevator, before it lost power and got stuck.

"I know he was trying to get out of the elevator shaft because it was his son's birthday," Kevin Welch, Simpson's brother-in-law, said. "Nothing in this world could make him miss being there with his son."

With other workers gone for the day, he tried to pry the doors open. Unexpectedly, the elevator began to move and caught Simpson between the floor and the top portion of the doorway, according to police.

Mack said his worried family went by the building looking for him Saturday night. His phone showed that he was there, but they couldn't find him, she said. They called his phone a bunch of times, but nobody answered. Nobody was inside the building to ask either.

They tried


to file a missing persons report, but because they had no information to go on, police advised them to come back.

"He knows it was his son's birthday and he knows my birthday is in September," Mack said. "He wanted to do something for me for my birthday so he's working to get this extra money and now he's gone."

A co-worker came back to the building site Sunday morning and found Simpson dead.

The family woke up to the news that somebody died there and immediately knew who it was.

Mack couldn't help but to break down after having to tell her son Shane why his dad wasn't able to make it home on his 9th birthday.

Simpson leaves behind his wife, five children and several siblings.

Arca - Mutant

Mute

Speaking of her time spent collaborating with Alejandro Ghersi (Arca) on her most recent album, Björk said "He knew my songs better than me... He was like a library of my music." That Arca has this kind of encyclopaedic musical capability will not surprise anyone who has heard his own music, wherein he slams together genres, palettes and instruments into something unique. He has claimed that his second album, Mutant, is "a lot more social" than his debut, but upon listening to it "social" isn't the word I'd use, I'd say "outspoken," as it is an album that demands attention. Arca has


taken his exhaustive knowledge of the back catalogues of his heroes like Aphex Twin, Nine Inch Nails and Björk, cut them into fragments and redistributed them on his own spectrum to create something truly engulfing and unrestrained.

The first sounds on Mutant are not particularly welcoming; frenetic synths welcome you into Arca's world as a shuttle blasting through its fiery atmosphere at high velocity, whilst being bathed in the most golden light you've ever seen. Landing on an alien planet might seem like a trite metaphor, but with Arca it's hard not to see a whole dense reality within the sounds. He makes no attempt to make you feel comfortable. After the crash-landing introduction of "Alive" comes the album's 7-minute title track; a mission statement of bone-shaking proportions. Thesecond later, ambushing your senses as you were distracted by the piano keys raining from the sky. Elsewhere on "Sever" you'll meet a cute little amphibian-like creature, characterised by Arca's triumphant dulcimer stabs, who leads you unsuspectingly into a dark corner where black boulders fall from an imperceptible height. In "Umbilical" you find you've stumbled into the middle of a ritual of some indigenous tribe, who seem to be calling to life their ancestors who are hovering in the sky above you amidst distant explosions and bursts of strange light. "Hymn" then brings them into startling focus, freezing you in place with ice-cold synth drawls, before they suddenly vanish and you find yourself alone in a wide expanse. Sometimes he'll place you into a star system that seems

It's the same thing that happens in a cage match, when the babyface has a chance to escape butand was in line to get into the building.

Sure enough, once we got in, the entire upper deck was tarped off, plus there was a smattering of empty seats, especially on the hard camera side. Not exactly "hanging from the rafters" as Monsoon used to say.

As for the show itself, the crowd was fairly lively except for the throwaway matches, the Divas match, and Cody/Christian.

One of New Zealand's early wineries, Landmark Estate was founded
in 1937 by Steve Vitasovich, an immigrant from Croatia,
who arrived in Auckland late in the 1920s.

On his arrival in New Zealand, Steve headed to the far north
of the North Island.
There he worked hard in the gumfields for about 10 years,
he then returned to Auckland and purchased land in Henderson
to realise his dream and passion for the art of winemaking.

Today the winery is managed by Steves'family and surrounded by
suburban homes.
Fortunately, the local authority have the foresight to preserve
the heritage and beauty of the local vineyards.

Tucked away in the gentle foothills of the
dramatic Waitakere Ranges is the family owned
winery with a big reputation.
Today, the sign of success of this establishment emerges with
the restructuring of the winery in 1996.

Generally described, computing devices and communication networks facilitate network-based commerce. For example, a user may employ his or her computing device to access a network-based service for the purchase of items and services (collectively and individually referred to as “items”) such as music, books, and electronics, just to name a few.
To improve the selection of items offered and provide lower prices for items, network-based services may offer products from a variety of sources. In one example, the network-based service may provide items directly for sale. In another example, the network-based service may provide items indirectly for sale, listing an item for sale that is provided by another source. In this manner, the product offerings of the network-based service may be augmented by those of the other sources.

Six states have adopted ag-gag laws since 1990. Three of those came in 2012 when Iowa, Utah and Missouri adopted them.

North Dakota, Montana and Kansas were first to adopt such provisions into law back in 1990-91.

Several animal activist groups routinely work with undercover operatives who go about the country obtaining employment at animal agriculture facilities and then secretly recording mistreatment of animals. Groups like the Humane Society of the United States( HSUS), Mercy for Animals, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) say ag-gag bills suppress their whistleblower activities, which often result in criminal convictions for


animal cruelty.

This legislative season, the animal groups enlisted a broader coalition of interests against the bill, from country stars in Tennessee to journalistic organizations in Washington D.C. In the end, they’d killed bills in Arkansas, California, Indiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont and Wyoming,

In a statement, ASPCA said 70 civil liberties, environmental, prosecution, First Amendment, labor and even some farming groups had signed the opposition statement to the state bills. Polling conducted last year showed 71 percent of Americans supported the undercover work by animal welfare groups to expose animal abuse, and 64 percent opposed making such efforts illegal.

In addition to blocking more state ag-gag laws, animal welfare groups have filed a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of Utah’s law. As best asIsiolo, Kenya (CNN) -- "Josephine" is 12 years old and several months pregnant.

She's a member of the Samburu tribe, living in a small village in a remote part of Isiolo in Kenya's Eastern Province. The pre-teen, whose identity is being protected, claims she had sex with a relative -- a rape sanctioned by the Samburu, through a practice called "beading."

Intricate beaded necklaces are a symbol of the Kenyan nation. But to young Samburu girls, the necklaces are a symbol not of national pride, but something much darker, that can lead to rape, unwanted pregnancies -- and even the deaths of newborns, according to activist Josephine Kulea and the Samburu tribe itself.

In "beading," a close family relative will approach a girl's parents with red Samburu beads and place the


necklace around the girl's neck.

"Effectively he has booked her," says Kulea, a member of the Samburu herself. "It is like a (temporary) engagement, and he can then have sex with her." Girls are also "beaded" as an early marriage promise by non-relatives.

Some girls who are "beaded" are no more than 6 years old. They are the focus of Kulea's rescue mission, a trip to Isiolo she's been planning for weeks.

Samburu culture dictates that girls be engaged to a relative, she says, and they are allowed to have sex with him. But "they are not allowed to get pregnant and there is no preventative measures," she says. "At the end of the day, most girls get pregnant ... and these (infants) end up dying or being killed or beingthe actor's granddaughter.

Statement in full "Since Sunday, I have been in regular contact with the senior executives I tasked with handling this issue," he said. "In the meantime, I have decided that it is not appropriate for either Russell Brand or Jonathan Ross to continue broadcasting on the BBC until I have seen the full report of the actions of all concerned. "This gross lapse of taste by the performers and the production team has angered licence payers."

Ross's Saturday morning radio show, as well as Brand's Saturday night radio show, have also been pulled from Radio 2's schedules.

the season with another former Patriots back-up in Jacoby Brissett. The thing is, Brissett did a pretty admirable job in filling in for Luck in years previous to this. In 2017, he started 15 games and threw for over 3,000 yards and 13 touchdowns while limiting his turnovers.

It will be interesting to see how the offensive philosophy changes with Brissett now in place of Luck for good. In 2017, the year that Brissett was the starter for an injured Luck, they only threw the ball a total of 487 times. When Luck returned the next season, that number jumped to 644. The team did have a total of 76 more plays ran in 2018 than 2017, but that difference is almost entirely made up in the 43 timesJustin Jackson. Ekeler has had a very productive short career so far in Los Angeles. Last season he accounted for nearly 1,000 yards in the air and on the ground combined, as well as scoring six touchdowns.

The other guy that’ll get a fair share of work for LA is their seventh-round pick from last season, Jackson. After a four-year career at Northwestern, Jackson racked up over 300 yards in his rookie season. With 4.52 speed, he has the ability to make guys miss, and it would not be surprising if he’s the breakout star of 2019 in the NFL.

A bulletproof plexiglass partition and a sliding-steel door separated the customer counter from the employee-only area of the store. The store's inventory was displayed in a see-through case on the employee side of the partition. A loaded .357 Magnum revolver typically rested in plain view on top of the case.
Sometime between 2 and 3 p.m. on November 7, 1984, Wilson was found dead in his chair behind the plexiglass at the shop. He had been shot three times in the back of the head. One shot was made with the gun pressed directly against his head. The slidingsteel door was open. About $10,000 worth of jewelry, $1,000 cash, and the .357 Magnum were missing from the store.
Mark Storey later admitted that he was in the employee-only area of the store between approximately 1 and 2 p.m. on the day of the shooting. He said that Wilson let him in, along with his friend Shawn Coats, so that Storey could sell some stolen jewelry to the store. Storey and Coats smoked marijuana while they were back there.
About three weeks later, Storey tried to sell the store a gold necklace. The store's owner, James Floyd, recognized the necklace as one that had been stolen when Wilson was murdered. The police investigated. Eventually, in connection with Wilson's killing, the State of Michigan charged Storey with first-degree murder and


firearm possession during a felony.

B.
Storey was just shy of 16 years old on the date of the murder, so the Wayne *375 County Probate Court's Juvenile Division initially held jurisdiction over his case. But that court waived jurisdiction at the State's request, thereby sending the case to the Michigan Recorder's Court for Storey to be tried as an adult. Neither Storey's counsel at the time, nor his counsel at trial, Charles Campbell, appealed the waiver.
After a four-day bench trial in the Recorder's Court, Judge James Chylinski found Storey guilty beyond a reasonable doubt on both counts. He emphasized that "the crux of the case" was whether three witnessesDarin Henderson, David Kidd, and William Wallswere credible when they testified that Storey had told them that he killed Wilson. AndJudge Chylinski found that each of these witnesses was credible when he so testified. He sentenced Storey to life in prison, plus two years for the gun charge. Storey appealed, claiming only that the evidence was insufficient to convict him. The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's judgment, and the Michigan Supreme Court denied leave to appeal.
Storey then pursued state collateral remedies. First he filed a petition for habeas corpus in the Recorder's Court, which Judge Chylinski denied in 1989. Five years later, Storey filed a motion for relief from judgment in the same court, claiming for the first time that his trial counsel had been ineffective, among other claims. He also moved for an evidentiary hearing with respect to his ineffective-assistance claim. See generally People


that Judge Chylinski had been better positioned than anyone to judge each witness's credibility.
So Storey proceeded with his second direct appeal before the Michigan Court of Appeals, raising ten claims. The court rejected all of them and affirmed the trial court's original judgment. The Michigan Supreme Court denied leave to appeal.
Storey then returned to federal district court, filing a new habeas petition in 2006. That petition included several claims that were in his 2001 petition, but four that were not. One of the latter claims was that Campbell had been ineffective at trial. Based on Storey's inclusion of the new claims, however, the district court held in a June 2009 order that Storey's new petition was "second or successive" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b). Thelater application challenging a new judgment in the same case was second or successive. Id. at 2797-98.
The posture of this case is somewhat different. In response to Storey's 2001 petition, the district court ordered the Michigan courts to grant him a new direct appeal. The Michigan courts did so, but ultimately affirmed the original judgment in his case. Storey filed a second petition in 2006, which included some new claims that were undisputedly ripe for inclusion in his earlier petition. The issue, then, is whether the fact of Storey's new appeal, standing alone, serves to "reset" the "counter" of his applications to zero. In re Williams, 444 F.3d 233, 235 (4th Cir.2006) (internal quotation marks omitted).
There is a circuit split on this issue, though perhaps now a stale


November 7, 1984, Nathan Wilson ("Wilson") was found murdered at the Gold Mine store in Detroit. Wilson was a twenty-one year old store clerk who had been working at the Gold Mine for a little over a year at the time of his death. His primary responsibility at the Gold Mine was to buy and sell gold and jewelry.
In 1984, the physical premises of the Gold Mine was set up in such a way that store employees were separated from customers by a bulletproof plexiglass partition and a sliding steel door. A display case of jewelry and gold was kept on the employee side of the partition, but was fully visible from the customer side. All purchases were conducted through a rotating transaction window and store policy prohibitedemployees from allowing customers to enter the employee side of the establishment. The Gold Mine also kept a .357 Magnum revolver prominently on view atop the display counter, on the employee side of the partition, to discourage unruliness in the store. This set up was necessary because, in addition to buying and selling gold to the general public, the Gold Mine was also amenable to fencing stolen goods for local entrepreneurs.
By the age of fifteen, Petitioner Mark Storey ("Storey") had already become one such entrepreneur and was therefore a frequent visitor to the Gold Mine. Storey was, at this time, associated with several other petty criminals in the neighborhood, including Darin Henderson ("Henderson"), Anthony Witlow ("Witlow"), and Shawn Coats ("Coats"). The boys committed breaking and entering and other


theft crimes throughout the neighborhood. Because the boys went to the Gold Mine often, they were all familiar with Wilson and the owner of the Gold Mine, James Floyd ("Floyd"). Storey's relationship with Wilson went beyond that of a customerthey were also friends.
On November 7, 1984, Wilson and Floyd arrived at the Gold Mine to open the store at 10:00 a.m. As was customary, Floyd weighed and inventoried the gold on hand for the day. He also provided Wilson with $1,000 in cash for the register and left the.357 revolver on the counter. Floyd reported that the store had approximately 220 grams of gold that day, which had a retail value of $10,000. After setting up the store, Floyd left the Gold Mine.
*382 Storey and Witlow arrived atthe Gold Mine before 1:00 p.m.[1] Although Storey had recently been cut out of a full body cast after a month's hospitalization and was still walking with the assistance of a cane, he was apparently eager to get back into the business of selling stolen property. He and Witlow had several stolen gold rings in their possession. Evidence suggests that at some point during this visit, Wilson let Storey and Witlow through the steel door to the employee side of the store.[2] While on the employee side, Storey and Witlow hung out with Wilson, smoked marijuana, and discussed the price that Wilson would be willing to pay for the rings. Sometime between 12:30 and 1:15 p.m., Wilson called Floyd from the store to advise Floyd that Wilson would


be loaning ten dollars to Storey. Wilson was required to make such a call anytime he wanted to remove money from the till that would not be reflected in the receipts. Storey claimed that he also spoke to Floyd during this call; Floyd denied speaking directly with Storey.
Around this time, Dione McPherson ("McPherson") entered the store to sell a bracelet. McPherson testified to seeing two men behind the partition with Wilson, smoking marijuana. McPherson later identified one of the men as Storey.
Sometime after McPherson left the Gold Mine, the building manager, James Cassar ("Cassar"), and a plumber arrived at the store to repair a faucet in the employee bathroom. Cassar testified to seeing Wilson on the employee side of the store with two young black men. Cassar alsosaid that one of the men was talking on the employee telephone.
David Kidd ("Kidd") also claimed to have gone to the Gold Mine that day to sell stolen jewelry. He testified that while there he saw Storey behind the plexiglass with Wilson, and saw Coats and Witlow in the customer area of the store.
At approximately 2:00 p.m., twin sisters Darlene and Marlene Holly ("Holly sisters") entered the store and discovered Wilson's dead body. Wilson was found sitting, slumped to the side, in a chair facing the plexiglass partition. In apparent panic and confusion, the Holly sisters left the store and called Wilson's mother, instead of calling the police. After attempting to call the Gold Mine and receiving no answer, Wilson's mother called her brother, Dwayne Black ("Black"), and


requested that he go to the store to check on Wilson. When Black arrived at the Gold Mine, he saw a man, Roger Solomon ("Solomon") exit the store and flag down a passing police patrol car. Just seconds before, Solomon had walked into the Gold Mine and discovered Wilson's body.
Police entered the Gold Mine, secured the scene and commenced an investigation. Floyd arrived at the store at approximately 3:00 p.m.; he testified that he had been calling the store to talk to Wilson but could not get through. Because this was unusual, Floyd had decided to go to the store to see if there was a problem.
Upon investigation, police discovered three sets of palm and fingerprints on the employee side of the Gold Mine. One set, found onposted fliers on Dexter Avenue and elsewhere in the neighborhood. It appears that Storey became a suspect in the murder almost immediately, though it is unclear what caused this heightened interest.
Floyd claimed that two weeks after the murder, Storey came to the Gold Mine with at least Witlow, but possibly with another young man, to sell jewelry. At that time, Floyd agreed to purchase a gold chain (the "distinctive gold chain"). Contrary to normal practice, no receipt was given to Storey for the distinctive gold chain; the only receipt given for the transaction was made out to Witlow. Floyd testified that he later recognized the distinctive gold chain as one of the pieces that had been taken during the robbery, because he had previously repaired the chain with


an unusual silver clasp. Upon making the discovery, Floyd called the police homicide investigator in charge of the case, Officer Kramer. Officer Kramer and Floyd met the next day and the distinctive gold chain was tagged as evidence. At trial, Storey claimed that Floyd fabricated the whole incident and that he had never returned to the Gold Mine to sell jewelry after Wilson's murder.
Approximately six months after the murder, Storey and Henderson went to the Gold Mine to talk to Floyd. Apparently there was "word on the street" that Storey was involved in the murder and he wanted to clear his name with Floyd. During their conversation Floyd told Storey that, while he did not necessarily believe that Storey committed the murder, he did believe that Storey wasinvolved and knew the identity of the killer. Floyd said that he also suspected that Henderson was involved in the murder. Floyd then offered Storey the reward money for information, which Storey refused. This conversation was all conducted within earshot of Henderson.
That day, Henderson wrote a letter to Floyd about Wilson's murder, which he left with one of the employees at the Gold Mine. The letter accused Witlow of killing Wilson, and named Storey and Coats as, respectively, "inside man" and lookout. When Floyd received the letter, he made arrangements to meet with Henderson to bring him to the police precinct to make a statement, which they did the following day.
Henderson's letter to Floyd was written immediately after Henderson, who had been living with Storey at his parent's


Coats sitting on a cement planter outside of the Gold Mine. Instead of approaching Coats, Henderson stated that he continued to walk down the block, past Coats, on the opposite side of the street. He then stopped "right across the street" from Coats, near the intersection of Elmhurst Street, and began watching Coats. At no point did Coats notice Henderson, although Henderson was apparently standing in unobstructed view. Henderson testified that he could see Witlow and Storey inside the Gold Mine, through the glass door. According to Henderson, after a couple of minutes Coats looked around and then started to walk away. Directly thereafter, Henderson heard two gunshots and then saw Witlow and Storey exit the Gold Mine empty handed. Witlow and Storey met with Coats at thethat he did not report the confession to the police because he did not know who Storey claimed to have killed until Walls' sister, who worked for Floyd, linked Storey's confession with Wilson's murder. Walls made a statement to police to this effect more than a year after the murder. Walls was brought to the police station by Floyd.
Kidd also testified at trial. He recounted that sometime in 1985 Storey and Kidd found themselves housed together in a youth detention facility. Kidd claimed that he took the opportunity to ask Storey if he had killed Wilson, and that Storey admitted the killing. Kidd also testified that Storey told him, before the murder, that Wilson could be an easy target for robbery.
Before his arrest, Storey gave a statement to


police in which he admitted to being in the Gold Mine on November 7, 1984, and being on the employee side of the store smoking marijuana with Wilson and Coats. Storey claimed that Wilson often let him behind the partition, because they were friends, and also because Storey liked to see the weight reading on the scale when he was selling a piece of gold.[4] Storey denied having anything to do with the murder and also denied confessing to anyone.

II. The Trial
On May 16, 1986, attorney Charles Campbell was retained to represent Storey at trial. Campbell was the second attorney retained by Storey and was the attorney of record for the trial.[5] At the time *385 that he retained Campbell, Storey was a sixteen year old with aAt the conclusion of Campbell's opening, the trial court stated that it was having difficulty understanding the nature of the defense being presented, and attempted, to little avail, to gain clarification from Campbell.
Campbell's performance continued to underwhelm. Campbell did not cross examine the first six witnesses called to the stand by the State, which included Wilson's mother, who testified to the time of the discovery of Wilson's body; Dwayne Black, who testified both to the timeline of discovery of the body and the actions of *386 the first police officers on scene; Marlene Holly, whose testimony was not entirely consistent with that of her sister, Darlene; Officer Bobby Bukines, who testified to police procedures at the scene, establishing all of them as proper, and to the state of


the Gold Mine at the time of the arrival of the police; Roger Solomon, who testified to finding Wilson's body and to the state of the Gold Mine; and Officer Kenneth Day, who testified to the evidence of robbery (and who took Henderson's official police statement, though he was not questioned about it on the stand). Campbell did, briefly and perfunctorily, question the medical examiner, who testified to the cause of death, about puncture wounds found on Wilson's body, which were explained to be post-mortem.[7] He also asked Darlene Holly, who testified to the state of Wilson's body and events leading up to the discovery, whether she "was looking at a clock and noting ... times," although he never raised any argument about the discrepancies in the timelinesWilson's autopsy; Sergeant Eggers, one of the first responding officers on scene; Sergeant Kimball, who "took an exculpatory statement from the Defendant that [the State chose] not introduce into evidence," (R. 27-3: Tr. at 57.); Stephen Yakimovich and Paul Kulesa, the evidence technicians on the case; and Russell Morgan, the fingerprint expert. Perhaps most importantly, after mistakenly failing to subpoena him, Campbell waived the testimony of Officer Kramer, the witness who was the keystone of his "defense theory," who he argued colluded with Floyd in furtherance of inducing Henderson and Kidd to falsely identify Storey as the gunman.
While Campbell admitted that he had been provided with discovery obtained by Storey's prior attorney, at various points during the trial Campbell requested to be given discovery that he had not


yet seen, including the pivotal letter that Henderson wrote to Floyd, which Campbell did not request until he was in the middle of his cross examination of Floyd. (R. 27-4: Tr. at 121-23.) Soon thereafter, Campbell requested discovery of police notes on the transaction regarding the distinctive gold chain. (Id. at 125.) Because it was apparent to the court that Campbell had failed to review the discovery material in advance of trial and was unfamiliar with the evidence provided during discovery, halfway through the trial the court assigned attorney Mark Hall to Campbell to oversee discovery review and adjourned the trial for a day to allow time for Hall to assist Campbell. (R. 27-7: Tr. at 181-84.)
During cross-examination of Henderson, Campbell requested a recess to "prepare his thoughts,"prior attorney, who had submitted the discovery request on Storey's behalf.
Even though Campbell's defense theory, inasmuch as there was a defense theory, hinged on witness misidentification (or framing by witnesses), Campbell never reviewed the letter that Henderson, the only "eyewitness" to the crime, wrote to Floyd. Importantly, in that letter Henderson accused Witlow of committing the murder.
Furthermore, Campbell did not review the evidence surrounding the distinctive gold chain until cross-examination of Floyd was almost complete. Aside from the fingerprint evidence, which placed Storey at the scene before the murder, the distinctive gold chain was the only physical evidence linking Storey to the crime.
Campbell also performed no investigation regarding Floyd's cash payments to various prosecution witnesses and Floyd's personal connections to other witnesses, including Kidd and Walls. Campbell performed


no discovery regarding the role that Officer Kramer played in the "frame job" that he accused Kramer of perpetrating against Storey, and then proceeded to waive Officer Kramer's testimony at trial because he neglected to subpoena him. (R. 27-10, 11: Tr. 314-15, 359-63.)
At trial, Campbell did not question Floyd about, or attempt to impeach him on, his previous statements that he believed that Henderson was involved in the murder, including in his sworn testimony at Storey's preliminary hearing. (R. 37-3: Tr. at 30.)
Campbell did not conduct investigation or discovery or put witnesses on the stand adequate to establish that Storey was walking with a limp and the assistance of a cane on the day of the murder and was incapable of running, though evidence in the record supportsof discovery before the case began, he was woefully unprepared for the trial, which clearly resulted in an inadequately conceptualized trial strategy and a completely absent defense theory. This result is illustrated in the trial court's repeated entreaties for Campbell to clarify his defense theory, which began as early as Campbell's opening statement, and proceeded through Campbell's attempts to introduce innocence evidence at sentencing.
The trial court's assurancewhich was heavily relied upon by the Michigan Court of Appealsthat it knew "what to disregard and what to take into consideration," also fails to offset the prejudice caused by Campbell's performance. See Storey, 2005 WL 711756, at *2. The trial court, as finder of fact, may have been capable of disregarding irrelevant evidence placed before it, but it was totally incapable

DETROIT (AP) — The marketing people at Chevrolet make no secret of the goal for the new diesel version of the Chevrolet Cruze: Take sales from Volkswagen.

In fact, they're rolling out the car in 13 markets where VW sells the most diesel versions of its Jetta, another compact.

"Jetta owns the segment," concedes Phil Caruso, small-car marketing manager for the General Motors' Chevy brand. "We're looking to be a key competitor and take over some of that business."

Diesel cars attract buyers with high gas mileage, quick acceleration at any speed, and a long range between fill-ups. Last year, about 70 percent of the diesel cars sold nationwide were Volkswagens. VW sold 90,295 diesel cars in the U.S., and nearly 50,000 of


in other parts of the world since the car hit markets in 2009. Most of the sales were in Europe, where in some countries half of all cars are diesels. The company also makes diesel motors for heavy-duty pickup trucks.

"There's not really a lot of kinks to work out," he said.

The startup markets for the diesel cruise are: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, Seattle, Milwaukee, Denver, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Calif., Portland and Washington, D.C. The car will be available nationwide by the end of the year.Thursday, March 31, 2011

Nearly nine months on since the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ concluded, Asia put the wheels in motion for Brazil 2014 by conducting the draw for the opening two qualifying rounds on Wednesday. 16 of the continent's lowest ranked sides will battle against each other in the first phase, with the eight winners advancing to join a further 22 teams in the next stage. Australia, Korea Republic, Japan,Korea DPR and Bahrain – the confederation’s top five teams in South Africa 2010 qualifying – will automatically enter in Round 3.

Yesterday's event largely turned out to be kind for some traditional powerhouses, with four-time FIFA World Cup qualifiers Saudi Arabia drawn to meet Hong Kong. Fellow east Asian giants Iran cross paths with Maldives, a side

The second round also pits some familiar foes together, with Asian Cup semi-finalists Uzbekistan locking horns with Kyrgyzstan in an all-Central Asian affair. Neighbours Tajikistan face another meeting against Syria, with the pair having also met in the qualification campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, when the latter prevailed 3-1 on aggregate.

Another former Soviet republic, Turkmenistan, will resume an unlikely rivalry against Indonesia, with the two side’s level on head-to-head record after each claimed a home 3-1 win in their previous meetings, also in Germany 2006 qualifying.

World Cup venues," said Brazilian Football Confederation president Ricardo Teixeira, who is also head of the Local Organising Committee (COL).

"On the contrary, FIFA has seen for years the combined work of the public authorities with the Local Organising Committee and FIFA itself," he said in a statement posted on the CBF website (www.cbf.com.br).

Teixeira said Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff had shown her support "concerning the federal government's principal attributes (airports and urban transport)."

Blatter had been scathing of progress on the tournament on Monday, and said political squabbles were a principal cause of the delays, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, which is to host the final at the giant Maracana stadium, and Sao Paulo where work has not yet begun on a stadium to hold the opening match.

Teixeira said theMaracana would be ready within the deadline set by FIFA in 2013 in time for the Confederations Cup which serves as a dress rehearsal for the World Cup finals despite problems recently discovered in the upper tier that will have to be redone from scratch rather than simply restored.

He added that he had been given guarantees from the parties involved in building a new stadium in Sao Paulo that it would also been ready within the set time frame.

"It's not the job of the CBF to pressure governors, the less so when there's no reason to do so," Teixeira said before he invited Blatter to Brazil to see the progress of work.

GENEVA — FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Monday urged Brazil to speed up its


2014 World Cup preparations, warning that Rio and Sao Paulo might not be ready to host Confederations Cup matches a year beforehand.

"If you make a comparison between the state of play in South Africa and Brazil three years before the World Cup, Brazil is behind Africa. It shouldn't be said but it's a fact," the head of world football's governing body told journalists.

"If they carry on working like that when we have the Confederations Cup... a year before the World Cup as a rehearsal, there won't be matches in Rio and no matches in Sao Paulo," he added. "The World Cup stadiums are still not ready."

Blatter said he was waiting for "a bit of effect" from the five-time World Cup winners "because it's not moving forward, it's notmoving forward very fast".

"What they should do in Brazil is put a little bit more speed in the organisation," he added.

But Brazilian Sports Minister Orlando Silva responded to Blatter's criticism by saying work in 10 of the 12 cities was progressing "at full speed".

"We have some problems with the Natal and Sao Paulo stadiums but in the other cities the work is going ahead at full speed," Silva said.

"I understand FIFA's worry and concern, but we don't want to talk with them. We only want to work so the calendar is maintained."

Silva, however, added that he too was concerned with the state of progress in works in the transport sector, notably airports.

Work on almost all of the 12 World Cup venues in the country is behind schedule, while


will have a system in 2012 which allows us to say whether it was a goal or not. And this system will then be introduced for the 2014 World Cup," FIFA president Blatter said in an interview with French TF1 television broadcast on Sunday.

The ruling body FIFA has been reluctant to bring modern technology into football to help referees. But a growing number of players, referees and officials want technology to help determine whether a ball has crossed the line or not, via video evidence or a chip in the ball.

The issue is being re-assessed because a clear England goal in the round of 16 match with Germany at the 2010 World Cup was not given by match officials.

"To avoid what the English have (named)a flagrant injustice, the discussion had to be re-opened, and that is what we did," Blatter told TF1.

FIFA decided earlier this month to delay a decision on goal-line technology to allow further testing of chip balls and goal cameras.

A decision is now expected in March 2012 from the International Football Association Board which oversees the laws of the game.

Friday, March 25, 2011

The Executive Committee of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has announced its wish to maintain the current format of the European Zone qualifying competition for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil. Similarly to qualifying for South Africa 2010, the 53 member associations will be split into nine groups, with eight groups consisting of six teams and one consisting of five.

The nine group winners will


qualify directly for the finals in Brazil, while the eight runners-up will each contest a two-legged play-off tie to determine the remaining four qualifiers. A total of 13 European teams will take part in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the same amount as in 2010.

The approved qualification format must still be ratified by the FIFA Executive Committee, which will convene in Zurich at the end of May. The qualification format forms the basis of the qualifying draw for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, which will take place on 30 July 2011.

Uefa will use the same format to decide which 13 European nations qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as it employed for the 2010 tournament.

The same 53 European countries which played in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers will compete in nine groups, with the winners of each going to


South America.

The eight best runners-up will be drawn in two-legged play-offs to determine the other four qualifying nations.

The preliminary draw for the 2014 World Cup is scheduled for 30 July in Brazil.

Europe will have its lowest share of teams at the World Cup since the inaugural event in 1930 when only four travelled to a 13-nation tournament in Uruguay.

At the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the last to feature 24 countries, 13 European teams played.

That number increased to 15 out of 32 teams four years later with 14 going through the qualifying process while France qualified automatically as hosts.

In 2002, defending champions France again qualified automatically, to ensure 15 European nations were present in Japan and South Korea.

However, Europe was reduced to 13 qualifiers for the2006 World Cup with hosts Germany taking up a 14th spot.

Defending champions are no longer guaranteed a spot, so 2010 World Cup winners Spain will join 52 other nations who will be split into eight groups of six teams and one group of five.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the executive committee of European football's governing body.

Uefa has also approved recommendations on corruption and match fixing to "establish a network of integrity officers around Europe involving all national associations and on fostering collaboration with state authorities".

Meanwhile, Uefa secretary general Gianni Infantino reiterated that the Bosnian federation would be suspended from April if it did not cut its ethnic-based three-member presidency to one.

Uefa and world governing body Fifa have given the Bosnian federation until the end of


March to do so or face suspension.

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 21 (Xinhua) -- President of the U.S. Export-Import Bank Fred Hochberg announced on Monday a financing of 1 billion U.S. dollars for Brazilian companies involved in projects for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The money must be used to purchase products made by U.S. companies.

According to Hochberg, Brazil is one of nine countries the Bank considered priorities for investments, but also a country in which the Bank's operations evolve at a very slow pace.

Hochberg hoped the new financing serves as a beginning of a period of faster growth for Ex-Im Bank's operations in Brazil.

"This should be only the beginning, so that the financing to Brazilian companies reach a higher level," he said.

OnSunday, in a speech in Rio's Municipal theater, U.S. President Barack Obama said his country intends to help Brazil in the projects for the games.

"We need world-class infrastructures, which is why U.S. companies want to help you build and prepare this city for an Olympic success," he said.

Besides the financing for the Cup and the Summer Olympics, the Ex-Im Bank will release a 2 billion U.S. dollar credit to Brazil's state-controlled oil and gas giant Petrobras to purchase products from U.S. companies as well.

Asia will begin the race to the FIFA World Cup 2014™. Ahead of the Preliminary Draw in Brazil on 30 July 2011, teams from the Asian continent will contest a preliminary round of matches. The draw for this first round takes place


on 30 March 2011 at AFC House in Kuala Lumpur.

The first round will consist of seven home-and-away series, featuring the 14 lowest ranked teams in Asia. The winners of these series will then proceed to a second round.

The draw will take into account the new rankings in the Asian Confederation. These rankings are based on the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa finals as well as the Asian qualifying rounds for the main tournament. The final number of entries was confirmed by FIFA, whereby all teams entered the qualifiers save Bhutan and Guam, who declined the invitation, and Brunei Darussalam, who are still suspended.

Newly crowned Asian champions Japan are the top-ranked team, followed in second place by Korea Republic. Both these sides reached the Round of 16 ofthe 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.Australia and DPR Korea - the two other Asian teams that played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup - and 2010 FIFA World Cup Asian play-off participants Bahrain round out the top five.

Brunei DS, who are currently suspended by FIFA, are the only team not ranked among AFC’s 46 Member Associations.


Tattoos and the military have been wrapped in a long-standing love affair since the beginning of written history. For as long as tattooing has been documented, you can find traces of the military interspersed throughout. It should come as no surprise that tattooing is now being used as a method of therapy for those leaving the military life behind to rejoin the civilian world.

One such organization using this method to help military veterans cope with the drastic changes in their life as they re-enter society is Operation Tattooing Freedom. This organization was created to bring artists and veterans together to form a healthy, artistic relationship that is beneficial for both parties.

The organization is sponsored by the international aftercare company, After Inked, who believes in the art form asa good try, buddy!

Ronnie Moore leaves Hartlepool in 22nd place in League Two

League Two strugglers Hartlepool United have parted company with manager Ronnie Moore by mutual consent.

Moore's last game in charge was a 2-1 loss to Stevenage at Victoria Park on Tuesday, a result that leaves the club four points above the bottom two.

"This is an extremely difficult decision but one we feel is right," said chairman Gary Coxall. external-link

The 63-year-old was appointed manager in December 2014, and saved the club from relegation last season.

Pools back in trouble

Despite a remarkable 'Great Escape', which saw Pools overhaul a 10-point deficit to preserve their Football League status, Moore has been unable to steer the club away from trouble this term.

Four wins in all competitions from the firstfour games lifted the club up to third, but form has dipped dramatically.

Tuesday's result was their fourth successive game without a win, and their 16th league defeat of the season.

However, a number of postponements mean Hartlepool have played fewer games than any of the bottom six clubs, including five fewer than Stevenage.

"Ronnie has worked tirelessly to bring success to the club and we thank him sincerely for those efforts and wish him well for the future," added Coxall.

'Devastating' defeat

Moore, who was Hartlepool's ninth manager of the decade, lost 29 of his 59 games in charge, but admitted the Stevenage loss was critical to his future.

"It's a devastating result for me," Moore told BBC Tees. "This is a game I looked at where I thought we could win this.

She said productivity growth in particular has been "very, very low," which she called a "depressing finding." (Paycheck increases in the long run are driven by productivity growth, she noted.)

"In that sense, the economy is not doing well," Yellen told the House Financial Services Committee.

this macroeconomics geek — but when that has to interact with SICK and AN APPLE A DAY, and then OUT TO WIN / UNLEASH / COALESCE all get into the picture, it's pretty tough to avoid gluey bits like LESE, MCI, DIO, ONS. That's a lot to concentrate into a single region.

OUT TO WIN felt a bit off, too. "In it to win it" would be gold, in my book. OUT TO WIN … wouldn't win. Additionally, having to work with SILK fixed in place, THOS and OLIO are prices to pay.

Spurs hold a slender lead from the first leg

TOTTENHAM boss Mauricio Pochettino has cited greater intensity as the key defence against his side becoming the latest giant-killing victim of Sheffield United in tonight’s Capital One Cup semi-final second leg at Bramall Lane.

Spurs head to South Yorkshire in possession of a slender one-goal lead courtesy of England winger Andros Townsend’s second-half penalty in last week’s first leg.

The League One outfit are no respecters of reputation and have slayed five Premier League heavyweights in cup competitions over the past two seasons, including the scalps of high-flyers Southampton, West Ham United and QPR this term.

Hatchet Warrior is the second studio album by American rapper Anybody Killa. The album went through various name changes before release, including "Foo Dang" and "Psychopathic Warrior". Released in 2003, it is the rapper's first release under Psychopathic Records. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart, #42 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #98 on the Billboard 200. Allmusic reviewer Johnny Loftus wrote that "Lines like 'Shootin' off my arrows like AKs' and broad references to the 'native hydro' -- which may or may not be peyote -- make ABK's act seem gimmicky, not menacing, and certainly don't establish him as a new voice in Native American hip-hop".

Sufficient morphological and ecological data are present to document four of the I. lilacina subgroup species, two of which are described from North America as new: I. ionocephala and I. sublilacina. Inocybe lilacina is recircumscribed based on sequencing the holotype and is distributed in the eastern United States under pines and/or hardwoods. Inocybe pallidicremea is a widespread and common conifer associate in mostly northern parts of North America, to which the name I. lilacina was previously applied.

I also have a grandmother that lives in the Austin area who I see almost as much as my parents. She is 83 years old and the sweetest woman on the planet(I will breakdance fight anyone here over this point). She's never said a bad word about anyone(believe me, I've tried to get it out of her), she goes to church every Sunday & sings in the choir, and is quicker to laughter than most anyone I know. She listens to classical music and Stevie Ray Vaughan. She got her first tattoo when she was in her70s(it's a rose on her shoulder), and I've spent a holiday watching movies & drinking fuzzy navels with her. And she's dying. I don't mean in the Tibetan philosophy, Sylvia Plath sense of the word dying, I mean she's deteriorating in front of our eyes. We've been through some serious situations with her before; she has had more health problems than I can count. There are steel rods in her back(that they've had to install twice) that make a 5'4" woman 4'10" on a good day, she's been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for decades, and she's got lung & heart problems with descriptions that will decimate the spell-checker; you name it and she's probably been in the hospital for it. If they had frequent flyer miles for hospitals


she could retire in Bali. It's remarkable she's even here at this point, and yet I've never heard her complain once. She's been through oceans of pain and fought back every single time against odds I don't even want to calculate, and she's done it with a level of grace & positivity that would make Mother Teresa uncomfortable. She is literally amazing to me. And she's dying. I've talked to her on the phone and she's starting to let go; you can hear it in her voice. The fight she had in her previous battles just isn't there any more, and I don't blame her. She's fought so hard for so long & she has earned the right to leave.

Among the benefits of BB386 is the larger diameter, stiffer spindle. At 30mm, it's the same diameter as a BB30 spindle. The big difference between them is that the BB386 spindle is longer to allow its use in a bottom bracket shell width of 86mm.

Chrystia Freeland: Canada’s strong-willed foreign minister

In this August 31, 2018, file photo, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland arrives for trade talks at the Office of the United States Trade Representative in Washington.

She is many things that would seem to irritate Donald Trump: a liberal Canadian former journalist.

That makes Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland an unusual choice to lead Canada's negotiations over a new free-trade deal with a surprisingly hostile United States administration.

Recruited into politics by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Freeland has already clashed with Russia and Saudi Arabia. Those who know her say she's unlikely to back down in a confrontation with Trump.

"She is everything the Trump administration loathes," said Sarah Goldfeder, a former official with the US Embassy in Canada.

Freeland, a globalist negotiating with a US administrationthat believes in economic nationalism and populism, hopes to salvage a free-trade deal with Canada's largest trading partner as talks resumed Wednesday in Washington. The 50-year-old Harvard graduate and Rhodes Scholar speaks five languages and has influential friends around the world.

"I have enormous sympathy for her because she is negotiating with an unpredictable, irrational partner," said CNN host Fareed Zakaria, a friend of Freeland's for 25 years.

Freeland cut short a trip to Europe last week after Trump reached a deal with Mexico that excluded Canada. Talks with Canada resumed, but Trump said he wasn't willing to make any concessions.

The Trump administration left Canada out of the talks for five weeks, not long after the president vowed to make Canada pay after Trudeau said at the G-7 in Quebec


he wouldn't let Canada get pushed around in trade talks. Freeland then poked the US when she received Foreign Policy magazine's Diplomat of the Year award in Washington.

"You may feel today that your size allows you to go mano-a-mano with your traditional adversaries and be guaranteed to win," Freeland said in the June speech. "But if history tells us one thing, it is that no one nation's pre-eminence is eternal."

Despite being the chief negotiator with the Trump administration, Freeland has criticised it when few other leaders of Western democracies have.

"She's an extremely strong-willed and capable young woman, and I think Trump generally has a problem with that," said Ian Bremmer, a long-time friend and foreign affairs columnist and president of the Eurasia Group. "She's not going to bather eyelashes at Trump to get something done. That's not Chrystia. She doesn't play games."

After Freeland and her department tweeted criticism of Saudi Arabia last month for the arrest of social activists in the kingdom, Canada suffered consequences. The Saudis suspended diplomatic relations and cancelled new trade with Canada and sold off Canadian assets.

Public shaming doesn't work

Peter MacKay, a former Canadian foreign minister, said public shaming like that doesn't work, and said some Americans viewed her June speech in Washington as something less than diplomatic.

"It was around that time, within days, that the US threw Canada out of the room," MacKay said. "There is sometimes concern that she is taking the lead from her prime minister by playing a little bit to a domestic audience."

Trudeau personally recruited Freeland


to join his Liberal Party while it was the third party in Parliament in 2013. Freeland had a senior position at the Reuters news agency but was ready to move on after setbacks in her journalism career, said Martin Wolf, an influential Financial Times columnist and long-time friend.

Freeland previously had risen rapidly at the Financial Times where she became Moscow bureau chief in her mid-20s during the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Freeland also served as deputy editor of the Globe and Mail in Toronto and the Financial Times. She had designs on becoming editor of the Financial Times but left after a clash with the top editor. She was familiar to many TV viewers in the US because of her regular appearances on talk shows like 'Zakaria's'.

"She wasa godsend for us, frankly, because she is so bright and so talented and articulate," Zakaria said. "She is as about as impressive a person as I have met."

Freeland, who is of Ukrainian heritage, also wrote a well-received book on Russia and left journalism for politics in 2013 when she won a district in Toronto. She has been a frequent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who banned her from travelling to the country in 2014 in retaliation for Western sanctions against Moscow.

She remains chummy with journalists, even bringing them frozen treats in 90-degree heat last week while they waited outside the US Trade Representative office in Washington.

Bremmer, who met Freeland in Kiev in 1992, good-naturedly chided her for a strange foible: a habit of writing notes on


her hands even when she has notepads.

"I have seen in her environments with foreign ministers and heads of state with stuff on her hands," he said with a laugh.

Throughout her career, Freeland has cultivated an impressive group of friends. Mark Carney, the Bank of England governor, is a godfather to one of her three children. Friends include Larry Summers, the former US treasury secretary, and billionaires George Soros and Stephen Schwarzman, the Blackstone Group chief executive who once led one of Trump's disbanded business councils.

"I always found her to be extremely smart and easy to talk with," Schwarzman said. "She accessible and direct and quick. You don't get to be a Rhodes Scholar by accident."

Summers is a mentor from Harvard.

"Her clarity of thought, straightforwardness and deep sense ofprinciple make her an ideal leader of the international community as it responds to highly problematic American policy," Summers said in an email.

Bremmer said Freeland has serious globalist credentials, "but right now, momentum is not with that group globally".

When Trudeau became prime minister in 2015, he named Freeland to his Cabinet. She served as international trade minister and worked on ensuring that a free trade deal with the European Union didn't unravel. At one point, she left stalled talks near tears after saying it had been impossible to overcome differences. An agreement was reached not long after that, and Freeland received credit.

Now she's facing her toughest challenge with the North American Free Trade Agreement, since the US represents 75 per cent of Canada's exports.

Puneet Bisht leads Meghalaya to 294/5 vs Uttarakhand

Meghalaya’s two outstation player Puneet Bisht and Yogesh Nagar kept the marauding table toppers in Plate Group, Uttarakhand, at bay with a stand 194 runs for the fourth wicket

Meghalaya’s two outstation player Puneet Bisht and Yogesh Nagar kept the marauding table toppers in Plate Group, Uttarakhand, at bay with a stand 194 runs for the fourth wicket after the team was reduced to 27/3 in the opening day of round five of the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy season at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun on Thursday.

With four out of four wins – three of them with bonus points – Uttarakhand were third time lucky with the toss back at home and elected to bowl first. Deepak Dhapola who had claimedcheerleading for 350 being a potential killer of 777X. It will be not. As inconvenient as the truth is.

Well, the hyping of the 787 was so successful that even after the fake and extremely dishonest 787 POTEMKIN roll-out on July 8, 2007, the 787 continued to rake in orders. By the end of 2007 more than 800 787s had been sold. However, a vast number of these aircraft were seemingly sold more as a fire sale as Boeing believed their own hype that they could produce 787s cheaply en masse. When the delays kicked in and it became apparent that it was not all hunky dory in Boeing fantasyland, they mostly stood by on the fences knowing that Boeing would have to compensate big time for an already


Three fathers of rocket science, and why space travel is like coach travel. Quirky true history with Helen Keen. From March 2011.

Funny, off-beat but factually accurate account of the science of rockets and the brilliant but occasionally warped brains behind it all.

Helen Keen, Peter Serafinowicz and Susy Kane look at the three fathers of modern rocket science:

* 19th Century self-taught Russian visionary Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky and his dreams of orbiting space stations and Martian colonies;

* American Robert H Goddard, derided in The New York Times in the 1920s for his prediction of a lunar landing (A retraction was printed after the Apollo 11 launch);

* Transylvanian-German Hermann Oberth with his brilliant theories about space travel and his horrifying theories about racial supremacy.

Plus Helen reveals the surprising connection between space travelother basic rights. The Jackson-Vanik Amendment was opposed by coldblooded realpolitikers like Richard Nixon, who thought that human rights had no place in American foreign policy, but passed by an overwhelming vote of Congress. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews were able to leave that Communist regime and seek better lives elsewhere, primarily in Israel and the United States.

I and countless others will forever be grateful that the United States took us in. And, dare I say, America has benefited from our contribution just as it has benefited from previous waves of immigration. Consider just one Soviet Jewish immigrant: Sergey Brin, who has helped make Google one of the most successful companies in America and the world, creating far more wealth and employment than the


Trump Organization ever has.

The actions America took to press the Soviet Union on its human-rights record were done not simply to undermine an adversary, but to promote freedom — in other words, they were done for a combination of self-interested and altruistic motives that have always characterized the best of American foreign policy. It was for the same reasons that after World War II the United States did not follow the policy extolled by Trump during his visit to the CIA on Saturday: “to the victor belong the spoils.” Instead of looting its defeated enemies, the United States helped them get back on their feet, making it possible for them to become our trading partners and allies. In retrospect, this is generally seen as one of the wisestSt., owned by the Stigmatine Fathers & Brothers, a Catholic organization.

While negotiations between the city and the Stigmatine representatives had been seemingly productive at the time of the $18 million vote, they have since broken down, with the Stigmatines refusing to sell to the city for any price. Councilors voted 12-3 against the attempt to forcibly take the 46 acres by eminent domain in May, and in June, voted down negotiating the price of the land. In August the council ruled out of order a request from the School Committee to get at least 25 of the 46 acres.

The council drew criticism for its decision not to allow the mayor to argue her case at the Sept. 11 meeting.

In her written statement to the News Tribune, McCarthy argued


in favor of continuing to pursue the site, stating the purchase was necessary to "provide for the needs of 5,663 students, to protect the interests of Waltham taxpayers, to protect neighborhoods from over-development, to try to unite the City Council with the School Committee, the School Building Committee, the superintendent and the mayor, and to try and restore the city’s bargaining power."

Best location for students

The Stigmatine site would best provide for the needs of Waltham’s multicultural student body because of its location, according to the mayor. "A centrally-located high school is needed for educational, social and economic reasons," McCarthy said.

In response to suggestions the Fernald site at 200 Trapelo Road be considered as a possible home for a new high school, McCarthy wrote that a councilor advised thehearing from constituents that the Stigmatine land was being sold, I went up to the Stigmatine office with a letter expressing interest in the land. I was advised by the person sitting at the desk that 30 acres is currently in process of being permitted but she would make sure that the (president of the Stigmatine Fathers Inc./Springfield Priest) would get my letter."

She added, "Acquisition of the Stigmatine land has been in the city’s Open Space Plan since 1994."

Bargaining position compromised

The mayor stated the councilors have compromised the city’s bargaining position by dealing "directly with private parties including Stigmatine priests, Stigmatine followers, individual real estate people and the Stigmatine attorney."

"There is no hope for agreement because the Stigmatine attorney knows that these councilors are in his corner," she


said.

"Politicians have every right to disagree and vote accordingly, but they have no right to negatively impact the City’s overall interests or the public schoolchildren’s interests by interfering with long-established legal processes involving real estate," she concluded.

The School Committee, school building committee, superintendent, and mayor all consider the Stigmatine land as the preferred site for a new high school. The City Council has expressed support for Veterans Field on Forest Street and the Fernald site. While the option of building at the current high school site, 617 Lexington St., is still an option, school officials say it would cause too much commotion for students during construction and would not allow the school district to build the full campus model they are hoping to construct.Advertisement

Elevating the ‘Phillyzuelan’ Palate

Armed with a natural-born talent and a cultivated passion for cooking, Chef Judith Suzarra-Campbell is revolutionizing the modern restaurant business in Philadelphia by providing homestyle Venezuelan meals, and by putting quality and tradition over unnecessary pizzaz and big-name chains.

On the coast of Venezuela, a five-year old was kneading ground maize, gently placing each round patty on an aripo with small, sticky, brown fingers. While her parents were working late-hours at the nearby mercado, she was feeding herself and her sisters, cooking for her loved ones rather than cooking for love.

Only time and circumstance could change the way that she would feel about preparing arepas. Only adulthood and time away from her country could awaken in Chef Judith Suzarra-Campbell a passion she had long repressed.

“I told


local and international art, a proud seven-star Venezuelan flag, a quirky cake-whisk candelabra, and a sign that states: “No Human Being Is Illegal”.

Unlike in other popular establishments, Judith is an all hands on deck chef. She waitresses, she buses tables, she bartends, she hostesses, she cooks, and she mingles, making sure to attend to all aspects of her restaurant. She is helped by her crew, her husband, and her mother-in-law (which she expressed sincere gratitude for in our interview), but for the most part, Judith says that, in spite of the demands of modernity, she keeps her management familial, traditional, and no frills.

Chef Judith excels at making an evening at Sazón a truly inviting and memorable one.

A former professional volleyball player, an entrepreneurial woman, a force to bereckoned with in the kitchen… Though she be little- with a stature at (generously) five feet, she is fierce, and fiercely loyal to her restaurant. She has never played into the “popularity contest” of notorious Philadelphian restaurateurs or over-hyped chains, instead choosing to go at the beat of her own drum- or, maybe in this case, at the sizzle of her own cazuela.

Nonconformism has not always fared well, though. Judith remarks that being dark-skinned, a Latina, and a woman is burdensome and difficult, which only gets further complicated by her unique position as a leader. She notes that White America is prejudiced, but the Latino community in The United States can be just as ignorant, choosing to discriminate based on machismo, race, and class.

As a result, she often
