The 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards ceremony was held last night as part of the video game industry's Dice Summit conference in Las Vegas, NV. Games.com reports that the top honor in the "Social Networking Game of the Year" category went to Zynga's massively popular Facebook game FarmVille.

It was up against PopCap's Bejeweled Blitz, EA/Playfish's Restaurant City and Codebell's Farm Town. With nearly 81 million monthly active players (which Zynga is quick to note has already made it bigger than Twitter), FarmVille is far and away the largest of the bunch and in some ways a shoo-in for the award.

Still, it's yet another feather in the cap for Zynga, who recently raised $180 million in a funding round from Digital Sky Technologies, the Russian venture capital firm thatcelebrates the Resurrection of Jesus, with particular reference to a struggle between Life and Death. The third verse quotes from 1 Corinthians 15, saying that Christ's Atonement for sin has removed the "sting" of Death. The fifth verse compares the sacrifice with that celebrated by Jews in the Pascal Lamb at Passover. The sacrificial "blood" ("Its blood marks our doors") refers to the marking of the doors before the exodus from Egypt. The final stanza recalls the tradition of baking and eating Easter Bread, with the "old leaven" alluding again to the exodus, in contrast to the "Word of Grace", concluding "Christ would ... alone nourish the soul."

In case you’re looking for a more detailed explanation of the Spider Solitaire rules, we can recommend following YouTube video.

Spider is a game that has been around for a very long time. The earliest references we have on print date all the way back to 1746. The game we know as Spider today has most likely been developed around the end of the 18th century.

Some people think that Spider arose as a way of telling peoples fortune in Europe in the Baltic area. Spider Solitaire became popular on the European continent as a way of fortune telling. In Scandinavian countries, solitaire is also known as "Cabale", which is related to cabal, an alternativeinterpretation of the old testament.

We know a game called Patience, which originated in England around the same time as solitaire. Some of the first mentions we have of solitaire in English literature, has French references, which makes a lot of people think that the game originated in France.

These days, people use the names Solitaire and Patience interchangeably, but in the beginning they where widely different games.

During the industrial revolution, Spider Solitaire saw a massive spike in popularity. A lot of new forms of solitaire was developed in that period. Spider was one of them. Other games where Classic Solitaire, Freecell Solitaire and even Russian Solitaire became very popular.

Not many years ago, to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of Microsoft Solitaire, Microsoft hosted a world championship in solitaire.

I'm pretty sure the book was written in the 1950s. I remember thinking that it was strangely accurate and advanced for when it was written. I have been trying to remember this book for the last 10 years because it was open-ended and I believe it was part of a series.pretty good, though not as consistant as the SNES version. Some levels, such as the aforementioned Ryu stage and Zangief's stage have more detail in the backgrounds than either of the other two versions (Zangief's stage has the properly drawn chain from the arcade original, as well as signs on its fence which are missing in the other versions), whilst others have some noticeably inferior texture work, such as those for the ground in the Sagat and Guile stages which are not up to par by comparison (see 1st picture for example, the floor is noticeably more grainy in the Mega Drive port). Guile's stage does however have more of the background elements retained from the arcade, as the couple sitting on the box in the background are


well. The developers had to recreate the music from the arcades from scratch, and whilst doing so changed the musical arrangements about a bit, which in many cases helped to add to the quality and richness of the sound, but in other cases there are a few unfortunate decisions which I feel have had a negative effect on those particular tracks. Some examples which I would consider to have had better music in the Arcade/Mega Drive versions are the main intro, Balrog's stage, Ken's stage, and Sagat's stage. I feel this mainly due to the fact that many of those songs were more rhythm orientated originally, and are now sadly lacking in "punch" and excitement, focusing more on melody and losing their driving beats for stages that shouldis pretty much identical to the SNES in gameplay but has an extra mode on top of it I'm going to give the Mega Drive the gameplay section. PC-Engine - Like the other two this is pretty much the same where gameplay is concerned, and only differs in modes. Unlike the other two console versions however, PC-Engine Street Fighter II is specifically a port of the arcade game "Street Fighter II - Champion Edition", whilst the SNES and Mega Drive games are actually compilations of sorts that include versions of both "Street Fighter II - Champion Edition", and its update "Street Fighter II - Hyper Fighting". Due to the lack of Hyper Fighting this means that the PC-Engine version doesn't have the increased speed modes, and doesn't give

MacEwan University president Deborah Saucier says in a statement that Nakehko Lamothe, 23, "became unwell" after the game at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology on Friday.

He was rushed to Calgary's Foothills Hospital, where he died just before midnight.

Lamothe grew up in the Bigstone Cree Nation in Calling Lake, Alta., and was in his third season with the MacEwan Griffins.

Saucier says Lamothe was a student in the Bachelor of Science program, and had helped the Griffins win back-to-back Alberta Colleges Athletic Association titles in 2017 and 2018.

The number of possible moves then grows exponentially with the following plays. This makes me think about counterpoint. There are analogies between the two disciplines—if one is interested in looking for them—and progress in one field oftentimes is linked to progress in the other.

Take Mark Taimanov—an exceptional pianist and chess player—Jean-Philippe Rameau, Sergei Prokofiev, John Cage, my friends Aldo Clementi and Egisto Macchi.

Interim president Temer says his government focuses on "national salvation" and asks Brazilians to rally behind him.

Brazil's Senate voted to impeach and suspend President Dilma Rousseff after a 20-hour debate on Thursday, putting an end to the 13-year rule of the Workers Party.

The Senate voted 55-22 to put Rousseff, an economist and former Marxist guerrilla, on trial for allegedly misrepresenting the country's financial condition for her advantage ahead of 2014 re-election.

Centrist leader Michel Temer was appointed Brazil's interim President. The trial of Roussef is expected to take at least six months and the chances of her acquittal in the Senate probe are thin.

The opposition, which needs a two-thirds majority to remove Rousseff definitively from power, has all but secured enough firepower to achieve its goal.

Meanwhile, interim president Temersaid his government focused on "national salvation" and asked Brazilians to rally behind him.

"It is urgent we calm the nation and unite Brazil ... Political parties, leaders, organizations and the Brazilian people will cooperate to pull the country from this grave crisis," said Temer, the leader of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party.

The impeachment proceedings against Roussef, who came to power in 2011, were launched in the Congress in December. The opposition accused her of breaking the budget laws to make the economy look healthier than it was.

Immediately after the Senate vote that removed her from power Rousseff disbanded the cabinet. She said the Senate vote reflected a tragic hour for the country, and repeated her innocence.

Mets dump another 6-3 loss on O's Smith throwing error plays a big role in New York's 4-run fifth

O's fall 4 below .500

DH-less O's do little despite having 14 hits

June 25, 1998|By Joe Strauss | Joe Strauss,SUN STAFF

NEW YORK -- The Orioles' familiar and deadly combination of short-lived starting pitching, untimely hitting and a wasted early lead followed them to Flushing last night. The creeping sameness resulted in their second straight 6-3 loss to the New York Mets and further evidence that this club will enter the All-Star break with a losing record.

Before a Shea Stadium crowd of 29,789, the Mets did more with nine hits than the Orioles could do with 14, largely because they created a four-run fifth inning out of several wild pitches and aonly run off him after right fielder Eric Davis was hit by a first-inning pitch. Even that was painful as the ball struck Davis on his right elbow where he is dealing with bone chips.

Davis doubled over but remained in the game long enough to score on Roberto Alomar's one-out ground ball. Barely able to throw, he left the game after 3 1/2 innings.

Orioles manager Ray Miller hoped Smith could piece together a staff left vulnerable by Monday night's rain-marred loss at Camden Yards when Alan Mills, Arthur Rhodes and Armando Benitez were all used. Miller hoped Smith could carry the game for at least six innings. And except for Brian McRae's game-tying home run in the second inning, Smith effectively mixed his off-speed pitches. Still, he crashed


five outs short of Miller's goal.

Smith (0-2) smacked the wall in a familiar place. In his three starts with the Orioles, he has pitched between 4 1/3 and five innings. Smith has surrendered five home runs in his 14 American League innings compared to five home runs in 43 1/3 innings in the National League. Yesterday's twist came from a self-destructive lapse that opened the door for a telling fifth inning that included an error, three wild pitches and a chopped single over a drawn infield.

His collapse began when Reed slapped a one-out single to break a run of nine consecutive batters retired.

Smith then appeared to become unnerved. He wild-pitched Reed to second then allowed Edgardo Alfonzo's single to center field that moved the pitcher to third base.

Withrally went no further.

The Orioles consistently put pressure on Reed. And just as often they failed to capitalize.

After taking their first-inning lead, the Orioles were twice undone by the absence of a designated hitter. Cal Ripken's leadoff double and Chris Hoiles' single created a first-and-third chance with none out in the second inning. But when No. 8 hitter Mike Bordick popped to short, Smith was left to hit for himself. He struck out when unable to get a bunt down. Reed finished the escape by getting Brady Anderson to ground out.

Tied in the fourth inning, third base coach Sam Perlozzo took a daring but calculated risk by sending Hoiles home on Bordick's two-out single to center field.

Perlozzo would not have taken such a risk in the American League.


But with Smith on deck, he dared center fielder McRae to catch Hoiles. McRae did with a one-hop throw that beat the catcher by about five feet.

The Orioles' last best chance against Reed came in the seventh inning when Hoiles and Bordick again led off with consecutive hits. Jeff Reboulet, who replaced Ripken during a double switch the previous inning, struck out. Anderson topped a grounder to first. And right fielder Rich Becker struck out looking.

Through seven innings, nine hits brought the Orioles one run, seven men left on base and a pile of frustration.PRINCETON, NJ -- For the first time, Gallup finds a majority of Americans, 52%, saying the government should not favor any set of values in society, while 44% believe it should promote traditional values. From 1993 through 2004, the majority of Americans consistently favored the government's promoting of traditional values, but views have since been more mixed.

The question is asked as part of Gallup's annual Governance survey, conducted Sept. 6-9 this year. That poll was conducted as the Democratic convention was coming to an end, which may have caused the public to tilt in a slightly more liberal direction.

Gallup has asked about the government's role in morality since 1993. The percentage favoring government promotion of traditional values has been as high as 59%, in early 1996 and in


2001, after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Support for the traditional values position fell to 50% in 2005, and though it has exceeded 50% twice since then -- in 2009 and 2010 -- the 2005 poll seems to have signaled the beginning of a new era in Americans' views on the matter. The shift at that time may have been prompted in part by the unpopularity of the Bush administration and Republican Congress, but has continued as Americans have become more permissive in their attitudes on certain social issues such as gay rights and marijuana use.

Shift More Apparent Among Republicans

As would be expected, Republicans, who generally are more conservative on social issues, widely favor active promotion of traditional values by the government, 65% to 32%.

UN Security Council passed anti-settlement resolution in December with support from Obama administration Netanyahu has said he looked forward to working with Trump to counter any effects of that resolution

The housing projects, on land that the Palestinians seek as part of a future state, had been taken off the Jerusalem


municipality's agenda in December at the last minute at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in order to avoid further censure from the administration of Barack Obama.

The deputy mayor of Jerusalem said the permits for over 560 units in the urban settlements of Pisgat Zeev, Ramat Shlomo and Ramot had been held up until Mr Trump was sworn in.

"I was told to wait until Trump takes office because he has no problem with building in Jerusalem," deputy mayor Meir Turgeman told Israeli army radio.

Mr Turgeman said there were hundreds more units waiting for approval.

Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu meanwhile held their first phone call, which the US President said was "very nice".

Mr Trump emphasised to Mr Netanyahu that Israel-Palestinian peace could only be negotiated directly between thetwo parties, the White House said.

It said the two leaders agreed to continue to closely consult in regional issues such as "threats posed by Iran", and that Mr Trump had invited Mr Netanyahu for a February meeting.

"Many matters face us. The Israeli-Palestinian issue, the situation in Syria, the Iranian threat," Mr Netanyahu earlier said in broadcast remarks at the start of his weekly cabinet meeting.

Senior ministers later voted unanimously to postpone discussion on a bill proposing the annexation of the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim, home to 40,000 Israelis near Jerusalem.

A statement said the proposal would be put on hold until after Mr Netanyahu meets Mr Trump.

Israel's right wing expects Mr Trump's attitude towards settlements built in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — areas Israel captured


in a 1967 war — to be far more supportive than that of his predecessor.

UN sees settlements as illegal

The Palestinians denounced the move to approve the new construction.

"We strongly condemn the Israeli decision to approve the construction," Nabil Abu Rdainah, spokesman for Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, told Reuters.

Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem are seen as illegal under international law and by the United Nations (UN).

Last month, the UN Security Council passed a resolution condemning settlement building.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was one of the only world leaders to criticise the resolution, calling it ''one sided".

Israel views all Jerusalem as is its capital, but most of the world considers its final status a matter for peace negotiations.

The petition alleged that in constructing the underpass the appellee's contractor excavated deep holes close to appellant's property and as a result the walls and other parts of his building cracked and were otherwise damaged. It also alleged that appellant had demanded of the appellee that he institute condemnation proceedings but appellee had failed to do so.
Appellee's demurrer to the petition was overruled and he filed an answer in which he denied that he or his agents excavated deep holes close to the appellee's property, or did anything by which appellant's property which he alleged was more than 250 feet from any right of way of the Highway Department, could have been damaged.
The court below heard the appellant's evidence ore tenus and at


its conclusion struck it out and dismissed appellant's petition for mandamus on the ground that his evidence was too indefinite to prove the cause of any damage that appellant's building may have suffered.
The first story of appellant's building, approximately 90 x 165 feet, was erected in 1953, and a second story was added in 1955 or 1956. The evidence indicates that it was built of cinder blocks and stuccoed, and the architect testified that it was erected under his supervision in accordance with the plans and specifications in a substantial, workmanlike manner. However, in reply to questions by the court, he testified that with those plans in front of him an ordinarily prudent man would put down borings to determine what was beneath the surface and that wasnot done in this case.
This architect testified that there were no cracks in the building at the time it was completed but since then he had observed some cracks on the southwest corner, the east side and at the northwest of the building. He was asked his opinion as to whether there was connection between the cracks and the underpass work and replied, *127 "There is a possibility they could be caused by pumping operations which, in turn, cause settlement." The court asked him what caused the cracks and he replied that he did not think he could answer the question; that he just had an opinion. He then continued:
"Now, what caused the settlement, that I cannot prove. If the pumping operations have caused the settlement under the


materials were carried out of the area by this well pointing and caused a general settlement of the entire area there." He was asked to explain how the moving of water from underground some 240 feet away would cause erratic settling of the building as he had described, and he replied that he did not know, "It could be that the ground is not uniform. It has varying characteristics."
He stated: "In my opinion, a strong probability exists that the work for the underpass could well result in this damage that I saw to the Legum building." However, he said that he had no knowledge "one way or the other of the underpass," and saw the construction of it only to the extent of driving by. He said thatthe cracks in the Legum building were "a little bit abnormal for uniform settlement," and the only way he could explain it was to point to the work at the underpass "as a probability." He could not say how much water would have to be removed to cause the condition in the Legum building, but he said it would be possible to construct the underpass without the damage to the building which he had described, "There are several probabilities which could occur, one of which you would have no damage, of course."
A witness, formerly employed as a salesman by appellant, testified that the building cracked from the pile driving at the underpass. He first observed cracks in a couple of places, he said, and it gradually got worse,


but he did not know how long it was before he saw any more. He said also that there was a continuous pumping operation going on.
Another witness testified that there were two or three pumping operations going on continuously, the exact location of which he did not recall. The pump station was perhaps 200 feet or less from Legum's building. It required the digging of a hole the depth of which he thought was between 28 and 34 feet, he did not recall exactly. He said that during the excavation one of the water mains burst and dumped something like 1.5 million gallons of water in the underpass, which had to be pumped out eventually.
The appellant testified that the cracks in his building became noticeable after the contractorstarted his work, and he made a claim to the Highway Commissioner about it; that the contractor had two or three deep well pumps which were operated continuously through the whole job. He was asked on cross-examination whether he remembered a Mr. Armistead coming to his building in October 1957 and asking him when he first observed the cracks and whether he stated on that occasion that he was unable to state when the cracks first appeared, but that he noticed them before the construction of the underpass started. His reply was, "I don't remember this moment *128 making that statement. I can't tell you I did or did not."
The general contractor who built the original building in 1953 described the location of the cracks in the building


and was asked his opinion as to what caused them. He replied that he assumed they were not there before the underpass was started, that in other cases he had known about where there was considerable pumping "the water carries a little silt with it and lets the ground down," and he did not know what else could have caused the cracks in the Legum building. He stated, however, that he did not know the pattern that water would take when it was moved, and he would have to assume that it would be taken from under this building before it would cause a settling and "If no water was taken out from underneath it, I don't think you would have any settlement." He did not know, heAirports are like petri dishes for humanity's worst traits. Most people are in various states of agitation over endless lines or invasive searches or some perceived slight.

So it seems like an almost hostile environment for the foot-stomping celebration of The Avett Brothers singalong "Ain't No Man." But, as singer Scott Avett told NPR Music in an email, the celebratory track — and the new video he directed for it — are "about a character who is dealing with fear and his journey to do what he was born to do."

As Scott Avett happily sings his way through the song, he observes other passengers — a mother corralling her kids, stony faced business executives, and people of various faiths (a priest, men in


yamakas, several others wearing taqiyahs or hijabs) — before slogging through the ticket line and security for a lengthy pat-down. But when he finally emerges on the other side of the terminal, a large group of smiling fellow travelers joins him for the joyful chorus, almost in defiance of every awful thing one normally expects when it comes to flying.

Scott Avett eventually boards the plane and takes a seat next to his brother Seth, but not before giving a nod to NASCAR's Jimmie Johnson who appears in a cameo as the pilot.

"Ain't No Man" is the first single from The Avett Brothers' upcoming album, True Sadness, due out June 24 on American/Republic Records."Saturday Night Live" spoofed a White House besieged by an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump by opening with Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, huddling with befuddled Cabinet members.

Giuliani, played by Kate McKinnon, declares, "It’s all happening during my busy season, Halloween" before returning later in the cold open as the Joker.

Matthew Broderick appeared as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who says, "Listen, I've been asking around and I think that this whole impeachment thing could be really bad."

Mr. Vice President, Secretary Mike Pompeo is here to see you. #SNL pic.twitter.com/6kI039IgQr — Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) October 6, 2019

Vice President Mike Pence, played by Beck Bennett, asks who told him that.

"Like, America," Pompeo says.

The group agrees to get its story straight regarding the inquiry, which is


focused on Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to investigate a top rival in the 2020 election, former Vice President Joe Biden.

Pence has a question. "Even if they’re not straight now," he asks, "they still could be converted to straight?"

Trump immigration adviser Stephen Miller is portrayed as a snake in a basket who hisses his input.

"Get Nicholas Cage to steal the Constitution and then blame it on immigrants?" Pence asks. "Do you really think that'll work?"

It's Pompeo who seems to have the most wisdom for the White House gang, saying, "Impeachment moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around, you might miss it."

News segment "Weekend Upate" poked holes in Trump's responses to impeachment, including his argument there was no quid pro quo in which the United States"Of Mice and Men," Che says, "I don’t know how to say this, but are we sure it’s OK to make fun of this guy?"

Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, played by McKinnon, appeared on "Weekend Update" to defend herself against a far-right conspiracy theory that she had sexual liaisons with a 24-year-old former Marine.

"That’s Elizabeth Warren's vibe for sure," she says. "Transactional sex with a younger man."

New featured player Bowen Yang made a splash as a Chinese trade representative giving his side of the story on the Trump administration's trade war with China.

He says the administration's efforts to get foreign countries to investigate Joe Biden will go nowhere without the texting capabilities of iPhones, assembled in China.

And he urges Trump to keep the tariffs coming, because China is tough:


time when King Leopold II of Belgium employed mercenaries to enslave, maim and murder the indigenous people of the Congo in his pursuit of natural rubber. Learning that a writer of Shawl's caliber was undertaking so monumental a work at novel-length was thrilling. Since then I've followed every scrap of information about the novel that would become Everfair.

Everfair chooses as its historical point of divergence the moment when the Fabian Society — a real-life British society that gave rise to the Labour Party and was involved in founding The New Statesman magazine — decides not to endow a college (which would have become our world's London School of Economics) and opts instead to use its wealth to purchase vast tracts of land from King Leopold and create asafe haven for refugees fleeing his tyranny. The Fabians partner with African-American missionaries to found the nation of Everfair within the borders of Leopold's Congo — on land stolen from its indigenous people, led by King Mwende and his favorite lady, Queen Josina. At first, King Mwende's interests dovetail with those of the settlers, especially as they work together to develop the technological prowess and intelligence network that will protect them from European powers — but eventually tensions over Everfair's foundation and operation threaten to tear the fledgling nation apart.

While 'Everfair' dwells very thoroughly in descriptions of setting, mechanics, dress, minutiae, it skims very lightly where relationships, conversations, and motivations are concerned.

The scope and ambition of this book is immense. Shawl has marshalled a wealth of research in


book, where I could see interesting juxtapositions of chapters — young Lisette Toutournier discovering the freedom a bicycle grants her in France, followed by Reverend Thomas Jefferson Wilson confronting the horrors that made that bicycle possible — but towards the middle and end, Everfair feels like one long, slow pan across space and time, insufficiently anchored in characters whose interactions resemble a sequence of vignettes set against the backdrop of Shawl's carefully designed world. I was reminded of the book's dirigibles: sailing over a landscape, dumping emotional ballast and then rising higher until the people are indistinguishable from the topography.

An epigraph to the novel says, "Look for a long time at that which pleases you, and a longer time at that which gives you pain." It's an importantTHE INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO MOVE QUICKLY. I WANT THEM TO STOP THIS NO SPANISH POLICY. Reporter: SO STUDENTS KNOW

HEMPSTEAD, Texas -

The principal of the Hempstead's middle school is on paid administrative leave while the district investigates whether she tried to ban students from speaking Spanish in the classroom.

A school district spokeswoman tells Local 2 Investigates the district does not have such a policy but confirmed some type of announcement was made over the school's public address system in mid-November.

"What I can tell you is that an announcement was made. The content of that announcement is still under investigation," Hempstead Independent School District spokesperson Laurie Bettis told Local 2's Jace Larson.

Bettis said the administrator, who Local 2 has confirmed is Principal Amy Lacey, was put on leave Nov 26.


Bettis did not know how long the investigation would last.

The Mexican American Legal and Educational Fund (MALDEF) recently wrote a letter to the school saying the district could face legal action if the district enacted such a policy, saying it violated the equal protection cause of the United States Constitution.

"The anti-Spanish policy also invites potential challenges under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects 'pure speech' of prisoners, employees and, of course, students," David Hinojosa, of MALDEF, wrote in a letter to the school district's superintendent dated Nov. 21.

The school responded with a letter telling MALDEF that no such policy exists.

Bolland returning for Game 4, Seabrook out

by
Dan Rosen
/ NHL.com

CHICAGO -- Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville announced Tuesday morning that defenseman Brent Seabrook will not play in Game 4 against Vancouver due to an upper-body injury but Dave Bolland will return to Chicago's lineup for the first time since suffering a concussion on March 9.

Bryan Bickell will also return after missing Game 3 with a wrist injury.

Neither Seabrook nor Bolland skated with the Blackhawks at United Center in the morning. Quenneville said Bolland was just preparing for the game. He said Seabrook is still sore from getting hit by Raffi Torres in the second period of Game 3 on Sunday and labeled him as day to day.

The Blackhawks, of course, face elimination Tuesday with the Canucks up 3-0 in


the best-of-7 series.

The news on Seabrook came as a surprise considering he said Monday during an impromptu press conference that his body was sore, but he was fine and was going to play Tuesday. Quenneville wouldn't say if his condition went south over night, but the decision not to play him was made Tuesday morning.

Seabrook was crushed by a shoulder-to-head hit from Torres 12:14 into the second period Sunday. The play resulted in an interference penalty for Torres and the Hawks scored a power-play goal. Seabrook returned to play one more shift in the second period roughly 90 seconds after Patrick Sharp scored, but he was hit twice more and went to the dressing room with roughly five minutes to play.

He did return for the third period andsee how it works out for them."

Bolland hasn't played since suffering a concussion when Tampa Bay defenseman Pavel Kubina hit him in the head on March 9. He has remained optimistic that he would play in this series and Quenneville said he has been ready to go for a while.

"Watching him practice and watching him skate, we think he's been ready to play for a while," Quenneville said. "It's a matter of getting him going, getting him clearance to play. He feels really good about himself, he feels that he can handle responsibility, and he's going to get some."

Quenneville said the Hawks gave no hesitation to play Bolland despite the physicality of the series to date.

"He's ready to play," Quenneville said. "He's a competitor. He likes that kind


of game and he finds ways where he can be effective, use his intelligence and his instincts. He likes having a challenge as well."

Bolland has been a thorn in the Canucks' side in previous playoff series. He is usually matched up against the Sedins and has done a good job of frustrating them and limiting their production.

Henrik and Daniel Sedin combined for 3 goals in last year's six-game series against the Blackhawks while Bolland had 2 goals, including one shorthanded. Henrik showed signs of frustration after a while, but he said that won't happen Tuesday night if Bolland tries to get under his skin.

"It's been the same way the whole year and it's not going to change tonight," Henrik Sedin said. "We get a lot of guys doingwalls of her childhood mansion is not always as it seems. After several bad business deals at the hands of her father, she finds herself penniless and caring for him. No help. No money. And she finds herself doing the inevitable to save her father...all that the hands of Gabriel Miller.

The Endgame series is a trickle-fed plot that has the whole feeling of a chess game. The king. His queen. Protecting her within his castle. Pawns. The Rook. But this book specifically delves into Avery's big love- Ancient Greek Mythology. I'll be honest and admit I was a bit lost in some of the whole Zeus and such comparisons. With that being such a focus towards the end, it slightly deterred my enjoyment of the final several pages


of the East, to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know.”

The WHO report ‘Health Risk Assessment from the nuclear accident after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami based on preliminary dose estimation’ noted, however, that the estimated risk for specific cancers in certain subsets of the population in Fukushima Prefecture has increased and, as such, it calls for long term continued monitoring and health screening for those people.

Experts estimated risks in the general population in Fukushima Prefecture, the rest of

But I bet you read that as the US government "knowing" that anyone within 80 km was in danger. Didn't you?

18. You should go there and tell the people

That it is perfectly safe there. That the 160,000 people can go home now.

But you are right, the plume actually spread around the world in a few days.

The advice to Americans within the 80 kilometers was given after a few days of the first releases, and was based upon real data of radiation found in the area.
Based in part on NARAC projections and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidance, on March 16, theand the people never knew it because it had no effect on them. There have already been as many as ten kids in Fukushima who had thyroid cancers caught by screening that they never would have received otherwise.

No need for "talking points". We're not talking about hundreds of thousands of people here... we're talking about a worst-case group that might not include anyone. And a risk of getting something that isn't particularly difficult to deal with.

the same camp as climate change deniers.

I prefer the words of Alexey Yablokov, member of the Russian academy of sciences, and adviser to President Gorbachev at the time of Chernobyl: "When you hear 'no immediate danger' then you should run away as far and as fast as you can."

Five years ago I visited the still highly contaminated areas of Ukraine and the Belarus border where much of the radioactive plume from Chernobyl descended on 26 April 1986. I challenge chief scientist John Beddington and environmentalists like George Monbiot or any of the pundits now downplaying the risks of radiation to talk to the doctors, the scientists, the mothers, children and villagers who have been left with the consequences of a major nuclear accident.

14. On a tangent, but related...

WhenChernobyl happened in 1986, I was still living in my hometown in north-central Italy. The radiation fallout went a bit everywhere, but it was especially concentrated (partly due to geography and partly due to weather) in and around Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy (of which Bologna is the seat).

There are plenty of studies online that show the correlation of exposure to the Chernobyl fallout and high levels of cesium and other isotopes in breast milk, etc.

Anyway, to make a long story short, my mom started having some problems with her thyroid in the late 1990s. By then, we were in North Carolina. After consulting various local specialists, she was referred to Duke Medical Center and finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which is a rather unusual diagnosis

Four months before Election Day, Sujala Chittor, an incoming junior at St. Mary's Academy, found herself in an unfamiliar place: a vast call center for the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign.

From a young age, Sujala's interests have been motivated by impassioned female role models like the women in the movie "Hidden Figures." She saw aspects of those successful women in people she worked with at the call center, who she felt were "on the verge of breaking glass ceilings."

The phrase describes a woman's limitlesspotential in a formerly male dominated world. Sujala, 16, aspires to live up to it.

At the call center, Sujala dialed page after page of telephone numbers in the pursuit of potential Democratic voters. She was mesmerized by the repetitive motion and inspired by the different people she reached.

Her optimistic approach to life comes from her belief that people have to make the best of even the worst circumstances. She emailed the campaign team multiple times of her own volition to get involved at the call center.

She reeled in her own friends to do the same and bolster the effort.

By embracing these growing responsibilities and opportunities, Sujala made it clear that young people have power, too.

She continued to support Hillary Clinton, even after Donald Trump won the presidential election.


And although her candidate didn't win, Sujala didn't let it limit her voice.

The day after inauguration, she was among the 100,000 people who participated in the Women's March on Portland.

"We wanted to show we had a resistance movement ready if needed," Sujala said. "We're not going to give up."

In the future, Sujala intends to take on more of a leadership role in a possible presidential campaign of Elizabeth Warren in 2020, as well as organizing political events in college.

It was not uncommon during the Progressive Era of the United States (1890-1920) to find political journalists who immersed themselves into the study of history in order to find solutions for their present-day social and political problems. As they tried to alleviate social ills, caused by unregulated markets, inequality, excessive wealth and corruption, many of these reformers searched their nation’s past for answers. Herbert Croly, for example, in his influential The Promise of American Life (1909), ventured forth into studying the conflict between Thomas


Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton over the role of government in a popular democracy in order to discover how the United States could cope with the challenges of the twentieth century.

Michael Wolraich, a prolific political journalist, finds himself here in a similar position. He emphasizes that the grassroots politics of the Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party movements present similarities with the ways in which the Progressive movement functioned more than a century ago. At the same time, he finds that the Occupy movement’s rhetoric is almost identical to the Progressive language of reform. As a result, he makes a compelling argument on the everlasting relevance of the Progressive Era: “By returning to the moment when America broke into two ideological factions,” he writes, “we can see morefound receptive ears within the ranks of the Democratic Party which had experienced its own reform movement under William Jennings Bryan’s populism.

In the end, their crusade caused a long-standing realignment in American politics. The old division between North and South was replaced by an ideological division between conservatives and progressives. This realignment led to the split of the Republican Party, which saw its former leader and ex-president, Theodore Roosevelt, running again for the presidency as the leader of a third party, the Progressive or Bull Moose Party, in the elections of 1912. In fact, these elections verified the pervasiveness of Progressivism: Both Roosevelt’s new founded party and the Democratic Party, under Woodrow Wilson, entered the arena with a progressive platform while the conservatives, gathered around the Republican president


William Taft, had also adopted parts of the reform agenda: Taft himself was an active trust-buster during his presidency. The result of the elections saw a Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson, implementing many of the reforms that the Republican rebels had passionately fought for.

Wolraich brilliantly recounts the transformation of Roosevelt from a moderate reformer president to a radical progressive agitator and the conflicts between the Progressives, gathered around La Follette, and the conservatives in Congress. Impressive figures of a long gone America come back to life: Joseph Cannon, the imperial Speaker of the House of Representatives, chewing his cigar while battling the reformers who tried to strip him of his excessive powers, conservative senator Nelson Aldrich, who became the unexpected father of the Federal Reserve and Robert La Follette,which includes the same level of intrigue, passion and exuberant, larger-than-life personalities.

With this construction, liquid voided into the core is initially quickly absorbed by the fast acting SAP section, whereupon the section with the slow acting, but high absorbency SAP desorbs the section with the fast acting SAP to securely contain the voided liquid therein and prevent any leakage out of the core.and “disturbing,” said her lawyer, Robert W.

Retirement Marks Marine Couple’s 21-Year Careers

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan, May 24, 2010  After 21 years of service, Master Sgts. Richard and Sabrina Bryan ended their Marine Corps careers during a retirement ceremony at the parade deck here May 17.

Marine Corps Master Sgts. Richard and Sabrina Bryan salute during their retirement ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, May 17, 2010.

The Bryans spent nearly 10 of those 21 years of service together as husband and wife. Throughout deployments, military exercises and theIt seemed like a sure-fire hit, didn't it? Cast Sean Connery as the lead against a solid supporting cast in a big budget adaptation of one of the best comic books(which itself was based on some of the longest lasting and most revered characters from classic literature) released in the last decade. Let Stephen Norrington, who lensed one of the best comic book to film adaptations as of late (Blade) direct the film and let James Robinson, a man well versed in comic books based on his past experience, write the project. Yeah, sign me up. Sounds good.

Connery plays Allan Quatermain, adventurer extraordinaire, is sent for by a British loyalist to how to stop a mysterious madman known as The Fantom, a maniac in a metal mask who


these random attacks orchestrated by the sinister Fantom, they discover that there's a lot more involved in stopping these evil plans than simply smacking around a few bad guys and running around in nifty vehicles. It's going to take their full cooperation and all of their combined powers to save the world, and even then it's not going to be anywhere close to easy.

So it would seem that the film has a solid premise and a great cast and crew behind the scenes and in front of the camera making it all come together. Like I said, a can't miss hit, right? Well, maybe not. Yeah, the movie did alright at the box office, it did make a profit and would seem ripe for a franchise (rumors alreadywrong, Sean Connery has been a phenomenal actor in the past. The Man Who Would Be King, The Name Of The Rose, The Untouchables - all excellent performances indeed. In the eyes of many people, he is the definitive James Bond (though I've got to admit, I'm one of the rare breed that prefer Roger Moore). But here, he's tired. He walks through this performance with a slick wink of the eye to the camera and seems to be putting in as little effort as possible. Whereas in the past he's made his characters his own, here he does nothing new and it ultimately ends up being rather sad.

Luckily, the supporting cast, save for the goofy looking Jekyll/Hyde thing I already mentioned, is quite good. I've already mentioned


needed background on some of the more secondary characters in the film).

Next up are two full length commentary tracks. It's interesting to note that neither the film's director, Steven Norrington, nor the leading man, Sean Connery, are anywhere to be found on either of these tracks. What that says about their feeling on the end result, I don't know, but I did figure it was worth mentioning that they're not really involved at all with the DVD release it would seem. Don Murphy, Shane West, Trevor Albert, Jason Flymng and Tony Curran are on deck for the first track, as they discuss their respective roles in the production and their thoughts on the final product. While these aren't exactly the A-list stars you may have hoped to encounterlook and feel of the sets, costumes and effects used in the film. While this track is a little dryer than the first one it's still very informative, and obviously if you're intrigued by the technical aspects of effects work and filmmaking then you're going to get more out of it than someone who isn't. I eat this type of material up and had a good time with this track.

The final extra is a thirty-three second special message that isn't of any real value. Suspiciously absent is the films trailer. Maybe Norrington and Connery took it with them.

Final Thoughts:

Love it, hate it, or regard it with sheer indifference, there's no denying that Fox has done an excellent job bringing this title to DVD. The audio and video quality

Kansas City, KS (KCTV) — A 10-year-old girl gathered with her family to watch the Kansas City Royals take on the San Francisco Giants in Game 5 of the World Series.

As a hail of bullets pierced her grandmother’s home, she bolted rather than jumping to the floor as other family members did. She died as she ran for a back room.

Police and family members believe the bullets were intended for the child’s 19-year-old brother. Numerous KCTV5 viewers have reported that the gunman’s girlfriend stood up for her boyfriend in posts on Facebook and she and others discussed the motivationbehind the shooting. Detectives are aware of the postings, but no arrests have been made as of Monday night.

Machole Stewart, who was known as Coco, and her family had gathered inside the home in the 1400 block of New Jersey. Just as Giants ace Madison Bumgarner was throwing out the first pitch, someone sprayed bullets over a two-block area, striking vehicles and Machole’s home. Machole was snuggled on the couch with her mother, who ordered her children to get down.

The woman, her 19-year-old son and a 16-year-old child jumped to the floor as the girl jumped up and ran for a back room. She was hit and died inside her own house before her horrified family members.

In 2017, the Trump Administration removed these questions from the survey, stating that they had first been introduced as part of a pilot test and were no longer needed. However, that initial inclusion provided plenty of data that pointed to some dismal news for the LGBT community. LGBT seniors relied more on the services provided by the Old Americans Act than heterosexuals. This was often due to a familial and social disconnect as well as higher poverty rates.

The survey also showed that LGBT seniors of color faced higher levels of discrimination, which often also correlated with lower educational levels and household incomes.

called upon again and again to represent the estate's interest. This is especially true for estates that count artistic or intellectual properties amongst their assets. Third parties may seek permission to utilize such assets in the future, and it is the job of the estate executor to ensure that any use is in accordance with the desires conveyed by an estate's testator.

Managing that use can often result in contention. Such is what is currently happening with the estate of the late novelist Harper Lee. In 2015, Lee came to an agreement with a producer to create a stage adaption of her landmark work . She had entered into a similar agreement with another production company back in 1969.

After becoming adopted as a primary trainer by the USAF, the United States Navy and Marine Corps adopted it as well. Although the Air Force phased out the aircraft from primary pilot training by the early 1960s, continuing use only for limited training of special operations aircrews and for primary training of select foreign military personnel, the aircraft continued to be used as a primary trainer by the Navy (and by default, the Marine Corps and Coast Guard) well into the early 1980s.

The largest single concentration of this aircraft was employed by the U.S. Navy at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida, in the training of student naval aviators. The T-28's service career in the U.S. military ended with the completion of the phase-in of theof. He further said on Netaji’s call, many youths from the Andamans had dedicated themselves to the freedom of India.

“Remembering and honouring our heroes helps strengthen our feeling of integration. The government is making efforts to highlight every glorious chapter of our history,” the prime minister said.

He released a commemorative postal stamp, coin, and First Day Cover to mark the 75th anniversary of the hoisting of Tricolour on Indian soil by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

PM Modi said the government was committed to developing the Islands in accordance with the requirements of the environment. He also said that special attention will be given to sectors such as tourism, food processing and information technology, as part of industrial development.

The Prime Minister said that the government will do everything to make


the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as self-sufficient as possible. He also talked about the expansion of Port Blair dockyard which will enable maintenance of big ships. He has also sought a report within two weeks on the condition of rural roads in the Islands. He said that once the report has been examined, the government will give whatever assistance is possible.

This year in May, BJP leader LA Ganesan from Tamil Nadu had raised this demand in the Rajya Sabha to change the name of Havelock island in the Andaman. He said that Havelock had fought against Indians during 1857 revolt. Therefore, naming a place after a person who had fought against Indians was a matter of shame.Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park

The Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park, commonly known as the Rajiv Gandhi Zoo or Katraj Zoo, is located in Katraj, Pune district, Maharashtra State, India. It is managed by the Pune Municipal Corporation. The  zoo is divided into three parts: an animal orphanage, a snake park, and a zoo, and includes the  Katraj Lake.

In 1953 the Pune Municipal Corporation created Peshwe Park on about  where Madhavrao Peshwe had established a private menagerie in 1770. Located in the heart of the city at the base of Parvati Hill, this zoo exhibited animals in traditional cages.

History

The real roots of cliff diving are found at Kaunolu, on the Hawaiian island of Lana´i.

Back in 1770, Kahekili (1710-1794) the last independent king of Maui and chief of four islands was famous for “lele kawa”, which in English means: Leaping off high cliffs and entering the water
feet first without a splash.

In order to prove their courage and loyalty, Kahekili forced his nakoa (warriors) to follow his example, jumping of the leap into the royal waters at Kaunolu.

One generation later, under King Kamehameha I, the Hawaiians practiced "lele kawa" in competition. Judgment was passed on the style of the dive and the amount of splash on entry.

Kahekili's leap at Kaunolu has always been regarded as holy, although the tradition of lele kawa became forgotten for a long time.

Myths from Acapulco

La Quebrada, or “The Break”, is the name of the famous rock in Acapulco.

In 1934, the 13 year old Enrique Apac Rios jumped off for the first time in history.

Several mortal injuries and exaggerated spot heights have made a mystical tourist attraction out of a former fishing village.

In fact, the top level dive is 26.5 meters high, the lower level 21 meters.

The rock profile together with the shallow water (maximum 4 m depth) are making this jump extremely dangerous.

Preferably, the envelope is inflatable at least to some extent.
Preferably, the deodorising filter is secured to the envelope wall in a region around the first aperture.
Preferably, the pressure relief valve is secured to the envelope wall in a region around the second aperture.
The first aperture may be an inlet aperture for gas entering the sub-envelope, and the second aperture may be an exit aperture for venting gas externally. Alternatively, the functions of the apertures may be swapped.

California, 147. The decree was made on a bill to quiet title, upon the following facts, which appeared at the trial of the case. The plaintiff is the owner of the "Summit Quartz Mine" in California. The apex of a vein runs through this mine between and nearly parallel with the surface side lines. This vein dips under the easterly side line and enters the adjoining land of the defendants, known as the Toman ranch. The controversy concerns the portion of the vein under the defendants' land. The main ground of defense is that the end lines of the mine are not parallel but converge towards each other in the direction of the ranch, and that the plaintiff's patent was granted on November 25, 1873, when the actof possession and enjoyment of the same and of 1,165 56/100 linear feet of the vein throughout its entire depth, although it may enter the land adjoining, with similar rights in other veins having their apex within the surface bounds; the extralateral or outside rights in the veins being confined, as by the act of 1872, § 3, to such portions as lie between vertical planes drawn downward through the end lines of the survey at the surface, and so continued in their own direction as to intersect the exterior part of the veins. In short, the patent purports to convey the rights claimed by the plaintiff in this suit, and *269 also the additional rights that would have been gained by a location and patent under the


act of 1872 alone. The defendants derive title from later patents issued under the laws of the United States concerning the sale of agricultural land, and admit that, if the plaintiff's patent conveyed what it purported to convey, then, subject to a question to be mentioned later, the plaintiff must prevail.
Before the act of 1872 it was not required that the end lines should be parallel; 118 U.S. 208; and when, with some dissent, it was decided that that requirement of that act made a condition to the right of a patentee to follow his vein outside of the vertical planes drawn through his side lines, the decision was confined in terms to cases where the location was made since the passage of the act. 118 U.S. 208.rights had been acquired within the meaning of the act. It is said that the survey of the mineral patent was not approved or payment made to the United States until after the passage of the act of 1872. But the location had been made and the proceedings under the act of 1866 so far advanced as to exclude adverse claims. The locator had done all that he could do, and we are satisfied that the act of 1872 intended to treat parties that were in that position as having rights that were to be preserved. If Congress were unrestricted by the Constitution the word "rights" still would be the natural word to express the relation of persons to this kind of property where the facts required the

Sucking: A Love Story

From the moment my son was born, the one and only thing he asked of the world was that it give him something to suck. Among the very first photos I took of him, there's a shot that foretells the next half year of his life. His pink-gray hand, wrinkled and fuzzy, takes up almost all the foreground. It's expertly splayed with tension, as if he'd practiced jazz hands in the womb. In the background, slightly out of focus,was not enough to moor him. I remember a morning when he was teething on his left hand in his crib and he was so amazed by my walking into his room—so amazed that there were people besides him in the world—that he immediately tried to make room for the other hand.

Both hands! The horror! To the poor reader of Good Housekeeping a century ago, the child might have seemed ruined already.

You can live in the past, but you can't raise a child there. Today it seems ludicrous to have been so worked up about a habit like thumb-sucking. The anxieties are too far back and too foreign. They're incomprehensible, but to the helpless parents of the time they were all too comprehensible. As a helpless parent of
