A police report, citing Border Patrol intelligence, states that Martin Alejandro Cota-Monroy stole 400 pounds of marijuana and some meth from the PEI-Estatales/El Chapo drug trafficking organization, shortly before he was bludgeoned, stabbed and then decapitated in a suburban Phoenix apartment last October — a gruesome killing that police say was meant to send a message that anyone who betrays the traffickers will get the same treatment.

Polgár was born on 23 July 1976 in Budapest, to a Hungarian Jewish family.[10]
Polgár and her two older sisters, Grandmaster Susan and International Master
Sofia, were part of an educational experiment carried out by their father
László Polgár, in an attempt to prove that children could make exceptional
achievements if trained in a specialist subject from a very early age.[11]
"Geniuses are made, not born," was László's thesis. He and his wife Klára
educated their three daughters at home, with chess as the specialist
subject.[12] László also taught his three daughters the international language
Esperanto. They received resistance from Hungarian authorities as home-
schooling was


not a "socialist" approach. They also received criticism at the
time from some western commentators for depriving the sisters of a normal
childhood.

Traditionally, chess had been a male-dominated activity, and women were often
seen as weaker players, thus advancing the idea of a Women's World
Champion.[13] However, from the beginning, László was against the idea that
his daughters had to participate in female-only events. "Women are able to
achieve results similar, in fields of intellectual activities, to that of
men," he wrote. "Chess is a form of intellectual activity, so this applies to
chess. Accordingly, we reject any kind of discrimination in this respect."[14]
This put the Polgárs in conflict with the Hungarian Chess Federation of the
day, whose policy was for women to play in women-only tournaments. Polgár's
older sister, Susan, first fought the bureaucracy by playing inThe McGowan Government has been pushing Rottnest Island hard as a WA tourist destination and it is paying dividends.

Almost 770,000 people visited Rottnest in 2018, a 15 per cent year-on-year increase in numbers.

The visitor growth is so rapid, it's fast closing in on the target set just five years ago of achieving 800,000 annual visitors by 2034.

Meeting that benchmark 15 years early may be a financial success, but is the island's infrastructure and natural environment ready to receive that many visitors so soon?

Quokka selfies spearhead marketing blitz

Rottnest Island has been a key plank in Tourism WA's two-year action plan and the marketing blitz has been hard to ignore

It kicked off with a visit by tennis star Roger Federer in late 2017, which proved a marketing ace.

selfie in December 2017 attracted international attention to the island. ( Instagram: Roger Federer )

Federer's #quokkaselfie Instagram post generated half a million likes and made headlines around the world.

Since then, Tourism Minister Paul Papalia has made more than 20 media statements about the island.

A new ferry operator has been added, ferry tickets have been discounted, new businesses and recreational activities were added, and there have even been fishing clinics with a football star.

But how many tourist ventures, and tourists, can Rottnest Island accommodate without sacrificing the environment of this class-A reserve?

This question is especially relevant when it's Rottnest's clean and relatively unspoilt surroundings that are the biggest tourist drawcard.

Mr Papalia said theper cent of the island's power has been generated by renewable sources, including a newly installed solar panel plant. The remainder is met by diesel powered generators.

Mr Papalia said it was possible the RIA would propose a visitor capacity limit in the future.

"Everything done here complies with the obligations of one of the best governance regimes in the world," he said. "That is a good thing people can be comfortable about."

New accommodation 30 years in the making

Two new developments on Rottnest will not only increase visitor numbers, but also add to the pressure on this infrastructure.

On March 1, the first new accommodation offering in 30 years will open for business.

Visitors to Rottnest will


soon be able to stay in premium "glamping" accommodation. ( ABC News: West Matteeussen )

Under a 20-year lease arrangement, 83 "glamping" eco-tents have been built on the northern side of the island, at Pinky's Beach.

The RIA is hoping the new accommodation dampens criticism that the island's self-contained units are expensive and at times difficult to book — housing in peak periods needs to be booked 18 months in advance.

It proclaims the 2.8-hectare development — which includes a pool, restaurant and bar — will be a "game changer".

Church History

It was founded in 1861.

The Greek community of Manchester has its roots in the early part of the 19th century. Greek merchants, many especially from the island of Chios, arrived soon after the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire (1821) and established


themselves in the area where the church now stands. The community had almost certainly begun to organise itself by about 1831, and in 1843 had a place of worship on Cheetham Hill Road. At some point it had a chapel on Wellington Street.

In 1848 a meeting in the York Tavern approved a revised church constitution, which was revised again in 1851, and in 1860 the Annunciation Church in Manchester was built in classical style. It was consecrated in 1861. The building was put out to competition, and the winning design was by the architects Clegg and Knowles. The building, the oldest purpose-built Orthodox church in Great Britain, is a classical basilica - reflecting Greek pride in the classical period and celebrating the liberation of the nation from TurkishAnti-bodysnatching grill, Saint Joseph's Cemetery

In the early 1800s many people in Ireland and Britain feared the activities of grave robbers who stole the bodies of the recently buried. The body snatchers were known as 'resurrection men'. Some of the grave robbers were looking for valuables which might have been buried with the corpses but many stole the bodies to supply doctors who were interested in human anatomy. The anatomists were frustrated at the lack of bodies for their investigations.

Different means were used to thwart the activities of the 'resurrection men'. They included burying bodies in backyards or in cellars until the corpses could no longer be used for anatomical research, mounting armed guards over recently buried bodies, or erecting anti-bodysnatching grills over graves. The photo shows an example


of such a grill in Saint Joseph's Cemetery in Ballyphehane.

The Anatomy Act of 1832, which allowed the bodies of paupers who died in workhouses to be used for anatomical research, helped to end the activities of the body snatchers.

Burke and Hare, the two most notorious grave robbers, were active in Edinburgh in the 1820s. They eventually turned to murder rather than grave robbing to supply the anatomists with bodies.

Because of Kuwait’s somewhat tenuous history, there is not much in the way of classical literature originating there. Kuwait has, in recent years, produced several prominent contemporary writers. There is also evidence that Kuwaiti culture has long been interactive with English and French literature. Some of the translators include Yaqoub Al-Hamad, Fathil
Khalaf, poet Suleiman Al-Khulaifi, and Mahmoud Tawfeeq Ahmad who translated a number of short French plays by Molière.

Writers
 Ismail Fahd Ismail (born 1940) was one of the first Kuwaiti writers to be taken seriously in the Arab world. Ismail Fahd Ismail has written over 20 novels and numerous short-story collections.

Hockey East coaches have informed their athletic directors they would like to return to the 11-team playoff format next season.

The coaches, who met recently during the annual American Hockey Coaches Association in Naples, Florida, want to include all league teams and scrap the eight-team format used this season.

Hockey East had included all teams in the playoffs for five seasons before the athletic directors changed it.

University of Maine head coach Red Gendron said the vote among the coaches to include all 11 teams was nearly unanimous.

“Our principal rationale was the unbalanced schedule,” Gendron said.

Hockey East teams play 24 league games. They play six teams twice and four teams three times.

The athletic directors will vote on the playoff format at their meeting next month.

Under the 11-team format, the top fiveteams earned first-round byes and the bottom six played a best-of-three first round series. The three survivors advanced to a best-of-three quarterfinal series.

Last season, the postseason began with the quarterfinals.

Hockey East and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association were the only two conferences among the six in Division I that didn’t include all of their teams in the playoffs. In the 10-team WCHA, eight of 10 teams qualified.

Two leagues, the National College Hockey Conference and the Big Ten, have eight and seven teams, respectively.

Following the Hockey East quarterfinals, the two semifinal games and the championship game were held the following weekend at TD Garden in Boston.

In the unbalanced Hockey East schedule last season, last-place Merrimack College played three games apiece against league regular-season champion Massachusetts, Northeastern and Providence, who


in Washington rather than Syria: The U.S. Treasury Department has been sitting on the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) waiver for the Syrian Democratic Council for four years.

Opposition groups in Syria can be an alphabet soup of acronyms but, in short, the Syrian Democratic Council is the umbrella organization for pro-American Syrian Kurdish militias like the People’s Protection Units (YPG), the all-female Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), and the Syrian Democratic Forces.

When I first visited northeastern Syria in January 2014, U.S. diplomats had refused to talk to the Syrian Kurdish opposition out of deference to Turkey. The United States reconsidered its position due to both Kurds’ effectiveness against the Islamic State and Turkey’s double-dealing on terrorism. The United States began talking to the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), thepolitical wing of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), in December 2015, and almost immediately, the SDC applied for a U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) waiver so that they could hire American companies to participate in reconstruction and so that they could spend their own money in the United States. The SDC does not ask for handouts: one of the biggest differences between my most recent trip and my first is that the oil derricks between Qamishli and the Tigris River are now operating but absent a waiver, the SDC cannot legally spend money in the United States or elsewhere.

It is unclear whether inertia or a misguided strategy motivates OFAC to sit for years on the pending SDC waiver: The group is pro-Western and cooperates


closely with Washington. The Treasury Department previously granted the Syrian National Council, the political arm of the Free Syrian Army, a waiver even though extremists and terrorists have infiltrated the Free Syrian Army. In contrast, U.S. military members in Syria trust the SDF more than local partners in Iraq or Afghanistan; there has not been a single instance of SDF men or women turning on American mentors.

The Treasury Department’s inaction not only handicaps diplomacy but also undercuts U.S. strategy.

Isolating Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remains a core U.S. interest. The Kurds dislike Assad: He voided citizenship papers Kurds need for school and employment, and imprisoned Kurdish activists. However, given Turkey’s support for Islamist radicals and its anti-Kurdish ethnic cleaning in areas of Syria the Turkish army occupies, Syrian Kurdsfear Turkey more. Simply put, Treasury’s failure is pushing pro-American Kurds back toward Assad.

Numerous diplomats castigate the Iraqi government for its failure to reconstruct Mosul after it was damaged first by Islamic State conquest and then its liberation. Diplomats fear frustration could fuel Islamic State resurgence. The same is now true with Raqqa, where frustration is palpable. The only difference is that if Raqqa erupts, the blame will not be on a foreign government, but on the glacial pace of the U.S. government’s own bureaucracy.

The raw, unvarnished quality of much of Elliott Smith's songwriting and recordings earned him a devoted following, for whom today marks a sad anniversary: It was 10 years ago that Smith, 34, died in Los Angeles from stab wounds to the chest. The now notorious coroner's report was inconclusive on Smith's cause of death. But among friends, there would be no mistaking the reason.

Smith was living in Los Angeles when it happened. But it was Portland, according to author William Todd Schultz, where Smith's lo-fi, melancholic vision took root. Schultz, whose book, "Torment Saint: The Life of Elliott Smith" was recently released, called Portland "the site of his artistic flowering."

"It was all part of this really happening, vibrant, creative Portland scene," Schultz said. "Just a really smart, artisticallyminded, thoughtful group of people. It was quite the zeitgeist of Portland in the early nineties."

I recently drove around Portland with Schultz, visiting a few landmark Smith locations, including Dot's, a place Smith frequented, and where a lyric from the song Half Right was born. To hear the story behind the lyric, watch the video.

It's well known here and beyond that Smith liked to frequent the local dive bars in Portland, where he often sat alone and wrote, and many of those haunts are still kicking. The houses where Smith lived and recorded appear deceptively pristine now. Interest in Smith, who solidly lays claim to some strands in Portland's musical DNA, is unrelenting.

Schultz gave a reading over the weekend at Live Wire, where he chatted with host Luke

No failure was more spectacular, however, than the widely reported Netflix service outage on Christmas Eve. It wasn't spectacular because of any technical reason, but because that has to be the worst timing ever, and it led to multiple published news stories on "the dangers of the cloud" and the "unreliability of the cloud".

These stories are less than useless. Yes, most cloud services still have reliability issues. Almost everyone who is serious about adopting the cloud, however, takes these issues into consideration when designing their systems and is largely unaffected by them.

Ripped off: the cost of running thewrites Pierpont columnist Trevor Sykes:

Over the past quarter of a century, every participant has suffered either financial or reputational damage and not an inch of rail track has yet been laid.

The latest in the long queue appears to be Padbury Mining, which has grandiose plans to finance the project.

PDY has been suspended from trading on the ASX since April 11 and became the centre of a scandal this week when the colourful history of its funding source - hair clinic entrepreneur Roland Bleyer - was publicised in the nation's press.

The rationale for the project is that it would allow large-scale exploitation of the billions of tonnes of iron ore in the mid-west of Western Australia.

The mines that have been opened in the region at present ship out through


up much in their zone and just simply find ways to score big goals. This team has had some tough wins. In fact, this team has had 13 one-goal games and they have managed to win 10 of them. The shootout/OT games have helped keep the streak going, but nevertheless this is highly impressive. The obvious reason for such success is goaltending, as both Ray Emery and Corey Crawford have been nothing short of spectacular. Last season both goalies had leaks that seemed to lose games for Chicago, but this year it is the opposite. They make those big time key saves that keep the Hawks in it and give the offense time to win it.

On the other end of the spectrum we have the New York Rangers.there are all sort of panic buttons being pressed at MSG. Our very own Russ McKenzie believes that firing coach John Tortorella is needed to right the ship, and rumors of him being on the hot seat continue to swirl. Last Tuesday’s game against Montreal was one of the worst hockey games I have ever witnessed, and while both teams played bad, the Rangers lost. Two games later, the East leading Montreal Canadiens played the Rangers in the Bell Centre, and put a true stamp on who is a real power in the East in the first third of the season. Maybe Brandon Prust is the difference, eh?

Speaking of Montreal, they decide to shake up their line-up with a trade that sent Erik Cole to the Dallas Stars


Getting The World Of Sprint Vector Over The Finish Line

[11.20.18]- Kevin Andersen

"Sprint Vector" was an adventure to make. As I originally drafted this, project champion and lead designer Andrew Abedian looked like he crawled out of a shallow grave to take a nap in an office chair, producer Chris Thompson was pouring Red Bull in his coffee, and Console QA lead Kris Gruchalla was half-awake doing butterfly-knife tricks to an audience of frightened interns.

The company's shares have fallen by almost 45 percent over the last year as it grappled with weak sales and a public relations crisis after racially charged comments made last fall by founder and former Chairman and CEO John Schnatter that drew public outrage.

The company isn't currently exploring a sale, said one of the people who was briefed on the board's thinking. They requested anonymity because the information is confidential.

"While we recognize Papa John's attraction as an acquisition candidate given its current turmoil and turnaround


potential, we believe the likelihood for some type of strategic action is low without founder John Schnatter's approval," Peter Saleh, analyst at BTIG, wrote in a research note Friday. Saleh said he doesn't think Schnatter, who has a roughly 30 percent stake in the company, has any interest in selling or stepping away, "making the math on shareholder approval of such an action more difficult, though not impossible."

The 124th Annual General Meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) takes place on 6 March at FIFA’s Zurich headquarters. Chairing the AGM will be world football’s governing body, just as it does every FIFA World Cup™ finals year.

On the agenda this year are the proposed amendments to Laws of the Game 1 (The field of play) and 5 (The referee) as well as discussions on a number of topical issues.

FIFA.com explains the history behind the IFAB and reveals the role it has played in the development of the game from its foundation in the late 19th century through to the present day.

The IFAB is bornComprising two representatives from each of the UK's four football associations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), the


IFAB met for the first time on 2 June 1886. The brainchild of the English FA, the new body was created with a view to drawing up a uniform code at a time when each country applied different rules. Once established as the guardian of the Laws of the Game, the IFAB’s role was to preserve, monitor and study them, and amend them if necessary.

The game of football spread rapidly around the globe in the years that followed, and in 1904 seven nations came together in Paris to found the Federation Internationale de Football Associations (FIFA). In 1906 the former head of the English FA, Daniel Burley Woolfall, succeeded the Frenchman Robert Guerin as FIFA President. The English FA joined world football’s governing body that same year, withFIFA becoming a member of the IFAB in 1913.

Granted four votes, FIFA would enjoy the same voting rights as the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish associations combined, with a three-quarters majority being required in order for a motion to be accepted.

The Laws of the GameOffside has without doubt been the most controversial of all laws since the creation of the first set of official rules in 1863. At the time, any player positioned in front of the ball was deemed to be offside. At the end of the 1860s the FA drew up the so-called “three-player rule”, by virtue of which a player would only be ruled offside if there were less than three players situated between him and the goal, an innovation that allowed the game to


develop. In 1925 the law was amended to the current two-player rule.

The six-yard box made its first appearance in 1869, followed by corner-kicks in 1872, and the first penalty kick was awarded in 1891. Up until 1902 spot-kicks could be taken from any point along a line 12 yards out from goal.

The decision to prohibit goalkeepers from handling the ball outside the penalty area, taken in 1912, led to an increase in the number of goals scored. And as of 1920 players could no longer be ruled offside from throw-ins.

Slowly but surely, the IFAB was changing both the game and the mindsets of the people who played and watched it. The rule change prohibiting goalkeepers from handling deliberate back-passes, introduced after the 1990 FIFA World Cup Italy™, andthe 1998 ruling that red cards be awarded for tackles from behind are good examples of that shift in attitude.

Now well into its second century of existence, the IFAB continues to protect and preserve the game of football, maintaining simplicity as its watchword despite the changing times.


A 24-year-old racial activist has been charged with creating a false public alarm after reportedly making death threats to black students and faculty at her alma mater Kean University in New Jersey.

Kayla-Simone McKelvey, a self-described race activist, reportedly used a university computer to make death threats to the black students and faculty at Kean University from a fake Twitter account.

Authorities say McKelvey was on campus for a rally against racial intolerance, which she briefly left in order to post the threats online. She then returned to the rally to spread “awareness” of the threats being made against black students.

According to her Linkedin profile, McKelvey was the president of the Pan African Student Union and the 2014 Homecoming Queen during her time as a student at Kean University.

Also seized from the Libyan leader was a 150-hectare estate on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, a destination for illegal migrants and refugees attempting to enter Europe by boat from Libya. The seizures were ordered by the Rome appeals court at the request of the international criminal court in The Hague. The ICC launched a hunt for property belonging to Gaddafi and his associates last June when it issued


warrants for their arrest on charges of crimes against humanity.

Financial assets owned by the late Libyan leader had earlier been frozen in the European Union and elsewhere following two UN resolutions in February and March, 2011. Gaddafi was killed by insurgents last October after failing to put down a popular uprising backed by most western powers.

The most valuable single item seized was a 1.26% interest in Italy's biggest bank, Unicredit, worth more than €600m (£502m). Other significant shareholdings included stakes in the oil and gas giant, ENI, the defence firm Finmeccanica and two companies in the Fiat motor group.

All the assets were held through Libya's sovereign wealth fund, the Libyan Investment Authority, which was set up in 2006, ostensibly to manage Libya's oil revenues and diversify the country'sincome. LIA's stake in Unicredit was its biggest single investment.

Several bank accounts holding cash and shares were destined to be put under temporary, special administration as a result of Wednesday's operation. Also put under sequester was a flat in the centre of Rome, close to the Via Veneto. The Harley-Davidson was one of two motorcycles confiscated by the revenue guard.

It was not immediately clear which of the assets belonged to Colonel Gaddafi, which to his son, Saif Al-Islam and which to his former head of intelligence, Abdullah Senussi. Gaddafi's son was captured last November and is being held in Libya. Senussi, Gaddafi's brother-in-law, who is wanted for questioning in connection with the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, was reportedly arrested in Mauritania earlier this month.


Charitable donations popular among estate planners

Almost a fifth of people plan to leave money to charity when they die, according to research by the AA.

Of the 1,500 people surveyed, 18% intend to use part of their estate to make charitable donations. It suggests a gender gap between the amount of men and women planning to give to charity: 22% of women said they would give part of their estate to charity, compared to 14% of men.

There is also a gap between the number of men and women who have not written a will. 36% of women are yet to write one, compared to 26% of men.

Of those who haven't yet written a will:

51% said they hadn't gotten around to it

28% want their estate passed to their children ortime for filing the transcript had expired. The so-called "supplemental transcript" contained only an application to the trial court by the attorneys who had represented appellees in the trial of the cause for permission to withdraw as counsel for appellees and the court's order granting such permission. The application and the order were both made after an appeal had been taken to this court and after the original transcript had been certified as being correct by the register. They did not have to be in the transcript of the record.
The day the "supplemental transcript" was marked filed was mistakenly treated by a member of this court as being the correct day from which to compute the time within which appellants' original brief could be filed under an order


through the funding of various clandestine projects, including research on human subjects. In 1967, according to the CIA’s internal assessment, there were literally hundreds of college professors on more than 100 American college campuses under secret contract to the CIA. Needless to say, universities like Harvard that wanted a piece of the action decided to dispense with the ethical standard embedded in the Nuremberg Code. From 1953 to 1963, federal support for scientific research at Harvard increased from $8 million per year to $30 million.

One secret CIA research project that used unwitting American citizens as subjects was code-named MK Ultra. It lasted 10 years and ended in 1963, shortly after Ted graduated from Harvard. MK Ultra experiments used sensory deprivation, sleep learning, subliminal projection, electronic brain stimulation, andhallucinogenic drugs to study various applications for behavior modification. One project was designed to see if subjects could be programmed to kill on demand. Experiments were conducted in penal institutions, mental institutions, and on university campuses. Some hapless human subjects went crazy, and some are known to have committed suicide.

When the media began to catch wind of a program of secret government experimentation on American citizens, former CIA director Richard Helms ordered many records pertaining to MK Ultra destroyed. Thus, the full scope of the program and its abuses may never be known.

The Harvard study my brother participated in was called “Multiform Assessments of Personality Development Among Gifted College Men.” It was overseen by the noted psychologist Henry Murray, who during WWII worked for the OSS (which later


became the CIA), where he developed methodologies for interrogating prisoners of war. In his professional life, Murray was known for his brilliance and his grandiosity. In his personal life, according to his biographer, he displayed sadistic tendencies. His research on college men bears a certain resemblance to his research on prisoners of war. He was quite a big wheel in his day, perhaps as well known and influential in military and government circles as he was in academia.

Were the so-called “Murray experiments” part of MK Ultra? It may be that no one living knows the answer to this question. We know that the experiments were highly unpleasant for my brother and for some others who participated. We know that the basic premise of the research was to studyworked as (among other things) a graphic designer for a publisher in New York, a horse wrangler in Colorado, an assistant to a photographer in Virginia, and a transcriber of marketing research focus groups. All of these jobs have their merits in my writing life: the first put me in touch with the publishing world and got me a publisher, editor and agent; the second inspired numerous stories about horses, guns, and cowboys; the third gave me a model for the type of artist's life I would like to one day live; and the last helped pay the bills.

Today, a college friend congratulates me on having a Notable Essay in the back of Best American Essays 2010. I texted back, "what essay?" I assumed it was going to be this very serious piece called "Literary Murder," that had been chosen for Best Creative Nonfiction. She wrote back, "For All the Ladies in my Mother's Book Group." "THAT one?" I texted back. The essay was a blur that came back to me slowly -- starting with BONG HITS and ending with this wild pack of genius -- with a jab at Harold Bloom and gettingtheater. The youngest of four, they took me with them to everything -- bad community theater (which I personally love) and Broadway and everything in between. My father keeps every play he's ever seen written on an index card in his desk. He's got stacks of cards, held with rubber bands. One time, I shuffled through them to see if I had a chance of having seen TRUE WEST with Malkovich and Sinise. I remembered the show vividly. The actors were unknown to me. And turns out, timing wise, it was probably them. My family loved playwrights, and, honestly, the only time I've gotten really nervous meeting a writer was Wendy Wasserstein. I'd published a bunch of books by then, but she was a hero where I came


from. Novelists? No. Poets? Nada. Playwrights were gods.

At around 13 or 16 -- it's blurry -- I was visiting my sister when she had an audition. She took me with her and I waited in a dark room with sofas while she went in through the door. It felt foreign, a little dirty. I was worried about her. I was nervous for her. There were other actors in the room. I hated the place.

My sister walked out and told me to get my coat. We walked down a long set of stairs out onto the street. She started crying. We walked fast. She said she was done. No more. I didn't say much. I trailed beside her. I didn't want her to quit, but I also did. I'dwanted to be an actress at one point, but I also hated the thought of it. It felt caged to me. I wanted her to get out.

She went on more auditions, got roles, and eventually managed a theater company there, an important one. She produced and directed. Names you'd recognize. (It was there I shook hands with Pacino and swapped fortune cookies with Shel Silverstein, writing some plays at that point.)

Years later, many, I cried on the streets of New York. I'd come out of a meeting with one of my former editors. It had gone badly. Things, in general, were. I felt blamed and pissed and caged.

My kids were waiting in the lobby. My husband must have been there too. I'd never leave them alone in a


most gorgeous description of a stark rural winter and the inherent lonesomeness came from a zombie story. The most inventive story I've read from a workshop was set in the imagination -- llike the best scenes from Inception pre-Inception.

About twenty years ago after undergrad, I was teaching English as a Second Language to Spanish pilots with Berlitz, living at home in Delaware, failing some psych courses that I was taking just to rule out psych , and Fred Chappell came to give a reading at the University in this little basement where I'd seen a lot of bad theater throughout my childhood. He read a story about an idea -- I believe it was an idea -- that settled in and blocked a country road. I decided thatWorld, by Lori Ostlund. Again, a book about travel, but Ostlund was such a wonderful voice, so smart and yet funny, I devoured the book. Robert Stone, a master of both novels and short stories, had a great collection out this year, Fun with Problems, but you should also read his earlier collection with it, Bear and His Daughter. An astonishing novel came out this year, In the Company of Angels, by Thomas E. Kennedy, that's beautiful, profound, disturbing, everything you want in great literature.

Five-time world champion M C Mary Kom (48kg) Saturday clinched her third gold medal of the year, while Jyoti Gulia (51kg) picked up the country's lone gold in the youth category of the Silesian Open Boxing Tournament for women in Gliwice, Poland.

Mary Kom

India's junior boxers also performed exceptionally well to claim 13 medals, six of them gold, while senior pro L Sarita Devi (60kg) ended with a bronze.

Mary Kom, returning to the ring after recovering from some niggles that kept her out of the Asian Games in Jakarta, was up against Kazakhstan's Aigerim Kassanayeva and prevailed 5-0 with a fine tactical performance. Her other two gold medals this year came in the India Open in Delhi and the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast.

The 35-year-old former Olympic bronze-medallist deservedcredit for having a rock solid defence to deny any clear shot to Kassanayeva.

The Manipuri, who is also a former Asian Games gold-medallist, took full advantage of her rival's hesitation to launch attacks and went full throttle in the final three minutes to strike some good body blows.

In the youth competition, Jyoti, a former world champion and India's only boxer to have qualified for next month's Youth Olympic Games in Argentina, out-classed Poland's Tatiana Pluta in just the second round of her final bout to clinch gold.

The 17-year-old connected some lusty right hooks and straight punches to force three standing eight counts on her rival, two of them in the opening three minutes.

By the time the third eight-count came about, the referee decided that the local favourite had


taken enough of a thrashing and awarded the bout to Jyoti.

Former world champion Sarita, however, signed off with a bronze medal in the senior category.

Sarita, also a multiple-time Asian champion and a former Asian bronze-medallist, was joined by Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) and Pooja Rani (81kg) in the list of those whose campaign came to an end in the semifinals on Friday.

Sarita lost 0-5 to Kazakhstan's Karina Ibragimova, a decision which the Indian contingent felt did not reflect fairly on the contest.

"It was a controversial decision. Sarita was clearly better but judges did not rule in her favour, even the crowd got behind her after the loss because everyone could see," said one of the coaches travelling with the team.

Lovlina was beaten by Poland's Karolina Koszewska in a splitAt Wednesday's closing siren the Toronto Stock Exchange rang up a 60 point gain for its key 300 Composite Index, driven by an investor buying frenzy.

For nearly half a century, mainland Japan has been criticized for foisting the bulk of the nation’s security load on Okinawa Prefecture and largely ignoring the consequences of that arrangement as a distant problem.

But now, as Okinawa marks the 47th anniversary of its reversion to Japan from U.S. military rule on May 15, moves are slowly spreading across the country to alleviate the prefecture’s disproportionate burden of hosting U.S. military facilities.

The shift was led by a citizens group in Okinawa and the central government’s push over local opposition to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma within the prefecture, from Ginowan to the Henoko district of Nago.

The citizens group in late March sent a petition to the heads of all 1,788 local assemblies in Japan, from villagesto prefectures. It urged the assemblies to adopt resolutions to start a debate on the Futenma relocation issue as if it was their own problem, either for or against the plan, in a democratic manner.

The petition noted that all local governments in Japan are potential sites for transfers of U.S. military facilities.

Members of the same group played a central role in the Okinawa government’s decision to hold a prefecture-wide referendum on the relocation issue in February.

Group member Nagatsugu Asato, a judicial scrivener in Naha, said they are trying to reach out to local bodies throughout Japan to get them to take the U.S. base issue seriously.

“Discrimination against Okinawans by people on the mainland, demonstrated in the form of relocating the Futenma airfield within the prefecture, must stop,” said


air station within the prefecture.

Opponents of the plan want the Futenma air station closed, with no transfer of its functions.

“If people are still calling for the Futenma relocation, the new site should be selected in prefectures other than Okinawa under a fair and democratic method,” Asato said.

The assemblies’ initial response to the group’s petition drew little hope for action.

About 130 assemblies told the group that they would deliver copies of the petition to members, but they have no plans to debate the issue because it was not raised by local residents.

However, signs of change have emerged.

In Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture, Yoshihisa Masuko, a former assemblyman, submitted a similar petition to the city assembly on May 13.

Masuko, 79, said he did so because a petition from outside the city wouldlater catch up with Isaac, Simone, and Nathan. Simone is convinced Isaac and Hiro both have powers.

Mohinder Suresh, at his apartment in New York, is visited by an FBI agent who states that they are finally taking his warnings seriously after all of Sylar's murders. He then reveals to Mohinder that Eden McCain, whose real name was Sarah Ellis, was found dead at Lake Ramsey in Sudbury, Ontario with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Mohinder is later visited by Mr. Bennet who tells him of Eden's abilities and her employment with him. He then asks for Mohinder's help, revealing that he needs Chandra Suresh's research. Mohinder refuses, but Mr. Bennet gives him a Primatech business card to contact him if he changes his mind.

Cru Staff Member: How I Became a Christian

While I was a first year student at Voorhees College, my father, a pastor, was instrumental in bringing the Cru team to my hometown for the first time. Our family was the only family they knew in Vellore, India.

That year I took a friend of mine to visit a Cru staff member. We went to his room and the staff member shared the Four Spiritual Laws booklet with us.

My father, who was a very committed pastor, would always share about the message of salvation, God's love and all of that. But it was the fourth law, that I had to personally ask Christ into my life by faith to know for sure that I amperform with black men, Stone said that she knows it would not go over well if she were to decline scenes with white males.

When asked what could be done to change things in the industry, Stone hesitated before offering this: Diversifying who makes decisions within the industry matters. She recently incorporated her own adult film company, although it has not yet made its first project. She joked that she wanted to have a company populated with black performers and “one token white girl,” a play on the fact that she has so often been the token black girl.

Quote from Mit Brennender Sorge:

“When, in 1933, We consented, Venerable Brethren, to open negotiations for a concordat, which the Reich Government proposed on the basis of a scheme of several years’ standing; and when, to your unanimous satisfaction, We concluded the negotiations by a solemn treaty, We were prompted by the desire, as it behooved Us, to secure for Germany the freedom of the Church’s beneficent mission and the salvation of the souls in her care, as well as by the sincere wish to render the German people a serviceworld who has eyes to see and ears to hear will be able to lay the blame on the Church and on her Head. The experiences of these last years have fixed responsibilities and laid bare intrigues, which from the outset only aimed at a war of extermination. In the furrows, where We tried to sow the seed of a sincere peace, other men — the “enemy” of Holy Scripture — oversowed the cockle of distrust, unrest, hatred, defamation, of a determined hostility overt or veiled, fed from many sources and wielding many tools, against Christ and His Church. They, and they alone with their accomplices, silent or vociferous, are today responsible, should the storm of religious war, instead of the rainbow of peace, blacken the German skies.”

The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced today that it has filed a friend of the court brief opposing the ACLU’s campaign to tear down another war memorial cross.

At issue is a small cross originally erected on Sunrise Rock in 1934 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in memory of the dead of all wars. The cross is located in California’s Mojave Desert, in a remote area where the only visible signs of human activity are off-road vehicles and trail hikers. The ACLU succeeded in its anti-cross agenda by obtaining a ruling in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals holding that the cross violated the so-called separation of church and


solace to their families and comrades. Ironically, the Ninth Circuit used the very constitution these veterans defended with their lives to order the destruction of the memory of their heroic sacrifices. Sadly, the cross in the Mojave Desert is currently covered from view until the appeal is resolved.”

The Law Center’s brief was filed on behalf of former Navy pilot and Vietnam prisoner of war Rear Admiral Jeremiah Denton, USN (Ret.) and the families of Marine Majors Michael D. Martino and Gerald Bloomfield, III, both of whom were killed in combat in Iraq on November 2, 2005, when their attack helicopter was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. The memories and sacrifices of these war heroes are now preserved by plaques located under another cross, the cross at theMt. Soledad Veterans Memorial. The Law Center successfully defended that cross, but the cross is the subject of another lawsuit brought against the federal government by the ACLU.

Should the Supreme Court affirm the Ninth Circuit’s ruling, the cross at Mt. Soledad, which has been the subject of much litigation over the past twenty years, will be threatened as well. A recent ACLU case challenging the Mt. Soledad cross is currently on appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The Law Center has been actively involved in the successful defense of the Mt. Soledad cross for many years.

Jeremiah Denton, a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, a veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, a prisoner of war from July 18, 1965 to February 13, 1973, a former U.S. Senator from


the State of Alabama, also serves as the Chairman of the Thomas More Law Center’s Advisory Board. Admiral Denton first came to the attention of the American public during a television interview arranged by his North Vietnamese captors in 1966. Expected to give “proper responses” to a journalist’s recitation of alleged American war atrocities, Admiral Denton affirmed his faith in America, stating, “I will support it as long as I live.” While responding to questions from his interrogator, Admiral Denton blinked his eyes in Morse Code, repeatedly spelling out the covert message “TORTURE.” His message was the first confirmation that American POWs were being tortured.

During his nearly eight years as a POW, Admiral Denton was subjected to severe torture. He became the first American military captive to besubjected to four years of solitary confinement. Admiral Denton’s extraordinary account of his endurance and sacrifice for our country while imprisoned in North Vietnam was told in his 1976 book, When Hell Was in Session .

In 2008, Admiral Denton’s incredible sacrifice for our country – a horrific sacrifice that is unimaginable to most Americans – was honored and memorialized at the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial. A plaque in his honor was placed under the cross at the veterans’ memorial during a ceremony held on September 19, 2008, the 2008 National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

Previously, in May 2006, Major Martino and Major Bloomfield’s unit, which had recently returned from Iraq, sponsored a plaque-dedication ceremony at the memorial to commemorate the fallen Marines’ heroic service and to provide a place to

At the same time, Aeryn tracks down her former fellow PeacekeepersVertigo launched their Vertigo Crime imprint within an imprint, this is what I was expecting. This is a straight up serial killer/angry cop story, with a typically atypical Vertigo twist.

Adam Kamen is a detective for the NYPD, who has been following a string of murders caused by a serial killer the press has dubbed “Henry the Eighth”, because all that is ever found are the decapitated bodies of the victims. Kamen is already having a hard time with the case when he gets attacked by a random crazy person, and has a screwdriver driven into the centre of his forehead.

He returns to the job, but is finding that his perceptions have been altered such that he can sometimes get a glimmer of the future. He and the Department


– don’t apply to this series’ nameless protagonist. He is a very old vampire, having lived since the times of the great Egyptian Pharoah Khufu, who was his father, but in all that time he has not aged beyond his ten to twelve years.

When this book opens, the child’s body is found in an old, unused length of sewer pipe. Once it is exposed to the sunlight, he is revived, and has to make his way through the world after fifty years of rest. He needs to eat prodigious amounts of food, and never is able to ease his hunger, even when he drinks someone’s blood. He makes a few friends – an old Oglala Sioux man and his granddaughter, but is soon pursued once again by Ahmasi,The invention relates to a waterer with an essentially vertical water pipe, having at least one water valve, a mounting unit for mounting on an animal housing, grazing or feeding facility, and a height adjustment device for adjusting the distance between the ground and the water valve.
A known waterer of the generic type described is frequently mounted on bars partitioning an animal housing facility into several areas. The bars usually run horizontally and parallel to one another, and are positioned in a plane perpendicular to the ground.
The mounting unit of the known waterer is usually fitted with two U-bolts. The ends of the U-bolts are provided with threads. The two U-bolts are mounted at a distance from one another in parallel planes. The water pipe is placed in


via small, nearly punctiform points of contact between the U-bolt and the water pipe, and between the water pipe and the bar. The water pipe and the entire waterer can easily be shifted in the direction transverse to the opposing points of contact. Large forces acting on the water pipe in the direction of the bars can easily shift the watering unit along the bars. This can cause the mounting unit to become loose or tilt. On the one hand, this entails a great risk of injury to the animals and, on the other hand, it can make it very difficult for the animals to drink.
The greatest difficulty arising in practice is that, when the waterer is mounted using the opposing points of contact, it can very easilywork is involved in adjusting the height of the water valves.
In the case of pig breeding, for example, the water valves on a large number of waterers must be adjusted at short intervals. The rapid growth of the young animals, which start out with a weight of approx. 20 kg and leave the animal housing facility with a weight of approx. 125 kg, requires the correct setting of the height of the water valves above the floor of the housing facility. A water valve that is incorrectly set too low, for example, prevents the animals from obtaining enough water and causes high water losses.


President Donald Trump tweeted his condolences to the family of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain on Saturday night, just over an hour after the revered prisoner of war and longtime elected official died.

“My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!” Trump wrote, a line that stood in stark contrast to the relationship the pair had while McCain lived.

My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 26, 2018

Trump feuded relentlessly with McCain, a former presidential nominee who insisted on decency and dignity in politics and repeatedly spoke out against Trump's rhetoric and actions.

Early in Trump’s presidential campaign,which he launched by declaring some Mexican immigrants "rapists," the Arizona Republican made clear his distaste for the then-candidate. He said in June 2015 that he did not agree “with his comments about the quote, Mexicans."

When Trump rallied a large crowd in Arizona, he called McCain “incompetent” and “very weak on immigration.” In July 2015, McCain said Trump had “fired up the crazies” in Arizona.

Trump immediately called on McCain to apologize. Two days later, the candidate — who has long said he always punches back harder than his critics — fired off a line that left many speechless.

"He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured,” Trump said at a campaign event in Iowa. Pundits thought the remark


went too far and predicted that Trump's bid for the White House was sunk.

Trump’s campaign continued nonetheless — he won the Republican nomination, and then the White House. But the pair sparred until the very end.

McCain criticized Trump over controversial remarks he made about Muslims, Gold Star families, torture, relations with Russia, foreign policy, and more, while Trump tweeted some 40 times about McCain during his presidential bid, calling McCain a “dummy” and saying he did a “lousy” job on behalf of American veterans.

Embroiled in a Republican primary through the fall of 2016, McCain maintained his support for Trump as the party’s nominee. After initially suggesting he wouldn’t endorse McCain, Trump endorsed the Republican in the Arizona Senate race in August 2016.

The détente lasted just a couple months.

Indropped me over locker room remarks! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016

After Trump took office, the pair’s relationship worsened.

After Trump ordered a travel ban on people from certain Muslim-majority nations, McCain and fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said the order "will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism."

Trump swung back and forth from barbs to plaudits on McCain during the Obamacare votes last year, applauding McCain for returning to Washington for an Obamacare vote while battling brain cancer last summer, and then condemning him for voting against an Obamacare repeal.

Democrats are laughingly saying that McCain had a "moment of courage." Tell that to the people of Arizona who were deceived. 116% increase! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2017

In August 2017, McCain penned


He said Trump had "abased himself" before a "tyrant."

In McCain's final weeks of life, Trump responded with pointed silence.

In August 2018, Trump visited Fort Drum in upstate New York to sign the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 — this year's version of an annual bill that sets defense policy, named to honor the dying senator. Trump chose not to mention him, going so far as to omit McCain's name when citing the title of the bill.

After the news broke that McCain would stop medical treatment and Washington began to mourn the senator whose death appeared imminent with an outpouring of bipartisan support, Trump again stayed silent during remarks at a fundraising dinner for the Ohio Republican Party in Columbus Friday night.

Apparently we even have Jedi politics taking place. In June 2005, Jamie Reed, newly-elected Labour Member of Parliament for Copeland in Cumbria, declared himself to be the first Jedi Member of Parliament during his maiden speech. The statement, made in the context of an ongoing debate regarding the Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, was confirmed by Reed’s office to be a joke instead of a serious statement of faith. Nevertheless, during a subsequent Committee debate on the Bill, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Beaconsfield, Dominic Grieve, sought to exclude Jedi Knights explicitly from


the protection of the proposed Act. Similarly, in April 2006, Edward Leigh, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Gainsborough, asked whether he would be allowed to set up a Jedi knights faith school during a Committee debate on the Education and Inspections Bill.

On November 16, 2006, two Jedi delivered a protest letter to UN officials in recognition of the International Day for Tolerance. They requested that it be renamed the “UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance” and cited the 2001 Census showing 390,000 Jedi in England and Wales

So when census time comes around, here now is your opportunity to not only mock both the census and also religion, but with one very simple tick on an official form declare that religious belief should play no part in any governmentthe religious-nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party. Besides Sweden, anti-immigrant parties are at or near the top of the polls in the Netherlands, and governing or sharing power in Denmark and Hungary. In country after country, fringe movements are entering the mainstream, firing up voters who feel despised by governing elites, and threatening to scramble the European project.

Anti-immigrant populism in Europe is newly powerful, but it is not new. Many of today’s groups date back to the 1990s, when Europe’s debates about Islam and integration began to heat up. By the late 2000s their support had largely stalled. The start of the euro crisis in 2011 re-energised them. The share of the vote won by France’s Eurosceptic FN declined between 2003 and 2011, but began to climb in


Television footage of chaos at the border served as perfect campaign propaganda. In Sweden 180,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in 2015; some are being put up in school halls or sleeping outside in tents. In Germany, schools and municipal governments have strained to handle an influx that has reached 1m this year. The AfD had floundered after a split this summer between its anti-euro and anti-Muslim wings. But the refugee crisis saved the party; polls now put its support at between 6% and 11% nationally. In Italy the migrant crisis has created opportunities for the formerly secessionist Northern League. Under its young leader, Matteo Salvini, the once struggling party has transformed itself into an anti-immigrant group along the lines of the FN, pulling itself back up to 16% indoes not necessarily dampen their support, argues Cas Mudde, an expert on European right-wing populists. The Danish People’s Party is supporting its country’s governing coalition; it has never been more powerful or popular. The Swiss People’s Party has been in government since the 1990s, and won 29% of the vote in the most recent election. Fidesz, the party of Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, has been in power since 2010. This summer Mr Orban carried out the most radical anti-immigrant policy in Europe: he built a fence to keep them out. His popularity has soared from 28% in April to 43% in October.

The European countries where anti-immigrant populism has failed to take hold are sometimes surprising. The western Balkan states, with their history of nationalist violence, are fertile


Agreement"), all contractors hired for the project were to become signatories of the Project Agreement and notify the Council that they were awarded a contract.  In addition, each contractor was to assign work to the Union members who traditionally had jurisdiction to perform such work.

MGM designated Taylor International ("Taylor") as the project manager.  Taylor hired Duell Management Corporation ("Duell") as the construction manager.  In May 1992, Duell awarded Quality Mechanical Contractors, Inc.  ("Quality") a contract to install a sanitary sewer system, a storm drain system, water pipes, landscape sprinkler pipes and manholes.  Quality assigned the sewer and storm drain work to employees represented by the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry, Local 525 ("Plumbers"), instead ofemployees represented by the Union.  In addition, Quality failed to notify the Council that it was awarded the contract.  The Union initiated grievance procedures.

As required in the Project Agreement, the parties submitted the dispute to a five-person Joint Arbitration Board ("JAB"), consisting of two members chosen by the employer, two members chosen by the Union, and a fifth member chosen by the other four members.  The JAB issued an arbitration award, concluding that there "shall be no change in the assignment of work by Quality" because the claim was considered untimely.  However, it stated that "[f]uture work of the same nature will be performed by the [Union] in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreements."

The Union filed a petition to modify or vacate the arbitration


these standards.' "   Desert Palace, 679 F.2d at 792.

A. Arbitrator Bias

8
The Union argues the award should be vacated because Robert Thorniley, an employee of Duell, was a member of the JAB.  It claims Duell is a party to the dispute because MGM, which entered into the collective bargaining agreement with the Union, authorized Taylor as its representative, and Taylor hired Duell as construction manager.  Thus, argues the Union, because Thorniley is an employee of Duell, he was a party to the dispute who should not have been appointed to the JAB.

9
The Union's amended petition alleges that the Union filed its grievance with Taylor, "alleging a violation of the Project Agreement by MGM when it awarded the contract for said work to Quality."  However, the grievance letter, appended to the amended petition as Exhibit 2, does not mention Duell or claim Duell is a party to the dispute, and the Union's petition indicates that the only parties to submit evidence to the JAB were Plumbers, the Union and Quality.  In addition, the Union alleges it objected to Thorniley's appointment, but nevertheless proceeded to participate in the hearing on the merits.  From this we infer that the JAB did not consider Duell a party to the dispute.  In light of the courts' deferential standard of reviewing arbitration awards, the district court properly concluded that "no member of the JAB was a party to the dispute."

The Union also claims the district court should have found sufficient facts to support a


Dacoda Strack, a senior at Torrey Pines High School, competed against 15 other non-native Japanese speakers from high schools across the United States May 25 at UC Irvine in a contest sponsored by the Aurora Foundation in association with the National Japanese Language Teachers and the Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles.

He won first place honors and was awarded $1,000 and a trip to Tokyo this summer to compete in the international contest. He placed third last year in the same contest and Torrey Pines presented a certificate to him for “Outstanding Achievement in World Language.”

Dacoda said, “I first became interested in languages during 5th grade when I read a Japanese comic called Fullmetal Alchemist. After looking more into it and becoming more interested in Japanese comics/animation,III textbook so that I could take Spanish IV the next year. After that, during my sophomore year I took AP Spanish. I’ve taken two years of French. Last year I took French III and now I’m in AP French.”

In addition to these languages, Dacoda has also dabbled with Russian, German, a tiny bit of Chinese, Portuguese and Romanian.

Until midnight people tend to stay at home and on the stroke of midnight it is traditional to eat 12 grapes, one on each stroke of the clock to bring good luck for the new year. In Madrid and other main cities revellers congregate in the main square (Puerta del Sol in Madrid) and eat the grapes along with a celebratory bottle of cava then head out into the night until after sunrise.1st January - A low key public holiday with plenty people sleeping off their excesses.

The excellent condition of the pad paved the way for SpaceX to maintain its seemingly now-standard cadence between launches, holding Bulgariasat to a two-week turnaround from CRS-11.

In all, the two day slip to CRS-11 imparted a two day slip to Bulgariasat, with the static fire moving to 13 June with launch adjusting to Saturday 17 June.

Regardless of the slip, launch preparations for Bulgariasat began in earnest just hours after the launch of CRS-11, when SpaceX transported the flight-proven booster the mission will use into the HIF (Horizontal Integration Facility) at LC-39A.

With a launch on 17 June, Bulgariasat will just barely miss the record turnaround time on the same pad for SpaceX.

The Detroit News

Detroit — Rapper Doughboy Roc was under federal investigation and had more than $55,000 seized by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents months before being shot to death Monday, The Detroit News has learned.

Court records and sources familiar with the federal investigation offer insight into the final months of the 29-year-old rapper, real name Rodney Yeargin, who gained local fame within the music industry while striving for mainstream success.

It’s unclear whether there’s any connection between the homicide and the seizure of money or the DEA investigation. The status of the federal investigation was unclear Thursday.

Drug dealing and the rap industry have overlapped in high-profile federal investigations locally in recent years. In March, The News reported that DEA agents were investigating Detroit music mogulwhite Nike Air Force One sneakers on Instagram on Sept. 14 with the hashtag #blessed.

Four weeks later, he was dead.

Detroit police officers found his bullet-ridden body in a white Hyundai near Stoepel and Westfield Monday afternoon on the city’s west side.

He appeared to have been shot in his right ear and shoulder, police said.

Soon after the news broke that the rapper had been killed, the neighborhood filled with authorities and mourners and tributes from fellow musicians flooded social media.

Monday’s incident is the second fatal shooting in three months involving well-known Detroit rappers. In July, Dominique Brown and Ramell Campbell, known as Domo Brown and 47 Mell, respectively, were killed in a drive-by shooting while driving east on Interstate 94 near Livernois. Police said that killing was the result


for the deputy commissioner to adjudicate claimant PTD where the employer/carrier has accepted him as PTD before the hearing, the language of the Florida Supreme Court in Andrews v. Strecker Body Builders, 92 So.2d 521 (Fla. 1957), seems to imply that such stipulations by the employer/carrier do not deprive the deputy of jurisdiction, but that the inclusion in his order of such matters is within the discretion of the deputy. We therefore affirm the deputy commissioner's adjudication of claimant as PTD.
Soon after claimant's accident, his restaurant burned down. Claimant underwent two operations to remove torn medial meniscus from his knee and returned to work at his regular salary when a new restaurant was opened a year later in December, 1976. He continued to have problems with his knee.In October, 1977, Dr. Jones, a physician to whom claimant was referred, performed an arthrogram which was "non-diagnostic" and encouraged claimant to return to normal activities. In December, 1977, claimant's wife "fired" him from his employment in the restaurant due to his inability to perform the work. Thereafter, claimant remained unemployed and, in February, 1979, filed a claim for temporary total disability benefits from the date of the accident.
In April, 1980, claimant's attorney arranged for him to see Dr. Baker, who performed surgery to remove retained medial meniscus and declared claimant to have reached maximum medical improvement on October 10, 1980, with a 40 percent disability. Benefits were paid from July 6, 1980 to December 4, 1980, at which time the employer/carrier ceased payments because of a social


National Bank of Canada Trials Blockchain for Standby Letters of Credit

Canada-based global IT consulting and outsourcing firm CGI said that it had partnered with National Bank of Canada – the country’s sixth largest commercial bank – and blockchain firm Skuchain to trial distributed ledger technology (DLT) in a project revolving around negotiation standby letters of credit and guarantees.

The standby letter of credit is as a guarantee of payment issued by a bank on behalf of a client. It acts as a loan of last resort in which the bank has to meet the payment obligations in the case when their client cannot do it.

These kinds of agreements are traditionally carried out through emails, which makes them vulnerable to errors and delays. By leveraging blockchain, the parties can benefit    Petitioner – Appellant,

A rod is used by Baker to clamp the snowmobile skis against the transport surface, and the rod is pulled against the trailer surface by a pivoting arm. By pulling upwards on a handle, the clamping mechanism is pulled downwards towards the trailer surface, Limited resilience in the trailer and clamping components allows the handle in one embodiment to be elevated over a support and rested thereon. In another embodiment, a spring provides the necessary clamping force. While the Baker device eliminates the necessity for repeated threading, several disadvantages are introduced.

image caption Afghan security forces are frequently targeted by the Taliban

At least 36 people have been killed in an apparent suicide attack on an army recruitment centre in northern Afghanistan, local officials have said.

More than 40 people were also reported to have been injured in the attack in the city of Kunduz.

On Friday, the Kunduz province police chief was killed by a suicide bomber.

Over the past few years, the once peaceful province has become increasingly unstable as the Taliban have infiltrated the area.

The Taliban have said they carried out this attack. Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned it as an "unforgivable act of terror".

People were waiting in the recruitment centre when the attack took place, a senior
