Big boost for solar power

THE Government's solar energy push is hotting up, with solar panels to be installed at places such as the Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints by the end of 2017.

Another 900 HDB blocks will also get solar panels, taking the total to almost 2,000, or about a fifth of all blocks here.

The energy generated at HDB blocks helps to power lifts and lighting in common areas. The increase comes under a tender called by the HDB yesterday, the first to consolidate multiple government agencies' demand for solar-panel installation.

It is for a capacity of 40 megawatt-peak or MWp, making it the largest solar leasing tender in Singapore to date, the HDB and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) said in a joint statement yesterday.

The HDB will takeup about four-fifths of the capacity.

The rest will be taken up by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and national water agency PUB, with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to be installed at eight sites.

The five MHA sites are Tuas Checkpoint, Woodlands Checkpoint, Home Team Academy, Airport Police Division and the MHA headquarters at New Phoenix Park.

For the PUB, solar PV systems will be installed at Changi Water Reclamation Plant, Bedok Waterworks and WaterHub.

The tender closes on Aug 14 and is estimated to be awarded in the fourth quarter of the year. Installation is expected to be finished at the end of 2017.

This is the first tender to be called under SolarNova, a programme spearheaded by the EDB to lead demand for solar energy.

have to remember the special occasion (courtesy of Quang Dinh's facebook page)

Like most newlyweds, the lovely Ellie Koning and handsome Quang Dinh wanted to capture the afterparty of their Aug. 11th nuptials on video. Unlike most couples, they used small Seattle-based production company Super Frog Saves Tokyo to do the job. (On the company's official facebook page, the folks at SFST they say they made this video for their "boss.")

The video was shot at the reception site Sodo Park in Seattle Washington in a photo booth, a now popular trend at weddings. The result is a recorded total of 4 minutes and 27 seconds of sweet jubilation unlike most painfully tacky wedding videos.

Sweden-born artist Emmy Lincoln, who goes by the artist moniker ItchySoul, creates imaginative lowbrow artwork by up-cycling flea market finds such as old oil paintings, antique photos and old book covers as well as creating her own original acrylic works.

Inspired by sci-fi, fairytales, animé, toys and all things kitsch, this is her way of paying tribute to the unknown or forgotten artist. She sees her paintings as "stories yet


to be told."

About the artist:

Born in 1980, Emmy grew up as a middle child in the tiny village Dösjebro. She was constantly drawing on things and her friends and family always encouraged her to. Both her grandmother Berit who wasa map drawer and painter, and her mom Yvonne who is a ceramic artist, were great inspirations for her growing up.

After finishing high school in 1999 Emmy traveled for a few years and had stray jobs in hospitality in London, Tokyo and Sydney. She ended up studying graphic design at the Enmore Design Center, Sydney. Then followed internships at design studio Campbell Barnett and ad agency Arnold Australia.

Since returning to Sweden in 2005 Emmy is working as a Visual Designer in the mobile phone industry and is currently freelancing under company name ItchySoul AB.

Emmy lives in Malmö with her boyfriend Mattias where they share a cozy music- and art studio. Her debut art exhibition was at the No White Walls 43 gallery in Malmö in May 2013, where

Belfast on a Friday night is never an easy place to travel and a sharply improved second-half display duly yielded Ulster’s 14th victory in their last 18 home games against English opposition in Europe.

For a while, when Wasps held a 9-3 lead in the third quarter, it seemed they might just be on course for a remarkable success given the logistical difficulties of a five-day turnaround and first-half injuries to three more players, including the hooker Tom Cruse with a broken thumb and Thomas Young with a strained groin. They reckoned without the inspirational Charles Piutau, once a Wasp himself, who created a brace of Ulster tries in


win on Irish soil in their last seven attempts, although Ulster were also missing their injured Lions Rory Best and Jared Payne. The home team, however, could still field the richly talented Piutau, an adopted Ulsterman for the rest of this season before his big-money move to Bristol. Every time the All Black had the ball the game received an extra surge of electricity and his former employers looked genuinely apprehensive.

After Elliot Daly and John Cooney had swapped early penalties, a scrappy first-half was duly illuminated when Piutau burst thrillingly out of defence and set his half-backs John Cooney and Leali’ifano free, only for the ball to bounce agonisingly away from the Australian at the crucial moment. With both Cruse and the centre Brendan Macken departing early afterset for another defeat when tries from Semi Kunatani and Sebastien Bezy – both converted by the latter – put Toulouse 14-3 up heading into half-time.

However, Sale hit back and built a 17-14 lead after the winger Denny Solomona and Bryn Evans crossed either side of the interval, with Faf de Klerk adding the extras. Then it became a battle of the boot, with Bezy and De Klerk exchanging penalties to leave Sale holding a narrow 20-17 lead going into the closing stages.

But Bezy had the final say after Sale had been penalised for offside at a ruck, the France fly-half nailing his 74th-minute kick to earn the four-times European champions a draw.

June 22, 2012 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s banks have to be ready to finance infrastructure when the state is expected to woo private capital into toll roads and ports in the next few years, an investment banker said. Several foreign firms have made proposals.

“Although Hadoram’s ornithological interests are staggeringly wide-ranging, his name is arguably particularly synonymous with this wonderful owl of wild places in the Middle East. He discovered, when still a young boy, a live but poisoned specimen (of the Desert Tawny Owl) in En Gedi, which became the first individual to be held in captivity and is now a skeleton in the Tel Aviv University Museum.”

The bird lives in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, from Wadi Rabdeit, close to the border with Sudan, north to Mons Porphyrites, northwest of the port of Hurghada, as well as the Sinai Desert, e.g. around St Katherine’s Monastery, through southern and eastern Israel, in the Negev and Judean Deserts, to Jordan, where apparently confined to the eastern fringe of the Jordan


Valley and the Rum Desert in the southeast of the country, thence south across western and, more locally, northern, central and northeastern Saudi Arabia, apparently throughout Yemen, and east to southwest Omani Dhofar.

“Strix hadorami occurs in rocky desert areas with ravines, cliffs and small caves, particularly in deep wadis with crevices for nesting and roosting and some vegetation. It is most frequent in limestone cliffs, but also occurs in granitic and basaltic regions of Saudi Arabia, and sandstone regions of Jordan,” the scientists wrote.

Analysis of pellets in Israel reveals that the diet of the bird mostly comprises rodents and small insectivores (gerbils, jirds, mice and shrews), geckos, some passerine birds, and arthropods such as scorpions, grasshoppers and beetles.

The breeding season is March-August in Israel, but earlier in southernOman, where pairs generally cease vocalizing as early as March.

“Egg-laying in Arabia is estimated to occur from early February to late April,” the scientists wrote.

“Nesting data are scant: just one pair has been studied in detail in Israel, a total of five eggs was laid between 6 and 14 May, with an incubation period of 34–39 days; eggs hatched on 10-21 June and the fledging period was 30–40 days; another clutch, in eastern Saudi Arabia, numbered three fresh eggs on 25 February.”

The Arabian population has been estimated at about 3,000 pairs and in Israel there were about 200 pairs in the late 1980s.

Recent surveys in Israel suggest a decline, with some former territories occupied now by the Pharaoh Eagle-Owl (Bubo ascalaphus).

Many handgun permits in N.Y. county have outdated data

In December, The (Westchester, N.Y.) Journal News published a report and interactive map with the names and addresses of those who legally hold pistol permits in Westchester and Rockland counties.

Story Highlights

Prior to new state law, Rockland County's gun permits were issued for a lifetime

Only 3,907 names and addresses of the 16,998 provided by Rockland County were considered current

New gun-control law requires gun permits to be renewed every five years

The map showed the names and addresses of handgun-permitholders in Rockland and Westchester, N.Y., counties. It ignited a national firestorm that brought criticism from those who felt it demonized legal gun-permit holders and also put them and non-permit-holders in danger. The map data have since been removed from the newspaper's website, but maps of each county remain with large dots to indicate the density of permits in each county.

Mike Smith was shocked to see his home on the online map before it was removed from the website.

He quickly determined his brother-in-law had used Smith's Valley Cottage, N.Y., address when he successfully applied for a handgun license — in 1997, a few months before he moved to Arizona.

Though angry at his brother-in-law, Smith said he also was left fuming about a process that hadn't measured up.

"Nobody ever


called and verified the address," Smith said. "They didn't use his driver's license. Could somebody else use my address?"

Smith was among scores of residents who contacted the newspaper last month after it published the interactive map on its website.

He was not alone in requesting that his address be removed from the map on the grounds that it contained inaccurate information.

Rockland County provided the names and addresses for 16,998 permit holders, but County Clerk Paul Piperato categorized the vast majority of those as "historical," with some dating to the 1930s. Only 3,907 permits were considered current. The rest had no activity in at least five years and included people who may have moved, died, sold or given away their guns.

Westchester's data, though not exact, had far more accurate information,and for a good reason. Until this month, only Westchester, Suffolk and Nassau counties required permits to be renewed every five years; New York City requires an update every three years.

Every other county in New York — including Rockland — issued permits that were good for a person's lifetime, and though it was the responsibility of the permit holder to update his information, many simply did not, Piperato said.

New gun-control laws enacted in New York this month now require all permits to be renewed every five years.

Communities with stricter rules, such as New York City, can keep their requirements in place.

Jackie Hilly, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, said the new law will mean a better chance to identify someone who shouldn't have a gun.

Call of Duty: WWII Online Multiplayer Supports 48 Players – Rumour

Though this seems to apply to the new Headquarters.

Sledgehammer Games got the world buzzing with its reveal trailer for Call of Duty: WWII. The multiplayer is especially interesting with the addition of War mode, where players will fight over different objectives with a more narrative focus, and Headquarters, a social space of sorts where players can congregate.

However, what’s interesting is the listing for Call of Duty: WWII on the Xbox Store (via Reddit). It says online multiplayer will support 2 to 48 players. While the short clip of Headquarters showcased (see here) definitely fits the bill, the listing doesn’t mention it directly. Perhaps this will apply to War mode?

On the Windows Store though, it says online multiplayer willaims at understanding the prevalence of dementia in least developed areas. It thereby attempts to generate a hypothesis on potential risk factors based on differential distribution of dementia across populations. The study, being based in a tribal illiterate population needed a cognitive screen, which was independent of educational status of the study population. The results of this study perhaps also report on the robustness of the scale used in this study.

With demographic ageing proceeding rapidly in all regions world-wide, interest began to focus on the previously neglected topic of dementia in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC).\[[@ref15]\] Perhaps this interest in differential distribution arouse out of curiosity to outline the risk factors for dementia. This probably may also have been because, two-thirds of all people aged 65 years and


NEW YORK - The Buffalo Bills wrapped up a solid 2013 draft on Saturday by taking two safeties, arguably the top placekicker available (Florida State's Dustin Hopkins) and a tight end.

One of the safeties, Nevada's Duke Williams, had a couple of run-ins with the law in college.

Just as linebacker Kiko Alonso -- whom the Bills picked on Friday -- had at Oregon.

Some question the picks.

Is it fair to write off anyone for a dumb thing, or things, they might have done at age 19 or 20 or 21? There is no one-word answer. All depends on the circumstances, and, as Bills GM Buddy Nix once told me, your "gut feeling."

In such a process cartridge, the surface of the photoreceptor is illuminated with light so that an electrostatic latent image is formed on its surface. Then, the developing device develops the electrostatic latent image with a respective color of toner, thereby forming a visible image, known as a toner image.
The toner images of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black formed on the respective photoreceptor are superimposed on the intermediate transfer belt. Accordingly, a multi-color toner image is formed on the intermediate transfer belt. Lastly, the multi-color toner image is secondarily transferred onto a recording medium.
In such a tandem-type image forming apparatus, a problem, known as reverse transfer, may occur in all the process cartridges except for the process cartridge disposed substantially at the initial part,

v.
UNITED STATES.
THE SAN TIRSO.
UNITED STATES
v.
EAGLE TRANSPORT CO., Limited.
No. 228.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
February 26, 1940.
John T. Cahill, U. S. Atty., of New York City (William E. Collins, Sp. Asst. to U. S. Atty., of New York City, of counsel), for appellant.
Kirlin, Campbell, Hickox, Keating & McGrann, of New York City (Robert S. Erskine, of New York City, of counsel), for appellees.
Before SWAN, CLARK, and PATTERSON, Circuit Judges.
SWAN, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a final decree that awarded to the owners of the S. S. San Tirso damages resulting from a collision with the S. S. Pocahontas and dismissed the cross-libel filed by the United States as owner of the latter. The collision occurred in December, 1917, suit


was started in 1928, under a special Act of Congress, and an interlocutory decree in favor of the San Tirso was entered in June 1933. Hearings upon the reference to determine damages extended over several years and the final decree was not entered until June, 1938. This appeal attacks the correctness of the interlocutory *930 decree as well as the amount of damages awarded the appellees by the final decree.
The collision occurred at night during a snow storm with wind of hurricane force and while the vessels were at anchor in New York harbor. Each claims that the other dragged her anchor and that she herself was free from fault. On the merits we are content with the decision of Judge Coleman whose opinion holding the Pocahontas solelyresponsible for the collision is reported in The Pocahontas, D.C., 4 F.Supp. 208. Upon conflicting testimony, much of which was given fifteen years after the events the witnesses attempted to describe, he found that the Pocahontas was anchored to windward of the San Tirso, dragged her anchor and drifted down upon the other vessel, and that the latter's engines were not worked until after the collision. The appellant asks us to reverse these findings of fact and find that the San Tirso was the vessel that moved from her anchorage into collision. But there is ample testimony in the record to support the trial judge's findings, and the same arguments now advanced as to the fault on the part of the San Tirso and freedom from fault by


the Pocahontas were presented to him and are discussed in his opinion. We see no adequate reason for reversing his findings and believe he was right in charging the Pocahontas with sole responsibility. The decision on the merits is affirmed on his opinion.
On the issues relating to damages, the commissioner allowed the owners of the San Tirso the cost of temporary repairs and detention damages (loss of charter hire) at New York, and the cost of permanent collision repairs made in London. These amounts, with incidentals, totalled $26,222.75 and neither party now questions them. He allowed nothing for dry-docking or detention in London because subsequent to the collision the San Tirso suffered heavy weather damage which in itself was sufficient to require upon her arrival in London alay-up for repairs for the full detention period. With respect to these two items the commissioner's report was modified by the district judge, thereby increasing the total award to $58,260.26. Judge Coxe's opinion is reported in The Pocahontas, D.C., 28 F.Supp. 955. This appeal challenges the propriety of any allowance for docking expenses or detention damages in London.
Following the collision the San Tirso was surveyed afloat in New York harbor and Lloyds' surveyor recommended that temporary repairs be made to enable the ship to continue in service and that "the balance of repairs be completed at the first convenient opportunity." All of the collision damage indicated by this report was above the waterline. Upon receipt of Lloyds' report the ship's agent at New York cabled to her London


owner that she had been fouled at anchor, her stem turned over and one life boat smashed, and that temporary repairs were being effected on Lloyds' recommendations. As a precautionary measure due to war conditions the owner immediately reserved space at a London dry-dock to be available upon the vessel's expected arrival but, as the commissioner found, the final decision to place her in dry-dock was not made, and would not have been justified, until after her arrival in London, when the owner first learned that underwater damage might have resulted from her riding the anchor chains of the Pocahontas. During the voyage from New York to London the San Tirso suffered extensive heavy weather damage, which was not in any way connected with the collision damage andwas itself sufficient to require a lay-up for repairs. After discharging her cargo a survey was commenced afloat and repairs were started; and as soon as a dry-dock was available she was moved to it and remained on dry-dock for 29 days. The balance of the repairs were completed after leaving the dry-dock, the entire period of the lay-up being 57 days and 45 minutes. The collision repairs required the use of the dock for only 10 of the 29 days of dry-docking and the libellants limited their claim to a proportionate part of the entire dry-dock expense.
In an able and detailed report the commissioner found that the collision damage did not render the ship unseaworthy or require an immediate lay-up for repairs in London, although the owner


opinion adverse to their contention, as follows: "If the fact be that the whole of the time during which the vessel was detained was occupied by the repairs necessary to make good the collision damage, and by necessary owner's repairs, the work on both proceeding simultaneously and continuously and occupying the whole time, the owner in my opinion would fail to establish a case for anything beyond nominal damages. In such a case as that, on his own showing the vessel was not detained for a moment longer than was necessary to carry out urgently needed repairs, quite apart from the collision damage." See language to same effect in Admiralty Commissioners v. The Chekiang, L.R.[1926] A.C. 637, at 642, reversing the Court of Appeal on other grounds.

The SPA board had met and unanimously agreed to allow him to return to work – until the justice minister was informed. The minister then raised concerns at a meeting with the outgoing chair of the SPA Andrew Flanagan – which was not minuted – and the board subsequently overturned its position. Gormley is still not back at his desk.

Unapologetic

The trouble with this, apart from the obvious problem of the government determining who the top police officer in the country should be, is that the minister had no formal authority to do this. In legal parlance he seems to have been acting ultra vires: beyond his powers.

Thwarting equity

Jun. 29, 2007

1975 photo by Michael Coors Unconstitutional accomplishment

Throughout most of America's history, the law has been an instrument for thwarting rather than fostering the racial equality that so many citizens of good will have so bravely, so doggedly and so long sought.

And throughout that history, to its great and lasting shame, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that use.

Before the Civil War, it blocked congressional efforts to limit slavery's spread, and it denied citizenship even to freed slaves of African descent.

After that awful war and despite the passage of constitutional amendments to guarantee full civil rights regardless of race, the Court approved the pernicious Jim Crow laws by which states such as Kentucky deprived blacks of those very rights and denied to them, under theof bringing together students of different racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds," he wrote.

School authorities may still "find a way to achieve the compelling interests they face without resorting to widespread governmental allocation of benefits and burdens on the basis of racial classification."

That is precisely the challenge that the school board, its new superintendent and federal District Court Judge John G. Heyburn must accept and meet.

Other means must be found to preserve both the diversity and choice that families of both races value so highly. Simply returning to segregated neighborhood schools would sacrifice far too much of both.

Judge Heyburn had ruled in favor of the plan, and his decision compellingly laid out its fairness, the profound public interest in promoting racially integrated education, and the legal folly of requiring


schools to revive today the segregation they had to eliminate yesterday.

His wisdom, and the public's broad support for diverse schools, should encourage the board to reach rather than to retreat in deciding what to do.

As Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in yesterday's stirring minority dissent, "This is a decision the Court and the Nation will come to regret."What Arab Spring? Latest Events in Egypt Practically Erase the History of the Past Two Years

What a performance. A biopic looms. He's already dreaming of Jack Nicholson doing him on screen. Note the self-congratulatory smirk, as he is so confident of having fooled legions of Arab "progressives" - from secular leftists to Nasserists - into believinghe's defending the interests of the perennially invoked "Egyptian people".

Who cares about competing gruesome headlines - "Sinai Militants Execute 25 Egypt Police" versus "Junta Suffocates 38 Detainees in Police Van"? He's winning the "war on terror" - as the new head of the snake, the snake that never got away.

Feel free to bask in the snake's glow. And as a climax to the show, the previous head of the snake could be freed in the next 24 hours. To the delight of the House of Saud, who loved him as one of their own, the snake charmers are about to release Hosni Mubarak.

take a look back at the artist's best music videos throughout his career make sure to cast your vote for the one you love most.

As one of Hunt's most iconic songs, we aren't surprised at how intense and good the "Break Up in a Small Town" video is. Throughout the video you see the singer trying to run away from his past relationship—he is literally running through town—while his ex is moving on and finding happiness once again. There are also glimpses of his house, radio and car burning up as his life is unraveling. It's symbolic and heartbreaking. On a happy note, Hunt looks super sexy surrounded by flames. What, he does!

"House Party"

Clean cut Hunt is out to play in the "House Party" video, which takes placethe man allowing her to drive off to safety.

"Single for the Summer"

The Georgia native headed to Venice, California for this video and it definitely transports you to summer from the moment it starts. You see a girl living it up in California, shopping for sunglasses, running into the ocean, playing in the pool and enjoying each and every sunset. It's the California dream and we totally approve.

"Leave the Night On"

The 34-year-old singer is a taxi driver in Nashville in this video and his cab is a full on party. Lights, pictures, dancing and lots of fun are had in the backseat and it's not exactly what we've experienced when taking a cab home. There are lots of characters jumping in and out of his cab in between Hunt


singing and dancing in the back himself, eating pizza and then eventually heading into a party with some of his customers. Seriously, what cab company is this?

"Raised on It"

If you've ever wondered what it's like to hang out with Hunt back in Cedartown, Georgia then you should watch this video. It shows the artist back in his hometown with friends and family having a blast. He hangs out by the lake and rides four-wheelers in his snap-back hat as his friends ride on mattresses and then skeet shoot before having a crawfish boil. Sounds fun, right?

New Delhi: Tamil Nadu has taken the lead in skill training of urban poor in the past two years, followed by Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. The southern state has also left others far behind in providing financial assistance for setting up individual and group enterprises besides forming maximum number of self-help groups.

According to a release of housing and poverty alleviation ministry, 4.54 lakh urban poor have been imparted skill training during the past two years out of which about one lakh either got jobs or were self-employed. With the ministry aiming at scaling up placement/ self-employment to at least 70%, it is roping in all the ministries concerned. The ministry has proposed to appoint a central Nodal Agency for speeding up disbursal of bank loans tourban poor besides involving non-banking finance institutions and micro-credit agencies. NGOs are also proposed to be involved in a big way for giving a fillip to urban poverty mitigation programmes.

Implementation of National Urban Livelihoods Mission, which was started in September 2013 began in 2014 in 790 cities and towns and the government had later extended it to all the 4,041 statutory cities and towns. "Based on the experience of its implementation, the government is keen to remove hurdles to enable more credit flow for self-employmentand scale up skill training," the ministry said.

Petroscirtes springeri is found in the northwest Pacific, including mainland China, Japan and Taiwan, (Fishbase 2018c; Liu 2008; Wu 2012).

Myripristis botche Cuvier, 1829 family: Holocentridae

A single individual of Myripristis botche Cuvier, 1829 was spotted hovering around a dead coral inthe middle of a sandy bottom habitat at around 10 m in depth during day time on 18 Sep 2016, at South Ninepin Islands (22°15′33”N; 114°20′57″E) (Fig. 5). This soldierfish individual, estimated to be around 20 cm in total length, was observed to remain at the same dead coral for over an hour but would immediately retreat into the dead coral when a torch was used to point to the fish. This species is naturally found in the Indo-West Pacific, including Australia, Brunei Darsm, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Mayotte, Mozambique, New Caledonia, Ogasawara Islands, Philippines, Ryukyu Islands, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vanuata and Vietnam (Fishbase 2018d; Liu 2008; Wu 2012).

LA FILLE DE NULLE PART/GIRL FROM NOWHERE (15) 2012 FRANCE BRISSEAU, JEAN-CLAUDE £15.99
Writer and director Jean-Claude Brisseau stars alongside Virginie Legeay
in this French philosophical horror. Retired maths teacher and widower
Michel (Brisseau) lives alone in a Parisian apartment building while
writing a book on man’s illusory beliefs. When he finds a beaten young
woman (Legeay) on his doorstep he vows to help her by contacting the
police but before he can do so she expresses her wishes to be taken in
and given the chance to rest.

As the pair then get to know each other, Michel makes the girl his

that the 1960 presidential election hinged on the first debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.

If so, the comparisons between Barack Obama and Kennedy took a major hit last night.

David Yepsen of the Des Moines Register has more objectivity than most political editors of newspapers editorially so extreme in their politics. But still, it says a great deal when even the Register's house pundit has this to say about the whuppin' John McCain gave Obama last night in their first debate.

A mini-flap has arisen on the web over this You Tube snippet, which shows Republican vice-presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin being blessed by a visiting African pastor who prays- reflecting his own cultural understanding of the nature of evil- for her protection from witchcraft:

The hypocrisy of theless because of his own inexperience than because the problems he'll face would be insoluable even for a president who was qualified for the job. So, too, are political cycles.

On Nov. 15, 2004, Marine Sgt. Rafael Peralta and his unit were involved in a house-to-house battle with Iraqi insurgents in Fallujah. Shortly after entering one house, Sgt. Peralta was wounded several times- the most serious wound being in the head- by ricocheting bullets from the rifles of his fellow Marines. Eye-witnesses state that lying next to the fallen Peralta was a live grenade which threatened not only his own life, but those of his buddies. According to those eye-witnesses, the wounded Peralta scooped the grenade under his own body, absorbing the blast and saving his fellow Marines at


the cost of his own life. The President of the United States subsequently singled Peralta out by name for special praise as an example of the heroism of our fighting men in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But not so fast. The military doctor who did the autopsy on Peralta's body claimed that one of the bullet wounds to his head would have been almost instantly lethal, and precluded any possibility of &…

It especially explains his view that McCain's forthright affirmation of justification by grace alone, for Christ's sake alone, through faith alone in that discussion was somehow trite and simplistic- and his bizarre misinterpretation of Rick Warren's question regarding McCain's personal religious beliefs as a request for some sort of abstract treatise on "the meaning of faith."

Though the scoffing hasdefeat to racism. But this piece of garbage by shrill, arrogant CNN leftist Jack Cafferty goes even farther.

McCafferty suggests that racism is the only reasonable explanation for the fact that the clearly less qu…

The Brewers' spectacularly stupid move in firing their manager during the last week in the season, while their team was still in contention, may well have demoralized the team and sent them the message that management had given up on them. But it certainly hasn't had whatever effect the Milwaukee management were trying for. The Bruins gave C.C. Sabathia his first defeat since coming over from the American League last night.

An investigation by the Washington Times has revealed that the record of Republican presidential nominee John McCain is more bi-partisan than that of his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama.

Not only that, but it isn't even close.

Obama is running as a "healer." His extreme position as the most liberal member of the Senate, with one of the most partisan voting records in that body, has always cast doubt on that self-characterization- a description which I've always believed far more accurately describes McCain,the road to his doctorate- yet reports having been called a "redneck" by leftists with a third of his education).

Several years ago, then New York Gov. Mario Cuomo made a silly speech about abortion that liberals have been hailing as a masterpiece of theological reasoning ever since.

Somehow, though, pro-choice Catholics have stopped quoting it. Perhaps, with the help of America's Catholic bishops, they realized wherethat argument leads: to the very conclusion Cuomo was trying to avoid.

Speaking at Notre Dame University Cuomo said that while he accepted the teachings of his Roman Catholic faith concerning abortion, he also had an obligation to uphold the law- and that he had no right to impose his religious beliefs on others. He could oppose abortion as a matter of private opinion, he


few weeks of, er...special treatment by the MSM.

Gerald Baker of The Times of London herein explains to his noncomprehending fellow Europeans why Barack Obama is in trouble in this election.

The reason is quite simple: the Obama of rhetoric bears absolutely no resemblance to the Obama of policy and practice.

He's not saying that Obama is a hypocrite. Instead, he's saying that the creature of Chicago's corrupt Democratic machine who has always refused to side with the reformers cannot now plausibly run as a reformer, and that the consistently partisan, party-line Democrat with the most liberal record in the U.S. Senate cannot credibly ignore his partisanship and extremism and run as a healer and a uniter.

Obama the idea is simply too big a disconnect from Obama the man. And thatADAMS: Forty-two.

Great article over at The American Spectator on the cultural extremism of the Olbermanns, Pelosis,and Bidens- with due attention paid to their penchant for ignoring science even while chiding cultural conservatives for allegedly doing so.

As the article notes, notional Catholics Pelosi and Biden base their (unsuccessful) attempts to place their pagan views on abortion, stem cell research, and similar matters within the bounds of Catholic teaching by citing arguments of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas which themselves can be squared with historical Catholic (and Christian) teachings only if one accepts the embryology of the Middle Ages!

pass notice that Keith Olbermann- who would have been fired if he had shown nearly as much partiality between baseball teams while a sportscaster as he showed between politicians not merely as a commentator, but as a news anchor- has been removed by MSNBC from his position as the latter.

The question is why he was ever allowed to compromise MSNBC's credibility by being assigned as a "journalist" to begin with- and even more amazingly, how he was allowed to be so patently non-objective in that role for so long.

Chris Matthews, whose embarassing favoritism toward Barak Obama during the Democratic primary (he famously remarked that every time he heard The One speak, he had "a thrill run up my leg"), was a model of objectivity and decorum next toguilty conscience must be driving it crazy.

downright silly.

Note especially the question of experience, while reflecting that Gov. Palin has been selected to run only for vice-president- and Obama otherwise (has there ever been a lamer argument than the suggestion that the selection of Palin as a possible president sometime in the future in any way diminishes the issue of Obama's utter lack of qualifications to actually serve as President, as of January?).

The Blazers are currently in third in the conference, and the Jazz, presently 10th, are just four games behind Portland, two behind Minnesota, and one behind the No. 8 Denver Nuggets.

Utah has won 13 of their last 15, a streak that started two games after the return of the injured Rudy Gobert.The Cleveland, Ohio, police officer who fatally shot Tamir Rice in 2014 while the 12-year old was playing with a replica gun has been dismissed, but not because of the child's death.

Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland Police Department officer who shot Rice, was found to have lied on his application to the department, according to Cleveland Director of Public Safety Michael McGrath, leading to his termination, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.

Loehmann was found to have concealed from the Cleveland PD that he previously failed a written exam in efforts to join a Cuyahoga County law enforcement agency in 2009. He was later allowed to resign from another county agency after officials found him to be emotionally unstable and unfit to be an officer.

McGrath's announcement on Tuesday came as a result of a more than two-year investigation into the shooting. A panel of city officials – known as the Critical Incident Response Committee – determined that neither Loehmann nor his partner Frank Garmback violated department policies in the shooting.

Garmback, meanwhile, was suspended for 10 days without pay for use of improper tactics while driving to the scene.

The review panel found that Loehmann did not disclose to the Cleveland Police Department that he had been deemed emotionally immature by theIndependence, Ohio Police Department, where he worked prior to joining Cleveland police. A disciplinary letter from the Independence police said Loehmann had "an inability to emotionally function," and cited an emotional breakdown he experienced at a local gun range, the Plain Dealer reported.

Deemed unfit to serve as an officer, Loehmann was allowed to resign from the Independence Police Department after six months.

Loehmann omitted this information in his application to the Cleveland Police Department, the panel found. He also did not notify the department that he had failed a 2009 written exam when he applied to work for the Maple Heights, Ohio

Loehmann had been on the force less than eight months when, on November 22, 2014, he and Garmback were dispatched to Cudell Recreation Center to respond to 911 call about a male, who was "probably a child," holding a gun that was "probably fake."

Rice was playing with an Airsoft replica gun that lacked an orange safety feature that would have indicated it was not a real firearm. Garmback, the driver of the police cruiser, pulled up within mere feet of the boy. Loehmann quickly exited the squad car and, within three seconds, shot at Rice. He later claimed Rice had reached for his waistband. Rice, shot oncein the torso, was not offered first aid by the officers and died the following day.

The information about Rice's probable age and fake gun was not passed on to the two police officers. McGrath said that Cleveland 911 call taker Constance Hollinger was suspended for eight days without pay for failing to relay that information to the police dispatcher who sent the officers to the scene.

Officer William Cunningham was also suspended, for two days without pay, in the case. He was working off-duty at the rec center without department permission on the day of the shooting.

Last year, the city of Cleveland was ordered to pay the family of Tamir Rice $6 million as part of a settlement in the case. Prior to that, in 2015, a Cuyahoga


County grand jury decided against indicting Loehmann for the fatal shooting. Then-Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney Timothy J. McGinty came under much scrutiny, especially from Rice's family, for his handling of the case and the grand jury proceedings.

Rice’s death came only two days after a grand jury in St. Louis County, Missouri, decided not to indict Darren Wilson, a former officer with the Ferguson Police Department, for the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August 2014. The fatal police shootings of both Rice and Brown, as well as many other people of color in the US, triggered mass demonstrations against racial profiling, police brutality, police impunity, and the overall police-court-prison system in America.When senior U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote of NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's "ongoing indifference and disregard" for scientific evidence linking chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, to repetitive hits to the head (whether concussive or subconcussive), he was being polite.

When Sen. Blumenthal wrote that the NHL "would prefer that athletes remain ignorant of potentially very serious threats to their health," he was right.

Just as he, the ranking member of the Senate's Consumer Protection subcommittee, was right when he concluded the following:

"Most puzzling is why you attack others for asking these profoundly important questions. Instead of aggressively seeking to advance the science surrounding concussions, you accuse the ‘media’, ‘media consultants’, lawyers and players of ‘fear mongering’. Your letter suggests that seeking facts about concussions and CTE could instill ‘unwarranted fears’


that lead to ‘depression’ and 'suicide.' Your leadership guides professional players who are admired and revered by junior, college, amateur and youth hockey players. Your failure to take a safety issue seriously could have ramifications for players at every level, seriously affecting public health…The NHL has a duty to behave responsibly in light of its public trust."

In recent weeks, Bettman has doubled down with a 24-page letter denying any link between CTE and the repetitive blows to the head that come with playing in the NHL.

In it, he drew on a few main arguments. First, the commissioner argued that research has concluded that CTE cannot yet be diagnosed in living patients. Second, he plucked cautious phrasing from the Boston University's CTE Center and the National Institutes of Health'sNHL players (Derek Boogaard, Reg Fleming, Bob Probert, Rick Martin, Steve Montador and Larry Zeidel) have been diagnosed with CTE post-mortem.

The United States' Third Circuit Court ruled that there is a link between playing football and developing CTE. In March, the NFL plainly admitted (after years of denial) the link, telling a congressional committee that "The answer to that question is certainly yes," which the Third Circuit Court called "conceding something already known."

The CTE Center at Boston University has, for years now, said that they "believe CTE is caused by repetitive head trauma." They further describe CTE as "a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including symptomatic concussions as well as asymptomatic subconcussive hits to the


players, states unequivocally that "CTE is a progressive degenerative disease that afflicts the brain of people who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries." When Omalu finished his third study into CTE in NFL players, he concluded that he was "absolutely not" surprised that CTE was evidenced in all three studies.

The Mayo Clinic calls CTE "brain degeneration likely caused by repeated head traumas."

American Academy of Neurology meeting found that 40 per cent of retired NFL players showed sings of traumatic brain injury based on scans.

A 2016 Jama Neurology study "associated" CTE with repetitive head trauma.

CTE was first described in 1928 as characteristic of boxers "who take considerable head punishment."

A study conducted by Brandon Gavett, Robert Stern and Ann McKee posits in its first sentence that "it hasalone speak highly of Osborne. He had 44 total tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, six sacks, and two quarterback hurries. He also recovered a fumble. On top of that he was constantly pushing plays to fellow defenders to make because his gap was congested and closed for business.

the Blue Raiders, Ward followed that up with an impressive senior campaign in 2017, breaking up a team-high 14 passes. This year’s deep corner class could make Ward a valuable bargain in the later rounds.

James Hearns, DE, Louisville - Louisville Courier Journal

Hearns, 24, is a veteran at the college level. He played in five different seasons at Louisville, earning a fifth year in 2017 after two appearances in each of his first two seasons. He was a versatile defender, playing almost every position in the front seven, but developed best as a pass rusher, often coming in for third-down situations as a fifth-year senior. A native of Tallahassee, Florida, Hearns finished his career with 28 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, nine forced fumbles and twofumble recoveries. At the NFL scouting combine, tested as a linebacker, Hearns ran a 4.89 40-yard dash with 22 reps on the bench press. He measured 6-foot-3 and 239 pounds.

Jake Campos, OL, Iowa State - NFLDraftScout

Campos was ISU’s anchor on the offensive line that helped pave way for a 1,000-yard rusher and guided an offense that averaged 29.9 points per game, the second-best season average in school history. Campos started all 12 games at tackle and earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors.

He walked onto campus as a DT but 3 days later he was moved to guard and has been starting ever since. His defensive background gives him an added intelligence factor as well as short area athleticism. He has had some injury history


but has toughed it out to start 35 games.

WR Marchie Murdock - Draft Analyst

Pos: Former Illinois receiver who comes off a career campaign. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, immediately gets to top speed and works his hands to separate from defenders. Comes back to the ball out of breaks and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Consistent hands catcher who makes receptions away from his frame. Tracks the pass in the air, plays with terrific awareness and works to pick up yardage after the catch. Neg: Lacks next-level size and speed. Has a very slim body of work. Analysis: After a nondescript career at Illinois, Murdock took his game to another level at Iowa State last season. He does not possess great computer numbers butthe ability to compete for a backup running back spot and may be a competent enough blocker to transition into a fullback role if need be.

Bryce Johnson, OL, St. Cloud State - St. Cloud Times

When Johnson arrived in the fall of 2013, he weighed about 270 pounds and the coaching staff moved him to guard as he sat out a redshirt season. He stayed at guard the next two seasons. ”I liked it quite a bit, but I was a lot lighter then,” he said. “I spent a lot of time working on conditioning and in weight rooms.” That work helped him fill out his frame. Last fall, he was moved to tackle, a position he played at Beaver Dam High School in Wisconsin. ”I’m liking it a


Chinese state media chide U.S. over surveillance revelations

Share

BEIJING — Officially, the Chinese government has nothing to say about Edward Snowden.

But unofficially, its representatives are happy to dump on the United States.

Chinese state media have let loose with a barrage of criticism of the country’s rival world power, especially after former U.S. government contractor Snowden said widespread American Internet surveillance includes spying on people in China.

The English-language China Daily on Thursday ran a large cartoon of a shadowed Statue of Liberty holding a tape recorder and microphone instead of a tablet and torch.

In an editorial dripping with indignation, the Communist Party-run Global Times demanded an explanation on behalf of the government.

“Before Snowden is silenced, Washington owes China an explanation of whether the U.S. as an Internet superpower abused itspower over our vital interests,” the Global Times said.

In Hong Kong, the pro-Communist Party Takungpao newspaper wrote, “If the U.S. is the true defender of democracy, human rights and freedom like it always described itself ... President Obama should sincerely apologize to the people from other countries whose privacy was violated.”

The criticism is irresistible, the opportunity too rich to pass up. For months, the U.S. government has demanded that the Chinese government rein in an extensive military-sponsored hacking operation. During last weekend’s summit between Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, cybersecurity was the main item on the U.S. agenda.

Snowden, who says he leaked National Security Agency secrets and is in Hong Kong, alleged in an interview published Thursday in the South China Morning Post that there had been

Nos. 5,295,697 and 5,464,228 in which a rubber gasket, serving as a fluid seal, includes toothed metal segments spaced uniformly around its inner perimeter. The toothed metal segments bite into the outer surface of the spigot of the inserted pipe and prevent withdrawal of the inserted pipe from a bell end of the other pipe. The metal segments pivot about a retainer bead in the bell end of the other pipe to allow the spigot end to be inserted into the bell end of the othera twist though, 20c from each block goes to Plunket – a charity which New Zealanders agree is a worthy cause.

Each support has two independent slots which are a uniform, longitudinal slot or sash guide-way at one end of the support, and a keyway shaped longitudinal slot or brace guide-way at the other end of the support.
In one design the two slots are stamped in a single metal sheet which forms the support. In another design, a metal sheet is formed with a longitudinal channel, and contains a riveted stop about midway of the support. A portion of the channel to one side of the stop is the sash guide-way. A second sheet of metal with a stamped in keyway shaped brace guide-way is brazed into the channel on the other side of the stop.

a sash attached to a pair of supports by a link bar which is pivotally attached to the side of the sash about midway between the top and bottom of the sash, and pivotally attached to a bracket which is screwed to one end of the support. The support has a track which extends from the bracket to the other end of the support.
One end of the sash has a sliding member which rides in the track. A tapered screw on the sliding member spreadingly engages a pair of movable rods, the outer surfaces of which engage friction members that bear against the track increasingly as the screw is extended between the rods.
Either front or back face of the sash can be made to face inward to aroom, by sliding the end of the sash having the sliding member, through a normal taken from the pivot attachment on the side of the sash, to the track.

An arm which is pivotally attached by a first end to the window sash at about the center of the sash is pivotally attached by the second end to a slider which moves in the track. The slider has a wedge projection.
When the window is closed, the sash can be reciprocated vertically in the track. At the start of angling the sash
