French society as immigration and other trends cause gradual demographic changes in the population.

France made the church and state separate in a 1905 law, but regional and other exceptions have been allowed. The legislation, for example, does not apply in Alsace and Moselle. These areas joined France after World War I and were allowed to keep an 1801 arrangement by which the salaries of Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish clergymen are paid from public funds. The areas also require religious instruction in publicly-run schools.

Hollande's proposal calls for taking regional situations like these into account but does not suggest how they might be accommodated. Sarkozy has criticized the proposal as threatening a century-old consensus on how the separation of church and state is applied.

With only the aid of a scissor-lift and the occasional assistant, Kim hand-painted 270 birds onto shadows of all the continents—the birds' locations are set near their evolutionary birth places. The Saddle-billed Stork, for instance, has one foot planted firmly in southwest Africa, while the Great Spotted Kiwi squats down in New Zealand.

The final, life-size renderings, which have the look and feel of an illustrated science textbook—one of Kim's favorite things to read when she was a child—were each drawn at least four times between the initial sketches and the final products. The paintings are based off of the artist’s well-researched collection of photos, videos, feather specimens, and—in the case of extinct birds—fossils kept by the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in South

She has since gone on to paint giant fish at the Baltimore National Aquarium, Burrowing Owls at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California, and bighorn sheep on the sides of a motel near California’s High Sierras. Her style is highly literal—there are almost no abstractions in her illustrated work.

Nonetheless, imitation can be challenging. The nine-foot Ostrich in the Cornell mural was a battle for Kim, and she had to work relentlessly to hone the subtle yellow streaks under the Cassowary’s bill.

Oscar Gamble dies

Oscar Gamble, who played for seven teams but who was best known for his seven seasons as a New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter, died Wednesday at the age of 68, his agent confirmed.

Gamble reached the majors in 1969 with the Chicago Cubs and played in 1,584 big league games through 1985, batting .265 with 200 home runs and 666 RBIs.

The left-handed hitter remembered by many for his trademark Afro hairstyle barely contained by a batting helmet, hit a career-best 31 home runs for the Chicago White Sox in 1977.

Gamble had joined the White Sox after one season with the Yankees along with future Cy Young Award winner


LaMarr Hoyt in exchange for Bucky Dent.

Gamble returned to New York in a trade in the 1979 season that sent outfielder Mickey Rivers to the Texas Rangers.

He teamed with Reggie Jackson for back-to-back homers in the decisive Game 5 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 1981 American League Divisional Series.Being Humane: Back to Basic

Manchester City swept the board with domestic success last season with urban center implausibly unlucky to miss out on Premier League success.

Originally from Britain, I've lived and been birding for the last 10 years in the Wexford area of Ireland. Wexford is one of the best counties in Ireland for birding. Winter is great for geesewould cut back branches and trunks, using the wood to heat their homes, and rake up leaf litter from the forest floor. In the early 1900s, chestnuts were a major food source for approximately half a million people in Italy, Mathews said.

This photo shows the view from the Monti Pisani in February 2014, looking north toward the Apuan Alps. Andrew Mathews

But as the region became more urbanized and industrialized over time, diets and lifestyles changed. Eventually, many chestnut forests throughout Italy—including the one Mathews was walking through in 2014—were abandoned.

That afternoon in the Monti Pisani, Mathews was with Massimiliano Giambastiani, an Italian biologist who studies cultivated chestnut varieties, and Alessandra del Chiaro, who runs a farm located farther down the mountain that produces olive oil, wine, and chestnuts.


As they looked at the view north of the city of Lucca, Giambastiani recalled a moment in June of 1996.

Gesturing toward a distant mountain, Giambastiani said that he remembered storm clouds forming above it 18 years before. The rains came suddenly, and before long, the earth became unstable. Mud, rocks, and debris slid rapidly down the mountain, overcoming the town of Cardoso below. In some places, the mud was as much as 2 meters deep. Fourteen people died in the event. Many of the areas where landslides took place were abandoned chestnut forests.

The flooding and mudslides that June were notably severe, but they were not an unusual hazard: In Italy, nearly 8 percent of the country is at high or very high risk of landslides. “Quite a fewcoppicing, helped keep the soils in place, he said, because the tree roots remained in the ground. When these practices are abandoned, the ground can become less stable as a result.

As climate change wreaks havoc throughout the world, there are different kinds of knowledge about what can keep landscapes—and people—safe. In places where communities have lived for millennia, local understandings about how to care for the land may differ from scientific perspectives. In contrast with the belief that environments—like parks and protected areas—are better off when people leave, for example, in Italy Mathews found that the opposite could hold true: People were concerned that leaving the land might cause it harm.

These chestnut trees in the Monti Pisani were cut back two years before this photo was taken. The


young girl was named Helena Wayne and she grew up idolizing both her father and her mother.

Everything was perfect. Selina had hung up her Catwoman outfit and Bruce was winding down his Batman operations. One day, a former henchman of Selina’s entered the picture, claiming he had proof that Selina had killed someone during a robbery. He blackmailed the former villain into pulling one last heist. The plan went wrong and Selina died during the adventure. Heartbroken, her daughter Helena took up a costume herself and tracked her mother’s blackmailer down. The Huntress was then born.

From DC Super-Stars #17 (1977)

For the next several years, Helena continued her costumed vigilant ways an Earth -Two. She occasionally teamed up with her friend and colleague Power Girl, but she was mostlyEarth-Two, these were fully separate tales.

During the Crisis on Infinite Earths a few years later, Helena appeared to die. A building fell on top of her but her death wasn’t fully confirmed. In any case, the continuity shuffle in the post-Crisis era did away with her more permanently than any building. Gone was Earth-Two and Helena Wayne vanished into the back issue bin. However, the Huntress name soon lived on.

In 1989, a new title launched named simply Huntress. There, readers were introduced to a woman named Huntress who wore the exact same costume as Helena Wayne. However, this new Huntress was named Helena Bertinelli. Now, Helena had grown up as a member of the Bertinelli family, a mob family based in New York. During Helena’s college years, her


days. While it was never explicitly said, it was pretty apparent that Helena was sexually assaulted during this time. The kidnapper released Helena without issuing a single demand. It was all simply a message meant for her father. Her time with the kidnapper and the things he did to her continued to haunt her throughout her solo series. Honestly, this whole subplot was icky and unnecessary. Future writers would appear to agree with me.

Only a few issues into her brand new career as Huntress, Helena tracked down both Omerta and the man who had hired him. In a bid to convince Helena to work for him, her father’s old rival killed Omerta. This did little to endear Helena to him. She refused to work for her family’s killer.

FromHe used this ability to convince Huntress to join the League. When Helena discovered what Max had done, she went ballistic.

From Justice League America #35 (1990)

The only way Max could stop Helena from killing him was to once again use his abilities. Huntress stayed on with the League for a few issues more, but then just stopped showing up. At around this same time, Huntress was cancelled, leaving Helena without a book. In her few spare moments, Helena was able to stop a nuclear bomb from going off in New York and spent some time on a therapist’s couch before her book got axed.

During Helena’s next appearance, it was clear that a soft reboot had been performed on the character. Tim Drake had just been given the role


of Robin and had two very successful miniseries under his belt. In his third mini, he was teamed up with the Huntress to take down KGBeast, a Russian supervillain. Here, Helena had a very different backstory than before. Now, the Bertinelli mob family had been based in Gotham City and not New York. Though Helena had never killed anyone directly in her solo series from a few year prior, now she had the reputation of being a killer. Also, she had a day job as a teacher, an occupation she’d never held before.

From Robin III: Cry of the Huntress #5 (1993)

During the Showcase revival that same year, Helena’s black sheep credentials became solidified when Jean-Paul Valley, Bruce’s slightly insane replacement as Batman, actually seemed to agree with herfirst, Helena was unsure whether to take Batman up on his offer or not, but she eventually agreed.

From JLA Secret Files and Origins #1 (1998)

No one, not even Helena herself, ever mentioned the fact that she had already been a member of the League several years earlier so perhaps that too had been wiped out in her 1993 soft reboot.

During her time with the League, Helena became a valued member. She helped take down villains as diverse as the genetically modified General and the rogue sun Solaris. However, when the League took on Prometheus for the second time, Helena decided that he simply shouldn’t be allowed to live. He was too dangerous. As she was about to kill him, Batman found her, saw what she was doing, and


immediately fired her.

From JLA #39 (2000)

Over in the Batman line of books, Helena was doing something completely different than in the pages of JLA. There, she had taken up the role of the second Batgirl.

After a massive earthquake had destroyed much of Gotham City, Batman was no where to be seen. Assuming that he’d do more good in Washington as Bruce Wayne, lobbying for government resources in the wake of the earthquake, Bruce had left his city behind. Seeing a void, Helena filled it with her Batgirl idea. When Batman finally returned to his city, he saw the work she was doing and agreed with her ways.

From Batman (Vol. 1) #563 (1999)

Batman gave Helena a bit of latitude in her role as Batgirl. Unfortunately, when she failed ata seemingly impossible task that Bruce had given her, Helena was stripped of her Batgirl role, which eventually went to a young girl named Cassandra Cain. Knowing that Gotham still needed help, Helena went back to her Huntress costume and kept battling back the gangs and supervillains who had remained in the demolished city.

Near the very end of Gotham’s No Man’s Land, Helena found herself going up against Joker and his thugs by herself. After taking several gunshots, Helena could only watch in anger as the Joker put his gun against her temple. Only the timely arrival of Robin and Nightwing saved her life.

From Detective Comics (Vol. 1) #741 (2000)

Later that same night, Joker went on to kill Sarah Essen, Commissioner Jim Gordon‘s wife. It was rough day

The Good Music Station, Inc., and RKO Teleradio Pictures, Inc., on May 21, 1956, applied for Federal Communications Commission approval of assignment of GMS's AM and FM licenses and construction permit to RKO.  The Commission approved the application without hearing on July 18, 1956, pursuant to 309(a) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C.A. 309(a), and the sale was consummated the same day.

Section 309(c) of the Communications Act provides that a grant made without hearing pursuant to 309(a) 'shall remain subject to protests as hereinafter provided for a periodprotest.

Upon appellant's second motion for temporary relief this Court on November 19, 1956, set aside the Commission's order authorizing temporary operation by RKO and directed the Commission to cause reassignment within seven days.

GMS has since operated the station and we are now asked by appellant to make permanent the relief granted on November 19, 1956.

The appeal in No. 13,571 is now dismissed as moot because the Commission's orders postponing the effective reassignment dates were superseded by the Commission's order of November 1, 1956.

Despite the 2400-year-old suggestion made by Hippocrates that children's hip dislocations are curable if treatment is started very early, the preventive approach was proposed by Roser only in 1879 [who] described early diagnosis in newborns and performed reduction by abduction... He also advocated early treatment by fixing babies' hips in abduction. However, surgeons did not readily accept these proposals, despite the good results shown by Froelich in 1906 and Le Damany in 1911.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp admitted that his side had been made to work hard for their 3-0 win at Hannover on Saturday.

Dortmund entered the match on the back of successive home defeats but warmed up for Tuesday's Revierderby against Schalke with an excellent triumph on the road.

Mats Hummels scored just before half-time for Dortmund, who were not at their best before the break but improved significantly after that, with Robert Lewandowski's outstanding solo goal the highlight.

Marco Reus also netted a late strike as Klopp's second-placed side made sure that Bayern Munich had to wait to claim the Bundesliga title.

The nature of the victory – hard-fought and gritty – delighted Klopp, who was happy to see his side respond to a slow start.

"It


was a very tough game," Klopp said.

"Two teams had to work hard. We had to do without some key players and Hannover also had to do without many important players.

"We were able to play in the first half, control without (dominating), and make a standard situation (into) the first goal.

"I was very happy because we are working hard on such things.

"(At) 2-0 we turned in the right direction. From then on it was very difficult for the opponent."

Meanwhile, Klopp hailed as "outstanding" and "a world-class goal" Lewandowski's strike, which saw him collect the ball on the halfway line and cut through Hannover's defence with ease.

Hannover coach Tayfun Korkut paid credit to Dortmund and felt his side had failed to deal with the visitors' gameplan.

Fourier believed that we’d been led astray by idiot philosophers, bamboozled into and stuck in a dead end corner of culture, with no room to move. Guarding that corner, making sure no one could go anywhere, was the concept of the family, and especially the monogamous married couple.Marriage, Fourier showed us, was what happened when two people merged to become one unhappy entropy.Like the gay rights movement of the 1960s/1970s and the queer movement of today, Fourier saw the problems of monogamy and marriage as radiating out into society.

“Perpetual fidelity in love is contrary to human nature,” he wrote. “…marriage cannot offer a single chance of happiness which the couple could not find if they were completely free.”

This was the conclusion of a day-and-a-half in the Rio Grande Valley that was different than previous visits.

good guy with a legitimate explanation? Once you get past the stirring, iconic S on his uniform, Routh resembles not so much the Man of Steel as a GQ cover boy.

As is obligatory in a summer blockbuster, there are some grand-action scenes, including an early one where Superman executes a mid-air rescue of a plane, which he lands gently on a baseball stadium infield in the midst of a game. However, the film contains no memorable dialogue, and some of the most important characters simply fall flat. Lois Lane has never been more important to a Superman plot, and yet, Kate Bosworth's Lois never gives us a reason to believe that any successful adult male, let alone Superman, would fall for her. Kevin Spacey, playing Lex Luthor, hasson." The scene is not just a flashback but a direct incorporation of a scene from Richard Donner's 1978 film in which Marlon Brando played Jor-El. Seeing and hearing the now deceased Brando in the new film give the scene added gravity. As the "Who is the real Superman?" tract notes, the line echoes a scriptural passage that appears regularly in the stands at professional sporting events, John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." There's even a scene where, weakened by kryptonite, Superman is repeatedly beaten and mocked (the passion of the superman?). These are moving scenes, the best of which is a long, lingering shot of


best suited to a marriage with a conventional, upwardly mobile male. One might argue that that question had already been raised in the 1978 film, but that doesn't help clarify anything here. And the accentuation of the divinity of Superman only serves to exacerbate the problem.

Aside from providing a tiresome and predictable means of setting up a sequel, the final plot line commits the film to the post-feminist fantasy about the guy who lures a woman into love and then suddenly just disappears. After he leaves, Lois pens an embittered, but Pulitzer winning, essay, "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." In this case, Superman left for a reason, to visit the location of his destroyed planet, Krypton (although it is never clear why the trip took five years).USA TODAY Sports

Ken Starr is no longer the Baylor president, but he is still defending the school and former football coach Art Briles for their handling of the sexual assault scandal that cost both Starr and Briles their jobs.

Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival, Starr offered support for Briles, who was removed as coach in May after an investigation by the Pepper Hamilton law firm found the football program failed to adequately deal with student complaints accusing players of sexual assault.

“A grave injustice was done to Art Briles,” Starr said. “Coach Briles has been calumnied ... it’s completely unfair.”

Starr denied there was a larger issue for the university after two football players were found guilty of assaulting two students and another former player is indicted on a similar

Bellarmine University is considering moving the remainder of its 22 varsity sports from the NCAA Division II to the Division I level, and may have a home in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Representatives from the ASUN Conference were on Bellarmine's campus last week to discuss a possible move, a source with direct knowledge told the Courier Journal on Thursday. The conference is expected to make a decision by May 15.

Bellarmine media relations director Jason Cissell and assistant athletic director John Spugnardi declined to comment. Representatives from the ASUN conference did not respond to a Courier Journal email seeking comment.

The news comes as Bellarmine continues to hold internal discussions and a series of community town halls to get input about effects of transitioning to the higher level.

Cissell confirmed the newsabout the meetings to the Courier Journal on Thursday, but declined to discuss a potential transition publicly, including a timeline and whether the school has the athletic facilities capable of competing in Division I.

The potential move is part of a planned university-wide growth effort, which would not only increase enrollment but also the school's local footprint. Spugnardi released the following the statement:

"In January 2018, Bellarmine began developing a new strategic plan to shape the university's future," the statement said. "In addition to a number of academic and administrative priorities, the plan calls for the university to review its athletics conference and divisional alignment. The goal of this review is to ensure the university is maximizing student opportunities for leadership and growth, alumni engagement, and the reach, visibility and


impact of Bellarmine both regionally and nationally. This process is under way, with opportunities for continued input from the Bellarmine community."

Bellarmine, a private university, currently has 22 athletic programs, 21 of which compete at the Division II level in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. One program, men's lacrosse, already competes at the Division I level in the Southern Conference.

Previously:Bellarmine 'had no answers' in loss to Southern Indiana in regional final

Perhaps the team with the most exposure is the men's basketball team, which has been competitive in exhibition games against Cincinnati and Louisville in the last two years, and won the 2011 National Division II Championship.

Long-time coach Scott Davenport, who has experience coaching at the Division I level as an assistant at Louisville, expressed support for exploring the move,saying "anything that's great for Bellarmine University will be great for Bellarmine basketball."

"Whatever happens, I'm proud that they are spending an unbelievable amount of time and effort and energy in doing what's best for everybody — the staff, the students, their families, the alumni, everybody," he said.

Moving to Division I from the GLVC is not unprecedented. Purdue Fort Wayne jumped up after the 2000-2001 season, and joined the Summit League in 2007. More recently, Northern Kentucky left the GLVC after the 2011-2012 season, and then eventually joined the Horizon League.

The move paid off for both schools, at least in terms of men's basketball. The Mastodons upset then No. 3-ranked Indiana in 2016, the school's first win over a top-25


team in program history. The Norse advanced to the NCAA Tournament this year for the second time in three years.

Davenport said the fact that Bellarmine is even exploring a move is "what you're supposed to do."

"That's very comforting to me as the head basketball coach ... that our leadership is spending the effort and the time to do what's best and to look at everything," he said.

The ASUN Conference is already home to a number of schools that formerly competed at the Division II level, including Florida Gulf Coast, Liberty and North Alabama. Liberty and North Alabama were the last to join the conference in 2018.

Bellarmine's total athletic expenses are roughly half the average of the nine current full-time members of the ASUN conference, or just shy of$19 million, according to figures from the U.S. Board of Education.

Bellarmine's total expenses were $8.57 million in 2017-2018. The lowest of the ASUN programs were North Alabama ($9 million) and North Florida ($11.9 million). Liberty has the highest total expenses in the ASUN ($40 million.)

The required transition period for schools moving to Division I is four years. Teams are allowed to compete at the level, but are not eligible to play for championships until the transition period is over.

Bellarmine's campus-wide strategic plan is an initiative that was continued by university president Susan Donovan, who joined the school in July 2017.

The school has successfully completed a $100 million capital campaign, and established a steering committee that met with campus stakeholders, including students and faculty, in an effort to increase

How had it come to this, eh? The usual refrain. He drifted across the street like he'd nothing in mind but a coin for his music, letting the notes spill out into the murk. Across past the pie stall, the fragrance of cheap meat making his stomach grumble, and he stopped playing to offer out his cap to the queue. There were no takers, no surprise, so he headed on down the road to Verscetti's, dancing in and out of the tables on the street and sawing out an Osprian waltz, grinning at the patrons who lounged there with a pipe or a bottle, twiddling thin glass stems between gloved fingertips, eyes leaking contempt through the slots in their mirror-crusted masks. Jervi was sat near thethat Samiravi had been at work. The young woman's eyes were now not quite so close together, nor her nose so long and pointed. Her lips had become fuller and a hairy mole on her chin was gone. Her upper and lower garments had filled out. She glowed with health and erotic promise.

From the way she was looking at him, it seemed that he, too, had been reordered and improved. He felt his nose and found it handsomely reshaped, while a surreptitious hand slipped into a pants pocket quietly determined that his initial inquiry about prodigiousness had been remembered and fully answered as well.

"No, I still have to talk to Gigi."

I knew that's what she'd say. "So what did the bartender say?"

"Not a damn thing. He's a zombie."

Gigi's got herself a zombie bartender? I chuckle. "Cute. So a shot of whiskey's a shot of whiskey, nothing skimmed off the top and nothing extra for the band." I glance over, and sure enough, the bartender's standing in the same place, wiping down the surface, back and forth, over and over. His skin is gray, his expression slack.

"She'll talk to me, I just have to wait her out."

"Not a thing you can do about it if she doesn't want to talk to you."

She's got her chin in her hands and is lookingcould keep the money?"

Marisa was indignant. "How do we know it wasn't you and Tyler who came back and took it?"

This part of the situation was my doing, and it had the potential to become ugly. But it wouldn't have happened if the kids hadn't been larcenous little punks. So I didn't feel too bad about it.

"You'll have to take my word for it," Donny said. His tone shifted to a ridiculous coo that he probably thought sounded seductive. "I wouldn't shit you, Marisa. I like you too much. That's why I wanted to bring you in on this. But Kaylee and Jared were your idea, so if they ripped us off, it's your fault."

Marisa gave a sharp laugh. "You didn't bring me in because you like me.

He'd seen the old pictures from the EPA reports, and a big spread in _LIFE_ magazine from decades ago, before the cleanup. Fifty square miles of lifeless landscape, nothing but poisonous red hills as far as the eye could see. Except for the smattering of houses, churches, and the central hub of the mine facility, it'd looked like the surface of Mars.

Bethany continued, intermittently raising her eyes to see if he was listening.

At the moment—between Wonders, so to speak—we found ourselves in the port city of Tyre, which had its own long and fabled history. Tyre was perhaps most famous for the production of dye from the murex shell; every king in the world insisted on being robed in Tyrian purple. Tyre also happened to be the birthplace of Antipater, so our visit here was in some ways a homecoming for him.

Thus did my thoughts ramble as I sipped my third cup of wine. Antipater was actually ahead of me, on his fourth cup. It was uncommon for him to indulge in immoderate drinking. His abandonment of

On our way back to the Murex Shell, we stopped at the square where the dyers had earlier spread their cloth, and I was amazed to see that the green had indeed turned to purple as it dried.

"Like magic!" I whispered.

Antipater only smiled and nodded.

That night at the Murex Shell, in a small private room off the tavern, we dined on a salad of octopus and hearts of palm followed by fish stew, served by the same pretty blonde who had brought our wine the night before. Her name, I learned, was Galatea.

Iget up in the morning thinking, "Well, who will I kill today?" I don't intend harm to anybody. I never have.

I'd hoped all that was behind me. But now Loni's been murdered by an unknown party for unknown reasons, and it's all beginning to seem horribly familiar.

By the time the police interview me, late at night, reliving my old memories has me emotionally exhausted and discouraged and depressed, and I don't have to act at all in order to seem like Loni's stunned, grieving boyfriend. It's only the knowledge that if I misstep, I might be blamed for everything that keeps me from lurching in the direction of the nearest tequila bottle and drowning in it.

The police interview goes better than I expected. Turns out that the production

He worked a hard half hour, at which time Nettie came out of the house, carrying a glass of water and a handful of fat carrots with the loose greens still attached. "I'm sure that's at least six carrots' worth of work," she said, smiling at him.

Bast took the glass of water, drank half of it, then bent over and poured the rest over his head. He shook himself off a bit, then stood back up, his dark hair curling and clinging to his face.

Church of England Rejects Women Bishops

Lisa Fullam November 20, 2012 - 7:34pm

The General Synod of the Church of England rejected[1] a proposal to permit women to serve as bishops. In order to pass, a 2/3 majority vote was required in all three houses: the house of bishops, of clergy, and of laity. The measure passed easily in the first two, and was approved 132-74 in the house of laity, falling just 6 votes shy for 64%. (One wonders how the Supreme Governor of the C of E, Queen Elizabeth, feels about this exclusion of women from the episcopacy. I suspect she is not amused.) Both the outgoing and the incoming Archbishops of Canterbury spoke in favor the measure, along with 72.6% of the synod delegates. Overall, 74% ofthese are clearly out of step with the laity they represent. We'll see. And a final thought: some believe that Church unity requires yielding to the voices of the most conservative. In fact, today's vote reveals that Church unity is a trickier beast. Today the minority against women bishops set themselves against most laity, clergy and bishops in their own church, and reinscribed a division within the worldwide Communion. 23 women are presently serving as bishops in the Anglican Communion worldwide, including Episcopal Church (USA) presiding bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. The most recently elected is Bishop Ellina Wamukoa of Swaziland. It is a sad day for those of us who rejoice at women's leadership in the Christian churches, but I cannot believe that this is the end of


Student 'sells' virginity

Wellington - A 19-year-old New Zealand student "sold" her virginity to a stranger for more than 45 000 New Zealand dollars ($31 500) to pay university fees, according to news reports on Wednesday.

The student, who called herself "Unigirl" in an advertisement on an auction website, said she received more than 1 200 bids from the 30 000 people who viewed her ad online.

"I have accepted an offer in excess of 45 000 dollars, which is way beyond what I dreamed," she said.

In the ad, she said she was attractive and still a virgin.

"I am offering my virginity by tender to the highest bidder as long as all personal safety aspects are observed," she said on the website Ineed.co.nz.

A six-month investigation into the incident by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which took into account changes that Tesla made to Autopilot after the crash, including more aggressive alerts when drivers remove their hands from the wheel and system disengagement when those warnings are ignored, cleared the company of a "safety-related defect trend,” though

Sky test for May

image copyright AP image caption The Financial Times says it is unclear what scrutiny Mr Murdoch's deal will face from the government

For the Financial Times, Rupert Murdoch's bid to take over Sky takes centre-stage , with the newspaper calling it the first big test of UK


media regulation since Theresa May became Prime Minister.

The FT looks back to Mr Murdoch's failed bid five years ago - when Mr Murdoch's Fox company was part of the News Corp group - and notes that the then-Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt sought assurances of editorial independence from the bidder.

The newspaper says it's unclear whether the renewed attempt - with Fox now separated from News Corp's papers - will face similar scrutiny.

The Guardian quotes company insiders expressing confidence the deal will clear regulatory hurdles, because Fox has now separated from News Corp.

It also speculates that the European Commission is likely to take an interest, following Sky's acquisition of Sky-branded services in Germany, Austria and Italy in 2014.

Remarks made by Boris Johnson regarding the UK's closest ally in the Middle East have led to the foreign secretary being called into Number 10, the Sun reports

After video emerged - published by the Guardian - that Mr Johnson had accused Saudi Arabia of taking part in "proxy wars" in the region, Downing Street issued a statement distancing itself from his comments.

The newspaper reports that Prime Minister Theresa May called Mr Johnson in for "an unplanned one-on-one meeting" on Thursday night.

But rather than a dressing down, the Sun's sources said she issued no reprimand and was "being very friendly" to the foreign minister, signalling she was "backing down" from the row.

Pro-Russian Turks 'take top posts'

The Times reports that Turkey is replacing pro-western military officers in diplomatic and Nato posts across Europe with pro-Russian hardliners.

The newspaper cites a leaked email - sent by recently-dismissed Turkish officers to the alliance's most senior commander- warning of a "very worrying" rise in Turkish officers deployed to Nato who, the email says, have a "radical mindset" and "hate western organisations".

In its leader, the Times urges Nato to reapply for its job as Turkey's natural home, warning that the country's dependability as an ally is becoming open to question.

'Shut up Remainers'

In an exclusive first interview with new UKIP leader Paul Nuthall, the Daily Express writes the headline : "It's time for the moaning Remainers to just shut up."

The MEP used the interview with the newspaper to call for a ban on women wearing burkas in public places and warned MPs his party would "take votes" of those who try to "backslide" on Brexit.

Mr Nuthall also said without a strong UKIP, the UK "won't get the Brexit we voted for".

And in environmental news, the Financial Times highlights what it calls a "breakthrough" for technology considered crucial for the transition from fossil fuels to renewableenergy.

The paper reports that several battery storage plants have won subsidies from the National Grid to provide electricity when supplies run low.

The FT describes power storage as key to managing supply and demand as cleaner, but more volatile, renewable sources are phased in - calling the winning bids a sign that battery technology is improving, and that the British energy sector is changing rapidly.

MANILA, Philippines -- PBA Commissioner Chito Salud came down hard on Renald Balkman owing to his past history of melting down.

The decision to ban him for life in the PBA was not only based on Balkman's latest outburst but by thoroughly examining his past history of emotional outburst on the court including his head-butting incident in a FIBA Americas qualifiers two years ago while playing for Puerto Rico and his involvement in a melee during a pre-season game in Cebu City, curiously, against Alaska again.

"In arriving at this decision, I took into consideration Balkman's track record as a player, including the head-butting incident during a FIBA-Americas game between Puerto Rico and Venezuela and his altercation with the bench of the Alaska Aces during a pre-season game in CebuCity," Salud said in a statement released to the media.

Below is the footage of Balkman's head-butting incident against Venezuela's Greivis Vasquez from Youtube.

Balkman was averaging a tournament-best 28.2 points per game before he snapped after he was held down to a personal-worst six points in a 73-83 loss to Alaska last Friday night. The 2006 20th overall pick by the New York Knicks in the NBA, who also played for the Denver Nuggets, has led Petron to a 5-2 win-loss cards in his short stint in the PBA while averaging 25 points, 13.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.7 blocks.

Salud met with Balkman for 45 minutes then talked with his team and technical staff for almost two hours before announcing the landmark decision.

"I also took into consideration Balkman's evident


disregard for local and the host country's sensibilities highlighted by his choking ac on-court in full public view of his own teammates who was trying to pacify him," Salud added. "Stiff as it maybe, this decision upholds the tenets of contextual accountability and the overall interest of the league and the fans."

Rossum's universal robots: not the machines.
One assumes in the era of rapidly expanding technology that robot implies mechanical beings. This is not how the word was used initially and represents one of those metamorphoses to another conceptualization. This is an investigation into Capek's original play, Rossum's Universal Robots, for an understanding of his intended meaning. Karel Capek was Czechoslovakian. His play was written in 1920, first performed in 1921, and presented in New York in 1922. It has come to symbolize Western society's feelings about robots. Capek's writing and the original play might clarify the definition of robot for the record, in light of some controversy as to whether the da Vinci Surgical System is a robot or not. THE PLAY: Rossum was a great physiologist who chemicallysynthesized living protoplasm and was capable of constructing artificial life forms: first, a dog; then, a man. His son was an engineer who quickly was able to manufacture large numbers of humanoids at lower costs " ... producing a robot has been brought down within 15 years from $10,000 to $150." This is the first foreshadowing of Moore's Law. But critically, these are not machines, even though his robots outperform humans. The story turns sinister as the robots eventually revolt and kill their creators. Like many things in our vocabulary, the term robot was initially used for a biologic organism that was created for servitude. Defined by the Robotic Institute of America (1979), a robot is ...

It’s often thought of as the most outlandish of concepts, but surprisingly, there are many verified statements from people who have held the highest positions possible within the government, military, academia and politics regarding UFOs.

Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister, the man responsible for unifying the Canadian Air Force, Army and the Navy into one united force now known as the Canadian Forces is one such person; he said this:

“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. Trillions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have deliberately been kept inmany years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee

” Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From “UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2″, Written by Richard Dolan

And even more


whistle blowers can be found at the National Press Club Disclosure Conference.

Governments have admitted to allocating resources and having programs that study the UFO phenomenon, which suggests that they believe that there is at least a chance of the phenomenon being real. The RCMP, Transport Canada, and the Department of National Defence had recently admitted to tracking UFOs and investigating them.

Several documents have resulted from inbestigations like these, such as a stack of UFO files released from the United Kingdom.

Even the National Security Agency (NSA) has been getting in on the action, revealing a UFO is being tracked on radar. is one example. A U S Defense Intelligence Agency and NSA report was written up, describing a UFO encounter.

Amber Rudd is facing growing calls to clarify the extent of her involvement in tax havens following the Guardian’s disclosure that she had been a director of two companies in the Bahamas.

The home secretary’s name appears in a leaked list of directors of companies from the Caribbean tax haven, which was obtained by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Rudd served as a director of the Advanced Asset Allocation Fund and Advanced Asset Allocation Management from 1998 to 2000, according to the documents.

A spokesperson for Rudd said that her business

The question he posed was: “Assuming that a newly born pair of rabbits, a male, and a female are put in a field, how many pairs will be there in one year?” He made the assumptions that:

During the first month, the newly born pair of rabbits are yet to reach sexual maturity and, therefore, cannot mate. In the second month, the rabbit mate and give birth to one pair of rabbits at the end of the same month, making it two pairs of rabbits in total. On the third month, the original female rabbit mates and gives birth to a second pair, making it a total of three pairs infor two workouts this week- 3x2 mile Tuesday and 16x400 Thursday.

Hickory HillI moved back to Richmond after graduating in 2004 expressly to live with Jon Lauder and Tim Caramore and train like beasts. I got a job in November and moved after Thanksgiving, which coincided with my taking a lot of time off of running hard. When I started up again, Tim was in relatively poor shape and Jon was pretty much training a lot because he didn't work steady jobs.In the meantime, I became incredibly involved in my job. I was one of three reporters at a weekly paper based in Hanover County, all of whom were 22.Our editor was hired to replace the late publisher who lead the Herald-Progress to prominence in local news reportage. The


new editor was not quite up to the task of continuing the high performance of the paper, nor was the new management. After buying the H-P, management fired the photographer and wore down two reporters until they left. News coverage was in shambles, and the editor was in over his head.After a few weeks of orientation and getting to know the county, I started getting more aggressive and ambitious about how the paper would work. With an editor who was a few months longer tenured than I, I didn't have the luxury of institutional knowledge on which to rely. I took bound copies of prior years' papers home with me to study in the evenings and on weekends.I started experimenting with photography and found, for an amateur, thatbe based on numbers alone, so I had to see it for myself. On foot. Running. There was a train station there, for goodness sakes!Chances are it's private property, though I think the signs refer to the land on either side of the road. People who have seen me running there haven't said anything to me, so they either don't care, don't have any authority, or else they wanted to try to take me by surprise.Wickham and Hickory Hill Roads eventually degrade into gravel and dirt, so the footing gets softer.From the Hanover County Information Officer Tom Harris: The Hickory Hill plantation spreads more than 3,000 acres between Ashland and Hanover Courthouse and is still owned by members of the Wickham family, who built it in 1820.

on the property are believed to have been brought from Japan by Commodore Matthew Perry as a result of his historic visit in 1854. General William H.R. "Rooney" Lee, son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, was captured by Union soldiers on the property but his younger brother escaped capture by hiding in the plantation's famous box hedges. The property is the largest still in the hands of one family in Virginia. The main house of this plantation includes an 1857 wing and an 1875 front section built to replace an 1827 section that burned.I left the Herald-Progress in July 2005, to work at the Richmond Times-Dispatch. I feel like I gave up a little bit, because I knew nobody would put in the kind of work I onceperson exerts too much influence in the competition division, but I digress.

The rank-and-file members of the club are quick to volunteer to help hold a race, Janice Boyko does a great job organizing and Dave Sobal puts together safe and high quality courses.

Sadly, I was only able to make it to one of the three races in the summer cross country series because of conflicting road races. Each meet offered three different races:

2k- out and back on the Tranquil Trail4k- out on the Traquil Trail, along the lawn bowling courts on Reynolds, right on the Horseshoe Trail, right on the Kensington Trail, left on the Homewood Trail and back on the Tranquil Trail.

8k- The 4k course, then up the Falls Ravine Trail, around the exercise circuit twice and


back down Falls Ravine.

If they wished to double, 4k runners could continue on the 8k course.

I ran the 4k in July and broke the course record by one second (13:02). It still stands, but only because Saucony dropped its sponsorship after that summer and West Penn ceased the race.

The club still holds a fall race, the Pittsylvania XC Challenge, though it too has waned. There was talk in 2008 that West Penn would drop it, too, and I made a bid for the Hounds to keep it running, but once Janice took the offer to the board, it was swiftly quashed by someone in charge. The club later cancelled its Gold Medal Alumni 5k scheduled for the summer and replaced the Pittsylvania race. The new race raises moneyfrom the total, leaving me with this route.

A new trail meant a new set of half-mile markers, and new travelers. After a young bicyclist nearly ran me off the road with his awkward riding, I sped ahead and ran in the wake of a middle-aged man who was going steady at 6 minute pace. After hitting Bon Air Park, though, I tired of him and pushed ahead, approaching what was initially the 15-mile mark with a chance to hit 90 minutes. I knew I was running fast, uphill, but I didn't realize how far off my distance was. With the route deviation, the 15-mile mark was at the top of the second-steepest hill I would climb, and once I made it to the top I began to slow

In this work the author reviews, along general lines, the origins and development of the social sciences in the health field in Brazil, with emphasis on the part played by the departments of preventive and social medicine, which extended the scope of undergraduate medical school instruction in the sixties to embrace social issues, and introduced the first subjects and disciplines of the social sciences. He also describes graduate instruction and makes general remarks on social science research in the health field. Originally presented at a Seminar on "The Social Scientist in the Health Field," where participants had to relate their personal experiences, the work tries to evaluate some aspects of the author's experience.

My history – and a civil rights timeline. I was a senior at Ponderosa High School in Shingle Springs, CA, when the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES passed a final version of the Civil Rights Act on February 10, 1964… The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Passage of the Act ended the application of “Jim Crow” laws, which had been upheld by the Supreme Court in the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson, in which the Court held that racial segregation purported to be “separate but equal” was constitutional.”


a typical teenager," Dana recalls. "She talked on her cell phone too much and argued about her curfew." But she also was a good student, was involved in church activities, and played a sport every season  volleyball, basketball, softball. And she was an unusually thoughtful daughter. "She'd get home from school before I was back from work," says Dana, "and she'd make sure the house was totally clean, even the kitchen." What's more, Kayla always had fresh flowers in a vase on the table for her mom. "They might have been lilacs from the garden, or even just dandelions," says Dana, "but she knew how much I liked them."

After Kayla got her driver's permit that Monday afternoon, however, something odd happened: Instead of begging to get behindthe wheel, she asked to go home because she didn't feel well. Her stomach hurt that evening, and she stayed home from school the next day. "I assumed she had the flu," says Dana. But Kayla's symptoms quickly turned serious. She developed bloody diarrhea early Wednesday morning and was admitted to the local hospital. The doctors thought she had C. difficile  a nasty bacterial infection  and treated her with antibiotics. Indeed, Kayla seemed to be getting better when suddenly, the following Monday, her kidneys shut down. "She needs to go on dialysis," the doctors told Dana and her husband, Rick; late that night, Kayla was transferred to Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, about 40 miles from their home in Monroe, IA. Dana rode in the


But by Wednesday, she was lethargic and confused, and then she had a seizure and had to be put on a ventilator. On Friday, November 2, she developed a racing heart and soaring blood pressure and had a series of small strokes that left her brain-dead. "Then we had to make the hardest decision of our lives," says Dana. "We had to let our little girl go."

With the life support disconnected, surrounded by everyone she loved--her parents; her sister, Kristin; her boyfriend and his parents; her aunt; her grandparents; and her minister, reading a prayer  Kayla died at 10 o'clock in the morning. "I had a very healthy child," says Dana Boner. "Ten days later, she was gone."

Adding to Dana's grief were two mysteries that have neverbeen solved: First, health officials have been unable to discover exactly which food made Kayla sick. Dana suspects it was a packaged pizza that was recalled around the time of her daughter's death, but that was never proven.

The second mystery is one that affects not just the Boner family, but the entire nation: Why hasn't the government banned the culpable organism  later identified as E. coli O111  from the food supply? The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has long known it's dangerous, yet it has not been placed in the highest-risk category. As Dana Boner puts it, "I feel like my kid was murdered."

These images feature Quentin Lance, who was last seen with potentially fatal injuries in last season's cliffhanger, looking perfectly healthy. There's a chance that this is a dream sequence, but more likely the injuries weren't as severe as they seemed.

Arsenal, or Roy Harper, was a teenage sidekick of Arrow in the comics, and eventually became a member of the Justice League of America with the persona Red Arrow. Caity Lotz's appearance as Canary also raises some questions, as she was last seen defecting to the League of Assassins. Has she returned to interact with Arrow as a friend or foe?

The facts necessary to a determination of the questions raised by this appeal briefly are as follows: On April 5, 1949, the city of Minneapolis passed a resolution providing for the commencement of condemnation proceedings under its city charter in connection with a grade separation under the tracks of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Company at the intersection of East Franklin and Cedar avenues. Appellants are the owners of lots 18 and 19 of block 1, Foster's Addition to Minneapolis, on which they operate a


box factory. This property was located on the fringe of the land required for the street improvement project. In the original condemnation proceeding the city sought to take the north one foot of lot 19, which would include a brick wall on the north side of appellants' factory, and appellants were awarded $50 for the land to be taken and $1,950 as damages for the rebuilding of the wall. Appellants, contending that there were other elements of damage which had not been taken into consideration, filed objections to the confirmation of the report of the commissioners, but the report was confirmed. On March 1, 1950, appellants filed their notice of appeal to the district court.

Streep, who heads a festival film jury for the first time, said she was committed to equality and inclusion "of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions." The seven-member jury will choose the winners of the Golden Bear and various Silver Bear awards at the first of the year's major European movie festivals.

"This jury is evidence that at least women are included and in fact dominate this jury, and that's an unusual situation in bodies of people who make decisions," Streep said. "So I think the Berlinale is ahead of the game."

Eighteen movies are in contention for the Golden Bear prize at the festival, which is in its 66th edition this year and runs Feb. 11-21.

Festival director Dieter Kosslick said recently that many movies at this year's2-week period; the training program was based on endpoints of the EBC-Psy intervention. The psychological measurement was administered by an experienced psychologist. Both psychologists were blinded as to the aim of the study. The scoring of the testing protocol was conducted by external blind judges. All EBC-Psy intervention sessions were recorded by digital camera; seven random sessions were used for internal quality control review and clinical supervision by a clinical team.

Medical staff members were involved in the enrolment of the sample and were in charge of managing the clinical path and check-up.

Psychological Testing
---------------------

The psychological measurement was conducted by self-reported testing to evaluate four emotional variables: anxiety, angry, psychological distress, and depression.

The following psychological tests were used: the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) to measure the anger state, the


quality of mood. The indicator "recovering one's personal perspective and expectations" is related to rediscovering personal characteristics and life priorities by a cognitive restructuring of the reaction after diagnosis and the processing of modified priorities in life, each based on the activation of a psychosocial context, particularly with family trained by the treatment team. The indicator "changing one's life vision and renewing oneself" is related to an enhanced positive self-perception and a high compliance with a healthy lifestyle. The indicator "body adaptation" consists of strengthening the acceptance of body image through a cognitive and positive view of the modified body (body satisfaction, self-image, sexual issues). Finally, the "positive assertiveness" indicator works to modulate the fear reduction, balancing the positive and negative effects of one's own experience, and anacceptance of the traumatic experience of BC by adjusting to the new reality; both tend to improve awareness of management strategies and provide opportunities to carry on with daily life.

Each session features four phases. The first phase is anamnesis and detection data: detection and collection of the information about the patient, her life, her experience, and her health condition. The second phase is the pre-clinical arrangement: the choice of psychological strategies based on the relevant and urgent needs of the patient. The third phase is a clinical-cognitive elaboration: adaptive processing by the exploration of negative feelings in order to boost self-awareness. The fourth phase is the closure of the clinical session, addressing the weaknesses and strengths of one's own disease experience.

pictures of this unusual cloud that they decided it needed a name, Undulus asperatus (don't you love how clouds are classified by a Linnean system, just like living things?). Asperatus means agitated, and undulus means waves. Pretty accurate, no?

In the great cloud name game, people universally recognize the World Meteorological Organization as the entity with the power to create new cloud classifications. They publish theInternational Cloud Atlas, basically a field guide for the sky. (Completely unrelated: There is a novel by David Mitchell called Cloud Atlas that was just made into a movie.) The newest cloud in their collection is Cirrus intortus, added in 1951, and the latest edition of the International Cloud Atlas was published in 1975.

As far as why asperatus forms, it is believed that theFired FBI Director James Comey is expected to testify in public before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week after having been "cleared for takeoff" by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a source close to Comey told NBC News.

The source, a former law enforcement official, declined to say whether Mueller had specifically authorized Comey to discuss his interactions with President Trump, but said it was reasonable to expect that subject to come up.

Mueller was named earlier this month by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to be special counsel overseeing the sprawling FBI investigation into Russian election interference.

People close to Comey have said he is eager to testify in public in the wake of his abrupt dismissal, which Comey allies believe was an attempt to thwart the FBI's investigation into whether


the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia's election interference.

But there had been some question as to whether Mueller would seek to block Comey's testimony, for fear it could impede his investigation.

When White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked Wednesday about Comey's upcoming testimony, he declined to answer and said he was referring all media questions on the matter to President Donald Trump's outside counsel, Marc Kasowitz.

In a short note, the Little Rock Film Festival announced that it would be closing down. The development took many by surprise — World Shorts curator Justin Nickels told the Times he had learned of the decision 12 hours earlier. Today, the Times spoke to festival founders Brent and Craig Renaud, who explained the move had been under consideration for at least a year and was the result of new projects and time commitments that would prevent both filmmakers from giving the festival the attention it required.

"The festival is healthier than it's ever been in terms of staff and funding, " Brent Renaud said. "We've probably increased sponsorship every year, increased the number of films every year — and we would have done the exact
