the proposition that Trauskle Co. was the agent or alter ego of June, Inc., because both corporations were 'all in the family,' and that the January 29, 1964, conveyance of the five acres from June, Inc. to Trauskle, was a fraudulent conveyance as against the United States as a creditor by reason of project-created benefits accruing in the tract remaining which would be due the United States as a set-off for the taking of the five acres in Tract One.  On March 30, 1971, the court filed a memorandum opinion rejecting the argument, that the conveyance was a fraudulent conveyance as to the United States.  The court held that the United States had to prove that the ten acres were under the common ownership of June,Inc., at the date of taking and that to do this it had to produce sufficient evidence to warrant the conclusion that Trauskle was the agent or alter ego of June, Inc.

"Two valuations were submitted by the United States as to just compensation without objection by the defendants.  The first was $6,700 for the five acres as a result of set-off benefits for project-created enhancement to the five acres remainder based on common ownership.  The second was $40,200 for the same five acres with no project-created enhancement set-off benefits based on separate ownership.  The latter was submitted with the understanding that the United States did not waive its right to appeal."

Author Robert Swope's hands-on approach to history comes to the forefront when he speaks to a group of fellow history enthusiasts. In his talks, he not only conveys his extensive knowledge of the different eras he has studied, he also gives his audience the opportunity to view photographs of the period as well as actual items from his collection of historical artifacts.

Swope, 65, was born in Turbotville, Pa., a town of 800 people. He graduated from Warrior Run High school which is


located on the site of a fort that was destroyed during the Revolutionary War in a battle between the Iroquois and Butler's Rangers.

Swope attended a community college for two years. He then enrolled in Susquehanna University majoring in English. He met his future wife, Linda while at university. After graduating he taught English for eight years at the same school he had attended in Turbotville. While teaching he was also attending Bucknell University where he graduated with a masters degree in education. It was during this period that he made his first forays into writing with articles in history and antique publications.

"I always had an acute interest in history so the writing I liked to do was always associated with history. People would ask me why I taughtEnglish instead of history since I loved history so much. I would tell them I didn't want to mix business with pleasure, he said.

In 1979, Swope and his wife moved to Spotsylvania, Va. where he taught school for one year.

"I chose that area of Virginia because there were four major Civil War battles there and I wanted to immerse myself in the history of that period," he said.

It was at this time that he wrote his first book, 'Indian Artifacts of the East and South', a subject he was also passionate about. He went on to write five full length historical books and several short booklets.

In 1990 the couple purchased a home in New Hope. Swope continued his writing and became more involved in antiquing.

One of Swope's full


length books is 'Tall Dogs and Hellcats.' In World War II, Group 2 navy pilots were called Tall Dogs and the planes they flew were Hellcats.

"There's an interesting story about the origins of this particular book," he said.

In the 1990s, Swope purchased a storage locker at auction. The contents included a treasure trove of more than 300 photographs taken during World War II. Swope discovered other papers in the locker which led him to navy veteran, Ted Riddell, who had died in 1978. He began extensively researching Riddle by finding family members and attending veteran reunions.

"It turned out that Ted Riddell had flown with Group 2 in World War II as a navy photographer. The photos I had uncovered were taken by him as the official photographer onnaval flying missions throughout the war. My passion for history really kicked in at this point. The photographs are amazing and the facts I uncovered along the way about the Group 2, Tall Dog pilots convinced me that I just had to tell their story," he said.

1. Another fact Swope discovered in his research was that Ted Riddell had been circulation manager at the News Leader after World War II. The book was published in 2001.

Swope and his wife have six booths at the Factory Antique Mall in Verona where he sells a wide range of items. The couple makes regular trips far and wide to search out interesting antiques. They have been at the mall for 12 years.

Swope is currently at work on a book about the


Revolutionary War.

In fact, Hunter Biden is an old Ukrainian hand. Prior to his appointment to Burisma’s board, Biden fils was a director of the U.S. State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy subsidiary National Democratic Institute, where he built up opposition parties first for the 2004 U.S.-engineered “Orange Revolution” and, later, the 2014 U.S.-engineered “Euromaidan” protests.

In the course of those ten years, Hunter Biden would have gotten to know steel and pipeline billionaire Victor Pinchuk, an enthusiastic supporter and financier of the Maidan protests earlier this year, who is also former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma’s son-in-law and is well-known for sponsoring an annual gabfest for international political and financial elite at a Tsarist-era palace on the Black

On episode 18, we’ll delve into the first of a two-part series with the venerable North American alpinist, Jack Tackle. With his unmistakable baritone and classic unassuming style, Jack is the epitome of a true Alaskan “hardman”. His gutsy first ascents up climbs like the Isis Face on Denali, the Diamond Arete on Mount Hunter, and the Elevator Shaft on Mount Johnson, have cemented his place in the storied history of Alaskan alpinism.

Recently, I got to sit down with Jack at his Castle Valley yurt, to talk about his forty-year career as an alpinist, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. We discussed everything from his early forays in the woods, to his most intense experiences in the mountains and in life. It was an enlightening and


Humidifier disinfectant disaster: what is known and what needs to be clarified.
After the initial investigations by the Korea Centers for Disease Control in 2011, over 1000 suspicious cases of humidifier disinfectant (HD) victims were subsequently reported by 2015, and numbers are still increasing dramatically in 2016 in the midst of the prosecutors' office investigation. This study attempts to summarize the current understandings of the related health effects of HD based upon a systemic review of published epidemiologic studies and toxicology investigations. Published studies of HDs were searched through PubMed and TOXLINE under the search words 'humidifier disinfectant,' and related reports were identified from the references and published report list of regulatory agencies including the Korean National Institute of Environmental Research, US Environmental Protection Agency, and EU European ChemicalsDespite the focus on female representation and gender imbalance in the film industry, the problem persists.

At last week’s Oscars, 73 per cent of the winners were male while the nominees for Best Director at the Oscars, BAFTAs and Globes were all male. None of the films in the Best Film category at these ceremonies were directed by women.

Following the success of last year’s Female Film Force, Bumble has just launched the initiative, which aims to address the gender imbalance in the film industry, for a second year.

Aspiring female filmmaking teams across Ireland, the UK, France and Germany can now apply for one of five grants of £20,000 (€22,000) to make a short film.

Among last year’s finalists were

Emma's script was initially chosen from 1100 other projects to make the final ten and the panel of judges including broadcaster Edith Bowman and actresses Ophelia Lovibond and Georgina Campbell felt the film deserved to make it to the final five.

The trio from Dublin filmed PAT in Dingle last year and the final film was showcased last month alongside the four other finalists at an industry event. Now it has been submitted to festivals across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.

The women had one short film under their belt when they won the funding and Emma believes that the initiative has been invaluable in developing their careers.

Above is Champion, Toni Merkens, with his 'trademark' downward curved handlebar stem and curly Hetchins. Merkens was a popular racer in the 1930s, with many victories to his credit, including Herne Hill (UK), a "Counties Trophy" in the popular five-mile Point-to-Point, and gold in the 1935 World's Championship Track amateur 200m sprint in Belgium. See Bike Cult com for listings of track champions since 1893.

Toni Merkens on the left, easily identified by the handlebar stem. On the right is Sellinger (USA). Foto: Olympics, 1936. Hetchins subsequently offered a Toni Merkens model; only one is known to have survived.

In 1939 Hetchins supplied bikes for a team composed of Burgess, Hey,


Firth, and Rangeley, of the Bronte Wheelers Club, to take part in the Bath Road 100 race, sponsored by the Bath Road Club. They were victorious. Rangeley's medal survives. The sales records list the frames as "on loan" to the team. The foto below shows the team wearing the black Alpaca jackets typical of the time.

In 1952 Hetchins sponsored a team of riders in the Tour of Britain consisting of,
from the left below: Tony Smith, Dave Robinson, Hyman Hetchin (in cap), Tony Phillips, J. Saunders (hands on shoulders), and Sid Aldridge of the Romford R.C. William (Bill) Bellamy was also a member of the team but is not pictured; he crashed and did not finish the race.
The bike is Tony Phillips' Experto Crede.

Dave 'Minta' Robinson (pictured below) wasa star performer. He rode the ToB 1951-2-3-4-8-9.
This 9th o/a was his best performance. The man in the rear (above) is Stan Saunders who
was probably team manager. He won the Brighton - Glasgow race (fore-runner of the ToB) in
1949 riding for the Dayton team. Below: Dave Robinson in flight (the bike is an Experto Crede).

Below: Tony Phillips in flight.

Bill Bellamy (team no. 58), pictured farther below, retired on Stage 11. He was the best rider in the Romford team, having already won the 8th edition of the Brighton - Glasgow that same year, and, as in the ToB, he was an amateur riding against top trade teams. In the '52 ToB, he had worn the leader's jersey 1st o/a in Stg.6 and held it for 2 days until


losing it to the eventual tour winner, Ken Russell, on Stg.8. Bill's placings: 5th-Stg.1, 8th-Stg.5. Retired after crashing on Stg.11 (with 3 stages remaining).

There are reports on his performance as follows: 11th Stage Newcastle to Scarborough. This was a very fast stage won at an average speed of 27.4mph for the 88 mile long stage. Ken Russell won the stage from Ian Steel; they had a four minute lead on the next finishers. Five minutes after that the main bunch consisting of 27 riders finished. A minute after these riders, Bill Bellamy finished surrounded by his Romford-Hetchins team. Bill had careened off the road when taking a tight turn at a foot of a gulley. He was thrown over a barbed wire fence and ended up some twentyyards from the road in a field. He was plucky enough to remount and try and get back to the chasing bunch with the aid of his team mates, who had all stopped when he crashed badly. This must have been a strong and valiant ride to keep the loss down to one minute behind the chasing bunch. This effort was all in vain as the next day was a rest day and they took him to hospital for a precautionary examination. He was found to have a cracked vertebra. Hyman and his teammates sent a telegram to his parents informing them that their lad's bid for a double stage win that year had failed and he had had to retire from the Tour quite badly injured. In


a tribute to his fallen rival, race leader Ken Russell said, 'For sheer riding ability, Bellamy was unbeatable. He had the uncanny knack of travelling at 30s, yet only appeared to be doing 20.' (Or was it due his Hetchins?? - writer's query)

Paul Hetchin added the following: "My Dad told me a few times about a fellow called Bill Bellamy riding a Hetchins in the "Tour Of Britain" and crashing and getting badly injured while leading the race with just a couple of days to go." Below: Bill Bellamy with Hyman Hetchin in front of the Seven Sisters Road shop, 1952 (the frame is a Mag. Bonum).

Tony Smith's son reports that Tony, who passed away in 2008, remained an avid cyclist to the end of his days, thougha bit wobbly towards the last.

This '52 Tour was particularly famous for two reasons. 1st.: The winner, Ken Russell, was a lone rider without team support, and 2nd.: both the French and Italian national teams withdrew on the 5th day because of their inability to obtain adequate food for racing due to British food rationing which was still in force.

One, possibly two, of the ToB bikes have survived. They are easily identified by the peculiar serial numbers: HET1, HET2, and so on to HET5.

Alan Johnson, ex Polytechnic CC, sends the following: "My brother Brian and myself were members of the Polytechnic club in the 1960s although we lived in Northamptonshire and our local track was Wicksteeds at Kettering until Leicester velodrome was built in 1967. We met Dick Swann at the Leicester grass track racing at the Saffron Lane site in the early 60s as he was living in Leicester to write a book about Victorian era champions (such as Bert Harris) and he encouraged us to join the London club. We


both won club championships against the likes of Gowland and Robinson, Alsop etc., also North London division championships and medals in the national tandem sprint at Nottingham and Leicester. We were very soon astride Hetchins bikes and my brother Brian (who lives in Sydney) still has the one that Dick Swann senior is seen riding in the photo above. The frame I had as a schoolboy was number H 5028 and I won the National Championship on it, now in the possesion of Dave Marsh cycles South Yorkshire. The frame I had built by Hetchins in 1968 was an Experto Crede with lots of extra special features, but I sold it before coming to Aussie in 1980. I also had a Hetchins tandem, a pre-war job, which ScottyAlsop (Ian's father) gave to me and I won bronze and silver medals in the national championships at Leicester in 1968 and 1970 - the frame was damaged in around 1977 and repaired by Mike Mullet of Reading; it is currently with Dave Marsh. I also remember Ian Alsop's disappearance in 1968, which Peter Robinson and I often talk about when we meet up and talk of old times. Peter was in the London Poly and now also lives here in Perth Australia as I do." Fotos below courtesy of Brian and Alan Johnson.

There is a story that Brian Johnson was once chucked into the boating lake at Wicksteed Park in
Kettering as retribution for causing a crash in one of the track events. Alan's version of the story


follows: "As regards the boating lake at Wicksteeds, that is the stuff of legend -- and was not true in fact. It was the Wicksteed Trophy race in 1962 and 6 or 7 riders crashed on the last lap. I remember it well as I was only 11 years old and can still see the crash clearly to this day. Brian actually punctured on the last lap and crashed onto the grass; the rider next to him panicked and swung to his right and cleaned up the whole bunch. Many were in hospital and at the next meeting the Kettering riders refused to ride against Brian. As regards throwing Brian in the lake, they would have liked to but us Johnsons came out in force and the spectatorsand family and friends that came out of the background from Corby were amazing. Brian was riding a 'Macleans Featherweight' frame on the day of the crash and as it was ruined in the crash Dick Swann gave Brian his own Hetchins which he rode from then on. The Kettering evening Telegraph made a big deal of it, as anything about Corby (only 8 miles away) was always viewed with a bit of distain in their eyes. To top it all, Brian had left the Kettering Friendly cycling club and had recently joined the Polytechnic cycling club. Roger Piggins won the Wicksteed Trophy race as I think he was the only one who stayed on his bike [after the crash]. Note for Jim Hendry archives regarding Wicksteeds track

The Tandem they were using belonged to Raleigh where Dave Marsh worked and was indeed the same tandem used by Reg Harris and Alan Bannister in the 1948 London Olympics.
The lower photo is [from the] semi-final against Ian Allsop and Geoff Cooke; ... I was only 17 years old and Ken Downing 18.
If you recall Ian Allsop went to the Olympics in Mexico shortly after this race and rode in the team pursuit with a young Ian Hallam, Harry Jackson, and Ron Keeble. Ian Allsop never returned from Mexico City and I believe is there to this day. Such is the stuff of legends.

Below:three lads on fixies. Alan Johnson fills in the picture for us: It was taken in 1962 August or September, Brian [Johnson] and Lyn Morris (one of the other riders, on the left in the photo below) from Corby Northamptonshire rode to Cardiff and back across the Brecon Beacons on fixed wheels to Lyn's home town, Cardiff. I believe the picture was taken in Cardiff. While they were there, Lyn raced on the old track in Cardiff (Maindy Stadium) and they both met Don Skeen, the top Welsh Champion. I believe they stayed in youth hostels along the route. Great days to be cycling on the open road. --Alan & Brian Johnson

So much of the game feels simply like one is going through the motions rather than getting engrossed in the gameplay. Its lack of complexity, poor pacing, and tedious map design leads to a game that is solid overall, but undeniably tepid throughout.

As well as the main game, there's a little extra longevity in the "Lantern Run" mode. Up to four players have use the grabbing upgrade to race through a level as quickly as possible, while being chased by tentacles. It's a decent little co-op mode, but nothing worth keeping players invested for too long.

With the disappearance of Trailer Park and Vanguard, Copenhagen has been missing a localised music festival that caters to more than just electronic music. On the face of it, this year’s Haven Festival is here to fill that void. Located in the post-industrial landscape of Refshaleøen on the outer edges of Copenhagen harbour, the festival is spread over a field (or Meadow, as they would have it) and former docks. The fetishised grittiness of the crumbling warehouses is juxtaposed by the view across the water, of the cruise ships at Langelinie, the Little Mermaid, and the custard-coloured Royal Yacht moored nearby.

The food and drink has been as much a part of the conversation in anticipation of the festival as


and guest appearances. The band’s musical core, brothers Aaron and Bryce Dessner, are the cofounders of the festival alongside Claus Meyer and Mikkel Borg Bergsø, so naturally theirs is meant to be the crowning set of the festival. Joined on stage by Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, This is the Kit and Kwami Liv on “I Need My Girl”, the National manage to sum up the day with the blessed absence of rain.

Known simply as the mukhabarat, the GID targeted dissidents inside Egypt and abroad, led for over half of Mubarak’s tenure by military intelligence veteran Omar Suleiman (1993-2011). Suleiman became the eminence grise of extraordinary renditions and was credited with defeating Egypt’s Islamic militants in the 1990s. His successor, still in place today, is another Mubarak military appointee, Murad Muwafi, previously governor of the destitute North Sinai.

The public visage of Egypt’s coercive Leviathan is the three hundred thousand conscripts of Egypt’s Central Security Forces (CSF). In the 2000s the black garbed CSF corralled demonstrations with their plexiglass shields and primitive cudgels. Meanwhile, the muscle work of dispersing rallies often went to Al Adly’s plain clothed thugs (the infamous “bultagiya”).

Analysts and participants trace the


latest opposition cohort to the pre-“Kefaya” protests of the second Palestinian intifada (in 2000). Hence this massive security infrastructure carried Mubarak through a decade of bold opposition, blunting major protests to the Iraq War (March 2003), the Lebanon War (summer 2006), and Operation Cast Lead (winter 2008-2009) while undermining new organizations like Ayman Nour’s Ghad Party. In late January 2011, though, Mubarak’s repression machine ground to a halt.

Rearguard

During the revolution Mubarak’s previously unbeatable security forces faced their greatest battle against domestic dissent and lost spectacularly. Crucially, the CSF proved a paper tiger, more effective at deterring protest than suppressing it. Young and old Egyptians braved water cannons and tear gas canisters to reach Tahrir (Liberation) Square. As marchers pressed on, they forced the conscripts and their armored vehiclesbrought Mubarak down would be seriously—and perhaps permanently—disadvantaged versus candidates from the Society of Muslim Brothers and the ex-ruling National Democratic Party, who benefit from extensive networks and name recognition in their constituencies. Because the next parliament is set to choose delegates to a constitutional assembly, new political forces could find themselves locked out indefinitely.

For a period, the electoral marginalism of Egypt’s new opposition stoked vigorous debates about the correct sequencing of elections and constitution writing and the best system for electing MPs. Thanks to the vast literature on electoral engineering and constitutions in new democracies, this stuff is ambrosia to political scientists. The discipline has much to offer in those areas.

Ironically though, as elections approach, oppositionists have redirected their activities toward the security state still dominating Egyptian

I have just seen from the start of this Cleveland Plain Dealer article that the basic terms for debating the federal sentencing outcome in the remarkable Amish beard-cutting criminal case are apparently already set at stark extremes. Here is how the article discussing yesterday's convictions describes the case and its forthcoming sentencing prospects:

Amish bishop Samuel Mullet was convicted Thursday of federal hate crimes and conspiracy for exhorting followers to forcibly shear the hair and beards of those who opposed his breakaway Ohio sect. Mullet’s three sons, his daughter, and 11 other family members and followers from his ultra-strict Amish order 100 miles southeast of Cleveland also were convicted of conspiracy and hate crimes after a trial that attracted international attention.

The 66-year-old bishop could face life inMiller, 37, said he would appeal for leniency in view of her big family and lack of any prior criminal record. Having both parents in prison poses "an extreme family hardship," Pierce said before the prosecution filing. "They need to make arrangements in the event she is incarcerated."

Lester Miller, Raymond Miller and Linda Schrock were the three whose continued freedom on bond was opposed by prosecutors.

Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla, whose office has investigated Mullet's community for years, said Friday he had received calls from relatives outside the community offering to care for the children if their parents go to prison. "It's Amish wanting to take these kids in. It's their relatives, it's their uncles, it's their aunts," he said. "That's the Amish, that's their culture. They are


loving people, good people, God-fearing people."

When the 16 rejected lenient plea deals July 30, with some possibly getting probation, Polster quizzed the defendants about their understanding of the consequences of a conviction. He asked the defendants if they understood possible sentences for a conviction, asked their ages and number of children and whether they knew that, in some cases, they could be locked up to age 50 or 60. Most are under 40 years old.

All acknowledged an understanding, but one defense attorney said he wasn't sure they were really aware of the consequences. "It's something beyond their imagination," said Joseph Dubyak. His client, Linda Schrock, has 10 children with her husband, who was also convicted, and their 20- and 21-year-olds have been looking after the younger children duringhotel owner to appear at his Hotel. Upon investigation, we found that it was situated out in the wilds, in a tiny village, so tiny the village was the hotel, a phone box, and three cottages! The hotel had a concert hall attached which could hold about 500. We decided it would be great publicity, and sure enough, we had a full page article in one of the National Dailys. The time of the gig came, and although the owner assured us we would have a crowd, we were skeptical. We needn’t have worried.

In her final confrontation with the rogue scientist Dr. Chen, Spartan Linda-058 and her AI companion find themselves in a race against time to end the threat posed by the disenfranchised doctor and evacuate the endangered civilian settlement before Covenant forces overwhelm them all.THE AFL has officially invited former Essendon coach James Hird to present this year's Norm Smith Medal to continue a run of former winners who take the stage.

It is understood the League is yet to hear from the Bombers' great, who won the medal in 2000 but has slipped out of the public eye in the fallout of the club's disastrous supplements saga.

But Hird told News Corp he would love to present the medal.

"If they (have asked me), I would love to do it," Hird told News Corp from Europe.

"It would just be good to be out there on Grand Final day. It’s obviously the best day in the footy calendar, so it would be a nice experience."

An AFL spokesman confirmed the League's invitation.

"Since 2004, the AFL has


been inviting previous medallists to present the medal, starting with Wayne Harmes, who had not had the opportunity to present the Norm Smith Medal. Working through them in year order, James is the next eligible medallist," he said.

In recent years Adelaide Crows star Andrew McLeod, who won the medal in 1997-98, presented the medal to Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli in 2015.

Last year, 1999 winner Shannon Grant handed it to Western Bulldogs runner Jason Johannisen.

The AFL has not yet been notified if Hird will take up the opportunity.

Hird had a brutal falling out with the League in the aftermath of Essendon's supplements saga being uncovered, and was hit with a 12-month ban from coaching in 2013.

He returned to the Bombers' hot seat in 2015, but did not last the fullseason before stepping down. The 44-year-old was admitted to hospital earlier this year in a serious health episode and has kept a low profile outside of the footy world.

Hird is considered Essendon's greatest living player, having featured in two premierships, won the 1996 Brownlow Medal and played 253 games for the club.


Enlarge By Seth Perlman, AP Gun owners rally at the Illinois State Capitol for legislation that would let them carry concealed weapons. In response to the Obama administration and the recession, more people have sought the permits. PACKING HEAT PACKING HEAT Gun owners are packing heat in record numbers, fearful of stricter gun control under the Obama administration and higher crime in a sour economy. Some states and counties report a surge in applications for concealed weapons permits since the November election. All states but Illinois and Wisconsin allow concealed weapons, but requirements differ. Applications already have hit a record this year in Clay County, Mo., where the sheriff's office received 888 through June, compared with 863 in all of last year, says Sheriff Bob Boydston. The officerecently hired two part-time workers to deal with the rush. In the past, applicants tended to be middle-aged men, he says, but recent applicants include "grandmothers, older folks, young women, young men." They tell him the bad economy will lead to more thefts and break-ins, he says, but his statistics show violent crime related to the recession hasn't gone up. They also say they fear gun control, he says. Last week, Boydston spoke with an elderly couple seeking a permit. "They are positive the president is on the verge of coming to our homes and taking our weapons," he says. Statewide, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has processed 18,878 background checks so far this year for the permits, the most since the agency began keeping statistics in 2005,


Lt. John Hotz says. It processed 18,466 checks during all of last year. In May, Obama signed a law that will allow guns in national parks. "The president respects and supports the Second Amendment and the tradition of gun ownership in this country," White House spokesman Ben LaBolt says. Interest groups on both sides agree that demand for permits is up because of economic uncertainty and concerns about a new president and a Democrat-controlled Congress. "People pay attention to politics. … They're afraid of another effort" to try to enact more gun control, says Andrew Arulanandam, spokesman for the National Rifle Association. "Part of the concern is spurred by the economic downturn and fear that crime will go up." Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to PreventGun Violence, fears that violent confrontations will increase as more people carry concealed guns. "When someone's carrying a gun around and they're not fully trained, oftentimes they'll use it just because it's there," he says. Demand is also up in: •Florida. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services hired 61 temporary workers in spring to tackle a backlog in applications, says spokesman Terence McElroy. The department received 75,520 applications through June, on pace to beat last year's record of 90,331. •Caldwell County, N.C. Residents filed 358 applications for permits in the first half of this year, compared with 135 for the same period last year, "a bigger increase than we've ever seen in the past," says Sheriff's Detective B.J. Fore. "People are worried about desperate times." •Texas. The


Department of Public Safety has seen "an unprecedented increase" in applications since November, spokeswoman Lisa Block says. •Utah. June ranked as the top month ever for applications, with 11,292 received, says Lt. Doug Anderson of the state Bureau of Criminal Identification. This year also is record-setting, he says, with 49,499 applications in through June. Craig Ball, manager of Impact Guns in Ogden, Utah, has offered more training courses to meet demand. "Last year, a typical class would be 15 to 20 people," he says. "Right after the election, we had as many as 55 people."

App State took the early lead thanks to a barrage of three pointers from sophomore Tab Hamilton, who knocked down all six of his in the first half.The Mountaineers limited Montreat to just 37.0 percent (10-for-27) from the floor through the first 20 minutes while converting 42.1 percent (16-of-38) of their own shots in the first half, including 7-of-15 from long range.In the second half, Appalachian saw its lead cut to 21 points (48-27) in the opening minutes, but found its footing again and eventually pushed the lead to 40 points (82-42) with less than four

Senior Nathan Healy made 5-of-6 shots from the field to round out three Mountaineers in double-figures with 12 points."Coach talked about execution before the game," Eaves said. "To leave everything on the floor, and to be relentless for 40 minutes." Sophomore transfer Jay Canty led all players with 12 rebounds and freshman point guard Chris Burgess dished out a game-high six assists to help pace Appalachian State's fourth-straight season-opening victory."No bones about it, I think Jay Canty is going to be one of the best players in the Southern Conference," Capel said. "He can do so many things.On an off night, he has 12 rebounds, he has deflections, he has a couple of steals, he's a multi-faceted player, he's an athletic player. We haven't had a player like him that can be a menace on the defensive endk, and score on the offensive end above the rim."He's shaking off the rust, and his confidence is growing every day. I'm pleased to have him."As a team, Appalachian shot 43.7 percent (31-for-71) from the floor and converted 15-of-19 free throws while holding Montreat to just 38.2 percent (21-for-55) shooting on the night.

David Cameron has received Denmark's backing for his EU renegotiation after Poland said plans to limit benefits for migrants need "further discussion".

Danish PM Lars Lokke Rasmussen said plans for a brake on benefit payments were "understandable and acceptable" and he would be as "supportive as possible" to keep the UK in the EU.

Mr Cameron is trying to garner support for an EU-wide deal in two weeks' time.

He insisted any agreement would be "legally binding and irreversible".

However, European Parliament president Martin Schulz has said he could not guarantee MEPs would "adopt" the welfare proposals without amendment and said they would be subject to months of debate, potentially delaying their implementation.

Mr Cameron, who has spent the day in Poland and Denmark, has said he is making progress towards


his goal of rewriting the terms of the UK's membership of the EU.

He needs the backing of all 28 EU leaders for his draft renegotiation package and hopes to secure it at a summit on 18 and 19 February, thus paving the way for a UK referendum in June.

'Better Europe'

Following talks in Copenhagen, Mr Rasmussen said Denmark - a country historically sceptical about the EU and which also retains its own currency - did not object to any of the UK's proposals and did not expect them to be significantly amended in the coming weeks.

He said the EU needed to retain a "strong British voice". "I truly believe that adopting this package will create a better Europe," he said.

On the issue of welfare curbs, which is proving aacceptable to us."

Poland and other members of the so-called Visegrad group - the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - have expressed about the welfare restrictions, warning that it breaks freedom of movement rules and discriminates against their citizens.

Analysis by the BBC's Ben Wright, in Copenhagen

Poland could have been a difficult country for David Cameron to win over.

With a million Poles working in the UK the prospect of new welfare curbs on EU workers has been particularly contentious in Warsaw.

Politicians there have consistently warned against any measure that would cause discrimination.

But now, on the table, is a proposal Poland seems set to support.

After meeting David Cameron this morning, the leader of the governing Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said he was "satisfied" with the plans to reduce in-work


benefits for four years and stressed the measure wouldn't affect Poles already living in Britain.

Mr Kaczynski is a power-broker in Polish politics and said his country had gained "very much" from the negotiations, including the right of Polish workers in the UK to continue sending child benefit back home, albeit at a reduced rate.

Speaking after a meeting with the Danish prime minister in Copenhagen, a buoyant David Cameron sounded optimistic about sewing up a deal.

After talks with Mr Cameron, Polish PM Beata Szydlo said she backed the UK's plans to boost national sovereignty and raise competitiveness but said the welfare needed to be "ironed out" to ensure Poles in the UK were not disadvantaged.

"There are always topics that need to be ironed out," she told reporters. "Over amillion Poles live and work in Britain. Their work is growing Britain's GDP and we want them to enjoy the same kind of opportunities for development as Britons."

Mr Cameron said the talks were "very good" but acknowledged there was "important detail to be filled in".

He stressed he was working towards a "full strategic partnership" between the two countries on a range of issues, including that of security, amid Polish concerns about the growth of Russian influence on its eastern flank and what Nato's response will be.

Countries on the EU's eastern flank are to meet next week before providing a joint response to the reform package, Hungary's foreign minister said.

The draft proposals


were published by European Council president Donald Tusk on Tuesday after months of negotiations between UK and EU officials and pave the way for Britain's EU referendum to take place as early as June.

An EU source close to the negotiations told the BBC the proposals had met initial resistance from many countries and Mr Cameron faced two weeks of "difficult" negotiations before the summit in Brussels.

standing to pursue his claims against DLA Piper, we reverse and render.
      Linegar is an Australian financier and investor.      In 2004, he formed a
company called Key Ovation. He later divided the company into two companies:
Key Ovation, LLC and IdentiPHI, LLC. Both companies were based in Austin,
Texas. In 2008, IdentiPHI merged with Saflink Corporation, a Seattle company.
In the merger, Saflink was represented by DLA Piper, and IdentiPHI was
represented by Akin & Almanza. IdentiPHI, Inc. became the name ofthe merged
company, and Linegar owned thirty-five percent of the new company. In the
process of completing the merger, it became apparent that IdentiPHI needed capital
to stay in business until IdentiPHI could secure the necessary funding for the
company to grow. Linegar proposed a “bridge loan” from his superannuation fund

that served as the trustee for Linegar’s retirement fund, was the lender for the

This suit was brought by the plaintiffs, members in good standing of the Local, for themselves and other members who are or may be similarly situated for the return of such funds and property to the Local. Defendants comprise a part of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. After trial the court granted the relief prayed for and defendants filed a motion for new trial which was overruled. Defendants appeal from the judgment and order overruling the motion for new trial.
Although defendants allude in their


cognizance, we will weigh the evidence and we will not set aside the judgment unless it is against the clear weight of the evidence.
The Local's by-laws provide that its purposes are to improve and elevate the economic welfare of its members, to cultivate successful and friendly industrial relations with those who employ its members, and to assist in organization so that they (the members) may consummate contractual relations with their employers. The purposes of the Trust, on the other hand, were very broad and as defendants state the Trust purpose in their brief, it is:
"Obviously it is for the advancement of the welfare of laboring people and sufficient powers are given to the trustees to enable them to select the projects best adapted to that end."

The minutes of the general meeting of the Local which met on April 22, 1958, state that a motion carried whereby the Local's officers were empowered to take steps to preserve the property and assets of the Local "for the use and benefits of the membership" of the Local. The minutes of the meeting of the executive board of the Local, which met on July 15, 1958, state practically the same thing. Then at a special meeting of the executive board of the Local on July 30, 1958, the Trust agreement and indenture was signed on behalf of the Local by three officers and three trustees. The minutes of the general meeting of the Local which met on August 26, 1958, show that a motionwas passed that the Local "turn over, contribute, give, and donate" to the Trust the property involved in this controversy. The motion also stated that the acts of the executive board of the Local were "approved, confirmed and adopted and made the official action" of the Local. The vote on the motion was recorded as: "34 for the motion, None (0) against motion. Motion in full Passed."
The evidence showed that the number of members of the Local fluctuated but that in August, 1958, there were over 700 members.
Plaintiffs' attorney called one of the defendants as a witness to prove the notice that was given to the members of the Local prior to the meeting of August 26, 1958. The witness was president of the Local at the time


the tribulations that has driven Reece to find various means to render himself insensate. It was one such occasion which forced him to book passage for his masters and himself on a vessel not asking many questions about its passenger's reason for travel or recent history. Unfortunately for Reece the captain and crew of the good ship Suncurl haven't been completely forthcoming when it comes to their own provenance, meaning they're all in for some unpleasant surprises during the course of the voyage.

While not much can ruffle Bauchelain's equanimity, after all his travelling companion in an effort to compensate for the loss of his manhood (Broach is a eunuch) has constructed a child out of living organs that he's removed from other humans, even he is a littleput out to find that not only has a lich manifested on board, but a god is after the little ship as well. While the lich, a being composed of a multitude of souls that manifests as the bodies of said souls mashed together, is trouble enough when it starts grabbing crew members in an effort to bulk up, the god and the reason it's chasing the ship could be more than even the combined talents of Bauchelain and Broach together can handle.Welcome to author Steven Erikson's third book devoted to the adventures of three characters who played a small role in his epic series The Malzan Book Of The Fallen.

So unless you're prepared to become an unwilling live organ donor, you'd best avoid dark allies when Korbal is in town.

Needless to say both gentlemen are also exceptionally handy to have on your side in a fight, so the crew of the Suncurl are quite prepared to overlook any and all of the duo's nastier habits when the screaming starts and crew members start vanishing in the hold of the ship. However even they can't prevent the lich from wrecking havoc and when the god shows up, from securing his prize. Yet in theread about either, the motley assortment of crew are as strange and original as any of the odd characters Erikson has created to populate the fringes of his world in the past. The Captain and her three companions turn out to be something other than just your standard sea faring folk, being ex-members of a city guard who stole from the city they were supposed to be guarding and took to the sea in an effort to put their former employers behind them. Unfortunately aside from just stealing coin of the realm, the also lifted some statues from the treasury, which is what has attracted the attention of the god who is in hot pursuit of the ship.

in the world of The Malazan Book Of The Fallen series, you'll appreciate this stand alone story featuring Bauchelain and Korbal Broach for the different view of the world it offers. However, even if you've not read anything else by Erikson, you'll find a lot to enjoy in this odd little tale. Originally published in England by PS Publishing, Nightshade Books has now made The Lees Of Laughter's End available to North American readers and it can be purchased either directly from their web-site or any discerning online retailer.

It examines this collection as a communitarian project that articulates a new erotic rhetoric in response to HIV and considers its individual epistemological and epidemiological implications.


Gerald Bull, definitely thought so, shopping the idea of an ultra-long-range artillery weapon around the world after the project ended due to steadily improving rocket boosters and a loss of interest on the part of both the American and Canadian governments.

Infamously, Bull finally pitched an improved concept to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the 1980s. The Babylon Gun’s design was supposed to offer a range of more than 450 miles, which would have put targets within Iran and Israel in strike distance. The final weapon never came to fruition though. Assassins, alternately linked to Israel’s Mossad or Iran’s VEVAK, killed Bull in the Belgian capital Brussels in 1990. British customs also seized components for the weapon before they could reachrather that than more specific strategic effects. The World War I-era Paris Gun could traverse 360 degrees, but was still effectively immobile, as were the guns the Germans and the British used to shell each other across the English Channel during World War II. The Strategic Strike Artillery Cannon might not need to move though. A fixed and properly hardened position could be able to hold a wide area at risk, which could deny an enemy freedom of movement through a large area.

A former employee of McArthur Recruitment, who provide Ticketek with staff to operate the stadium's box offices, told the ABC a supervisor issued an instruction to tell Aboriginal patrons the game was sold out when it was not.

The directive occurred during last


year's NAIDOC Week match on July 12, 2018, between Adelaide and Geelong and was in place for "at least" an hour, the former employee said.

She said she had to lie to two Aboriginal patrons who tried to buy tickets from her.

Adelaide Oval's Stadium Management Authority (SMA) has acknowledged the situation occurred, but blamed a misunderstanding.

However, the revelations — which come only days after West Coast Eagles premiership player Liam Ryan was racially abused by online trolls — have caused deep distress.

"This really upsets me," tweeted former Test cricketer and current Adelaide Strikers coach Jason Gillespie.

Gillespie's late father Neil was a former CEO of the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (ALRM), and the organisation's current state CEO Cheryl Axelby said such discrimination was sadly still common.

"An Indigenous round excluding Aboriginalagain," he said.

"If any staff member has issues or thinks that there's a strange or unlawful communication coming through that should have been raised to a supervisor … it could have been clarified."

He also said there had been no complaints from fans, adding that he was not aware of fans being turned away during the time the instruction was in place.

"To my knowledge, only those people who were identified by SAPOL and security … were denied purchasing tickets or denied access to the venue," he said.

However, that was contradicted by the whistleblower, who said she witnessed four Indigenous people turned away from the game, in addition to the two to whom she


Chekhov's gun is a literary technique in which a seemingly insignificant element is introduced early in a story and later becomes crucial to the plot. It is named for famed Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov, who felt strongly that any object introduced in a story must be used, or it should not be featured in the first place. The technique has remained popular and is widely used in modern literature, film, and television. What popular fantasy novels frequently feature this plot device?More...

In 1836, a garrison of Texans took a stand against the Mexican Army at a Franciscan mission in San Antonio, named after the grove of cottonwood trees (alamo in Spanish) that surrounded it. Led by William Barret Travis, the band of volunteers was beseiged for 13 days by Mexican soldiers. Travis refused to surrender, and the Alamo was overrun on the morning of March 6. Only women and children survived. The heroic action at the Alamo gave the Texans time to organize the forces necessary to save their independence movement. More...

But in the basement workshop of Kirk Withrow's Birmingham home, the stakes are much lower.

The ear, nose and throat doctor has what he calls a slightly "obsessive" passion for making things out of other things, chief among them, guitars from cigar boxes.

A patient with a sinus infection introduced him to the instrument during his residency at the University of Alabama Birmingham about 11 years ago and gave him his cigar box guitar. He's been hooked ever since.

"There's a certain element of liberation to it. You're not bound by the rules of what you can get at the store," said the 33-year-old married father of two. "You have the ability to change


guitars from colorful, wooden boxes from local tobacconists and liquor stores.

"Surgery isn't as hard as it looks. It's all the thinking and preparing for surgery that takes work," said Withrow, a cheerful Southerner with the muscular build of a rock climber -- another hobby. "That's what I like about my job and making cigar box guitars. It's all problem-solving and innovating."

His obsession makes him part of a small, eclectic group of musicians, crafters and weekend warriors, whose enthusiasm recalls a culture imbued by poverty, when homemade instruments were made out of necessity.

The earliest known proof of a cigar box instrument comes from an etching of two Civil War Soldiers at a campsite, one playing a cigar box fiddle displaying the brand "Figaro," according to CigarBoxGuitars.com. Copyrighted in 1876,the etching was created by artist Edwin Forbes, who worked for the Union Army.

The inside of the cigar box guitar reveals its craftsmanship.

Cigar box guitars and fiddles, along with other homemade instruments, such as jugs and washboards, figured heavily in the rise of American jug bands and blues in the early 20th century, since most performers could not afford manufactured instruments. The Great Depression continued the trend when manufactured instruments were beyond the means of most, but cigar boxes, broom handles and a few wires from the screen door were available to mostly everyone.

The modern revival is a likely tangent of the DIY culture, especially among fans of Delta blues and Appalachian music, which evoke a tinny sound that comes through on acoustic cigar box guitars. Online communities


such as Cigar Box Nation host discussions among enthusiasts, whose passion extends to other homemade instruments such as ukeleles, diddley bows, mandolins, even violins.

As with most obsessions, Withrow's takes up the basement level of his home, which is a workshop and shrine to the hobby. An area near the garage door contains the electric bowsaw he uses to shape the wooden necks and a workshop inside the garage contains the typical wall of assorted tools in various shapes and sizes. He claims to keep most of his guitars in rifle cases that fill the shelves because their shape makes them too awkward for guitar cases. Even the bathroom contains a draftsman's table for drying wood and linoleum print cuttings, another hobby of his.

1 Number Suggests We May Be Living Through a Second Tech Bubble

The valuations of private tech firms are quickly getting out of hand.

There are at least 73 venture-backed companies worth $1 billion or more, according to The Wall Street Journal. That is up significantly from prior years -- even at the height of the dot-com bubble, there were less than half as many billion-dollar start-ups.

Although these companies are currently private, many will eventually go public. At the same time, excessive private-market valuations affect publicly traded firms in several important ways and could be early evidence of a


second tech bubble.

Sky-high valuationsFar from speculative business models, many of these firms have attracted tens of millions of users and shaken up enormous industries: Xiaomi, despite being founded just five years ago, is already one of the largest handset vendors in the world. Uber has disrupted the transportation industry, seemingly forever. Pinterest and Snapchat have hundreds of millions of devoted users. Airbnb has encroached on the hotel industry enough to draw the ire of government regulators.

But even if these firms have transformative business models, they may not be sound enough to justify their lofty valuations. Xiaomi, for example, is worth about one-quarter of Samsung, despite its low profitability and unproven international success. Uber is worth about four times Hertz, and about two-thirds of General Motors. Pinterest is seekingArtifacts Inc. (EN)

The external surface of the heel supports one or more radial plates—or tabs—adapted to form, with the facing stator wall, a labyrinth seal, ensuring gas-tightness; to this end, said stator wall is generally formed by a ring made of abradable material, on which the plates rub. The plates comprise an upstream face and a downstream face which extend transversely to the flow of gas.

In the never-ending quest for ever more horsepower by some automakers, it's refreshing to see inventive, ecologically-friendly ideas for new propulsion systems. One firm in particular, though, might have taken the low-horsepower hybrid car to the extreme. A Dubai group is proposing that their one-horsepower vehicle supplemented by electric motors is the greenest transportation system available. Oh, wait. Not one horsepower. One horse-powered vehicle.

Called Naturcar, the concept hybrid conceptualized by Fleethorse is, as the name suggests, powered by a horse. Not pulled by a horse like Conestogas of the wild west, but powered by a horse. For now the concept is nothing but computer-generated video and renderings, but here's how it seems to work.

Passengers sit in the front of the van-sized, mostly glass


vehicle, while the horse stands in back on a conveyor belt. Instead of whips and calls of "YAW!" that once were used to motivate horses. The Naturcar, however, uses electricity. No, not to shock, but to power motors on the belt that gets the horse moving. If the horse stops walking, the belt nudges it back into action. The same belt moves the animal's "exhaust" out of the horse's compartment into a holding area beneath the car.

Fleethorse has already thought of the animal cruelty charges it might incur, and has a list of all the precautions Naturcar would employ to ensure the horse's comfort and safety. Unlike its working ancestors, Naturcar's horse would be air conditioned, continually fed and watered and monitored with temperature gauges. The electric motorsJANESVILLE—It might seem futile, but some members of the Janesville City Council want the state to re-evaluate the effect of a pipeline that could have double its flow of petroleum if Enbridge moves forward with its plans.

On Monday, the council will roll out a resolution pushing the state Department of Natural Resources to conduct a full environmental impact statement on Enbridge’s plans to increase the flow of tar sands oil through a pipeline that runs beneath the Rock River north of Janesville and skirts the east edge of Rock County.

The resolution, which was brought by councilman Jim Farrell and is supported by councilman Sam Liebert as a recommendation by the city’s sustainability committee, also asks the DNR to hold hearings in Rock County on Enbridge’s plans, something the


agency has not done.

The resolution also asks Enbridge to publicly disclose what chemicals it might pump through the pipeline, as well as urge the company to identify immediate or long-term effects in the case of a rupture or spill.

The section of pipeline in question runs from Superior to northern Illinois. It crosses the Rock River between Fort Atkinson and Lake Koshkonong and cuts through western Walworth County and eastern Rock County.

Enbridge has had 800 pipeline-related incidents, the most serious of which was a 2010 spill in Marshall, Michigan, that dumped more than 800,000 gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River. The spill was one of the largest, most expensive onshore cleanups in U.S. history.

The DNR has responded to other such local resolutions, which have been stacking up inJefferson, Walworth and Rock counties this fall.

The DNR’s answer, mainly, is that the agency already had assessed the pipeline in question and held public hearings when the pipeline was first built in 2006-07.

In an Oct 24, 2014, letter to Walworth County Clerk Kimberly Bushey, David Siebert, director of the DNR’s Bureau of Environmental Analysis and Sustainability agency, made it clear a public comment period on Enbridge’s plan already expired earlier in 2014, and that the DNR already issued air, erosion and wetland permits for the plan in April, May and June of 2014.

Siebert’s letter also states the DNR does not have authority to regulate the volume of material transported through pipelines, and that “capacity expansion, construction, inspection and maintenance of all liquid petroleum pipelines” falls to the U.S.

As a ranking government official, State Sen. James "Pate" Philip owes not only his constituents but the people of this state a moral and ethical duty to refrain from spreading unsubstantiated and inflammatory statements which serve only to tear at the social fabric of our society.

Buddha himself and his monks ate meat.

So what is the Buddhist view on vegetarianism?

The answer to this really comes in which form of Buddhism you are referencing. In Theravada Buddhism for instance, the practice of vegetarianism is typically separate from Buddhism, with a handful temples that do encourage it.

In fact, one of the most famous stories about the Buddha's life was when one of his monks, Devadatta, suggested that monks restrain from eating meat, a rule the Buddha rejected as unnecessary.

Theravada Buddhism isn't alone in this belief; many schools of Vajrayana Buddhism also allow the eating of meat even by monastics. The Dalai Lama himself ate meat; however he did eventually turn toward advocating vegetarianism later in life.
