Back legs are moved in a treading motion and the front legs make reaching or pawing movements that touch the kitten standing over it at the head, neck and ventral region (front or anterior of the cat). Mouth is open. Teeth are exposed.

Stand-up (SU)

This kitten stands “near or over another kitten”. The head is near the head and neck of the other kitten. This kitten may direct play bites at the kitten doing BU. The SU kitten may paw at the BU kitten. The SU and BU kittens alternate in their roles while playing.

Vertical stance (VO)

This is classic position we see in some of the funny cat videos, where the cat sits up in the meerkat position but also raises its forelegs to perpendicular to its body (straightPounces never occurred at the end of play and only 7% of the time during a play sequence.

As to the number of patterns joined together in sequence when playing this depends on the age of the kitten:

at 6 weeks of age, the average number of patterns joined in sequence was 4.8

at 12 weeks of a age, the number of patterns joined in sequence was 8.1

The initiator of social play in the domestic cat (usually with a pounce) dictated to certain extent how the other kitten responded – usually with a belly-up or vertical stance if the initiation was with a pounce. The typical response to a belly-up was the stand-up (62% of the time for 6 week old kittens). Face-off was”seen in combination with belly-up or stand-up 47%

The amount if time spent on “quiet alert” also depended on the kitten’s age:

average of 14 mins for 8 to 16 week old kittens

average of 32 mins for 20 week old kittens

It was noted that the mother of the feral kittens left them alone fend for themselves at 4 months of age. Prior to leaving her kittens they accompanied her when she went to find food. Most often the mother found food alone, however.

The author of Social Play in the Domestic Cat, Meredith West concludes:

The ordering of the motor patterns (the chosen sequence in which the individual actions are strung together) “may serve different roles”.

Pounces seem to be used to instigate play and increase physical contact and thereby decreaseregards to the cheetah, play incorporates a “new slap”, which is used to knock over siblings. This progresses to an adult slap that knocks over prey.

Social play in the domestic cat is also a useful form of exercise in a confined space.

Social play in the domestic cat declines at 4 months of age as the “litter unit becomes independent from the mother”. Kittens begin to travel from the living area. Social contact declines. Sexual behavior interferes with the play too.

build up and dampness in the house brought about by the tenant's failure to ventilate the premises."

The landlord provided the tribunal with no independent evidence of the cause of the damage.

The tenants however got DVS, the home ventilation specialists in, and it concluded the dampness came from the ground under the house, the adjudicator heard.

DVS' evidence swung the case for the tenants.

NO EXCUSES

Sometimes landlords simply do not understand their legal duties, and justify renting out a substandard property on pure economics.

JOHN HAWKINS/STUFF Both tenants and landlords have obligations to fight damp in rental homes.

In another February case, this time from Greymouth, the adjudicator found: "There is no doubt that the premises were dilapidated. The weatherboards are rotten and split in places. The outside cladding includes sheets of corrugatediron that are rusted. There are places where natural light can be seen from inside the premises due to gaps in the cladding and the absence of internal lining."

There was a rear deck supported by decayed bearers, broken windows, no window flashings and vegetation growing into the building.

"Many (in) New Zealand live in houses which are in a similar condition," the adjudicator commented.

But, because the home was a rental property, the landlord, had obligations for it to be let in a reasonable condition under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, and the Housing Improvement Regulations 1947.

The referee said the landlord explained to the tribunal that "the economics of buying the house to let means that she has a limited amount of money to spend of maintaining and improving the


house."

And, the adjudicator found: "On the other side is (the tenant) who said that she was grateful to have the house to live in. Affordable housing is scarce and if she was not able to rent this house, the likelihood was that she would be homeless."

"This exemplifies a wider social problem," he said.

The tenant and her child had been there since 2015, but in 2017 a social worker saw the state of the house, setting in train a claim for compensation.

"The premises would have been cold and damp, particularly in the winter months and difficult to heat. It is likely that their health suffered as a result of that," the adjudicator said.

The state of the house gave the tenant the legal right to end the tenancy. The tribunalthroughout the house – in the windows and doors, the shower box, and the walls. The toilet leaked and the floor behind it was rotten. There was mould throughout the house."

"The oven handle came off and the landlord replaced it with one screw. Unsurprisingly it very soon came off again. The oven door would not close unless a chair was propped up against it. The oven was so close to the wall that when the front right hand element was used it would singe the wall."

The rent the landlord had been getting was $520 a week.

PAY TO PLAY: Second in a three-part Spectator series about the OHL and the financial factors involved for players and hopefuls.

Dry-land training, power skating, conditioning sessions — kids as young as five are being enrolled in programs costing as much as $15,000 a year just to give them a shot at the Ontario Hockey League. What does this mean for the kids who can't afford it? A year-long investigation by The Spectator's Teri Pecoskie reveals they are being left out in the cold.

A family from sun-drenched, sand-coated country moves halfway around the globe and falls in love with a game played on ice. A pitch for a CBC sitcom?

No, it's life for the Mohameds.

Fatma, Saber and their eldest child, Mohamed Mohamed, immigrated to Hamilton from Egypt seven yearsago so that Saber, a mechanical engineer, could study at McMaster University. Since then, the family has doubled in size with the addition of Fatma, Heba and baby Jannah — the only one of the bunch who has yet to try Canada's national winter sport.

"It's amazing," says Saber. "I never expected they could do it, because we're not coming from a country that is cold where everybody plays hockey.

"I never expected they could do it, but they could."

Online extra On weekend mornings before dawn, Fatma Mohamed and her children travel 10 kilometres by foot and bus to take part in the Hamilton Minor Hockey Council's initiation program at the Mohawk 4 Ice Centre — the only rink in the city at which it's offered. This is their trip.

The


couple hopes that one day one of their kids will be able to play for Team Canada. And, while they don't want to put any pressure on him, "Mohamed is fast," says his father, "very fast."

Fatma and Saber are so convinced of his potential that, even without a vehicle, they're willing to make an hour-long trek to a rink across the city in order to get him and his siblings to games.

The sad truth, however, is no matter how fast or how skilled or how hardworking their eight-year-old son is, he will probably never play competitive hockey, let alone wear the Maple Leaf. The odds of Mohamed even making it to the Ontario Hockey League — the top tier for junior-aged talent in this province — are astronomicallysays Gruneau, a professor in Simon Fraser University's school of communications, urbanization has gutted the mill town and mine towns that, for generations, were both hotbeds for the sport and a "major source of professional hockey players."

A "perfect storm" of socioeconomic conjunctures and changes has "created a situation where hockey has just simply become out of reach," he adds.

A growing movement toward privatization and sport specialization has also contributed to the ballooning costs of the game — and you don't have to look far for proof. Talk to the parents of any competitive hockey player and you'll see most of them share a common and increasingly justified fear: without year-round hockey, or at least some supplemental training, their child will fall behind.

Brandon Saigeon, seen at left above, is


a perfect case.

Years before the 18-year-old forward slipped into a Hamilton Bulldogs jersey, he was working on his strength with an off-ice trainer. He started power skating lessons at nine, and quit other sports altogether at 13.

His commitments only intensified when he cracked the OHL in 2014. Now, the Grimsby native's off-season schedule is a seven-day-a-week blur of weights, stretching, hill runs, yoga, power skating and skill development. He also plays four-on-four in a local league every summer.

According to Saigeon's chiropractor dad Brent, who was a national team tennis player, these activities, as well as a strict focus on hockey alone, are non-negotiable.

"You have to," he says.

His wife, Charlotta, a teacher and former Swedish Olympian, nods.

"In the olden days, Gretzky and them, they took the summer off," shesays — but now, you can't get away with that. "If you don't work hard in the summer, the coach will know in a second."

Online extra During the offseason, several local OHL players work out with Adam Lloyd at ALP Training Institute in Stoney Creek. We paid them a visit to ask: What's the bare minimum a player can do and still make it to the OHL today?

This mentality isn't exclusive to OHL families. One rep league in Halton advertises 52 hours of on-ice practices and training, including skating treadmill sessions, dry-land conditioning and power skating, as a perk for its novice players — those are seven- and eight-year-olds. Meanwhile, a flyer spotted in a Burlington rink promotes advanced power skating clinics for kids as young as five.

The


private sector movement started with hockey camps and has expanded to include a long list of year-round extras, says Peter Donnelly, a University of Toronto professor who studies sport and inequality. The whole thing is a growing industry — the so-called sports-industrial complex — and it's minimizing opportunities for low- and middle-income families, especially at elite levels of the game.

"The private sector has moved in as austerity policies have hit municipalities and provinces and whole countries," he explains. "Money has been cut to public recreation and facilities have become more expensive to rent.

"Almost every recreation program in every city in Canada now has user fees attached, with just some small grants to low-income families. And that puts ice out of reach for most kids."

Here's the irony. A growingbody of evidence suggests this intensive and specialized focus on hockey could actually damage a player's potential in the long run.

Before he took over as president and general manager of the Bulldogs, Hamilton native and former NHLer Steve Staios oversaw development for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He says there's no doubt — players today are progressing at a faster rate than previous generations because they're on the ice more and training at a younger age.

"As a society," he adds, "we're becoming much more sport-specific earlier, which I think can be a mistake sometimes."

Staios says in his experience working with Leafs prospects, the more well-rounded players continued to develop into their 20s, while those who played only hockey from a young age had much more trouble. They get injured,


8 (the old city), and the Jr. Bulldogs, which draw players from Wards 9 through 15 (the suburbs). Despite having a larger pool of the city's population to pull from, the Huskies have had relatively few players — 16 — drafted to the OHL over the past decade. The Jr. Bulldogs had 56.

The explanation is simple, says Huskies general manager Mike Spadafora. The kids who play for the Jr. Bulldogs come from more affluent neighbourhoods and families — backgrounds that afford them better access.

"You're power skating sooner and more often, you're buying better instruction for your son, so I think that's a major part." he adds. "The major part to me is the money. It's always been the money. I've always told people you can't compare the two.It's unfair."

When it comes to hockey opportunities, cost is only one roadblock. A parent's field of work, marital status, education and even social connections can affect their child's ability to access the game.

The same goes for geography.

According to a city report, the Hamilton Minor Hockey Council lost 766 players between 2006 and 2012 — around 16 per cent of its overall registration. The greatest losses were in the lower city.

The numbers have since levelled out, says council co-chair Gerry Potter. Sort of. Registration is continuing to grow in outlying areas, such as Glanbrook and Dunnville, and continuing to drop north of the escarpment. As a consequence, three minor hockey associations have shut down over the last several years — Scott Park, Parkdale and Eastwood.

It was "very unfortunate," says

An alarm screams in the Mohameds' one-bedroom apartment on Jackson Street West.

It's 5 a.m. Saturday, the start of their weekly pilgrimage.

Over the next two hours, Fatma and her four children — one-year-old Jannah, three-year-old Heba, six-year-old Fatma and eight-year-old Mohamed — will dress, eat and travel more than 10 kilometres by foot and bus to the Mohawk 4 Ice Centre on Mountain Brow Boulevard.

It's not a nice trip — not in the winter, not with a stroller, and certainly not when you're lugging a bag stuffed with hockey gear. On the bus, people sneer and complain about the equipment, says Fatma. The ride isn't the worst of it, though. It's the walk.

The closest stop is nearly a kilometre fromwhich elite hockey players come.

Ramo, Yoreh Deiah 246:21

And all of this applies to one who is healthy and can engage in his
  work or in a profession a little and provide for his livelihood.
  However, an elder or a sick person is permitted to derive benefit from
  his Torah such that they will provide for him. And some say that it is
  permitted even for a healthy person.  And therefore the practice in
  all Jewish communities has been that the Rav of the city has an income
  and provisions from the other people of the city, so that he will not
  have to engage in work in front of other people, so that the Torah
  becomes degraded in


and to become wise in it and to provide for himself by
  himself....

Anyone who wishes to dedicate themselves to serving Hashem and studying Torah becomes similar to a Levi.

Mishneh Torah, Zeraim, Shemita and Yovel 11:13

Not only the tribe of Levi, but each well-informed thinking person
  whose spirit moves him to devote himself to the service of the Lord,
  to know the Lord, and has walked uprightly after casting off his neck
  the yoke of many a cunning wile that men contrived, is indeed divinely
  consecrated, and the Lord will forever and ever be his portion. God
  will provide sufficiently for his needs, as he did for the priests and
  the Levites. David, may he rest in peace, declared: "The Lord ismy
  allotted portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot" (Psalm 16:5).

Times change, and while it may be idea for everyone to work and study as was the custom in the times of the Talmud and Rishonim, it has become the custom for each community to support some people studying.

Mishneh Torah, Torah Study 1:9

Some of the great scholars in Israel were hewers of wood, some of them
  drawers of water, and some of them blind: nevertheless they engaged
  themselves in the study of the Torah by day and by night. Moreover,
  they are included among those who translated the tradition as it was
  transmitted from mouth of man to mouth of man, even from the mouth of
  Moses our Master.

First issue, BNSF does not actually service the production facility in British Columbia. That initial rail service is provided by CN. BNSF does provide service from an interchange with CN in Canada, but CN also provides service directly to the Mid-Western United States where there is a potential interchange with UP at St. Paul, MN. Other non-BNSF interchange options include interline arrangements through CP. So, BNSF maintains that, with other options for the required service to customers in the Southeast United States, they should not be compelled to provide the requested service.

PM Modi at South Block during the first cabinet meeting of his new government on Friday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning to set up cabinet committees to tackle the two biggest challenges his government faces - slowing growth and rising unemployment. PM Modi will lead both groups, which will also include Home Minister Amit Shah.

A five-member "Cabinet Committee on Investment and Growth" is likely to brainstorm on steps to push growth momentum in the economy and increase investment in key economic sectors like infrastructure and agriculture. The second panel, a 10-member "Cabinet Committee on Employment and Skill Development", is likely to explore ways to create more jobs.

Last Friday, a day after PM Modi was sworn in for a second term following his election victory, the government announced thethird straight fall in quarterly growth to 5.8 per cent in the first three months of the year (FY 2018-19). The economy grew at its slowest pace in 17 quarters. The figure was down from 6.6 percent in the last quarter of 2018.

The figure meant India is no longer the world's fastest growing major economy; it is China, with 6.4 percent growth in the first quarter. India has fallen behind China's pace for the first time in nearly two years.

At the same time, the government's Ministry of Statistics put out figures that confirmed that unemployment was at a 45-year low.

The ministry said the unemployment rate was at 6.1 per cent in 2017-18, confirming the figure leaked to Business Standard newspaper in January, which said it was the worst


since 1972-73.

Chief Statistician Pravin Srivastava told NDTV that the comparison with past figures was "unfair" as it was "a new design, new metric".

Business Standard, which first reported the figure in January, had said that it was based on an assessment carried out by the National Sample Survey Office between July 2017 and June 2018.

As the leaked data fueled concern months before the election, the government said the statistics were not ready.

Unemployment and the economy had been pitched as major issues by the Congress during the campaign for the national election. However, the party faced a crushing defeat in the elections, winning just 52 seats in the 545-member Lok Sabha. The BJP's victory was attributed mainly to its nationalism pitch during the campaign, where the economy was barely referredhas been battling critics on several fronts. It was last year blocked from bidding for a multi-billion dollar national broadband network contract in Australia over cyber-security fears.

A U.S. congressional committee recommended Washington to similarly bar Huawei and its Chinese rival ZTE Corp from being allowed to sell equipment to U.S. carriers.

INSPECTING HUAWEI'S CODE

Huawei has denied inserting deliberate backdoors in its products to allow for spying, and has invited governments to inspect its code.

In Britain, it set up a center to test out whether its products can withstand security threats, and has offered to set up something similar in both the United States and Australia.

But it has so far been reluctant to engage security researchers and hackers who challenge the company, something that Suffolk said was now changing, in


part because of Lindner's allegations.

Suffolk, who was the British government's chief information officer before joining the Chinese company, said the team's trip to Germany had been slowed by visa issues, but would go ahead soon.

Lindner told Reuters after a presentation at a hacker conference in Kuala Lumpur earlier this month that, while he could not be sure there were no deliberate backdoors in the software, there was no evidence in the devices that he tested.

The problem, he said, was that the software was poorly written and left the equipment vulnerable to hackers.

Lindner's views fitted with a White House investigation that found no clear proof that Huawei was spying for the Chinese government, sources told Reuters earlier this month.

SYSTEMIC CHANGE

Suffolk said that Huawei had not sent anyone to attendresearchers to contact Huawei with vulnerabilities they have found. But his long-term goal, he said, was to change procedures to make all products more robust.

"I can fix the Felix issue in a few lines of code," he said. "But I'm interested in systemic change within Huawei."

Huawei's efforts to crack the lucrative U.S. market have been hurt by years of suspicion from U.S. lawmakers, who say the Shenzhen-based company, started by CEO Ren Zhengfei, a former Chinese military officer, has links with the Chinese government.

After an 11-month investigation, the U.S. House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee released a 52-page report urging U.S. firm to stop doing business with Huawei and its smaller rival ZTE due to potential influences from the Chinese government, which could pose security threats.

 -- Health care workers in the Dallas hospital that treated a patient who died from Ebola and then treated two nurses who contracted the disease never received training on how to treat Ebola patients and avoid spreading the disease, a top hospital official said at a Congressional hearing today.

Dr. Daniel Varga said that, even though guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were sent to the emergency department at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in late July, there was no follow-up training ordered for the staff. Less than two months later, the hospital staff sent a man with Ebola home with a fever even though he was likely contagious at


the time.

Varga is one of the panel of top American health officials who testified in Congress today at a hearing on the federal government's response to Ebola cases in the United States.

"People are scared," said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "People's lives are at stake, and the response so far has been unacceptable."

During the hearing CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said that one of the infected nurses did not violate any rules by boarding a commercial airliner the day before she was diagnosed with Ebola.

Frieden said that while nurse Amber Vinson, 29, was in contact with Thomas Duncan, a Liberian man who died of Ebola, she had worn personal protective equipment and she did not need to have her movement restricted.

Friedenit harder for authorities to track potentially infected individuals because they would find different ways into the country without proper screening.

He said there are "approximately" 100 to 150 travelers who arrive in America on a daily basis who started their journeys in the Ebola "hot zones."

"There will not be a large outbreak here barring a mutation," Frieden said.

"We're absolutely looking for other mutations or changes," he said.

Without placing blame on the Dallas hospital, National Institutes of Health allergy and infectious diseases director Anthony Fauci confirmed that both nurses who contracted the disease while treating Ebola patient Thomas Duncan have since been moved out of the Dallas hospital where they worked and were being treated. Vinson was moved to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta Wednesday and Nina Pham was

When Bielski was about 200 feet from the intersection, he saw Schulze's car with its left-turn signal on.

Teen fell off sidewalk and was hit by vehicle

A bicyclist hit by an SUV on Wednesday afternoon in Bethesda died from his injuries Thursday morning, authorities said.

Jacob Cassell, 17, of Bethesda, was riding south on the sidewalk of Old Georgetown Road when he fell off the sidewalk and into the road, county police said.

Cassell was hit by a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas also heading south on Old Georgetown Road. He was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and died Thursday morning.

The driver of the Volkswagen, 39-year-old Matthew Williams of Bethesda, was not injured in the crash. He remained at the scene.

Ruslan Miroshnichenko, a student at Siberian Federal University (SFU), told the outlet KrasNews.com that he has been unable to defend his thesis, which addresses the increasing government debts of Krasnoyarsk Krai, since 2017.

The thesis pointed to Accounts Chamber figures that showed the region’s government debts rose from 1.6 billion rubles in 2008 (then about $64 million) to 68.7 billion rubles in 2015 (then about $1.15 billion). When Miroshnichenko attempted to defend the thesis, university officials sent it to regional governor Viktor Tomenko and then expelled Miroshnichenko. After he complained to prosecutors and was reinstated, the student said, his advisor began criticizing his work despite initial positive feedback, and he received a failing grade.

University officials argued that the thesis was “unscientific,” saying it included citations of unreliable sources andQ:

Was "famous" once used like how "awesome" is used colloquially in modern times?

Naomi Novik's His Majesty's Dragon series of modern fiction book, set in the early 19th century, uses a somewhat archaic form of English to help communicate the setting. I must say that it works quite splendidly, and some of the odd (to a modern ear) usages of language are surprising in their elegance.
The word "famous", and its parallel "infamous", are used in a way that is not modern:

and at the last Battersea, unlike virtually all the others, was incautious in tearing the sheet, so that his piece was unusually large; he could be heard murmuring quietly to Carver, “Would it not be famous to ride a dragon?”

Here, the character is expressing excitement at the chance of


longed-for spiritual freedom. Finally, Gautama’s inner wisdom led him to take the middle path (madhya-marga) instead of damaging extremes. He abandoned his severe, self-destructive tapas and began to nourish his body properly. His fellow ascetics, who had always looked to him for inspiration, thought he had returned to a worldly life and shunned him. But later, after his spiritual awakening, their paths crossed again, and Gautama’s radiance was so impressive they could not help but bow to him in respect.

Genuine tapas makes us shine like the sun. Then we can be a source of warmth, comfort, and strength for others.

China has ordered Ai Weiwei to pay 15 million yuan ($2.2 million) in back taxes and fines allegedly due from the company he works for, the dissident artist said.

Supporters say the case is part of Beijing's efforts to muzzle government critics.

The 54-year-old artist, famous for his work on the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing, was detained without charge for 81 days this year in a move that drew criticism from Western governments.

Ai, who was released in late June, said he received the notice from the tax authorities that described his title as the "actual controller" for Beijing Fake Cultural Development Ltd, which has helped produce Ai's internationally renowned art and designs.

The company is owned by his wife, Lu Qing, who is the firm's legal representative.

"They made upis ridiculous."

Beijing authorities held a closed tax evasion hearing in July. The company's lawyer, Pu Zhiqiang, said it was illegal for them to do so.

Ai was barred from attending, but his wife, Lu, was present.

He tweeted on Tuesday that the authorities had threatened the company's accountant and manager and prevented them from meeting him.

Ai was detained at Beijing airport on April 3, prompting an outcry about China's tightening grip on dissent which has seen the detention of dozens of rights activists and dissidents.

The bearded, burly artist was the most internationally acclaimed of those detained, and his family has repeatedly said he was targeted for his outspoken criticism of censorship and Communist Party controls.

When Ai was released on bail in June, the government said he remained under investigation on


Russia's standard crew size has been three since Expedition 23 in 2010. The Izvestia article, citing a previous interview with Sergei Krikalev, said Russia may have originally intended to increase its crew size only after the arrival of its delay-stricken science section, the Multipurpose Laboratory Module.

The MLM is currently expected to arrive no earlier than late 2017, and has a long, complicated history dating back to an original launch date of 2007.

The proposal comes at a time of financial hardship for Roscosmos, which was recently given a ten-year budget of about $20.5 billion—barely more than NASA receives in a single year. Russian economic hardships, caused by falling oil prices and the country’s annexation of Crimea, forced officials to slash the space corporation’s budget by 60 percent, down froma once-proposed top line of $50.4 billion.

At the same time, SpaceX and Boeing are on the verge of transporting NASA astronauts to the ISS, which will end America’s reliance on the Soyuz spacecraft. That will end a lucrative seat-purchasing arrangement for the Russians.

Three-person Soyuz crews currently fly to the station about four times per year. The crew roster typically alternates between two cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut, or one cosmonaut, one NASA astronaut and a third astronaut from another international partner.

After SpaceX and Boeing are flying at full capacity, Roscosmos could, in theory, make just two Soyuz flights per year. Additionally, if international partners begin using American commercial crew vehicles, the third Soyuz seat could be used for cargo, tourists, or other potential international partners—including China.

Jan 03, Colombo: A Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) has no legal power or authority to find a judge guilty since the Standing Order under which the committee is appointed is not law, a Sri Lankan court hearing a petition filed by the Chief Justice Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake against the PSC that investigated the impeachment decided today

Sri Lanka's Court of Appeal reading the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution said a parliamentary select committee appointed in terms of Standing Order 78A derives its power and authority entirely from the Standing Order which is not law.

Based on the constitutional interpretation, action can only be taken against a judge based on a law passed by the Parliament and the PSC has no legal right to take action against the Chief Justice,the Appellate Court ruled.

The Court of Appeal stated that the power to make a valid finding after investigation can be conferred on a court tribunal or any other body only by law and law alone.

A three- judge bench led by Justice Sri Skandarajah took up the petition filed by the Chief Justice challenging the PSC today.

The Chief Justice in her petition had requested the Appellate Court to issue an interim injunction order barring the recommendations set forth by the PSC's report being enacted.

The petition cited 13 respondents including the Speaker, both government and opposition members of the 11-member PSC and the General Secretary of Parliament. Accordingly, the court issued notice on December 21 for the respondents to appear in the court today.

However, the 7 government members and two


United National Party (UNP) members of the PSC decided not to appear and they were not present at Court today.

Marxist party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) MP Vijitha Herath and the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP M. A. Sumanthiran on behalf of the TNA leader R. Sampanthan who represented TNA in the PSC, appeared in the court.

The petition filed by the country's top judge said that she was not given sufficient time to prepare for her defence and was not given an opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses.

The PSC found Dr. Bandaranayake guilty of the 1st, 4th and 5th charges in the impeachment motion while dismissing 2nd and 3rd charges for insufficient proof. All other charges in the motion have been disregarded.

For only the second time ever, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a high-risk warning more than 24 hours in advance. The last time it issued such a warning, in April 2006, nearly 100 twisters rampaged across the southeastern U.S.

The warning is for the heart of the Great Plains, covering parts of Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, but the worst weather is expected to start late Saturday afternoon between Oklahoma City and Salina, Kan. The center warned this could be a “high-end, life-threatening event,” saying the environment is extremely favorable for violent, long-track tornadoes.

His favorite vegetable was cabbage. He was the only president ever elected from Pennsylvania. He is James W. Buchanan Jr., 15th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1857, until March 4, 1861. James was born in a log cabin on April 23, 1791, in Cove Gap, Pennsylvania. He was one of six presidents born in a log cabin. It may seem James was destined to become President, as he is a direct descendent of King James I of Scotland and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt.

James was educated at what is now known as Dickinson


College. He graduated with honors after almost being expelled for poor behavior. In 1812, he was admitted to the bar. James was also a Freemason. In 1819, James almost married but his fiancée broke off the engagement and died a week later. James refused to publicly discuss the relationship. Since Buchanan never married, his niece, Harriet Lane Johnson served as the official White House hostess at social functions.

James initially opposed the War of 1812, believing it unnecessary, however he later joined a volunteer unit to help defend Baltimore, Maryland from British invasion. Throughout his service in the military, he never served as an officer, the only president with military experience not to do so.

James’ political career began in 1814, at the age of 23, when he was electedto the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as a member of the Federalist Party. In 1821, he went on to served for five terms in the US House of Representatives. In 1832, James was appointed by President Andrew Jackson as envoy to Russia, where James proved his abilities as a diplomat. Two years later, James returned to America and won a seat in the US Senate. He remained in that position for 10 years, before being appointed as secretary of state by President James Polk. In 1852, James made an unsuccessful bid for the presidentially nomination in the Democratic Party. He lost to Franklin Pierce, who later appointed him minister to England.

James was elected president in 1856, defeating Republican nominee John C. Fremont. In his inaugural address, James promised


law and through compromise. He failed to realize that neither side was willing to compromise with the other. During his time in office, James managed to alienate both sides of the issue by declaring that states did not have the right to secede, yet the government did not have the authority to stop them from doing so. When President Buchanan left office, the nation was on the brink of civil war.

Following the election of Abraham Lincoln, South Carolina seceded, the first state to do so, in December 20, 1860, with six more following by the time Buchanan left office in March of 1861.

While slavery was the primary issue addressed by James, he also faced other problems. Due to over consumption of goods from Europe and banks overextending credit,debt began to rise and people began to panic. James ended his presidency with a $17 million federal deficit, as he refused to curtail public works projects to save money.

In March of 1857, James received conflicting reports about Mormons causing problems in Utah for federal employees. The problems in Utah with the Mormons, was an inherited one for James, as it had begun with the Pierce administration refusing to grant Utah statehood. James acted swiftly upon the unconfirmed reports, replacing Mormon Governor Brigham Young with non-Mormon Alfred Cummings and sending the Army to assist Alfred. Unfortunately, Brigham never received notice of his replacement, as the Utah mail contract had been annulled by the former president. Brigham responded with a two-week expedition which destroyed wagons, oxen, and other Army


property. The war lasted approximately one year and ended with amnesty being granted to all, provided they respected the authority of the government.

James all but disappeared from public life after he left office. James was and still is judged harshly for his actions as president, especially for failing to stop the Civil War, which broke out less than two months after he left office. He is frequently rated as among the least, and as the least, effective Presidents of the United States. In October of 1862, James attempted to defend himself and his actions as President in the National Intelligencer newspaper. James Buchanan died from respiratory failure on June 1, 1868, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, shortly after becoming ill. He was 77 years of age.

Not much is known aboutJames’ religious views. In a conversation with a Rev. Dr. William M. Paxton, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of New York City, he stated that he had been reading the Bible and praying daily for the past 12 years and, upon further conversation, believed he was a Christian. He eventually joined the Presbyterian church after leaving office and made a generous donation to the church following his death.


Former Senate Staffer Wolfe Pleads Guilty to Lying to FBI in Leak Probe

The former security director for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence pleaded guilty on Oct. 15 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with reporters as part of the bureau’s investigation into unauthorized leaks.

James Wolfe, 57, pleaded guilty to making one false statement to agents, according to the Justice Department. He was indicted in June 2018 on three counts of making false statements. The other charges were dropped as part of the plea deal.

Wolfe was the director of security for the Senate intelligence committee for 28 years. In that role, he handled classified documents transported to and from the committee.

Wolfe made false statements to FBI agents who questioned him in December 2017 about his contactswith several reporters, including Ali Watkins, with whom he eventually admitted to having an extramarital affair since 2014. Watkins works for The New York Times.

Wolfe’s plea agreement shows that he was aware that he was not authorized to have contact with the media.

On April 11, 2017, an article authored by three reporters revealed that former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, who is referred to as MALE-1 in the plea deal, was under surveillance via a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant. FISA warrants are issued by a secret court and are considered top secret.

The FBI opened an investigation seeking to determine, in part, “whether Wolfe had been in contact with reporters, and, if so, who those reporters were, the nature and extent of those contacts, and the means

Most of the world knew Roger Zelazny for his fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels. Neil Gaiman has cited Zelazny as his greatest influence. In his 58 years Zelazny won three Nebula awards and six Hugo awards, and is best known for The Chronicles of Amber. His “A Rose for Ecclesiastes” was included in the DVD collection Visions of Mars: First Library on Mars, taken onto the Phoenix Mars lander in 2008. In 2008 an unpublished novel was located, a crime thriller by Zelazny called The Dead Man’s Brother, and Titan Books’ Hard Case Crime imprint published it for the first time ever in 2009. We’re reviewing it here as part of our excursion into lost novels and our “Retro Fix” series for fans who thoughtWiley is a former art smuggler and also a former CIA operative whose genetics (explained in the book) reflected a type of super soldier tendency. At present, the early 1970s, Wiley had cleaned up his act for the most part, still in the art world buying and selling artwork as a respectable art dealer. In the first scene we meet Wiley entering his gallery to find the dead body of his former partner in crime, a man he had neither seen nor thought about in several years. Wiley is then accused of his murder, but the CIA intercedes. It turns out they could use his unique skill set and familiarity with Rome specifically to earn a “get out of jail free” card by finding a missing priest alleged


to have stolen millions from the Vatican. Wiley begrudgingly agrees, and his investigation re-introduces him to the dead partner’s girlfriend and finds the embezzling priest dead. Before he gets accused of that murder, he takes the girlfriend in tow and heads to Sao Paulo, Brazil, to locate the dead man’s brother. He is imprisoned and tortured by locals for days, getting into a bizarre national conflict he has no interest in. Armed with a machete and thoughts of revenge, he ventures home with a package and secret information.

Fans of Zelazny’s writing are the real target for this novel. The tale is not particularly gripping, yet readers will stick with Zelazny to the end simply to see what completely insane circumstance his hero is going to get involved withnext. The Dead Man’s Brother often reads like an early draft–many stream-of-conscience paragraphs pepper the plot that conjure the image of a writer who sat “butt in chair” and wrote from beginning to end, intending to return with a few good edits later. Little is known why this novel was shelved, and it is only a guess that he wrote the book around 1970-1971. Was he merely experimenting with styles? Was he attempting to write his own version of an American James Bond or dabble with mainstream works? More than a few threads remain hanging by the end of The Dead Man’s Brother. Presumably he intended to return to finesse these once the novel was sold?

Some of the decisions of his hero seem preposterous and yet Zelazny seems

Sake Shortage on the Horizon?

California's drought could cause major problems for North America's second largest sake producer.

(KCRA) For 25 years, Gekkeikan Sake has been producing sake for North America, Canada, South America and much of Europe.

The company is the second largest sake producer in the USA.

Now the president of the Folsom, California plant worries that is if the drought continues and mandatory water restrictions are put in place, he will have to scale back production and possibly lay off workers.

"It's a huge a problem," said Yoshiyuki Saito, who has lead the Folsom plant since 2009. "We cannot make sake if we don't have enough rice and water."Liesel Reimer

Once upon a time an anthropologist, one of Margaret Meads many husbands,
noted that the natives on his little South Pacific Island prayed fervently over their yam
gardens after they had planted them. Very interesting, he thought. Poor superstitious
people. They think that prayer can actually improve the fruitfulness of their gardens. So
he chuckled to himself about their naivete and credulity. Then he remembered that he was a
scientist and that in principle he ought to attempt some kind of controlled experiment
before he dismissed the natives as ignorant savages. So he decided that he would plant his
own yam gardens in two spots that seemed exactly similar in style and sunlight. He also
resolved to tend each of the gardens with equal care. Then he


would pray over one and not
the other. Unfortunately he didnt know any prayers. But he did have a Hebrew bible
with him. He didnt understand Hebrew, but he could pronounce the words from
after-school class of his youth. So he read a couple of passages each day from the bible
over one of the gardens. He later admitted that he probably cultivated the garden over
which he did not pray with more care, because he really did not want the prayer to work.
But it did. He had no idea what to make of the outcome of his experiment and repeated it
several times. Each time prayer worked. What does one make of the story? Maybe that God is

United Airlines and Orbitz filed a civil lawsuit last month against 22-year-old Aktarer Zaman, who founded the website Skiplagged.com last year.

The site helps travelers find cheap flights by using a strategy called "hidden city" ticketing.

The idea is that you buy an airline ticket that has a layover at your actual destination. Say you want to fly from New York to San Francisco -- you actually book a flight from New York to Lake Tahoe with a layover in San Francisco and get off there, without bothering to take the last leg of the

WATCH: Driver error is being blamed for the death of a second horse at this year’s Calgary Stampede. The horse was injured during heat 2 of the Rangeland Derby on Monday night. Doug Vaessen reports.

CALGARY – A second horse has been euthanized as a result of injuries suffered during the chuckwagon competition at the Calgary Stampede.

The Stampede’s Chuckwagon Safety Commission says the latest horse was hurt in a collision between two rigs on Monday night.

Dennis Hastert, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, announced on Sunday that it had scrubbed his name from the school’s public policy center, after his indictment on charges that he lied to the F.B.I. about financial transactions he made to cover up past sexual misconduct.

Wheaton College, the Christian liberal arts school in Illinois where Mr. Hastert graduated in 1964 with a bachelor’s degree in economics, made the decision after his federal indictment on Thursday.

Prosecutors and investigators said Mr. Hastert, 73, made cash withdrawals from banks in a way that was designed to hide that he was paying $3.5 million to conceal the misconduct, according to the indictment. Officials familiar with the case said he was paying a former student to keep


A US military base that inspired hit drama Stranger Things is using secret mind control experiments to trigger deadly shootings by a worldwide army of brainwashed assassins, a filmmaker claims.

Chris Garetano, who grew up close to Camp Hero, claims he has uncovered eerie goings-on over decades including child abductions and even time travel.

The former Cold War radar station in Montauk, New York state, has been the subject of rumours and conspiracy theories since it shut in the 1980s.

Locals have heard talk of government scientists conducting experiments on snatched foster kids and making contact with aliens.

Crucially, it is claimed the base's Sage radar tower broadcast the frequency needed to affect humanconsciousness.

One former worker has also described operating the Montauk Chair - a mind-reading device - and said once the computer accidentally summoned up a monster from a subject's imagination, which then went on a rampage through the air base.

Preston Nichols also told The Sun there were time-travel portals that sucked people to a different place and time.

It was these stories that inspired the creators of the hit Netflix sci-fi series Stranger Things, which was originally titled Montauk.

Most of the base is now a state park filled with picnickers but some parts near the old military installations and concrete bunkers remain sealed and guarded.

Recession Finally Hits Video-Game Industry

U.S. video game sales slumped more than expected in March and were flat in the first quarter when compared with a year earlier — hurt by the recession, a shift in the Easter calendar and fewer big game launches.

March sales of hardware, software and accessories fell 17 percent to $1.43 billion when compared with the same month a year earlier, according to market researcher NPD Group. For the entire first quarter, sales were flat at $4.25 billion.

While analysts widely expected game sales to slow, the month's double-digit decline was larger than most estimates, which forecast software sales to come in flat to down slightly.

Americans bought fewer video games and fewer systems to play them on in March, a month that also saw overall retailNintendo's "Super Smash Bros. Brawl," which ended up becoming one of the year's best-selling games. There was no comparable game launch this past month.

Of the gaming platforms, NPD said only Microsoft's Xbox 360 experienced higher unit sales than in March 2008. Part of this is because sales of the Nintendo Wii were pushed higher last year by the launch of "Super Smash Bros."

Even so, the Wii remained the month's best-selling console with 601,000 units sold, followed by the handheld Nintendo DS at 563,000. The Xbox 360 came in at 330,000 units and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3, the most expensive console, at 218,000.

"If there was one area that surprised me this month, it was hardware sales," Frazier said. "While it's not unusual for March hardware sales to be lower


than February, I thought we'd see higher unit sales on most platforms."

Nintendo's Denise Kaigler, vice president of corporate affairs, said the recently launched DSi, the latest version of the popular handheld system, sold 435,000 units during its first week on sale. The bulk of this will come out in April's video game sales numbers.

Last month's most popular games spanned a wide range of genres. The best-selling title was Capcom's horror shooter "Resident Evil 5" for the Xbox 360, followed by "Pokeman Platinum" for the Nintendo DS. Microsoft's "Halo Wars" rounded out the top three.Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel was relieved of his command of the U.S. Pacific Fleet as part of a shake-up of officers in the wake of the Pearl Harbor disaster.

Admiral Kimmel had enjoyed a successful military career, beginning in 1915 as an aide to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served admirably on battleships in World War I, winning command of several in the interwar period. At the outbreak of World War II, Kimmel had already attained the rank of rear admiral and was commanding the cruiser forces at Pearl Harbor. In January 1941, he was promoted to commander of the Pacific Fleet, replacing James Richardson, who FDR relieved of duty after Richardson objected to basing the fleet at Pearl Harbor.

If Kimmel had a


weakness, it was that he was a creature of habit, of routine. He knew only what had been done before, and lacked imagination—and therefore insight—regarding the unprecedented. So, even as word was out that Japan was likely to make a first strike against the United States as the negotiations in Washington floundered, Kimmel took no extraordinary actions at Pearl Harbor. In fact, he believed that a sneak attack was more likely at Wake Island or Midway Island, and requested from Lieutenant General Walter Short, Commander of the Army at Pearl Harbor, extra antiaircraft artillery for support there (none could be spared).

Kimmel’s predictability was extremely easy to read by Japanese military observers and made his fleet highly vulnerable. As a result, Kimmel was held accountable, to a certain degree,The offical home of the President of the United States. Following the initial design of Washington, D.C. by Pierre L’Enfant, a contest was held to choose the design of the new "Presidental Palace." The winning design was done by James Hoban with construction beginning in October 1792. On November 1, 1800, President John Adams became the first occupant of the almost completed building. However, the White House's decor has never stayed constant. Each president changes it to suite their own personal tastes.

The White House, however, has not been immune to attacks. After the Battle of Bladensburg in the War of 1812 it was burned by the Canadians and then whitewashed to cover the burn marks which led people to call it the "White House." President Theodore Roosevelt made


the name offical in 1901. In previous years, it was also known as the "Executive Suite," and the "President's House." Many of the rooms in the White House are known by their color. The Blue Room is a reception room, the Red Room serves as a small, informal dining area, and the Green Room is kind of a whatever room, being used from a dining room to a poker room. The Yellow Room is a sitting room, and was redecorated by Nancy Reagan. There also other famous rooms in the White House. The Map Room gained infamy for President Bill Cinton's famous apology about the "scandal," although it serves a private meeting room nowadays (Name comes from FDR's use of it to chart the course of World WarII). There is also the China Room which you guessed it, house the White House China...most of the other rooms are pretty obviously named. Except for the East Room which is effectively a ballroom.

Many additions have been added to the White House since its initial construction and design obviously. In 1942 the current East Wing was added. The East Wing houses the President's theater, the visitor's entrance, and the East Colonnade. The location of the East Wing was that of a previous conservancy.

The West Wing is probably the most famous portion of the White House complex. It existed for many years as an seperate entity with the executive offices located in the residence itself. However, early on, President Thomas Jefferson was annoyed by this, and had terraces added


on, however, these became used for anything but office space. Finally, in 1902, Theodore Roosevelt ordered the offices moved to the West Wing. The West Wing houses the Press Room, the Cabinet Room, the Roosevelt Room, the executive offices, and of course, the Oval Office. A fire occurred in the Wing in 1937.

Ah, the Oval Office, a symbol of the President as much as the White House. Built in 1909 it has been moved slightly from the south side of the West Wing to now overlooking the Rose Garden. The Oval Office is decorated as the president wishes, except for the marble mantle, U.S. and Presidential flags behind the desk and the Presidential Seal in the ceiling (How do you remove that anyway?).

The White House also hosts thefelt our hurt, that we didn't deserve it, but that there was no point dwelling on it," Jamieson said. "He said we need to back it up at training on Tuesday with a strong session, then another strong week in the build-up for our next game. "Their main threat was pretty much only from direct, long balls. In the first half, they tried to feed the ball to Filip Holosko behind me and that, if I'm honest, was probably their main threat. We dealt with it superbly as a team." One of the highlights of the match for the Wanderers was the sight of Spanish defender Alberto, who, on his club debut, displayed calmness and composure at ground level and requisite physicality when required in the air. "He


easily fitted into our defence and that just shows what a quality player he is," Jamieson said. "He's a seasoned professional with a great pedigree, playing in Spain, but his transition into the defence was seamless and he didn't put a foot wrong all night." Jamieson denied that the Wanderers, despite dominating much of the match, tired towards the end, saying it was just a moment of luck that allowed Sydney FC's Milos Ninkovic to score the winner two minutes before the end.I was not aware of ...

One of the chief organizers of Monday’s counter-State of the Union in New York City is charging that President Trump needs to be overthrown before he ends the world. Really.

Hollywood's Michael Moore, speaking for the event and MoveOn.org, went off on Trump in an email to supporters.

“Donald J. Trump has proven himself to be completely unfit for office, a threat to our country, and an imminent danger to the world. He is not well; he is a malignant narcissist and an active sociopath. And because he holds the codes to fire nuclear weapons, he is a singular threat to humanity,” he wrote.

Bennington

By far the largest Vermont town south of Burlington, Bennington (pop. 15,737) is a bustling little manufacturing and commercial center. It was the site of a significant victory against the British-paid Hessians in 1777 during the American Revolution, a sweet morale-booster that contributed to the defeat of General “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne’s army of Redcoats at Saratoga. In the subsequent centuries, Bennington’s name became synonymous with art: the decorative arts of the antebellum United States Pottery Company; the liberal arts of Bennington College, one of the nation’s most expensive and exclusive private colleges; and the folk art of Mary Robertson “Grandma”Moses.

The largest public collection of Grandma Moses’s beguiling work is on display in the Bennington Museum (75 Main St., daily in summer, closed Wed. in winter and the month of Jan., $10 adults), whose ivy-covered edifice is found up the hill on Route 9 in the graceful old part of town. Along with 30 Grandma Moses paintings and the rural schoolhouse she attended two centuries ago, the museum also has a wide variety of historical artifacts, examples of early Bennington pottery, and the sole survivor of the fabulous motor cars once made here in Bennington: a 1925 Wasp.

Matt Garza isn’t someone the Texas Rangers simply acquired on a whim because he was considered the best available pitcher in this summer’s trade market.

The trade that was finally struck Monday marks only the Rangers’ latest attempt at the right-hander. They tried before the 2011 season when he was with Tampa Bay and again last July before he was injured while pitching for Chicago.

The third time was the charm.

Garza likely will make his Rangers debut Wednesday as their starting pitcher after he was acquired from the Cubs for three prospects and one or two players to be named later.

He was scratched from his start Monday at Arizona, a dead giveaway that a deal had been reached for a pitcher whom

African lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) is listed as noxious in class 4 in all LCAs of the Southern Tablelands and South East Region.

Description

African lovegrass is a perennial tussock grass to 1m with variable tussock shape, leaf colour and leaf width. On the south coast there are at least two forms, one open in shape with spreading branches held relatively low to the ground and blue-green leaves, and one very robust tussock with a more erect habit and wider green leaves. The form most common on the Monaro is much shorter and often has curly leaf tips and blue-green leaves. The most distinctive feature common to all forms is the black or dark grey colour of the young seed heads. These start with the branches folded close to the mainsimilar grasses to the robust tussock form of African lovegrass are river or silver tussock (Poa labillardierei), the broader leaved Poa ensiformis and snowgrass or poa tussock (Poa sieberiana) which all differ in having the young seed heads purple tinged.

Parramatta grass (Sporobolus africanus) looks a little similar to the open, low-growing form. It has similar blue-green, hairless glossy leaves and a very similar spreading growth habit, and the seed heads are black or grey in colour. However, they are a narrow spike, without spreading branches.

The native grass hairy panic (Panicum effusum) may look a little similar to the short Monaro form of African lovegrass, but it has widely branching seed heads with very sparse florets and broad, soft green leaves with sparse long hairs along the margins. Its

He said the three players met him and requested to ask the PCB not to consider them for the rest of the series. He said ICC is trying to make Pak to bear the blame because it is not able to run cricket efficiently. The ICC had no authority to punish the players without conducting an inquiry.

Till the investigations are over, neither PCB not ICC can take any action against the players. Hasan's reaction came after ICC had charged Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer of corruption offences. Hasan said this Majeed allegedly framed these IndianA Lesson In Opinions On Education

Superintendent Finalist Looks At School Day, Underachievers

June 07, 1990|By MARK DI VINCENZO Staff Writer

JAMES CITY (COUNTY) — Lexington superintendent Elizabeth D. Morie, one of three finalists for the vacant superintendent post here, said Wednesday that as superintendent she would consider restructuring how students and teachers spend their school day. Morie, who once taught at Bruton Heights School and Jamestown Academy and was assistant principal at Bruton Heights and Rawls Byrd and Norge elementary schools, also said underachieving students should spend more time in the classroom, including summer school, and she vowed that she would not cut academic programs in response to a money shortage if she was superintendent.

She spoke at a forum to give local residents a chance to hear her views on


education and is the third of three finalists to do so. The other two are former Dickinson, N.D., superintendent Ross H. Julson and Shakopee, Minn., superintendent Gayden D. Carruth.

The job was vacated Feb. 15, when John E. Allen resigned after criticism of his management style by Williamsburg-James City County School Board members became public. Later that day, Assistant Superintendent Elwood T. Lewis, who has since received local support to be the superintendent, was named acting superintendent.

Morie provided only sketchy details about how she might restructure the school day for students and teachers. In an interview afterward, she referred to a teaching strategy called "parallel block schedule," then declined to describe it, saying it's too complicated for non-educators to understand.

She also would not say if, as superintendent, she wouldrequire more underachieving children to attend summer school.

However, when asked whether she would cut programs such as music and art during times when money is tight, she was definitive.

"I go back to the premise that you don't cut programs, not with a $30-million budget," she said. "I'm good at nickel-and-diming."

Morie taught and was an assistant principal here from 1963 to 1973 and lived in the area until 1981. Her past here has been an advantage for her now as well as a disadvantage. While she personally and professionally knows many of the people in this school division whom Julson and Carruth did not know, her affiliation with Jamestown Academy has been questioned. The private school, which closed last year, was opened in 1964, according to some in the


black community, as a way to circumvent desegregation for white families at the time.

Morie said Wednesday she doesn't know what the school's board members were thinking back then but added that segregation was never part of the school's philosophy. At the time the school was opened, she said, the public school division was overcrowded, and "parents wanted more participation" in the education of their children.

The School Board will meet privately at 2 p.m. Friday to discuss the finalists' qualifications and, according to state law, has until June 15 to hire someone.from a respective reservoir to the printhead dies.
