Carter in 1974? Bill Clinton in 1990? Barack Obama in 2006? Or Donald Trump in 2014? The big difference was they were governors and senators (and a billionaire). This, however, is an era of broken molds.

In 2006, Hillary Clinton was in such a commanding position over Barack Obama and John Edwards that our Sen. Evan Bayh folded his campaign just as it was getting started. In 2014, Jeb Bush had 23 percent in an early CNN poll, some 10 percent ahead of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, with Ben Carson, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee in the next tier. Trump was a joke.

The Veterinary Services of the Republic of Korea and Japan are reviewed and summarised. To cope with ever-increasing demands on Veterinary Services, both countries have made continued efforts to expand the services, which currently only have a limited number of government personnel. To overcome some of the problems associated with international trade, e.g. outbreaks of foot and mouth disease and classical swine fever (hog cholera), the authorities of the Republic of Korea are considering strengthening quarantine services by combining the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service and the National Plant Quarantine Service of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF). In the field of veterinary public health services, the Republic


of Korea and Japan have different organisational structures. All Veterinary Services, including veterinary public health, are kept within the MAF in the Republic of Korea, whereas in Japan, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) deals with general animal production and health services and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) deals with the safety of animal products, food poisoning and the prevention/control of zoonoses, such as rabies and Q fever. In Japan, after the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in 2001, the authorities undertook a thorough review of the Veterinary Services, focusing particularly on food safety. A reorganisation of the administrative structure was proposed, and will be completed by the end of 2003.

A fire fully engulfed a two-storey Fyshwick building in flames in the early hours of Monday morning, the ACT Emergency Services Agency says. ACT Fire & Rescue responded to a Triple Zero call about 3.15am, and sent four four fire trucks, the Bronto aerial platform, breathing apparatus support van, a HAZMAT unit and commander to the Tennant Street address. They found the two-storey building, the Box complex at 65 Tennant Street, "fully engulfed in fire". It took them about two hours to contain the fire a single tenancy, in the commercial building where the fire started."Firefighters continue working to extinguish the blaze from the ground and above," they said about 5.20am.

The dollar’s international role has evolved since World War II. During the early postwar period, under a 1944 agreement negotiated by the U.S. and its allies at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, other currencies were pegged to the dollar while the dollar was (loosely) pegged to gold (see here for a discussion of how the Bretton Woods framework related to other international monetary systems). The goal was to replace the gold standard, which had collapsed during the Depression, with something more flexible. In practice, however, the system afforded the greatest flexibility to the United States, which enjoyed substantial freedom to pursue its domestic policy objectives as well as the ability to run sustained balance-of-payments deficits.

Sporting Kansas City announced Wednesday that the club has signed defender Ike Opara to a new contract through 2017 with team options for 2018 and 2019.

Opara, 27, has recorded seven goals and three assists in 64 appearances across all competitions since joining Sporting Kansas City ahead of the 2013 campaign.

"We are very happy to be able to re-sign Ike to our club," Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes said. "We think he is a first-class individual and he has so much upside as a central defender. He showed a lot of consistency this past year and we hope that continues for years to come."

"Kansas City has been my home for the past four years and I'm excited to return for another season," Opara said. "I'm extremely thankful for allof the support the fans have showed me, and I'm eager to play in front of them alongside my great teammates."

A native of Durham, North Carolina, Opara posted MLS career-highs during the 2016 season with 25 games played and three assists while contributing to seven shutouts. He also finished 2016 as Sporting Kansas City’s regular season leader in clearances (75) and duel success rate (65.5%).

Opara opened his 2016 scoring account in a 3-1 win over New York City FC on July 10, seven days after notching his first career MLS assist on Matt Besler’s 91st-minute game-winner in a 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew SC. He added two more assists before season’s end, setting up Jacob Peterson’s strike in a 3-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC on July 24


and coming off the bench to assist Kevin Ellis’ late winner against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sept. 24.

In his first season with Sporting Kansas City, Opara was named the club’s Newcomer of the Year. He played 25 matches in all competitions and scored four goals — three in the regular season and one in the CONCACAF Champions League. He also appeared in three postseason matches during Sporting Kansas City’s run to the 2013 MLS Cup title.

Opara started four of five appearances in March 2014 before an ankle injury at the end of the month sidelined him for the rest of the year. He enjoyed an excellent start to 2015, earning six starts and scoring two goals en route to an MLS Player of the Month nomination inMarch, but suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in April.

Opara began his MLS career with the San Jose Earthquakes as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of Wake Forest University. The Generation adidas signing played 36 MLS matches for the team over three seasons, netting three goals and helping the club win the 2012 Supporters’ Shield. Opara enters 2017 with nine goals in 91 career MLS appearances (including playoffs).

On the international scene, Opara represented the United States at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He also started all three matches for the U.S. at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt.

The San Francisco 49ers are still considered among the favorites for the 2015 Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean they don't have several significant questions to address for next season. Head coach Jim Harbaugh spoke to the media at the NFL Combine on Thursday, and though he refused to talk about Jonathan Martin, a former player of his at Stanford who is currently embroiled in a bullying scandal, he did talk about issues pertinent to his own team.

Our latest mock draft Blake Bortles is back on top in our last mock draft before the start of the NFL Combine.

One of the more pressing concerns at the moment for the 49ers is the impending free agency of wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Harbaugh said that negotiations with Boldin were goingin a "positive direction," and that's excellent news for San Francisco fans. Boldin finished the year with 895 more yards than any other wide receiver on the team. It would be a significant blow to lose him.

A player who is almost certainly not going to be with the team in Week 1 is All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman. After tearing his ACL in gruesome fashion against the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, the timetable for his return was murky. But Harbaugh says "halfway through the season" is realistic, per Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. Though, the head coach noted that nothing would surprise him from Bowman.

Breaking down SB Nation's latest mock draft

One player who is almost certain to not be on the 49ers roster next year


is draft prospect Johnny Manziel. The quarterback out of Texas A&M is projected to be a top-10 pick, though his actual draft value has been hotly debated. Harbaugh is among those who thinks Manziel will enjoy a lot of success at the NFL level, according to Dan Kadar of Mocking the Draft. Though the 49ers are possibly in negotiations on a contract extension for quarterback Colin Kaepernick, there are some who have their doubts about Kaepernick's long-term future and success after some questionable decisions in the playoffs.

Perhaps if the Niners had a top pick in the draft there would be some controversy, but they don't choose until 30th overall.

Finally, Tank Carradine was a second-round pick by San Francisco last year who fell due to a knee injury. HarbaughMorgan Lewis gets rid of 50 associates

The cutbacks will mainly hit the firm's transactional practice, with some losses coming from the litigation and employment groups.Managing partner of the firm's Washington DC office Michael Kelly said that 15 of the 50 will go from his office. He added that offices in Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles will also be affected.Partners, too, could feel the effects of the slowdown. Kelly admitted that the point values used to calculate equity partner compensation will be lower than last year. Points are expected to fall by between 5 and 10 per cent.Explaining the need to make cuts, Kelly conceded that Morgan Lewis had been overly optimistic in predicting the rate of client demand. Business continued to grow throughout the year, but not


to a level high enough to meet the firm's estimates.Kelly stated that, as a result of this imbalance, the firm's management committee realised that a business decision to rationalise numbers had to be made. The initial public offering work that had become a driving force for the corporate practice dwindled. Morgan Lewis was left with more associates than were necessary to meet client demand, particularly in the areas of venture capital and emerging growth.Morgan Lewis's London senior partner Charles Lubar said that the decisions made in the US will have no knock-on effect in the UK. He was pragmatic about the US situation. “Some practice areas are extremely busy and some are not,” he commented.providers at Los Angeles Trade Technical College on Thursday afternoon.

Becerra endorsed then-Sen. Christopher Dodd in the 2008 Democratic primary. When the Connecticut senator dropped out of the race after a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses, Becerra threw his support behind Barack Obama.

Becerra announced last week that he would run for reelection rather than seek the U.S. Senate seat being given up by Barbara Boxer. Term-limited in his current position as the fourth-ranking House Democrat, Becerra has said he probably would seek a higher leadership position should either of the three Democrats above him step down.

Clinton has already earned the support of dozens of House Democrats


but only one from a party member higher in the leadership ranks: Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) has not formally endorsed her, but she has spoken favorably of her candidacy in public and introduced Clinton at a recent meeting of the Democratic caucus as the next president of the United States.

In July, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin) became the first member of Congress to endorse former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley in the Democratic race, and campaigned with him in Iowa.

The origin of the term casino is often argued by many, but history has it that the word casino got it’s roots from the word Casa which means a little house in Italian. Therefore it is theorised that the term originated in Italy and originally means a house or a social club. As time went by, the term casino began to spread until it gained a wider popularity in the 19th century. In contemporary society casinos are found in public buildings and social gatherings, very close to relaxation and pleasurable spots.

This localization of a casino is dependent on how social the community is because the original casinos were built in a larger Italian villa. Casinos were originally designed to host some functions such as gambling, and sports. Thesea 5 card hand.

Craps is a dice game that is based on seven. This is a very popular game that often draws crowds to spectate while the players bet around the table. The main focus of this game is the pass line. 7 and 11 win on this pass line while 2, 3 and 12 lose. Other numbers rolled become an extra point.

However, security cameras are not the only technological measures, rules of behaviour are enforced in order to avoid cheating as players at card games are required to keep the cards they are holding in their hands visible for transparency for anyone outside of the game itself. Modern casinos have been designed to accommodate families and not just the usual gamblers you associate with these establishments. Some casinos offer theme parks, luxurious hotels, sporting venues, department stores for everyone to enjoy. These amenities increase visitors as well as income.

Sergei Skripal is no longer in a critical condition following last month's nerve agent attack, Salisbury District Hospital says.

The former Russian double agent is "responding well to treatment" and is "improving rapidly", said Dr Christine Blanshard, medical director at the hospital.

The 66-year-old and his daughter Yulia, 33, have been under the watch of medics since they were attacked with novichok at their home in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

The pair were rushed to hospital after shoppers found them collapsed on a bench at The Maltings shopping centre on 4 March.

:: 'Miracle' recovery - How the Skripals survived

On Thursday, Ms Skripal revealed she "woke up over a week ago" and that her "strength is growing daily".

Dr Blanshard said any speculation on when she might be wellenough to leave hospital "will be just that - speculation".

In response to news of Mr Skripal's recovery, the Russian Embassy in London tweeted: "Good news!"

Just over a week ago, the ex-spy's best friend Ross Cassidy said they should be allowed to die and that "death would probably be merciful".

The latest update on the Skripals' recovery comes as a relative in Moscow revealed she wants to visit her uncle and cousin - but thinks Britain will stop her from coming over.

Speaking to Sky News in Moscow, Viktoria Skripal said she has applied for a visa to visit them, but has been told by staff at the British Embassy in Moscow that it is now up to


the UK authorities to decide whether to let her in.

She said she was "pretty sure" she would not be given a visa - despite the efforts of her compatriots.

She reportedly received a phone call from Yulia on Wednesday night who told her "everything is fine" and that "I will be discharged soon", adding that her father was "resting, sleeping".

Viktoria recorded the conversation and it was broadcast on Russian state TV, but its authenticity cannot be verified.

Meanwhile, the war of words continued between Britain and Russia, with Moscow warning the UK it is "playing with fire and will be sorry" during a second UN Security Council showdown over the attempted murders.

Russia's UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya told members that characters in Midsomer Murdersknew "hundreds of very clever ways of killing someone", but those who sought to kill the Skripals "supposedly chose an extremely toxic chemical substance, the most risky, dangerous method possible" and "didn't really finish the job".

In another literary nod, he sarcastically likened the British accusations to the queen from Alice In Wonderland who demands the "sentence first - verdict afterward".

British ambassador Karen Pierce hit back, saying she would take no lectures from Moscow and would "stick to the facts" during the terse exchanges.

FAIRFIELD - Solano County got its seventh and last city back in 1903, when Fairfield incorporated after some 50 years of existence as a town.

Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Benicia, Dixon, Vallejo and Rio Vista - that's been the unchanging lineup for more than a century. Many other fast-growing counties have added cities, but not Solano County.

County Supervisor Mike Reagan is willing to entertain the idea of an eighth city someday emerging. He doesn't see the need for several decades. But, with the county revising its General Plan, he's thinking ahead.

"It's just a matter of math," Reagan said.

For Reagan, the math starts with Fairfield and Benicia having voter-approved growth boundaries, Vacaville considering them and Vallejo and Suisun City being largely landlocked. Meanwhile, the Association of BayBatson agreed with Berman that cities should grow up, not out. Five-story condominiums could someday be a new niche to the city's housing stock, he said.

But he can also envision the day Solano County someday gets an eighth city and said the idea is worth close study. He sees that as being consistent with his philosophy that existing cities such as Fairfield and Vacaville won't keep growing indefinitely.

Also, Fairfield cannot become the type of pedestrian-friendly city where a large number of people walk instead of drive, not with 90 percent of its footprint already built, Batson said.

"If you design a city from the ground up, maybe you can do some of those things that are so neat," he said.

For now, Solano County's possible eighth city remains firmly entrenched


in the "what if" category. But growth choices made today - including whether to favor compact growth and where to build roads - will help shape that future.

How cities start

California as a whole has kept adding cities regularly throughout its 156-year history. It added at least 15 since 1990, bringing its total to 478.

Often a city forms as American Canyon in Napa County did in 1992. The community grows up in the unincorporated county. At some point, citizens decide they want their fate controlled by a city council, rather than the county board of supervisors.

Solano County has few candidates to become its next major city by going this route. None of its tiny towns is ideal: Collinsville and Birds Landing are remote, Cordelia is almost surrounded by Fairfieldand Elmira residents talk of keeping nearby Vacaville at bay, rather than going on a growth spurt.

Another way to create a new city is by starting from scratch, with a plan.

That happened with Irvine in Orange County. The Irvine Co. in the 1960s decided to develop part of its 150-square-mile ranch that stretched from the ocean into the foothills. Planners drew up a master plan that included the University of California, Irvine, residential neighborhoods, industrial and business areas and parks and greenbelts.

The Irvine Co. built several subdivisions in the unincorporated county and the new residents in 1971 voted to become a city. Today, Irvine is home to about 134,000 people and covers 43 square miles.

Solano's past proposed master-planned cities

Solano County has had proposals for master-planned cities, though none


panned out.

Perhaps the grandest dates back to 1913. San Francisco street car magnate John Calhoun decided to build a metropolis called Solano City near what is now Travis Air Force Base. He'd then planned to make a financial killing by extending his company's rail system to the site.

Calhoun and other San Francisco business giants reportedly gained control of 150,000 acres for their project. Designer Mark Daniels said the city would be only the second in America that had been master planned from start to finish. He based his design on Washington D.C. and Boston, creating a circle with eight major roads radiating from the civic center at the hub.

"If the plan is adhered to - and I believe it will be - Solano will be one of themost beautiful cities in America," Daniels said.

But Solano City turned out to be more of a money-making scheme than anything else. Soon the venture went bust. The backers bought land for the city, failed to pay for all of it, yet still sold the land to others. More than 300 creditors battled to get their money back from the bankrupt undertaking.

Calhoun, though, walked away relatively unscathed and made a fortune on oil in the San Joaquin Valley.

Another proposed, master-planned Solano County community was called Manzanita. San Francisco businessman Hiram Woo in the early 1980s wanted to build it on cow pastures along Interstate 505 between Vacaville and Winters.

Manzanita designers envisioned an unconventional community. Homes would be in clusters with community centers and would use solar power. People going


for walks would use overpasses and underpasses so they never had to cross streets. A forest would be planted to surround the city.

But Manzanita ignited Solano County's orderly growth movement, which sought to keep growth in the existing seven cities. Voters in 1984 passed Proposition A, which stated most rural land cannot be developed unless annexed by a city. Opponents saw Manzanita-type ventures as turning the region into a sprawl of development and hurting agriculture.

City-centered growth has remained the rule in Solano County ever since. The orderly growth law lasts through 2010, when it expires.

Where to fit a new city?

Should Solano County someday want to contemplate creating a new city from scratch, it would seem to have limited choices. The obvious location - somewhere along Interstate 80, theregion's major road - is out. Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville and Dixon have already taken up most of the available frontage.

A new city would ideally be near a freeway or highway. It would have to be away from Travis Air Force Base flight patterns and vernal pools that are home to rare creatures protected by environmental laws - requirements that rule out the old Solano City site. It would likely be steered away from the best agricultural soils. It would have to be some distance from existing cities, who wouldn't want new development on their doorsteps.

When all is said and done, the area around the old Manzanita site along I-505 remains a contender, given the freeway access. But previous talk of a city there fueled Solano County's growth wars

2. Like President Reagan when he fired the striking air traffic controllers in 1981, President Trump sent several messages with the action taken last night. Here are two of them. The Obama era in American foreign policy is over. Trump doesn’t issue empty threats.

3. President Obama sought to tie the United States down in the world like the Lilliputians did Gulliver. Among the instruments employed by Obama to restrain the United States was the United Nations. President Trump gave the United Nations the opportunity to weigh in yesterday. When it failed to act, Trump proceeded. Again, the Obama era in foreign policy is over.

4. Trump acted with decisive force to achieve a limited objective.


he drove off the concrete slab of pavement into an open space or gap left in the pavement by the road building contractor and across the approximate 30 foot space representing the open space or gap, and into the blunt end of the pavement slab beginning at the opposite side of the open space or gap. The collision of the front end of Boyd Driver's automobile with the end of the concrete slab was one of considerable force and violence, and Driver was thrown forward into the windshield and he was injured so that he died six days later.
The defendant, Worth Construction Company, was a corporation engaged in road construction and paving. By contract with the State of Texas, it conducted the work of converting Highway 183 throughRiver Oaks Village from a highway of a type with a single-roadway to a boulevard-type highway. The operation was one which would upon completion have resulted in the roadway theretofore existing being one upon which only westbound traffic would travel, and the new pavement strip which was constructed parallel with and immediately to the south of the old roadway being one upon which only eastbound traffic would travel. There was to be an unpaved strip, or parkway, which would lie between the pavement lanes and which would separate vehicles traveling toward the east from those traveling toward the west. Prior to the time this construction was begun Highway 183 was already carrying a rather heavy load of traffic, both during daylight hours and at night, and during the


time of construction, this traffic continued in effect, all if it being upon the old roadway or pavement theretofore existent. The new roadway and new pavement being installed thereon had not yet been opened for use.
*177 There were several streets, intersecting with Highway 183, which carried traffic to and fro from one side of the highway to the other, and which served to get vehicular traffic off of and onto the highway in question, and at these points the Worth Construction Company had adopted varying methods whereby this necessary purpose was accomplished. For instance, at the intersection of the highway with Ohio Garden Road, which intersection was the site of the accident of Boyd Driver, the gap was left out of the new pavement strip, and no barricadeswere placed to either side of Ohio Garden Road at the new construction, but four flares, two upon the surface of the concrete to either side of the intersecting road, and one each of such flares upon the corners of the two slabs made by the failure to connect such slabs together. The surface of Ohio Garden Road was about one foot below the level of the pavement slabs, ends of which were to either side of such road. On the other hand, the next intersecting road to the west which was left open and available for north-south traffic to cross Highway 183 was Merritt Street, and at this intersection there was a "sawhorse-type barricade" placed upon the newly constructed pavement at the east side of such intersection.


At the intersection of Merritt Street and Highway 183, the newly poured pavement extended across such street, so that a member of the traveling public who was proceeding in a northerly direction on Merritt Street would approach the intersection, then drive upon and across the new pavement, then upon and across the "break" of the 29 foot wide "parkway section", comprising the area dividing the new part of the highway from the old part, then upon and across the old pavement of the highway then existing and completed and open to the traveling public. Besides the aforesaid barricade at the intersection of Merritt Street with Highway 183 there were some flares burning, at least one of which was placed at the north end of the barricade. There wasno sign on the barricade itself lettered so as to warn against entering upon the new pavement, nor was there any sign located proximate to the barricade conveying any similar warning. The only signs in any wise relating to such were those visible to motorists traveling either north or south on Merritt Street, one each of which was placed so that just before entering either the new or the old sections of the highway from either the south or the north such a motorist would find at his right, in position where "stop-sings" are ordinarily found at roads intersecting into highways, medium sized lettered signs reading "Construction Drive Carefully".
Earlier during the night of the fatal accident, Boyd Driver, who had a full time job as to which he


had received notice he was to be "laid off", had gone to the cafe known as "Tuck's Grill", which was on Main Street in downtown Fort Worth. The purpose of going to the cafe was to discuss with its operator the possibilities of obtaining "full-time" employment from him. It appears that Driver worked "part time" at the cafe, accommodating the hours of such part-time employment to his regular job. He was therefore personally acquainted with the cafe operator and with Ira Siratt, a "full-time" employee of the cafe. Mr. Siratt lived in a downtown hotel located within a very short distance of the cafe. Mr. Driver lived in a section of Fort Worth located to the east or southeast of the business district. The cafe operator lived northwestof Fort Worth in the River Oaks Village area. Pursuant to Driver's conversation with the operator of the cafe, or pursuant to the accomplishment of the purposes of his visit initially occasioning his trip to the cafe, Driver volunteered to drive such cafe operator to his home in River Oaks. Mr. Siratt went along on the trip, activated in so doing by his desire for the companionship of Mr. Driver and for the pleasure of the drive. The normal return trip from River Oaks to Driver's home would take him by the section of Fort Worth where Siratt resided. Upon the trip to the cafe operator's home from the cafe location, Driver traveled in a westerly direction on Highway 183 upon reaching that highway by a route taken


to *178 the northwest from downtown Fort Worth. In driving toward the west on Highway 183, he traveled the existing and open highway in use which paralleled the new roadway in the process of construction for a considerable distance before turning to the left and driving to a point south of the highway to the home of the cafe operator. In so doing he observed that over the entire roadway such travel as there was on Highway 183 was solely by use of the old section of the highway. At least the evidence established that such travel as there was upon the highway during that period was all on the old section.
After leaving the home of the cafe operator Mr. Driver followed the practical route which would haveenabled him to return to downtown Fort Worth by way of returning first to Highway 183 and driving toward the east thereon, afterward to proceed toward the southeast and into town. That is, he did so up until the time he reached the highway by way of traveling in a northerly direction on Merritt Street, at which point he would normally turn to his right and drive east on the old roadway section of Highway 183 which was the road used by him on his initial trip. Upon reaching the highway, however, he drove his car upon the new pavement slab which intersected Merritt Street, thence across the same and upon the "break" in the "parkway section" dividing the new section from the one in use, thence across


the "break" and upon the old roadway section which was open and in use by the general traveling public. Here there was a departure from the usual course of events. Mr. Driver proceeded to drive across said roadway and some 100 feet to the north thereof, still in Merritt Street. Then he turned his automobile around and drove back in a southerly direction and upon the old roadway section, thence across the same and upon the "break" in the "parkway section", and thence across such break, turning to his left as he did so, so that driving close to the north end of the "sawhorse-type barricade" heretofore mentioned, and past a burning flare located by the north end thereof, he drove up onto the new pavement slab intendedfor use by eastbound traffic once the new part of the highway would be opened for travel, and turning and directing his automobile toward the east he drove in an easterly direction down the newly poured strip of concrete. He continued on this course until the automobile reached Ohio Garden Road, 700 to 800 feet east of Merritt Street, where the break in the new pavement was (where no concrete had been poured and there was a gap which was both unpaved and ungraded, the surface of the ground within which was below the level of the concrete) at which point his automobile went into the pit or hole thereby occasioned, thence into the wall constituted by the concrete beginning again to the east of Ohio Garden Road.


At the point of entry near the barricade at Merritt Street there were tire marks indicating other vehicles had at a prior time driven onto the new part of the highway in like manner.
It is to be noted that the undisputed evidence established that no other vehicle was possible to have been observed by Mr. Driver upon the new section of road where he attempted to travel immediately prior to the time of the accident, and that such vehicles as there were upon the highway were traveling in both directions on the old roadway to his left. This was true both as to the trip to River Oaks, and as to the trip back toward Fort Worth. Furthermore, the evidence established that there were flares all along thefound for the plaintiff that the defendant, Worth Construction Company, was negligent in failing to have a barricade on the new concrete highway at its intersection with Ohio Garden Road, and that such negligence was a proximate cause of the accident. Then, in answer to the defensive issue, numbered 34 in the charge, "Do you find and believe from a preponderance of the evidence that Boyd Driver was negligent in failing to travel on the old portion of Highway 183 on the occasion in question?", the jury did find that he was negligent in such respect, and in the issue conditioned thereupon additionally found that such negligence was a proximate cause of the accident. It is noted that the contributory negligence alleged in the defendant's pleadings was in


the same form, the allegation of the pleading being that plaintiff was negligent "in failing to proceed to and travel on the main portion of Highway 183 running parallel to the roadway under construction on which he was traveling." No exception was directed to this part of such pleading. The jury refused to find in the defendant's behalf that Driver failed to keep a proper lookout, or that he failed to heed either the flares or the warning signs down at the point on Merritt Street where he turned into and drove upon the new concrete, or that he was driving at a negligent rate of speed immediately prior to the time of the collision. There was no issue submitted analogous to Special Issue Number 34 relating totrue that the jury found that Driver did drive around the barricade and the flares at the Merritt Street intersection with the new roadway. The jury refused to find that these acts on Driver's part were negligent acts. It is likewise true that the jury found that Driver did not fail to heed the flares, warning signs, and the barricade at the Merritt Street intersection. These findings were certainly related to the question of Mr. Driver's negligence in first driving his automobile up onto the pavement slab of the new roadway. The findings are related to the "driving upon" the new roadway in the immediate vicinity of the barricade, flares and signs. They are not necessarily related to the driving of his automobile in the course of travel


down the new roadway between that point and the Ohio Garden Road intersection. In the case of an automobile collision the driver of a motor vehicle may not be negligent in driving upon the left-hand side of the pavement when he first gets upon that portion of a highway, but he may be negligent in continuing to drive upon such left-hand side as he continues in his travel down the highway. Absent any statutes dealing with the question, the circumstances dealing with such course of action on his part and decisive of the negligence question may be similar or even interrelated with the circumstances which freed from negligence his act in first driving on the left-hand side. It may be only the addition or deletion of an elementof such circumstances which constitutes a change whereby in the one instance the act was non-negligent and in the other the continuance of the act became negligent. The specific averments made in the answer of the appellee upon which the case was tried embodied pleadings which supported the submission of the special issues, answer to which resulted in the findings set out in the first two sentences of this paragraph. Yet the pleadings of the appellee set forth its charge of contributory negligence against the appellant upon both counts, the first "driving upon" the new roadway, and the second the "traveling upon" the new roadway after driving upon it. Though these pleadings might have been subject to attack as constituting a general averment of negligence as to Driver's


parkway, one roadway traveled solely by vehicles proceeding in a northerly direction and the other traveled solely by vehicles proceeding in a southerly direction) was negligent in failing to use the roadway for southbound traffic when he was in fact traveling south in his automobile, but was using the roadway open for use only by northbound traffic, then the question posed would be one which would be an ultimate and controlling issue. In the latter instance the question would be no different from that in a negligence case growing out of an automobile accident which occurred upon a highway with a single slab of pavement, divided down its center by a black or white line, as result of one driver getting across onto the wrong side of theduty is incumbent upon the driver of a vehicle who uses a boulevard *182 type highway open for traffic, but with the roadway used by traffic proceeding in one direction divided by a parkway from the roadway used by traffic proceeding in the opposite direction. The application of the statute in such instances is demonstrated by referring to the definitions in the Act of the terms "roadway" and "highway" under Section 13 of T.R.C.S., Article 6701d.
Except for the fact that the new portion of Highway 183 in the vicinity of the fatal accident was not open, and except for the circumstance that the physical situation occasioned by the building of the new portion of such highway to the south rather than to the north side of the old


of the circumstances and conditions shown by the evidence, that he was driving upon a roadway which had not been opened to the general public upon the occasion immediately prior to the accident.
Of course, the submission of Special Issue 34 was as to the deceased's negligence in that he "failed to travel on the old portion of the highway" rather than in that he "did travel upon the new portion" of the highway-to-be, it not yet having been opened to the public. There was no phase of the objection which was made which complained of a negative rather than an affirmative form of submission.
Reverting again to the argument of appellant that the issue posed no more question as to the deceased than as to all other vehicle operatorsjob for flares, barricades, and signs and found the same sufficient. An examination of the testimony in question reveals that Cumming, a supervisory employee of the appellee, testified that in connection with the placing of warning signs and barricades he had supervision from the Highway Department, that the Highway Department had inspectors who made inspections (including inspections with reference to barricades, flares and signs) daily, and likewise had a resident engineer who on the particular job of widening Highway 183 made such character of inspections, and further that neither the engineer nor any of the inspectors on the job ever called attention with reference to the Merritt Street intersection,nor had the State Highway Department, prior to the time of the fatal accident. To this testimony the appellant objected


43, 56 and 59.
In answering issues submitted, the jury failed to find that deceased was negligent in driving around the flares and barricade at the Merritt Street intersection, and failed to find that he did not heed the warning signs, flares and barricade at that intersection. It seems that an answer that he was negligent in not driving on the old portion of the highway is for all practical purposes tantamount to a finding that he was negligent in driving around the flares and barricade and that he failed to heed the warning signs, flares and barricade. In other words, it appears to me that the jury found in effect that deceased was and was not negligent in not traveling on the old portion of the highway, andputs us on a spaceship is one of the several films-in-one; the mission itself and its science is another; what happens on the mission and afterward is another film or two, though these tie the others together.

The Call for Presentations for the 37th Annual WNA Symposium is now out, with an 18th May deadline for submissions. The WNA Symposium is the nuclear industry’s premier event – an annual conference attended by over 700 leaders and specialists from more than 30 countries. The Symposium brings together the nuclear industry and its major stakeholders to discuss topics ranging from the nuclear fuel market to the practicalities of building new nuclear power plants.

The topics we are particularly looking to cover include, but will not be limited to:

• From mining to fabrication: the key issues for fuel supply in meeting growth. • Adjusting to lower secondary supplies with the end of the US/Russia HEU Agreement. • Keeping on track with waste management, decommissions and disposal.is from the conviction judgments of William Eugene Sheehan and Robert Lee Sheehan, brothers, and Joseph Andrew Sheehan, their cousin, for having used the mails in a scheme to defraud customers in the sale of hearing aids in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341.

The three Sheehans and a fourth person, LeRoy Junior Westberg, a former brother-in-law of William and Robert, were indicted by a grand jury on December 21, 1967 on twenty counts of mail fraud.  All entered pleas of not guilty but Westberg later changed his plea to guilty on two counts and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment on one of them, given a suspended sentence on the other and placed on three years' probation.  He does not appeal.  When the Sheehans were tried,

William Sheehan became the sole owner of Transistor Hearing Aid Company in 1958.  Robert and Floyd, his brothers, were salesmen for the company and Joseph, his cousin, was also a salesman there for about a year, beginning in 1959.  In 1960, Robert Sheehan and Joseph Sheehan owned and operated Central Iowa Hearing Aid Center for several months.  In 1961, Robert purchased Electronic Hearing Aid Company but sold it to Joseph in July, 1962 and acquired Stereophonic Sound.

Original counsel represented defendants during the trial and on appeal until after the original brief was filed.  At that time another firm was substituted as counsel for defendants and that firm filed a supplemental brief and made the oral argument before this court.  The original briefin 1959 when William was the owner and Robert and Joseph were salesmen, and there was a continual change of names and businesses between them, all operating in the same manner and many times selling to the same customers.  Joseph testified that William owned Transistor Hearing Aid Company in 1959, that he worked for him for a year as a salesman, and that at that time Robert and Floyd, another brother of William and Robert, worked there as salesmen.  Then Joseph and Robert worked together at another location for three or four months under the name of Central Iowa Hearing Aid Center.  Afterwards, Robert operated Electronic Hearing Aid Company from the old Central Iowa location and Joseph worked out of his home under the name


of Central Iowa.  Later, he and Robert both moved their businesses to another location.  The offices seemed to be essentially family operations, other members of the family working for the defendants in secretarial and clerical capacities.  After 1962, Joseph was the sole owner of Electronic Hearing Aid Company.

35
Many times two of the defendants, or one of the defendants and another salesman, called on customers together.  Their sales talks and manner of operation were essentially the same.  Within a few months, or even days, after making a sale, they would sometimes sell or attempt to sell the customer a different hearing aid, sometimes a used one which they represented as new.  They usually took the previously sold hearing aid in on a tradebut charged the customer full price or more.  They failed to service the hearing aids as promised or guaranteed.  One of the defendants would sell a customer a hearing aid and then he or another defendant, representing the same or another company, would call on the customer offering a 'better' one.  Joseph, the only one of the three who testified, denied that they had any access to each other's prospective customer list, however.  Although William and Robert Sheehan did not testify, it was proven by customers who testified that they had received cards, letters and hearing aids from them through the United States mails.  Joseph identified an advertising card which he mailed out from Central Iowa Hearing Aid Center to Mr. Widick.


It is clear that the mails were used in the advertising and sale of hearing aids and it is equally clear that their sales, particularly their repeat sales, were fraudulent.

During the period between March, 1963 and February, 1964, over $7,000.00 in checks were written by Mrs. Minnie Ver Meer, an 87-year-old lady, payable to Electronic, Stereophonic Sound, Transistor, Iowa Central, Robert Sheehan and Josephine Mary Cipale, Joseph's wife.  Robert and Joseph were involved with these companies at this time.  Joseph's wife carried a bank account in her maiden name of Cipale to which the checks made out to her in that name were deposited.  Joseph admitted that they were married at that time and was unable to satisfactorily explain why her bank account was inoriginal records and were admissible under appropriate statutes and rules of the court.  Defendants now complain that these exhibits were not accompanied by proper certificates, but no objection was made on this ground at the time of their introduction.  We find no merit to their belated objection.  Certainly no prejudice could have resulted since the evidence which the exhibits contained was cumulative to other evidence in the record.  Not only did Pinegar testify concerning the same facts, but other witnesses, including Joseph Sheehan, testified concerning the ownership and operation by the defendants of companies under the various trade names.

Defendants did make a timely objection, however, that no proper foundation was laid because the Deputy who testified was not employed at the Recorder's Office at

On Dec. 22, 1962, CU fell 60-52 at Arizona in the final non-conference tune-up for Big Eight play.

"I remember Jimmy Davis and I both fouled out early in the second half down there," Ken Charlton said. "It was an interesting game, I'll just say that."

Led by Charlton, a 6-6 senior forward from Denver, and Davis, a 6-8 junior center from Muncie, Indiana, the Buffs responded by winning seven of their first eight conference games.

On March 9, 1963, CU defeated Kansas State 69-56 in Manhattan to claim a share of the program's second consecutive Big Eight championship.

The Buffs won the tiebreaker with the Wildcats because


they had more overall wins and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

Boyle is the first head coach since Sox Walseth to lead CU to consecutive invitations to the Big Dance.

"Honestly, I didn't realize that. I had no idea it had been 50 years since we had back-to-back teams in the NCAA (Tournament)," Charlton said. "Sox was a wonderful man. When we won back then it was so different because you had to win your conference to go to the NCAAs. The athletes now are much faster and jump higher and it's a whole different game."

There was no 3-point line or shot clock during the Walseth era. The legendary coach's offense called for guards Eric Lee, Lonnie Melton and George Parsons to avoid turnovers, control tempo and feed the post.

TheBuffs finished the regular season 18-6 overall (11-3 in the Big Eight) and defeated Oklahoma City 82-72 in the first round of the 25-team NCAA Tournament.

"I really felt that we had a team that could challenge for the NCAA championship," Davis said.

Unfortunately for the Buffs, Cincinnati was also in the Midwest Regional in both 1962 and 1963.

After CU cruised through the Big Eight with a 13-1 record and defeated Texas Tech at the NCAA Tournament in 1961-62, the Bearcats ended the title hopes for the boys from Boulder with a 73-46 blowout win over the Buffs in the regional final.

Cincinnati went on to beat UCLA in the national semifinals and defeated Ohio State for the second consecutive season in the national championship game.

"The first time we met them


they beat us badly. It was not even a close game," Charlton said. "They had beaten Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek and Ohio State for the national title. They had a wonderful team. They were just better than we were."

In the 1963 rematch, the Buffs had a two-point lead at halftime but lost 67-60.

"Getting a chance to play against one of my high school teammates (Bonham), who was Mr. Basketball in Indiana, was a great opportunity," Davis said. "We had the lead in the second half but they put on a press and caused us some problems."

Charlton, the most outstanding player of the Midwest Regional and an All-American, scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his final game as a Buff. He finished his college career playingwith a bad knee that required three different surgeries.

"If Ken Charlton had not been injured with his knee, which never really came back, we would have been even better," Davis said. "But Ken was formidable with one leg."

The Bearcats' bid for a three-peat ended with a loss to Loyola (Chicago) in the championship game.

After the runs in 1962 and 1963, CU only participated in three more NCAA Tournaments (1969, 1997 and 2003) before Boyle's back-to-back appearances.

"We have tradition. The problem is our tradition is spotty," Boyle said during a press conference on Thursday at the Erwin Center. "We have been to a Final Four; it's been since the 1950s. We have been to multiple NCAA Tournaments; it's been since the 1960s. We have got Chauncey Billups, obviously at


the end of his NBA career, who led his team to the NCAA Tournament. And then the 2003 team.

"We've had some tough years," Charlton said. "Right now I think we've got some talent on this team and they're all very young, so I'm kind of anxious to see what happens."

Considering the Buffs start a junior, two sophomores and two freshmen, there is a chance next year the program could appear in the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season, something that has never happened at CU.

"That's unreal to me," Davis said when told that this is the first time in 50 years that the Buffs done the back-to-back dance. "I thought we should have went three years in a row. Two years ago they should have got in."

BoulderPayPal has reportedly announced it will cancel plans for a $3.6 million expansion in Charlotte, North Carolina as a response to the passage of a bill aimed at protecting women and girls from having their bathroom and shower privacy invaded by biological men.

The backlash against North Carolina has been immense with the NBA threatening to remove its All-Star Game and major corporations making complaints and threats.

While PayPal is offended by the North Carolina law, PayPall is apparently fine allowing its services to be used in countries where homosexuals really are persecuted, some of them unto death.

They walked up the stairs leading to apartment 3 and found Ruben Armenta, one of the persons named in the warrant, sitting approximately two feet from the apartment door on the top step; they walked past him and knocked on the door. Within a few seconds a little girl came up the stairs, walked past Armenta and the officers and opened the door.

Danny Rogers (left) saved Martyn Waghorn's penalty

Danny Rogers saved Martyn Waghorn's stoppage-time penalty to give Falkirk a win over Championship leaders Rangers.

John Baird opened the scoring for Falkirk with an early penalty, wrongly awarded by referee Willie Collum.

Barrie McKay equalised with a low drive before the splendid Will Vaulks put Falkirk back in front after the break.

Rangers created multiple chances but could not beat Rogers again - even when they were awarded a ridiculously soft penalty in the dying minutes.

Rogers dived low to his left and tipped Waghorn's effort on to the post.

Third-placed Falkirk's win reduced the gap on Rangers to six points, with Hibernian between them in second.

This game was firecracker stuff right from the get-go.

Danny Wilson hauled down Vaulks forthat first penalty, but it was plain to most inside Falkirk Stadium that the foul was committed outside the box. Plain to all - except the officials.

It was Collum who pointed to the spot, with encouragement from his assistant referee, and it was Baird who fired it home - his 14th goal of a fine season.

Goalkeeper Wes Foderingham got a hand to it but could not deny Falkirk their dream beginning.

Collum got stick from the home support in the aftermath, but Wilson's role cannot be ignored. He had no need to sell himself in the way he did.

In doing so, he merely confirmed the feeling that Rangers have major issues at centre-half. Their vulnerability was a recurring theme of the day.

Rangers responded impressively when a Nathan Oduwa cross


was flicked on by James Tavernier to the feet of McKay. The midfielder thumped a shot low past Rogers. Short-lived joy for the visitors as it turned out.

Peter Houston's team are on a terrific run. Coming into this one, they had five wins and two draws from their last seven games. They've scored an average of three goals per game in that run.

Their confidence is sky high and they should have been back in front midway through the first half. This was a bizarre incident.

Once again, Falkirk got in behind Rangers. The impressive teenager, Kevin O'Hara, curled in a goal-bound shot that was touched home by Baird while standing in an offside position.

Chris Wood was apparently trying to make a point about dividing professional and personal opinions in the workplace, but his superiors didn’t think his gesture was appropriate at all.

Chris Wood was given a written reprimand and is also ordered to attend sensitivity and interpersonal training.

“‘His delivery of that message was completely insensitive to not only the people in the room, and the things that were going on in our community, and our society, at that point, and that’s what stimulated us looking at it,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.

Chris Wood realized what he did was offensive and apologized to his colleagues.

“Deputy Wood obviously underestimated


the depth and varying personal opinions of his coworkers and now realizes that his message and delivery was poorly constructed and inappropriate,” Ivey said.

Skittles and iced tea have become very symbolic in the trial of George Zimmerman. Trayvon Martin carried these two items when he was shot while walking home in February 2012.

Many people were outraged when Zimmerman was found not guilty last week. Rallies have even been held across the country as activists begged authorities to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman.

The rallies were organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and took place in several different cities including Los Angeles, New York and Miami.

LAUSD, other Calif. districts seeking their own NCLB waiver

Calif. districts team up to push school improvements

Frustrated by their own state's pace and direction of school improvement, eight California districts have banded together to move ahead on rolling out the Common Core State Standards and designing new teacher evaluations based in part on student performance.

"What they are doing is quite innovative," said David N. Plank, the executive director of Policy Analysis for California Education, or PACE, a nonpartisan research center run by Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. "The districts are not in the same region, they are diverse in every dimension, and they are working strategically together to learn from one another and make constructive changes. It isEducation or Advocacy?

Catholic University has cancelled a screening of the film Milk, a biopic of Harvey Milk, a San Francisco politician murdered in 1978 by an angry office-seeker. Because Milk was the first outspokenly gay elected official in California, he is a martyr to the cause of gay rights, and the film (with Sean Penn) emphasizes Milk’s struggle against homophobia.

College Democrats at Catholic U. organized the event, hoping to screen the film this semester. Their request was readily accepted by the Campus Activities office. But the university changed its mind when it appeared that “the program would be a kickoff to LGBT Awareness Month,” the official statement ran (cited here). This raised the question about whether the event would veer “from one of education to one of advocacy.”

88 Wood Street is the second building made by the architect Richard Rogers in the City of London, the first issue in 1986 was the Lloyd’s Building, home of the English insurance company that gives its name.

The building was awarded the 2000 Civic Trust Award, RIBA Award 2000 Award and the Royal Fine Arts Commission Trust Award, 2000 and the Award from The American Institute of Architects London / UK Chapter Excellence in Design in 2002.

Location

By a long time Wood Street and the surrounding area were classified as low profile within the city of London, despite having the distinction of being the place where Shekespeare wrote Othello. Today it is home to a church tower deseñada by Sir Christopher Wren, as well as prominent office buildings conducted by


renowned architects Terry Farrell, Norman Foster and Richard Rogers among others.

This second work of Rogers in England’s capital was built at the place where the parade of a Roman fortress on the outskirts of town stood, 88 Wood Street, at its confluence with London Wall.

Concept

The original program commissioned RRP by the Japanese firm Daiwa to build the building that would be headquartered in Europe was changed at the request of the company, possibly due to the fall of the Japanese economy. The program design that should emphasize comfort of employees should be replaced by another that offered profitable land cost and two-thirds of the original budget, without losing the remarkable aspect of the building. Use change and obtaining the best possible space should be combined with the requirementof the customer for each plant natural light and enjoy the widest possible view, besides the difficult obtaining permits from the Department of Urban Planning city, should be respected as such aspects as building height in relation to the viewing corridors St Paul’s Cathedral and The Barbican.

Description

The building comprises three parallel staggered blocks, 8, 12 and 16 levels, united in the basement. Each one opens in its section of the ceiling, a panoramic garden overlooking the city of London. The outdoor location services in six areas of the building corners allow plants will be spared the characteristic core and resulting wide open.

With its modern facade, the building combines spline formed by an elegant concrete structure embraced by the metal tone steel frames and white tones of the glass,


not to mention the splashes of color features in the work of Richard Roger, in this case on the façade overlooking London Wall. A cacophony of hollow steel and elevators viewed remember their first project in the British capital, the Lloyds building, but perhaps more discreet, accompanied with striking yellow painted facade with stairs share funnels red and blue metal spring from the ground. These shapes and using colors that remind a boat, are located on the outside of the building and serve a practical function, blue ducts take the fresh air and the red leak and used.

Spaces

With its 33.000m2 built Richard Roger´s building has achieved distinguished from the usual speculative buildings with floor offices.

On Wood Street the building rises 8 floors, however there are two otherlevels retracted and hidden from the street, avoiding thus any obstruction on the church tower of St Alban and police station.

Turning the corner, on the side of London Wall composition stunning design consists of two other bodies, each with three separate terraces that increase height as they are deployed to the west reveals the first block with 14 plants, the second with 18, settling in what restrictive geometry allows the site.

The three blocks are divided by deep cuts, which allow entry of sunlight during the day in the building. The lightness despendre the building is partly given by the use of a floor to ceiling triple glazing on all facades.

We heard Monday that the Ravens would either trade or cut fullback Vonta Leach after talks on a restructured contract failed to lead to an agreement.

Tuesday brought the answer to which of those routes Baltimore would be taking. The team announced that they have released Leach, who spent the last two seasons helping clear holes for Ray Rice on the Ravens offense.

Leach had a $3 million base salary for the 2013 season, the final year of a three-year deal he signed with the Ravens before the 2011 season. He said last week that he hoped to remain with the Ravens and suggested he’d be open to revisiting his contract, but whatever the Ravens were offering clearly wasn’t amenable to the fullback. Leach was still productive last seasonSEOUL, South Korea — Stung by the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome, South Korea has passed a law authorizing prison terms of up to two years for people who defy quarantine orders or lie about their possible exposure to an infectious disease.

South Korea has had 181 confirmed cases of the disease known as MERS, including 31 deaths. The outbreak, which began last month, is the worst seen outside Saudi Arabia, where the disease was first identified.

The spread of MERS here has been attributed mainly to poor infection control at the country’s hospitals, as well as failures of communication and coordination on the government’s part. But the public has also been angered by reports of people flouting orders to stay home while they were being monitored for symptoms.


(CNN) A 4-year-old girl in Iowa nearly died and is now blind because of the flu, and her parents have a message: Get your child vaccinated.

"If I can stop one child from getting sick, that's what I want to do," said Amanda Phillips. "It's terrible to see your child suffer like this."

Jade DeLucia, who did not receive a flu shot this season, caught the flu a few days before Christmas and spent nearly two weeks in the intensive care unit at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.

"She is lucky to be alive," said one of her physicians, Dr. Theresa Czech. "She's a little fighter. And I think she's super lucky."

Her parents, who've missed work to care for Jade and face medical bills, have started a GoFundMepage.

Every year, dozens of children die from the flu, and most of them had not received a flu shot, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thousands more children are hospitalized.

Many of those who becomes seriously ill or died were perfectly healthy before they contracted the flu.

Jade is one of them.

'It's a little bug'

On December 19, Phillips noticed that Jade wasn't quite her usually bubbly self.

"She'd say, 'Mom, I don't feel good,' and we'd cuddle on the couch," Phillips remembers.

A few times over the next several days, Jade spiked a low-grade fever. Medicine brought it down easily, and she went back to playing with her older sister, Catalina.

"She was running around, having fun, eating normally, asking for snacks," her


mother remembers. "It was just -- it's a little bug, she'll get over it."

Phillips thinks back to those four days, December 19 through December 23, and wracks her brain for something that might have told her what was about to happen.

"There wasn't any sign that would've told me that something was seriously wrong with her," she said.

'We have to go to the emergency room'

The night of December 23, while Phillips was working her shift as an assistant manager at a Dollar General store, Jade's father, Stephen DeLucia, tucked Jade into bed.

The next morning, the family was ready to leave the house to spend Christmas Eve with Phillips' parents. But Jade hadn't yet woken up.

When her father went to check on her, Jade was lying in bed, unresponsive. Andher body was burning hot.

"I yelled at him -- I was like, 'We have to go. We have to go to the emergency room. This isn't right. Something's not right with her," Phillips said.

When they arrived at Covenant Medical Center, Jade's body started shaking uncontrollably, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

She was having a seizure.

Doctors filled the room. They said Jade needed to be transferred to the children's hospital at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, about 80 miles away. There was no time for an ambulance. She would have to be flown.

Her parents watched the helicopter take off.

"I didn't think I was going to see her again at that point," Phillips said. "I really didn't. Just from looking at her, I really


honestly didn't think I was going to see her."

Bad news on Christmas Day

On Christmas Day, Phillips and DeLucia found out flu had affected her brain.

Called encephalopathy, it's a known complication of the flu, according to the CDC.

Doctors showed Jade's parents the MRI results. Her brain was "lit up like a Christmas tree," her mother remembers.

"They said she had significant brain damage. They said our child might not ever wake up, and if she did, she might not ever be the same," she said.

Over the next few days, Jade remained almost completely unresponsive.

Czech, a pediatric neurologist, was brought in to consult on Jade's case. On December 31, she told Jade's parentswill you wrap your angels around Jade this morning and throughout the day and pray for healing today," the prayer went.

Then, they visited Jade at the hospital -- and her mother came out beaming.

What had seemed so unlikely had happened: Jade woke up.

"She's got her eyes open. She's looking around. We got a couple of hand squeezes! And then we got a smile!" she said.

Over the next few days, Jade kept getting better and better. Her breathing tube came out. She could sit up. She could eat -- and specifically requested chocolate pudding.

"Jade said 'Hi mommy' and you guys I'm a mess," Phillips wrote on Facebook on January 5.

But then Jade's parents and doctors noticed something.

Flu causes blindness

When her mother put Jade's favorite stuffed animal -- a white


unicorn -- in front of her face, she didn't look at it.

When she threw a little ball, she didn't watch it as it went up in the air.

An ophthalmologist came in and examined Jade's eyes. Everything looked fine.

The problem wasn't with her eyes. It was with her brain, which had suffered because of the flu.

"It affected the part of her brain that perceives sight, and we don't know if she's going to get her vision back," said Czech, Jade's neurologist. "In about three to six months from now we'll know. Whatever recovery she has at six months, that's likely all she's going to get."

Jade might also have cognitive or developmental problems, such as learning disabilities, Czech added. She said that would be determined in the months and yearsto come.

But considering that Jade arrived at the hospital unresponsive on Christmas Eve, Czech is amazed at her progress.

"I think she's doing fabulous," she said.

Jade's homecoming

Jade went home January 9.

One of the first things she did was touch her sister's face and then pulled her close and cried.

Relieved to have her daughter back home, Phillips wants to get a message to other families about the flu shot.

Last March, when Jade's sister had her annual well visit at the pediatrician, both girls received a flu shot. Phillips says she thought that shot was good for an entire year. She didn't realize she needed to get the girls vaccinated again for the new 2019-2020 flu season.

Since the flu virus changes year to year, the vaccine


also changes. Flu vaccines become available at the end of the summer, and the CDC recommends getting one by the end of October to protect against flu in the upcoming winter.

This year, the flu has been particularly tough on children. That's because the predominant virus has been influenza B, which affects children more than adults. So far, 32 children in the United States have died from flu this season, 21 from the influenza B strain of the virus.

"We want parents to know they should get a flu shot every season," Phillips said.

It's true that the flu vaccine is only about 40-60% effective at preventing the flu, according to the CDC.

But that's not the point, says Dr. Adam Ratner, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Health inin Iowa, Phillips and DeLucia are settling into their new normal with Jade, Phillips writing on Facebook on her daughter's first night home: "My brave girl, who cannot see, but is loved by so many."


house in wanted to kill my husband and me, but less than he wanted to kill everyone else. We got out of his satanic mess alive, but there were coffins and headstones everywhere at the end of it.

The second half was supposed to explain it somehow. He and his sister had been very similar to us (looks and situation, obviously nothing to do with our being a married couple) and while they’d been at a store, some angry white guy had accosted them. The workers there hid them, but he waited for them.

He caught up with them in the parking lot, and mostly picked on the sister. She brushed him off, but in the first part of the dream, someone had said she’d gotten herself killed with aadorable brunette named Meredith, but everyone called her Beth for some reason. Beth was agile and amiable to everyone in the world. No one could not love this girl.

Beth’s other best friend was… er, Matt works. He was a handsome rich guy who came from old money and had the nicest smarthouse. He lived with his boyfriend, and his family thought he was gay, but he was bisexual. He pretended to be gay so that his mother wouldn’t try to set him up with ladies and demand grandchildren. Instead, she did that to his brother, and one of those girls she wanted to marry into the family was Beth.

Matt’s boyfriend, who did not have a name or much “screentime”, was cheating on him. Heather caught him, but kept
