The Know-It-All Party Anti-Euro 'Alternative for Germany' Launches

This weekend, the anti-euro Alternative for Germany party will celebrate its official launch in Berlin. Interest in the group has been growing in recent weeks, but pollsters say its chances of landing seats in the federal parliament this fall are still slim.Asthma heterogeneity and therapeutic options from the clinic to the bench.
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease affecting all races, children and adults. The causative or intrinsic development of asthma is diverse, ranging from episodic exposure to environmental insults to physical induction in exercise. Asthma uniquely manifests in affected individuals as episodes of airway hyper-reactivity, chronic airway obstruction, and inflammation. The diversity in asthmatic phenotypes and the mechanisms that lead to initiation and perpetuation of the lung disease continue to make asthma a challenge to treat, classify, and manage therapeutically. This review will focus on the newest of mechanistic insights into asthma development, therapeutic innovations, and clinical applications.


Sixth Amendment right to confront the witnesses.  Ward, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, policeman during the life of the conspiracy, claimed that he had been working undercover albeit without the approval of his department against the other defendants and that therefore he did not have the criminal intent required.  He testified that he had been in contact during the conspiracy with Special Agent David Hoyt of the DEA's Hartford, Connecticut, office.  Ward had met Hoyt while working on another case, and he claimed at trial that he had kept Hoyt posted on the activities of the other defendants in this case.  In rebuttal, Hoyt testified that he had spoken on the telephone with Ward three times between September 21 and October 10, 1978, but thatWard had reported nothing with respect to this case.

31
Ward was not among those arrested at the Newborn airstrip on October 10.  He kept in touch with Hoyt after the arrests.  His first post-October 10 call to Hoyt was on October 17, and Hoyt, who by then had been told by other DEA agents that Ward was a suspect in a drug conspiracy, tape-recorded the call.  This was the first of Ward's calls that Hoyt recorded.  Hoyt recorded four others between October 17 and November 30, 1978.

32
The district court prevented the attempts by Ward's attorney to cross-examine Hoyt about the recorded calls because certain statements made during the calls implicated the other defendants.  As hearsay, those statements were not admissible at the trial of


with some of the conspirators and about certain critical events in the conspiracy.  The transcripts of the recorded telephone calls raise substantial questions concerning the accuracy of that testimony.  Several times during the calls, Hoyt revealed an awareness of people and events about which he later claimed Ward had not told him.  Further, during the first call made after Ward's arrest, Hoyt told Ward that, as a result of the DEA's acquisition of Ward's telephone records showing that Ward had made several calls to Hoyt, the DEA was investigating Hoyt in connection with the conspiracy.  The jury should have had the advantage of evaluating this evidence so that it properly could have performed one of its most important tasks evaluating the credibility of witnesses.

Between 1881 and the 1920s, the New Zealand Parliament passed legislation that intended to limit Asiatic migration to New Zealand, and prevented Asians from naturalising. In particular, the New Zealand government levied a poll tax on Chinese immigrants up until the 1930s. New Zealand finally abolished the poll tax in 1944. Large numbers of Dalmatians fled from the Austro- Hungarian empire to settle in New Zealand around 1900. They settled mainly in west Auckland and often worked to establish vineyards and orchards or worked on gum fields in Northland.

An influx of Jewish refugees from central Europe came in the 1930s.

The history made in Sunday's Russian Grand Prix can not be overlooked.

Mercedes, it's one of the most prestigious names in the automotive world. The marque is well on its way to securing a 1-2 finish in the World Championship and collecting just their third driver's title in the process.

They won the driver's title in both 1954 and 1955 with the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio at the helm. However, they have never been crowned a Formula One constructor's champion. Part of the reasoning behind that has to be because although the FIA Formula One World Championship officially started in 1950, constructor titles were not awarded until 1958.

Early years

Prior to the existence of F1, Mercedes had enjoyed success in grand prix racing with their Silver


Arrows. During their domination of F1 in 1954 and 1955, anything seemed possible for Mercedes. Tragically, that notion turned out to be horribly true.

During the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most disturbing and horrific accident in motor racing history took place. Pierre Levegh was killed in a crash while driving a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. Following his demise, the wreckage went on to kill over 80 spectators.

Self-imposed ban and return

Mercedes' involvement in motorsports would cease to exist soon after. They slowly released themselves from the self-imposed ban and over half a century later, they made their presence known at the pinnacle of auto racing once more, Formula One.

Two Germans were hired to pilot their cars - Nico Rosberg and seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher. The team earnedjust three podiums that season, all earned by Rosberg. In 2011, they struggled to contend with the leaders.

Slow improvement

2012, their hard work was awarded with a win in the Chinese GP, procured by Rosberg. They moved back into the shadows after that triumph, failing to win another race for the remainder of the year. In 2013, Lewis Hamilton was hired to replace an outgoing Schumacher.

He and Nico proved that Mercedes could be a threat once again, winning three races, including the Monaco GP. Despite their impressive step up in performance, no one could have foreseen what they would do in 2014.

Mercedes conquers once more

16 races have been contested this season and an astonishing 13 of them have been won by Mercedes. They've also started from pole in every


Diplomats and experts are the first to admit that the digital blitz being waged on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube will never be a panacea to combat the jihadists.

But US officials see social media as an increasingly crucial battlefield as they aim to turn young minds in the Muslim world against groups like IS and Al-Qaeda.

For the past 18 months, US officials have targeted dozens of social network accounts linked to Islamic radicals, posting comments, photos and videos and often engaging in tit-for-tat exchanges with those which challenge America.

At the US State Department, employees at the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC), created in 2011, manage an Arabic-language Twitter account set up in 2012, an English-language equivalent and a Facebook page, launched this week.

'Many skirmishes, few battles'

A senior USState Department official described the strategy as a kind of cyber guerrilla campaign.

"It is not a panacea, it is not a silver bullet," the official explained. "People exaggerate, people think this is worthless or they think it a magic thing that will make the extremists surrender. It is neither one of those. It is slow, steady, daily engagement pushing back on a daily basis.

"It is a war of thousands of skirmishes, but no big battles. America likes big battles but it is not -- it is like guerrilla warfare," said the official.

The murder of US journalist James Foley, whose execution by Islamic State militants on August 19 was released in a video on the Internet, jolted the new breed of US cyber-warriors into a frenzy.

Since Foley's murder, the


CSCC has ramped up its Twitter campaign, posting tributes to the slain reporter, opinion pieces and analyses on radical Islam from across the international media, along with cartoons and graphic photos.

The State Department last week tweeted about the death in Syria of Islamic State members, one of whom, Abu Moussa, had recently declared that the group would one day "raise the flag of Allah in the White House."

Another tweet congratulated militant Yazidis who claimed to have killed 22 Islamic State fighters in Iraq.

Another post was more in keeping with the sober diplomatic tone Washington is used to, a photo-montage showing Syria's leader Bashar Al-Assad alongside Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in front of a city in ruins.

"Baghdadi and Assad in a race to destroy Syria - don'tmake it worse," reads a message.

Historic parallels

The US-managed Twitter accounts are also not squeamish about reproducing images distributed by jihadists depicting mass executions, drawing historic parallels between Islamic State militants and the Nazis.

One post showed armed Islamic State fighters standing over a ditch filled with executed people, alongside another almost identical image of Nazis killing people in similar circumstances.

Satire is also used to undermine militants, with one re-tweeted cartoon referring to the "ISIS bucket challenge" featuring a participant named as "the civilized world" being drenched by a bucket of blood.

The US officials say the social media offensive is an attempt to "contest space" on social networks which had previously been dominated by Islamist radicals.

"This is an area, a field, where before we came along the adversaries had this


hit by the vehicle and dies.

The man is blameless, for the accident has happened through no fault of his. In this sense he has nothing to reproach himself for, and has done nothing wrong. And yet, writes Williams, surely this man is now enmeshed in a set of moral responsibilities that, for example, a bystander, who is equally blameless, is not.

It makes a moral difference that it was him at the wheel. As the driver, he might have an obligation to meet the parents or attend the funeral - obligations not incurred by a bystander.

This is one kind of moral luck, or moral unluck.

Rooney, who last week rejoined Everton as Lukaku moved in the opposite direction, told the 24-year-old Belgian that any weakness will be exposed at England's biggest club.

'Playing for Manchester United is a test of character,' said Rooney. 'You've got to be strong enough mentally to accept the challenge. United are a football club that demands success. Romelu has to be strong enough to take up that challenge.

for the early setting of the cementitious mixture.
In general, Galer's rapid setting formulation suffers from several major limitations. These limitations, as highlighted below, are even more of a concern for the production of cementitious products such as cement boards:                The final setting times of the cementitious mixtures are typically greater than 9 minutes. The final setting time is defined further in the examples below, but more generally, the cementitious mixtures have set to the extent that the cement-based products made thereof can be handled and stacked, although chemical reactions may continue for extended periods.        The amount of high alumina cement in the reactive powder blend ischance of that happening however – particuarly in light of the way he struggled in his prior pre-season.

On the farm, however, Backlund should have little competition for a top line scoring role. If he’s truly a future impact player, a point-per-game pace or better is probably the appropriate expectation.

Other players making their debut include defenders John Negrin and Keith Aulie. Both had career seasons in the WHL last season and are well regarded by the organization. Unlike Backlund, however, their development curve will likely be a little more drawn out given their position and where they were chosen in the draft. Still, worth keeping an eye on.

2.) The Heir to the Crease

20 Year old Leland Irving usurped the starters role half way through the season last year and


was the club’s lone AHL all-star, despite not boasting much offense and little PP time. Like Adam Pardy, Palin has become a dark horse in the organization thanks to his persistent and gradual development. At 25 years old he doesn’t have a high ceiling, but may be ahead of some of the younger players.

Pelech was a former first rounder by the club, one who turned into a long-term project partially due to an injury plagued Junior career. A big, mean defender in the Robyn Regehr mold, Pelech was neck-and-neck with Pardy to make the big team out of camp last season before eventually losing out to the older, more established guy. Unfortunately, Pelech went back to the farm and struggled for the first half of the season; hisplus/minus rating was well in the red and he spent a lot of time in the penalty box. Pelech improved in the second half, however, and was rewarded with a 5 game cup of coffee with the parent team where he looked relatively comfortable.

Kronwall is the oldest and most NHL experienced of the 3. He also has the most offensive upside having scored 10 goals and 35 points between the Toronto Marlies and Hershey Bears last season. Depending on organizational goals, Staffan may be the first or last call-up for the Flames – first, if the goal is to have the best/most NHL ready guy in the role. Last if the team would rather use the position to develop a kid who is in the orgs long-term plans


Solar power bankruptcies loom as prices collapse

Slack demand for solar panels combined with falling prices will likely mean many more solar power bankruptcies for the energy sector.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The once high-flying solar power sector is headed for tough times, as a combination of slack demand and massive oversupply is leading to plummeting prices and profits for solar panel makers.

The past year was already grim. The Guggenheim Solar (TAN) exchange-traded fund is down 60% since January and sits even lower than it did following the crash in 2008.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing for solar power. Bachman noted that many young industries go through this phase -- think of all the auto makers at the beginning of the last century or television makers 40 years ago. AsJinkosolar (JKS).

Yet other analysts think it's the Chinese firms that sell unbranded solar panels that will prevail. These firms have often benefited from government support that includes massive low-interest loans.

These companies have also been accused of selling solar panels below cost, most recently in a trade dispute filed with the U.S. Commerce Department on behalf of some publicly traded solar panel makers.

"It has poisoned the profit pool," said Hari Chandra, a cleantech analyst at the investment bank Auriga.

Chandra thinks there's no way the publicly traded firms can compete with the generic Chinese companies, given their backing by the Chinese government.

"You're not competing with Chinese companies," he said. "You're competing with China sovereign."

There they saw two aliens planting a bomb. The couple ran off - Catherine into the path of Straker's car, Tim, she understood to have fallen off a roof and died. However, he was taken by the aliens who took him over and is now back, ...congressional hearing was held at Tougaloo College to address the raids and their aftermath.

U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic Chair of the Homeland Security Committee, held the hearing, in which new information about the raids was revealed.

What we learned at the hearing

About 600 federal agents descended on chicken plants in five Mississippi towns, and Thompson the salaries paid to those agent for the single-day raid cost $487,000 alone.

They arrested 680 people, about half of whom were released within 27 hours on humanitarian grounds.

Jere Miles, the special agent in charge of the New Orleans office of Homeland Security Investigations, was grilled about how ICE handled the raids.

According to Miles, ICE provided 11 phones for the 680 detainees to use on the day of the raid.

The White House released a list of judicial nominees on Tuesday night that President Donald Trump plans to renominate.

The list contains the names of 51 individuals the Trump administration put forward in the last Congress but were not acted upon. During the 115th Congress, Senate Republicans were able to confirm 53 district judges, 30 judges for the court of appeals and two Supreme Court justices. This list of nominees looks to build on the success the Trump administration and Senate Republicans have had when it comes to filling out the judicial branch.

Included in the list of nominees is Neomi J. Rao. She is nominated to be the circuit judge for the District of Columbia Circuit, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's former job. Rao currently serves as the administratorHohenbergiopsis

Hohenbergiopsis is a genus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus name is from the genus Hohenbergia and the Greek opsis (resembling) because it resembles the genus Hohenbergia. It contains only one known species, Hohenbergiopsis guatemalensis, native to Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Guatemala.

few barrels of fuel oil did escape while she was lying at a pier and taking on fuel in Baltimore harbor, but she claimed that this was the result of unavoidable accident within the meaning of the statute and that no penalty had been incurred.  The trial judge so found; and the United States has appealed.

2
The facts are fully set forth in the opinion of the court below, see United States v. The Catherine, 116 F.Supp. 668, and may be briefly stated here.  The Catherine was lying beside a grain elevator pier in Baltimore harbor and was bunkering fuel oil which was being pumped from a barge lying alongside her.  The scuppers had been closed and other usual precautions taken before the pumping began; butafter the double bottom tanks had been filled and the filling of the afterpeak tank had begun, it was discovered that oil was spilling on the deck.  This occurred because a rag had been caught in the valve which closed the line leading to one of the tanks which had been filled, with the result that the complete closing of the valve was prevented and oil was allowed to escape therefrom.  When the situation was discovered, the pumping was immediately stopped and everything was done that could reasonably have been done to prevent the oil from going overboard into the harbor.  According to the government's witnesses, not over three to five barrels went overboard.

The facts with respect to the presence and discovery of the rag


are thus correctly stated in the brief of counsel for the United States:

4
'When the chief engineer went below he examined the valve on the line leading to the number 5 fuel tank.  He testified that the night engineer had closed it with a wrench on the order to secure the tank.  However, upon taking the valve apart the chief engineer found a rag jammed down between the valve seat and the valve disk.  The rag was not visible from the outside and the night engineer apparently thought he had closed the valve.  However, the rag had prevented complete closure.  The afterpeak tank is about six feet higher than the double bottom tanks, and the chief engineer used a pressure of 65 to 75perfectly clear that, with the burden upon the vessel to negative negligence in the escape of the oil and establish that such escape was due to unavoidable accident, the burden has been met and unavoidable accident established.

On to the affirmation, Kenny has been involved in a couple of incidents at school this week. As best I can tell, the first incident somehow involved a group of 2nd grade boys of which Kenny was one, rocks in someone's pants and a show in a toilet. Hmmm...if you are confused now, then we are in this together. Try hard listening to that being explained in broken English and not laugh out loud! Whatever occured, the principal was the one who stumbled upon this scene and handled it very well. Today Kenny's teacher asked to speak with me as Kenny had a little trouble on the playground this afternoon pulling on others kids jackets and choking them because he wasrunning interference with a couple of kids who were picking on one of his friends.

Sooo...I decided it was time to have a quick sit down with the Principal and make a statement in front of Kenny. We walked down to the office and asked to meet with him briefly, and I could tell Kenny was nervous. Mr. B is a GREAT principal and has been very supportie of our family in many ways. I asked him to explain what had happened earlier in the week, and he said he was very proud of Kenny because he was the only one of the group of boys who admitted immediately that they all were involved in the shoe somehow ending up in the toilet on accident, and that all the


was obvious he was nervous as he was very clingy with me the entire morning before the appointment, and Matthew...while a very affectionate and "huggy" little guy with me...is not in the least clingy. Once we were in the middle of the examination he became more relaxed. The MD determined that it was not joint related, but was most likely related to his malnutrition in infancy, and the X-Ray showed that his tibia actually had a bit of a curve to it. When we arrived home Matthew weighed a mere 14 lbs and was in the beginning stages of rickets. Contrast that with the 8 year old boy whom the MD said quietly to us was likely one of the strongest she had ever seen at his age,and it seems a long time ago that the tiny, spindly little boy was in my arms. She was actually stunned at how well developed his leg muscles were, and overall how muscular his body was. He has always been that way, and even his pediatrician when he was only about 15 months old said that he had never seen a little boy who already had a sturdy little V-Shape going on with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. We were advised to get him some expensive, well built shoes and keep him in them...no more Walmart cheapies, and to come back again in 10 months for a recheck. He is on the borderline of needing medical intervention and she wants to see if the problem worsens over


I could tell he was near tears. He and I were alone in the bedroom to keep the confusion down for the call, and I scooped him up in my arms so we could talk about this call and it's affects.

I asked him what he was feeling and he said "I miss my brothers, I sad they so far away.", he then started crying as he also shared that he was very sad that one more friend whom we talked about on the call has not yet found his family and Kenny said he knew he must be lonely. We talked about the concrete things we could do about this, that we could send a letter and pictures to his friend who was left behind, that we couldto control everything, to run the show. This is part personality, as he has obvious very strong leadership qualities, and part history as he was used to telling many of the younger kids what to do as he has explained that he "took care of them" often at the orphanage. It has required us to be very consistent in reminding him that he is NOT the mommy or daddy, and that he is NOT in charge. A few times it has led to some real head banging moments but most often it has only taken us reminding him and he has backed off.

Recently though, we have had a problem with him lying about little things to keep himself out of trouble. Unfortunately for him, "Momma's in da House"


"Oh yes Mom, I don't want you to walk out here and fall down.". He has a terrific heart and with consistancy, patience and love...and perhaps a little creativity...we will nip this in the bud and be able to have the kind of trustworthy son we know he is capable of being.

In other Kenny news, he had his palate spreader "installed" yesterday, which will spread his upper jaw to match his lower jaw, and will then allow us to move forward with his first surgery to close the fistula, or hole, in his palate. For the uninitiated, the palate spreader is essentially a metal bar across the roof of his mouth that can be opened gradually with a key-like device and it will slowly spread his upper jawour final destination. We stood in line along with the many grieving family members and friends, and as we came to the podium where the guest book awaited our signature I had a very hard time holding it together when there, sitting right next to the book, was the Christmas ornament this little boy had made in Cub Scouts a mere 4 weeks earlier, his name and the year emblazoned across it. Oh, if time could only be turned back. Who would have ever guessed it would be his last Christmas?

The service was lovely, a wonderful way to remember a special little boy. I found myself quietly crying throughout, my arms wrapped tightly around Matthew as if I could ever truly protect him from something as tragic as

It was in a chance meeting at an airport in India with Xavier Gravende-Tirole (Jesus look alike?) that I learnt about Spiritual Creolization - how religions absorb from each other and manage pluralism. Xavier is traveling in India studying the absorption of Hindu rituals in Christianity for his Phd thesis 'Creolization as a new theological category in the anthropology of believing: study inspired by Hindu-Christian cases' at the Trudeau Foundation in Geneva.

"His dissertation explores how creolization can become fertile theological grounds for examining identity, relationships with the other and religious pluralism. Managing pluralism may be one of the greatest challenges for religions today – both within religions themselves and in their relations with other religions – but the many types of creolized religions that arisethat sports culture may reinforce subtle messages about the causes and remedies" of our pressing social problems.

The 1,051 participants completed an online survey in November of 2016. They were asked whether they considered themselves a fan of, or closely followed, "professional or collegiate football, basketball, baseball, or another sport." For each sport they followed, they indicated how often they watched or listened to games, and whether they engaged in six fan-related behaviors, including wearing team clothing.

They also answered questions about their political attitudes, including their endorsement of traditional gender roles, support for the military, and which factors they considered most important to a person's "ability to improve themselves financially and get ahead in life." Strong beliefs in the importance of "ambition, hard work, and good money-management skills" reflected

In return, they receive extra food, a few more weeks of life, and unimaginable shame. Against the out-of-focus images of furnaces and corpses Saul finds a boy who briefly survives gassing and he becomes obsessed with finding a Rabbi to perform a dignified burial for the body he calls son.

When Ed and Lorraine Warren go away on business, they need someone to babysit their daughter Judy, played perfectly by Mckenna Grace. The terror and fear she expresses on her face and throughout the film is simply off the charts. Judy has a hard time making friends because people think her parents are strange and a little off-kilter because of their profession. They are Demonologists. If you are new to this franchise, Ed and Lorraine Warren are real. As a matter of fact, Lorraine recently passed away, unfortunately. They are played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, and since the two of them have been playing the couple for so long, their


chemistry and timing is just about flawless.

Sadly, they only show up at the start of the film, and they don’t reappear until the end of it. When they are on screen, the film is really taken up a notch. There is good news, though, and it is those two terrific actresses Madison Iseman and Katie Sarife who play the babysitter, Mary Ellen, and her best friend Daniela. When you throw in Grace, you have three young leads who carry the movie throughout its running time. There is also a love interest named Bob (Michael Cimino) with great comedic timing and a running gag about his name. They are the ones stuck dealing with Annabelle when she gets released from her glass case.

Now, a lot of people have aproblem with films which have jump scares. There are a few jump scares in this flick, but they are really built up by the suspense and pacing which is set by director Gary Dauberman. This is his first time behind the camera as a director, and he shows a sure hand in setting the mood. The set design is also terrific along with the costume design, as the 1970’s look is spot-on throughout the film. It is easy to see they spent a lot of time working on getting the little details right as it shows in the final product. Dauberman has also written “It Chapter 2,” “Annabelle,” “Annabelle: Creation,” and he was one of the writers on the first “It” in 2017. He knows the horror genre,


being too cheesy. They talk about how they love being able to play the scary scenes along with the family drama as well. It’s a good balance.

Seven Deleted Scenes (11:28): Seven deleted scenes are added here, including an alternate ending. I thought the running time of the film was just right, and the filmmakers hit all of the right notes. Most of the deleted scenes are just more time spent with the characters which is fine, but it is not really necessary in the big picture of the film. However, there is one particular scene where Mary Ellen opens up about a near-death experience that is very powerful and should have been used in the film. The alternate ending is nowhere near as good as the one inyanked the Beauregard statue from its perch and lowered it to a truck as scattered cheers broke out.

As China grows more powerful and influential, our New Superpower series looks at what this means for the world – how China maintains its power, how it wields its power and how its power might be threatened. Read the rest of the series here.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping took power as head of the Chinese Communist Party – the most important position in China – in late 2012. Today, nearly seven years on, he is one of the most recognisable figures on the world stage.

Yet, while he already commands the destiny of some 1.4 billion Chinese people, and seeks to shape, in his words, “a common future for mankind”, he remains an enigmatic leader.

In a short period of time, Xi has concentrated power to himself and established a remarkablyinfluential role, nearly unprecedented among Chinese leaders since 1949.

Yet, while he is certainly powerful, he is also vulnerable. He faces massive challenges on the grandest of scales: a simmering trade war with the US, slowing economic growth, increasing concern among China’s neighbours about his more assertive use of the country’s economic and military might.

Given these enormous internal and external challenges, the biggest question for Xi is how he will maintain his absolute grip on power and legitimacy in the eyes of the Chinese people.

He has promised them a better life in a stronger and more prosperous China. And he has gone a long way to deliver on those promises. But many challenges loom ahead.

From princeling to party leader

This year, the People’s Republic of China turns 70. And Xi,


Commons

When the Cultural Revolution descended on China in the late 1960s, the younger Xi was sent to the countryside. He spent seven formative years – from age 15 to 22 – in rural Shaanxi province, working with the local peasantry.

By 1979, when Deng Xiaoping launched China on its historic reform drive, Xi embarked on his own fast track to the top. Over the next 30 years, he ascended through party and government ranks, serving in increasingly senior postings, mostly in the rapidly growing eastern provinces of China.

In early 2007, he became the party chief of Shanghai, but was only in that post for seven months before he was elevated to the Politburo Standing Committee, making him one of the nine most powerful men in China. Five years later,he was installed as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and, the following year, became China’s president.

In those 60 years, Xi experienced China’s own coming of age, from its early struggles with nation-building, to the depths of Maoist excess, to its spectacular rise to great power status.

This life experience has made him what he is today: a confident risk-taker who remains insistent on the communist party’s indispensable role in the country’s success and tenaciously focused on achieving China’s expansive national ambitions.

Surveillance, crackdowns and absolute power

Once in power, Xi moved to solidify his position. He saw weakness at the heart of the party, owing to lax ideological discipline and pervasive corruption. And so he launched attacks


the inclusion of “Xi Jinping Thought” into the party’s constitution to guide the country into a “new era” of national rejuvenation. He also saw to the removal of term limits on his presidency, in effect allowing him to stay in power for life.

Xi has been equally bold as a leader on the international stage, setting out an extremely ambitious foreign policy agenda.

His record includes launching the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, asserting Chinese claims in the South China Sea via massive land reclamation projects and an expanding military footprint, and, boldest of all, the Belt and Road Initiative, a geopolitical play connecting China through trade, investment and infrastructure across Eurasia and beyond.

Richard Carmona is running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona. He is a trauma surgeon and former U.S. Surgeon General. For better or worse, he has been a fixture in Arizona health care for decades.

Davuluri appeals both his convictions and his sentence. He attacks Counts I-IV by claiming that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he formed the specific intent to defraud Dr. Raju. He contends that the Count V conviction is invalid because he did not obtain Dr. Raju's check by fraud and the check was valueless. In the alternative, Davuluri claims the district court erred in imposing the abuse of a position of trust sentencing enhancement because he didgymnastics (local teams often with public support), day centers where elderly is screened and appointed to, or rehabilitation normally after operations or hospitalization.

Director Woody Allen faces reporters briefly in New York, June 7, 1993, following a judge's ruling ending his attempt to gain custody of children Moses, Dylan and Satchel. The ruling followed a bitter custody battle with former lover actress Mia Farrow. Michael Albans/AP

Allen, 78, lays out his side of the story in the column, writing that he had found the claims by longtime partner Mia Farrow that he had molested their then 7-year-old adopted daughter "ludicrous" from the beginning and saying that Farrow was vindictive.

"After all, I was a 56-year-old man who had never before (or after) been accused of child molestation. Now, suddenly, when I had driven up to her house in Connecticut one afternoon to visit the kids for a few hours, when I wouldbe on my raging adversary’s home turf, with half a dozen people present, when I was in the blissful early stages of a happy new relationship with the woman I’d go on to marry — that I would pick this moment in time to embark on a career as a child molester should seem to the most skeptical mind highly unlikely."

Allen cites Yale's Child Sexual Abuse Clinic, who investigated and decided that Allen had not abused Dylan, writing that she either was "an emotionally vulnerable child who was caught up in a disturbed family and who was responding to the stresses in the family" or "was coached or influenced by her mother."

He also writes that he believes the custody judge's ruling saying that "we will probably never know


what occurred" was "irresponsible" and that the judge was hard on Allen largely due to his relationship with Mia Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi.

Mia Farrow's adopted son Moses Farrow's interview in the new issue of People Magazine is quoted by Allen: "Of course Woody did not molest my sister," Moses is quoted as saying in People. "My mother drummed it into me to hate my father for tearing apart the family and sexually molesting my sister."no pun intended, these disasters are hardly put into effect within a timely manner.

In 2005, the failure of city, state, and federal government was all-too real for the people of New Orleans and several other Gulf-coast towns after Hurricane Katrina. Third-world-like conditions made the people of America sick to their stomach; bodies rotting in the street, lack of evacuation, lack of food and water for weeks at a time, and the list goes on. These people were displaced, yes. But who is displaced today?

For the first time a dollar-figure value of the at-threat Great Barrier Reef has been revealed with new research showing the 2300-kilometre reef is too big to fail.

A Deloitte Access Economics report to be released at Hamilton Island on Monday calculated the reef was worth $56 billion.

The 90-page report also gauged how Australians and international visitors valued the Great Barrier Reef with two thirds of the 1500 respondents saying they were willing to pay to protect it.

Almost three quarters of Australians and over half the international respondents named the reef as the iconic Australian UNESCO World Heritage natural site.At the dinner to benefit Syrian refugees, there aren't enough seats for the Syrians. The room at the Boo Cat Club is packed, and Jessica Bueler is flitting around, managing the event, making sure the crowd of mostly white St. Louis women is enjoying the food. A young Syrian boy stops her and quietly asks where he's allowed to sit.

"Anywhere," Bueler says, smiling, continuing on.

The boy walks back to where his family of five is standing pinned against the side wall of the event, and whispers something to his dad. His dad looks as if he were told to sit in every seat at the same time. Bueler catches this and zips over, leading the family to a central table where she asks spread-out diners to scooch together.

This


is Bueler's thirteenth Supper Club dinner, in which she invites St. Louisans to pay $25 for the chance to eat home-cooked Syrian food and meet a few of the 68 Syrian refugee families that have been resettled in St. Louis since 2014. Six of them cooked this evening, and all the night's proceeds will go to them.

In 2016, Bueler founded the grassroots organization Welcome Neighbor STL after she was horrified by an RFT story detailing the beating of teenage Syrians in north city, and she's been rallying St. Louisans to provide support for refugees ever since. Playing the role of pep-rally leader, she uses loud and ESL-friendly language to introduce the audience to the evening's cooks, who announce what they've cooked — shawarma, kibbeh, fattoush, tabouleh, hummus —with olive oil and za'atar, olives, makdous, labneh and Arabic coffee set on a tablecloth on the floor.

Apparently still shocked by the violence they've witnessed in north city, the group ticks off a list of what they've experienced collectively at the Garden Apartments in the last two years: the beating of their teenagers, a holdup at gunpoint, two cars smashed in by baseball bats, a chilling attempted kidnapping of one of their daughters, a rock thrown through their living-room window, kids hit with baseball bats, a stolen bicycle, a man creeping around with a stocking mask on (two weeks ago), men breaking into their living room wielding a Taser (one week ago). The wives stay awake until their husbands get home, sometimes as late as 2 a.m. They've


county. The mosque paid to help with families' leases for one year, while Welcome Neighbor STL raised $15,000, providing $1,000 to each moving family to help subsidize the new residences. Only three remain. The money is there, Bueler says; the complication is a matter of rehoming large families with several children. After getting the Syrians out, Bueler says she wants to focus on Somalian families living at the Garden Apartments, who are also facing violence.

Until mounting back rent forced her to shutter in March, Bueler owned HSB Tobacconist on the Loop; her father founded the business in 1972. Although she founded Welcome Neighbor STL long before closing HSB, the vacuum that followed the tobacco store's closure has shifted Welcome Neighbor STL into overdrive, for the Syrians at Hodiamontand beyond. Bueler recently designed curricula for twice-weekly English lessons for eighteen Syrians at Grace United Methodist Church, organizing pickup, dropoff and daycare services for mothers. The Supper Club she founded has also exploded; Welcome Neighbor STL has received so many recent requests that they've had to put a temporary hold on reserving the cooks.

Bueler stepping in with Welcome Neighbor STL has been a lifeline for the families still at Hodiamont. But the situation continues to rankle. What has been discouraging, Ammar says, is that their section of the apartment complex was where all the incidents occurred, and yet they have been the ones who've proven too difficult to rehome quickly. "We've become part of the past tense now," he says. "People and the media have forgotten about


The handgun used to kill an Omaha, Nebraska, police officer in May has been traced to the same pawn shop that sold the gun used to kill two NYPD officers in 2014, an indictment has revealed.

According to a June 30 filing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, a straw purchaser named Jalita Johnson purchased a 9 mm Glock pistol, a 50-round drum magazine, and ammunition at Arrowhead Pawn Shop in Jonesboro, Georgia, on April 23 for her boyfriend, Marcus Wheeler. On May 20, Wheeler, who was wanted for another shooting, engaged Omaha police in a shootout. Officer Kerrie Orozco, 29, who was a day away from her maternity leave, was killed.

Last December, the silver Taurus semiautomatic handgun used to kill NYPD officers WenjianLiu and Rafael Ramos as they sat in a squad car in Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn was traced back to Arrowhead, which was named the top source of out-of-state crime guns recovered by the NYPD in 2010. That same year, The Washington Post ranked Arrowhead fifth on a list of gun dealers with the most crime gun traces over the previous four years, clocking in at 1,720.

Four days after the NYPD murders – and four months before Johnson’s straw purchase – The New York Times traveled to Jonesboro to profile Arrowhead:

Speaking about Arrowhead, a former federal law enforcement official who carried out gun investigations in the South said: “They were like a Crazy Eddie of gun dealers. They had a lot of volume and they did a lot


Pierce's hard-nosed running style and production have triggered approval from the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, hearkening comparisons from Lewis to how running back Jamal Lewis once impacted the Ravens' Super Bowl championship squad during his rookie season.

"We had a young rookie running back who was pretty good to take us to the Super Bowl," Lewis recalled. "And we have another young rookie running back who is pretty good himself to take us to the Super Bowl."

Pierce has contributed 169 rushing yards in three playoff games, averaging 6.3 yards per carry despite a bone bruise in his right knee. He gained a game-high 103 yards during an AFC wild-card win over the Indianapolis Colts and led the Ravens with 52 rushing yards on nine carries inunharvested by the owner. It is for those who work his land for him. Gleaning was a significant part of the income of peasants and villagers in England in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was highly regulated and timed with bells being rung for the entry and exit of gleaners.

According to reports, 30 to 40% of American food is wasted. It is estimated that more than 60.3 billion kilograms of that could have been eaten by someone. In Britain that statistic is 10 million tons. Thrown out by households! Considering the millions of “food insecure” people in the world many organisations send volunteers — or gleaners — into the fields and farms of neighbours to pick up the left-behind produce for people in need and local charities.

Trump has steadfastly refused to release his tax returns, saying his lawyers won't allow it because he is under an IRS audit. During the campaign, he promised to release the returns once the audit is finished, but he has since backtracked on that pledge.

Several states have now joined the effort to get the returns released, as NPR's Joel Rose reported:

"Trump is the first president in 40 years not to release any of his tax returns during the campaign. Now lawmakers in dozens of states have introduced bills that would force him to do so. Several of these bills go by the name Tax Returns Uniformly Made Public, or TRUMP Act."

But Sheppard says that as a real estate developer, Trump gets much of his income through partnerships. While he is required to reveal the name of the entity and how much money he receives from it, he doesn't have to name the other partners, whose identities may be obscured behind shell corporations and offshore subsidiaries.

He also may have sizable non-recourse debt, loans that are backed not by Trump himself but by the real estate projects his partnership is developing. Trump is required to say how much interest he pays on the debt incurred, but not how much he owes or who lent him the money, Sheppard says.

Highway construction and the Chisana Gold Rush.

I left Beaver Creek around 1:30pm after a heartfelt goodbye. The road towards the Alaskan border at the 141st meridian was flat and boring, but I could see distant thunderstorms – two of them – closing in. They reminded me of those I had frequently come across while crossing the prairies the previous summer, those milky blue-gray voids perched uneasily on the horizon.

The sum total of their fury amounted to a few drips across my back as I arrived at the border to Alaska. At first glance, the 60ft wide clearing of trees that extends seemingly indefinitely to the north and south, marking the 141st meridian and the border between the USA and Canada, might seem needless, even reckless. However, when comparedwas not far off, so conversations never lasted long.

The TotW Highway was an incredibly challenging yet memorable experience. The highway curved around hilltop after hilltop, revealing expansive vistas to the north, south, and sometimes both at the same time. Frequently, I could make out the thin, unpaved road snaking its way along impossibly distant features. The perspective was so foreign that I often saw hills so far into the distance that their grades appeared impossible to climb due the perspective compression. It was a little unnerving, but they usually turned out to be quite manageable.

Near the halfway point of the day, I summited a completely ridiculous hill, well over 10% and covered in loose gravel. My cadence dropped into the single digits as I mentally grouped pedal rotations

I had dinner with a friend whom I had met on the Taylor Highway two days earlier, and while we were scarfing down some excellent food, the rain started coming down in buckets commanding the attention of everyone inside. Locals told me that this constant rain was highly atypical for what is normally an arid climate.

I ended up hanging around the tourism centre for its wifi hotspot so long that I missed the business hours of a highly recommended nearby hostel. Luckily, my friend had a campsite in the nearby campground that he had offered to share, so I scooted over and set up my gear in the pitch black nearly on autopilot.

the air supply to the individual engine cylinders and the exhaust system. In this case, the gases move in the above-mentioned pipes with pressure fluctuations whose magnitude and direction is determined by the engine operation. These pressure fluctuations of the gases are the cause of gas-dynamic and acoustic phenomena which under certain conditions may have a negative influence on the engine operation. In particular, the volumes of the pipes determine the sound radiation which is generated by the parts which connect the gas pipes with the outside air, such as the inlet opening of the air intake of the air purifier or the outlet opening of the exhaust pipes. The same reasons cause a discontinuity of the gas flows in the pipes of the pollutant reducing system whichwith the intake connection of the chamber, a noise reduction is essentially achieved, in which case a significant reduction of the emission of pollutants is achieved as a result of this pipe, in connection with a connection piece which branches off a pollutant reducing system and which also leads into the interior of the chamber or of the pipe.
For this purpose, the mouth opening of the connection piece is arranged at a defined distance from the center of gravity of the interior volume of the chamber of the intake system.
Advantageously, the connection piece may also have an oblique mouth opening which causes an increased mixing of the flows from the pollutant reducing system and from the intake connection.
A contraction of the pipe in the manner of a diffuser


in the area of the entering of the pipe connection into the intake pipe causes, in the area of the contraction, an increase of the flow velocity of the gas flow from the intake connection, whereby an additional gas flow from the pollutant reducing system is generated and a mixing effect is caused.

The early chapters cover the period of Anglo-Saxon history before William arrives. Here we meet Aethelred the Unready, Queen of Emma of Normandy, King Cnut, Harthacnut and Harold Harefoot, Edward the Confessor, Queen Edith of Wessex and the powerful Earl Godwine and King Harold. These historical characters are so compelling I just can’t read enough about them. Morris sets up the scene here for the big battle.

My search for William’s preparation plans has been fulfilled. Morris goes into great detail on how William persuaded the Pope to back his mission, how he gathered an army of followers with promises of great rewards, his search for a naval flotilla to take the army to England and how he provisioned the troops. Morris also describes how King Harold kept


vigil awaiting the invasion, then stood down only being forced to gather his army again to fight against an invasion by King Harald Hardrada of Norway and his own brother Tostig Godwineson. Three weeks later William invaded and King Harold was defeated at the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066.

Based on what little information there is on Hastings, Morris does an excellent job of describing the battle itself. The rest of the book recounts the reign of the Conqueror and how it affected England on a political and social level. Morris tells of the rebellions William had to suppress in England and in Normandy along with the dysfunctional dynamics of his own family.

Howrah and Hooghly districts mark the Kaali Puja with the prayer of Agambagish, believed to be the most revered priest of Kaali Ma, the fierce form of Durga. They pray in mortuaries, sit in circles and surround themselvesUkraine Launches Military Operation Against Separatists In The East

Ukrainian forces have launched what appears to be a major operation to rout pro-Russia forces from occupied government buildings in the country's east. Two helicopters were shot down by separatists, killing the pilots, both sides report.

The move is being described by Ukraine as an "anti-terror" operation in the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk region.

The Kremlin said Friday that Kiev's actions have "killed the last hope" for a deal to diffuse the crisis, which was agreed on last month in Geneva. President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov also described Ukraine's operation as "punitive," the BBC reports.

NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, reporting from near Kramatorsk in Ukraine's east, says pro-Russia gunmen stationed at a checkpoint leading to Slovyansk appear


"very nervous."

"They definitely fear this is not limited to Slovyansk," Soraya tells Morning Edition.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a statement that the "active phase" of the operation began at 04:30 local time.

"A real battle with professional mercenaries is going on," Avakov said, adding that Interior Ministry troops and the National Guard were involved.

Russia's state-run Rossiya 24 TV channel said the city was being "stormed," according to the BBC.

Stella Khorosheva, a spokeswoman for the pro-Russia militants, said one of their men was killed and another injured. She offered no further details, according to The Associated Press. Another spokesman for the separatists said fighting had broken out at several points around the city and that government armored vehicles were seen on roads leading into Slovyansk.

Avakov said on hisMorning Edition, Gen. Philip Breedlove, NATO's supreme allied commander for Europe, acknowledges that the Kremlin has used the same tactic in eastern Ukraine that it employed in the annexation of the territory of Crimea earlier this year.

In Crimea, he says, "shadow figures" took ground and then were replaced by "locals" to hold the gains and present the appearance of an indigenous uprising.

"I think they realized how quickly we were able to see through the false narrative" in Crimea, Breedlove tells Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep. In Ukraine, he says, "they've been much quicker to put a local face on the action."

In response to the downing of the two helicopters, Breedlove says it's not clear whether Russian forces or Russian-supplied weapons were involved. "It surely is an easy step

Street Realty Trust is managed by two brothers, David Depietri ("David") and Robert Depietri ("Robert"). David is the trustee of 219 Forest Street Realty Trust of which 219 Forest Street LLC, a Massachusetts Limited Liability Company, is the sole beneficiary. At its inception, David and Kimberly Depietri ("Kimberly") each owned 50% of 219 Forest. Robert has never owned an interest in 219 Forest, but he makes all of its major business decisions.
201 Forest is an entity that owns two office buildings with approximately 79,000 square feet of rentable space adjacent to the 219 Forest Property. David is the trustee of 201 Forest Street Realty Trust of which 201 Forest Street LLC, a Massachusetts Limited Liability Company, is the sole beneficiary. David is the authorized agent of 201 Forestto lending under the March Note, Mallegni required Robert and Rosewood Management Corporation, a real estate management and development company with which Robert is affiliated,[12] to assign to LBM reimbursements due to Robert and Rosewood Management Corporation from an entity known as Cranston Commons LLC (the "Cranston Commons Assignment"). Rosewood Management Corporation and Cranston Commons LLC are not parties to this litigation. The March Agreement executed by Mallegni and 219 Forest provides that this assignment was made to "secure the payment" of the money lent by LBM under the March Note. See Pls.' Agreed Ex. 18, ¶¶ 9-10. In addition, William, who was a 50% participant in the March Note, testified that it was agreed that monies received from the Cranston Commons Assignment would be applied to the


2008, p. 67-69.[13] When questioned further as to who this "someone" was, Alden testified that "I think it probably would have been Bobby Depietri." See id. pp. 67-68. Robert testified that he never instructed Alden to re-apply the payment. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 146. The Court finds that no such authority from Robert was given. See infra Section II. C. The June 17th payment was the last payment that LBM received on account of the March Note.

G. The First Essex Financing Proposal

As the end of 2001 approached, 219 Forest sent packages to financial institutions to solicit construction loans for the development of the 219 Forest Property. First Essex Bank ("First Essex") expressed interest and issued a commitment letter in March or April of 2002.[14] During thisCommerce Note was extended a second time to August 31, 2002.

H. The December Note and the 201 Forest Guaranty

The Commerce Note was not paid on August 31, 2002. Pursuant to the repurchase agreement, Mallegni purchased the Commerce Note from Commerce on November 27, 2002. See Joint Pretrial Mem., § G., ¶ 36; Pls.' Agreed Ex. 23. On multiple occasions, Mallegni told Robert that Commerce wanted to be repaid by end of the year. Specifically, Mallegni told Robert that 219 Forest needed to get the Commerce Note "paid off before the end of the year because [Commerce] wanted it off their books." See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 150. Robert also testified that Commerce's attorneys were sending letters that expressed the urgency to have the Commerce Note paid off


by the end of the year. Id. Mallegni represented that he could arrange a loan through LBM to pay off the Commerce Note. On December 4, 2002, 219 Forest obtained a loan from LBM in the amount of $1,733,632 (the "December Note"). See Pls.' Agreed Ex. 27. The proceeds of the December Note were used to pay off the Commerce Note. At the closing, Mallegni again told Robert that Commerce needed to be repaid by the end of the year, and failed to disclose the fact that he had already purchased the *561 Commerce Note on November 27, 2002. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 151-152; see infra Section II. D. 1. As 219 Forest was laboring under the misimpression, created by Mallegni, that Commerce needed to be19, 2003, Mallegni, Robert, and David met and 219 Forest proposed an extension of the loan for one year on its existing terms in exchange for a one-point extension fee. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 157. Mallegni said he wanted to go back to his office and talk to LBM's attorney, Michael Norris ("Norris"), about it. Robert contacted Mallegni two times over a period of approximately three weeks after the meeting because he had not heard anything about the status of the extension. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 159. On one occasion, Mallegni told Robert not to worry about it because Norris was very busy. Id. On January 12, 2004, Robert sent a proposed extension agreement to LBM, which, according to Robert, incorporated the terms discussed


December Note after February 20, 2006.

K. Attempts to Refinance with National City

In early 2005, 219 Forest applied for construction loans and began to market units of the proposed building for sale as office condominiums. On September 27, 2005, 219 Forest obtained a construction loan proposal from National City Bank ("National City"). See Pls.' Ex. CC. A portion of the National City proceeds was intended to pay off the December and March Notes in full. Robert and David sent the proposal to Mallegni as 219 Forest needed the prior approval of its 40% owner, Wolfpen, before it could obtain financing. See Tr. Nov. 5, 2008, pp. 119, 204; Nov. 7, 2008, p. 19. Mallegni appeared interested and did not object its terms. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 180("Are they willing to do it?"). David signed the proposal and returned it to National City with a $10,000 deposit. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, pp. 181-182. Pursuant to National City's requirements, 219 Forest obtained appraisals (presumably at some cost) of the 219 Forest Property. In early November, Robert told Mallegni that he planned to move forward with the National City refinancing and that 219 Forest needed payoff figures for the March and December Notes. On November 15, 2005, Robert sent a letter to Mallegni requesting written payoff figures for the December and March Notes. See Pls.' Agreed Ex. 40; Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, pp. 188-189. Mallegni *564 failed to respond to Robert's letter with written payoff figures. At one point, Mallegni verbally told Robert that the payoff


several years and owns at least one lending entity. Mallegni never explained, but the Court suspects the reason for Mallegni's refusal to provide 219 Forest with accurate written payoffs was that LBM had pledged the December Note to Danvers Bank. See infra Section II. E. 3. Mallegni's intentional failure to provide 219 Forest with written pay off figures was his final, but yet another, successful creation of an obstruction to 219 Forest's financing options and may have very well sealed 219 Forest's financial fate.

L. The Bankruptcy Filings

What had started out as a seemingly typical lending relationship between 219 Forest and Wolfpen in 1998 gradually transformed into a situation where Mallegni and LBM garnered more and more control over 219 Forest and other entities, including obtaining the 40% ownershipin 219 Forest, the assignment of Rosewood Management's right to reimbursements from the Cranston Commons, the mortgage on the 201 Forest Property, and ultimately dominated 219 Forest's decision making process culminated by Mallegni's overt refusal to provide 219 Forest with the payoff figures necessary to move forward with its prospective financing with National City. This oppressive situation reached its nadir on May 19, 2007 and June 19, 2007 when 219 Forest and 201 Forest respectively filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Court allowed 219 Forest's motion for the joint administration of its case with 201 Forest's case on July 7, 2007. See 219 Forest LLC, Case No. 07-41768, Docket # 48.
LBM filed proofs of claims, signed by Mallegni, in both cases. The proof


F. First, Alden could not recall who gave her this instruction. At trial she testified that it was "probably" Robert who instructed her to re-apply the payment, but at her deposition she could not recall who gave her the instruction. See Tr., Nov. 4, 2008, pp. 67-68. Second, Alden could not remember when she received the instruction, or whether she received the instruction in writing or in a phone call. See id. pp. 68-69. Even if the Court were to believe that "someone" on behalf of 219 Forest had instructed Alden to re-apply the payment, which it does not, not only did the re-application contravene the agreement between 219 Forest and LBM, it also breached the rights of William, a 50% participant in the March Note. William testifiedextension on the release of Norris from his lease, a $600,000 obligation, that Norris had with 65 Boston Post Realty Trust, an entity in which 219 Forest has no interest and is, at most, only indirectly affiliated. Unrelated third parties owned the majority of 65 Boston Post Realty Trust's real estate. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 175.
Norris testified that Mallegni approached him and asked him to become a tenant in a building that Mallegni was going to purchase on Locke Drive in Marlborough because they were having regular, frequent meetings and being across town from his attorney was too inconvenient. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 42. Norris testified that he told Mallegni that he could not *575 become a tenant in the building unless he was


remaining factors was robust. There was common ownership among the two entities as Mallegni owned 50% of Wolfpen and 96% of LBM. In reality, Mallegni acted as if he were the 100% owner of Wolfpen as William was a "silent partner" that had no apparent involvement in Wolfpen's day to day operations and amazingly no knowledge of Wolfpen's 40% ownership interest in brother David's entity, 219 Forest. Moreover, Robert and David did not seem to know that William owned 50% of Wolfpen. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, pp. 109-110; Tr., Nov. 7, 2008, pp. 65, 78, 80. Mallegni had unrestrained control over both Wolfpen and LBM. On at least one occasion, Mallegni utilized his control over Wolfpen for the benefit of LBM when he threatened to exercise Wolfpen'sveto power if 219 Forest did not agree to the $907,518 payoff figure for the Wolfpen Note. This threat benefitted LBM because 219 Forest borrowed from LBM to satisfy a portion of that figure. See supra Section I. E. Mallegni's control over Wolfpen and LBM was omnipresent: he used Wolfpen's veto power to block the First Essex financing, he made substantial loans to 219 Forest through LBM, he attempted to add the lease release as a condition to an extension of one of LBM's loans, and he refused to provide 219 Forest with payoff figures for the LBM loans. Mallegni proudly testified that it was he, and only he, that made all of LBM's major business decisions, and Mallegni solely negotiated the loans that Wolfpen made to 219


fee and a 40% interest in 219 Forest when the August Note was refinanced and Mallegni's fabrication of the amount purportedly owed on the Wolfpen Note when it was refinanced with Commerce. These actions allegedly took place in September of 1999 and March of 2001 and are thus outside 93A's four-year statute of limitations. 219 Forest also points to Mallegni's refusal to agree to refinance the Commerce Note with First Essex. This allegedly took place sometime between March and May of 2002 and is also outside the four-year statute of limitations of 93A. As such, these allegations cannot form the basis of the Plaintiffs' 93A claims.
At trial, the Plaintiffs argued that the Defendants' conduct that took place outside the four-year statute of limitations can be considered because theregarded the borrower's credit line as an increased credit risk. As July 31, 2002 approached, the borrower's CPA had not yet completed its financial statement, so the lender agreed to extend the renewal deadline to the end of October. The lender met with the borrower on October 3, and asked the borrower's principals if they would consider giving additional security in addition to personally guaranteeing the credit line. The principals rejected the proposal and the lender's officers did not pursue the point or seek an increased rate as a condition for renewal. One of the bank officers concluded the meeting by stating that the only remaining thing for him to do was "write it up."
Approximately one month later, the bank officer called the borrower and stated that extension


than what were discussed at the December 19th meeting. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, p. 162. Mallegni did not contradict the fact that, at this point, Robert had not yet been informed that the lease release would be imposed as a condition to the extension. See Tr., Nov. 3, 2008, pp. 121-128. Furthermore, Mallegni had not told Robert anything to suggest that were not close to consummating the extension agreement.
On January 28, 2004, Norris sent a letter to 219 Forest which, for the first time, mentioned the lease release, and on January 30, 2004 Norris sent a subsequent letter that made it an express condition to the extension. See Pls. Exs. W, X. Thus, from the initial December 19th meeting up until January 28, 2004, 219 Forest wasextension of the December Note that it had no ability to meet. Finally, the Court finds that LBM knew or should have known that 219 Forest was without the authority to release Norris from his lease. At the least, LBM knew that 219 Forest had no ability to release Norris from his lease after the meeting in March of 2004, and yet LBM continued to insist on the release. See Tr., Nov. 5, 2008, pp. 173-174; Pls.' Ex. Y. Consequently, the Court concludes that LBM's conduct was unfair according to the standard pronounced in Swanson.
219 Forest attempted to extend the December Note, rather than refinance it with a new lender, because Wolfpen's looming veto power lodged 219 Forest between a rock and a hard place. 219 Forest had


5, 2008, p. 190; supra Section I. K. As Robert accurately informed Mallegni, the $3,500,000 figure was "ridiculous" and "incorrect." According to LBM's own ledgers, and without factoring any of the Court's adjustments with respect to the default interest and the $32,459.11 payment, $3,037,237.89, as opposed to $3,500,000, was owed on the March and December Notes as of November 20, 2005. See Pls.' Agreed Exs. 22 & 38.[33] Mallegni's final attempt to sabotage 219 Forest's financial decision making and the commencement of its long overdue construction was an overwhelming successthe National City financing came to a halt and 219 Forest never secured a construction loan.
During this time that Mallegni was stonewalling Robert's requests for payoff figures, LBM had pledged the December Note to Danvers Bank to secure anby the end of the year, David, acting in his capacity as 201 Forest's authorized agent, executed the 201 Forest Guaranty. See Pls.' Agreed Ex. 31. Mallegni's misrepresentation that lured 219 Forest into signing the December Note simply cannot be separated from David's execution of the 201 Forest Guaranty. The December Note and the 201 Forest Guaranty were executed on the same date. Both instruments make up one larger transaction that was spawned by Mallegni's misrepresentation regarding Commerce's necessity to have the Commerce Note repaid by the end of the year. Consequently, judgment will enter declaring the 201 Forest Guaranty void as it was a product of Mallegni's misrepresentation.

G. Count XI: The Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing

219 Forest seeks to recover from LBM and Mallegni under


Forest required such information in order to proceed with construction financing with National City. As explained supra Section II. E. 3., 219 Forest proved a loss of $10,000 from these transgressions. Accordingly, judgment will enter for 219 Forest in the amount of $10,000 against LBM.

Mallegni's Personal Liability for the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing
The principal contracts at issue in this case, the March Note and the December Note, were entered into by and between LBM and 219 Forest. See Pls.' Agreed Exs. 16, 27. The evidence presented at trial, however, also established that Mallegni entered into two contracts in his individual capacity. Recovery against Mallegni under a fiduciary duty theory pursuant to 219 Forest's LLC membership agreement, which Wolfpen was a party to by virtue ofits 40% membership interest in 219 Forest, for self-dealing that Mallegni seemingly engaged in was not sufficiently pled, nor was it proven. In the first contract, Mallegni agreed to purchase 219 Forest's obligations owed under the Commerce Note in the event that 219 Forest defaulted on the Commerce Note. See Pls.' Agreed Ex. 17 ("first contract"). In exchange for Mallegni's agreement to sign the first contract, 219 Forest and Mallegni entered into the March Agreement. The March Agreement provided that Mallegni would become Successor Trustee of 219 Forest, would be appointed as the party to sign documents for 219 Forest, and would be assigned a 60% membership interest in 219 Forest if he was required to purchase 219 Forest's obligations owed under the Commerce Note. See Pls.' Agreed.


Ex. 18.
Mallegni fully performed his obligations under the first contract by purchasing 219 Forest's obligations under the Commerce Note on November 27, 2002. With respect to the March Agreement, Mallegni's main obligation was to sign the first contract. See Pls.' Agreed Ex. 18, ¶¶ 2-3. It is undisputed that Mallegni signed the first contract. See Pls.' Agreed. Ex. 17. The remaining provisions of the second contract imposed obligations on 219 Forest, David, and Kimberly and gave rights to Mallegni in the event that the first contract was enforced against Mallegni. The Court has also found that the March Agreement required the application of the Cranston Commons reimbursements to the March Note. See supra Section II. C. In contravention of this obligation, the *594 $32,459.11 payment was not appliedprior approval. The next day, Mallegni told Robert that he would not agree to the First Essex proposal because he spoke with Massad at Commerce and Commerce wanted to do the construction financing.[40] Mallegni told Robert that Commerce felt that it was owed the opportunity to do the construction financing because it had previously helped 219 Forest by lending under the Commerce Note in March of 2001. This was the second time that Mallegni brought Commerce into the fold as he previously "assisted" 219 Forest in procuring the Commerce Note. See supra Section I. E. This time, however, Mallegni's decision to bring in Commerce was completely unsolicited by 219 Forest, and was, notably, an abrupt response to 219 Forest's attempt to refinance its obligations through an "outside" lender.

M.G.L. ch. 183, § 54D. This statute was not in effect when Mallegni rebuffedThe child’s mother, who does not wish to be named, yesterday told the Irish Independent how her daughter went into anaphylactic shock on the United Airlines flight after eating some nuts served on the flight

THE family of an Irish child - who was given adrenaline onboard a transatlantic flight earlier this month after suffering an allergic reaction - were removed from their return flight home after the cabin crew told them it was not 'a nut-free airline'.

The family involved, from Dublin, were travelling to New Jersey with their four-year-old daughter as well as the child's aunt and elderly grandparents on August 5 when the incident occurred.

The child's mother, who does not wish to be named, yesterday told the Irish Independent how her daughter went into anaphylactic shock on


the United Airlines flight after eating some nuts served on the flight.

"About two hours out over the Atlantic they served a small bowl of cashew nuts and another mix of nuts. She took one cashew nut and within 30 seconds to a minute, her face blew up and she broke out in hives all over her body. She couldn't breathe properly either.

"They put out a call for medical personnel and thankfully there happened to be an allergy specialist from Houston, Texas on board the flight. She came to the front and gave her the adrenaline from a vial."

The flight returned to Dublin and the little girl, who had never suffered an allergic reaction before, was rushed to Temple Street Children's Hospital. By the next morning, she had recoveredand was discharged in time to make the rescheduled flight to Newark Airport, on which the airline opted not to serve any nuts. On the return flight back to Dublin after their holiday, the family again asked the airline not to serve nuts, the child's mother explained.

"But that seemed to be a big issue because this was part of the United service and they said they didn't advertise themselves as a 'nut-free airline'," she said.

"We were only going to discommode 10 other people because we were all in first class. They asked the other people but then a simple request seemed to turn into a big production. "

The couple and their child were then asked to get off the flight and were accommodated in a hotel for the


p.m. on January 13, 1994, and the victim's car was parked in her driveway that evening. According to the victim's relatives, it was routine for someone to drive her to work in her car in the morning, then drive it back to her home and park it in her driveway. She would not loan her car to anyone overnight. On the morning of January 14, however, no one came to drive the victim to work because she had a doctor's appointment that day.
{5} According to her relatives, the victim was 56 or 57 years old and lived alone. She had iron security bars on her windows and doors. Several witnesses testified that she kept her doors locked and would not open them to strangers. Defendant, however, was nota stranger. He was the victim's nephew, and his father's house was only three houses away from the victim's house.
{6} On January 13, 1994, Defendant was an inmate at a correctional facility in Los Lunas, New Mexico. That evening, he went on an escorted furlough to attend a basketball game at the University of New Mexico Arena in Albuquerque. Defendant was transported to the game with other inmates in a prison van and was allowed to wear civilian clothes. About three minutes after the second half of the game started, Defendant requested permission to go to the restroom. Defendant had not returned from the restroom when the game ended at 9:15 p.m. When he did not return to the prison van after the game, he was placed on
