flight test of its new high-tech J-20 stealth military jet on 11 January has drawn a lot of attention, particularly because it came during the visit of US defence secretary Robert Gates. What it means is another question, and the answers are complex.

It may sound like an environmentalist's pipe dream, but giant greenhouses could soon be popping up in some of the world's deserts, producing fresh drinking water, food and fuel.

The Sahara Forest Project, which aims to create green oases in desert areas, has signed a deal to build a pilot plant in Aqaba, near the Red Sea in Jordan. With funding from the Norwegian government, the team plans to begin building the pilot plant on a 200,000 square metre site in 2012.

"This is a serious safety issue,"said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in the prepared statement. Deliberately shining a laser at a plane is also a federal offence.

A sudden flash of laser light inside a cockpit can dangerously distract a pilot by imposing the same kind of temporary blindness that often follows a powerful camera flash. The past few years have witnessed a number of what seem to be malicious laser attacks on aircraft. In March of 2008, unidentified individuals wielding four green laser pointers launched a coordinated attack on six incoming airplanes at Sydney Airport.

In February 2009, 12 pilots landing their planes at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport reported similar disturbances. This month 52-year-old Gerard Sasso of Medford, Massachusetts was sentenced to three years in prison after intercepting a State Police helicopter with an industrial


Bologna. Legend has it that tortellini, or pasta dumplings, are modeled on the bellybutton of the goddess Venus. Whatever the origin, they're a classic Italian dish and one that few home cooks would attempt these days, if only because supermarkets carry decent ready-made versions.

The team started by recording the actions of a sfoglina, the traditionally female chefs who prepare pasta. In the game, the sfoglina's actions are broken down into key steps, such as the circular action used to knead the flour and eggs together.

   killed Clinton Washington (hereinafter the victim). A bench trial on the first two counts of
        first-degree murder was held in January of 2009.
¶4           The evidence at trial established that in July of 2007, defendant was 16 years old and
        lived on the west side of Chicago. Defendant testified that early in the evening of July 31,
        2007, he and his friend Pierre Blackney walked to Douglas Park to attend a birthday party.
        He further testified that as the two walked to the park, Blackney asked defendant tohold a
        handgun because Blackney’s pants were too tight for the weapon. Defendant agreed to hold
        the gun in his back pocket, and he testified that the gun was old and appeared to be missing
        some pieces near the trigger.
¶5           Defendant and Blackney joined the party, which was also attended by Sedale Cummings
        and Tiffany Thomas. A few hours later, the victim, DeShawn Hayes, Don Hicks, and
        Rasheed Thomas arrived at the park in the victim’s car. Sometime during the week prior to


that defendant indicated that he did not want to have to shoot the victim, and Thomas
     testified that she saw defendant strike the victim in the head twice with the gun. Ultimately,
     defendant shot the victim once in the back of the head. At trial, defendant testified that he
     only produced the gun because it appeared that the victim was going to choke Blackney to
     death and felt threatened himself. Defendant stated that he never intended to shoot the victim
     and that the gun simply went off when he hit the victim in the back of the head. After the
     shooting defendant ran awayfrom the scene and discarded the gun, but he was arrested on
     September 4, 2007.
¶8        The victim was taken to the hospital, where he died on August 1, 2007. Dr. Tera Jones,
     an assistant medical examiner, testified that the victim died as a result of a single gunshot
     wound to the rear of his head. She also testified that evidence of a close-range shooting
     generally included soot and small scratches and abrasions near the gunshot wound. She found
     no such evidence in this case, but did acknowledge that any soot could have been washed

In fact, according to the National Pool and Spa Institute, nearly fifteen million households boast a residential swimming pool. Why are residential swimming pools so popular? Perhaps it is because they enable consumers to enjoy a variety of aquatic activities without ever leaving their home. A practical alternative to transporting a carload full of kids, water toys, snacks, towels and similar amenities to a local swimming pool, only to find that the pool is overcrowded with users, or in worse case scenario, closed to the public, owning a residential swimming pool allows consumers to step outside their back door and enjoy a quick swim, whenever desired.

In the city of Wroclaw, Ripley meets up with Tom, a bookish teenager from Pennsylvania, and discovers yet another difference between the schools in top-performing countries and those in the United States. In Tom’s hometown high school, Ripley observes, sports were “the core culture.” Four local reporters show up to each football game. In Wroclaw, “sports simply did not figure into the school day; why would they? Plenty of kids played pickup soccer or basketball games on their own after school, but there was no confusion about what school was for — or what mattered to kids’ life chances.”

Naomi Watts Set to Be in "Impossible" Peril Again

Receive the latest popcornbiz updates in your inbox

It's just been too long since movie-goers have seen Naomi Watts struggling against all odds on film like she did in 2005 blockbuster "King Kong" -- but that will change now that Summit Entertainment has picked up the rights to "The Impossible" and "Fair Game."

In "The Impossible," Watts is set to star with Ewan McGregor in a film about the 2004 tsunami that battered the coast of Thailand, according to Deadline Hollywood.

The project, directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, begins shooting Alicante, Spain, this August. Production will move to Thailand in October.

Clearly someone at Summit is a big fan of Watts' work. This is the second film featuring the actress that the studio hasof the spectrum, financial services and retailing are fairly clean. Most bribes go to managers of state-owned companies, followed by customs officials. And America leads the enforcement pack, with 128 cases that resulted in sanctions (see chart).

But the report also undermines some common beliefs. Bribery is not a sin of rogue employees or poor countries. In 53% of cases payments were made or authorised by corporate managers (and in 12% of them by the chief executive). More than 40% of the time, the bribe-taking official was in a developed country (though this figure is probably inflated by rich countries’ greater willingness to criminalise bribery and co-operate with cross-border investigations). Authorities are often alerted by firms themselves: those that co-operate quickly are often treated leniently.

Nevertheless, the cleanest countries tend


Is skilled technique characterized by high or low variability? An analysis of high bar giant circles.
There is conflicting evidence as to whether skilled performance is associated with lower or higher movement variability. The effect of skill level and task difficulty on movement variability during gymnastics swinging was investigated. Four male gymnasts ranging in skill from university standard through to international medallist performed 10 consecutive regular giant circles and 10 double straight somersault dismounts preceded by accelerated giant circles while kinematic data were recorded. Joint angle time histories of the hip and shoulder were calculated and the turning points between flexion and extension determined during each giant circle. Standard deviations of the time and magnitude of the angles at each turning point were calculated. The more elite gymnasts wereFILE PHOTO: A U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) missing person poster shows Jayme Closs, a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl, missing since her parents were discovered fatally shot three months ago, has been located in Gordon, Wisconsin, U.S. as seen in this poster provided January 11, 2019.

Lo and behold, he was taken by Geelong, who took a punt on him with the 24th pick. Now, it must be pointed out that West Coast had a selection at 21, and passed on Kelly in favour of Oscar Allen. They also had pick 13, where they took Jarrod Brander, and Fremantle had picks 2 and 5, where they selected Andrew Brayshaw and Adam Cerra.

Four chances in the top 21 picks to secure the services of Tim Kelly, and both Western Australian clubs passed on him.

But the Cats pounced, and at pick 24, they nabbed themselves a star in the making.

West Coast then had pick 26 where they picked a kid called


different. Kelly was a stranger in a strange land at Geelong, and though his teammates, the club and the entirety of Geelong embraced him, Kelly was being pulled home by those closest to him.

What was a man to do?

As the AFL season concluded and the West Coast Eagles held aloft the premiership cup, Kelly’s mind was made up. He was going to ask Geelong to explore the opportunity to trade him “home”… to the West Coast Eagles.

And herein lies the problem.

came up with the Lisbon treaty. When Ireland rejected the Lisbon treaty, they

Brexit vote with slightly changed conditions would be a very EU-like thing to
pull.

~~~
jeremysmyth
The EU didn't initiate this referendum though.

The Lisbon treaty was a result of complex negotiation, and Ireland was an
outlier, requiring a constitutional change to implement the change. The change
hadn't been effectively communicated, hence the negative initial vote. When it
eventually passed, it was after a number of small concessions had been made to
the terms of the negotiated treaty, and after a massive campaign to let the
people understand what was at stake. The referendum also made it absolutely
clear whatPresident Saddam Hussein of Iraq said tonight that he would free foreigners being held hostage in Iraq and Kuwait in exchange for a complete military and political pullout by the United States from the Persian Gulf region.

The Iraqi proposal came as diplomats said that some Western citizens were being moved to potential military targets to serve as human shields.

Leaving no doubt that the foreigners would be shields against bombing, Mr. Hussein said ''their presence, along with Iraqi families, at vital targets may prevent military aggression.''

Demands a Written U.S. Pledge

The trapped foreigners, more than 10,000, including about 3,000 Americans, could leave, Mr. Hussein said in a message broadcast over Baghdad television, if President Bush gave an unequivocal, written pledge to pull military forces out of the gulf, lifted the


economic blockade imposed after the takeover of Kuwait and promised not to attack.

The Iraqi leader said that Mr. Bush's promise should be backed by a United Nations Security Council guarantee that the American forces would withdraw from Saudi Arabia and the gulf on a fixed timetable, as fast as they had been deployed.

''Averting death and starvation resulting from American policy against Iraq, by preventing some citizens from traveling, is a gain for humanity as a whole,'' Mr. Hussein said in an effort to justify his refusal to let the foreigners leave. Discounted by U.S. He offered no response to international calls for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait, terming it an ''Arab issue.''

Aboard the plane carrying Mr. Bush from his vacation home in Maine to Washington, thePresident's spokesman, Marlin Fitzwater, dismissed the Hussein statement.

''This one doesn't have much relationship to our objective,'' Mr. Fitzwater said. ''It contains no new relevant proposals and makes no reference to the United Nations and Arab League calls for them to leave Kuwait.''

In Middle East waters, American warships continued to shadow two Iraqi oil tankers while the Administration tried to gain United Nations approval for military action to enforce the international embargo.

On Saturday night, the United Nations Security Council demanded that Iraq free all detained foreigners and gave an implicit warning of military action if they were not freed.

The White House had also been terse on Saturday in response to the Iraqi threat to use hostages as human shields and limit their food. The Iraqi statements were said to


be ''totally unacceptable.''

Both today and on Saturday, Mr. Bush declined to respond personally to Mr. Hussein.

In a ''goodwill gesture'' announced moments after the Iraqi leader's statement, Baghdad said that some Westerners from five countries that had not sent troops to join the forces in the gulf - Austria, Finland, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland - would be allowed to leave.

It was not immediately clear how many of the estimated 570 citizens of the five countries would be freed.

President Hussein made no mention of withdrawing Iraqi troops occupying Kuwait, as has been demanded by Mr. Bush and the United Nations Security Council.

''Arabs would treat this as an Arab issue,'' Mr. Hussein said.

This was not an offer to pull out, particularly since he cited territory disputed in the Western Sahara betweenMorocco and Polisario guerrillas, and Syria's occupation of much of Lebanon, ''and other issues.'' #9,000 Ordered to Hotels What the Iraqi President described as a call for ''an in-depth dialogue'' came on a day that began with the Iraqi authorities in Kuwait ordering the 9,000 or so Western nationals there to report to three luxury hotels.

''Anyone who does not comply with this call,'' the announcement said, ''they and their governments bear full responsibility for any evil consequences resulting from acts against them by hostile powers.''

Iraqi officials, in a series of announcements on Saturday, said the Western, Japanese and Australian nationals forbidden to leave Iraq and Kuwait - estimated to total nearly 13,000 - would be interned at strategic military and industrial targets in the hope of warding off


report to the hotels will be rounded up and taken direct to the sites,'' the Foreign Office said the Iraqi officials had told them. This information was in a bulletin read over the BBC's hourly foreign news shortwave broadcasts.

The Foreign Office said that about 40 Britons had been moved out of their hotels in Kuwait to ''unknown destinations.''

British officials added they had reports that British citizens were being held at checkpoints in Kuwait City and that some foreigners had already been moved to strategic sites.

''In addition to British citizens, French, West Germans and Americans have been affected,'' the Foreign Office said.

The French Foreign Ministry protested to Iraq during the day that 26 French citizens had been taken from hotels in Baghdad and that one had been seized inchildren and your children will be orphaned if war breaks out and many of our women and your women will become widows. Many of our men and your men will die.''

The later announcement of the ''good-will'' release of the limited number of foreigners, made by the Speaker of Parliament, Saadi Mahdi Saleh, appeared to suggest an effort to weaken the international economic embargo being imposed on Iraq and swap hostages for goods.

More foreigners might be released, Mr. Saleh said, if their countries did not impose ''sanctions on the import of food, medicine and other goods to Iraq.''

The vast majority of foreign workers in Kuwait and Iraq are Arabs - more than a million Egyptians alone - and other third-world nationals, particularly from the Indian subcontinent and the Philippines.

Google Street View adds 250,000 miles of roadways

Taroko Gorge, in the Taroko National Park in Taiwan, was part of 250,000 miles added to Google's Street View in an update.

Story highlights

Google adds 250,000 miles to its Street View feature

Update comes in wake of flap with Apple over dropping Maps from the iPhone

Areas added to Street View are in 17 countries

More virtual tour "special collections" were added as well

With fallout still swirling from Apple's decision to replace Google Maps with its own mobile mapping, Google on Thursday announced the biggest upgrade ever to its Street View tool.

The update adds more than 250,000 miles of roadways in 17 countries, said Ulf Spitzer, Google's Street View program manager, in a blog post Thursday.

The Street View feature on Google Maps lets users seea real-world, 360-degree view of locations. Showcasing Google's global reach, the new coverage areas include parts of Macau, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand, Taiwan, Italy, Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Canada and the United States.

Since launching in 2007, Google Street View had captured 20 petabytes of data in 48 countries. The company uses cars, trikes, snowmobiles and people outfitted with custom cameras to capture 360-degree images around the world.

In the new update, Google also added a spate of "special collections" to the feature, providing virtual tours of attractions around the globe.

"Street View, as you know, is a useful resource when you're planning a route or looking for a destination, but it can also magically transport you to some of the world's picturesque and culturally significant landmarks," Spitzer said.

The new spots include


Catherine Palace and Ferapontov Monastery in Russia, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taiwan and Stanley Park in Vancouver.

Google Maps has been on the minds of many since Apple decided to replace it as the default mapping system on iOS 6, the latest version of its mobile operating system. The update coincided roughly with the release of the iPhone 5, meaning millions saw the new product for the first time after getting their new phones.

The release was bad enough that Apple CEO Tim Cook issued a rare apology, saying in an open letter that Apple is "extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused" and promising to improve the feature.

Google has been officially silent on whether it plans to release a new Google Maps app for iOS 6, whichbumped up – the bhazow diaries

First class flying.

July 4th,1997

Kai Tak airport at 11p.m. on a Thursday night during school holidays appears to be modelled on the celestial clearing house that serves to separate those bound for Purgatory and those more permanently inconvenienced.

– thought Bhazow, who was patiently seated upon a rigid plastic chair in a drafty transit corridor under lights too dim to read by. Now three hours into the waiting period for Flight Q8 to Perth.

His wife Fontana, who had just left him temporarily to again check on the prices of a range of French perfumes at one of the airport shops, was working under the premise that at any time there was an announcement of something in Korean it signified the


possibility of a price adjustment on a range of expensive French merchandise.

Untroubled by the logic of her actions Bhazow remained calmly seated whilst keeping secure the five attractively wrapped packages that she had already deposited with him.

Despite the unwanted attentions of a small boy who seemed to have formed a liking for him and who insisted on stating to Bhazow items of a personal nature.

The child’s mother, a well travelled woman who wandered into the corridor from the bar occasionally in order to chastise her son, seemed to have formed an lively association with a tattooed youth wearing an armless shirt and a wide brimmed stetson.

The young man seemed to be incapable of any expression other than an amiable leer and Bhazow wondered at the state of hissensibilites – given that the definitive message printed on the back of his shirt was ‘ Suck, Dope !’

Fontana reappeared once again to add yet another gilt wrapped package to her collection, and after a two minute respite by her husband’s side she appropriated the remainder of his unused foreign currencies and glided away and towards a Marks and Spencer outlet.

The small boy, until now not considered by Bhazow as a child able to discriminate perceptibly, shyly wandered up to him and observed that , ‘ The lady was very pretty, isn’t she. ‘

– and in doing earned himself a pat on the head.

Sometime later flight Q8 was announced for boarding and the three to four hundred people who were to enjoin the aircraft tiredly collected into a


ragged queue at the boarding gate to await the convenience of the ticket attendants. Both of whom were attractive young women in Swire suits who were able to work at their monitors amongst the impatient throng of passengers without once raising their heads and meeting anyones’ eyes.

Bhazow and Fontana waited, fifth in line.

Whereupon they were soon abreast of the gate and about ready to pass through when Annette – as she was name-tagged – asked them to please wait for a moment,

– while she whispered in rapid Cantonese into a small phonepiece attached to the wall.

Fontana, undiminished by the delay, smiled down at her husband’s little friend Kelly – who had remained close by – and found for him a small peppermint from her handbag.

– and Bhazow, numbwith fatigue waited patiently for whatever was destined to happen.

‘ Mister Bhazow ? ‘ asked the attendant sweetley,

‘ Hmmm. ‘ he replied

‘ I am happy to inform you that you and your wife have been upgraded on this flight.’

An electric tremor passed through Fontana’s attractive body.

‘ Are you sure ? ’ he questioned not unreasonably, just as his wife inserted her perfectly lacquered fingernail between his fourth and fifth rib. Sign language.

Be quiet.

– and a moment later he found himself through the gate and walking the softly carpeted First Class gangway that led to front of the aircraft. Fontana in a commanding lead.

Where they were graciously met by three hostesses and the Senior Flight Purser – Roger.

– and shown into a large room softly lit, resplendent with spacious


seats, littered with fresh trays of hors d’ouvres and illuminated by the interior lights of several opened cocktail cabinets.

And another moment later he found himself almost fully reclined, shoes discarded, a large Myers Jamaican Rum at his elbow, a comprehensive menu in his hand, a soft Rachmaninoff melody whispering through his personal speaker, and watching his wife examine the contents of a trolley of perfumes and jewellery that had been wheeled conveniently close to her seat. Pre-flight in-seat shopping. A nice touch.

Later, when the aircraft had satisfactorily achieve a cruising height of thirty five thousand feet – an altitude that ensured the safety of the carving trolly that Jennie the hostess had noislessly wheeled to Bhazow’s side – he was asked whether he liked his rare grain fedQueensland beef sliced thick, or thin.

Prior to making the decision he gazed over at his lovely wife who was considering what effect five years in an oaken cask would have on texture of a bottle of 1989 Rothschilds Mileiu, as she waited for her Lobster Thermidor to cool sufficiently to be eaten comfortably.

Perth.

‘ How was your trip ?’ yelled Tony, Bhazow’s youger brother. Not quite overcoming the rattling cacophony of his fifteen year old station wagon as they careered down the deserted early morning streets of Freemantle. Three boards on the roof, four lobster traps in the back. A smell of old fish and petrol.

The announcement was met with loud applause at the event where Carter was speaking, a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month celebration at the Pentagon.

Carter said the military must be a "meritocracy" and should have a "lasting commitment to living the values we defend."

"We must start from a position of inclusivity, not exclusivity," he said.

While the change does not specifically address discrimination against transgender individuals, the move signals another step in the department's effort to remove barriers for all troops to serve.

Carter said adding sexual orientation to the anti-discrimination policy will help ensure that the military population reflects the national character and contribute to a stronger force that appeals to the next generation of recruits.

"Young Americans are more diverse, more open and tolerant than past generations. ... It's the only way to compete in the 21st century," Carter said.

Underscoring the department's commitment to diversity, a panel at the LGBT event included Amanda Simpson, a transgender woman who serves as executive director of the Army Office of Energy Initiatives.

Simpson is a former test pilot who transitioned while working in the late 2000s for Raytheon and is thought to be the first transgender political appointee, having been named by President Obama


as senior technical adviser to the Commerce Department in 2010.

"I don't have this position because I'm transgender. I'm serving because I happen to be the best person for the job," Simpson said.

Shortly after the announcement, Human Rights Campaign Government Affairs Director David Stacy applauded Carter's leadership but said regulations must be updated to ensure all troops can serve openly.

"Secretary Carter should implement these vital changes and also extend these same nondiscrimination protections to the estimated 15,500 transgender troops currently serving in the military," Stacy said.

The American Military Partners Association also praised the announcement, calling it "long overdue" for gay and lesbian service members who, along with their spouses, have endured discrimination.Wednesday, March 16, 2011

BLOG # 136 FATHER 1
The response of Jesus to the Father on earth and the response of the Eternal Word of God in the Blessed Trinity from all eternity to the Father can be identified as love. Jesus, the Word Incarnate, was like us in all but sin. Though divine and from all eternity united by divine love with the Father in the life of the Trinity, on earth Jesus , like us, was called to discover and respond to the Father's Presence here with us in the physical world, in people, and in the human experience of prayer. It was this response to which Jesus was referring when on the night before He died in obedience to the Father's plan


There is no other. His response to the Father, and ours, could only be total love. Nothing and no-one could take the Father's place as Creator of all. No-one could assume the Father's authority or His Name. "Do not call anyone on earth your Father. Only One is your Father, the One in Heaven". (Mt 23: 9).
What then of the practice in the Catholic Church of referring to a priest as Father? Is this idolatry, arrogance, disobedience, stupidity, or what? It is certainly a long and well established tradition.

About 5:45 p.m. that Sunday, a man in a red shirt exchanged words with the victim in the 2900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE.

WARNING: Some may find the surveillance video below disturbing.

Surveillance video from nearby Petey Greene Community Center shows the man in a red shirt punch the 63-year-old victim, dropping him to the ground. He stepped away from the motionless victim before returning, bending over him, and apparently going through his pockets and taking a dollar.

Unlike other Azerbaijani media outlets which have wrangled with the authorities, ANS (Azerbaijan News Service), one of the first successful private TV stations in the former Soviet Union, had never been critical of the government. It had named President Ilham Aliyev “Person of the Year” repeatedly, and even had a pledge of support from his powerful father, the late President Heydar Aliyev.

In a 1997 interview, the elder Aliyev had called the station “proof of democracy in Azerbaijan and the existence of free media.”

“[N]obody would be able to stop your activities,” he pledged.

Yet, one year on, ANS remains off the air. Most of the journalists among its former hundreds of employees have left for other pro-government TV channels.

Hardly leaking members then.

As for being "virtually bankrupt"... well... Iain, as a Tory Party member, is hardly one to talk. Unlike almost all of the other parties, UKIP has no debts and no loans. Compared to the others, in fact, UKIP's finances are in rude health, despite the depredations of the Electoral Commission. As any government should, UKIP spends within its means.

Let's face it, UKIP have been successful enough that The Sunday Telegraph, led by the Daniel "Shitface" Foggo, made a concerted effort to destroy the party earlier this year, running damaging story after damaging story over a period of months (allegedly being fed information by certain disgruntled, former officers of the party).

And despite this, UKIP has, I repeat, gained members since FarageYum’s Profit Climbs as KFC Sales in China Rebound

NEW YORK (AP) — Yum Brands reported a higher-than-expected profit for its first quarter highlighted by a rebound in KFC sales in China, where concerns about the safety of the chain's chicken supply eased.

The company, which also owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, said Tuesday that sales at established locations in China rose 9 percent for the period.

Louisville, Ky.-based Yum has been working to re-establish trust with customers China, where it is the biggest Western fast-food operator with more than 6,300 locations. In late 2012, a TV report said some of KFC's suppliers were giving chickens unapproved levels of antibiotics. That touched off fears over food safety and sales nosedived.

Crawford Williamson Long: The True Pioneer of Surgical Anesthesia.
Anesthesia and analgesia are as old as mankind itself. However, we now know that the true pioneer of surgical anesthesia through inhalation of ether was Doctor Crawford Williamson Long (1815-1878), who endeavored to help his profession and mankind without pursuing any reward or honor. Crawford Williamson Long was a great and beloved American surgeon. He was a well-educated and elegant man with an outstanding personality. Crawford was born in Danielsville, Georgia, in the United States and was the son of James Long and Elizabeth Ware Long. He married Mary Caroline Swain Long and gave birth to 12 children. Long proved the effectiveness of ether after painlessly removing a tumor from the neck. In 1847, a rivalry broke out among HoraceWells, Charles Thomas Jackson, and William Thomas Green Morton for the primacy as regards the discovery of anesthesia. The US Congress offered itself to arbitrate the case of the so called "ether controversy." Finally, a few years after the end of the North American Civil War, while taking care of a patient, Crawford passed away, presumably after suffering a stroke.

media caption Mikhail Kalashnikov: "I created a weapon to defend the fatherland's borders"

The inventor of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94, Russian officials say.

The automatic rifle he designed became one of the world's most familiar and widely used weapons.

Its comparative simplicity made it cheap to manufacture, as well as reliable and easy to maintain.

Although honoured by the state, Kalashnikov made little money from his gun. He once said he would have been better off designing a lawn mower.

Kalashnikov was admitted to hospital with internal bleeding in November.

He died on Monday in Izhevsk, the city where he lived 600 miles east of Moscow, an official there said.

Matching the Germans

Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov was born


on 10 November 1919 in western Siberia, one of 18 children.

In 1938, he was called up by the Red Army and his design skills were used to improve the effectiveness of weapons and equipment used by Soviet tank regiments.

He designed the machine gun after being asked by a fellow soldier why the Russians could not come up with a gun that would match the ones used by the Germans.

Work on the AK47 was completed in 1947, and two years later the gun was adopted by the Soviet army.

Kalashnikov continued working into his late 80s as chief designer at the Izhevsk firm that first built the AK-47.

He received many state honours, including the Order of Lenin and the Hero of Socialist Labour.

Kalashnikov refused to accept responsibility for the manySYDNEY (Reuters) - A drone rescued two swimmers off an Australian beach on Thursday, a world first for the fast-developing technology that seems perfectly suited to saving lives at sea, authorities said.

The rescue took place as life savers at Lennox Head, a beach popular with surfers south of the city of Brisbane, were preparing for a training session on using drones to pull swimmers to safety.

The practice turned into a real rescue when someone noticed that two men swimming outside safety flags were in trouble in a three-meter (10-foot) swell, the government said in a statement.

Lifeguards launched the drone, steered it towards the swimmers and dropped a “rescue pod” into the water, where it expanded so the swimmers could grab it and swim to shore.

“Never before has a


drone fitted with a flotation device been used to rescue swimmers like this,” said John Barilaro, the deputy premier of New South Wales state.

The rescue took just 70 seconds. The two swimmers were exhausted but unharmed.

Barilaro said the state government had invested A$430,000 ($343,000) in a trial of drone technology in December.

Australia, most of whose 24 million live on the coast, had 291 drownings in the year to June 30, a small increase over the previous year but a decline on a per capita basis, according to the Royal Life Saving Society.

Forty people have drowned in the 2017/18 summer, down from 69 at the same time last year, the group said.Amazon Prime is a membership program that offers unlimited free two-day shipping on certain products for $79 a year.

Amazon said more than 1 million customers became new Amazon Prime subscribers in the third week of December.

modern political life.”

Yao’s audience was, at best, skeptical. Some accused him of overanalyzing, and one warned that he was at risk of “ruining” the book. Yao explained he was only trying to interpret from the perspective of political philosophy, which he believed made good sense for China’s social governance and the rebuilding of humanitarian spirit in the country.

For the past two years, Yao, a white-haired man in his forties, has been scouring the Chinese classics to seek ideological resources for the administration of a modern society. Given that Yao had established a reputation as a liberal with a particular interest in constitutional democracy and the writings of Austrian classical liberal writer Friedrich Hayek, his proclamation a few years ago that that he had become a “Confucian scholar” raisedboost his academic profile.

“Yes, I want to build up my reputation. Doesn’t everybody, especially ambitious scholars?” said Yao. While he claims to have turned his back on Hayek, he still claims to be the late Austrian’s “academic soul mate.”

The Confucian Gene

Yao says that since the Confucian spirit is “in his blood,” his new image is perfectly natural.

Born into a rural family in central Shaanxi in the 1960s, Yao won a place at Renmin University in Beijing to read history in 1984, largely thanks to the guidance of his father, a high school graduate and the most learned man in the village.

Like other college students in the 1980s, Yao absorbed himself in the works of the Western humanities writers that became all the rage when China opened up to


the outside world.

“I made my way through a lot of Jean-Paul Sartre, Sigmund Freud and Martin Heidegger,” said Yao.

In 1988, illness forced Yao to take a sabbatical, also causing him to miss the biggest event of the decade – the Tiananmen Square incident. It was during this time that he began reading the Buddhist and Confucian classics, a pursuit he claims to have continued ever since.

Throughout the winter of 1988, he rose at daybreak to prepare and consume traditional Chinese herbal remedies. While he was preoccupied with his recovery and future, Yao claims the care he received from his family and fellow villagers reminded him of the value of China’s traditional culture.

“Our village retained many traditions that even the Cultural Revolution could not destroy, and tradition had enabledthe peasants to find peace in their tough lives.”

After recovering from his illness, Yao returned to Beijing in the fall of 1989 to pursue postgraduate studies in historiography. His master's thesis was on the work of Chien Mu (1895-1990), a heavyweight Chinese historian and an expert on the ancient Chinese classics, who lived in Taiwan at the time.

After graduation, Yao took a government job, but soon resigned to start a business with a few friends. After the business failed, he worked for a number of media outlets before eventually settling down with a newspaper as a night-desk editor.

This job offered the stable income and security that enabled him to focus on reading up on the Austrian school of classical liberalism, which was popular among the Chinese intellectual community


at the time. Hayek became Yao’s spiritual mentor.

Since then, Yao has made a name for himself as a media commentator, paving the way for him to become a “public intellectual.” Around 2000, Yao quit his full-time job and became an independent scholar.

The man was a highly prolific freelance commentator, churning out six or seven incisive pieces per week under the pseudonym Qiu Feng (literally “Autumn Wind” in Chinese), usually revolving around the themes of democracy, rule of law and enlightenment.

Now, Yao’s business card boats a long list of titles, including director of the independent thank-tank Unirule, professor at Beihang University and director of the Confucianism research institute Hong Dao Academy.

While Yao had already succeeded in becoming a popular commentator, it was not until his high-profile conversion to Confucianism,is a set of concepts, ideas and means that had nothing to do with our own civilization in the first place. The concepts used in the research of economics, politics and law are totally irrelevant to the concepts Chinese people use in thinking, which has led humanities and social sciences to become disconnected from reality in China,” he continued.

Yao believes Chinese scholars need to return to their cultural roots – the Confucian classics. He is trying to find a way to allow liberalism, democracy and rule of law to take root in China, saying his ideals boil down to three words: Confucian constitutional democracy.

From the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD) through the Qing (1644–1911), almost all Chinese rulers derived their principles of governance from the interpretation and reinterpretation

As another MOS semiconductor device, a device has been proposed in which two polysilicon diodes having an insulating film interposed therebetween are formed on an insulating film formed on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate main surface and the insulating film between the polysilicon diodes is used as a capacitive component region (for example, see the following Patent Document 6). In the following Patent Document 6, the insulating film serving as a capacitor has an opening portion and the polysilicon diode on the insulating film and the polysilicon diode below the insulating film are connected to each other through the opening portion.

Ladycats fight to the finish

December 6, 2012

Lady Cats traveled to Wilburton last Friday night for the season opener. The Lady Cats came out with a bang and thanks to 3 for 3 on three point shots by Senior Chelsi Thomas, at the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 14-14. Both teams came to play and at the half, the Lady Diggers were up 26-23.

After the half the Lady Cats were more determined than ever, but so were the Lady Diggers, and at the end of the 3rd they had a lead of 39-33, but the Lady Cats were more determined than ever, they came back with a vengeance, holding Wilbuton at bay and allowing them not to score a single point in the 4thperiod. Kendie Bryant sunk a 3 in the final moments of the game to move the Lady Cats ahead by two.

Wilburton answered with a break down the floor, but Lady Cat Meagan Wilbourn swatted the ball out of shot contention. Headed down the floor again the ball was overturned and into Wilburton's possession, only to be stolen by Lady Cat Senior Megan Brame, once again possession by Lady Cats.

Wilburton, frustrated by the Lady Cat offense began to foul, and finally a successful round at the Freethrow line by Cheyanne Simpson closed it out with Lady Cats defeating the Lady Diggers in a nail biting finish 42-38!

Senior Chelsi Thomas led scoring with 11 points, and 5 rebounds. Senior Megan Brame led the team with assists having 6 , 7

The remaining half I give and bequeath to St. John United Methodist Church, Greene Street, Augusta, GA.
Grant attended the University of Minnesota in the 1920's and 30's. A few years earlier, the Wesley Foundation was organized at the University as a Methodist student organization. It ministered to Methodist students at the University until 1967, when it transferred its assets to the Metropolitan Methodist Campus Ministry ("Metropolitan").[1] From that point on, the Wesley Foundation no longer functioned actively as an independent entity and Metropolitan proceeded to minister to University students in its stead.
Metropolitan serves as a trustee body for the property and funds of the United Methodist Church which are used for campus ministries. Beginning in 1974, Metropolitan


*162 carried on its work within the framework of the United Ministries in Higher Education ("United Ministries"), a coordinating body which ministers to the needs of students who are members of five Protestant churches, including the United Methodist Church, at the University of Minnesota. As a participating member in United Ministries, Metropolitan actively supports ecumenical campus ministries including worship, Bible study, fellowship, seminars, counseling, support groups, and mission opportunities. The Wesley Foundation carried out these same kinds of ministries when Grant was a student at the University of Minnesota.
Naming the Wesley Foundation, Metropolitan, St. John United Methodist Church, and Amy Gustafson, Grant's sole heir, as defendants, Grant's executrix filed a petition to construe Item VI of the will. Gustafson answered, asserting the bequest to the Wesley Foundation lapsedand she is entitled as Grant's sole heir to one-half of the residue of the estate. St. John United Methodist Church responded by asserting that, if the bequest to the Wesley Foundation lapsed, then it is entitled to the bequest as the residual legatee. Wesley Foundation and Metropolitan answered by asserting that Metropolitan is entitled to the bequest because it is the successor to the Wesley Foundation and ministers to students at the University of Minnesota just as the Wesley Foundation did when Grant was a student at that institution.
Following discovery, Metropolitan and Gustafson filed cross-motions for summary judgment. The court granted Metropolitan's motion, concluding that it was the successor to the Wesley Foundation and was entitled to receive Grant's bequest. Gustafson appeals in Case No. S96A0138; St.

Just two years ago, the high court struck down a federal law that made it a crime to lie about having been awarded military medals. And earlier this month, the conservative majority invalidated a cap on the overall amount of money donors can give, in the aggregate, to political candidates and parties. That decision, too, was in the name of free speech.

to cash a check. Tyhurst, wary and alarmed, entered Y and observed to his companion that "something is definitely amiss." Both thereupon took flight. As an alert officer attempted to apprehend the two, Titus made his escape, but Tyhurst was caught after he had cast some checks and money into a trash can. But he still had one check, Exhibit 4, at the time of his arrest. He had taken Exhibit 14 from Allen's office as he and Titus left on their brief criminal career.
Although thwarted, the law was not long delayed in bringing the authors of that conspiracy to an accounting. Titus drove from Westchester into Baldwin Hills, buried a check, Exhibit 13, under a piece of asphalt, reached his home, changed his apparel, returned to Allen'soffice, and reported their encounter with the officers. Allen directed him to hide out and get rid of the typewriter. Titus gave Allen the $91 he had and reported how Tyhurst had put his money and checks into an ash can behind a store. He hid the typewriter on a vacant lot about three miles distant.
During the ensuing days, Titus talked telephonically with Meyer and Allen to whom he had reported exactly what had happened at the Westchester store and he testified to the same facts in court. When he reported it to Allen, the latter promised he would attempt to get Tyhurst out of jail.

from her son. Plainclothed detectives thereupon took Titus away for further questioning.
They searched his office and seized six pieces of paper with pencil writing on them. Such writing was the repeated "signatures" of names the men had used on their fictitious checks and had been written within the two weeks preceding Titus' visit to May's Crenshaw.

TITUS CONFESSES
Two days after the search of Titus' office, the detectives returned and took him away to jail. There he told the officers of all that had transpired between appellants and himself and gave them his signed written statement. Also, with the officer he visited the scene of the hidden typewriter and buried check and the places where Tyhurst had cashed checks. The officers took into custody all objects used during the conspiracyof the seizing of those exhibits were testified to by witnesses for the People, which testimony was adopted in preference to that of defense witnesses.
After the officers had taken Meyer into custody December 16, 1954, they arrived at Allen's office about 10 a.m. Officers Anderson and Wallace went upstairs. Mrs. Mollot, the "legal" secretary, met them in the reception room. After some conversation, Mrs. Mollot had Mrs. Allen join her in a conference with the men. Mrs. Mollot told the officers that Mr. Allen was not in, one officer asked to see the place. They told her they had no search warrant, but that they were policemen. "We don't need it." They brushed Mrs. Mollet aside, and entered Mr. Allen's personal office at the rear.
Both ladies followed the


officers into Allen's office and *275 remained more than an hour. Officer Wallace without express permission took the check protector from the cabinet. Allen had not specifically authorized anyone to release the device to the officers. Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Mollot both identified Exhibit 9 as similar to the check protector removed from Allen's office. The detectives removed also from Allen's desk, without permission, a pad of payroll record slips on which they had Mrs. Mollot place her autograph. (Ex. 11.) Allen had never specifically given consent to its removal. The officers did not ask permission to remove anything from Allen's office, but when Allen's attorney arrived 45 minutes after the officers had entered, he approved of Mrs. Mollot's signing the payroll slip after she had done so.Also, while the lawyer was present, a specimen of the impression of the typewriter was taken without objection. The lawyer did not protest when the officers departed with the specimen, the check protector and the payroll slip.
Mrs. Mollot identified Exhibit 10 as the typewriter that had been in Allen's office.
While the officers were upstairs with Mrs. Allen and the lawyer, Allen was himself seated in an automobile, back of the building in the custody of an officer. His wife saw him there, but she testified that before he arrived, the officers had removed the check protector.
Allen had been arrested about five miles from his office at 10:30 a.m. He did not recognize the typewriter in the police car, but after his release, he discovered that one of his


typewriters was missing.
The officers gave a slightly different version of their meeting with Mrs. Mollot and Mrs. Allen. Anderson denied that anything was said about a search warrant; he said he did not need a warrant for Allen yet; a search warrant was not mentioned. Anderson and Mollot together went into Allen's office, looked around and walked out. Wallace listened in on a telephone call and heard a woman warn a man: "The police are looking for you." At the second ring, a male voice said the police were in his office but he was at the barber shop.
Officer Smith testified that while Wallace and Anderson were inside Allen's office, he sat in a police car with Meyer and Whiteaker; that as Wallace came out he gave Smitha telephone number for the latter to get its address. Thereupon Smith and Wallace called at the barbershop and arrested *276 Allen and had him inspect the typewriter in Smith's car. They drove to a point a short distance from Allen's office. Leaving Allen with Smith, Wallace approached the office where he met Allen's attorney with Anderson who [when Wallace informed Anderson that Allen was in custody, Anderson] told him to bring Allen upstairs where he wished to get the check protector and other items. When Wallace asked Allen to accompany him upstairs to get the check protector, Allen said he was suffering from an injured back and preferred not to climb the stairs. When informed that his attorney was upstairs, he said that is okay; that he


cared nothing about the check protector. "It won't do you any good."
On his return to Allen's office, Wallace found Attorney Duffy, Mrs. Mollot, and Officer Anderson searching Allen's desk for a withholding form Anderson had requested. Upon their discovery of a pad of such forms, Mrs. Mollot signed one (Ex. 11) with Duffy's approval.
After Allen had remained in the police automobile for about 20 minutes, he accompanied the officers to the front. Smith took the exemplar from the typewriter on Allen's desk, wrote the serial number of the machine on a scrap of paper and Mrs. Mollot signed it. She supposed that the parts of the typewriter were in Allen's desk. Only he had the key. Smith asked Allen for the key to his desk and asked himto return with him to his office to do a little checking. Allen declined with the excuse that he had been in an accident and was sore and bruised; did not care to face his employees; Smith might go ahead and look; he would find nothing; he could do what he wished and gave Smith the key to his desk.
Allen's denial of such conversation was rejected by the jury.
Nothing was found in the desk. During the entire search and removal of things from the office, Allen's attorney was present but made no protest. Wallace and Allen entered Smith's car but inside, Smith, Anderson and Whiteaker searched the downstairs room where the checks had been prepared and brought forth the check protector and typewriter exemplar. Then they departed with


appellants for the jail.
Allen denied having seen the check protector at any time from his arrest to his arrival at the Venice station, but he *277 never told Smith or any officer to refrain from taking anything.
It was stipulated that prior to December 16, 1954, the officers had reasonable cause to believe that Allen had committed a felony, forgery of fictitious name, and that prior to December 16, 1954, they had time within which to obtain a search warrant.

OTHER EVIDENCE

TITUS
Titus identified the check protector (Ex. 9) as the instrument used in preparing the checks. He identified the batch of checks (Ex. 13) as those he had hidden in the Baldwin Hills.
Allen kept a checking account at the Bank of America in the name of his "National Business Counsellors."so. He said Meyer wanted one hundred checks on four companies; he would receive $50 when he made the checks and if they were passed, he would get more. He said he telephoned a paper company under a fictitious name and ordered the paper; telephoned Meyer where the paper could be had; later, Allen telephoned him and he called on Allen and got the paper and instruction to fix them up; he took the package back to his place; scanned the yellow pages and picked four firms to use on the checks; after he had printed them but before they were cut, Allen telephoned to know whether they were ready; he told Allen they were in sheets of four and that Allen would have to cut them; Allen


lone exception of Exhibit 14. It was taken from Tyhurst's person while in flight from the policeman at Westchester. At that time the officer did not have knowledge of the crime or that Tyhurst was involved in a felony. The payroll record was obviously admitted through inadvertence. However, neither appellant bases his argument upon that exhibit.
As to all other exhibits, they were taken in searches incidental to the arrests. At the time of the search of Tyhurst and Titus, they were in the act of committing a felony and when Allen's office was searched and the items seized, the officers had good reason to believe that he was equally guilty. But for all that, it was stipulated that prior to December 16, 1954 "the officers had reasonable causeofficers to recover it.

ACCOMPLICES CORROBORATED
[8a] There was sufficient corroboration of the confederates who testified against appellants. Allen corroborated Titus and Ogan by his admission that Titus brought a package to him at his office the very day he had conversed with them about it. It was proved by the expert witnesses that Exhibit 23 had been prepared on Allen's typewriter and the check protector was used in preparing the forged checks. Also, Allen testified that the check protector (Ex. 9) and the typewriter (Ex. 10) were his own and were in his office in November 1954. That corroborated the testimony of Ogan and Titus to the effect that Allen told Titus, Tyhurst and Ogan when Ogan came to Allen's office to take (1) the check forms Ogan had


from National Business Counsellors.
12. The three National Business Counsellors' checks.
14. The Ideal Payroll Record and Tax Statement made out for "Richard A. Williams" indicating a payment of $92.73, and taken from Tyhurst's possession at the time of his apprehension.

The huge amount of foreclosed homes entering the market is yet another huge concern for the market. In 2010 alone, about 1 million homes were foreclosed which was 1.7% more than the number of foreclosures in the year 2009. Right now, there is a huge backlog of foreclosed homes.

day, the House of Representatives passed the identical bill by a vote of 232 to 177. Both appellee Congressmen voted "nay." Id., at H2986. On April 4, 1996, the President signed the Line Item Veto Act (Act) into law. Pub. L. 104-130, 110 Stat. 1200, codified at 2 U. S. C. § 691 et seq. (1994 ed., Supp. II). The Act went into effect on January 1, 1997. See Pub. L. 104-130, § 5. The next day, appellees filed a complaint in the District Court for the District of Columbia against the two appellants, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, alleging that the Act was unconstitutional.
The provisions of the Act do not use the term "veto." Instead, the PresidentCongress after their constituents had elected them. Rather, appellees' claim of standing is based on a loss of political power, not loss of any private right, which would make the injury more concrete. Unlike the injury claimed by Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, the injury claimed by the Members of Congress here is not claimed in any private capacity but solely because they are Members of Congress. See Complaint ¶ 14 (purporting to sue "in their official capacities"). If one of the Members were to retire tomorrow, he would no longer have a claim; the claim would be possessed by his successor instead. The claimed injury thus runs (in a sense) with the Member's seat, a seat which the Member holds (it may quite arguably be said) as trustee


State Senators voted not to ratify the proposed "Child Labor Amendment" to the Federal Constitution. With the vote deadlocked 20 to 20, the amendment ordinarily would not have been ratified. However, the State's Lieutenant Governor, the presiding officer of the State Senate, cast a deciding vote in favor of the amendment, and it was deemed ratified (after the State House of Representatives voted to ratify it). The 20 State Senators who had voted against the amendment, joined by a 21st State Senator and three State House Members, filed an action in the Kansas Supreme Court seeking a writ of mandamus that would compel the appropriate state officials to recognize that the legislature had not in fact ratified the amendment. That court held that the members of the legislaturerepealed at the behest of President Grover Cleveland in 1887. See generally W. Rehnquist, Grand Inquests: The Historic Impeachments of Justice Samuel Chase and President Andrew Johnson 210 235, 260-268 (1992). It provided that an official whose appointment to an Executive Branch office required confirmation by the Senate could not be removed without the consent of the Senate. 14 Stat. 430, ch. 154. In 1868, Johnson removed his Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton. Within a week, the House of Representatives impeached Johnson. 1 Trial of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, Before the Senate of the United States on Impeachment by the House of Representatives for High Crimes and Misdemeanors 4 (1868). One of the principal charges against him was that his removal of Stanton violated


the Tenure of Office Act. Id., at 6-8. At the conclusion of his trial before the Senate, Johnson was acquitted by one vote. 2 id., at 487, 496-498. Surely Johnson had a stronger claim of diminution of his official power as a result of the Tenure of Office Act than do the appellees in the present case. Indeed, if their *827 claim were sustained, it would appear that President Johnson would have had standing to challenge the Tenure of Office Act before he ever thought about firing a cabinet member, simply on the grounds that it altered the calculus by which he would nominate someone to his cabinet. Yet if the federal courts had entertained an action to adjudicate the constitutionality of the Tenure of Office Act immediatelyafter its passage in 1867, they would have been improperly and unnecessarily plunged into the bitter political battle being waged between the President and Congress.
Succeeding PresidentsUlysses S. Grant and Grover Clevelandurged Congress to repeal the Tenure of Office Act, and Cleveland's plea was finally heeded in 1887. 24 Stat. 500, ch. 353. It occurred to neither of these Presidents that they might challenge the Act in an Article III court. Eventually, in a suit brought by a plaintiff with traditional Article III standing, this Court did have the opportunity to pass on the constitutionality of the provision contained in the Tenure of Office Act. A sort of mini-Tenure of Office Act covering only the Post Office Department had been enacted in 1872, 17 Stat. 284, ch. 335, §


2, and it remained on the books after the Tenure of Office Act's repeal in 1887. In the last days of the Woodrow Wilson administration, Albert Burleson, Wilson's Postmaster General, came to believe that Frank Myers, the Postmaster in Portland, Oregon, had committed fraud in the course of his official duties. When Myers refused to resign, Burleson, acting at the direction of the President, removed him. Myers sued in the Court of Claims to recover lost salary. In Myers v. United States,  272 U. S. 52 (1926), more than half a century after Johnson's impeachment, this Court held that Congress could not require senatorial consent to the removal of a Postmaster who had been appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate. Id., at 106-107,rendered his authority provisional rather than final. By parity of reasoning, President Gerald Ford could have sued to challenge the appointment provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act which were struck down in Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U. S. 1 (1976) (per curiam), and a Member of Congress could have challenged the validity of President Coolidge's pocket veto that was sustained in The Pocket Veto Case, 279 U. S. 655 (1929).
There would be nothing irrational about a system that granted standing in these cases; some European constitutional courts operate under one or another variant of such a regime. See, e. g., Favoreu, Constitutional Review in Europe, in Constitutionalism and Rights 38, 41 (L. Henkin & A. Rosenthal eds. 1990); Wright Sheive, Central and Eastern European Constitutional Courts and

The north end of the lake is not cleared and contains dead tree stumps in the water.  These stumps provide cover for the fish and ideal conditions for anglers.  Hugo Lake features excellent crappie fishing and populations of bass and catfish.

In addition fishing there is also hunting and animal trapping at Hugo Lake.  The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation administers  at the lake, and the US Army Corps of Engineers manage 8,000.  These areas are home to white tail deer, waterfowl, mink, fox, and beaver.

In recent years Hugo Lake has been in the middle of ahe slaughtered 84 people and injured hundreds of others who were watching a fireworks display.

He also took a selfie of himself in the truck between picking it up and going on his killing spree, sending it via SMS to others it has now been claimed.

And in further messages now revealed according to Nice Matin, the local newspaper, he talked of his delight in obtaining a 7.65 pistol and his hope for getting other weapons.

More than 200 investigators are now working on identifying all recipients of the killer’s texts as they circle in on who knew what, when and why.

And a neighbour of the truck terrorist has described the moment they heard the bodybuilder chillingly tell neighbours 'one day, you'll hear about me' before he carried out the attack.

Meanwhile,


his brother has told how Bouhlel, 31, sent him a selfie where he was 'laughing a lot' in the French seaside city just hours before he drove the lorry into crowds at around 40mph.

The texts were sent from the mobile found in the lorry cab, along with the killer's driving licence and bank card, after police shot him down in a hail of gunfire.

The text was sent at 10.27pm to one of the men now in custody following the police swoop on the killer's friends and 'entourage'. It ended 'Bringing in five to C'.

It now appears that at least one of his messages was sent to another also in custody.

Dominique Rizet, crime editor of BMF TV said the five was presumably five minutes but who, he added, wasC?

Rizet, who is known to have superb contacts within the judiciary, said on BMF TV that the killer managed to find a 'hole' big enough to drive on to the Promenade. Everywhere else was blocked off for full pedestrian access during the celebrations.

He added: 'He knew exactly where he was going, what he was doing.'

It is not clear whether Bouhlel was self-radicalised or brainwashed by a preacher of hate. Worshippers at a mosque in Nice told the Mail that Bouhlel had never prayed there.

Meanwhile,
