The contract extension means the 22-year-old Fijian international will remain with the Panthers until at least the end of the 2019 season.

His highly-anticipated NRL debut came in Round 2 this season, with the


young prop scoring a memorable try against Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium.

"We are delighted Viliame has committed to another two seasons with the Panthers," Executive General Manager Rugby League Phil Gould AM said.

'An American tragedy'. the Cutter incident and its implications for the Salk polio vaccine in New Zealand 1955-1960.
During the United States polio immunisation campaign in 1955 a number of children immunised with Cutter Laboratories vaccine were stricken with the disease, halting the programme. This event, the Cutter Incident, had major repercussions in the United States but also in many other countries such as New Zealand, Britain, and Australia. In New Zealand scarcity of vaccine left children exposed to the 1955-6 epidemic and the Department of Health's planned immunisation campaign at the mercy of erratic supply. This paper examines how the consequences of the Cutter Incident shaped the New Zealand polio immunisation programme. The New Zealand experiences with the polio vaccine are set in an international context in orderwork to help our youth, as well as invested more than 3,500 hours in devoted service to young people across the nation. The programs in support of the Foundation have impacted 7000 lives. The Ludacris Foundation takes pride in “helping youth help themselves.”

A few years ago, Ludacris got a team together to grow additional passive income and not just be a rapper running out of money when the rap career is done and over with. He had to think outside the box and come up with a strategic plan to do so. He went into his think tank of executive partners and developed a team to help build additional brands based upon the name “Luda” that he is known by in the hip hop music industry. Albert G.


Sye IV, a Morehouse graduate, is the business behind Ludacris’ health drink, Ludajuice. Mr. Sye also works with the Ludacris Foundation that just gave away 20 cars to Atlanta area residents Labor Day weekend 2009.

When Ludacris needed an experienced team to launch Ludajuice as an affiliate marketing strategy, he knew to contact Albert Sye due to his reputation of his growing Atlanta based company The AGS Group. Mr. Sye received his B.A. in English in 2000 from Morehouse College and is a true “Morehouse Man” in all senses of these words in which they are used by Morehouse alumni.

While at Morehouse, Mr. Sye was involved in numerous activities that chiseled his leadership skills: Morehouse football, member and President of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, as well as being aMcNair scholar from Marquette University. In 2005, Mr. Sye was a key team member and responsible for helping to build Atlanta producer Lil Jon Crunk! energy drink to a top 20 AC Neilson brand. He handled the sales and merchandising for their number one market: Georgia and the southeast.

Mr. Sye’s background in beverages propelled him to a managing partner role in Ludacris’ Ludajuice team which is a business venture between Ludacris and XanGo formed in 2008. He also serves as a managing partner of The AGS Group. Albert’s clients include Ludacris, Cytosport/Musclemilk, and The Ludacris Foundation. Mr. Sye is also a founding partner of Make Believe Village, an entertainment production company based in Atlanta and Los Angeles, California.

Local police and community members spark open chatter to improve their relationship

Beyond the Law

CMPD and the local chapter of the N.C. Barbers Association hosted a town hall meeting at Naomi Drenan Recreation Center on March 8.

We don't want a Ferguson!"

In one form or another, this is the sentiment heard around the country in various communities that fear the very forces that exist, ideally, to keep them safe. But the Queen City? Her people took action.

In March, Charlotte's Grier Heights community had the opportunity to chat openly and honestly with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department — so openly, in fact, the event ended with an emotionally charged confrontation between 20 or so demonstrators calling for "Justice for Janisha (Fonville)" — a 20-year-old woman shot by a CMPD officer in FebruaryThe barbershop has always been the cornerstone of the black community; it's where you go to find out what's going on."

Like the quintessential Southern barbershop, Cops and Barbers is modeled to offer a place where community members can feel comfortable expressing their voices and opinions. The Barbers Association partnered with CMPD in hopes of bridging the communication gap between police and the African-American community. The next installment takes place April 12, 3 p.m. at MLK Recreation Center in Hidden Valley. A video starring some of the neighborhood's youth and local police will be featured, offering some do's and don'ts when stopped by law enforcement, with a discussion to follow.

"He sat in my chair and we talked. One of the things he said was, he had a completely different outlook about police. He said he came in [to the town hall meeting] thinking one thing, and once he had an opportunity to speak with the chief, he realized it wasn't what he thought."

league with just 39 points, worryingly one spot below their fierce city-rivals Everton; already out of both domestic cups and on the brink of elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Zenit St. Petersburg. The flashes of brilliance mentioned previously have mostly come only against teams below them in the league, with Liverpool finding it tough to beat a side above them all season. They have sometimes dominated the game against the ones placed higher throughout, but have lost the plot owing to defensive blunders and lapses in concentration galore.

Rodgers needs more Carraghers

With one of the club’s most revered servants Jamie Carragher (35) deciding to hang up his boots in the summer and Steven Gerrard now almost 33, experience and maturity is the need of theKing Kenny’s ouster. The Northern Irishman arrived at Anfield with a reputation of having done amazingly well with young talent at his previous clubs; having been Head coach of the Youth Team at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho too. He wasn’t going to treat Liverpool any different. He consistently started games with starlets like Raheem Sterling, Andre Wisdom (19), Jonjo Shelvey (20), Suso (19) and even gave 16 year-old Jerome Sinclair a substitute appearance against West Brom away in the Capital One Cup, making him the youngest player ever to represent Liverpool.

But with the season panning out the way it has, Rodgers has admitted to the necessity of better and strong-willed older players. And in this lies his ingenuity as a football team manager. On this point, Rodgers has


learnt from the mistakes of managers like Arsene Wenger, who time and again has been found guilty of placing too much of emphasis on the youth.

Rodgers seems to be learning from Wenger's 'youthful' mistakes

In the Gunners’ case, this age conundrum has been there for ages! Dazzling displays and flashy trickery aside, their young and largely inexperienced players have not been able to bring in any silverware with the help of that philosophy. Wenger nurtures his prodigies and the bigwigs prise them away at the blink of an eye. By promising to bring in relatively known faces in the summer, the 40-year old Liverpool boss is avoiding a similar legacy to that of Arsenal. Thankfully for him, he is still in Year One of reviving the Kop's fate andof players in all positions.

For every youngster, may it be in the defense, midfield or attack; they have at least one experienced player to either guide the others or to fall back on in time of need or disparity. They went out and bought Robin Van Persie from Arsenal, with the striker aged 29 at the moment. His actions and goals take United forward and at the same time inspire Javier Hernandez (24) and Danny Welbeck (22) in the process.

Ageless stalwarts like Paul Scholes (38) and Ryan Giggs (39) are the north star for the likes of upcoming midfielders Tom Cleverley (23) and Nick Powell (19). Jonny Evans (25), Chris Smalling (23) and Phil Jones (20) look like the center backs for the coming years, with Rio Ferdinand

"TESS's four cameras are tiny but mighty," she said.

"They are only about four inches (10 centimeters) across, the lenses. They could fit in a mailbox. But they are so powerful. You could have an entire constellation, like Orion, in the field of view of one of these cameras."

TESS will survey far more cosmic terrain than its predecessor, Nasa's Kepler Space Telescope, which launched in 2009.

Both use the same system of detecting planetary transits, or shadows cast as they pass in front of their star.

The new spacecraft will focus on nearby exoplanets, those in the range of 30 to 300 light-years away.

Camp Frack

Camp Frack was a huge success! It attracted activists from all around the country as well as local residents who were a big part of the camp's success. There was lots of media coverage. Have a look at the video reports below on Camp Frack, as well as footage from the demo.

The Saturday was spent with a host of lively workshops and also planning sessions to build the campaign. For some there was also time to take the message into Preston, unfurling our monster anti-fracking banner outside the County Council building before taking the message to shoppers in the centre (see photos clickable above). On Sunday the weather cheered up for our march out to the drilling rig (as close as we were allowed) - which wasled by REAF (see below) members and was fantastic fun for all. The atmosphere was full of positivity and infectious good cheer, building a real sense of solidarity between all the different groups involved (see photos and video below)

Following Camp Frack, on Wednesday 21st September, Cuadrilla Resources held a Press Conference at the Imperial hotel, Blackpool, announcing it had discovered huge amounts of gas (200 trillion cubic feet), was planning to drill at least 400 wells in Lancashire to extract it, and promising thousands of jobs would be created as a result (there may have been strong financial reasons why Cuadrilla needed to publish good results now: see here and doubts have now been cast on their claims - see here) .

Till now, a 7% tax was applicable on two-wheelers, which was the same for domestic as well as imported bikes. But after the recent tax hike, domestic two wheelers will attract a tax of 10%, while it can go to 16-20% in case of premium imported bikes.

The new tax structure was a part of the State Government's budget that was presented in March 2016. The state RTO has now updated its software according to the new tax rates, and thus every bike bought after Tuesday, June 7 2016, will be subjected to the increased taxes.

The Amazon is surprisingly sensitive to drought, according to new research conducted throughout the world's largest tropical forest. The 30-year study, published in Science, provides the first solid evidence that drought causes massive carbon loss in tropical forests, mainly through killing trees.

"For years the Amazon forest has been helping to slow down climate change. But relying on this subsidy from nature is extremely dangerous", said Professor Oliver Phillips, from the University of Leeds and the lead author of the research.

"If the earth's carbon sinks slow or go into reverse, as our results show is possible, carbon dioxide levels will rise even faster. Deeper cuts in emissions will be required to stabilise our climate."

The study, a global collaboration between more than 40 institutions, was based on the unusual 2005drought in the Amazon. This gave scientists a glimpse into the region's future climate, in which a warming tropical North Atlantic may cause hotter and more intense dry seasons.

The 2005 drought sharply reversed decades of carbon absorption, in which Amazonia helped slow climate change.

In normal years the forest absorbs nearly 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. The drought caused a loss of more than 3 billion tonnes. The total impact of the drought - 5 billion extra tonnes of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - exceeds the annual emissions of Europe and Japan combined.

Interfaith worship doubles in decade, but remains low

Interfaith worship services have doubled in the decade since the 9/11
attacks, according to a new study, even though more than seven in ten
U.S. congregations do not associate with other faiths.

The survey
released September 7 by an interfaith group of researchers found that
about 14 percent of U.S. congregations surveyed in 2010 said they have
engaged in a joint religious celebration with another faith tradition,
up from 6.8 percent in 2000.

Interfaith community service grew
nearly threefold, with 20.4 percent of congregations reporting
participation in 2010, up from 7.7 percent in 2000, according to the

Jewish congregations led the way, with two-thirds participating in
interfaith worship and three-quarters involved in interfaith community

The largest percentage of interfaith-worshiping
congregations (20.6 percent) was in the Northeast, which is home to a
disproportionate percentage of more liberal mainline Protestant
churches. About 17 percent of interfaith-worshiping congregations are in
a big city or older suburb, where greater diversity makes interfaith
activity more likely.

The study implies that the more liberal a

Approximately half of Unitarian Universalist congregations held

Rs. 1,00,786 Reward Announced on Muslim Cleric's Head for Calling Lord Shiva 'First Messenger of Islam'

Qasmi had recently made the controversial statement at a gathering at Ayodhya where he said that Lord Shiva was the first Islam Prophet.

Bareily-based socio-political group All India Faizan-e-Madina Council has announced a cash reward of Rs. 1,00,786 on Muslim cleric Mufti Mohammad Ilyas Qasmi's head. Qasmi, the leader of Jamiat Ulema Hind, had referred to Lord Shiva as the "first messenger of Islam" inciting huge controversy among the Muslim community.

Acoording to The Times of India, the All India Faizan-e-Madina Council chief Mooen Siddiqui Noori said that the cash reward and an 'Islamic' sword would be presented to a Muslim whowould succeed in killing Qasmi.

"Qasmi made these strange remarks against the Sharia on insistence from the RSS. If he really had any knowledge, his comments would be backed by the Holy Scriptures," Noori was quoted as saying.

Qasmi landed himself in trouble at a gathering in Ayodhya where he said that Lord Shiva was the first Islam Prophet. He also added that Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati are the parents of all the people, including those from the Muslim community.

"Lord Shiva is the first messenger of Muslims. We are all Indians and children of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and there should be no reservations in accepting the truth," Qasmi was quoted as saying during the gathering.

Al Siebert, PhD (Revised May, 1996)

Historical Background

Two states of mental and emotional functioning, new to the human race, were observed in Germany about 100 years ago. Nietzsche recognized the emergence of a new human he called an "Uebermensch," a new, better human with personality qualities far beyond those of the ordinary person of that time. As described by Nietzsche, this higher, advanced person was a self-created person who was emotionally "harder" than the average person in part because of having synthesized many contradictory personality dimensions. In addition, such "free spirits" were morally stronger and easily resistant to external social controls because of the development of their own individual values for living.

At the same time in Germany, Kraepelin observed the emergence of


a new, spontaneously occurring mental disorder in young people which he called "dementia praecox." A few years later, Bleuler named the phenomenon "schizophrenia" (a splitting apart of the personality) to make the diagnostic term reflect the primary symptom of the condition.

The picture drawn from the long term study of people who are life's best survivors is similar to Nietzsche's description. Such persons are seen as deriving their flexibility, resiliency, and psychological strengths from the successful assimilation of many major paradoxes into their ways of thinking, feeling, and functioning. In addition, people with survivor personalities are above average in operating independently from external social forces, in successfully defending themselves against negative, judgmental reactions to their way of existing, and in resisting efforts by others to control or change them.

Function autonomously within society according to own personal values. They are responsible rebels, cooperative non-conformists. While they can't be controlled or made to be responsible citizens, they voluntarily participate in making things run well.

Exercise a talent for serendipity. They convert misfortune into good luck. Typically refer back to the worst things that ever happened to them as being the best thing that ever happened.

The First Description

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a trained observer. He called himself a philosopher and a psychologist. He was a superb observer of the workings of the human mind, including his own, and the processes promoting or impairing clear thinking and personal improvement.

At the same time that Kraepelin, Bleuler, and other European psychiatrists were


of my writings there speaks a psychologist who has not his equal." ( Ecce Homo, p. 75)

More importantly, he understood that no one could equal him by attempting to act in the ways he described. He wanted no followers, no cult, and no believers. He saw that uniquely created, individual self-discovery was the only way to have a free spirit.

A Schizophrenic Connection

How is all this connected to the emergence of schizophrenia in Germany in the late 1800s? For a partial answer, let us look to Nietzsche himself...

On July 24, 1876, at 32 years of age, he arrived in the city of Bayreuth to attend a festival. He experienced "a profound estrangement from all that surrounded me...It was as if I had been dreaming...'Where was I?' I recognized nothing.were usually satisfied through brief encounters with street women.

deterioration from previous levels of functioning, had to take a long leave of absence from his work because of recurring physical problems, ill health, and migraine.

rejected traditional values calling himself "the Anti-Christ" waging a war on Christianity, "an immoralist," "a decadent," a "Satyr" and "by far the most terrible human being there ever has been...." A sign of his moral deterioration and loss of capacity for judgment is that he had an incestuous relationship with


unrelated, sometimes bizarre aphorisms, assertions, and metaphors.

experienced a period in which he became possessed by a personality named Zarathustra. For a year he was totally absorbed in listening to the conversations of this imaginary person and writing an account of Zarathustra's life in an imaginary world. He claimed that Zarathustra is "the highest species of all existing things." ( Ecce Homo, p. 107)

while writing about Zarathustra he could, by his own account, be seen laughing, dancing and talking to himself as he went for long walks.

showed many signs of grandiosity. Stated "It is my fate to be the first decent human being." And "I am the bringer of good tidings such as there has never been." Predicted that in the future, universities would have professorships or "chairs" endowedfor the sole purpose of studying the Zarathustra volume. Upon completion of Human, All Too Human , which he describes as a memorial of a crisis, he said he felt tremendous certainty that he held in his hands a "world-historic" book. In an autobiography he included essays on "Why I am so wise," "Why I am so clever," and "How I write excellent books." He predicted that his existence would create a crisis in the human race like none other before, stating, "I am not a man, I am dynamite." ( Ecce Homo p. 126)

His best friend and acquaintances believed that he had a mental breakdown. He interpreted that as information about how far advanced beyond their comprehensions he had become.

What Would Happen to Nietzsche Today?

in junk bonds for his Atlantic City resorts, and the tower was built on a mountain of debt owed to German banks.”

In Trump’s own telling, his fortunes turned around in 1995, when Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, the company through which he owned and operated many of his properties in Atlantic City and elsewhere, held an initial public offering. In truth, Trump’s financial struggles continued. Contrary to Trump’s own lofty predictions—he mused to Vanity Fair’s Edward Klein that the IPO might raise $4 billion—he only managed to raise $140 million; meanwhile, according to his tax returns from that year (which remain the only of Trump’s tax returns available to the public), Trump declared a loss of nearly $916 million. His businesses continued to struggle, with his casinos posting$66 million in losses by the end of 1996 and another $42 million in 1997. The problems lasted well into the 2000s: Trump’s flagship companies declared bankruptcy in both 2004 and 2009, with Trump resigning from his position as head of the board of Trump Entertainment Resorts in 2009.

Compounding Trump’s financial problems was the Wall Street stigma his business failures attracted. The Guardian has reported that, in the 1990s, “Wall Street banks, which had previously extended him credit, turned off the tap;” according to The New York Times, bankers went so far as to coin the phrase “Donald risk” to describe the widespread aversion to lending to Trump. In 2013, one banker told The Atlantic, “If a major institution in New York—whether it was a Chase or a


Goldman or a law firm or something—wanted to have a building built … I can give you almost 100 percent assurance that Donald would not be on the list.”

Amid these financial struggles, Trump turned to two notable sources of capital: Deutsche Bank and Bayrock Group. In 1998, Deutsche Bank provided Trump $125 million to renovate an office building at 40 Wall Street. More deals followed, with the bank providing or underwriting $1.3 billion to Trump entities over the next few years. Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank has not always been amicable; in November 2008, he had difficulty making payments on a $640 million Deutsch Bank loan – $40 million of which he guaranteed personally – he took out to finance the construction of the Trump tower in Chicago.tell a jogging from a hiking shoe.

Radioactive waste from Cold War nuclear weapons tests could be leaking into the Pacific Ocean.

According to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, a concrete dome that was built on Runit Island in the late 1970s to contain waste from massive atomic bomb tests conducted after World War II could be leaking toxic sludge into the sea.

"The Pacific was victimized in the past as we all know," Guterres said, according to AFP, referring to nuclear explosions carried out by the United States and France in the region.

In the Marshall Islands, many residents were forced to leave their land and thousands of others were exposed to radioactive fallout.

"I've just been with the president of the Marshall Islands [Hilda Heine], who is very worried because there is a risk of leaking of radioactive materials that are contained in a kind of coffin in the area," Guterres, who is touring the South Pacific to raise awareness about climate change, told AFP.

installed the big oval '04 Mini Cooper projector-beam headlights that were grafted into the round front fenders of the Ford. The crew also sectioned the grille several inches to make room for a functional air dam below the grille and fenders.

The '39 Ford grille is quite often less appreciated than the '40-41 design, which has a greater relationship to the passenger-car grille. As a result, the Jacksons and Russ Tilkes themed the project pickup as Fast & Ugly. From that point, the idea of a vintage NASCAR truck was born, and the name NASTRUCK stuck. Steve Haugen of Victory Illustration rendered the red truck (July '05, page 80) as a vintage race truck.

The small shop in Colorado pulled out all the fabrication skills they possessed to create avintage truck capable of 150 mile-per-hour speeds-and not just capable, but safe as well. The solid chassis foundation is a 2x4-inch rectangular tubing frame from Art Morrison. It was originally a '40 Ford passenger car chassis that the Just Dream'N crew then altered to fit the truck by cutting and modifying the front and rear framerails.

To some viewers, the little red pickup has the cute face of a Disney character, and it has made plenty of friends this summer as it has roared out of the garage and started to become a public personality. We expect the NASTRUCK to continue to make more friends and gather plenty of awards at events all over the country. However,


Each year, as the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks approaches, the country is reminded of the unprecedented losses suffered. The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) acknowledges the important milestones reached in providing support to victims and families and is especially aware of the lives that continue to be affected. The anniversary is a time for the VCF to reaffirm its commitment to the important work that still lies ahead, and to maintain strong and steady progress as the VCF seeks to award compensation to those who continue to suffer. Today, the VCF releases its statistics report and informs the community on its outreach efforts.

The VCF’s statistics report details the enormous strides the VCF has made since its reopening in 2011 and its reauthorization in2015. As of Aug. 31, the VCF has rendered over 14,000 compensation determinations, including initial awards on new claims, and revised awards on claims with amendments or appeals. These determinations total over $3 billion awarded to VCF claimants, which exceeds the original $2.775 billion authorized by Congress when the VCF reopened in 2011. In all, the VCF has compensated claims from more than 11,500 responders to the attacks in New York City, at the Pentagon, and at the Shanksville site, as well as more than 2,400 others who lived, worked, or traveled through areas of lower Manhattan and suffered physical health conditions as a result of their exposure to debris and toxins generated by the attacks and their aftermath.

“I am keenly aware that each and every one of


signed into law the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (Zadroga Act). Title II of the Zadroga Act reactivated the Sept. 11th Victim Compensation Fund. The reactivated VCF opened in October 2011 and was authorized to operate for a period of five years, ending in October 2016. On Dec. 18, 2015, President Obama signed into law a bill reauthorizing the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010. This included the reauthorization of the VCF. The new law extends the VCF for five years, allowing individuals to submit their claims until Dec. 18, 2020. The law also includes some important changes to the VCF’s policies and procedures for evaluating claims and calculating each claimant’s loss.

By Oliver Campbell

28 November 2012

Li Yuanlong, the journalist who broke the story of five homeless children being found dead in an industrial rubbish bin in Bijie, in China’s south-western province of Guizhou, has reportedly been sent on a forced “vacation.”

The children apparently died of carbon monoxide poisoning after lighting a coal fire to stay warm in the bin in which they were sleeping. Their deaths quickly became the focal point of popular hostility to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime. Bijie is a centre of coal mining, known for its high levels of poverty. The incident, along with criticism of the authorities, featured prominently on social media sites and blogs. (See: “China: Homeless children found dead in rubbish bin”).

Li Yuanlong’s reports,


using it as an analogy for the destabilising factional warfare that developed within the CCP after the arrest of former Chongqing party secretary Bo Xilai in March.

The tweet reflects widespread hostility to the political machinations that occur behind the backs of the people. The public knew little about what was going on at the very top, except that the factional struggle resulted in the exposure of massive levels of corruption in the highest echelons of the party.

A report in the Wall Street Journal stated that the Miyun detention centre in Beijing confirmed that Zhai was being detained there, and indicated that he had been arrested for writing “a micro-blog post containing false information on the Internet.” Friends of Zhai have said they have since been unable to contactseventh with a two-run single against Javy Guerra, who came in after Randy Choate gave up Rizzo’s sacrifice fly.

Joe Blanton allowed two runs and five hits, struck out five and tied a season high with three walks in his Dodgers debut. The nine-year veteran right-hander, who was acquired from Philadelphia on Friday in a trade after Los Angeles claimed him on waivers, departed with a 4-2 lead before the bullpen squandered it.

Cubs reliever Scott Maine gave up a bases-loaded walk to pinch-hitter Juan Rivera and the two-run single by Luis Cruz that put the Dodgers ahead 4-2 in the sixth. The rally began when Cubs starter Justin Germano hit Mark Ellis with a 3-2 pitch and Alberto Cabrera loaded the bases with walks to Kemp and Ramirez.

Germano was


charged with two runs and three hits in 5 1-3 innings on the eve of his 31st birthday. The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to help fortify a rotation that was depleted by the trades of Ryan Dempster and Paul Maholm on Tuesday, and a triceps issue with Matt Garza that may have kept him from being dealt away as well.

Germano’s only other start for the Cubs this season was last Monday, when he pitched five innings in a 14-4 win against Pittsburgh at Wrigley Field. The seven-year veteran was acquired from Boston in a cash deal on July 19, six days after he was designated for assignment following 16 starts for Triple-A Pawtucket.

Los Angeles tied the score 1-all in the fifth when James Loney singled andcame all the way home on a two-out double by A.J. Ellis, who had two home runs and an RBI single on Friday night in the Dodgers’ series-opening 6-1 win. But the Cubs regained the lead in the sixth on Welington Castillo’s a two-out solo homer into the pavilion seats in right-center. It was the 23rd home run allowed by Blanton, the most in the NL.

Blanton, who gave up only 18 walks over 133 1-3 innings in his 20 previous starts this season, issued one in each of the first three innings in his fourth career start at Dodger Stadium. The only one that cost him was his first-inning leadoff walk to David DeJesus, who scored on Rizzo’s one-out single. Rizzo has 21 RBIs in 33 games since


getting recalled from the minors on June 26.

Brett Jackson, the team’s No.1 draft pick in 2009 out of Cal-Berkeley, made his major league debut in center field just three days after his 24th birthday and singled twice in four at-bats after his contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa.

Third baseman Josh Vitters, the Cubs’ third overall pick in the in the 2007 draft out of Cyprus (Calif.) High School, also was recalled from Iowa and flied out as a pinch-hitter in his big league debut.

The Cubs traded reserve infielder Jeff Baker to Detroit for two players to be named, after the Tigers claimed Baker off waivers. Outfielder Tony Campana was optioned to the Cubs’ top farm club.

Reading through my Facebook feed the last several days, I see a lot of discussion about race in response to recent police violence towards black men. I feel encouraged by the people who are taking a stand against racism and by how many parents are asking for help discussing the police shootings and race with their children. There are currently resources available that help parents and teachers think about these issues at home and in the classroom.

than 250 workers, supporters and activists gathered in St Thomas's Square in Newport, the Isle of Wight, today to show Vestas management and the government that their campaign for jobs and justice for Vestas workers is far from over. The rally was led by Vestas workers who had occupied the factory for two and a half weeks in protest at the closure of their factory and the loss of 600 jobs. They ended their occupation yesterday.

Mike, one of the workers, told the rally, “We have shown that ordinary people can stand up and make a difference. I'm not an eco-warrior. I'm just a normal guy standing up for my family and for the island's economy.

“The closure doesn't just affect us, it affects the whole island. That's why it'sof the Vestas factory and onto the site. People marched to the front of the factory, which had been out of bounds because of a fence, and held a temporary sit-in in front of the doors. They demanded that the manager come out and address the workers.

There is a meeting for all workers on the Isle of Wight tomorrow evening to discuss the next stages of the campaign and to build for the national day of action on Wednesday.

He has played 36 of their league games this season and his versatility could be very important next season with him able to play at both left back and centre back. Also three goals from him this season have been an added bonus.

Midfielder Nicky Wroe has impressed me whenever I have seen him play this season and I remember him coming through at Barnsley where I thought he would become a mainstay of their side for many years to come especially after playing 35 times for them in the 2004-05 season. But unfortunately it didn’t quite work out for him, so now the


26 year old is working his way back up the leagues and scored four goals in his 37 appearances this season. He can grab a goal from midfield and he may be slightly disappointed with his return but if he gets the chance next season I think he will get a few more goals.

The top scorer James Collins will be looking forward to next season as he has proved that sometimes leaving a Premier League side, in Aston Villa, where he was never going to get a chance and joining a team in the Football League can really kick start your career. He has impressed this season and will be hoping to build on his growing reputation next year and show even more teams they should have tookagainst Crawley Town.

They were under severe pressure for most of the game especially in the first half and even in the second when they were more in the game, they only had 40% of the possession. They scored two goals from only three shots on target which shows that they have the quality upfront to punish teams even when they are underperforming.

Graham Turner proved yet again that he is one of the best managers in the division as his half time substitutes were exactly what his team needed and Marvin Morgan scored the winner after some battling work from Jermaine Grandison. Grandison won the ball and played through Morgan who cooly slotted it past the advancing keeper. Turner, realised he had to change things as his team were


alleges on information and belief that such injuries "will result in some permanent disability," and prays for general damages in the amount of $50,000, medical expenses, and other relief.
Plaintiff states in her opening brief that "The Court offered plaintiff's counsel the opportunity to amend and state that the fright and shock suffered by the plaintiff was for the fear of her own safety. Plaintiff's counsel declined[,] stating to the Court that the plaintiff suffered fright and shock as a result of being compelled to watch her infant child crushed beneath the wheels of an ice truck, and that all the fright and shock she suffered was as a result of her fear for the safety of her child, and not out of fear for her own safety." *299that as the "direct and proximate result" of seeing the collision caused by the defendant's negligence she suffered mental shock, fright, and the customary miscarriage. It was stipulated that at the time of the accident the plaintiff was in fear solely for her husband's safety and could not herself be considered in the zone of danger. A general demurrer was sustained without leave to amend. The District Court of Appeal correctly distinguished Lindley v. Knowlton (1918), supra, 179 Cal. 298, on the ground that "The case, therefore, is authority to sustain the rule that physical injury due to fright or shock as a result of fear for one's own safety is compensable. It is not, however, authority to sustain an action for damages produced by an apprehended danger


with the express reservation by this court in the three cases mentioned above, makes the Reed case a pretty weak "reed" upon which to rely as "establishing" California law.
There are other matters of principle to which reference should be made. The early law was to the effect that shock was not a recoverable item of damage. That rule had the advantage, at least, of being clear, easily understood and easy to apply. Then many states, including California, started to limit that rule by holding that shock accompanied by impact was a proper element of damage (see cases cited in majority opinion). The rule was further limited by the rule, now the law of California, that recovery for shock may properly be an item of damage even without impactcaused the damage. In the decisions, which set the rules of conduct for the enclosed feudal society, the actor bore responsibility for the damage he caused without regard to whether he was at fault or whether he owed a `duty' to the injured person. Indeed, the defendant owed a duty to all the world to conduct himself without causing injury to his fellows. It may be that the physical contraction of the feudal society imposed an imperative for maximum procurable safety, and a corresponding absolute responsibility upon its members.
"The Industrial Revolution, which cracked the solidity of the feudal society and opened up wide and new areas of expansion, changed the legal concepts. Just as the new competitiveness in the economic sphere figuratively broke out of the walls of


action may be founded upon a duty only to others.' (P. 166.)
"The point in controversy crystallizes into the issue as to who falls within the class of persons to whom respondents owed a duty. Several dangers were present when the driver negligently operated respondent ice company's truck in the vicinity of the mother and her child. There was the danger that certain persons, including the child, and possibly the mother, although she did not fear for her own safety, might be struck by the truck. There was the danger that property might be destroyed. There was the danger that certain persons might suffer physical harm as a result of fright for their own safety or for the safety of others. The foreseeability of each of these dangers constitutestruck parked at the top of a steep street with the engine running and without taking proper precautions to prevent it from moving. The truck started down the hill by itself and finally ran into the side of a house. The deceased, a pregnant woman, while walking with her children to school, saw the oncoming truck. Although, according to the court, she suffered no personal exposure to danger, she feared for the safety of her children, who had gone around a corner and were out of sight. After being informed that a little girl had been injured she discovered that the victim was her own child. Shocked by the sight of the child in the hospital, the decedent suffered a hemorrhage; ultimately both she and her unborn child

André Villas-Boas has accused the Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, of broken promises and "quitting on me" when sacking him as manager in March. Villas-Boas, who has succeeded Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur, said he would "never accept" the decision of Abramovich to dismiss him a mere eight months into his Chelsea project.

Villas-Boas insisted that he was not on any personal mission to restore his reputation at Spurs but, speaking for the first time about the heated confrontation with Abramovich in which he was fired, it was clear the frustration remains with him.

A "rigorous" air search has resumed for a US Marine helicopter declared missing in Nepal, according to the US military.

Six US Marines and two Nepali soldiers were on board the helicopter as it delivered aid to earthquake victims.

A second earthquake struck on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after an earlier one killed more than 8,000 people.

A Nepali battalion are searching on the ground, while US aircrafts work in shifts to search for the missing crew.

The air search had been halted overnight due to darkness, but resumed in the morning with the Americans deploying two Huey helicopters and two MV-22 tilt-rotor Osprey aircrafts.

The missing US team had been working in the vicinity


of Charikot, a village that has been hit hard, a spokesman for the US Pacific Command said.

The helicopter was declared missing Tuesday evening, according to Pacific Command spokesman Major Dave Eastburn.

It had been flying from Kathmandu airport as part of the US Operation "Sahayogi Haat", which means "helping hand" in Nepali.

According to the Pentagon, there was talk of "fuel issues" heard over the radio by a nearby Indian helicopter before the flight went missing in the rugged, mountainous region.

Pentagon spokesman Lt Col Jeff Poole told BBC News that the team was delivering food and shelter before it went missing.

The aircraft had dropped off supplies at one location, and was en route to a second site when contact was lost, according to Col Warren.

Pupils took in Times Square, the World Trade Centre memorial and Ellis Island during their week-long trip

The week-long trip for the Marches School in Oswestry and Sir John Talbot's in Whitchurch took in Times Square, the World Trade Centre memorial and Ellis Island.

Students got a close-up look at some of their study topics, and also heard the testimony of a police officer from the 9/11 attacks.

The trip was arranged through the Marches Academy Trust, which oversees both schools.

Mrs. Alison Pearson, associate headteacher of the Marches School, commented: “The trip was a hugely beneficial educational trip for thestudents and it allowed them to gather first-hand knowledge for their studies.

"We here at the Marches Academy Trust pride ourselves on giving the students the opportunity to attend trips in local, national and international locations, to allow all students the opportunity to attend."

The school delegates also visited the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Mr. David O’Toole, headteacher of Sir John Talbot’s School, added: “This was a fantastic trip and it was wonderful to combine with the Marches School to take the students on a cross-trust trip.

"It took the students out of their comfort zone and educated them in the history of one of the most recognisable places in the world."

Puamana Crabbe and Lindsey Shannon share the role of Pele, Jessica Haworth is Hi'iakaikapoliopele and David Hashisaka is Lohi'au. Kumu Kahua veteran Aito Simpson Steele is Kamapua'a, one of Pele's adversaries in the stories that comprise Act 1.

Oli (chant) and hula choreography by Michael Nalanakila'ekolu Casupang are certain to add to the Hawaiian ambiance.

Anyone new to Hawaii and its indigenous culture should take note that no Hawaiian god or goddess, demigod or legendary hero occupies a more prominent place in contemporary island culture than Pele, and the story of Pele, Hi'iaka and Lohi'au never loses its appeal.

In the 2011 census, the Dalit population was estimated at 200 million, and at over 260 million in 2018 . Assuming the female Dalit population at 130 million, as a group, they would form the 10th largest country. And this country would have one of the lowest, average age of death. Lower than Sierra Leone, which has been devastated by civil war and Ebola. Such is the magnitude of economic and social stresses experienced by Dalit women in India.

goods allocation within a casteist hierarchy, it would still not completely bridge the gap in life expectancy.

There are other stresses currently imposed on Dalit women, beyond access to water and sanitation services. Dalit women are more likely (compared to other women and Dalit men) to experience physical and sexual violence at home, in their immediate neighbourhoods, and at the workplace. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, four Dalit women are raped every day in India. This is an underestimate because of the under-reporting by Dalit victims as the police, magistrates, politicians, etc., tend to be dominated by upper caste men.

It is not realistic to think that Dalit women can actually change the village structure to better accommodate their rights and needs—at least not in the immediate future.At the bottom of the village totem pole, protesting and giving voice to their demands will more likely get them shunned, hurt, or killed than give them access to better governance services. The only possibility is to leave these village structures that segregate and deny Dalit women even the most basic services.

While Dalit women may want to leave, there is nowhere to go. Because of the current structure of labour laws, dis-incentivizing formal labour markets and hiring, India has an extremely asymmetric and disproportionately informal labour market. Unsurprisingly, Dalit women are also more likely to be trapped at the lowest levels in the informal labour market. Lacking the social networks that enable upward mobility in the labour market, they are often relegated to the lowest paying, hard physical

Pep Guardiola fears Gabriel Jesus will not recover from a broken bone in his foot in time for the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal - but hopes the striker can feature in the final, should the club progress.

The 20-year-old Brazilian, who was expected to return in early May, scored three goals in five appearances for City prior to sustaining a broken metatarsal in February.

"Two weeks? I think he's short," Guardiola told reporters. "Hopefully the (FA Cup) final (May 27) if we arrive there, I don't know.

"He's getting better. The last few sunny days he was on the pitch. Normally when you see the weather in Manchester, you stay off the pitch!" he added.

City have a congested fixture list at the end of April, when they play three gamesin eight days starting with the FA Cup tie against Arsenal at Wembley, followed by the Manchester derby on April 27 and a trip to Middlesbrough three days later.

However, City, who are fourth in the Premier League, will turn their immediate attention to Saturday's trip to face ninth-placed Southampton.

After diving got things started at the 2018 CIF-Southern Section Division 1 Championships on Tuesday, swimming got underway on Thursday with preliminary heats of all events. The finals will be contested on Saturday, May 12th. Below, check out recaps for both the girls and boys prelim races in Riverside.

Girls

The big story on the girls side was the performance of Santa Margarita, as they took the top seed in eight of eleven events, including all three relays.

They started it off inseed of the day went to Ventura sophomore Tea Laughlin, who knocked 1.44 seconds off her seed time to take the top spot in the 100 back (52.80). She leads the field by 1.45 seconds.

Boys

While Santa Margarita dominated the girls side, the boys had a more even spread of top seeds emerge. Loyola and Crespi led the way with three each, and Northwood had two.

Loyola was led by junior Connor Lee, who took the top seed in the 100 fly by over a second in 47.33. Despite not competing in the 100 free, he led off their 400 free relay in 44.71, a time that would’ve been fast enough for the top spot in the individual event, as the team ended up qualifying 1st in 3:03.82. He also
