(with his staff) coach, develop, instill discipline and accountability to his team.

Idzik, listens to Rex for the type of players his wants, but he relies heavily on his personnel and scouting depts in selecting the players (draft, FA, UDFA)

I just wanted to say that I don't think Rex should be the coach this year, and its not all based off of his W/L record the past two years. I can handle losing, but they have gone backwards in just about every aspect of the game.

The revolving door of coaches has to stop at some point and they need to stick with someone... I just don't think Rex was the right guy to pick.

He completely lost the team in 2011 and has never once shown any interest in offense,changes in my opinion. The Jets have maintained a lot of stability within their organization up until this point. There haven't been a lot of major shakeups since Woody Johnson became the owner.

Remember Woody took over when Belicheat resigned as the HC of the NYJ. Parcells remained with the organization for an extra year while Groh coached with essentially the same staff. Then Bill left, Groh was let go and in came The Bradway/Edwards era but Tannenbaum stayed on to run the cap and many of Parcells players were still here. That eventually transitioned into Bradway being demoted but staying in the organization and Tannenbaum taking over with Mangini. Mangini gets fired after 3 years, Mike T stays on and hires Rex. 4 years later, Mike T is

The rock is in Idzik's hands. And I'm guardedly optimistic that he won't fumble it. What he does with the draft. Player cuts. Trades and FA signings. Will give us a better glimpse of what kind of GM NYJ he might be.

The New York Jets are widely believed to be a losing franchise. As of January 12th 2013, It's been 44 years since the Jets have won a superbowl. There have been many ups and a lot more downs since that ground breaking and league changing championship in 1969. Throughout the 70's and much of the 80's, The Jets became an irrelevant franchise. Very few winning seasons or playoff seasons over the course of two decades. There were slight hiccups alongthe way where the Jets made an impact and went on runs towards a championship(1982) but there was a lot more losing than winning in those two decades.

The 90's saw the Jets start off somewhat promising only to fall badly and become a laughingstock by the time 1996 finished. It wasn't until Bill Parcells arrived in 1997, That the Jets would change course and change their culture and become a contender. Since 1997, The Jets have been a respectable and contending franchise. They won their first division title since the merger in 1970 and from 1998 to present day, The Jets have won two division titles and have made the playoffs 7 different times and have made 3 trips to the AFC Championship Game.

What was the first manga magazine?

What was the first manga magazine? And what manga are published in there? I'm curious about this, I'm only familiar with Shonen Jump and it published in Japan by Shueisha from 1970
I was wondering if there are any other manga magazines that have been published before Shonen Jump?

A:

There are quite a few manga magazines that started before Shonen Jump. Going off of this list, the earliest published manga magazine was Monthly Manga Shounen (Gekkan Manga Shounen), which started in 1947.
There are manga magazine publishing companies that predate 1947, such as Shogakukan, which was founded in 1922; Kodansha, which was formally founded in 1938; and Kadokawa Shoten, which was founded in 1945. As far as I can tell, though, none of these companies published


NIKOLA TESLA, in the opinion of authorities, today is conceded to
be the greatest inventor of all times. Tesla has more original
inventions to his credit than any other man in history. He is
considered greater than Archimedes, Faraday, or Edison. His basic,
as well as revolutionary, discoveries for sheer audacity have no
equal in the annals of the world. His master mind is easily one of
the seven wonders of the intellectual world. H. GERNSBACK.

Nikola Tesla and His Inventions

By H. Gernsback

SEVERALyears ago, in the course of a discussion, a well known
journalist asked me whom I considered at present the world's
greatest inventor. I said: "If you mean the man who really
invented, in other words, originated and discovered - not merely
improved what had already been invented by others, then without a
shade of doubt, Nikola Teslais the world's greatest inventor, not
only at present, but in all history."

My friend was much surprised and voiced his astonishment. "Surely,"
said he, "you do not mean to place Tesla ahead of such great men as
Archimedes, Faraday or Edison?"

"That is exactly what I mean," I replied, "and before twenty-five
years have elapsed the world at large will echo my opinion."

"But listen," persisted my friend, "who on earth is this man Tesla
anyway? What are his wonderful inventions, what great thing has he
ever done? How is it that the world at large does not know him?"

"To begin with, and the better to impress you," I replied, "Tesla
has secured more than one hundred patents on inventions, many of
which have proved revolutionary. Science accords to him over 75
original discoveries, not mere mechanical improvements. Tesla


committed
the unpardonable crime of not having a permanent press agent to
shout his greatness from the housetops. Then, too, most of Tesla's
inventions, at least to the public mind, are more or less
intangible on account of the fact that they are very technical and,
therefore, do not catch the popular imagination, as, for instance,
wireless, the X-ray, the airplane, or the telephone."

The trouble with Nikola Tesla is that he lives a century ahead of
his time. He has often been denounced as a dreamer even by well
informed men. He has been called crazy by others who ought to know
better. For Tesla talks in a language that most of us do not as yet
understand. But as the years roll on Science more and more
appreciates his greatness, and begins to pay him tribute more and
more.

Inwith a note from him for the
first time elsewhere in this issue of the Electrical Experimenter
And so it goes. The world smiles an unbelieving smile, but Tesla's
master mind invariably sets the world aright.

I first read about Tesla in a well-known German weekly publication
when I was less than 15 years old. The Editor of that publication
reproduced his picture on a full page and paid high tribute to
Tesla, hailing him as the world's coming greatest electrician. H.
W. Buck, Chief Engineer, President of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers, among others, said: "The work of Nikola Tesla
in his great conception of his rotary field seems to me one of the
greatest feats of imagination which has ever been attained by human
mind."

Lord Kelvin, before the British Association, commenting upon the
Tesla Transformer exhibited, said: "This


is a wonderful development
of the induction coil destined to be of great importance."

Electrical Review, commenting upon the wireless : "Mr. Tesla's
researches in this field have attracted world-wide attention, and
his is undoubtedly the master mind."

Der Electro-Technische Anzeiger, Berlin, and Elektrizitat, Leipzig,
Germany, (commenting upon Tesla's work) : "It is a combination of
the grandest power of technical performance with the most vivid
imagination, such as has never before manifested itself in the
human mind."

Brigadier Allen, of the United States War Department Commenting
upon Tesla's Turbine): "Something new in the world. Officers are
greatly impressed with it."

While studying abroad I read every scrap of his work I could lay my
hands on. I performed most of his high frequency experiments, and
the more I saw of his work the more imprest I became.

Some years ago as Editor ofModern Electrics, I met him in a New
York shop where his famous turbine models were first built. I was
fascinated with the tall, gaunt man, then about 50 years old, but
looking less than 30. His extraordinary face, with his deep set
blue eyes, proclaimed the intense thinker - the philosopher. A few
minutes chat with him left me more than ever convinced of his
greatness.

Further contacts during the past few years still enhanced my
opinion of him. Tesla is a man of extraordinary knowledge. He is
remarkably well read and has a photographic memory whereby it is
possible for him to recite page after page of nearly every
classical work, be it Goethe, Voltaire or Shakespeare. He speaks
and writes twelve languages. He is an accomplished calculator, who
has little use for tables and text-books and holds the


sliding rule
in contempt. Tesla has received numerous honors and distinctions of
all kinds. He is a knight of several orders, holder of many titles
and diplomas. Some time ago he was awarded the Elliott Cresson gold
medal by the Franklin Institute and last year the Edison medal by
the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

Many extraordinary distinctions have been offered to him which he
has declined. As of timely interest one instance may be mentioned.
At the announcement of Tesla's high frequency discoveries, while
the former Emperor of Germany was all-powerful and great men were
eager for his favors, Tesla received an invitation from him and the
Empress to repeat his celebrated experiments at the Royal Palace in
Berlin. He forgot all about it and did not answer for one year,
when he politely apologized for his inability to availhimself of
the honor. Later the invitation was renewed and nearly two years
past before Tesla answered to the same effect. After a lapse of
time, however, upon the announcement of another important
invention, he received the invitation for the third time, with the
assurance that an altogether unusual honor was reserved for him.

"Well, boys," said Tesla to his assistants after he laid the
invitation which he never answered aside, "the Emperor must be a
great man. I do not think that I would be capable of acting in this
way if I were in his place." Perhaps the most remarkable tribute
was paid to him when he made his famous experiments in Colorado in
1899. It was by J. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, who donated
$150,000, which enabled Tesla to produce artificial lightning and
incidentally to electrify the entire


earth.

Some of Tesla's inventions have been of far-reaching importance in
the War. The resources and productive powers of the country have
been greatly increased thru extended use of his system of
alternating current transmission and transformation of energy.
Nearly ten million horsepower of water falls have been harnest by
this means, thus saving forty percent of the entire coal output of
the United States.

The railroads have been electrified and his induction motor has
revolutionized the steel industry and operation of factories. His
electric drive has been adopted on the largest cruisers and
battleships as the most perfect means of propulsion.

His wireless inventions have proved indispensable and his
oscillatory apparatus has been of inestimable service in
chirurgical and therapeutic treatment in the field.

The technical prints abound with his work, his inventions, his
discoveries.

The following is only a partial list of termslying the nation into a failed war against a nation that had never attacked us and had no ability to attack us even it had so desired, to spying on American citizens, to authorizing torture ... the list is nearly endless. But the Bush Administration was defined by the September 11 terrorist attacks. The media even allowed the Bush Administration to cast itself as heroes because of its response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. All of it wrong. And so to reiterate ...

Just a month before the 9/11 attacks, while on a month long vacation, Bush was personally handed a presidential daily briefing titled:

Bin Laden determined to strike in US.

All right. You've covered your ass, now.

With characteristic intelligence and class, Bush responded with the words:And went fishing.

LA Confidential

LA Confidential is a 1997 crime film directed and witten by Curtis Hanson and was co-written by Brian Helgeland. Based on the book of the same name by James Ellroy, it has become one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed films of modern cinema, winning two Oscars at the 1998 Academy Awards.

Story

Taking place in 1950's Hollywood, the set-up finds a group of three cops trying to solve a mass murder that gives way to a larger conspiracy. That's the condensed version of a complex plot.

While the story gets rolling once we're in the main mystery it takes awhile to get off the ground. There's a lot of time dedicated to character set-up, probably more than necessary. It definitely requires at least a second viewing because ofthe enemy hard and most of the victory objectives is under my control. They are counterattacking in mass and the KG digs in.

On my right flank I have deployed three STUG III on some dirt roads close to some houses at the outskirts of a small village. There is about 150-200m of open terrain before a treeline cuts the LOS with light wood behind it. The Stugs I thought would be out of the battle acting as a reserve. A fourth Stug is a few hundred meters back inside the village if anything was to happen.

Suddenly to my surprise, this far down T-34/85's suddenly roll out of the trees trying to outflank my KG and rolls directly in to my Stugs who takes them on. Fire is exchanged


smacked. No way! I got the eiree feeling that history was repeating it self.

I later realized that although the Russians where dug in close to their objectives they had a few scattered squads deployed all along the front. My KG had apparently passed between them by sheer luck. But as their objectives fell to my troops they where activated and fell back just as my slow Ferdinande rolled by. One of them apparently starting to run after my Ferdinand and managed to catch up with him. It was a depressing fact effectively ending my use of Ferdinand/Elefants in my KG.

Mid of a Eastern Front Campaign Ger Vs Rus:

I got a mission on a meeting engagement and a report telling me that I had to cross a river. Loadingup with some extra barge carrying trucks I begun the game. Due to the extremely limited setup zone, heavy woods on rough with two dirt roads leading up to a 300m wide river that cut the map in half my KG bogged down with only some scout elements and Pz IV's managing to break loose. The rest of the KG had a long slow ride infront of them.

With still some 5-6 turns of movement between the front units and KG, the separated group reached the river. The small force was taking fire almost immediately as they reached the coast line. A few T-34/76's and a one or two KV-1 stood on the other shoreline engaging my long and less effective short barreled PzIV's. The Pz IV's scattered and


For every 100 females, there were 106.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 104.2 males.

The median income for a household in the town was $30,625, and the median income for a family was $36,250. Males had a median income of $28,750 versus $25,938 for females. The per capita income for the town was $16,283. About 3.8% of families and 3.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 7.7% of those under the age of eighteen and none of those sixty five or over.

Decent read

Steven Spielberg: A Biography was written by Joseph McBride and first published in 1993 before being updated in 2011. Spielberg is the most famous film director in the world but always seems like a slightly vague character in real life (Woody Allen, for example, is notoriously private but I feel like I've heard Allen talk about his own life and work far more than Spielberg) so makes an interesting subject for a biography I think. He was the youngest director to ever be given a contract by a major studio and is responsible for some of the highest grossing films of all time (Jaws, Indiana Jones, E.T, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park). As he got older, Spielberg started to make more dramatic films like


interviewed, the biographer was deemed to be kosher and so managed to get a decent amount of sources from which to frame his book. His main solution to the Spielberg puzzle though was to talk to people who knew the director when he was growing up. He asserts that personality is formed in childhood and formative years are the key to understanding someone. So nearly half of the biography is taken up by Spielberg's childhood and early years and while I usually find the start of biographies deadly dull and yearn to skip forward the early years of Spielberg are surprisingly engrossing and provide a plausible explanation for the core themes that would feature in his films.

Spielberg's parents did not have a happy marriage (they split up whenhe was around college age) and his father was often absent. The family moved around a lot so Spielberg always felt like an outsider and he also experienced anti-Semitism. Many of Spielberg's films feature men who are detached from their family or children who have an absent father or no father at all. His outsider perspective was responsible for his early penchant for making films from the perspective of a lonely child (most famously E.T). He also used this device to generate a sense of wonder and try to make the audience feel like children again too. His father was an electrical engineer and worked on computers (obviously computers were very different back then) and so it was this that gave Spielberg his love of technology and gadgets


and access to a Super 8 camera when he was eight years old. He would make Westerns with it and cast his friends in his amateur films. McBride says Spielberg's grades were not good enough for the best universities but it didn't really matter that he did a lesser film course. His talent was always very apparent from the amateur films he shot himself. One thing I found interesting here was that the author debunks the story about Spielberg just sneaking in uninvited at Universal Studios and moving into an empty office he found. The truth was far less brazen and far more prosaic. Spielberg's father used his influence to get him a job as an editor at Universal and once he had his feet under the table(so to speak) it was obvious that he was remarkably talented for his age. If anything, we gather that Spielberg was regarded to be something of a freak. This geeky young twentysomething directing no lesser figure than Joan Crawford in an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery for the studio. It was certainly unusual for someone so young to be in such a position.

The main appeal of the book though I think is when we move into Spielberg's film career and his astonishing rise in the mid to late seventies. He put himself on the map with the television film Duel and his first theatrical feature Sugarland Express but it was of course Jaws in 1975 that made Spielberg a hot ticket and in a position to do


anything he wanted to. I love reading about Jaws and McBride is very good when it comes to the film stuff. Much better than someone like John Baxter for example. Jaws was an adaptation of a potboiler thriller novel by Peter Benchley and wasn't really expected to be the huge success that it became. The shoot was incredibly troubled and went over schedule and over budget - mostly because the mechanical shark they were given kept conking out and frequently proved to be useless. Spielberg took to calling the mechanical contraption "the giant turd" during the aquatic sequences and had his hands full trying to get any footage at all that looked good. It was remarkable really that with all these problems and his tender age he managedto deliver one of the greatest films ever made. One thing you do gather from the biography is how savvy the young Spielberg was in declining to direct the sequel to Jaws (despite great pressure from the studio) and deciding to make Close Encounters of the Third Kind instead. He's not even thirty and he has two of the biggest grossing films of all time on his CV. It seems fairly obvious in hindsight but it's interesting to read how the actor Richard Dreyfuss was his alter ego and essentially played Spielberg in both Jaws and Close Encounters. This is like the golden age of Spielberg. When his overblown World War 2 comedy 1941 is a box-office dud and critical misfire he makes Raiders of the Lost Ark


take him seriously when he tried to mature and make more dramatic films. McBride mounts a impassioned defence of The Color Purple and Empire of the Sun as underrated films although he is not always too keen on the later work. The author is a little pretentious now and again ("The film focuses constantly on issues of communication, another key Spielberg theme; in place of the musical tones in Close Encounters that enable the extraterrestrial visitors to communicate with earthlings, the visitors from another continent in Amistad manage to make a human connection once their insular American sympathizers finally take the trouble to learn their language...") but I enjoyed being taken through these pictures in forensic detail. I was a trifle surprised though that he critiques the violencein the Indiana Jones series and Jurassic Park. These films are essentially comic book and fairly harmless I think. The section on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (which the author loathes) is fascinating because the film was made during a period when Spielberg and Lucas were going through divorces and both in a foul depressed mood. The surprisingly dark tone of the film (the infamous heart plucking scene and other delights inspired the PG-13 MPAA rating in the United States) was a direct result of their mood.

There is far too much to mention in a review but if you like reading about films you'll find much of interest (and it's a big book too at over 400 pages). The author gives The Lost World a (probably


deserved) kicking but is surprisingly kind to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (a film absolutely despised by fanboys). Other things I found interesting? The section on the ill-fated 1983 big screen Twilight Zone film where Spielberg and three other directors each directed a different segment. The film is most famous for a horrific helicopter accident on the set which killed actor Vic Morrow and two (illegally hired) child actors during the shooting of the John Landis contribution. The tragic event led to a ten year manslaughter case. The strange thing is though, that despite being the producer, Spielberg was not required to appear in court once despite many people from the film being called to testify. The author says it is a perfect illustrationof how Spielberg has manage to insulate himself and keep the press at a distance. The other notable topic here I think is Schindler's List, Spielberg's acclaimed Holocaust drama. He actually got the rights in 1982 but it took him ten years to summon up the courage to tackle the film. The author says that a big part of him doing it was that he had completely embraced his Jewishness when he got older. When Spielberg was growing up he was awkward about his Jewish heritage and family when he had his WASP friends round the house and it made him feel different and even more of an outsider. Steven Spielberg: A Biography is an interesting and well written read if you are interested in films and filmmakers


an easy read that’s not over run with detailed gossip,more of an account of his life than any real vitriol that some of these biographers carry around. He was born in a Jewish neighborhood in 1946 Cincinnati to an electrical engineer father and pleasant mom. His dads work took them around 50s America until they settled in a similar district in Avondale, Phoenix. Desert life suited the young Spielberg and his fascination for his dad’s electronic gadgets soon lead to cameras and film. His dad bought him a super 8 camera for his 10th birthday, which was the seed for the twentieth century’s most successful director to begin his craft. He used his film prodigy status at a young age to avoid his obligatory Jewish taunts and beatings.hewould cast the thugs in his basic school movies to endear them to him. This tactic worked so well that soon he came a hit with their ladies. His dad Arnold cradled that camera and made amateur movies right up until his death. He breezed through Long Beach college with his love of film, but the ambitious young film maker wasn’t keen on waiting around for it to happen, and hung around the big Los Angeles studios trying to meet the famous movie directors and moguls of the day for tips and experiences. He was also trying to push Firelight Express, a younger version of Close Encounters. He eventually got an assistant job to one of the top Jewish producers, with an office he wasn’t supposed to have.


Because there were so many empty rooms on the lots, he took it on himself to procure one for himself. This sort of ultrapanurial spirit bumped him up the order of the young hot and innovative directors, he was quickly on a studio TV and small film deal after the main players at Universal were bowled over by his 35mm film called Amblin. I showed heartfelt sentimentality, and reflective instinct, which is a trademark of his films through out. The story was about two young people that fall in love when they hitchhike to the West Coast of America.But by the time they get there, they have lived the whole span of the world wind romance and know they will never see each other gain. The young teenwas directing famous stars in TV projects and claims to be the youngest ever director of a feature film in America at 21 years. His TV movie duel made him hot news in film circles and was followed by the harrowing Sugarland Express, which really grabbed critical acclaim. The book takes too many pages of its 400 hundred to set the scene off a young Spielberg in Hollywood and theres Jewish feel to the whole flow. He married “in-house” to sexy Miss Irving,a semi successful actress in the late 70s.Yet again another example of why the Jewish race are so successful as an ethnic minority around the world.Fair play to them I say. Well you all know what came next as the book reels of some great anecdotes


to reel of the summer months whilst boring tennis is on.

Product Details

This biography sets out to reconcile Steven Spielberg's seeming contradictions to produce a portrait of a man who found a way to transmute the anxieties of his childhood into dramatic films which are among the most commercially-successful of all time. They include Jaws, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and the Oscar-winning Schindler's List, which was the culmination of Spielberg's struggle with his Jewish identity, of which he had long been ashamed.Factors influencing the future need for treatment of root surfaces.
This paper discusses the current status of root surface caries in the elderly population and the need for treatment of this condition in the future. Although root surface exposure and root caries have been reported for adults at all ages, the people at greatest risk for these conditions are the elderly. In the United States, life expectancy and the population aged 65 years and older has increased substantially, and the proportion of the elderly population who are dentate has increased and is projected to increase further. Utilization of dental services by the elderly is similar to that of employed adults. Interpretation of studies of the prevalence and incidence of root surface caries are difficult due to differences in sampling,

Elizabeth's life was troubled because she is an unwanted daughter of King Henry VIII. Her father wanted to have a son with his second missus which is Anne Boleyn but Anne failed, she gave birth to Elizabeth instead. Elizabeth was born on 7 September 1533 at Greenwich Palace. Her birth was possibly


the greatest disappointment of her father's life. He had wanted a son and heir to succeed him as he already had a daughter, Mary, by his first missus, Katherine of Aragon. He had not divorced Katherine, and changed the religion of the country in the process, to have only another daughter. Elizabeth's early life was consequently troubled. Her mater failed to provide the King with a son and was executed on false charges of incest and adultery on 19 May 1536. Anne's marriage to the King was declared null and void, and Elizabeth, with her half-sister, Mary, was declared illegitimate. Her father's killing of her succeeding stepmothers traumatized Elizabeth. There was Jane Seymour, the third mater, who died after giving birth to the King's only son, Edward. Whenthe king died in the January of 1547, and his young son became King Edward VI, but he is still nine years old at that time so Edward Seymour, became Protector of England. Then the throne goes to Mary then to Elizabeth's succession.

Queen Elizabeth I was crowned Queen on Sunday 15th January 1559. In the months that followed, the new Queen re-established the Protestant Church and restored the debased coinage. Queen Elizabeth I ruled from 1558 to 1603. She was the last of the Tudor monarchs. Elizabeth was impatient to become queen; she had, after all, both a brother and a sister before her in the queue to the throne. Yet Queen she became and to many historians she is the greatest monarch that England has ever had.


When Elizabeth became Queen she was faced with several dilemmas. Firstly she was not married, and again the question of the succession rises. Would Elizabeth be the baked bean Elizabeth who persecuted the Catholics or be a peacemaker and allow people to have personal choice? There was also the problem of her sister's husband, Phillip. As King of Spain he was a fearsome foe and he had a bleedin' smashing bagsie to the throne. More worryingly he was intent on keeping England Catholic. This meant that war was likely. Elizabeth's success as a Queen is a measure of how well she overcame each of these problems.

There was war with Spain. England defeated the Spanish Armada and became a world power as a result. Explorations into the Americas anda dog's bollocks deal of legitimized piracy saw England become wealthier. The Religious persecutions ended: Elizabeth's reign saw just for executions for heresy as compared to the 280 in Mary's reign. The problem of marriage and the succession was one that was not overcome. There are many theories as to why Elizabeth chose not to marry and many names of supposed husbands to be. Elizabeth did manage to use these for political advantage however, playing the Spanish of against other major powers. She also managed to contain the catholic threat to her monarchy. Mary Stuart, queen of Ecosse and a claimant to the pommy throne, was forced to beg Elizabeth to protect her. She was later executed after being implicated in a plot to overthrow Elizabeth. At the


end of her reign Queen Elizabeth ruled over an England that was stronger politically and wealthier than it had been four hundreds of years. England 's ruled the waves and was a major world force. She died at Richmond Palace on the 24th March 1603. Until Her death Elizabeth never had a husband or was married and did also have no children. (Elizabeth I Biography, 2008)

Alexandrina Victoria was the only wean of the fourth son of King George III: Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of George III. Her mater was Victoria Maria Louisa of Saxe-Coburg, sister of King Leopold of the Belgians.
Victoria became heiress apparent of the British crown. Her father died right after her birth. She became heir to the throne because of her three uncles;George IV, Frederick Duke of York, and William IV, of which they do not have a legitimate children who survived. She became Queen of Stonking, Britain. She was crowned the next year. During her reign, it was associated with Britain's great age of economic progress, industrial expansion and empire.

She tested the limits of her royal powers when the government of Lord Melbourne, her Prime Minister, who had been her mentor, fell the next year. She refused to follow precedent and dismissed her ladies of the bedchamber so that the Tory government could replace em. Her refusal brought back the Whigs until 1841.
She'd met her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, when they were both seventeen. When they were twenty, he returned to England, and Victoria, in love


with him, proposed marriage. They were married on February 10, 1840.

Their first child, a daughter, was born in November 1840, and the Prince of Wales, Edward, in 1841. Three more sons and four more daughters followed.
Victoria had traditional views on the role of the barney rubble and strife and mater, and though she was Queen and Albert was Prince Consort, he shared government responsibilities at least equally. His death in 1861 devastated her; her prolonged mourning lost her much popularity (Sachar L.,1989)

Eventually coming out of seclusion, she maintained an active role in government until her death in 1901. Her reign, the longest of any British monarch, was marked by waxing and waning popularity -- and suspicions that she preferred the Germans a bit too much always diminished herpopularity somewhat. By the time she had assumed the throne, the British monarchy was more figurehead and influence than it was a direct power in the government, and her long reign did little to change that.

During her lifetime she published her Letters, Leaves from the Journal of our Life in the Highlands and More Leaves.

The marriage of her daughters into other royal families, and the likelihood that her children bore a mutant gene for hemophilia, both affected the following generations of European history. (about.com, 2008)
Monarchy has really been the dog's bollocks role in the United Kingdom. The queens, kings, prince and princes have a dog's bollocks influence to the people. Monarchy system of government in which one person reigns, usually a king or queen. The authority, or crown,


in a monarchy is generally inherited. The ruler, or monarch, is often only the head of state, not the head of government. An example of this kind of government is the United Kingdom.

Queen Elizabeth is one of the monarch of England as well as with Queen Victoria. These two queens have notice cultures just fancy Queen Victoria who really give a sterling importance to the morality of herself and her people while Queen Elizabeth have freedom of the British people to choose their own religion and to eradicate catholic persecution, the bring back the pride of the country. They are same y because the both of em possess noice culture. But they r different from the kind of life that they hae, because Queen Victoria hae a morepeaceful and chuffed childhood even though she's been trough to a lot of circumstances. Queen Elizabeth is full of troble from the day she was born because her doesn't fancy her and she's also been through to a lot of stepmothers. In terms wars they r also different because during Queen Victoria's time they encountered a war because they wanted Transvaal to be their extension or they conducted the war 4 the sake of their own. While during the time Queen Elizabeth war was encountered by the people of engerland because they just want to be free. from Spain, who treat em unkindly. Economy is bleedin' important to a certain gaff because these queen hae a sterling abilities to rule so they've rise the economic condition of engerland

Former Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind said he was relieved the Liberal Democrats had finally done the honourable thing in putting Cameron into Number 10, after first acting honourably in negotiating with the Tories and then covering themselves in dishonour by negotiating with Labour. "I am glad Mr Clegg has acknowledged our right to rule, so cruelly denied for 13 years," said the veteran Tory, adding, "The lower parties must learn their place."

Meanwhile David Miliband revealed he, and all the other candidates for the Labour leadership, were "saddened" by news of the coalition, before telling anyone who would listen they could quote "senior Labour sources" as beingready to swing behind his campaign just as soon as it was deemed appropriate to start campaigning.

Nigel Farage has given the clearest indication yet that he may run again for the UKIP leadership.

Mr Farage did not commit himself, but refused to rule out leading the party again, raising doubts about who was really in charge of the United Kingdom Independence Party.

A political appointee, UKIP's new leader Lord Pearson has never held elective office. He became UKIP leader after former leader Farage made it clear he expected the party to elect him.

Rival parties were quick to label Lord Pearson a "puppet". Analysts are divided over whether Lord Pearson's public statements are carefully co-ordinated by Farage as part of a "good-cop/bad-cop strategy", or whether their collaboration hides


tensions behind which Pearson and Farage represent different interest groups with different views on what direction UKIP should take.

Farage oversaw a surge in UKIP's poll ratings since taking over the leadership of the party in 2006. His half-naked poses in calendar shoots have been popular with the nation's women, and his name and image are used widely in marketing and advertising campaigns, including his own vodka brand.

But he has attracted criticism, notably including British chess supremo Nigel Short. The chess champ turned political activist said Farage had silenced critics within UKIP, and his iron control over the internal disciplinary units of the party had killed free speech.

Momentum for a referendum on PR to be conducted at the same time as the next General Election has"not just once, but every election."

But there were worries that without a system of open primaries to decide which systems went to the vote, a referendum could place too much power in the hands of intellectuals, who would limit the range of options from which the electorate could choose.

Tory leader David Cameron quickly announced he backed all the options, and would "strongly consider" them if elected.

J.    In February, 2009, a jury convicted the

defendant, Derek Woollam, of murder in the first degree on a

theory of deliberate premeditation in connection with the

shooting death of John Oliveira in July, 2006.1    In this appeal,

the defendant asserts error in the unauthorized presence of

police officers in the grand jury room during the presentation

of witness testimony in support of the indictments against him,

as well as the admission of certain evidence at trial due to

ineffective assistance of counsel and prosecutorial misconduct.

He also seeks relief under G. L. c. 278, § 33E.     After full

consideration of the record and the defendant's arguments, we

affirm his convictions and the denial of his motion for a new

trial, and we decline to grant extraordinary relief pursuant to

G.L. c. 278, § 33E.

     Background.     We summarize the evidence that the jury could

have found, reserving certain details for discussion of specific

issues.

     1.   The drug operation.    In 2006, John Oliveira ran a

large-scale drug operation out of a studio apartment in a duplex

in Swansea.     At the time of his death, he had two "employees":

the defendant, who delivered marijuana to customers and

collected the money; and Dylan Hodgate, who broke down the

     1
       Derek Woollam was also convicted of trafficking in a
controlled substance.


defendant, the girl friend, and Hodgate were

prohibited from being under the influence of drugs.

    In January or February of 2006, Oliveira's girl friend

discovered that the defendant was using drugs, and began

procuring pills from him.    The defendant and Oliveira's girl

friend agreed not to tell Oliveira about their use of pills.

Over the course of several months, the relationship between

Oliveira and the defendant deteriorated.    Oliveira complained to

his girl friend that the defendant was "never on time," was "a

slacker," and "wasn't doing what he was supposed to do."

    2.    The shooting.   On July 4, 2006, Oliveira discovered a

text message from his girl friend on the defendant's cellular

telephone (cellphone) asking the defendant for pills.  that he was "pissed," and that he would be coming

by the apartment to discuss the matter, warning her "not [to]

lie."

    Later that night, although Oliveira and his girl friend had

seemingly resolved the matter, he was still angry with the

defendant.    At approximately 12:15 A.M., Oliveira received a

telephone call and told his girl friend that he was going to

pick up Hodgate and would be right back.   He never returned.

    The last call made from Oliveira's cellphone was to

Hodgate's cellphone at 1:28 A.M.    At approximately 1:43 A.M., a

Swansea police officer on routine patrol saw a black Mercury

Sable (the make, model, and color of the defendant's automobile)

pull out of the driveway of the house with two people inside.


   The next morning, Oliveira's girl friend saw Oliveira's

automobile in the driveway.    The interior door to the studio

apartment was locked, and there was no answer when she knocked.

This was unusual because Hodgate was normally supposed to be

there during the day.    She was unable to reach Oliveira, the

defendant, or Hodgate by telephone despite many attempts over

the course of the day.    When she returned later that afternoon,

Oliveira's automobile was in the same spot.    When she knocked on

the studio apartment door, there was still no answer, and she
                                                                    5

noticed that the television inside was abnormally loud.

Eventually, she discovered that the exterior back door to the

studio apartment was unlocked.    When she entered, she found

Oliveira's body lying in a pool of blood.    He had been shot

several times and was cold to the touch.

    An autopsy revealed that Oliveira had been shot four times.

Two shots to the head were fatal:    one bullet entered through

the left cheek, and a second entered through the right forehead.

The location and path of


a third bullet, which entered the lower

right side of his torso, was consistent with Oliveira having

been shot while lying on his back.    The fourth bullet grazed the

back of his head.

    3.   The aftermath.   Soon after Oliveira's girl friend

discovered the body, the defendant arrived.     Before the police

were called, the defendant removed marijuana in large duffel

bags from the studio apartment and left with them in his black

four-door automobile.

    Over the next few days, the defendant enlisted help from

others to distribute the marijuana that came from the studio

apartment, and to clear out a storage locker in his name

containing guns and ammunition.     He also removed the batteries

and subscriber identity module (SIM)cards from his cellphones

to avoid being tracked.   He admitted to one of the people who

assisted him, Michael Pacheco, that he killed the victim because
                                                                     6

he believed that the victim was going to kill him after learning

about the pills, and that Oliveira suspected that the defendant

was having an affair with Oliveira's girl friend.     One to


two

weeks later, the defendant and Pacheco went together to burn a

bag containing the sneakers and clothes from the night of the

shooting.

    4.   The defendant's case.    The defendant, who testified at

trial, denied killing the victim.    He also attacked the

credibility of the Commonwealth's witnesses and cast doubt on

the thoroughness of the police investigation, as well as the

conclusiveness of the physical evidence, noting that the

Commonwealth did not produce incriminating fingerprint or

deoxyribonucleic acid evidence.     Finally, he also raised the

possibility of a third-party culprit, which included Hodgate,

Mexican drug dealers, and a tall, white male who hung around a

local bar.

    Discussion.    The issues that the defendant raises in his

direct appeal are the samethat the defendant told

her that, if Oliveira ever found out that the defendant was

using drugs, Oliveira would "kill" him.   The defendant himself

testified that he and Oliveira argued in the early evening of

July 4 about the pills, and again later that night before

Oliveira was killed.   The Commonwealth posited that the

defendant killed Oliveira because he wanted to avoid losing his

position or other negative consequences, and because he was

tired of following Oliveira's rules.    The defendant's feelings

were laid bare when, upon telling one witness that Oliveira was

dead, he told her that he hoped Oliveira would "rot[] in hell."

    b.   Opportunity and means.   The jury also could have found

that the defendant had both the opportunity and the means to

commit


the crime.   Oliveira was shot and killed in the studio

apartment, and there were no signs of a break-in.    Only three

people had keys to that apartment where the marijuana was kept:

Oliveira, the defendant, and Hodgate.   The location of the

studio apartment, which was used as a stash house, was secret.

No one was allowed to be there except the three above-mentioned
                                                                 15

men and Oliveira's girl friend.7

     The defendant told a witness that he was at the studio

apartment arguing with Oliveira sometime between midnight and 1

A.M. on July 5.   His automobile was seen leaving the premises at

1:43 A.M.   When Oliveira's girl friend attempted to enter the

studio apartment from the common hallway of the duplex the next

morning, she found it locked, despite the fact that the interior

door was usually left unlocked.    A witness who owned the

business next door to the duplex observed a black four-door

automobile parked in the driveway for a few minutes at

approximately 1 P.M.   When Oliveira's girl friend returned later

in the afternoon, the volume on the television inside the studio

apartment was turned up unusually


high, and, while the interior

door was still locked, the exterior door to the studio apartment

had been left unlocked, which was unusual given the rules about

securing the stash house location.

     Finally, there was evidence that the defendant had access

to firearms.   He asked one acquaintance to remove the firearms

from a storage unit in his name.    The defendant told an

acquaintance that he owned two nine millimeter firearms.

     7
       Although the defendant pressed the theory of a third-party
culprit throughout the trial, the odds of a third-party culprit
other than Hodgate knowing about the location of, and being able
to access, the studio apartment to shoot Oliveira are
negligible. Hodgate was tried and acquitted of the killinghave discovered the

body.    The defendant testified that he discovered Oliveira's

body at approximately 3:15 P.M. on July 5.    Despite this, the

defendant did not attempt to telephone Oliveira after 1:28 A.M.,

even after Oliveira's brother telephoned the defendant looking

for Oliveira.   Nor did the defendant answer calls from

Oliveira's girl friend that day.

    Once Oliveira's body was discovered, the defendant's

primary concern was moving the marijuana and firearms and

disabling his telephones so that he could not be located.

    Finally, the defendant told different stories to different

parties in the aftermath of the shooting, including, but not

limited to, telling Oliveira's girl friend that he did not know

what happened and telling another associate that he and Oliveira

got into an altercation with two men


that he

shot Oliveira in the head, and again in the chest because

Oliveira would not die.     This account was corroborated by the

testimony of the medical examiner who testified that (1)

Oliveira was shot both in the head and in the torso; (2) the

shot in the torso was consistent with Oliveira lying on his back

at the time; and (3) when a person is shot in the head, he or

she would lose consciousness but might have involuntary movement

of the extremities, consistent with the defendant's account of

how the victim "wouldn't die."

     Further, Pacheco's testimony that the defendant burned

items he wore on the night of the shooting was corroborated by

the fact that, months later, investigators found the burned

remains of sneakers and a zipper fly and, separately,           18

the back of the head, which was a detail that the medical

examiner was able to ascertain only upon shaving Oliveira's head

in preparation for the autopsy.   The defendant also indicated to

two people that he thought that two different types of firearms

were used in the shooting, including a nine millimeter and a

higher-powered firearm, based on the size of the bullet holes.

The medical examiner was not able to conclude that two different

caliber firearms were used merely by examining the body;

however, he recovered a small caliber projectile consistent with

a bullet from a .22 caliber firearm from Oliveira's head, and

two projectiles consistent with a nine millimeter firearm from

underneath and beside Oliveira's body.

     Given the significant evidence


The consideration Pacheco

     10
       After Pacheco's grand jury testimony, the Commonwealth
relocated him to an undisclosed address and paid his rent for a
period of time as a result of a credible threat in connection
with his cooperation in this case. In exchange for the
relocation benefits, Pacheco agreed that, if called, he would
testify truthfully at any future hearings or trial.
                                                             205 (2011).

    We summarize the facts as the motion judge found them.      Two

days after Oliveira's death, after consultation with his

attorney, the defendant voluntarily went to the Swansea police

station to be interviewed by a Swansea police detective and

police officer and a State police trooper.    At the beginning of

the interview, the detective, who conducted the questioning,

informed the defendant of his Miranda rights, which he indicated

that he understood.    The defendant told the investigators that

he would talk about "[s]ome things . . . but not everything."

In response, the detective told him that he could refuse to

answer any question.   During the interview, which lasted for

approximately forty-five minutes, the detective spoke in a calm

and even manner.


 See Brum, 438 Mass. at 112.    The interview was

informal:   the defendant arrived voluntarily, and during the

course of the relatively short interview, both he and the

detective spoke in calm, even tones.    Sneed, 440 Mass. at 221.

Further, the defendant controlled the parameters of the

interview, indicating which questions he would answer and which

he would not.   See Groome, 435 Mass. at 213.    Finally, the

questioning ended when the detective stated, "Before we go any

further, I would like my lawyer present."     He then freely left

the interview, as opposed to being arrested.     See Sneed, supra

at 220; Brum, supra.

Prof Portoghese's research focus has been in the area of opioids and opioid receptors. Concurrent with his research activities, he has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (1972-2011) for the American Chemical Society. With graduate faculty appointments in Pharmacology and Neuroscience in addition to his home Department, he has ongoing research collaborations in these departments and elsewhere at the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center. Some of the major contributions of Prof Portoghese's research group have been based on the development of concepts that relate to the interaction of opioid ligands with opioid receptors. The multiple modality concept based on the structure-activity relationships of opioid ligands led to the proposal of multiple opioid receptors (1965), which at that time was a departure from the prevailingZach Phelps-Roper, the 23-year-old grandson of infamous hate preacher Fred Phelps, has left the Westboro Baptist Church, the Topeka Capital-Journal reports:

Armenian Genocide Day: Why Won't President Obama Say the 'G' Word?

Today, Armenians around the world commemorated the 97th anniversary of a genocide that began on April 24, 1915, when Armenian leaders and intellectuals were rounded up. Then came the able-bodied men of each village, followed by women and children who were sent on death marches into the desert. In total, an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were systematically murdered in the first genocide of the 20th century.

On August 22, 1939, a week before the German army’s invasion of Poland, Adolf Hitler said to his commanders, “I have placed my death-head formations in readiness … with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion men, women and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall wegain the living space which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

My grandfather still speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians. He does not always remember my name, but he never forgets that his mother was taken from her home and made to walk through the desert for days at gunpoint with no food or water. She was forced to leave her newborn baby on the side of the road when he died of starvation in her arms. Her emaciated body had no milk. She couldn’t feed him.

President Obama spoke of the annihilation of the Armenians as a senator and then as a presidential candidate, promising to recognize it as a genocide. “America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the

Cascade Creek Apartments, a mixed-use development offering 40 affordable housing units, has been awarded LEED Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Rochester, Minn.—Cascade Creek Apartments, a mixed-use development designed by JLG Architects and offering 40 affordable housing units, has been awarded LEED for Homes Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

That recognition comes not long after Cascade Creek captured an award of a different sort. Earlier this year, it received one of a dozen 2012 CUDE Awards bestowed by the Rochester Committee on Urban Design and Environment.

The award was given in recognition of the building fitting the appearance and scale of an established neighborhood.

CUDE Awards are presented to projects contributing to the city’s quality of life and enhancing itsAcetate oxidation by bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma cruzi.
Bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma cruzi had a substantial increase in respiration in the presence of acetate. Oxidation of acetate took place via the tricarboxylic acid cycle and involved an antimycin A-sensitive respiratory pathway. Oxygen uptake in the presence of acetate was a sensitive to antimycin A inhibition as was CO2 production. There was a 6--7% residual O2 uptake which was not inhibited by high antimycin concentrations. Human anti-T. cruzi sera had no effect on oxygen uptake.


          Throughout  1984  and  1985,  the  landlords  owned

commercial  rental property ("the  property") in Northampton,

Massachusetts.  Ralph Dwyer's son, Jeffrey Dwyer, managed the

property.   During that  same time period,  Richard Piccicuto

owned and operated Sheehan's Cafe,  Inc., which was a  tenant

of  several  units  (including  two basement  units)  of  the

property.  Until  July 13,  1984, when  the parties  executed

leases for these basement units, Sheehan's had been a tenant-

Piccicuto did not accede to Dwyer's demand.

          For the ensuing ten months, Piccicuto attempted  to

rectify the situation with the Driscolls, and otherwise tried

to  sell  the  business  by placing  listings  with  brokers.

Jeffrey Dwyer  interfered with  these efforts  by telephoning

the brokers and informing them  that the leases were invalid,

from listing and showing the property.  During this same time

The maiden Luti watcheth
Where onwardly they float:
That look in her dilating eyes
Might seem to drive her boat:
Her eyes still mark the constant fire,
And kindling unawares
That hopeful while, she lets a smile
Creep silent through her prayers.
The river floweth on.

VIII

The smile--where hath it wandered?
She riseth from her knee.
She holds her dark, wet locks away--
There is no light to see!
She cries a quick and bitter cry--
'Nuleeni, launch me thine!
We must have light abroad to-night,
For all the wreck of mine.'
The river floweth on.

'I do remember watching
Beside this river-bed,
When on my childish knee was leaned
My dying father's head;
I turned mine own to keep the tears
From falling on his face:
What doth it prove when Death and Love
Choose out the self-same place?'
The river floweth on.

'They say the deadloiter?
What secret wouldst thou cover?
That peepul cannot hide thy boat,
And I can guess thy lover;
I heard thee sob his name in sleep,
It was a name I knew:
Come, little maid, be not afraid,
But let us prove him true!'
The river floweth on.

The little maiden cometh,
She cometh shy and slow;
I ween she seeth through her lids
They drop adown so low:
Her tresses meet her small bare feet,
She stands and speaketh nought,
Yet blusheth red, as if she said
The name she only thought.
The river floweth on.

She knelt beside the water,
She lighted up the flame,
And o'er her youthful forehead's calm
The fitful radiance came:--
'Go, little boat, go soft and safe,
And guard the symbol spark!'
Soft, safe doth float the little boat
Across the waters dark.
The river floweth on.

Glad tears her eyes have blinded,
The light they cannot reach;

Nuleeni looked in wonder,
Yet softly answered she--
'By loves that last when lights are past,
I vowed that vow to thee:
But why glads it thee that a bride-day be
By a word of woe defiled?
That a word of wrong take the cradle-song
From the ear of a sinless child?'
'Why?' Luti said, and her laugh was dread,
And her eyes dilated wild--
'That the fair new love may her bride-groom prove,
And the father shame the child!'

Learning that cancer had come back was, for most of the families, more devastating than hearing that they had cancer for the first time. Signs of shock and suffering were experienced by families as an initial response to recurrence. The new diagnosis often entailed a change in the family life. Survivorship period and age seemed also significant in the psychosocial experience of recurrence. The term 'again', used by all the participants to describe a recurrence of the disease, symbolised a beginning and a continuation with cancer; it implied a re-encounter with health services, and it represented new suffering for the families.


south, the A1 road at Tickencote Warren to the west, Lincolnshire Gate and Castle Bytham to the north and an unmaintained track to Ryhall Heath to the east.

The current church, All Saints, was built in 1821 and lies to the west of the village. The church is a Grade II listed building. Maps previously showed the spire of the demolished church under the name Mockbeggar to the west of the current village site.

The remains of the old medieval village lie mainly to the west of the current village centre in an area referred to as Top Pickworth. The only visible remains, other than earthworks, is a stone arch.

Just to the west of the village lie the remains of a lime kiln. In 1817 this was the workplace ofto the appellant's premises for the purpose of buying gasoline. The service tank from which he usually filled his truck was empty, and he volunteered the use of his truck to fill this tank from a storage tank located a short distance away. He placed his tank-truck, which had a capacity of 1,000 gallons, near the storage tank and helped one of appellant's employees place a *596 portable electric pump in position. The appellant provided a two-inch rubber hose to connect the storage tank and the pump. Another hose was connected to the discharge end of the pump and inserted into the tank on the truck through a dome.
 A flexible cable, consisting of four wires encased in random lengths of rubber garden hose, was connected at one


end to a power line in the switch house. The other end of this cable terminated in a four-prong plug, which was inserted in a socket on the motor. The electricity could be turned on or off either by a switch in the switch house or by pulling the plug from the socket.
 After the hose connections were made, the appellant turned on the electricity and gasoline began to flow into the tank-truck and he and one of his employees who had assisted in setting up the pump left the scene, leaving the respondent alone. Mondine then stepped on the running board of his truck in a position where he could see the amount of gasoline flowing into it.
 According to his testimony, about eight or ten minutesafter the pumping commenced he glanced at the electric motor and saw sparks four or five inches long coming from it. He estimated that at that time the tank on his truck was a little less than half full. Jumping to the ground he started for the motor, intending to disconnect it from the power by pulling the cable out of the socket. Before he reached the motor an explosion occurred. The hose pulled out of the tank on the truck, spraying gasoline over a considerable area. Some of this gasoline fell on the respondent, whose clothes caught on fire, causing him to be severely burned.
 The evidence shows that the motor and the pump had been used by the appellant almost daily for more than three years.

Insurance Co. ("WIIC") appeals the judgment of the Court of International Trade, which affirmed the United States Customs Service's ("Customs") denial of WIIC's request for an exemption pursuant to subheading 806.30 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States ("TSUS")1 for stainless steel sheets. Washington Int'l Ins. Co. v. United States, No. 92-04-00252 (Ct. Int'l Trade Aug. 8, 2003). We affirm.

Background

2
Subheading 806.30, TSUS, provides a duty exemption for:

3
Any article of metal (except precious metal) manufactured in the United States or subjected to a process of manufacture in the United States, if exported for further processing, and if the exported article as processed outside the United States, or the article which results from the processing outside the United States, is returned to the United States for further processing.

4
(emphasis added).pay the duty only on the value added by the shaping of the iron blocks into rods, which would have occurred outside the United States.

5
The facts of this case are not disputed. Newmet Corporation and Newmet Steel Corporation (collectively "Newmet")3 imported stainless steel sheets into the United States from 1984 to 1986. These stainless steel sheets were manufactured in foreign steel mills from stainless steel scrap that was exported from the United States. The stainless steel scrap, which both parties agree was not solely of domestic origin, consisted of both obsolete and industrial scrap.4 This scrap was purchased by Newmet and then processed in one of its scrap yards. According to WIIC, the scrap was subject to three processes in the scrap yard: (1) testing and segregating; (2)


has since been replaced with subheading 9802.00.60 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

2
 In order to qualify for the exemption, the import must undergo further processing once it reenters the United States

3
 WIIC was the surety on the customs bonds for Newmet's entries. As such, WIIC is the party in interest

4
 "Obsolete scrap" is metal machinery that is no longer usable, while "industrial scrap" is small pieces of metal waste that result from manufacturing various stainless steel products

5
 If the scrap had originated in the United States (i.e., from obsolete stainless steel products manufactured in the United States or as waste from the manufacture of stainless steel products in the United States), the stainless steel sheets would be entitled to the exemption

Among the most iconic images to emerge from Hurricane Sandy’s assault on the Eastern Seaboard in 2012 were those of the Goldman Sachs building lit up like a torch by its own generator while a blackout left the rest of lower Manhattan in the dark. This proved a sign of things to come: Within days, the financial district was back to work, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg seemed far slower to notice what had befallen other areas of the city. He sought to go through with the annual New York Marathon just a week after the storm, until residents and runners rallied to inform him that coastal neighborhoods of his city had been devastated.

The images stuck in my mind from that period are of the devastation: Whole blocks burned

Health professionals in Washington State were surveyed in 1993 to assess acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) reporting knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Seventy-five percent responded.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II takes place a month after the events of the first. Waking up on the cold hard ground of a mountainous region, Rean's memories of the previous events slowly come back to him. Rushing off to find his classmates who were left behind, Rean slowly recalls the previous adventures that led to this point and the picture they paint is not a pretty one.

Being out of power due to having saved Rean's life I didn't expect him to make an appearance any time within the first few hours but I was pleasantly and happily surprised that Rean gets to pilot him.

The first has all the characters according to their speeds and then the delays of their attacks while the second is possible bonuses such as Craft and Health Point recovery or guaranteed critical hits that you want to make sure you either get or have an S-Craft ready for.

When it comes to the Mechs however, it becomes a bit of a game of rock paper scissors. Enemies can take different stances and knowing where tofunding for human embryonic stem cell research will end a sorry chapter in federal research policies and usher in a new era in this promising field of medicine," said Philip Pizzo, MD, dean of the School of Medicine and a member of the board overseeing California's stem cell agency. "It would provide scientists with much-needed resources to speed discoveries and devise new treatments for some of the most vexing diseases and severe injuries."

Bush's prohibition has meant that researchers who wished to proceed with new human embryonic stem cell lines needed to have separate funding not just for the reagents in their experiments, but also for the equipment and laboratory space used to conduct the research. At the urging of the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine,

The money has led a number of the nation's leading stem cell researchers to move to California, including two who came to Stanford—Michael Clarke, MD, from the University of Michigan, and Philip Beachy, PhD, from Johns Hopkins. And the CIRM money has attracted private matching funds that have enabled the building of new stem cell centers, such as the Lorry I. Lokey Stem Cell Research Building at Stanford, projected to be the largest stem cell research facility in the nation.

"Essentially, California has had the advantage of SEED grants, research grants and facilities grants from the institute that have been unavailable to the rest of the country," said Robert Klein, chair of CIRM's governing body. "We've built upnation because, to the extent it allows such research to go forward, it demands almost nothing in the way of ethical constraints." In other words, Bush's attempt to claim the moral high ground on a contentious issue stranded the very research he was trying to regulate in murky ethical waters.

The new president could change that, but Congress has a role to play as well. "By passing bipartisan federal legislation," Pelosi noted, "we would bring embryonic stem cell research under the strict controls and ethical guidelines of the National Institutes of Health."

Weissman encourages the NIH to adopt the principles and practices approved by the National Academies and CIRM to guide such research. Regardless, he said, "it is important that any new NIH guidelines do not replace one set of

Guarding the Ecuadorian embassy in London where Julian Assange has claimed asylum has now cost taxpayers £9million, it has been revealed.

Metropolitan Police officers have been standing outside the Knightsbridge building since the WikiLeaks founder took refuge there in June 2012 - a vigil costing £11,000 per day.

The 43-year-old is wanted in Sweden after allegedly sexually assaulting two women in Stockholm in 2010.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been at the Ecuadorian embassy in west London since June 2012

British taxpayers have now spent £9m on guarding the embassy in Knightsbridge where Assange is staying

In November, a Swedish appeal court upheld the arrest warrant against the WikiLeaks founder.

Mr Assange, who denies the allegations and has not been charged, has sought refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy to avoid extradition.

Assange is wanted in Sweden after allegedly sexually assaulting two women in Stockholm in 2010

The hacker has endured a self-imposed imprisonment in a single room after being given diplomatic asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy.

Assange is still unapologetic about his role in helping to disclose government secrets.

The embassy — strewn with red, yellow and blue Ecuadorian flags — takes up a single floor of a block behind Harrods.

Initially, Assange slept on an inflatable mattress donated by embassy staff, who are described as having become 'like family' to him.

But when it became clear his stay was not going to be temporary, a small room was transformed into his living quarters and a bed


Chris Hartcher event referred to ICAC

Sean Nicholls4 May 2014, 7:46 p.m.

Former NSW energy minister Chris Hartcher was guest of honour at a business "networking event" in 2012 organised by a mysterious entity called the Georges River Club, which promised members "sway with government".

Details of a fundraising event at which Chris Hartcher was the guest of honour have been referred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption as the watchdog continues to probe the former energy minister's allegedly corrupt dealings with political donors.

Fairfax Media understands the referral relates to a "networking event" in July 2012 organised by a business entity called the Georges Riverbefore the September 2012 local government elections, at which Cr Daniel was elected.

On Friday, Cr Daniel confirmed he helped organise the event, at which a Harley-Davidson motorcycle was raffled. It is understood several local property developers were also in attendance.

"I definitely helped my mate get it up and running," Cr Daniel said. "It's a networking group. It's got nothing to do with the Liberal Party".

Asked where the money raised through memberships and at the event ended up, Cr Daniel said: "You'll have to ask [Mr Germanos]."

Mr Brookes said he attended the event "because I was invited".

"It's just a group of business people who come together from the local community."

Asked where the money went, Mr Brookes said: "I wouldn't have a clue." He added: "I think they donated it


to charity."

However, Mr Germanos said no money was donated because the event and another held afterwards were unsuccessful and had left him out of pocket to the tune of about $5,500.

"No one accepted the memberships," he said. "The Georges River Club was a business networking event designed as an opportunity to attract clients to my accountancy business. Two events were held, both were losses. So I gave up on the idea".

Asked why then energy and resources minister Mr Hartcher attended, whose electorate is Terrigal on the Central Coast, Mr Germanos said there were a number of prominent people in attendance, including former radio host Jason Morrison who emceed. "People were jumping at the idea of supporting local businesses," Mr Germanos said.

Company documents show the Georges River Club existssolely as a registered business name to Mr Germanos' company Professional Housing Solutions.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption is investigating allegations Mr Hartcher and two other Central Coast MPs, Darren Webber and Chris Spence, solicited illegal donations for the Liberal Party through an alleged slush fund called Eightbyfive.

I met a Russian woman, who although she considered herself Jewish, she could not make Aliayah because she did not have "proof" that she was Jewish. Of course during the collapse of the Soviet Union, many immigrants were only seeking better economic stability rather than religious nonsense, and the thought by some religious people is that they had lied about being Jewish, just to escape instability in their home. This has translated into the Russian population feeling somewhat excluded from Israelis with more history in the country. Almost as compensation, the Russians have flocked to the nationalist party Yisrael Beiteinu , or "Israel Our Home," lead by Soviet born Avigdor Lieberman . I


am often asked if I am Russian, due to my blonde hair and transportation choice primarily being birds of prey

The next largest party (from the 2009 election, now the largest) is Likkud (consolidation) headed by the prime minister, Benyamin Netanyahu. They are right of center.

A nationalist party, primarily supported by recent immigrants from the Soviet Union, Israel Our Home , heads up the next largest party. Apart from reasons listed above Russians often live in areas in the south, closest to the frequent attacks by Hamas, and hunkering in a bunker tends to turn you a bit reactionary. Plus, Russians enjoy projecting strength.

Formerly the largest party in Israel, the left wing Labor party represents the old guard Kibbutz secular Zionist crowd, that has been diminishing in power sincethe late seventies. This has recently split into another party, Independence lead by Ehud Barak . This party is now lead by Shelly Yachimovich. It seems there is a constant threat in Israeli politics that if a leader is not elected to the head of the party, he or she may simply leave and create a smaller party. This also occurred with Tzipi Livni, the former head of Kadima, listed above.

Underneath these are some smaller parties that may participate in a coalition government. There are ultra-religious parties, such as Shas and United Torah Judaism , an Arab party and some ultranationalist parties , and my favorite, Hadash . They propose immediate recognition of Palestine in the west bank, immediate withdrawal of all settlements, and a lowering in the


price of beer. On the left there is another smaller social deomocratic party, Meretz

In general, the more hawkish parties lead by Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to win, especially considering the disintegration of the Israeli left, the major parties including Kadima and the Labour party. All of the parties essentially agree on Palestine-- publicly support a two state plan, but to only half-heartily pursue the plan's implementation. Although the West Bank has been peaceful for many years, Israelis are reluctant to "permit" it statehood. Part of this stems from a fear of another Gaza being created. Israel used to occupy Gaza, until 1994 when they signed a peace treaty with Yasser Arafat. The Israelis withdrew from Gaza, except for military bases and some 20 or so settlements in thesouth and let Gaza self-govern. Things worked until ~ 2000 when the Second Intifada broke out, with many suicide bombings and other attacks that lead to Israel to build a wall around Gaza and the West Bank. The Israelis completely withdrew from Gaza, and Yasser Arafat died, leading to chaos amongst the Gazan side. This unrest also allowed Hamas to take control of Gaza in a bloody civil war with Fatah, and basically run the strip like warlords, becoming wealthy through controlling trade through the tunnels to Egypt. Unfortunately, the Israelis seem be in a perpetual stalemate with Gaza. The current policy with Gaza seems to be, allow Hamas to bomb to south, until it gets to be too much, then the IDF will bomb a bunch of

Here's an advert with a series of election letters:The party with the most votes in the last election was the center-left party Kadima, formerly headed by Tzipi Livni. When Tzipi lost an internal power struggle in the party, s he left to form her own party , with the poll letters ZP, as in Tzi-Pi, (since Hebrew lacks vowels, sort of). Both parties are similar in politics. Now Kadima is headed by Shaul Mofaz, originally from Tehran.2016, Israeli gunboats stationed off al-Wahah shore, northwest of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, heavily opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats. Two gunboats then surrounded two fishing boats sailing within 1 nautical mile. One of these boats belongs to Ishaq Mohammed Mohammed Zayed (54) who was on its board at that time along with his two sons, Rasem (29) and Mohammed (19). Meanwhile, the other fishing boat belongs to Younis Diab Mousa Zayed (53), who was on its board at that time along with his two sons, Saqer (20) and Ayman (18). The Israeli soldiers ordered all of fishermen on both boats to take off their clothes, jumped into the water and swim towards the two gunboats. The Israeli soldiers roped the two boats with the
