No. 12842.
United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.

Before SOBELOFF, BRYAN and BUTZNER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Western Carolina Industries, Incorporated, an association of industrial employers in western North Carolina, was organized to provide information and advice to its members in the areas of personnel policy, plant safety, and labor relations. The National Labor Relations Board ordered Western Carolina and its president, Harry Clarke, to cease and desist from certain unfair labor


practices. Western Carolina and Clarke now petition to set aside the order, and the Board cross-petitions for enforcement.

2
The Board found that the petitioners had committed an unfair labor practice in their capacity as agents for Phillips Industries, Incorporated, a member of the association, by engaging in illegal surveillance of a union meeting during an organizational campaign at the Phillips plant in Arden, North Carolina. In connection with the campaign, petitioner Clarke visited the plant, where he was seen by Phillips employees. A few days after the visit, Clarke was recognized by Phillips employees as he drove slowly around a restaurant in which a union meeting was being held. According to the Board's finding, Clarke came to the restaurant "for the purpose of engaging in surveillance of the unionMTS Centre Concourse Renovations Project is a significant upgrade that will be completed in a series of phases over the next several months.

NEW YORK- A former Subway franchisee says she alerted the company about pitchman Jared Fogle in 2008.

Fogle pleaded guilty to sex with minors last week. Cindy Mills says she met Fogle at an event and they exchanged phone numbers.

Her lawyer says Fogle began talking about paying sex for minors so Mills alerted a regional Subway contact in Florida. Later, she says she alerted Jeff Moody, who was in charge of the Subway Franchisee Advertising fund Trust.

Subway has said it has no record of Mills' complaints. Business Insider originally reported on the complaint but did not name Mills at her request.


to be scary...and so while I still enjoy NoES, it looks even more tame today than when I was an impressionable youngster. As you can see, he fails to even arouse much of a response from my awesome cat, Hot Cocoa:

There's no denying the mind-bending, gory terror in the sequences depicting the deaths of Tina (Amanda Wyss) and Glenn (Johnny Depp). Director Wes Craven knocked those out of the park- an unseen killer tossing bodies around the room like dolls and WOW that's alot of blood...

But there's so much UNscary in Nightmare that any genuine scares Craven elicits in those scenes vanishes quickly. First, let us discuss the soundtrack. On one hand, the sound effect of Freddy's knives scraping along metal is jarring, grating, terrifying, and perfect. Buthoney...the music. Whenever Freddy gives chase to Nancy, the boinking synthesizer kicks in and we're treated to something you might hear on a Nu Shooz album. I realize the movie was made in the mid-80s. One might forgive the synthesizer, but more than that it's the wrong tempo. The music doesn't evoke chills...it evokes...action movies. This soundtrack belongs to a Lorenzo Lamas movie about someone who breaks the law to bring down the bad guys...a vigilante...a Renegade, baby. It doesn't belong in a horror film. It's glaring in its wrongness.

Then there's Nancy's mom's charred body waving as it sinks into the glowing, fog-emitting disco bed and Freddy disappearing into a shower of sparkles when Nancy turns her back on him and tells him off. Quaint, maybe, but not

Sometimes he comes across as weird and scary, like the surreal image of him with the long arms reaching out, the finger blades scraping the alley walls. But sometimes, he's just a kind of doofus, for lack of a better word, like when Nancy's fighting him in the big climax.

The Carolina RailHawks have signed three additional players to the roster ahead of the 2016 NASL season. Former Atlanta Silverbacks defender Paul Black, former Indy Eleven midfielder Marvin Ceballos, and former Whitecaps FC II forward Billy Schuler (pending ITC approval); will join the RailHawks’ championship push in 2016.

Defender Paul Black joins the RailHawks following a strong 2015 season with the Atlanta Silverbacks. Black, a 25-year-old from Rochdale, England, anchored the Silverbacks’ defense last season, playing 2,538 minutes in 29 appearances.

Despite his young age, Black possesses an experienced skillset that will bolster the RailHawks’ backline in 2016. After progressing through Manchester City’s youth system, Black played professionally in England for eight years, including four years with Oldham Athletic, one year with Tranmere


Rovers, one year with Carlisle United, one year with Mansfield Town, and one year with Cheltenham Town. Black earned 5,496 playing minutes in his 75 appearances in England’s League One and League Two.

Marvin Ceballos, another 2015 NASL standout, also joins the RailHawks for the 2016 season. Ceballos, a native of Guatemala City, Guatemala, began his professional career with Liga Nacional side Comunicaciones in 2011. The explosive midfielder netted eight goals and earned 3,385 playing minutes in his three seasons with Comunicaciones.

After joining Indy Eleven in 2015, Ceballos immediately asserted himself as one of the top young midfielders in the NASL thanks to his vision and technical skillset. The 23-year-old scored two goals in his 12 appearances for Indy Eleven last season. Ceballos was the first outdoor player tonet a goal for his country in a FIFA tournament when he score the game winner against Croatia in the FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011, boosting his country to the knockout round. He has also appeared with Guatemala’s senior national team five times, including three caps last summer.

The RailHawks’ third signee is former-UNC star Billy Schuler. Schuler, 25, led the Tar Heels’ attack from 2008 until 2011. The forward helped the Tar Heels reach the NCAA Championship match in 2008, and helped his squad win the NCAA Championship in 2011.

Following his impressive collegiate career, Schuler joined Swedish club Hammarby for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, in which he scored two goals in 26 appearances. The Allentown, New Jersey, native returned to the US in 2014, joining Major

Sergei Bobrovsky was one of the top free-agent signings this past summer. He rose to NHL fame with the Columbus Blue Jackets in his seven seasons with the team. During that time, he amassed two Vezina Trophies while emerging as one of the top goaltenders in the league. In July, he signed a seven-year, $70-million contract with the Florida Panthers. The hope was that Bobrovsky would turn the Panthers around after narrowly missing out on the post-season the past two years.

Bobrovsky’s start in the Sunshine State has been slow. Based on patterns in his career though, the slow start should not be a cause for concern.

Why the Florida Panthers Shouldn’t Worry About Sergei Bobrovsky

The Last Time He Changed Teams

Sergei Bobrovsky signed with the Philadelphia Flyers as an undraftedfree-agent in 2010. In his first season with the Flyers, he finished with 2.59 goals-against and a .915 save percentage while posting a 28-13-8 record. His play dropped in the playoffs though, getting replaced as the starter in the Flyers first-round series. He only dressed in six of Philadelphia’s 11 playoff games, starting in three of them. The 2011-12 season saw the Flyers bring in Ilya Bryzgalov, which cut into Brobrovsky’s playing time. He posted a 14-10-2 record with a 3.02 goals-against and a .899 save percentage.

That brought on a change for Bobrovsky, with the Flyers trading him to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a second-round pick. In the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, Bobrovsky saw some early struggles with his new team. In his first 10 starts with the


Jackets, Bobrovsky posted a save percentage under .900 on four occasions, while being pulled twice. He gave up 28 goals in those first 10 games, collecting only three wins. The Blue Jackets were still in the Western Conference at that point and finished that season second-last in their division. Bobrovsky’s numbers did improve, however, finishing the short season with a 2.00 goals-against and a .932 save percentage in 38 appearances. Those numbers were enough to earn Bobrovsky his first Vezina Trophy.

More Slow Starts

Perhaps it was the hangover from the previous season’s Vezina win. In 2013-14, Bobrovsky found himself mired in another slow start. Through the first 10 games of the season, he had eerily similar numbers as the previous year. There were four occasions where the Russian goaltenderposted a sub-.900 save percentage. He gave up four or more goals in all of those games. He also had a four-game losing streak during that time.

Similar to the previous season though, Bobrovsky’s numbers improved. In 58 appearances in 2013-14, Bobrovsky posted a 2.38 goals-against and a .923 save percentage. His save percentage was in the top-10 of goalies who played at least 25 games that season.

The following season, Bobrovsky also stumbled out of the gate. In his first 10 appearances, Bob surrendered three or more goals on five occasions. He finished with a 30-17-3 record with a 2.83 goals-against and a .918 save percentage.

The beginning of his 2015-16 campaign was the worst start for Bobrovsky. He picked up just two wins in his first 10 games. In


that 10-game span, he had a save percentage of over .900 just twice, giving up three or more goals in three of those starts. It was the only season of Bobrovsky’s career where he posted a losing record, going 15-19-1 while also battling injuries.

The Bounce-Back for Sergei Bobrovsky

After the dismal numbers in the 2015-16 season, Bobrovsky had a phenomenal 2016-17 season. He won six of his first 10 starts, posting shutouts in three of them. Bobrovsky finished the season with career highs in wins (41), save percentage (.931) and goals-against (2.06) while also capturing his second Vezina Trophy.

In his final season with the Blue Jackets, Bobrovsky had another rough start. He gave up three or more goals in seven of his first 10 appearances. In his final 10games of the season, Bob posted four shutouts while winning eight times, helping the Blue Jackets secure a playoff spot. Despite the slow start to 2018-19, Bobrovsky finished with 37-24-1 record with a 2.58 goals-against and a .913 save percentage. He finished second in the league in wins and had the most shutouts with nine.

Why Panthers Fans Shouldn’t Worry

Sergei Bobrovsky has a strange trend of slow starts. He is of the top goaltenders in the league this decade but has shown that October is not his best month. Last season with the Blue Jackets is a good microcosm of Bobrovsky’s career. Despite his usual slow start, he showed that he is elite when his team needed him.

Through the first five games this season, Bobrovsky has given up three


or more goals in all games but one. He has still gone 2-2-1 in those games, which includes two matchups against the offensive juggernaut that is the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It seems at times that the league is wondering when Bobrovsky’s magic will run out. Aside from slow starts and one injury-plagued year, Bobrovsky is among the best goaltenders in the NHL. With a new team, comes growing pains. It took the Russian some time to settle in Columbus, which was the last time he had to move cities. The Panthers are poised to make some noise this season. Once Sergei Bobrovsky finds his rhythm, the Panthers will be a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference.

When I was 15 and studying German, I decided to go on a three-month student exchange to Germany. At the airport, I suddenly felt a lurch at the thought of leaving my parents and all that familiarity.

On a white Christmas Day in Germany, I received a phone call. My grandfather was in his 90s and still living at home. Something had gone wrong with the electricity in his house and my father had gone up on the roof to take a look. He was electrocuted and fell.

When I flew home a day or so later, he was in a coma. He


never woke up. The machine monitoring his vital signs flatlined that evening. I have no siblings. My only immediate family is my mother. Or so I thought.

What I now know is that my parents began going to the Human Reproduction Unit at the Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH), a Sydney public hospital, in 1982. It was just before the AIDS scare fully broke.

I started digging. I contacted the clinic for my medical records. The RNSH Human Reproduction Unit had been taken over by IVF Australia, part of the Australian Stock Exchange-listed Virtus Health, which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. IVF Australia keeps all records created by the public hospital.

I rang IVF Australia and was put onto a woman who handles these cases - people like me,dead for years. I kept asking Mum for permission to access the records but it took about six months before she finally agreed. In a meeting with IVF Australia, I was given a photocopy of what was apparently the whole file. Only two pages related to the treatment that resulted in my conception, and the column for the donor code was gone.

IVF Australia's medical Director, Associate Professor Peter Illingworth, explained that for a period in the early 1980s, all conception record codes at that clinic had been destroyed. The head of the clinic at that time was Professor Douglas Saunders. Illingworth said there might have been concerns over moves to open records so staff destroyed the codes to protect donor anonymity. With no code information available, the door


said.

Three months after my conversation with Illingworth, he contacted me and said he had spoken to Saunders and wanted to clarify some things. He told me that all sperm used in late 1982 was frozen, and quarantined for six months to prevent the spread of AIDS. And no more than 10 siblings were created from any one donor.

I kept digging. I tracked down the nurse who had destroyed the record of my code. Back then, she had been a good friend of my mother's, who also worked at RNSH. The nurse had treated my mother at the Human Reproduction Unit.

I called her early on New Year's Eve and she was astonishingly direct. "I've often thought I was going to get these kinds of calls," she said. "There werea couple of girls I was friendly with at the time."

We talked about her daughter, who is the same age as me; we played together at the same crèche. The nurse said we should all go out to dinner sometime. I couldn't believe how surreal this was. Did she have any idea how huge this call was for me? Then she said she remembered my donor code. It was AFH. I wrote it down and stared at the letters. The nurse was rattling on. She told me my donor was a young science student, in his 20s, with similar colouring to my dad. Then she reeled off some stats about my dad - height, eye colour, hair colour - that were still buried in her mind. They were

simple and short name, and very suitable for many space-related games.

Heck, all Civ-in-space games could use that name.

Story-wise, SC1 was about the fleet management of the Alliance, of which the UN-organisation "Star Control" was the part of Humanity.

In SC2, this "Star Control" organisation was non-existent, as the Ur-Quan forbade any form of space-ships for Humanity. Yet, the game was still called "Star Control".

What I need from "Star Control" named games, is either the storyline and preferably most of the races. And Frungy, the sport of kings.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hopes he can persuade Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to stay with the club after the striker’s double secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Everton.

The former Borussia Dortmund frontman is 30 and has been linked with other clubs, including Inter and Barcelona, as he approaches the final year of his contract.

With only a slim chance of Arsenal qualifying for next season’s Champions League, it would not be surprising if Aubameyang were questioning where he will spend the final peak years of his career.

But the Gunners see him as a big part of their future, and his clinical double against Everton was further proof of his value to the team, according to Arteta.

author of Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes

Natural Born Heroes selected as BookPages “Top Nonfiction Pick”

It’s reassuring to discover that heroes, both ancient and modern, are not somehow supernaturally endowed after all. Indeed, they may come by their skills quite naturally. In the thoroughly absorbing Natural Born Heroes, which tracks heroism from the times of Zeus and Odysseus to the World War II bravery of a motley crew of fighters, Christopher McDougall makes it clear that incredible acts of strength and endurance are doable. His extensive knowledge of fitness training, nutrition and physiology winds artfully around a tale of superhuman resistance during the Nazi occupation of the Greek island of Crete, Hitler’s designated launching pad for the invasion of Russia.

By the time Crete’s WWII heroes succeed,the locals was swift and bloody, yet Cretan resisters risked their lives to aid the kidnappers. How did they—both British commandos and locals—manage to flee the Nazi pursuers and traverse a mountain, with very little food or rest, and challenges at every turn?

McDougall, author of the 2009 bestseller Born to Run and himself a highly trained athlete, solves this mystery with a witty eye for every detail, inspiring his own captive audience along the way.

"The end of coal in Saskatchewan would mean the end of these jobs," said Dolter.

Dolter added that the closing of the Poplar River coal plant would have a devastating impact on the Coronach and Willow Bunch areas, as much of the local working-age population works in the coal-fired power industry.

Anderson Cooper made a blooper.

The popular news anchor said he's "genuinely sorry" for a "crude" remark he made on his CNN show Friday night.

While interviewing CNN contributor Jeffrey Lord — a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump — Cooper estimated that, "If [Trump] took a dump on his desk, you would defend it." The remark came after Lord had defended Trump's insult of former FBI Director James Comey as a "nut job."

Lord didn't appear to be offended by the comment, laughing after Cooper said it.Youmacon 2015 (Anime Convention)

The Civil Aviation Ministry has no plans to remove the name of Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra from the elite "no-frisking" list at domestic airports."We are not withdrawing Robert Vadra's name from the list. It is not on our radar," Minister of State for Civil Aviation Sharma told the Press Trust of India today. As of now, Mr Vadra is not frisked at airports if he travels with an Special Protection Group or SPG personnel.If he is removed from the elite list, he would be subjected to frisking at all airports even if he travels with an SPG protectee.The issue of Mr Vadra's exemption from frisking and checking at airport has been raised many times. Civil AviationMinister Ashok Gajapathi Raju had last year said that the no-frisking list should be meaningful and not "ornamental".The current no-frisk list includes the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Union Cabinet ministers, Leader of Opposition, Supreme Court judges, high court chief justices, chief ministers and their deputies, governors and ambassadors.

This year the GPX Racing team, winners at the Spa 24 Hours, is running a double programme comprising the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and the 24H Series Championship of the Continents.

The team then has taken part in three 24-hour races in less than two months and has been rewarded with three podium finishes for its efforts. After the squad’s second place in Portimao and the victory in the Spa 24 Hours, the Porsche 911 GT3 R in Gulf colours finished third in Barcelona.

The team managed by Pierre-Brice Mena took advantage of the visit to Catalonia to announce their projects aimed at being at the start of the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans!

GPX Racing will end its tour of Europe in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cupat Barcelona on 28-29 September with the usual Silver Cup line-up. The team will once again contest the Gulf 12 Hours, this time with two cars, (14th December) and the same cars will also contest the Dubai 24 Hours a month later.

The 24H Series Continents will again be on the programme in 2020 in parallel with an assault on SRO Motorsports’ GT World Challenge Europe. This time the team will have a full programme including the five sprint events in addition to the five endurance races with the Spa 24 Hours being the highlight.

One car will be entered for the Silver Cup and a Pro squad is being discussed to try and repeat this year’s exploit in the Ardennes.

A GTE programme is set to follow on from that

He was the victim of garden-variety police entrapment at a time and place when two men holding hands in public was enough for a cop to arrest them on suspicion and take them in for questioning. In his own written account of the incident, which occurred in 1957 and was included in Debbie Geller’s book of oral history, In My Life: The Brian Epstein Story, Epstein, then 23, enumerated the charge: “For persistently importuning various men for immoral purposes.”

Epstein, who died at 32 of an accidental drug overdose, was a tortured gay man who was bowed by the weight and import of


his wealthy Jewish family. Yet he was also a wildly creative and worldly individual who harnessed everything at his disposal to be successful.

Now famous for managing The Beatles, whom he met in 1961, Epstein set off a seismic transformation of music and culture. In recent years, a series of books, plays, and as-yet-unrealized screenplays, has sought to dig deeper into who Epstein was and how he infused his talent and torment into his work with the Fab Four.

A new TV series is set to get to the heart of how Epstein compartmentalized all this incongruence. Vivek Tiwary, a Broadway producer and author of The Fifth Beatle—a graphic novel about Epstein, with art by Andrew C. Robinson and Kyle Baker—is currently developing it for television.

It was spitting in the faces of Canada's 158 Afghanistan war dead and the thousands who fell in wars before them.

And done on the very day families were tearfully remembering them. It was also grossly disrespectful to a group of veterans — aged 80 to 90 — from both World War II and the Korean War.

It was disgusting.

But freedom can be as ugly in what it must tolerate as this protest on Remembrance Day at Old City Hall was crass.

Interesting that much of this disrespect came from, seemingly, some of the very people who should have been at this ceremony saying thank you. Instead they attempted to ruin it.

"I cannot, and will not, be silent in a ceremony used to glorify Canada¹s mission in Afghanistan, where many of


my fellow Afghans were detained, tortured and killed because of the Canadian military," explained Suraia Sahar in an e-mail to Newstalk 1010 reporter Siobhan Morris, as well as Showgram host Jim Richards and producers Jessie Lorraine and Jordan Whelan.

Sahar wrote she and friend Laila were protesting because "there is no honour" in Remembrance Day.

"As an Afghan Canadian my anger can be justified," she wrote. "But I faced enough verbal abuse by racist, angry old white people telling me to go back to my country, and that the Canadian military should kill more Afghans."

We have free speech here. But we also have innocent until proven guilty.

Chock-full of tradition and a fair share of pomp, Irving Berlin would have been proud of all these Easter bonnets.

{NYC’s Fifth Avenue Easter Parade}

Spring could not have picked a better day to make its grand debut in New York City as on Easter Sunday with the finest aesthetes parading down Fifth Avenue in 100-year-old tradition of the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival.

I, among the finely dressed paraders, reveled in the history of the event, which first began in the mid-1800s as high society ladies would promenade in their Easter finery following church.

But the significance of this promenade derives from the cultural phenom of Easter marking the purchase of new clothes, whichupdates to their wardrobe.

The Parade, which today runs from 49th Street to 57th Street, swelled in popularity by 1947, when more than a million people were estimated to have strolled along Fifth Avenue.

The NYC Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival, 1900.

While in 2008, the crowds only numbered around 30,000, the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival, still keeps to its other theme — an opportunity to call attention to various social issues.

This year, it was a peaceful rally for civil rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, but during the Great Depression unemployed workers demonstrated the disparity of wealth with a banner comparing the cost of one Fifth Avenue gown to a year’s worth of welfare relief for an entire family.

The grand display of finery, the prolific messages


of love, hope and joy from nearby cathedral pulpits, mixed with the beckoning calls for social awareness, all created a momentous annual event which Irving Berlin finally captured in his song “Easter Parade” after 15 years spent composing it.

While the song was released in 1933, it later inspired the 1948 musical film starring Fred Austaire and Judy Garland, “Easter Parade.”

(For context, this film “was the most financially successful picture for both Garland and Astaire as well as the highest-grossing musical of the year.”)

As for me, the Easter Parade was the epitome of early-century gaiety, likely harkening the spirit of parades gone by — and those which directly inspired Mr. Berlin’s composition of “Easter Parade” during the 1920s and early 1930s.

Thanks to Drew Nugent & The Midnight Society, asJeremy Hunt has warned that the Tories will be "annihilated" in an early general election, in an attack on Boris Johnson's Brexit strategy.

The foreign secretary issued the thinly-veiled criticism of his rival's "empty rhetoric" over a no-deal Brexit, which he warned would trigger a general election and let Jeremy Corbyn into Downing Street.

Mr Hunt has swung to the forefront of the contest with the surprise backing of cabinet Brexiteer Penny Mordaunt, who boosted his Eurosceptic credentials by saying she "trusts" him to deliver on Brexit.

Her endorsement comes after Amber Rudd, the pro-EU work and pensions secretary, threw her weight behind Mr Hunt's campaign - bolstering his chances of being Mr Johnson's primary challenger.

Winer, the Obama State Department official who acknowledged regularly interfacing with the author of the controversial, largely discredited 35-page anti-Trump dossier, served as senior vice president of a firm that did extensive pro bono work for the Clinton Global Initiative.

After his name surfaced in news media reports related to probes by House Republicans into the dossier, Winer authored a Washington Post oped in which he conceded that while he was working at the State Department he exchanged documents and information with dossier author and former British spy Christopher Steele.

Winer further acknowledged that while at the State Department, he shared anti-Trump material with Steele passed to him by longtime Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, whom Winer described as an “old friend.” Winer wrote that the


material from Blumenthal – which Winer in turn gave to Steele – originated with Cody Shearer, who is a controversial figure long tied to various Clinton scandals.

Steele was commissioned to produce the dossier by the Fusion GPS opposition research firm, which was paid for its anti-Trump work by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

The Steele dossier was reportedly utilized by the FBI in part to conduct its probe into Trump over unsubstantiated claims of collusion with Russia. According to House Intelligence Committee documents, the questionable dossier was also used by Obama administration officials to obtain a FISA warrant to conduct surveillance on Carter Page, who briefly served as a volunteer foreign policy adviser to Trump’s campaign. The political origins of the dossier and issuesrelating to Steele’s credibility as a source were kept from the FISA court, a House Republican memo documents.

From 2008 to 2013, Winer worked at the global public affairs and strategic consultancy firm APCO Worldwide, where he served as senior vice president. Before that, his bio relates he served under the Bill Clinton administration as “the State Department’s first Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Law Enforcement from 1994-1999.” He returned to the State Department in 2013.

From 2007 until 2016, APCO did extensive pro bono work for the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).

A September 10, 2008 press release announced APCO’s commitment to CGI:

As part of APCO’s CGI Commitment to Action, the consultancy will help other CGI members garner interest for the causes they are addressing, demonstrate their success and highlight the


and highlight the wide-ranging achievements of CGI as a whole.” APCO also provided communication support for attendees at annual CGI Annual meetings, later boasting that one annual meeting alone “generated 3,416 print and online stories, including articles in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Vogue, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Forbes, The Huffington Post, Reuters and Bloomberg.”

APCO Worldwide recently faced controversy when The Hill reported that paid FBI informant Douglas Campbell, who infiltrated the Russian nuclear business world, claimed to three separate congressional committees in a written statement that Russian firms had hired APCO to influence the Obama administration and specifically Hillary Clinton.

Campbell claimed he was told by Russian nuclear executives that there was a connection between APCO’s volunteer efforts for the Clintons’ charity andWiner for comment were unsuccessful.

In a statement to Breitbart News, APCO Worldwide strongly denied that its work for CGI was related to work the firm did for Tenex. The statement added that “Winer had no involvement on any matters related to Tenex or the Clinton Global Initiative. In fact, the four senior staff on the Tenex project included two former Bush Administration officials and a former staff member for a Republican member of the Senate.”

“APCO’s pro bono work for the Clinton Global Initiative is a matter of public record as part of our giving commitment reported to the UN Global Compact,” the statement continued. “This volunteer work began in 2007, three years before any discussion with Tenex, and continued until 2016, five years after the Tenex engagement ended.


stated “APCO was not involved in any aspect of Uranium One.”

Winer, meanwhile, came to APCO in June 2008 after serving as U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement

He wrote in his recent Washington Post oped that he rejoined the State Department in 2013 at the insistence of John Kerry. “In 2013, I returned to the State Department at the request of Secretary of State John F. Kerry, whom I had previously served as Senate counsel,” he wrote.

In the Post piece, Winer wrote that while he was at the State Department, he repeatedly passed documents from Steele related to Russia to State officials, including to Victoria Nuland, a career diplomat who worked under the Clintons and served as assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasianthat he also passed information from Blumenthal to Steele, specifically charges about Trump that originated with Shearer.

Winer described what he claimed was the evolution of his contacts with Blumenthal regarding Shearer’s information:

In late September, I spoke with an old friend, Sidney Blumenthal, whom I met 30 years ago when I was investigating the Iran-Contra affair for then-Sen. Kerry and Blumenthal was a reporter at the Post. At the time, Russian hacking was at the front and center in the 2016 presidential campaign. The emails of Blumenthal, who had a long association with Bill and Hillary Clinton, had been hacked in 2013 through a Russian server.

While talking about that hacking, Blumenthal and I discussed Steele’s reports. He showed me notes gathered by a journalist I did not know, Cody


his work for APCO as well as the firm’s ties to the Clinton Global Initiative and to the company whose parent purchased Uranium One.

Written with research by Joshua Klein.there were no U.S. laws in the 1930s establishing mass murder by poison gas in concentration camps. But neither were the Nazis looking for such laws. Nazis lawyers were looking for models of functioning laws on race, laws that effectively defined race in some way despite the obvious scientific difficulties, laws that restricted immigration, citizenship rights, and inter-racial marriage. In the early Twentieth Century, the recognized world leader in such things was the United States.

Troubling Parallels

Whitman quotes from the transcripts of Nazi meetings, internal documents, and published articles and books. There is no doubt of the role that U.S. (state, not just federal) legal models played in the development of the Nuremberg Laws. The 1930s was a time, we should recall, when Jews in Germany and primarily African-Americans


in the United States were lynched.

German dictator Adolf Hitler

It was also a time when U.S. immigration laws used national origin as a means of discrimination — something Adolf Hitler praised in Mein Kampf. It was a time of de facto second-class citizenship in the United States for blacks, Chinese, Filipinos, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, and others. Thirty U.S. states had systems of laws banning interracial marriage of various sorts — something the Nazis could find nowhere else and studied in comprehensive detail, among other things for the examples of how the races were defined.

The U.S. had also shown how to conquer territories of undesirables, such as in the Philippines or Puerto Rico, and incorporate them into an empire but not give first-class citizenship rights to the residents. Up untilexamined and admired the Jim Crow laws of segregation as well but determined that such a regime would only work against an impoverished oppressed group. German Jews, they reasoned, were too rich and powerful to be segregated. Some of the Nazi lawyers in the 1930s, before Nazi policy had become mass murder, also found the extent of the U.S. segregation laws too extreme.

High-ranking Nazis on trial at Nuremberg

But Nazis admired racist statements from contemporary U.S. pundits and authorities back at least to Thomas Jefferson. Some argued that because segregation was de facto established in the U.S. South despite a Constitution mandating equality, this proved that segregation was a powerful, natural, and inevitable force. In other words, U.S. practice allowed Nazis to more easily think of their own desired


thank you to Germany for reinstating Poland as a Suvereign Kingdom in 1916 (freeing Poland which was a Russian province at the time) the Polish Judeobolsheviks answered like this. Concentration-camps in Poland. Right after the Versailles peace-treaty and the re-instatement of Poland as country (by Germany) during the war the following concentration-camps (for Germans) was erected by the new Polish Government: Szcypiorno, in the Posen area, erected 1918 Stralkowo, also in the Posen area, erected 1919

In these camps about 16.000 Germans were imprisoned. These two camps were the First Concentration-camps in Europe.
From 1920 to 1939 more than a million Germans were forced to leave Poland, in many cases a hasty escape from abuse.
During the Pilsudski era further concentration-camps for Germans and Ukrainians, but also for political enemies andempty threat. Jews were an active internal enemy. At home, alert Germans had already seen the bloody Jewish revolution of 1918-1919 that installed the secessionist Judeo-Communist Bavarian Soviet Republic. While Germany was trying to fight World War 1, subversive Jewish revolutionaries like Kurt Eisner, Gustav Landauer, Ernst Toller, and Eugen Leviné were murdering innocent Germans at home. By the time the Jews formally declared war on Germany in 1933, Germans had already seen millions die in the Jewish-led-and-funded Communist revolutions of the early twentieth century in Russia, Hungary, Bavaria, and elsewhere in Europe. There was a holocaust of over 60 million at the hands of Judeo-Bolshevism, but there was no jewish holocaust.

“Already in 1940 it became increasingly clear from month to month that the plans of the men in the Kremlin were aimed at the domination, and thus the destruction, of all of Europe.

That Jew’s name is Hugo Preuss, and it was through his gift to the German people that Hindenburg was empowered to appoint Hitler. It usually goes unnoticed that if the old system had been substantially preserved after the Great War, the central government of Germany would have remained much less powerful than it was made by the Jews under their precious republic. But the Jewish do-gooder always knows better. Thus did the new republic concentrate control over welfare statism, and with that expense comes the need for fiscal control, too. The Jew republic also led to another great irony of the dread Shoah, namely, that the Austrian rabble rouser from the lower classes was

Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II

There are certainly some parallels, and in the first half of the 20st century, ideas of racism and eugenics were generally more widespread, both in the United States and in imperialist European colonial powers. The Nazis could build their more extreme ideology on elements that had significant support in other countries, as well.

However, slavery and Jim Crow have many distinctively American characteristics, and while antisemitism was widespread in many countries, the systematic attempt by Nazi to exterminate Jews went far beyond racistand discriminatory policies in other countries.

There is another parallelism that could be more significant – the genocide of Native Americans and the Nazi idea of Lebensraum for the German people in the East, which would have involved planned mass starvings of the Eastern European population in order to create space for Germans after a German victory. The historian Timothy Snyder shows that the Nazi’s interpretation of the success of White people in North America against the indigenous peoples was one of the sources of the ideology about German Lebensraum in the East.

We can fault such positions as going overboard. But why is it that U.S. writers rarely write about


scheme.

Both Nazism and Zionism arose in tandem from small insignificant social movements, arguing, with equal force, that Jews were an alien and indigestible mass living in the midst of an otherwise pure Aryan population. Both movements contributed to the widespread acceptance of this argument as mid-century approached, and both have to be held responsible for its outcomes. Jewish historian Lenny Brenner has written three excellent books on the Zionist-Nazi collaboration, which culminated in the Haavara Agreement, by which the SS relocated 60,000 German Jews, with all their property, to Palestine. The British government stepped in to sabotage the project by banning further German Jewish emigration to the Palestine Mandate. During the war the British in fact did everything in their power to prevent Jews from leaving German-controlled territory.Samir Kassir Square

Square Four (renamed Samir Kassir Square in 2006) is a small, more or less rectangular, public space that occupies a site of 815 square metres in the heart of the Beirut Central Business District (CBD). It is bordered by buildings on three sides and by a street on the fourth, or eastern, side. The square is defined by two large ficus, which are amongst the few mature trees in the area, and are large enough to shade most of the space. A reflecting pool with water cascading over its edges marks the border between the street and Square Four. The pool is flanked on the west by a rectangular timber deck that also encircles the two ficus trees. In turn, the platform is bordered on the


west by a solid stone bench that is about 20 metres long. The western side is defined by a bermed area that accommodates the downward slope of the site. This bermed area is planted with a ground cover of dwarf Natal plum (carissa macrocarpa), known for its dark evergreen leaves and for its white star-shaped flowers and red berries, which grow throughout the year. Square Four provides a quiet place of refuge within the busy surrounding urban context. It is marked by the shade of the ficus trees, by the sound of the water cascading from the reflecting pool and by the carefully studied visual balance between three elements: the trees and the ground cover; the reflecting sheet of water, and the hard-scaped surfaces of stone and wood.The Coalition has launched a series of rallies at the bank's headquarters, its popular New York City branch and at the offices of Berkshire Hathaway to protest M&T Bank's role as security agent for a housing fund which has left Czech coal miners homeless

NEW YORK, Aug 1, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - The Coalition to Protect OKD Miners ("the Coalition"), an organization created to advocate on behalf of Czech coal miners, has put M&T Bank and its subsidiary Wilmington Trust on notice with protests conducted at M&T Bank's Headquarters in Buffalo, NY; M&T Bank's popular branch located at 11 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036. Meanwhile, rallies took place outside of Berkshire Hathaway's offices in Omaha, NE as demonstrators wore superman outfits asking Buffett, its Founder and


CEO to be a superhero and "save the miners from homelessness". Berkshire Hathaway holds approximately 3.62 percent of outstanding shares of M&T Bank based on the end of year 2017 reporting period and has owned the stock in some form since 1991.

M&T Bank, through its subsidiary Wilmington Trust, acts as security agent for Fondy Bydleni, a Luxembourg-based housing fund which owns the Czech property firm RESIDOMO. RESIDOMO and Fondy Bydleni have refused to honor a contractual agreement to provide discounted housing units to Czech coal miners in the city of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The contract in question was originally made between KARBON Invest and the Czech government as part of KARBON Invest's bid to privatize the originally state-owned coal company, OKD. Specifically, the deal stated explicitly that thehousing units of OKD Miners were to be preserved as reduced cost units. Working with KARBON Invest, Bakala subsequently obtained control of OKD using New World Resources N.V ("NWR), an international energy firm which he also controlled at the time. As a result, OKD thus became a subsidiary of NWR and the housing units became controlled by Bakala.

After allegedly plundering OKD by taking excessive profits for himself, Bakala sold the housing units to Fondy Bydleni by selling them 100% of RESIDOMO. Fondy Bydleni is backed primarily by Blackstone and by Round Hill Capital. Blackstone and Round Hill have thus far refused to honor the terms of the 2004 contract.

This entire matter is the subject of intense litigation as well as criminal investigation by authorities in the United States,


Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Poland and the EU. In the Czech Republic, the special investigation committee of the Czech Parliament is investigating the issue directly.

The coalition believes that M&T Bank, as the security agent, has the power to compel Fondy Bydleni to act through RESIDOMO to honor the terms of the 2004 contract. Moreover, the coalition believes that Warren Buffett, as a long-time shareholder of M&T Bank, can use his influence with management and his equity to make the bank act as a constructive player in this situation.

The Coalition, through this protest and future events, plans to make its case to all relevant entities to immediately resolve the housing crisis. The coalition has set up a website at www.StopBakala.org to communicate in greater depth regardingVivian El Jaber

Postural control and head stability during natural gaze behaviour in 6- to 12-year-old children.
We investigated how the influence of natural exploratory gaze behaviour on postural control develops from childhood into adulthood. In a cross-sectional design, we compared four age groups: 6-, 9-, 12-year-olds and young adults. Two experimental trials were performed: quiet stance with a fixed gaze (fixed) and quiet stance with natural exploratory gaze behaviour (exploratory). The latter was elicited by having participants watch an animated short film on a large screen in front of them. 3D head rotations in space and centre of pressure (COP) excursions on the ground plane were measured. Across conditions, both head rotation and COP displacement decreased with increasing age. Head movement was greater in the exploratory condition in all age groups.On-Air Now

Personal tragedy shadowed Rachel Glover's quest to become the Isle of Man's first Commonwealth Games female shooting medallist at the Belmont Shooting Centre.

Circuit Court decided the case in March 2000, EPA asked the court to lift the
stay on the NOx SIP submittal for States and give the states the same amount
of time they would have had to submit their SIPs, had the stay not been
imposed in the first place.   Industry sources opposed lifting the stay, and
also asked the court to move the complaince deadlineback a year, due to the
delays caused by the litigation.

The Court lifted the stay on June 22, 2000, but was silent on the issue of
the compliance deadline.  States are now required to develop their "State
Implementation Plans" (SIPs) by October 31, 2000.

Yesterday, the Court decided that sources should have until May 2004 to
comply, giving sources an extra year to prepare for the new regulatory regime.

Remaining Questions

With the previous 2003 compliance deadline, the NOx SIP Call regulations were
on the same time schedule as the Section 126 petitions, which were approved
by EPA (though a separate regulatory process -- a nearly-identical fallback
to the NOx SIP call) for many of the same sources and states as the NOx SIP
Call.   The


Section 126 Rule is going to be litigated starting this coming
November, but the Court has not yet issued a stay of those regulation, nor
has it delayed the compliance deadline to 2003.   Unless the Court places a
stay on the 126 Rule and delays the compliance deadline to 2004, sources
could still be required to make substantial NOx reductions starting in May
2003.   We expect the Courts to resolve this issue sometime before the 126
litigation commences in early November.

Katy Perry has expertly navigated a career that has shaped her into a sex symbol for males in addition to a figure of female empowerment for young girls — at least that's what her latest GQ profile aims to argue.

The 29-year-old Grammy nominee poses in a skimpy striped one-piece for GQ's February cover and opened up to reporter Amy Wallace about, well, just about everything. Perry goes glam in several of the mag's pin-up-inspired photos, smoldering in the suggestive come-hither spread.

Here are a few key quotes from the "Unconditionally" singer's interview, which took place just before Perry's controversial American Music Awards performance in November.

On why she donned a powdered "Yellow Face" as a geisha for the performance: "I was thinking


Obama gets any better, I'm going to ask him that question. It just hasn't been appropriate yet."

On her relationship with President Obama: "I might have won Wisconsin for him," she said. "Actually, I didn't do too much, but he called on me a couple of times. Which was very nice."

On her relationship with her parents: They're "oddballs, but I love them."

On getting back together with singer John Mayer, with whom she's also collaborated musically: "I think that I needed to grow up." The singer emphasized that they were just dating and that she's "just having a wonderful experience with a wonderful guy. There's no rush."

A survivor of last week's school shooting in Florida has denied claims he is an actor with an anti-gun agenda.

Speaking on CNN, student David Hogg said he was a witness.

Conspiracy theorists online have accused the survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High of being paid actors who travel between the sites of mass shootings.

An aide to a Republican state representative has been fired for repeating the unsubstantiated claims.

David Hogg denounced the allegations on Tuesday night.

"I'm not a crisis actor," David said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.

"I'm someone who had to witness this and live through this and I continue to be having to


do that."

"I'm not acting on anybody's behalf."

What are the claims?

Conspiracy theorists' unsubstantiated claims online are that some of the Florida shooting survivors are actually paid actors, who travel between sites of mass shootings to push an anti-gun agenda.

Similar theories circulated on social media after the Las Vegas shooting in October, the worst in modern US history.

An aide to a Florida state representative, Benjamin Kelly, sent an email to the Tampa Bay Times repeating those online claims about David Hogg and his fellow students.

Florida representative Shawn Harrison, whom Mr Kelly worked for, fired his former aide on Tuesday night and denounced his behaviour in atweet.

Florida senator Marco Rubio also denounced the claims made against David and his fellow students, calling those who made them "disgusting idiots".

Some theorists online even suggested David Hogg cannot be trusted because his father used to work for the FBI.

One post on Twitter had the headline "Outspoken Trump-Hating School Shooting Survivor is Son of FBI Agent; MSM Helps Prop Up Incompetent Bureau", linking to a video in which David spoke in favour of tighter gun control.

Son of the US president Donald Trump Jr. was criticised for liking the tweet.

President Trump meanwhile signed an order to ban "bump stocks", modifications on guns that increase the firing rate.

Aphids and the plant viruses they transmit cause billions of dollars in crop damage around the world every year. Researchers in Michelle Heck's lab at the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Boyce Thompson Institute are examining the relationship at the molecular level, which could lead to new methods for controlling the pests.

Heck's group used recently developed small RNA sequencing techniques to better understand how plant viruses interact with aphids. In an unanticipated discovery, Heck and her team uncovered what may be the first example of a plant virus and an insect virus cooperating to increase the likelihood that both viruses will spread to other plant and aphid hosts.

The work was published in the May 22 issue of Phytobiomes journal. The researchers focused on the green peach aphid (Myzus[Acute promyelocytic leukemia accompanied by scrotal Fournier's gangrene during ATRA treatment and relapsed as external ear tumor].
A 43-year-old man was admitted because of gingival bleeding. A diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was made. He was given combination chemotherapy including all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). During the myelosuppression stage, the patient developed Fournier's gangrene of the scrotum. He achieved complete remission and underwent a hemicastration procedure. Seven months later, bilateral external ear tumors developed. Biopsy specimens of the tumors revealed infiltration of APL cells. A second remission was obtained by chemotherapy including ATRA. However, bilateral ear tumors developed again 5 months later despite indications of normal marrow without proliferation of leukemic blasts. Irradiation successfully reduced the ear tumors, but the patient died of cerebral hemorrhage from a left frontal

In this tense, gripping novel by a star of Korean literature, Oghi has woken from a coma after causing a devastating car accident that took his wife's life and left him paralyzed and badly disfigured. His caretaker is his mother-in-law, a widow grieving the loss of her only child. Oghi is neglected and left alone in his bed. His world shrinks to the room he lies in and his memories of his troubled relationship with his wife, a sensitive, intelligent woman who found all of her life goals thwarted except for one: cultivating the garden in front of their house. But soon Oghi notices his mother-in-law in the abandoned garden, uprooting what his wife had worked so hard to plant and obsessively digging larger and larger holes."Doc, these events are going to define our lives, just the same way Vietnam did for yours."

It’s been 70 years since the end of World War II in Europe. The German leadership signed the unconditional surrender after a final battle that flattened Berlin. Some 600,000 apartments were destroyed, along with many public buildings. Much of the damage remained visible for decades to come, particularly along the route of the Berlin Wall that divided the city between East and West. But there has been substantial redevelopment since German reunification in 1990, and today many parts of the city are utterly unrecognizable.

The Brandenburg Gate, arguably Berlin’s most famous symbol, remained in ruins for the Cold War period and beyond due to its location right next to the Berlin Wall. It was fully restored between 2000 and 2002.

“There was just flashing lights. No sirens or anything,” she said.

Late Monday police identified the three officers involved. They are: Sgt. James Mooney, a 10-year veteran of the force, and Officer Michael Gonzalez, a 2-year veteran. Each used lethal force. In addition, police said 2-year veteran Aaron Rizzo used less lethal force.

The three involved officers were put on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure after police shootings.

The incident was the second fatal Portland Police Bureau shooting this year.

As a very, very green – green as in no experience – aspiring journalist many years ago, I now know how fortunate I was to have the opportunity to endure a few months of sheer terror working under the knowing influence of a truly accomplished city editor. At an impressionable age, those few weeks of education at the hands of an exacting news veteran have had a marked impact on all the years of my professional life.

My early mentor, at least as I remember him, always had a pencil stuck behind his ear and the sleeves of his white shirts rolled up above the elbows. He would issue newsroom orders while never rising from his chair and would reinforce the urgency of whatever he wantedI cannot imagine the economic pressures crowding in on newsrooms today. All I know for sure is that lots of us – devoted consumers and users of news – still depend on the work product of the daily craft. Keep after it.

Following Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) training in the CH-46 helicopter, he served in the following operational squadrons and assignments: Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364 (HMM-364), HMM-162, HMM-365, and was the commanding officer of HMM-165 from July 2001 to May 2003. His deployments included Unit Deployments to Okinawa, Landing Force, U.S. 6th Fleet (LF6F) Deployments, U.S. 5th Fleet Deployments, and participation in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom I (OIF I).  Additionally, he served as a flight instructor in Pensacola, Florida and did a tour with 2nd Air and NavalHappy ending? Not so fast. Schand wanted fair relief from the state for robbing him of half his life. He missed raising his three sons and, even after his release, was unable to support them financially. In 2004, the Legislature approved a wrongful conviction compensation law to indemnify people like Schand with up to $500,000. But, as detailed in a recent report from the New England Center for Investigative Reporting, published by the Globe, the legal path toward restitution is long and replete with unnecessary barriers.

Mark Schand spent 27 years behind bars before his wrongful conviction was overturned. He had been found guilty of fatally shooting a 25-year-old woman outside a Springfield nightclub in 1986 and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Schand had always maintained his


innocence and pleaded not guilty. For years his lawyers argued the evidence was faulty, that witnesses had been coerced, and that he was 30 miles away, in Hartford, the night the crime was committed. In 2013, thanks to the legal help of a nonprofit that investigates wrongful convictions, Schand became a free man after a judge granted him a new trial and Hampden County prosecutors dropped the murder charge.

The main problem is that the process is designed to be lengthy and confrontational. While other states that offer indemnification for unjust incarceration appoint boards or a commissioner to decide whether the former prisoner deserves compensation, in Massachusetts the case is decided in Superior Court. That means people like Schand, who are already coming out of lengthy legal cases afterstatute pace along Piccadilly, unobstructed by

stand for the last hour. In the Haymarket, however, the progression
was more difficult; for there already had congregated many a loaded
cart, the drivers of which, as usual, had, with skillful zeal,
contrived to place them as a regular fortification, obstructing every
step of the way. Gin and purl, too, were reeking up to the sky from
the various temples of the rosy god that line the west side of the
street; and, amidst the bargainings of some early dealers, and the
pæans of the gin-drinkers, no one attended to the

unprincipled, and vulgar churl dares to attack, solely because he
knows that the churchman can neither rail again, nor chastise him as
other men would do. I would not change it, I say, on any account
whatever. I am happy as I am here in the country, and I want nothing

surgeon was averse to set bounds, yet afraid to give full course, he
deemed it best to wait upon that gentleman, and state what he thought
necessary.

"In regard to medicines, and every thing of that kind, my dear sir,"
replied Burrel, who was found with half a dozen half-written letters
before him, "in regard to medicines, and every thing of that kind, I
must let him trust to you. As to diet, the _juvantia_ and _l[oe]dentia_
must be explained to my man, who shall have full orders to provide all

his patrons. In short, he seemed to have in his head, all ticketed and
ready for use, a store of arguments, moral, legal, and philosophical,
in favor of every thing that could be done, said, or thought, by the
wealthy or the powerful. In the present instance, he saw that Lord
Ashborough put the matter as one not quite decided in his own mind;
but he saw also, that his mind had such a leaning to the new view of
the matter, as would make him very much obliged to any one who would
push it over to that


convenience, yet, situated
as you are, I can enter into all your feelings for your sister. Set
your mind at rest then," he added, laying his hand frankly and kindly
on his companion's arm--"set your mind at rest then, as far as I am
concerned. It is my intention, as soon as I can entertain any hope of
success, to offer my hand to your sister. If she refuse me, it is not
my fault you know; but this much you will, I am sure, take upon my
word, that I would not presume for one moment to solicit the hand of a
daughter of Sir Sidney Delaware, unless in rank I could aspire to that
honor, and in fortune could maintain her in that circle which she is
calculated to adorn. Let us say no more uponof
the world's baseness, or by the exhortations of others. He was
susceptible, indeed, and easily perceived when a slight was intended,
or when the least approach to scorn was felt toward him or his; but
deeper and blacker feelings escaped his observation, if covered by
even a slight disguise. In the present instance he was completely
deceived. His drive out with his fair cousin in the morning had proved
so delightful, that he began to doubt the efficacy of the water of the
Prior's Fountain, and to feel that many such drives might make him
either very happy, or very much the contrary. But the kind attention
of Lord Ashborough, his changed demeanor, and the hopes to which it
gave rise, were all sources of unmixed pleasure. The evening passed,
away in delight; and when, on visiting Mr. Tims


Forgive me!
But for your sake--for your own sake--for both our sakes, it is better

The rest died upon her lips. Enough, however, had been spoken to make
the rejection decisive; and yet it was spoken in such a tone as to
betray deep grief as well as agitation on her own part; and to
awaken--not suspicions--but a thousand vague and whirling fancies in
Burrel's brain.

"And will not Miss Delaware," he said, at length, "at least console me
for broken hopes, and the first love of my heart crushed forever, by
assigning some cause for this change in her opinion of one who is
unconscious of having done any thing to offend or pain her?"

Blanche was again silent, and turned away her head, while the sighs
came thick and deep, and thelong before
passed away from his own bosom; but his personal experience of
sickness had taught him to sympathize with it far more than his son
could do, and he was about to visit Blanche's chamber immediately, had
not the business of Mr. Tims first attracted him for a moment, and
then detained him till breakfast was over, and his son was about to
depart.

With manifold directions to express surprise at the miser's want of
punctuality, Captain Delaware was dismissed by his father, and took
the way direct to Ryebury, fully determined to enforce Sir Sidney's
rebuke, with many more indignant expressions. "Here," he thought, "my
father might have been pressed severely by this time--insulted--nay,
even arrested--because this scoundrel has not thought fit to produce
the money--doubtless, keeping it to get the additional interest of a
single day. If it were


the country round, he directed his course to a
hamlet, which lay at a distance of about a mile and a half from
Ryebury, and which was possessed of a little public-house, in the
stable of which he could put up his horse, while he himself proceeded
on foot to the dwelling of the miser. The sun was just down as he
reached the hamlet; and after having examined, with habitual care, the
accommodation for his horse, he walked out, and took his way toward
Ryebury, in the midst of as splendid an evening as ever poured through
the autumnal sky. A flood of rich purple was gushing from the west,
with two or three soft clouds of rose color and gold, hanging about
the verge of the sky, while all the rest was blue, "with one star
lookingwould
suffer your heart to be won, unless I knew that the man who sought it,

not call it a caprice, for my sister is above that--but some idle
delicacy--some over-retiring modesty, I am afraid."

"No, no, William, I can assure you!" replied Blanche Delaware, raising
her head; "I could be above all that too--but it can not be."

"But, my dear Blanche," said Captain Delaware, more seriously than he
had hitherto spoken--for he had endeavored to mingle a playfulness
with his tenderness--"but, my dear Blanche, you must assign some
reason--at least to me. Burrel will think that we have all trifled
with him. I stood virtually pledged to him for your hand, on condition

adversity that inundate this briny
world, sink the soul down to the bottom of despair the moment that the
life preserver, dashed against some sharp rock, or beaten by some more
violent surge, suffers the waters to flow in, and the fine elastic air
to escape. Not many weeks before, Blanche Delaware would have
wondered, in the happy contentedness of her own heart, at the anxiety
and disappointment of her brother and her father, and would have
looked upon the events which they seemed to regret so bitterly, but as
a very small and easily borne misfortune. But in the present
depression of her spirits, it overwhelmed her even more than it did
them. Her own grief was so deep, that she could not well bear any
more; and, soon after her brother's return, she retired to her chamber
tobut that he
trusted that it would be so in the course of the day.

The face of Mr. Peter Tims grew dark; not that he did not anticipate
the very words he heard, but that he thought fit to suit his looks to
his actions. "Ha! then," he cried, "my lord was right, sir!--my lord
was right, when he said he was sure that the annuity would never be
redeemed, and that the only object was to reduce the interest. But I
can tell you, Sir Sidney, that such conduct will not do with us!" and
he made a sign to his clerk, who instantly left the room. "We had
heard something of this yesterday, and that made me come as far
as ---- last night."

Sir Sidney Delaware's cheek grew red, and his lip quivered, but it


him for the kindness and promptitude of the service
he had rendered--how he might arrive-at the facts of his situation in
regard to Blanche; and whether he would be justified in communicating
at once to Sir Sidney his cousin's real name, without consulting
Beauchamp himself. In the mean while, the baronet walked backward and
forward--now looked out of the window--now talked with his son,
feeling that degree of pleasant perturbation, that sort of long swell,
which remains after some moment of peculiar agitation is happily over,
and the mind is settling down slowly into a calm.

Before his son had finished his breakfast, however, Sir Sidney
remarked that there seemed a great many people in the park. "I
suppose," he said, "the worthy lawyer has informed the good folks of
the town that we are rather more than a thousandto die like a common felon! My
name and my family to be branded with infamy forever! My father to
expire of shame within the year; and my poor Blanche, if she survive,
to be pointed at for life as the sister of the murderer, William
Delaware! Ay!" he thought, more bitterly still, "and Beauchamp will
thank his good stars which kept him from such an alliance; and Maria
Beauchamp may perhaps blush when she remembers that the murderer was
her cousin. But time," he cried, starting up, "time will do me
justice, and clear my name; and then she may weep to think how I was
wronged, and how she believed it!"

After walking up and down the room for some time, in a state of mind
which it would be difficult to describe, he took down a


a jest of him, and he consequently
found himself waxing vastly indignant. His anger, however, led him
into no extravagance; and, after having put a variety of other
questions to his companion, who did not choose to give a
straightforward answer to any of them, his wrath assumed the form of
sullen silence, which he expected would soon be received as a hint to
retire.

In this he was mistaken. Cousins remained with outstretched feet and
emulative silence, filling his glass unbidden, with a fond reliance on
the generosity of the lawyer's disposition, for all which he was
heartily given to the devil full a dozen times within the next
half-hour. At the end of that period, the landlord again appeared at
the door, and gave Mr. Cousins a nod. The officer immediately started
upon his feet, and wishing Mr. TimsEmberton. It was
dark, however, ere he arrived; and the first object that met his sight
the following morning, as he looked forth from the windows of the inn,
was the old mansion, at the end of its wide and solitary park, with
the stream flowing calmly on, through the midst of the brown grass and
antique trees, and the swans floating upon its bosom in the early
light. He had not seen it since he was a mere youth, and the finger of
time had written that sad word _decay_ on the whole aspect of the
place. To the earl, through whose whole frame the same chilly hand had
spread the growing stiffness of age, the sight was awfully sad, of the
place where he had spent the most elastic days of life, and it was
long ere
