period race. By the time the highly respected racing driver Piper got behind the wheel, he had already been very successful in single-seater racing, specifically Formula 2 and also Formula 1, and continues to remain active in the collector car hobby.

VINTAGE COMPETITION

In 1967 the GTO was sold by Margulies to Jack Le Fort, a fellow Englishman who ran the car twice at the Prescott Speed Hill Climb before selling it a year later to noted collector Neil Corner. In fact, the car’s entire vintage racing career and subsequent chain of ownership is not only incredibly illustrious, it includes the collection of gentlemen who are rightfully considered among the foremost motoring enthusiasts in the world and whose association with 3413 further serves to confirm the importance of such acar.

In 1970 Corner entered the GTO at a race held in conjunction with the Bugatti Drivers Club Meeting at Silverstone, and shortly afterwards the car was acquired by respected collector Lord Anthony Bamford of Stoke-on-Trent. Both Corner and Bamford have owned some of the rarest and most sought-after cars in the world, including multiple GTOs, no less, and their attention to acquiring the very best is impeccable. Lord Bamford attended the English Ferrari Owners Club meet at Prescott in July 1972 and retained possession of the spectacular GTO until the 1980s, when he sold the Ferrari to collector Nigel Moores.

In 1988 Moores sold 3413 to Japanese collector Yoshijuki Hayashi, though the car remained domiciled in the UK. The Ferrari participated in European vintage events during this ownership, including


the GTO 30th Anniversary Tour in September 1992, and the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 1993 (British restoration and racing expert Tony Merrick drove the car at both events). The GTO was purchased from Hayashi in April 1994 by Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones of London, then Chairman and CEO of L’Oréal and a respected motoring enthusiast in his own right – in fact, his association with the Ferrari brand is well established and includes serving on the board of directors of Ferrari SpA. Notable events in his ownership included a showing at the Coys Historic Race Festival at Silverstone in 1994 and 1995.

In January 2000, this highly significant Ferrari was purchased by the consignor, an esteemed collector based in the Pacific Northwest, who has continued to present, race,was regularly exhibited and driven around the world, including four appearances at the Cavallino Classic between 2001 and 2008 and four seasons in the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge between 2001 and 2009. Chassis 3413 also participated in the GTO 40th Anniversary tour in September 2002; the Monterey Historic Races in August 2004, 2008, and 2011; the GTO 45th Anniversary tour in 2007; the Goodwood Revival Meeting in 2011; and the GTO 50th and 55th Anniversary tours, respectively, held in 2012 and 2017. The car was furthermore presented during the GTO celebration at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it was reunited with 17 of its GTO brethren. The car is most certainly one of the most actively campaigned and successful GTOs in the world.

Wild turkeys are abundant in Minnesota

I was fortunate to have played a part in the first wild turkey releases in Clearwater County, Minn. During the winter of 2008 in a collaborative effort between National Wild Turkey Federation and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, including Wisconsin DNR, I helped release 36 adult wild turkeys at two different private land locations in the county — northwest of Bagley and east of Clearbrook. Each of the sites was carefully selected based on the areas’ unique habitat blend of agriculture and mixed coniferous and deciduous woodlands.

My most memorable experience was when I held in my arms the largest of the


series about North American birds, is considered one of America’s prominent ornithologists. In his Life Histories of North American Gallinaceous Birds, the author writes of the eastern wild turkey, Melagris gallapavo silvestris, “When the noble red man roamed and hunted unrestrained throughout the virgin forests of eastern North America, this magnificent bird, the wild turkey, another noble native of America, clad in a feathered armor of glistening bronze, also enjoyed the freedom of the forests from Maine to Ontario, southward and westward”. “But”, he continued, “the coming of the white man to our shores spelled the beginning of the end for both of these picturesque Americans”.

Turkeys were hunted extensively when the first Europeans arrived in North America. Native Americans hunted the turkey only occasionally and used the feathers— serve a unique purpose. During the spring breeding season adult gobblers compete with other males for the attention of hens. Toms will establish “strutting zones” and will aggressively defend these areas from other toms. Though a true woodland bird, during the mating season these displays are performed where they can be easily seen, such as forested openings, field edges, and along trails.

Eastern wild turkeys have been released throughout much of Minnesota over the past three decades. From the release of only a few birds in the 1960s, the wild turkey population has grown to well over 60,000 birds today (2006 estimate). Population density is highest in southeastern Minnesota, but good numbers exist in the central and northwestern parts of the state as well.

Clarence Valley teams have performed strongly in the first Futsal Premier League, with Junction Hill Magic reaching the grand final in the under-10s, and the Grafton Strikers in the final for the U12s and U14s.

"We've been working really hard since we started in Grafton nearly four years ago and that was always our goal, to establish the sport and built its reputation," Fenerich said.

As North Coast Futsal looks to build on this year's success, Fenerich said expansion could be on the cards for the competition.

"The plan is to run the competition in a similar format, with the inclusion of a new youth age group that would encompass the 15 to 17-year-olds," he said.

"Hopefully we can get some more people involved, and possible one or two new teams inA federal judge in the US state of Louisiana has granted final approval to an estimated $20bn settlement over the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, resolving years of litigation over what caused one of the biggest ever environmental disasters.

The settlement, first announced in July last year, includes $5.5bn in civil Clean Water Act penalties and billions more to cover environmental damage and other claims by the five US states along the Gulf coast, including Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana.

The money is to be paid out over roughly 16 years for what has been called the biggest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry.

The US Justice Department has estimated that the settlement will cost the oil giant as much as


$20.8bn, the largest environmental settlement in US history as well as the largest ever civil settlement with a single entity.

US District Judge Carl Barbier, who approved the settlement, had set the stage with an earlier ruling that BP had been "grossly negligent" in the offshore rig explosion which killed 11 workers and caused a 134-million-gallon spill.

In 2012, BP reached a similar settlement agreement with private attorneys for businesses and residents who claim the spill cost them money.

That deal, which did not have a cap, led to a protracted court battle over subsequent payouts to businesses. A court-supervised claims administrator is still processing many of these claims.

BP has estimated that its costs related to the spill, including its initial cleanup work and the various settlements and criminal and civilpenalties, will exceed $53bn.

"We are pleased that the Court has entered the Consent Decree, finalising the historic settlement announced last July," BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said in an email.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch praised the settlement.

"Today's action holds BP accountable with the largest environmental penalty of all time while launching one of the most extensive environmental restoration efforts ever undertaken," Lynch said in a statement.

In Louisiana, where delicate coastal marshes were damaged by the oil, Governor John Bel Edwards said the decision clears the way for the state to receive critical coastal restoration funding. Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange, who acted as a coordinating lawyer for the five Gulf states, also was among those touting the settlement.

The attraction of evil and the destruction of meaning.
Does the concept of evil deserve special formulation in the realm of psychoanalytic thought? In agreement with authors such as Meltzer (1992) and De Masi (2003) and through selected moments from a boy's long analysis, I will propose a definition of evil as a state of mind, characterized by disregard for the human quality of the object and the destruction of meaning and meaningfulness of life in and for others. Evil drains, perverts and strips symbols of intentions and goals, leaving them empty of emotional significance. In my patient, the state of mind that he called evil exerted a seductive appeal and was accompanied by a sadistic excitement that he elevated into a state of sexualized well-being, which progressively pervertedand destroyed emotional meaning, contributing to his confusion and desperation. Confronting this pathological configuration and describing the situation that I felt existed within his mind and between us, and rearticulating emotional meaning where it had been perverted, cannibalized or left empty, was the principal - and at times only - clinical instrument available to lead him out of his descent into nothingness.

Corporal punishment in early education and child care settings

In 2011, the Education and Care Services National Law was introduced by way of an applied law system where the host jurisdiction (Victoria) passed the law (Education and Care Service National Law Act 2010) and other jurisdictions adopted that law or passed corresponding legislation (Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), 2013a).

Under the Education and Care Service National Law Act 2010 (Vic.) section 166 it is an offence for a provider, nominated supervisor, staff member, volunteer or family day care educator of an approved education and care serviceto subject a child to any form of corporal punishment. This prohibition is also contained within the National Quality Standards (ACECQA, 2013b). However, not all jurisdictions have specifically included corporal punishment as an offence under individual state and territory education and care services legislation. Variations to the applied law by jurisdiction are described in Table 2 below.

Corporal punishment in primary and secondary schools

New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria are the only states that have explicitly prohibited the use of corporal punishment in all schools. While the ACT has not explicitly banned corporal punishment in non-government schools, the current interpretation of the law is that the ban applies to all school contexts.

There remains some ambiguity in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australian law, where amendments have


in “all schools”. The Act does not explicitly state that it relates to both government and non-government schools; however, the interpretation is that it applies to both. NSW The Children (Education and Care Services) National Law (NSW) No 104a s 166 2010 Corporal punishment was banned in government schools in NSW pursuant to the Education Act 1990 (NSW). An amendment to the Act (the Education Discipline Act 1995, which came into effect in 1997) extended the ban on corporal punishment to non-government schools. The Children (Education and Care Services) National Law (NSW) No 104a 2010 states that it is an offence for an approved provider of an education and care service to subject a child being educated and cared for by a service to use any form ofcorporal punishment or any unreasonable discipline in the circumstances. NT Education and Care Services (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011 NT In the Education and Care Services (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011 not all education settings are prohibited from using corporal punishment. In 2009, the Northern Territory amended the Education Act requiring that the use of corporal punishment be banned in non-government schools as part of the school registration requirements. There is currently no provision banning or permitting the use of corporal punishment in government schools. The Criminal Code Act (NT) still makes it lawful for teachers to use corporal punishment unless parents expressly withhold their consent to such forms of correction. Qld Criminal Code Act 1899 (280) Queensland prohibited the use of corporal punishment in state schools in


1989 by repealing provisions that allowed for it in the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld). For corporal punishment in non-state schools the Criminal Code Act section 280 states: It is lawful for a person in the place of a parent, or for a schoolteacher or master, to use, by way of correction, discipline, management or control, towards a child or pupil, under the person’s care such force as is reasonable under the circumstances. SA Education (Amendment) Act 1991 (SA) South Australia repealed provisions that allowed for corporal punishment in schools in 1991 in the Education (Amendment) Act 1991 (SA). Prohibition of corporal punishment is also included in the Education and Early Childhood Services (Registration and Standards) Act 2011. Tas. Education Act 1994 (Tas.) s 82A Education AmendmentAct 1999 (Tas.) Corporal punishment was banned in both government and non-government schools in 1999 under the Education Amendment Act 1999 (Tas.). The amendment specified that the principals of both state and registered schools are responsible for ensuring that students under their care are not subjected to corporal punishment. Vic. Education and Care Services National Law Act 2010 Education and Training Reform Regulations (reg 14) 2007 Corporal punishment was banned in government schools in 1985. It was banned in non-government schools in 2006 following the enactment of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic.). The prohibition of corporal punishment is also outlined in the Education and Training Reform Regulations 2007 and the Education and Care Services National Law Act 2010. WA Education and Care Services National Law


(WA) Act 2012 The Criminal Code Act Corporal punishment is banned in government schools under the Education and Care Services National Law Act 2012 (WA) The School Education Regulations 2000 state that a student at a government school is not to be disciplined by way of corporal punishment. Regulations banning corporal punishment do not extend to non-government schools. The Criminal Code Act section 257 states that it is lawful to use “such force as is reasonable under the circumstances”.

Corporal punishment in alternative residential care settings

In residential care settings including residential centres and foster care, corporal punishment is prohibited in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

Corporal punishment remains lawful in Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the Northern Territory (see Table 4).

Table 4: Current AustralianChild Protection Act 1999 (s 122) The Child Protection Act 1999 prohibits the use of corporal punishment of a child placed in care. SA Family and Community Services Regulations 2009 The Family and Community Services Regulations 2009 under the Family and Community Services Act 1972 prohibits the use of corporal punishment of a child placed in care.

4 Marijuana Polls With 1 Overwhelming Consensus: Legalize

The divide between Congress and the American public over pot couldn't be more pronounced.

The marijuana industry is growing like a weed. Pardon the corny pun, but it's the truth, regardless of which source you prefer.

ArcView, a leading cannabis research firm, suggests that the legal cannabis market in North America could to grow by 26% a year through 2021 to almost $22 billion. Meanwhile, Marijuana Business Daily's newest report, "Marijuana Business Factbook 2017," expects legal U.S. sales to soar by 45% in 2018, likely as a result of California opening itsdoors to legal recreational weed sales. Investment firm Cowen & Co. has taken things even further by calling for a $50 billion U.S. market by 2026. Such a scenario likely assumes full legalization at the federal level.

The marijuana industry's ceiling is pretty low in the U.S.

Yet despite these robust growth estimates, the U.S. marijuana industry has a low ceiling relative to its potential. That's because pot is a Schedule I drug on Capitol Hill, which means it is wholly illegal, just like heroin and LSD, and has no recognized medical benefits. It's also classified as a drug with a high potential for abuse.

This Schedule I classification creates a world of problems for marijuana companies. For instance, medical cannabis researchers are buried by red tape. While


Sessions. A little over a week ago, Sessions announced that he'd be rescinding the Cole memo, which had loosely protected states that had legalized in some capacity from federal intervention. The "rules" presented by the Cole memo required states to keep adolescents away from pot, ensure that drivers who were under the influence of cannabis were dealt with harshly, and guarantee that weed grown within a legal state stayed within that state.

Pulling back the Cole memo opens the door for the prosecution of marijuana businesses operating in states that have chosen to legalize in some capacity. While it's unclear if Sessions and the federal government will have the ability to prosecute marijuana businesses at some point, the rescinding of the Cole memo gives state prosecutors the authority toQualifiers Kicking Off in June!

harvesting herbs from roadsides where lead concentration is high; plants growing by busy roads will accumulate more lead. The nearer the plant is to the road, the higher the level of lead concentration.

If you can't find a particular herb anywhere except by a road, pick at least eight feet from the road edge; lead levels drop sharply in the first few feet. In cities, pick from parks and other out-of-the-way places. Be wary of vacant lots which may be contaminated with lead paint.

Avoid picking under powerlines and along roads where the weeds are controlled by spraying instead of cutting. Suburban lawns that have been doused with weed killers rarely grow medicinal weeds, but if you support chemical warfare (distorted, mutated, sparse weeds are good clues), avoid that area.

Cracks are forming in the iron grip of the Iranian regime. The latest wave of protests sweeping Iran demonstrates yet again that dictatorial regimes are inherently doomed because they lack the enduring consent of the people they rule.

Yet just as our forefathers required foreign assistance to finally shed the chains of tyranny, we too must stand with the Iranian people as they defy their oppressors. Utilizing our economic, political, and technological might, rather than armed intervention, the United States should rectify past inaction and amplify the voices of Iranians.

For nearly four decades, the mullahs in Tehran have used brutality and religious zeal to cling to power and steal from the Iranian people. When they seized power in 1979, they were part of a larger, ideologically diverse movement opposedwitnessed this in 2009, when thousands of Iranians took to the street to reject the rigged election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The subsequent crackdown by the regime killed dozens and imprisoned thousands more in an attempt to silence an emerging opposition.

In spite of the blatant savagery by Iran’s rulers, the Obama administration said little. Upon coming to office, President Obama and his national security staff had softened America’s tone towards the extremist government in Tehran as part of broader policy of appeasement that culminated in the Iran nuclear deal. The shameful response by the Obama administration in the face of such savagery was all too reminiscent of American inaction during the Hungarian uprising in 1956 against the Soviet Union. That sad chapter in American leadership crushed the hopes


of millions living behind the Iron Curtain. Succeeding Cold War presidents pointedly saw that America could not remain silent to Soviet oppression. Today we must echo the bold leadership of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, who are forever immortalized by their outspoken criticism of the evil empire. Their words emboldened fledgling democratic movements throughout Eastern Europe and ultimately contributed to the peaceful demise of the Soviet empire.

America still holds a unique duty as leader of the free world. For more than two centuries, the United States has been a symbol and protector of liberty around the globe. Our shining example of government of the people, by the people, and for the people has inspired generations to demand more from their rulers.

Citius, a five-time winner, is eligible for this nonwinners-of-three event because it allows for Ontario-sired runners with any number of victories.

Citius captured two Ontario-sired stakes early in his career. He has since evolved into a consistent and versatile middle claimer for trainer Ralph Biamonte, who


bred the 5-year-old gelding.

Citius found the mark in a six-furlong dash May 31 and went on to finish second and fourth in two other races at this level, which were both on the grass. He dropped a nose decision last time out in an open $32,000 claimer, after stalking a slow pace in the seven-furlong sprint on the Polytrack. Leading jockey Luis Contreras will ride him again.

After a poor allowance outing Aug.(CNN) -- When Iraq war veteran Angela Peacock is in the shower, she sometimes closes her eyes and can't help reliving the day in Baghdad in 2003 that pushed her closer to the edge.

Sgt. Angela Peacock is seen in 2004, after she returned to the United States from duty in Iraq.

While pulling security detail for an Army convoy stuck in gridlocked traffic, Peacock's vehicle came alongside a van full of Iraqi men who "began shouting that they were going to kill us," she said.

One man in the vehicle was particularly threatening. "I can remember his eyes looking at me," she said. "I put my finger on the trigger and aimed my weapon at the guy, and my driver is screaming at me to stop."

"I was really close to


shooting at them, but I didn't."

Now back home in Missouri, Peacock, 30, is unemployed -- living in a friend's home in North St. Louis County without a lease and paying minimal rent.

She points to the Baghdad confrontation as a major contributor to her struggles with drug abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. She says she's one step away from living on the street. See details on vets, including homeless »

Shortly after her discharge in 2004, Peacock said, she developed an addiction to pain pills. After her husband left her, she was evicted from her apartment, which she said made it impossible for her to obtain a lease or a mortgage.

She spent the next few years "couch surfing" from friend to friend, relative to relative. Watch how LosAngeles helps its 15,000 homeless vets »

"I could be kicked out of this house at any time," she said.

Experts say that Peacock's profile is similar to that of many female veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, the rate of female homeless vets is increasing in the United States, according to the federal government and groups that advocate for homeless people.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs defines PTSD as a type of anxiety that affects people who've experienced a particularly traumatic event that creates intense fear, helplessness or horror.

"You're sitting on your couch and you hear a car go down the street, and you think it's going to come through your house -- so you kind of catastrophize things automatically," Peacock said. "That's stuff

With the U.S. Army now at 15 percent female, and more women providing supporting roles in combat zones, female vets are becoming homeless at a faster rate than men, said Department of Veterans Affairs spokesman Pete Dougherty.

Conservative estimates count about 131,000 homeless veterans in the United States, most of them from the Vietnam War era. The VA has pinpointed 3,717 homeless veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, but the nationwide total could be asmany as twice that -- about 7,400, he said.

The VA estimates about 10 percent of all homeless veterans are women, making the estimated number of homeless Iraq-Afghanistan female veterans about 740. Dougherty said that number is rising.

Peacock blames her PTSD on many incidents during her time in the military, including "a bunch of small near misses, like sniper fire on a convoy, and waiting for somebody to throw an IED over, and the constant fear that I'm going to die."

She also says she was raped by a noncommissioned officer while deployed in South Korea in 2001.

She said that on the advice of a soldier who outranked her, she never officially reported the rape. "He said if you tell, they're going to put you on trial and make you


special needs grants over five years.

Peacock, who has no children herself, says she's been sober for three years. Determined to "heal her demons," she says she's working on a 12-step addiction program and receiving hourlong sessions each week with a VA therapist.

Peacock also said she takes part in a VA vocational rehabilitation program that has provided her with a dog she named GI Joe. "Well -- his name was already Joe -- I added the 'GI,' " she laughed.

Eventually, she plans to return to college, become a "transpersonal psychologist" and help others with PTSD.

"It's like spiritual psychology," Peacock explained. "You explore your place in the world and your place in life."

Her plan is "to save myself first, and then I can help somebody else."

"I'm getting there," Peacock said.Tampa Police arrested a hospital pharmacist on charges of sexual battery after a woman claimed she was drugged and raped in his Tampa apartment on 12th Street North.

According to arrest documents, 27-year-old Robert Woods met the victim on the dating Tinder dating app. The two initially had a drink at the bar on the first floor of his apartment building before going up to his room where he told the victim he was having a party. Arrest documents say there was nobody else in the apartment, he gave the victim a shot, she stepped on his 18th floor balcony to have a cigarette and blacked out.

The arrest document goes on to say the victim woke up naked in Woods' bed and that he "admitted to the victim that


he had sex with the victim, to which the victim advised she did not recall anything." He then told the victim, "that's okay." The arrest document states that Woods then "had sex once again with the victim," and goes on to say that the victim was advised that she was still inebriated from whatever substance was in her system at that time.

After leaving his apartment, the victim went to the hospital. She sent Woods a message asking what he had given her, according to the arrest affidavit. Woods responded by saying "Are you alive?" When the victim said "Barely alive," he stopped his communication.

A search warrant served at his apartment recovered several types of pills and prescription drugs and numerous hypodermic syringes. Most of the pills were storedin unmarked prescription bottles and clear plastic baggies. The victim also discovered what appeared to be two injection sites on her neck.

Woods has been a pharmacist at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa since July. A spokesperson for the hospital says they're taking the accusations very serious and are cooperating with investigators. She could not comment about any discipline that may or may not be levied against Woods. It's not clear if he had obtained any drugs from the hospital either.

Woods also completed a year long residency program at Tampa General Hospital in June. A TGH spokesperson said there were no complaints against him during his residency and there is no reason to believe he did anything wrong while working there.

According to his biography on the Tampa General Hospital


website, Woods "developed and implemented a prospective pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy associated with a novel combination of ketamine and dexmedetomidine for adult procedural sedation in the emergency department," while he was an emergency intern in Youngstown, Ohio.

grounds:
 1. The evidence fails to establish any negligence on the part of appellants;
 2. There is a fatal variance between the claim filed with the appellants, the allegations of the complaint and the evidence adduced at the trial;
 3. The court erred in refusing to give certain instructions requested by appellants.
 4. The court erred in denying appellants' motion for nonsuit.
 On the evening of September 26, 1939, the respondent, a woman sixty-six years of age, entered the foyer of the auditorium of the Lincoln Junior High School at Santa Monica on her way to attend the lecture above referred to, it being her first visit to the school auditorium. In order to gain access to the auditorium by the use of the main entrance to the


building, it was necessary to pass through the double doors of said *395 main entrance, proceed across the concrete floor of the foyer and then into the auditorium through an inner doorway. Respondent, accompanied by two other women, stepped through the main entrance into the foyer with her left foot, and as she brought her right foot forward, she slipped and fell to the floor, sustaining a broken hip, technically described as a "transverse fracture of the cervical neck of the right femur ... comminuted fracture, impacted, jammed and fixed." Respondent testified that while lying on the floor after she fell she noticed for the first time that the floor was very "slippery"; had a very "shiny" appearance.
 Mrs. Moffit, president of the Santa Monica Council of Parent-Teachers,Mr. Graybill regarding such condition, and that it appeared to her that the floor had been waxed between the night of the first lecture and the night of the accident in question.
 Mrs. Bangs, who entered the foyer just ahead of respondent, testified that she slipped when she got inside the entrance; that she did not fall, but was very badly overbalanced; that she looked at the floor and found "a film or a slippery surface--very slippery"; that she assumed the floor had been waxed, as it was very shiny and slippery.
 Mrs. Burness, co-chairman with Mrs. Drake of the lecture series, testified that she was in and out of the foyer during the evening; that she did not walk across the foyer, having entered through the east


door instead of the main entrance; that she was stationed just inside the door of the auditorium distributing pamphlets; that she observed the floor in the foyer and it looked "slippery" and she saw skid marks on it, a heel mark about a foot or more long; that the floor looked as *396 though it had been polished because of its high gloss; that she had waxed floors in her home and could tell when she looked at the floor in the foyer that it had been waxed.
 Mrs. McIlvaine testified she observed the floor in the foyer on the evening in question and that it was "slick and shiny"; that the floor was dusty and dirty the week before; that it did not appear to be waxedat that time because it was not slippery to her feet.
 The school employees testified that a wax preparation was last applied to the floor of the foyer on September 6, 1939; the floor was first scrubbed with hot water and liquid soap, rinsed with fresh water and allowed to dry; that one part wax was mixed with two parts of water; that a mop was dipped in the mixture, squeezed dry and applied to the floor. It was stipulated that the preparation used was known as Turco X'ol, and that the floor of the foyer was a painted concrete floor.
 Jacob C. Eymann, who was called as an expert, in answer to a question put to him by counsel for appellants, to wit: "I just want you


time. This witness also testified that from the 11th of September to the date of the accident, he estimated that at least 15,000 children passed up and down the foyer on their way to the auditorium. However, this witness also testified that the school children passing through the foyer did not use the main entrance (just inside of which the accident here occurred), but used the east door, and that *398 the main entrance was kept locked during these week. In answer to the question "When children come in the side entrance and walk into the auditorium through the doors (referring to the side entrance) they have no occasion to walk over here in front of this door (the main entrance) do they?" this witness replied: "Not directlysafe. This is a question of fact. The trial judge could well have believed from the evidence that the surface of the floor was sufficiently hard and smooth to become unsafe with the application of wax or soft soap and water as they were used by appellants. In fact, if full credence was given to the testimony of plaintiff and her witnesses, and if it was believed that they had slipped and in some instances had fallen while walking across the floor in a careful manner, the trial judge could scarcely have believed that the floor was maintained in a wholly safe condition. And if the condition was as described by these witnesses, it was for the trial judge to determine, as a fact, whether the condition was


personal injuries sustained by respondent through the claimed negligence of appellants "in negligently and carelessly failing to properly inspect, and negligently and carelessly owning, maintaining and permitting to exist a dangerous and defective condition in said auditorium, in that the floor at the main entrance thereof was so highly waxed and polished as to cause the claimant, immediately upon entering said auditorium to slip and fall," etc.
 The complaint alleged that appellants "owned, operated and maintained the auditorium of the said Lincoln Junior High School in such a careless and negligent manner that they carelessly and negligently caused or carelessly and negligently permitted the concrete floor in the main entrance of said auditorium to be so highly waxed and polished that it was, at said time and place,to the sacraments, to protect life, and even to shield and maintain the immutable definitions of man, woman, child, marriage and family.

n On what was already a record-setting day for McCaffrey, the junior reached or tied several other milestones. Not only did McCaffrey move past Toby Gerhart into third place on the Cardinal’s career rushing list, he also became the second player in school history to reach 6,500 career all-purpose yards.

McCaffrey surpassed Gerhart’s total on his eighth carry, a 31-yard run in the second quarter. He now leads the Pac-12 with 1,399 yards rushing.

McCaffrey has a ways to go to catch the two rushers ahead of him on Stanford’s career list. Stepfan Taylor and Darrin Nelson each rushed for more than 4,000yards for the Cardinal.

McCaffrey also had four receptions for 22 yards in Saturday’s game to finish with a season-high 306 all-purpose yards. He surpassed 2,000 all-purpose yards for the second straight season and is closer to breaking Nelson’s career record of 7,120.

As if all of that weren’t enough, McCaffrey tied the mark for third-longest touchdown in school history, a 90-yarder, in the third quarter. He finished with three TDs for the scored straight game and the third time in his past four, counting his receiving TD against Arizona.

Amaseia sits on the Yeşil River

Amaseia (now Amasya) lies in Turkey's Amasya province, on the Yeşil River. The folktales that we have from this region come primarily from Ano Amaseia, which lay above the main town. The ancient Amaseia goes back to Hellenistic times and was where Strabo was born. It sits at a high altitude and possesses a dry climate with hot summers and cold winters. It is considered the best apple-growing province in Turkey.

At the Committee for Pontic Studies, Athens

The Committee for Pontic Studies at its founding in 1924 consisted largely of clerics and teachers active in petitioning for an independent Pontic republic, men who had been educated at the major Greek schools of Asia Minor--Halki, the Megali tou Genous Skholi, and


the Frontisterion of Trebizond--and who had taken as their goal the preservation and publication of their historical, linguistic, and folkloric heritage. It soon began a publishing program. The early years of the Arheion Pontou (Archive of Pontos) were devoted to preserving as much material as possible about the Pontos and its people. It contains collections of folktales, folksongs, dialectal vocabulary lists, collections of riddles, proverbs, superstitions, folk medicine beliefs, and descriptions of towns and villages and their peoples. By the late 1950s the emphasis has shifted to art history and other material history, with some folklore included. By the 1980s the trend became increasingly towards the history of what used to be regarded as “footnotes”, a crisis in the Metropoly of Trebizond in the 1870s, for example, ora biography of the founders of the monastery Panayia Soumela, or examinations of folklore texts rather than the texts themselves.

Chrysobull of Alexios III of Trebizond

The Empire of Trebizond was was one of three Greek successor states of the Byzantine Empire. It was founded April 1204, not long before the capture of Constantinople by westeners during the Fourth Crusade, and was conquered by the Ottomans in 1461. It covered much of the southern coast of the Black Sea and the Pontic Greeks consider themselves the heirs to that empire. It was ruled by the Comnenes, a branch of the Byzantine royal family. This Chrysobull was fromm Alexios III Megas Komnenos, who lived from 1338 to 1390.

A Golden Bull or chrysobull was a golden ornament representing a seal attached to


the 7th century BC, and used it as a base from which to colonize other areas along the coast. Sinope gained importance as a port city for a caravan route leading from the upper Euphrates valley. It issued its own coinage and gave its name to a red arsenic sulfate called "Sinopic red earth." It is also famous as the birthplace of the 4th-century BC Cynic philosopher Diogenes. Because of Diogenes's stunts, such as carrying a lamp in the daytime while claiming to be looking for an honest man, it is tempting--but probably not accurate--to think of him as the original for the folktale father who is looking for a just godfather for his son (the personification of Death is the only one who satisfies his criteria).

Frontesterion ofTrebizond

The Frontisterion of Trapezounta was was a Greek educational institution that operated from 1682 to 1921. It provided a major impetus for the rapid expansion of Greek education throughout the Pontos. The school was moved to a three-story building with 36 classrooms in Trebizond in 1902. Although classes stopped being given to Greek students in it in 1921, during the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922 and just before the Exchange of Populations between Greece and Turkey, the building stands.

Founded by Sevastos Kyminitis, it was originally housed at Panagia Soumela Monastery, and it grew into the most influential center of Greek education in the region, and had the goal of cultivating national and religious identity of the local ethnic Greeks. The school was supported by generous donations granted by wealthy


Greek families, including the Velissarides and Kallivazis families, who controlled trade in most of the Black Sea ports.

One of the teachers of the Frontesterion, Periklis Triantafyllidis, whose father Savvas had also taught there, taught classical philosophy and also recorded the local Greek dialect. It is to him that we can credit the earliest transcriptions of Pontic folktales.

Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts were an important crop for Pontian farmers and commodity for merchants. For folktale narrators, too, they played an important role. In the past, it was common for folktales to be told at community work session. Whereas in Hungary they may have been told while working fields of sugar beets, in Germany while harvesting potatoes or working in a sand pit, or among the Lepchas while weeding crops, a prime time forthe Pontians to tell tales was during the communal shucking of the corn harvest and the husking of the hazelnut crop. At the winter's evening gatherings where tales were also told, before the folktale would begin, the housewife or the daughter of the house took care to bring close to the hearth or to the brazier all the makings for coffee, so as not to be forced in the middle to get up and interrupt the continuity of the narrative. She would also bring whatever else she intended to offer to those gathered: hazelnuts usually, apples and appetizers generally, because some folktales lasted a long time. Hazelnuts are mentioned specifically in the tales of "Chortanikas," "The Son of the Widow," and at least one variant of "Cinderella."

village near Trebizond

Pontic Greek residents of the upland villages, which were usually isolated by the rugged terrain, tended to base their economies on agriculture and mining, and were less stratified socially than their seaside cities were. Until around 1915, each kind of locale usually had two or more ethnicities living side by side: Greeks, Turks, Armenians, Jews, Laz, and so forth.

Panagia Soumela Monastery

The monastery of Panagia Soumela, so holy to the Greeks and others in the region that visiting it seven times earned a pilgrim the honorific "Hadji" before his name, is today a ruin and a destination for tourists. It perches at an altitude of about 1.2 kilometers on the ledge partway up the face of a steep cliff in the Altındere valley, in the Macka regionsouth of Trebizond. Despite--or perhaps because of--the reverence in which it was held, it doesn't appear as a destination or locus in the folktales, although legends did arise around it.

The legend about its founding in AD 386 has it that two priests undertook its creation after discovering a miraculous icon--said to have been written by the evangelist Luke--of the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, in a nearby mountain cave. The site was abandoned in 1923 during the Greek-Turkish exchange of populations. Since the monks on their departure were forbidden from taking any property with them, they buried their famous icon under the floor of the monastery's St. Barbara chapel, retrieving it secretly in 1930 and removing it to the newly founded Pontic pilgrimage site, Panagia Soumela Monastery


on Mount Vermion in Macedonia, Greece.

As of 2012, the Turkish government is funding restoration work, and the monastery is enjoying a revival in pilgrimage from Greece and Russia. The first Orthodox liturgy since the Exchange was celebrated there on August 15, 2010.

Pontian man's costume from Pontian.info

I've borrowed this image from Pontian. info, as it is one of the best I've found for identifying the various elements of dress, some of which are mentioned by name in the folktales. Headgear and firearms are mentioned most often by name.

A group of men wearing the traditional costume associated with Pontic Greek guerrilla fighters.

Pontic Greek woman

A Pontic Greek woman in traditional costume. Pontic society was organized along strictly patriarchal lines. A household usually comprised grandfather and grandmother, their sons and their wives,unmarried daughters, and their sons’ children. The patriarch of the clan was always the oldest male of the house. Pontic society was virilocal (women went to live in their husbands' homes), and the bride was not always chosen from within the village, so she could find herself upon marriage far from her birthplace and among strangers. She would also lose her given name and come to be called by a feminized version of her husband’s name: Maria, once she became the wife of--say--Stoforos, would be renamed Stoforina.

Since one household could comprise many nuclear families, the Pontians developed the tradition of mash’ to help cope with pressures within. Mash’ meant that a bride was not allowed to speak aloud to her father- or mother-in-law, nor to her husband’s older


brothers and sisters, nor even to other daughters-in-law who had been there longer than she, though she could communicate through gesture. Often this silence was dropped after the bride had born her first son, but it was not unheard of for a daughter-in-law to live and die in a household without ever having spoken to most of the other members in it. A common attribute of a good folktale bride is that she was so good that “she had a mouth but she didn’t have a voice.”

Postcard showing Kotyora (Ordu) before the Population Exchange

By the 19th century, Kotyora was commonly known by its Turkish name, Ordu. It was used under Mohammed II as a mustering point for troops before the final assault on Trebizond (the name Ordu means“army camp” and came into English as "horde"). It was a natural gathering place. Sailors and merchants appreciated its natural, spacious harbor (visible here), while travelers and caravan-drivers appreciated that it lay on the easternmost route over relatively low mountain passes to the interior. The gently rising country of the hinterland (seen in the background) to the east of the town provided ample rich arable and pastoral land and supported a traditionally transhumant pastoral life. Later, as economic conditions improved, some Kotyorites began to live year-round in the city.

Roman-era mosaic from Amisos

The Black Sea coast has long been a place of human habitation. Amisos, also known in Greek as Samsounta and in Turkish as Samsun, has an archaeological record reaching back to the paleolithic times, when the Tekkekoy


Caves were occupied. It became a Greek colony in the 8th century BC, when Greeks from Miletus settled there. Its combination of fertile ground and shallow waters attracted numerous settlers and traders. Far later, it formed part of the kingdom of Pontos, then the empires of Alexaner the Great, the Romans, the Byzantines, and the Seljuks. It was a Genoese outpost for a while, before finally being taken over by the Ottomans in the start of the 15th century.

Village in the Pontic Alps

The Pontians are a Hellenic, Orthodox Christian people from the eastern half of the Black Sea coastal region of Asia Minor, known as the Pontos, where they lived until the Greek-Turkish Exchange of Populations of 1923-24. The region is bounded by the river Halys (Kizil-irmak) onthe west, Russia on the east, high mountains, sometimes called the Pontic Alps, to the south, and the Black Sea to the north. As members of the Greek-rite Orthodox Church, they were officially registered within the Ottoman Empire as members of the Millet-i Rum. They were differentiated by their religion from the Turks and the other peoples of the Ottoman Empire; they were also set apart by geography from the rest of the Ottoman Greeks. Today the Pontians living in Greece and elsewhere around the world define themselves by their ancestors' place of birth and see themselves and their history as originating within the physical bounds of the Pontos.

sons and twin colts. In Oinoe, the king ends up with twin sons (even though the dervish instructs the king to give peel from the fertility apple to his horse).

The boys end up on the road by different means. In Kerasunda, the king tries not to hand over the promised son when the devil returns for him; the children both cursed and falls ill and the king reluctantly hands one over. In Oinoe, the honorable king without demur hands over the younger of the two boys to the dervish. In Stavrin, the king is not faced with such a choice: the two oldest boys decide to seek their fortunes away from home, leaving the kingdom to their youngest brother.

The cypresses were joined with the life of the children and whatever the children suffered the cypresses also suffered.”); in Oinoe, a sword that will drip blood hung on a wall; in Kerasounta, a club that will also drip blood hung up inside a hall.

In Kerasounta, the horse has the gift of speech and advises the boy; in Oinoe, a mysterious old woman advises him; in Stavrin the brothers don’t need an advisor but separate (and here the story is more like the one in Santa) when they come to a fork in the road.

into a house, and a beautiful girl, kidnapped by the devil, tells the boy how to defeat the devil in the form of a snake. Once the devil is dead, the girl makes up a bed for the two of them, the boy finds two keys in her hair, finds two dogs in one room, and two fountains in the other, and makes one dog gold and the other silver. He gets up in the morning, takes the horse and one of the dog, chases a wild goat into the forest. He loses several games of cards to an Arab, and so loses his dog, his horse, and his life. At which point his club back at home starts to drip blood.

In Oinoe, the old woman tells theboy that the dervish is a cannibal and is taking him to a house full of human remains. She tells him how to defeat the dervish with his own sword. He finds lots of good things to eat and drink in the house, but can’t escape from there. After some time, he finds a horse that can help him escape from the house; the horse can talk. After that, he doesn’t want to return home. On the road, he comes to a spring that turns him and the horse golden. He comes across two armies clashing and decides to help the one in danger of being defeated. (Beginning to sound much like Sir Goldenhair.) He helps them win the day. King weds him to his daughter. The princess


warns him against hunting on a particular mountain, so he goes there the next day. He finds a house and an Arab appears to wrestle him for the right to eat a plate of pilaf. He first loses his horse, then his sword, then is himself enslaved. At which point his sword back at home begins to drip blood.

In Stavrin, the brother comes to a town and is chosen king and given the dead king’s daughter in marriage. His wife warns him against going near a palace that he can see from his window, so he goes there the next day. A Nereid masquerading as a monk appears and turns him, his horse, and his dog into a marble statue. Back home, his cypress withers up.

In Oinoe, thefather objects to his remaining son’s going to rescue his brother. In Kerasounta, the father is not consulted nor is his reaction recorded, the youth simply leaves on the mission. In Stavrin, the king orders his youngest son to run to the aid of his distressed brother.

In Kerasunta, he rides along the ugly paths thinking sympathetically of his brother. He finds his brother’s house and is mistaken for his brother by everyone. In the evening the wife prepares a bed for the two of them, and he sets his sword between them. Then he takes his dog and horse and goes to find his brother. He finds the wild goat and chases it. He defeats the Arab three times, rescuing his brother and his two animals. Then the


Arab turns into a girl, and the rescuing brother takes her for his wife. The first brother returns to his own wife.

In Stavrin, the youngest brother takes his horse and go and goes in search. At the crossroads he recognizes his brother’s horse’s hoofprints, and ends up at the palace and, pretending to be his brother, makes excuses for having been away so long. He threatens the queen with a sword if she comes near him during the seven nights they sleep in the same bed. She also warns him against the castle, so he goes off without telling anyone. He sees his brother, horse, and dog as statues. He defeats the Nereid by shooting at her with his revolver and she shows him how to return everyonethe dervish lying dead in his doorway. He also makes himself and his horse golden at the spring. He is welcomed at the city as the prince. The princess says to him, “You went to that mountain, hmm?” He doesn’t reveal himself. He lies down with the princess with a sward between them. She is unhappy but says nothing. Then he goes to the mountain. The enslaved brother sees him coming from afar off. His hands and knees? Shake. He clues him in to the situation. Every bite he takes of the pilaf makes him stronger, so that he beats the Arab in wrestling, winning back his brother, etc. Just as he is about to destroy the Arab entirely, the Arab strikes himself in the face and turns

Adidas said that profit this year "will miss its forecast" by at least €180M ($241M). The shoemaker and apparel maker "scrapped a long-standing growth target for next year, citing a slump in demand for golf supplies in North America combined with turmoil in Russia." The shares "tumbled as much as 16 percent in Frankfurt trading, the biggest intraday drop since the company’s 1995 initial public offering." Berenberg Bank analyst John Guy, who recommends buying the shares, said, "You could argue they’ve been a victim of their


own success. Russia is one of their most profitable regions." Now a dispute with Ukraine and economic sanctions against Russia "are weighing on the outlook" (BLOOMBERG, 7/31). REUTERS' Emma Thomasson wrote the stock, "already hurt by the firm's market share losses to bigger U.S. rival Nike and its exposure to weak emerging market currencies," is now down almost 36% this year. Ingo Speich, a fund manager at Union Investment, which is the 10th-biggest investor in adidas with a 1.2% stake, said, "The profit warning could almost have been predicted but the extent of it is catastrophic." Adidas said that "it would fight back by increasing marketing in the next 18 months, particularly in North America and western Europe." Adidas CEO Herbert Hanier said, "We will assert ourselves muchmore aggressively in the marketplace" (REUTERS, 7/31). The BBC reported the company "will also overhaul California-based golf brand TaylorMade, which makes golf bags, clubs and clothing" for the U.S. market after an 18% drop in sales (BBC, 7/31). In London, Alice Ross wrote adidas said that "it had decided to reduce its
planned expansion of stores in Russia, where the group has a large
retail presence, and close more branches there." Russia has historically
been one of the countries where adidas "has achieved a clear lead in its
battle for market share with arch rival Nike." Adidas said, "The recent trend change in the Russian rouble as well as increasing risks to consumer sentiment and consumer spending from current tensions in the region
point to higher risks to the short-term profitability contribution" (FINANCIAL

The schizophrenia of the Obama Administration was on display this morning on the Sunday talk shows. First there was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, talking to ABC’s Martha Raddatz. General Dempsey conceded that the Islamic State’s advance in Iraq has been more effective and wider spread than previously reported. In addition, he admitted that the coalition air war against ISIS is failing to achieve its objectives.

The key takeaway for me is the dire situation in Anbar province, where the Islamic State is steadily advancing and closing in on Baghdad. Did you catch Dempsey off-handed acknowledgement that US Apache helicopters were employed in order to prevent the IS from overtaking Baghdad International Airport.

But that is not how thethroat and wiped up his diarrhea. They analyzed his urine and wiped saliva from his lips, even after he had lost consciousness.

About 70 staff members at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital were involved in the care of Thomas Eric Duncan after he was hospitalized, including a nurse now being treated for the same Ebola virus that killed the Liberian man who was visiting Dallas, according to medical records his family provided to The Associated Press.

The size of the medical team reflects the hospital’s intense effort to save Duncan’s life, but it also suggests that many other people could have been exposed to the virus during Duncan’s time in an isolation unit.

On Monday, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the infection of the nurse means


from Ebola countries halted.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they are concerned about an Ebola outbreak in the United States, and about the same amount say they want flight restrictions from the countries in West Africa where the disease has quickly spread.

A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News shows 67 percent of people say they would support restricting entry to the United States from countries struggling with Ebola. Another 91 percent would like to see stricter screening procedures at U.S. airports in response to the disease’s spread.

This is simple common sense, something in drastically short supply in Washington.

Thus far, some countries in Europe have restricted flights from these countries in West Africa, and an increasing number of U.S. lawmakers are calling for similar bans. The WhiteHouse has yet to increase restrictions, with federal officials saying such a move could actually increase the spread of the disease by hampering the movement of aid workers and supplies.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has gone dark in Kentucky, where the party is targeting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

After a significant investment in support of Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the DSCC had not reserved time for the final three weeks of the race and, as of today, is no longer on the air.

Continue replenishing the enemy, even as the terrorist threat against the U.S. intensifies, by extraditing any Gitmo detainees not transferred to the U.S. to countries that will allow them to rejoin the jihad — just as he allowed five Taliban commanders to leave Gitmo a few months ago.

In that case, I believe they will skin him alive.

Because he is a sociopath, it is doubtful that he realizes the danger that awaits him in the last two years of his term. He has painted himself–and us into a corner and there is no way out. Therein lies the tragedy. A mentally healthy leader would recognize this danger

I can well understand your position. It mirrors the evolution of a close friend of mine, who was a strong Hillary supporter and opened her home to me during the 2008 campaign. She is just about the smartest person I know. She is thebriefing on the latest case of a female employee of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who cared for Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan.

Jenkins said the second infected woman, who was not identified by name or job title, was isolated within 90 minutes of reporting a fever Tuesday. She is the third person diagnosed in the U.S. with Ebola, which is currently epidemic in three West African countries.

The CDC hours later revealed that the newly infected woman had flown on Monday on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth. The CDC asked all passengers aboard that flight to call 1-800-232-4636. Frontier Airlines said passengers who also traveled with the woman on Flight 1142 on Friday from Dallas/Fort Worth to Cleveland should contact CDC as well.

"Alzheimer's research is very complicated," said Rachelle S. Doody, chair in Alzheimer's disease research at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and member of the ADCS. "But our committee is encouraged by the results of the solanezumab studies. They support amyloid as a target for future Alzheimer's research."

Until now, researchers have only been able to theorize about the mechanisms of the disease. Research is also being conducted on other possible causes, including inflammation and tau, tangles of proteins thought to disrupt communication among neurons' pathways.

"We are encouraged by the results,'' said Maria Carrillo, vice president of medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association, an advocacy group.

Washington (CNN) FBI Director James Comey declined to answer Tuesday whether the bureau was investigating links between President-elect Donald Trump's campaign and Russia.

Comey's refusal to comment during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing drew a perplexed response from Sen. Angus King, who noted the "irony" of Comey's lack of comment given that he shook the 2016 campaign by telling Congress the FBI was reviewing emails thought to be related to Hillary Clinton's private server.

"You didn't say one way or another whether even there was an investigation underway?" King, a Maine independent who caucuses with Democrats, asked Comey.

Comey responded, "Correct. I don't, especially in a

The district court sentenced Herrera to 482 months in prison to be followed by an eight-year period of supervised release.   He now appeals his sentence.   We affirm.

Jose Herrera and his sister, Matilde Herrera, supervised a cocaine distribution ring in Chicago, Illinois.   From June 1988 to May 1989, Felipe Borges, a kilogram level distributor of cocaine living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, regularly contacted Matilde to arrange cocaine purchases.   During this period, Jose Herrera was responsible for delivering the cocaine to Borges.   Borges typically took delivery either at his apartment in


Milwaukee, or at the Herreras' apartment in Chicago.   Each cocaine delivery ranged in quantity from one to twenty-seven kilograms.   Herrera made the deliveries alone until February 1989, when he was accompanied by Filberto Espino Marin, another member of the Herrera ring.

3
On May 23, 1989, Borges was arrested in Milwaukee with two kilograms of cocaine.   He informed police about his involvement in the Herrera distribution ring, and, after consulting with his attorney, agreed to set up another cocaine transaction.   Borges then placed a series of phone calls with the Herreras to discuss terms for another cocaine delivery.   Law enforcement agents recorded each of these conversations.   Shortly thereafter on May 27, 1989, Herrera and Marin were arrested whileen route from Chicago to Milwaukee.   Marin was carrying five kilograms of cocaine.

Herrera and Marin were tried jointly.   At trial, Borges testified against both defendants.   Following the completion of Borges' testimony, Herrera and Marin both withdrew their pleas of not guilty and entered pleas of guilty.

Prior to Herrera's sentencing hearing, the district court advised Herrera to submit all written objections to the probation department's presentence report by January 12, 1990.   Although Herrera did provide the probation department with several generalized objections to the presentence report, he did not include any substantive evidence to support his objections.   Rather, at the outset of the sentencing hearing on January 19, 1990, Herrera indicated his preference to present corroborating evidence during the


more than fifty kilograms of cocaine.   Herrera also argues that the district court committed error by improperly basing his sentence on evidence which was previously presented in Marin's earlier sentencing hearing.   We find both arguments meritless.

Borges' testimony was more than sufficient to establish that Herrera delivered in excess of fifty kilograms of cocaine between June 1988 and May 1989.   He testified that from June 1988 to February 1989, he received up to ten kilograms of cocaine from Herrera every two weeks, although the normal quantity delivered was only one kilogram.   After February 1989, however, Borges stated that the cocaine deliveries ranged between five and fifteen kilograms of cocaine per trip, including one delivery containing over twenty-seven kilograms.

Immunocytochemical co-detection of NCX and PMCA reveal that NCX is positioned along surfaces of the osteoblast adjacent to osteoid, while PMCA is localized to plasma membrane sites distal to the osteoid. The expression pattern and spatial distribution of NCX support a role as a regulator of calcium efflux from osteoblasts required for calcification. The expression pattern and spatial distribution of PMCA makes its role in the mineralization process unlikely and suggests a role in calcium homeostasis following signaling events.Coodham

Around 150 people stopped the traffic in Hanwell yesterday (Tuesday 9th November) protesting over a dangerous crossing.

The 'Action Half Hour' at the junction of Uxbridge Road and Church Road saw members of the local community walk in a circle around the crossing several times.

They're opposing plans by Ealing Council to introduce raised tables as a means of traffic calming instead of including a Green Man pedestrian phase at the traffic lights.

The initiative was organised by Hanwell Community Forum and the group West London Citizens (WLC).

Marzena Cichon, spokesperson for West London Citizens, said: “The Council has been asked to take action on this dangerous crossing for years. Parents are afraid that a child will have to die before appropriate action is taken.”
