to a 2–0 win. Six days later, Sky Blue FC hosted FC Gold Pride. Rampone, the team's regular captain, missed the match due to an injury. In the 76th minute, O'Reilly scored on a strike with her right foot for the club's first-ever goal, which was enough for a 1–1 draw. Following that match, which was their last at TD Bank Ballpark, Sky Blue FC embarked on a five-match stretch on the road. Against the Chicago Red Stars on April 19, goalkeepers Karen Bardsley and Jenni Branam combined for six saves in a scoreless draw. Collette McCallum had a scoring opportunity for Sky Blue FC in the first half, but her effort went off the crossbar.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who took office last year, has taken a tough stance on drug crime.

In January he authorised the executions of six people, including five foreigners, convicted of drug offences.

The group of 10 awaiting execution also includes Brazilian and Nigerian nationals.

"Everyone has heard of someone having a brownie and having a bad experience, getting ahead of that ... was very important," he said.

Potential revenues from the new cannabis products are key given that cannabis companies are coming under more pressure to be profitable.

Constellation said in June that it was "not pleased" with the pot producer's financial fourth-quarter earnings in which it reported a wider-than-expected loss. Canopy later ousted its co-chief executive Bruce Linton in July, and its interim chief executive has said it is shifting from "building" mode to "operating mode."

Earlier this month, cannabis company Hexo Corp. pulled back its fourth-quarter revenue expectations and cut 200 positions, citing industry pressures such as a slow pot retail rollout. Hexo also launched aseems like some panic has set in that since he isn't putting up better and better numbers every week that he is somehow failing and not what we all hoped he'd be. Its still his rookie season.

Give the guy a little credit for having a great game against a top defense. He never had more than 2 TD passes in a game for Miami.

I actually told my brother in law I bet he throws like 5 TDs and has the game of his life. Close enough, but he still couldn't win it in the clutch. I don't think Jacksonville is banking on him

Depending on what we choose to do in free agency, we could go after Greg Jennings and draft a burner in the first two rounds. That would give us a #1 target, possibly two #1 targets depending on who we draft, to go along with Bess and Hartline.

That would help us stretch the field and spread teams out. It would definitely give Tannehill some more options.

In addition, we could go after a big tightend. I like Eifert from Notre Damethe ball in the park -- Clemens' translated walk and home-run rates as as Astro were his lowest since his Blue Jay years -- than on whiffing batters, as his translated strikeout rates while in Houston were career lows.

Adding Roger Clemens makes the Yankees a better team, and improves their chance to catch the Red Sox in the AL East, or secure the wild card if they can't do so. They're not as bad as they've looked in the season's first five weeks, and the Red Sox are probably not quite as good as they've looked. (More on this later in the week.) However, the impact of Clemens is smaller than is perceived, because of three factors:

• The limited number of innings he will pitch. • Clemens, while

    National Transportation Safety Board, are expected to begin examining
    the conditions that led to the crash. A barge hauling a crane is
    scheduled to arrive around noon to recover the shattered remains of the
    plane, which rests in about 5 feet of water 11 miles west and one mile
    north of the Salt Lake Marina.

    Sunday.
        Parks said he attempted to make radio contact with the plane
    immediately after he heard its engines. Investigators said Cashman
    never signaled for help, and Parks' efforts to reach the pilot were
    fruitless, he said.
        About five minutes later, the husband of one of the plane's
    passengers arrived at the airport to pick up his wife. Parks said at
    around 3:15 p.m. the man's wife had called her husband to say she was
    boarding.


      The 35-year-old plane didn't have a registered flight plan with the
    FAA. That meant airport officials didn't know it was in the air when
    Parks began calling around to see if the plane had landed at an

Wednesday update:

Firefighters have built a line completely around the fire that destroyed a home and burned 115 acres Tuesday along Upriver Drive near Camp Sekani, said Megan Hill, of Spokane County Fire District 4, on Wednesday morning. All mandatory evacuations have been lifted. Fire officials are gathered at the Spokane County Fairgrounds. Beacon Hill, Shields Park and Camp Sekani are closed for recreational use on Wednesday.

Original story:

Hundreds of Spokane County residents north of the Upriver Dam were forced to evacuate late Tuesday afternoon by a fast-moving wildfire that quickly consumed 120 acres.

At least one home was destroyed by the fire, which was first reported about 4:30 p.m. on property adjacent to Camp Sekani Park in the 6400 block of East Upriver Drive.

Crews doused the fire that destroyed an older wood-sided home. It also destroyed a riding lawnmower, but spared a nearby Kubota tractor and flatbed trailer. Property records indicate the home was built in the 1950s and is owned by Frederick M. Schunter.

The path of the fire appeared to start at or near the home and, pushed by the wind, raced north over the tall ridge toward Valley Springs Road.

NY’s Most-promising Cyber Defenders Get Expert Training

Posted:August 4, 2010

New York’s brightest cyber defenders honed their already razor-sharp security skills last week at New York State Cyber Camp held on Polytechnic Institute of NYU’s downtown Brooklyn campus. The five-day training camp culminated in a Capture the Flag competition on Friday, July 30, where Christopher Ashby (SUNY Excelsior), Griffith Chaffee (Rochester Institute of Technology), Alex Levinson (Rochester Institute of Technology), and Michael Matonis (SUNY Cobleskill) took home first place.

The New York State Office of Cyber Security (OCS) designed Cyber Camp as part of the U.S. Cyber Challenge program to help cultivate and develop an expanded cadre of cyber security professionals who will protect, detect, respond, and recover from cyber attacks. Cyber attacks are increasingly easier to launch, can be deployed


Sgt. Jeff Sabo, with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, said that's the frightening reality of low-head dams. One such structure, Easton's Chain Dam, claimed the life of one of two kayakers caught in its hydraulics Wednesday afternoon on the Lehigh River.

Jeffrey Deemer, 26, of Forks Township, went over the dam in a kayak and drowned, his death ruled an accident, authorities said. He had been kayaking with Caleb Gallagher, 23, of Easton, in the city's Hugh Moore Park, authorities said.

Gallagher portaged around the dam and tried to reach Deemer by rope before going into the river in his own kayak at the downriver base of the dam. Gallagher's kayak overturned and he was trapped in the hydraulics of the dam until both he and Deemer were freedby the current.

Gallagher was transported to a St. Luke's University Health Network facility and was recovering, authorities said Thursday.

'Respect the safety zones'

Sabo said the Fish and Boat Commission will investigate the incident, as is done with every boating fatality in the state. Sabo said buoys mark the area before the exclusion zone, the area upstream and downstream of the dam, where it becomes increasingly difficult to get away from the pull of the dam's boil.

The hydraulic boil is the dangerous circular churning of water pouring over the edge of the low-head dam. Sabo said the power of that water is immense — he's seen it trap large trees floating downriver after a storm.

"You have to respect the safety zones," Sabo said. "That's done for a reason."

Sabo said that


at the Chain Dam, boaters should paddle to the right shore before the exclusion zone to reach an easy access to shore near the park's Locktender's House. After walking around the dam, they can re-enter the water 100 feet downriver.

Passing those warning buoys is against state law, Sabo said. Citations can be handed out if authorities see a boater inside the exclusion zone.

"We're trying to stress the safety and stress the importance of honoring the buoys and getting out of there," Sabo said. "It's extremely difficult and next to impossible to escape that boil."

Boil's power deceptive

Underestimating the force of the water at a dam is a lethal gamble.

"You don't realize how powerful they are until you're actually in them," Sabo said of the boils. "And at that pointpanic can set in."

Sabo said getting one's feet on the ground to stand up or push out of the boil is the best shot at getting out, but in places like the Chain Dam the water can be too deep to get out easily. Easton fire Capt. Henry Hennings said the water in the Lehigh was about 10 feet deep Wednesday and about 59 degrees.

City fire Chief John Bast said rescue crews cannot go into the boil during a rescue operation because of the likelihood of a first responder drowning.

"That's part of the problem," Bast said of accidents on dams. "If you get in trouble in some of those areas you're on your own."

Practicing safe boating

Sabo said the recent rain had caused currents to pick up and water

Athletics Notes: Colon, Balfour, Crisp, Anderson

Earlier today, Bartolo Colon told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle that he'd like to return to the A's next season and feels that he could pitch another three years in the Majors. At the time, it wasn't known if the A's were interested in a reunion, but in their postseason address to the media, both manager Bob Melvin and GM Billy Beane said they are interested in bringing Colon back for a third season (via Slusser and John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group on Twitter). Beane went so far as to say it'd be "foolish" for the team not to be interested. Here's more from on the A's…

Closer Grant Balfour isn't satisfied with only making the playoffs, he toldreporters, including MLB.com's Jane Lee. Balfour said he intends to keep playing until he can win a World Series (Twitter link).

Balfour also acknowledged to CSNBayArea.com's Casey Pratt that he wanted to make sure the inning he pitched in Game 5 last night was a good one, because he knew it may have been his last frame with the team (also on Twitter).

Melvin said today that the A's are well-equipped to handle the potential loss of Balfour, as internal options Ryan Cook and Sean Doolittle could take over as closer (via CSN California's Joe Stiglich on Twitter). As Stiglich goes on to caution, that comment doesn't mean Doolittle or Cook will close in 2014. The A's would likely explore the free agent relief market in that scenario for an

When he began to supplicate , he would begin praise and laudation of God saying : Praise belongs to God , the First , without a first before Him , the Last , without a last behind Him . Beholders’ eyes fall short of seeing Him , describers’ imaginations are not able to depict Him . He originated the creatures through His power with an origination , He devised them in accordance with His will with a devising . Then he made them walk on the path of His desire , He sent them out on the way of His love . They cannot keep back from that to which He has sent them forward , nor can they go forward tothat from which He has kept them back . He assigned from His provision to each of their spirits a nourishment known and apportioned . No decreaser decreases those of them whom He increases , no increaser increases those of them whom He decreases . Then for each spirit He strikes a fixed term in life , for each He sets up a determined end ; he walks toward it through the days of his span , he overtakes it through the years of his time . Then , when he takes his final step and embraces the reckoning of his span , God seizes him to the abundant reward or the feared punishment to which He has called him , ‘That He may repay those who do


and become as He has described in the firm text of His Book : ‘They are but as the cattle-nay , but they are further astray from the way !’ . Praise belongs to God , for the true knowledge of Himself He has given to us , the thanksgiving He has inspired us to offer Him , the doors to knowing His Lordship He has opened for us , the sincerity toward Him in professing His Unity to which He has led us , and the deviation and doubt in His Command from which He has turned us aside ; a praise through which we may be given long life among those of His creatures who praise Him , and overtake those who have gone ahead towardbut ease , and left none of us with an argument or excuse . So the perisher among us is he who perishes in spite of Him and the felicitous among us he who beseeches Him . And praise belongs to God with all the praises of His angels closest to Him , His creatures most noble in His eyes , and His praisers most pleasing to Him ; a praise that may surpass other praises as our Lord surpasses all His creatures .

TIP calls that "the best settlement argument" in its 2009 Global Language Dictionary.

You read the full document posted on Newsweek's site [PDF], and includes a preface by its author, the Republican pollster and spin doctor Frank Luntz. What is especially instructive about the document is that it concedes that Israel is on the defensive here in the US. It conveys a recognition that the new Obama administration policy on Israel has caused a sea change for the pro-Israel community. Instead of being on the offensive, always pressing its case, the lobby, perhaps for the first time, is in crisis mode. Bloomfield continues:

"The single toughest issue" to defend among Americans generally and American Jews in particular is settlements,


the German foreign minister and in a masterful bit of guilt and manipulation told him that it was inconceivable to Israel that the West Bank could be "Judenrein".

Similarly, the false argument that dismantling settlements amounts to "ethnic cleansing" is a tried and true settler argument. It too involves grossly abusing the contemporary language of human rights in order to convert a simple political exercise (a territorial compromise with the Palestinians) into an act of racist violence against the people of Israel.

Bloomfield notes another specious argument in the TIP manual: "It falls back on the old and disproven argument that 'the settlements are necessary for the security of Israel.'"

By no measure can anyone claim that the settlements improve Israel's security. In fact, violence perpetrated by extremist settlers against Palestiniansis a continuous source of friction, which forces thousands of IDF personnel to be stationed there to protect Jewish residents as they pursue their campaigns. Palestinians see the settlements and the occupation in general as painful reminders of their disenfranchisement. This in turn fuels acts of terrorist violence against settlers, which are often repaid in kind by Jewish extremists. Security? I think not.

Americans for Peace Now's Ori Nir places the issue in a broader context, also contradicting the TIP claim. "American Jews increasingly realise that settlements undermine Israel's ability to survive, long term, as a democratic Jewish state and that they undermine America's national security interest in a stable, peaceful Middle East," he told Bloomfield.

Barack Obama sees the settlements in this light, which is why he has made


The Spitting Incident

The night's opener, Sheep, was greeted with enthusiasm as soon as Waters belted out the first vocal line. The band seemed to be enjoying themselves but when Waters began to strum Pigs On The Wing part 1, the audience was noticeably talkative. Not more so than any other ballad you might hear at a concert, but you can just barely hear a couple firecrackers going off during the song. Waters played through the minute and a half song without incident and there was a brief pause before the next song, Dogs. This was greeted with more of a mild reaction than might be expected but Pink Floyd still sounded great. Unfortunately once the song ended, the night turned sour. Waters played the opening G chord ofPigs On The Wing part 2 once then stopped, then a second time, then stopped again. Just then a pop pierced the silence and the audience began murmuring about the self-indulgent fireworks. Waters was persistent and began a third time, this time making it to the lyrics. No sooner he'd gotten out the first line "you know that I care…" the air was split by a loud crack. Waters had had enough.

"Aww, for fuck's sake, stop lettin' off fireworks and shouting and screaming, I'm trying to sing the song!" This outburst was met with an approving roar from the audience, but he wasn't finished. You can tell from his tone that he had simply grown tired of the whole experience, as if he was a weary mother speaking


Waters had hoped. The band played on reasonably well (they were, after all, professionals) but the audience murmuring and intermittent whistles can be heard over his straining voice.

Exactly when Waters spat at the fan is impossible to discern but just as Pigs (Three Different Ones) begins, you can clearly hear another fan's surprise. "Oh wow, did you see that?" It's possible he was reacting to a part of the show but this comment was only moments after Waters' outburst. Although he later described himself as "shocked" by his own behavior, he certainly did not show any remorse during that set. Towards the end of Pigs (Three Different Ones), during the keyboard solo, he yelled out "Come back! All is forgiven! Come on, boy! Come on, son!" The scathingintentionally or not, his last four words had a bizarre echo repeat that was an approriate cap on a strange evening. The show actually closed with a blues jam, but this was cut short by Gilmour leaving for the mixing desk and roadies disassembling their gear, perhaps trying to put the whole tour behind them.

So why did Roger spit in that guy's face?

In short, it was pent up frustration that had been building for a long time. Problems with Pink Floyd and their audiences were nothing new, dating back to their earliest shows in England. Former manager Peter Jenner witnessed several of these shows, and perhaps the beginning of Waters' animosity for the crowd. "I remember Floyd played a jazz club in Ealing, and someone threw a big


old penny at Roger Waters because they weren't playing proper blues music, and it hit him in the teeth... People knew that Floyd were psychedelic, so they were expecting something weird, but there were occasions when audiences would get upset because they weren't getting a nice set of songs that sounded exactly like the single. I think it was in Dunstable that someone up in the balcony above the band poured a pint of beer over Roger in protest. Somehow it was always Roger who ended up as the target!" I don't know whether cases like this really did add up for Waters, like bricks in a wall, but by the mid-70s his attitude towards touring and the music business in general had undoubtedly soured. In 1975 heit's unreal 'cause I'm there. I'm at the top…I am the dream and it ain't worth dreaming about. Not in the way they think it is anyway."

Clearly the band's hearts and minds were not on touring or recording, and it showed up on their current album, Wish You Were Here. The first post-Dark Side album was filled with lyrical and symbolic references to their malaise, stemming from an overwhelming tour and disenfranchisement with the music business. As Waters described it, "It was all very mechanical," while Mason called it "a difficult record to make." Even the album cover showed two men in suits shaking hands with one getting burnt. So going into the Animals era, the band had become very jaded from both internal and external pressures. Perhaps


both figuratively and literally.

Every popular band experiences some problems with fans or audiences, but Pink Floyd had come to expect a certain decorum in their shows that erroded as their popularity rose. A Pink Floyd concert is more than just a string of songs played live--it's a musical and visual presentation of ideas, concepts and themes. This was most true during the 70s when the band abandonned their "hits" and were intent on performing an entire album (or albums) in sequence. Even in the post-Waters era, the shows still retained the imagery, sounds, and overall feeling of their previous shows, preserving continuity. As good as shows may be, and as loyal as the fans were, the fall out between the band and their audience was inevitable. Ultimately, PinkA LFC fan blog with analysis, opinion, news & ratings

Oldham 3-2 Liverpool: Calamitous Jones costs Reds in shock cup exit

Oldham completed a memorable FA Cup weekend as they dumped Liverpool out in the fourth round at Boundary Park on Sunday.

Matt Smith had given the League One side an unexpected lead after two minutes only for Liverpool’s captain for the day Luis Suarez to equalise 15 minutes later.

But Smith scored again on the stroke of half-time, before Reece Wabara extended his side’s lead two minutes after the break.

Joe Allen pulled a goal back for the Reds on 80 minutes, but the Premier League side were ultimately powerless to stop Oldham from progressing to the fifth round for the first time in 19 years.

The simplicity with which the visitors scored didn’t bode well for the hosts and Suarez seemed to have grabbed a second after 23 minutes but his header was ruled offside.

Sterling was then denied by Bouzanis from inside the box, but there seemed to be a distinct lack of urgency about the Reds – and they duly paid the price before half-time.

PEORIA, Ariz.

It is a sign of the Mariners’ improving bullpen that right-hander Dan Altavilla is no lock to make the opening day roster.

Altavilla, 24, is a power pitcher with closer potential who created a stir after he gave up just one run over 12 1/3 innings in 15 appearances last season following a late August jump from Double-A Jacksontime in the Angels’ system.

Sisk, 31, closed last season in the organization by making four scoreless appearances at Double-A Jackson after spending compiling a 1.94 ERA in 45 games at Somerset in the independent Atlantic League.

Judy, 31, had a 1.20 ERA last season for Quintana Roo in the Mexican League. His only big-league experience came in 2011, when he had a 7.07 ERA in 12 games for Cleveland.

Scott, 22, is a four-year pro who has not advanced past low Single-A ball. He batted .169 in 24 games last season at short season Single-A Orem in the Angels’ system.

the 1991 MMO – that one very few recall despite being such a historical landmark. I'm talking about the 2002 RPG by the same name, from BioWare, that came with the Aurora Toolset, allowing players to create their own adventures. It was extremely popular at the time, and where many developers and modders cut their teeth at game design.

The toolset was more acessible than that of Skyrim and other modern mod tools, so it had a huge, varied and friendly community gathered at the official community website, the IGN-hosted NWN Vault. There they hosted thousands of modules, art assets, pre-made characters, maps, comics, fan-fiction, contests and even interview with module creators.

People created some really high-quality adventures that rivaled with retail games. The Shadow Hearts campaign, for example, wonmultiple awards and is now being developed into a full game, currently on Steam Greenlight. And things got even bigger when Neverwinter Nights 2 was released, bringing even more content & fans to the vault.

Well, here's all the content of the NWN Vault today:

Think losing one demo is bad? How many modules do you think the NWN Vault hosted?

Luckily for us, a few noble souls had already began to worry about server instability and weird hiccups in the NWN Vault, and so a saint by the name of Rolo Kipp decided to start a backup website in 2012. Things got tense once Atari filled for bankruptcy in January 2013, but the Vault was hosted by IGN and so was kept open... until July, when it went down without

Hyde Park is a former New York Central Railroad station located where Crum Elbow Creek flows into the Hudson River in Hyde Park, New York. A one-story wooden station was first established by the Central at the spot in 1851 by the Hudson River Railroad, connecting New York City and Albany. It was replaced by the existing building, built in a combination of the Mission and Spanish Revival styles by Warren and Wetmore, the railroad's preferred architects who had also designed Grand Central Terminal and the nearby Poughkeepsie station, in 1914.

The station saw heavy use throughout the early years of its existence, due to the proximity of estates such as the Vanderbilt Mansion and, later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's frequent retreats to


station until 1958, after which the outer two of the line's four tracks were torn up and the tunnel to the southbound platforms closed off. Eventually the Central sold the station building to the Town of Hyde Park, one of many assets it divested itself of as it tried to stay afloat.

Local youths began fixing the station up for use as a teen center, but they failed to finish the project. By 1975 the abandoned building had fallen into disrepair and become heavily vandalized. It was one day away from demolition when the Hudson Valley Railroad Society (HVRS) took possession, renting the station from the town for a dollar per year for fifteen years. The HVRS completed the extensive interior and exterior renovations needed, including completely restoring thewithout having to legally vet each piece of content before posting it, the way that a news outlet would evaluate an article before publishing it. But early tech companies soon realized that they still needed to supervise their chat rooms to prevent bullying and abuse that could drive away users.

America Online convinced thousands of volunteers to police its chat rooms in exchange for free access to its service. But as more of the world connected to the internet, the job of policing became more difficult and companies started hiring workers to focus on it exclusively. Thus the job of content moderator now often called content reviewer was born.

In 2004, attorney Nicole Wong joined Google and persuaded the company to hire its first-ever team of reviewers, who responded to

Last year India cracked down on protesters in Kashmir, shooting pellet guns at them and shutting off cellphone service. Local insurgents are seeking autonomy for Kashmir, which is also caught in a territorial tussle between India and Pakistan. Posts of Kashmir activists were being deleted, and members of a group called the Kashmir Solidarity Network found that all of their Facebook accounts had been blocked on the same day.

Zuckerberg decided to allow it because it was part of the political discourse, according to people familiar with the situation.

However, one person close to Facebook’s decision-making said Trump may also have benefited from the exception for sub-groups. A Muslim ban could be interpreted as being directed against a sub-group, Muslim immigrants, and thus might not qualify as hate speech against a protected category.

History

1868: FOOTBALL IN MONTREAL

The first written account of a football game in Montreal, which some authorities characterize as the first football game played in North America, appeared on Oct. 10, 1868, by R. Tait Mackenzie. The game was played between a team of officers from the English troops garrisoned in Montreal and a team of civilians, mainly from McGill University at Montreal’s downtown cricket grounds.

1872: THE FIRST PRO TEAM IN MONTREAL

The Montreal Foot Ball Club was organized on Apr. 8, 1872, in one of the lower rooms of McGill’s Mechanics Hall Building. Montreal FC played its first game on Oct. 12 in Quebec City and then played host to that same Quebec City team two weeks later, on Oct. 26, at McGill University. Both games ended in 0-0ties.

1874: EVOLUTION OF THE RULES

McGill University students devised a set of rules for football in 1874, based upon the rules of English rugby. These hybrid rules were first employed in Boston, Mass. in a game between Harvard and McGill. On May 14, Harvard won 3-0 using American rules; the next day, using Canadian rules, the teams tied 0-0 and Canadian and American football evolved from those two match-ups. A new rule was then introduced in 1880 requiring teams to line up facing each other across an imaginary “line of scrimmage.” This important rule forever separated and distinguished football from its rugby cousin.

1946: BIRTH AND ORIGIN OF THE NAME “ALOUETTES”

In 1946, the Montreal Alouettes Football Club was founded as the successor to the teams of years past, thanks to


the combined efforts of football coach Lew Hayman and businessman Léo Dandurand. The pair decided to name the team “Alouettes” after hearing a group of snowshoers singing the popular French song in a Montreal hotel lobby. The Alouettes played at Delorimier Stadium, located in the East End of Montreal.

The origin of the team’s name comes from the 425th Squadron – the Royal Canadian Air Force’s first French Canadian squadron. Founded in 1942, the 425th Squadron quickly became known as the “Alouettes” in honour of the native Gallic bird renowned for its tenacity as well as for flying at very high altitude.The unit holds more than 190 medals for defending its country during the Second World War.

1949: THE FIRST GREY CUP

In 1949, in just the fourth year of theirthe franchise; however, and marked the beginning of more prosperous years for the Alouettes. The CFL was also formed in 1967 when the Canadian Football Council withdrew from the Canadian Rugby Union, and was renamed the Canadian Football League.

1970: THE SECOND GREY CUP

The players of the teams of the 1970s were again exciting and the Alouettes were the city’s darlings once more. Etcheverry took up a management position while Sonny Wade, Terry Evanshen and Peter Dalla Riva all starred on the field. The Alouettes won their second Grey Cup of the decade, and the fourth in Montreal history, with a 23-10 triumph over Calgary.

1974: THE THIRD GREY CUP

The ‘70 win was only the beginning for Montreal, which would win another championship under head coach Marv Levy in 1974


with a 20-7 win over the Edmonton Eskimos, with a team that featured “The Ordinary Superstar‘’ Johnny Rodgers, Larry Smith and Wally Buono.

1977: THE FOURTH GREY CUP

Following the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, the team moved to the Olympic Stadium. The success of the organization continued on the field as the Alouettes played in three consecutive Grey Cup finals (1977, 1978, 1979), winning in 1977 in front of a record crowd of 68,318 at Olympic Stadium.

1996-1999: THE REBIRTH OF THE ALOUETTES

The CFL returned to Montreal in the late 1990s. New owner Bob Wetenhall brought in former CFL commissioner and Alouettes’ fullback Larry Smith as team president and the two revitalized the team and football in the city. The Alouettes’ rebuilding process began in 1997, and by 1999, theteam was once again playing to sellout crowds at McGill Stadium.

2001: THE 89th GREY CUP IN MONTREAL

The City of Montreal hosted the 2001 Grey Cup, played in front of a sellout crowd of 65,255 at the Olympic Stadium. The Alouettes, in partnership with the city and its business leaders, held a week-long, first-class entertainment spectacle and celebration of football, the crowning touch in the return of football to Montreal and Quebec.

2002: THE FIFTH GREY CUP

Led by Don Matthews, the Alouettes won their fifth Grey Cup, and their first in 25 years, by defeating the Edmonton Eskimos 25-16 at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. The victory earned owner Bob Wetenhall the first Grey Cup since his 1997 acquisition of the team. The following cold, sunny Wednesday afternoon, an estimated


crowd of 250,000 grateful, happy fans warmed the hearts of the Alouettes by lining Ste. Catherine St. to salute their Grey Cup champions.

2008: THE 96th GREY CUP IN MONTREAL

Proud hosts of the 2001 Grey Cup in Montreal, the Alouettes once again brought the CFL’s championship to the Olympic Stadium in 2008. One of the greatest successes in Grey Cup history, the game was played in front of over 66,000 people following an exciting week of festivities in the downtown Grey Cup Village.

2009: THE SIXTH GREY CUP

As the most dominant team of the decade, the Als reached the Grey Cup four times between their last win in 2002 and 2009, but lost each time. In 2009, however, the time had come to return to the top of the league.The Alouettes locked up the title with one of the biggest comebacks in championship history after falling behind 17-3 at halftime, Marc Trestman’s troops led by Anthony Calvillo and Avon Cobourne, were 28-27 winners over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 97th Grey Cup.

2010: THE SEVENTH GREY CUP

For the second straight year, the Alouettes engraved their name on the Grey Cup, something that hadn’t been seen for more than 10 years in the CFL. Anthony Calvillo led his team to a 21-18 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Jamel Richardson was named the most outstanding player of the game which was played in Edmonton.

This special issue is going to introduce the origins of the "Regional Network on Asian Schistosomiasis (RNAS)" which can be traced back to 1996. RNAS was originally a collaboration of scientists from China and Philippines, and then expanded to Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan and Laos, with focusing on research and control of schistosomiasis japonica. However, at its fifth meeting in Bali, Indonesia in 2005, more countries such as Vietnam, Thailand and Korea were brought on board along with a string of neglected tropical diseases such as cysticercosis, clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis and fascioliasis, and RNAS thus became RNAS+.

diffuser turns the steam directly toward the bottom outlet opening. However, the steam discharging at the top of the diffuser must turn 180.degree. from the vertically upward direction to the vertically downward direction, in addition to turning 90.degree. from the axial direction to the vertically upward direction. Consequently, vortices are formed within the exhaust housing in the vicinity of the top of the diffuser outlet that create losses in the steam flow that detract from the efficiency of the exhaust system and, therefore, the performance of the turbine.
One approach for minimizing such losses used in the past involves the incorporation of flow dividers into the exhaust diffuser that allow the steam to expand and turn into the radial direction through several smaller concentric flow passages, rather than a(FAC ¶ 47.)

You don't become the second highest grossing actor of all time by saying no to movie roles. Over the past five decades, Samuel L. Jackson has become a household name thanks to a career of films containing his most identifiable catchphrase: "motherfucker." He said "motherfucker" in Django Unchained. He said "motherfucker," famously, in Pulp Fiction. And we wouldn't be surprised if he said "motherfucker" in Astro Boy (if only we could find someone who actually saw it).

Jackson's irreverent profanity seems to be one of the driving forces behind the creation of The Hitman's Bodyguard, a foul-mouthed action comedy from The Expendables 3 director Patrick Hughes that's elevated from awful to passable by the strength of its leads' charisma alone.

Joining Jackson is Ryan Reynolds,


the former Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place star that's had a mid-career resurgence thanks to his portrayal of the "Merc with a Mouth" in Marvel's Deadpool. In it, he swore up a storm, which makes his potty mouth and movie star good looks the perfect complement to Jackson's prolific mother-loving expletives.

Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, a former CIA member and triple A-rated protective agent who has his classification revoked after a job with a foreign dignitary goes wrong. Flash forward a few years later and he's providing detail for coked-out lawyers in a shit-smelling sedan. When his ex-girlfriend, Interpol agent Amelia Roussel (Élodie Yung), tells him a formerly incarcerated hitman (Jackson) is set to testify against a merciless dictator (Gary Oldman) and that her operation hasbeen compromised, he's tasked with taking care of the deadly assassin.

Its simple, odd couple premise doesn't get much more interesting from there, as the pair battles it out against henchmen on European highways, riverfronts, back alleys and hardware stores (in one of the film's more unique fight scenes). Two-time screenwriter Tom O'Connor occasionally attempts to beef up their backstories to explain his characters' jaded personas, but it's no match for both of their typecast personalities, which dominate the film, for better or worse.

"The consumer is starting to get more choice," he added.

Eiley pointed to Apple and Disney as two major corporations that plan to launch streaming platforms in the United States later this year.

Both companies are expected to eventually make a push into Canada, though Eiley anticipates at least Disney may secure a deal with an existing Canadian media company, similar to how Bell Media's Crave carries HBO and Showtime programs.

This topic is approached by considering the 'composition opportunity', success in which is seen as an important element in 'making it' in this sphere. We argue that such schemes in fact manifest a crucial tension in the nature of artistic labour, and are, at the very least, problematic in their function as conduits towards full professional identity. They may instead act to maintain the precarious working situation of composers in a neoliberal age. The working lives of artists are all too rarely illuminated, and new music composers are no exception;


After a delay of nearly an hour, the event got underway with a slalom test on the National start straight. Once completed, the cars carried on round the circuit to the Hanger straight for the standing 250 metres test followed immediately by the flying 250 metre test. More delays occurred due to problems with the timing equipment on this test. Having crossed the flying finish line, the cars carried on to the Grand Prix pit straight where the finial morning test consisted of a standing start, accelerate to 100 metres, followed by another 100 metres at any speed and then braking to a standstill in a 6 metre box, with timing from the 100 metre mark to when the car stops. If it stops outside the box, theywill score no points.

This is the only event on the calendar that mixes vintage, classic and modern cars all in a single handicap event which is designed to give every competition the chance for victory. This year the entry ranged from a 1910 Hupmobile 20 driven by Richard Ellingworth right through to a 2014 Volkswagen Golf driven by Mark Butterworth, with a Chevron B8 sports car potentially the fastest car on the circuit in terms of outright lap speed. There are always unusual vehicles at this event, and this year there were various estate cars including Peter Deffee in a 1956 Morris Minor 1000 and a 1981 Austin Maxi driven by William Lake.

At the end of the day it was David Wylie who won the Pomeroy trophy in


his 1974 white and green BMW 2002, while Andrew Smith in his 1926/29 Frazer Nash Super Sports was awarded the Densham Trophy for the best performance by a VSCC eligible pre-war car not winning the main Pomeroy Trophy. The other main award, the Pomeroy Edwardian Trophy was awarded to Miss Rebecca Smith who drove a 1911/12 Vauxhall Prince Henry Replica. There were numerous class winners in such a large field and these included Martin Whitlock in a 1963 MG B, former Pomeroy winner Dudley Sterry in his 1937/39 HRS Sports, Adrian Going in a 1960 Morris Mini, Martin Hunt in a 1952 Frazer Nash Targa Florio, Mrs Pia Bianchi in her MG B and Winston Teague in his Frazer Nash Falcon. The other class winners were Patrick Blakeney-Edwardsin an Austin Healey 3000 from 1961, Paul Baker in another 1934 Frazer Nash Sports, Andrew Hall in his 1968 Chevron B8, Theodore Hunt in yet another Frazer Nash TT Rep, Alex Ames in a 2002 Renault Clio Cup car, Tim Kneller in a 1933 Riley TT Sprite and finally Nick Leston at the wheel of a 1973 Porsche 911E.

Jessie Vargas and Terrence Crawford are leading candidates to fight Horn for his WBO welterweight belt in November or December after Pacquiao pulled out because he’ll be visiting China on official senatorial duties during what was supposed to be his training camp.

Pacquiao had agreed to the rematch clause to fight Horn again at Suncorp Stadium on November 12, but in recent days began telling Filipino reporters he wanted the fight held in Manila.

Then on Friday the government trip to China unexpectedly came up as an excuse not to rematch Horn, leaving many pundits suspicious.

the States.

Vargas (27-2, 10KO) lost his last bout to Pacquiao in November 2016, with his only other defeat coming at the hands of Tim Bradley.

He is ranked ninth on the WBO list and would make a challenging first up defence for Horn.

The undefeated Crawford, on the other hand, would be far tougher challenge.

He became the first man in 15 years to unify an entire division when he claimed the four major belts of the light-welterweight division with a knockout of Julius Indongo a fortnight ago.

But Crawford (32-0, 23KO) looks set to move up a weight class and he would see Horn as a pathway to setting up a big-money fight against Pacquiao himself.

QUÉBEC’S FIRST DIAMOND MINER SEES SPIKE IN PRICES AND SALES

While most of Canada’s known diamond deposits are located in the vast Northwest Territories, the Renard mine is the only functioning facility in the mainly French-speaking province of Québec, in the northeast of the country.

Wholly-owned by the Stornoway Corporation, the mine is situated in the James Bay region of north-central Québec. Construction began at the site in July 2014, following the completion of an almost $770 million project financing package, the largest ever for a publicly listed diamond company.

Now in commercial production, it is expected to produce an average of 1.6 million carats per year over an initial


14-year mine life, representing approximately 1 percent of global supply. Commercial production began at the site on January 1, 2017.

The first year was tough, though, with the company recording a loss of $88.8 million in 2017, in part of because of poor weather conditions at the mining site, where temperatures regularly dip below minus 20 degrees centigrade during the frigid winter months. Furthermore, unexpected geological conditions resulted in lower-than forecast grades of ore being recovered.

But things now appear to be looking up. The first quarter of 2018 saw a strong performance for Stornoway in sales and pricing, with successivelyreported the discovery of a 189-carat rough diamond at Renard. While relatively low in quality, it is still one of the largest diamonds ever mined in Canada.

While most of Canada’s known diamond deposits are located in the vast Northwest Territories, the Renard mine is the only functioning facility in the mainly French-speaking province of Québec, in the northeast of the country.


A clinic run by murdered late-term abortion doctor George Tiller will shut forever, his family said.

The announcement was a tainted victory for America's anti-abortion movement which had for years made Dr Tiller the focus of protests, legislation and legal attacks.

Dr Tiller, who argued that women with access to pre-natal testing needed options in case those tests uncovered severe foetal abnormalities, was shot dead on May 31 while serving as an usher at his Lutheran church in Wichita, Kansas.

Dr Tiller's death reignited a public debate over some abortion opponents' tactics and left many wondering how it would transform the abortion battleground.

Kansas has long been a lightning rod in the highly controversial social issue. In 2002 the leader of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue even moved his organisation to Wichitato wage an aggressive campaign.

Now, with the clinic's doors closed, the movement loses one of its key protest symbols.

"Part of what is a tragedy about this is that violence has achieved its objective," said Nancy Northup, president of Centre for Reproductive Rights.

"There is a concerted, ongoing effort at harassment and restriction with an aim to make doctors leave the field."

Operations at Women's Health Care Services in Wichita were suspended following Dr Tiller's death last month. In a statement released by his lawyers, his family said relatives had chosen to honour him with charitable activities instead of reopening the clinic.

"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's health care needs have been met because of his dedication and service,"


the family said in the statement.

Operation Rescue said it had no plans to leave Wichita and the group's leader, Troy Newman, called the family's decision to close the clinic "bittersweet".

He said his group wanted to close abortion clinics but "I want to see them close through peaceful, legal non-violent means".

Dr Tiller's clinic had long served as a rally point for abortion opponents. Most protests were peaceful, but his clinic was bombed in 1986 and he was shot in both arms in 1993. In 1991, a 45-day "Summer of Mercy" campaign organised by Operation Rescue drew thousands of abortion opponents to Wichita and there were more than 2,700 arrests.

Dr Tiller's clinic was one of a handful of clinics across the US that perform third-term abortions.

Kansas state law allows abortionson viable foetuses after the 21st week only if carrying the pregnancy to term would endanger the mother's life or cause a "substantial and irreversible impairment" of a major bodily function. Courts have interpreted a "major bodily function" to include mental health.

Colorado doctor Warren Hern, Dr Tiller's long-time friend who also performs late-term abortions, called the closing an "outrage" and said for the rest of his life, he would also be a target of the anti-abortion movement.

"How much can you resist this kind of violence?" he said. "What doctor, what reasonable doctor would work there? Where does it stop?"

At least one doctor, LeRoy Carhart, had expressed an interest in reopening Dr Tiller's clinic. Following the family's decision, the Nebraska doctor said he would not abandon his effort to


Former Boston Red Sox star Johnny Damon, who was eliminated on the Monday night premiere of "Dancing with the Stars: Athletes," thinks his pal Donald Trump is hitting a home run as president.

"I think Donald's doing a great job of trying to bring everything to the table, just work at something instead of wasting people's time," Damon told Fox News.

Damon hinted that he could be doing a project with Trump in the near future, saying, "Some big news is coming out on me later on this week so it should be pretty good."

The former baseball player, who won a World Series ring with both the Red Sox and rival New York Yankees, said he can call Trump directly if he wanted to.

Damon campaigned for Trump before the 2016election.

Before one Trump rally in Orlando, Damon told attendees from the podium, "People wonder why I like Donald Trump. I actually love the guy. Why? Because he likes winners, he likes to win, he likes everything to be great, not just for him but for everybody, and he wants to make America great again."

Damon was a competitor on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" in early 2015. He was "fired" by Trump on the reality show but they stayed friends.

Damon performed a baseball-themed foxtrot to the song "Centerfield" by John Fogerty with pro Emma Slater, earning 18 out of 30 points on Monday. The score was not enough to make it to the next round.

These days, Damon does a lot of charity work, running The Johnny Damon Foundation for disadvantaged children


Biography

Born: 15 August 1946 in Elk City, OK

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Jimmy Webb is that rarity in rock music, a professional songwriter who achieved stardom in that capacity. Rock music has its share of great songwriters, but most of them — Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Gene Clark, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend — became best known for their own recordings of their best work. Webb has also performed live, and recorded fairly extensively, but his performing career never approached his success as a composer. His songwriting...In case you missed it, the 2018 Milwaukee Brewers finished one game out of the World Series. Propelled by an MVP season from Christian Yelich and a stellar bullpen, the Brewers won the National League Central Division and the National League Division Series. With the start of the 2019 season just days away, fans can expect almost all of the faces they came to recognize in 2018 to return for 2019. In addition, the Brewers can also expect Jimmy Nelson to return to the starting rotation and a significant upgrade in Yasmani Grandal at catcher. These additions leave little doubt as to the team’s offensive prowess, however there are still many questions regarding their young pitching staff.

Very little was needed to improve the Brewers lineup, but there are


many questions about their starting rotation. The largest question revolves around starter Jimmy Nelson. Nelson missed the entire 2018 season while rehabbing from a significant shoulder injury that occurred at the end of the 2017 season. The Brewers need a healthy Jimmy Nelson to perform at the level he did in 2017. In 2017, Nelson pitched 175.1 innings with 10.21 strikeouts per nine innings and .82 home runs per nine innings. If Nelson can achieve this level of dominance, he will play the role of rotation ace.

Aside from Nelson, the Brewers have a very young rotation made up of Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, Zach Davies, and Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin, the elder statesman of the rotation, was the most reliable pitcher and workhorse of the rotation. Chacin pitched 192.2innings with an opponent BABIP (Batting Average of Balls In Play) of .250 and striking out 7.29 per nine innings. Chacin will be relied upon as a foundation block for Corbin Burnes, in his first major league season as a starter, and Freddy Peralta to build upon.

The Brewers entered the 2018-2019 offseason with one of the most dominant bullpens in the league and one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable, relief pitchers in the game, Josh Hader. Hader pitched 81.1 innings with a rate of 15.82 strikeouts per nine innings. Along with Hader, the Brewers planned to rely heavily on Jeremy Jeffress and Corey Knebel. This is going to be a difficult task as Jeffress will not be ready for the start of the season


and Knebel is on the disabled list dealing with an UCL issue that will most likely sideline him for a large portion of the season.

To balance the load left by the injuries to Jeffress and Knebel, the Brewers added veteran Alex Wilson, who spent four seasons with Detroit and recently opted out of a minor league deal with Cleveland. There has also been reports that the Brewers are in talks with former Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel. While Wilson has been a reliable bullpen arm, Kimbrel would sit alongside Hader as the bullpen ace.

Last offseason, the Brewers added Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich over the course of one day. This offseason, the Brewers did not make as many moves but took advantage of a sluggish free agent marketto address a major hole in their lineup, catcher. The Brewers signed Yasmani Grandal, formerly of the Los Angeles Dodgers, to a one-year deal. In 2018, Grandal finished the season with a wOBA (weighted On-base Average) of .352 and a wRC (weighted Runs Created) of 76 compared to Pina’s wOBA of .301 and wRC of 36. Grandal finished last season with a .782 OPS compared to a collective OPS from Pina, Erik Kratz and Jett Bandy of .657. This represents a major upgrade both offensively and defensively at a spot in the Brewers lineup which was a major liability in 2018.

The Brewers brought back Mike Moustakas, who was acquired via a midseason trade with Kansas City, to a one-year deal to play second base. Moustakas was not a


complete game changer the way Cain and Yelich were in 2018, or how Grandal is hoped to be in 2019, but brings significant power to second base. Over the past two seasons Moustakas hit 66 homeruns while playing in 148 games in 2017 and 152 games in 2018.

The lineup will look very similar to 2018, aside from Grandal playing the majority of catcher. Expect to see:

Lorenzo Cain – CF

Christian Yelich – RF

Jesus Aguilar – 1B

Travis Shaw – 3B

Ryan Braun – LF

Mike Moustakas – 2B

Yasmani Grandal – C

Orlando Arcia – SS

In almost every other division the 2019 Brewers team would be a safe bet to make and play deep into the playoffs. The 2019 N.L. Central Division will possibly be the most competitive division in Major League Baseball andsecretary of State, saying it put national security at risk.

Trump has been at the center of a political firestorm over the past week after feuding with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of the soldier.

One day after Obama spoke at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, Khizr Khan delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S.

Standing beside his wife, Khan questioned whether Trump has ever read the U.S. Constitution while waving a a pocket copy of the founding document. He also said Trump has not sacrificed for his country.

Trump said in an interview with ABC News that he had sacrificed by building his business. And he also suggested the bereaved mother's initial silence was because of her religion.

Trump again responded to Khan’s

## 13. Propaganda

13.1 Definition: Propaganda is defined as the dissemination of information which is favourable to the objectives of the manipulator but which omits information which is unfavourable. The information distributed in propaganda is normally accurate as far as it goes, but the reports issued by a manipulator are incomplete, and whatever facts considered contrary to the manipulator's interests are filtered out before transmission to the victim.

13.2 Persistence: Medium to Long: Well delivered and credible propaganda can be very long lasting and very difficult to budge.

Take for example the concept that, until quite recently, every UK schoolchild learned: Britain won the 2nd World War with a little help from the USA. SimilarTransfer: Transfer is another classical propagandist technique first documented by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis in 1938.

Transfer is often used in politics and during wartime. It is an attempt to make the subject view a certain item in the same way as they view another item, to link the two in the subject's mind. Although this technique is often used to transfer negative feelings for one object to another, it can also be used in positive ways.

By linking an item to something the subject respects or enjoys, positive feelings can be generated for it. However, in politics, transfer is most often used to transfer blame or bad feelings from one politician to another of his friends or party members, or even to the party itself.

These days, manipulation seems hard-wired into human social interaction and before we take a high moral position on the use of manipulation in our social interactions we must first honestly answer the question: "Have we ever engaged in an act of manipulation against an unsuspecting victim?"

Adolescent Preexposure Prophylaxis Administration: An Education Curriculum for Health Care Providers.
On May 15, 2018, the Federal Drug Administration amended the approval of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to include minors (>35 kgs). Adolescent providers are now in need of access to a comprehensive education curriculum on the administration of PrEP to adolescents. This paper outlines such a curriculum with the goal of reaching adolescent providers unfamiliar with PrEP assessment, administration, and monitoring. A comprehensive adolescent PrEP curriculum was designed using a literature review. An expert panel of seven reviewed the curriculum for content validity. A pilot implementation of the curriculum was conducted with staff from eight school-based health clinics located in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. A formal content-validated curriculum was established providing adolescent health care providers with the tools’60s icons today: The more things change ...

It’s not unusual for someone to spend 50 years doing what they love. Here’s a look at some of the people who began making their mark in the Sixties, and are still doing the work that made them famous.

Paul and Ringo

Beatlemania lost steam after the Sixties, but the members of the band kept going strong. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are the two surviving members of The Beatles, and they’re still playing music. Ringo tours with his All Starr Band, and Paul released “Flowers in the Dirt” earlier this year, playing concerts around the world to support the album.

Gloria Steinem

Steinem began her work as a women’s rights activist in the late 1960s as a writer. She’s still front and center in


the battle for equality, most recently delivering a keynote speech at the Women’s March on Washington in January.

Buzz Aldrin

Part of the Apollo 11 crew — the first to make a lunar landing in 1969 — Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon, after Neil Armstrong. Aldrin has written multiple books and received numerous awards over the years, and continues to make occasional appearances on television and at Comic Cons. The 87-year-old became the oldest man to fly with the U.S. Air Force’s Thunderbirds in April.

Ann-Margret

Ann-Margret became a star in the 1960s in movies like “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Viva Las Vegas” and “The Cincinnati Kid.” She’s continued to perform on stage and on the big screen in every decade since, including most recently in “Going InStyle.”

Aretha Franklin

In 1967 she was dubbed “The Queen of Soul,” and though she announced that she would be retiring from touring after this year, Franklin is still performing in 2017 at the age of 75. She also doesn’t plan to stop recording music ... meaning she’ll continue to earn plenty of “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.”

Stevie Wonder

Little Stevie Wonder is no longer little, but he’s still putting out music. Wonder was 10 years old in 1960, and throughout the Sixties he was a touring musician, finding great success in the succeeding decades. Now 67, he is still making music, including most recently a collaboration with none other than Aretha Franklin.

Cher

She rose to prominence as part of Sonny and Cher in the mid-Sixties with “I Got You Babe,” and is still at it


as a solo act more than 50 years later. In between Cher had success on television as well as in the movies — winning an Oscar for “Moonstruck” — and of course as a Grammy-award winning singer.

Bob Dylan

More than 50 years before he won a Nobel Prize, Dylan was making a name for himself as one of the most influential singer-songwriters in the world. His music tackled the social issues of the time and, despite a near-fatal motorcycle accident in 1966, Dylan has remained an influence until today. He accepted his Nobel in literature in April.

Mick and Keith

In the 1960s, led by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones were a rock ‘n’ roll band touring the world. Some of the band members have changed over theyears, but in 2017, still led by Mick and Keith, the Rolling Stones are a rock ‘n’ roll band touring the world. Their latest album, “Blue & Lonesome,” released in December, peaked at No. 1 on the UK charts and No. 4 in the U.S., and has been certified platinum in England, Germany and France.

Please join us for an early evening hosted by MSU Archives and MSU Press featuring an enlightening retelling of the history of a World War II-era steam locomotive and the determination of two generations of volunteers to keep it running!

Kevin P. Keefe will be speaking October 26, in Conrad Hall, Room 102, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. regarding his new book Twelve Twenty-Five: The Life and Times of a Steam Locomotive.

Pere Marquette 1225 was built in 1941 at the peak of steam locomotive development. The narrative traces the 1225’s regular freight service in Michigan, its unlikely salvation from the scrapyard for preservation at Michigan State University, and the subsequent work to bring it back to steam, first by a student club


Norway Faces Liquidity Shock in Record Redemption

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp took the chance to rest 32-goal Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah for Tuesday’s Champions League last 16, second leg against Porto with the English side boasting a 5-0 first-leg lead.

Klopp makes five changes in all from the team that started a 2-0 win over Newcastle last time out with one eye on Saturday’s trip to Manchester United in the Premier League.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also drop out to make way for Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Alberto Moreno, James Milner and Adam Lallana.

European Community agreed on behalf of individual nations some of who now say they will not meet CO2 reduction targets. However, there is an exit strategy, because Kyoto Protocol Article 27 states: “At any time after three years from the date on which this Protocol has entered into force for a Party [2005], that Party may withdraw from this Protocol by giving written notification to the Depositary.” Regardless, the Protocol expires at the end of 2012 and that is why Copenhagen (COP 15) was critical.

Leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit in November 2009 undermined Copenhagen completely as COP 16 in Cancun proved. Attendance at Cancun was down 82% and the pretense about reducing greenhouse gases was exposed. It was about redistribution of wealth by making developed nationsstreams developed as people exploited opportunities. One was making money from selling carbon credits; the other was political control by legislating against those who produced CO2. Al Gore initially combined both as he used his political position to make money. A 1997 White House meeting with Ken Lay of Enron and Lord Browne of BP determined the structure of the CO2 legislation and division of the market. Gore also formed and chaired Generation Investment Management (GIM) that benefited from carbon credits.

Maurice Strong made money, but after setting up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Kyoto he disappeared into the political shadows. He was on the Board of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) designed to trade credits and set up with money from the George Soros funded


147. At the hearing's conclusion, the trial court denied Davis's petition.
Several months later, in April 1999, Wiggins and Davis entered into a written dissolution agreement, which the court adopted in a summary dissolution decree. The agreement provided that Wiggins and Davis would have joint custody over S.D. and D.D., with Wiggins responsible for primary custody of S.D. and Davis responsible for primary custody of D.D. R. at 69. On May 20, 1999, Davis filed a petition seeking an emergency order to transfer primary custody of S.D. to him. Attached to Davis's petition was a Madison County Police Department initial case report dated May 12, 1999. The report alleged that Wiggins's twelve-year-old son from a previous marriage was molesting both S.D. and D.D. R. at 74. The trial court,accordingly, transferred primary custody of S.D. to Davis and allowed Wiggins supervised visitation only.
After another several-month interval, on January 6, 2000, an evidentiary hearing was held to determine whether Davis should receive permanent custody of S.D. and D.D. During the January 2000 hearing, Davis began to testify about events that occurred before the October 1998 hearing. Wiggins promptly objected to any testimony about events that occurred prior to the April 1999 divorce decree. The trial court initially sustained the objection but changed its ruling after a discussion of caselaw addressing the custody modification statute. Davis then testified to molestation occurring before and after the April 1999 divorce decree. Davis also testified that, before the April 1999 divorce decree, Wiggins would leave the children alone while she worked third


was a dryer which heated up to three hundred and ten (310) degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to the excessive heat generated by the dryer, Perez testified that the printing process itself produced smoke and vapors which caused her to experience flu-like symptoms. Perez contends that on several occasions she complained to the defendant about the oppressive heat and the lack of adequate ventilation, to no avail.
On July 10, 1989, while working on a printing assignment in the back room, Perez testified she fainted and fell due to the heat and vapors. As a result of the fall, she was hospitalized for several days with heat exhaustion and a head injury, and thereafter underwent surgery.
Perez filed a common-law negligence action against the defendant-employer, McConkey,[1] alleging that inadequate ventilation resultedassumption of risk. It was originally applied in Roman-Law as a means of validating the process by which a free citizen sold himself into slavery.[7] Although the date it first appeared in recorded English case law was 1305,[8] the first notable expression of the contemporary common-law doctrine of assumption of risk has been traditionally traced to Lord Abinger's opinion in Priestly v. Fowler, 3 M. & W. 1, 150 Eng.Rep. 1030 (Ex. 1837). There, the plaintiff, a servant of the defendant, was injured by being thrown to the ground when a "van," overloaded by another of the defendant's servants, broke down.[9] Lord Abinger denied recovery, concluding that "the plaintiff must have known as well as his master, and probably better, whether the van was sufficient, whether it was


overloaded, and whether it was likely to carry him safely." Id., 150 Eng.Rep. at 1033. Although Lord Abinger was addressing himself to domestic servants such as chamber maids, coachmen, and footmen, the doctrine of assumption of risk expanded and was extensively applied in master-servant cases during the ensuing industrial revolution where it was interposed to defeat countless claims of injured workers.
Inevitably, the doctrine became a part of American common law as an instrument of public policy to be applied in the American Industrial Revolution. In a refinement of the holding in Priestly, Chief Justice Shaw of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in Farwell v. Boston & Worcester RR Corp., 45 Mass. 49 (1842), during our nation's Industrial Revolution, found that a worker's contract of employment impliedly includesRussia and China intend to work together to combat the illegal supply of wood

Lava lamp creators mark 50 years of 1960s icon

Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play.

A quick drink in a pub in the heart of Hampshire's New Forest was to give the world an iconic symbol of the psychedelic 1960s that is still going strong as it marks its 50th anniversary.

An early prototype lava lamp shell

Edward Craven Walker was inspired to create the lava lamp after admiring an oil and water-based ornament he had spotted on display in the country inn - and in September 1963 he set up a company, now known as Mathmos, to research, develop and most importantly market his invention.

Mathmos - named after the lava-like substance which features in the cult film Barbarella - will celebrate its 50th birthday next month with theinstallation of a gigantic 200-litre lamp at London's Royal Festival Hall and the launch of a limited edition model designed by Mr Craven Walker's widow, Christine Baehr.

"Edward was very focused, driven, full of ideas," said Ms Baehr. "When he had an idea he would see it through to the end."

Long before the days of crowd-funding and Dragons' Den, persuading investors to get on board was no mean feat.

"Because it was so completely new we had to convince people it was worth going with, particularly when it came to selling," Ms Baehr recalled. "Some people thought it was absolutely dreadful."

The Sixties were also less connected times. "We didn't have any online technology," she told the BBC. "We literally had to go around in a van."

Nonetheless, word soon spread about


the brightly coloured lamps with their mesmerising wax shapes that formed, rose and sank because of the heat of tungsten bulbs.

In the mid 1960s, they made their first TV appearance on the set of Doctor Who. Another sci-fi series, The Prisoner, followed and in 1980 Hollywood called - the Craven Walkers were asked to deliver bespoke models to the set of Superman III.

"When did we realise things were going really well? The day a store in Birkenhead phoned to say that Ringo Starr had just been in and bought a lava lamp," said Ms Baehr.

"Suddenly we thought, 'Wow, we have hit it.'"

Doctor Who episode The Wheel in Space was the first to feature lava lamps in 1968.

'Post-war drudgery'

The initial appeal of the lava lamp was in part arebellion against the post-war drudgery of interior design, when bright colours were too expensive to manufacture on a wide scale, believes architect Dan Hopwood, council member of the British Institute of Interior Design.

"Suddenly there were all these new printing and dying methods - all those acid colours started coming in - it was quite exciting," he said of the beginning of the trend for psychedelia.

"Have you ever been inside an original 1940s interior? It looks like mud."

But like all fashions, the trend eventually came to an end. In the mid-1980s, a quiet time for lava lamp lovers, Cressida Granger stumbled upon them in a hunt for some new merchandise for her vintage furniture stall in London's Camden Market.

When she saw how well they sold she contacted the manufacturer,


coincidentally based in her own birthplace of Poole in Dorset.

By the late 1980s, Ms Granger was managing director of the firm she decided to rebrand Mathmos.

Patent problems

One of her first issues was a problem corporations still battle with today - the patent the Craven Walkers had taken out to protect their invention had expired after a standard period of 20 years.

However, luckily for Ms Granger, the world had not yet noticed - and round the corner was a new generation of lava lamp lovers, the British university students of the 1990s.

"People didn't realise the patents had run out," she said.

Cressida Granger took over the company in the late 1980s.

"When people did realise then we had lots of competition to deal with but we did have a lovely periodof monopoly in the 90s. It was a case of right time, right place, right product."

Ms Granger believes the firm sold more during this period of revival than the original burst of interest in the 1960s.

Despite the company's secrecy over the exact ingredients of its lava lamp formula, cheaper copies soon started to appear from Asia.

Mathmos, however, decided to stay put.

"It would be much cheaper to make lava lamps in China," said Ms Granger, adding that some of the company's other LED lighting products are no longer made in the UK.

"But I think it's special to make a heritage thing in the place it's always been made. The bottles are made in Yorkshire, the bases are made in Devon, the bottles are filled in Poole and the lamps


Serena Williams has complained of excessive dope-testing demands after a tester working for Usada visited her in Florida outside her specified “whereabouts" window and found her not at home.

When informed of the visit, Williams then phoned the head of the Women’s Tennis Association, Steve Simon, to say that she was being unfairly targeted. Simon told her that this was a Usada issue, and that he would pass her views onto Travis Tygart, the organisation’s head.

But the story escaped into the public domain after Simon was overheard discussing the case on his mobile phone in a public area of San Francisco Airport. An eavesdropper forwarded the information to the Deadspin website, which published it late on Wednesday night, UK time.

It should be emphasised that no athlete is obliged tono capital contributions to Nestle.  The tender offer succeeded and, in January 1985, Carnation became a consolidated subsidiary of Nestle.  After the acquisition, Nestle made requisite interest and principal payments to the related parties and deducted the interest payments as expenses on its tax returns.

As a result of the acquisition, Nestle became the owner of Carnation's intangible assets.  Because NSA's policy was for it to own all of the trademarks and trade names used by Nestle companies, Nestle1 sold to NSA the intangibles acquired from Carnation, including trademarks, trade names, patents, and technology.  Nestle and NSA agreed that the price of the intangibles would be their fair market value and that NSA would cancel a portion of Nestle's debt to it in exchange for
