     UPS hired Rhonda Knoop in 1990 and she began working in the Air Cargo Resolution Group
(the “Claims Department”) in February 1998. Knoop handled customer calls regarding lost
shipments. Eli Brock was the manager of the Claims Department during the entire two-and-a-half
year period in which Knoop worked in that group. Knoop alleges that during this time, there were
several instances where Brock behaved inappropriately towards her. First, Knoop contends that
Brock told sexual jokes in front of her and others that she felt were inappropriate. Knoop also
claims that twice, as Brock walked by her in the hall, he placed his vibrating pager against her upper
thigh and asked her if it “felt good.” On those occasions Knoop simply walked away. Finally,
Knoop claims that in January 2001, she waswearing overalls for “dress down” day, and Brock asked
her what she had on underneath them. Knoop told him that she was wearing “a thong” and then
Brock grabbed the back of her overalls, as if he were trying to look down them. Knoop immediately
pulled away. Knoop alleges that this incident took place in front of a UPS supervisor named Dave
Roller.
       UPS hired Sandra Clark in 1993. In August 1999, Clark was promoted to the position of
administrative assistant in the Claims Department. Clark alleges several instances of inappropriate
behavior by Brock, including:
       1. In 1999, at a UPS luncheon, Brock asked Clark if she wanted some chips and
       when she said yes, he


Brock that she needed to have a business meeting with him,
       and he responded by asking if she wanted to go somewhere private. After she said
       yes, he suggested the large storage closet by which they were standing.
       5. In April 2000, some members of the Claims Department, including Clark, were
       moved to a new location. When Brock and the remaining members were later
       relocated there, he brushed his shoulder against hers and said “[t]his is the first time
       we’ve been alone since you guys moved here.”
     as he passed her in the hall.
       9. In 2001, Clark noticed that Brock was staring at her when she was standing at a
       printer by his office and she said, “What are you looking at?” He responded, “I was
       just enjoying the view.”
       10. Several times as Clark was leaving work for the day, Brock would hold out his
       hand as if he were going to give her an innocent “high-five,” but on some occasions,
       instead of merely completing the gesture, he would grab her palm and scratch it with


agree. Knoop alleged only
three relatively isolated incidents over a period of approximately two and a half years. Knoop
claims that Brock told vulgar jokes, that he twice placed his vibrating pager on her thigh as he
passed her in the hall, and most significantly, he pulled at her overalls after she told him she was
wearing a thong. While there is no bright line rule as to what constitutes a hostile work
environment, the plaintiff’s allegations must depict conduct that could be construed as pervasive
enough to alter the conditions of her employment and to create an abusive situation. When Knoop’s
allegations are compared to other cases where the plaintiff showed the existence of a hostile
workplace, it becomes clear that she has not made a prima facie showing of a hostile work
environment. In EEOCGoogle mulls Assistant shopping in war with Alexa

With a gaggle of onlookers, teenagers ďSky Commander WinkyĒ and ďCapín DareĒ are videotaping their latest stunts for the cable access ďDumb AssĒ show. Capín Dare (otherwise known as Bill) slips on a helmet, as Winky (David Winkle) pelts him with balls from a pitching machine. Capín Dareís girlfriend, Natalie Gordon, watches unhappily. So does another boy, Dylan Lokensgard. The boys move on to their next feat, and Capín Dare sits inside a portable toilet that is pulled by a car across a parking lot at a high speed. The car skids to a stop, and Capín Dare and the toilet roll down an embankment. Capín Dare emerges unharmed, and the crowd laughs. Natalie is again, not amused. They move onto their third stunt, where Capín Dare willroll down a hill in a shopping cart, onto a ramp that will sail him over Natalie, who waits on the ground. When the stunt goes awry, Capín Dare is thrown to the ground. Natalie and Winky are horrified to see that Capín Dareís head has collapsed inside his undamaged helmet.

Doggett and Reyes arrive at the Medical Examinerís Office in Ocean County, New Jersey. Dr. Fountain has requested help because he is unable to explain Billís cause of death. Suddenly, the corpseís eyelid flutters. Reyes gently opens the eye with forceps, revealing a hollow socket from which a swarm of flies emerge. They immediately call Scully in to make an assessment, and she concludes that the flies fed at such a furious rate that it caused the boyís


head to collapse from within. The helmet actually protected his head in the crash. Yet Scully pronounces that no fly would act so aggressively. Dr. Rocky Bronzino, an entomologist who appears in the doorway, quickly refutes her conclusion. He informs the agents that the Australian bush fly and the New Zealand screwworm fly are both aggressive insects. However, these varieties are not the flies that apparently killed Bill. Reyes says that they are not investigating a murder by an insect, but a human.

At Garfield High School in nearby Manahawkin, New Jersey, Natalie sits in the cafeteria, saddened by her boyfriendís death. Dylan watches her from afar, as Winky approaches Natalie with a camera. He wants her to speak on the ďCapín Dare Memorial Video,Ē but she refuses, blaminghim for making Bill do the stunts. Winky notices that Dylan has stood up to defend Natalie. He threatens Dylan, and spreads food on his head. Dylanís mother, an Administrator at the school, sees this and summons Winky to her office. Waiting for him are Reyes and Doggett, who believe that Winky may have killed his friend in order to sell the video to television networks. Winky denies the claim, and jumps out of his chair while violently scratching his back. Reyes and Doggett see that on his back is written DUMB ASS in red, bloody welts.

Dylan returns home, ignoring his mother to retreat to his bedroom. He lies on his bed, listening to Syd Barrett and looking longingly at a picture of Natalie. Mrs. Lokensgard knocks on


his locked door, which makes him only raise his music louder. As he shuts his eyes to cry, bugs swarm over his window and begin to fill up his room.

The next morning, Dr. Bronzino informs the agents that the flies that ate Billís brain and skull happened to all be female. This suggests that something chemical or hormonal might have triggered the attack. Yet since lice had also caused Winkyís wounds, they wonder whether someone was somehow directing the bugs to act. They decide to question Dylan Lokensgard, who was present for every stunt and had a run-in with Winky just before the lice injured his back.

Dylan sees Natalie leave his front door. He rushes out the window, but his mother intercepts him and warns Dylan to stayaway from Natalie. She tries to talk to him about the changes his body is going through, but Dylan brushes her off and heads for school. Meanwhile, Dr. Bronzino and Scully revisit the scene of Capín Dareís death, tracking the atmosphere with an electroantennogram device. While not-so-subtly hitting on Scully, Bronzino surmises that the bugs are somehow being driven crazy with desire. Suddenly, the deviceís signal loudly blares. They donít see Dylan, the cause of the deviceís alarm, peddling past them on his bike. Dylan finds Natalie at school, and she apologizes for Winkyís behavior in the cafeteria the day before. They reminisce about their childhood. Feeling uncomfortable, Natalie leaves abruptly. Reyes and Doggett accost Dylan, and question him in his motherís office. They show him the ďDumb


Dylan is using the bugs to act out against anyone who might harm Natalie. Later that night, Dylan is surprised to see Natalie climb up to his bedroom window. She hasnít been there since they were in the fourth grade. She apologizes for not being a friend to him over the years, realizing only now how important he really is to her. He is ecstatic that his dream girl has opened her heart to him. They kiss, but she pulls away when Dylanís tongue causes her mouth to bleed. Natalie cries and quickly leaves, as Dylan tries to explain. He runs after her into the street, when another car stops behind him. It is Winky with a group of friends, who capture Dylan. They ask how he killedCapín Dare. Dylan responds angrily, ďI just have to open my mouth.Ē And when he does, a set of bug mandibles appears between his lips, spraying an opaque mist. The car loses control, turning upside down before it rolls to a stop.

Doggett and Reyes come upon the car wreck, where Winky and his friends are stuck under a thick spider web. He tells them that Dylan is the one responsible, and that he chewed his way out the back window. Reyes finds Natalie at home, curled up on her bed and crying. Reyes asks Natalie to talk to Dylan and convince him not to hurt anyone else. Yet Dylan is already standing in Natalieís bedroom. At the Lokensgard home, Scully and Dr. Bronzino arrive to question Dylan, but


the house is empty and dark. They enter through the open front door, and Bronzino finds high readings of pheromone levels. After Scully leaves to join Doggett at the crime scene, Bronzino continues to scan the Lokensgard home with his electroantennogram. Mrs. Lokensgard surprises him, and she shoots a stream of webbing at Bronzino from the insect mandibles in her mouth. Dylan returns to his house with Natalie, and Mrs. Lokensgard confronts her son. He is upset when she tells him that he is not like the other kids and never will be.

Doggett arrives at Natalieís to find Reyes completely wrapped in layers of webbing, barely able to breathe. She tells Doggett that Dylan took Natalie to his house, which is where Scully is headed when she lostcontact with Dr. Bronzino. Scully creeps in the Lokensgard home and sees Natalie sobbing. Scully cautiously goes into the attic with her weapon ready. Her flashlight beam locates a cocoon, from which comes the voice of Dr. Bronzino. Scully frees him. Paramedics arrive soon after, followed by Doggett and Reyes.

The agents discover that the other cocoon in the attic was a crude coffin for four bodies, one of whom was Dylanís father, long reported missing. Mrs. Lokensgard had killed her husband for not being what she and Dylan were -- neither human nor insect, but an anomaly in between. Although Dylan had tried to fit in with his peers and was in love with Natalie, he could not hide from his true nature. Mrs. Lokensgard escapes with her

(Queen Latifah) explains to Simone (Brittany O’Grady) that she remembers playing a club date in Los Angeles in the midst of the Watts rioting, back in the day when she was a singer with Star and Simone’s mother, and doesn’t want the girls around a demonstration. She presciently says they always start out peacefully and end in violence. But Pastor Bobby (Tyrese Gibson) convinces Carlotta that going to the demonstration and supporting the girls as they sing is the right thing to do.

The rally is held and Derek asks his girlfriend, Alexandra (Ryan Destiny), to sing to lift the spirits of the protesters. She insists on having the other girls in the group sing with her. After the performance, the Atlanta Police Chief makes a televised statement andis EXACTLY Black Lives Matter, as evidenced by the rioting and violence across the country the last few years at their events.

The final scene shows Alexandra driving to get Derek out of jail. She is pulled over by the police – naturally. When asked for registration and proof of insurance, she cops an attitude and says she doesn’t have it with her. When she is asked to step out of the car she continues with the attitude and asks why. She tells the officer she knows her rights as he roughly throws her up against her car. See what they did? It was made to look like the cop was mistreating Alexandra even though she was less than cooperative.

It is hard to feel sympathy toward an unsympathetic character.


The City of Chicago wants "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett to cough up $130,000 for wasted city resources stemming from the fake hate crime he orchestrated earlier this year.

Smollett had told Chicago police he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack in January. In reality, Smollett allegedly hired two brothers to pretend to attack him. The reason? He was unhappy with his pay for appearing in "Empire."

“On January 29, 2019, Defendant submitted a false police report claiming that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic beating by unknown attackers," the lawsuit states. "In reality, Defendant knew his attackers and orchestrated the purported attack himself. Later, when police confronted him with evidence about his attackers, he still refused to disclose his involvement in planning the attack."

the tunnel, he observed the congested traffic, applied his brakes, and stopped his vehicle a safe distance behind the car preceding him. Four vehicles, in turn, stopped behind plaintiff.
Eugene Watson, driving a cement truck belonging to his employer Porche Brothers Lumber and Supply, Inc., proceeded into the tunnel, failed to stop, and collided into the rear of the last vehicle. This collision caused a chain reaction and propelled a vehicle owned by Tennessee Gas and Pipeline and operated by Charles Smith into plaintiff's vehicle. As a result of this collision, plaintiff sustained injuries.
On February 23, 1984, plaintiff filed suit against Porche Brothers Lumber and Supply, Inc. (Porche Brothers), Transportation Insurance Company (Transportation Insurance), and Eugene Watson. The defendants filed third party demands against the Terrebonne Parish School BoardDefendants further contend that because plaintiff was examined by Dr. Rhymes on May 16, 1984, and because plaintiff failed to call Dr. Rhymes to testify, defendants are entitled to the presumption that Dr. Rhymes would have testified adversely to plaintiff.
At the time of the accident, plaintiff was employed as a welder by Raymond Fabricators. He was thirty years old and had been employed as a welder for the preceding eleven years.
The day following the accident, plaintiff was treated for pain in his neck, back, and shoulders by his family physician Dr. Leslie Walker. Dr. Walker performed x-rays and treated plaintiff conservatively for approximately one month, prescribing muscle relaxers, pain pills, and a neck brace.
Thereafter, on September 22, 1983, plaintiff was referred to Dr. Christopher E. Cenac, an orthopedic


surgeon. Dr. Cenac's initial examination revealed objective evidence of muscle spasm in both the cervical and lumbar musclature and limitation of motion in lateral rotation in the cervical region and forward flexion in the lumbar region. The neurological and x-ray examinations, however, were normal. Dr. Cenac initially diagnosed acute cervical and lumbar soft tissue injury, namely cervical and lumbar strain.
Plaintiff was re-examined by Dr. Cenac on October 24, 1983, with complaints of persistent cervical pain, but diminished lumbar pain. On October 30, 1983, plaintiff was admitted to Terrebonne General Medical Center for a series of in-house studies, consisting of a CT scan of the cervical spine and a cervical and lumbar *415 myelogram. The results of both the CT scan and myelogram were normal. Plaintiff was discharged fromTerrebonne General on November 10, 1983.
Plaintiff also saw Dr. Cenac on November 30, December 19, 1983, January 24, March 19, and March 26, 1984. On March 22, 1984, plaintiff underwent a bone scan at Terrebonne General, the results of which were normal. Dr. Cenac re-examined plaintiff again on April 25, May 16, July 12, and August 13, 1984.
On May 16, 1984, plaintiff was seen by Dr. Rhymes at the request of his employer, Raymond Fabricators.
Plaintiff was also referred to Dr. Hyman Robert Soboloff, another orthopedic surgeon, who examined plaintiff on July 31, 1984. Dr. Soboloff examined plaintiff and determined that plaintiff had no residual injury in the neck and back and that plaintiff was capable of returning to work at that time.
Dr. Cenac continued to see plaintiff on

When Leethal the Poet was ready to announce the final track off her album ...Well Damn at a recent listening party, Stacey Reynolds left the room.
The producer and musician behind the new work, known as Volume Speaks, prefers not to be the center of attention. It’s an ironic fact about Reynolds, considering that Volume truly lives up to her name. She produced about 98 percent of Leethal's album, and its release was an accomplishment that followed Reynolds’ journey to becoming one of the most exciting female producers on the scene.

Her background as a musician — a saxophonist, primarily, though she’s skilled with other instruments as well — made her interest in producing come naturally. While attending Lindenwood


beat battle Fresh Produce, quickly making a name for herself.

Fresh Produce is a night made for producers. It’s the one night of the month that the local creative scene looks forward to watching talented beatmakers from around the city as well as out of town go head to head. It’s also an opportunity for artists to network and take note of who they need to make connections with.

Volume Speaks is one of the few women most respected in that realm. When she stepped on stage in January as a wildcard competitor, the audience already knew to expect some of the toughest and best sounds. The beats she showcased were a testament to the amount of hours Reynolds puts into them. She has an endless Rolodex of sound —complexity. It’s funny, because she says she has a hard time describing exactly what her style or sound is. She does, however, draw plenty of inspiration from her love of gaming, and the music in some of her favorite games from her childhood.

“I would describe my sound as a video game sound,” she says. “Some of it comes from the stuff I grew up listening to, and some of it comes from me being a gamer girl, too.”

Her aptitude for creating a unique sound has taken Calhoun outside St. Louis, namely Atlanta, where she was able to showcase her work in last year’s AC3 Festival. It was an opportunity that came as a surprise for the producer and engineer, who says she never thought she’d get the chance

The peculiar traits of great Amazon leaders: Frugal, innovative and body odor that doesn’t smell like perfume

Amazon.com senior vice president Jeff Wilke speaking at Seattle University

Students and faculty at Seattle University got a rare glimpse inside the world of Amazon.com on Tuesday night as Jeff Wilke — the senior vice president of consumer business — took to the stage as part of the Albers Executive Speaker Series.

In an entertaining and informative hour-long talk, Wilke — a chemical engineer who moved his young family to Seattle in 1999 to join Amazon — laid out the core leadership principles that make up the often misunderstood tech and online retailing juggernaut.

The fact that Wilke was on stage talking at all was peculiar enough, given the low-profile nature of the executive managementDonald Trump has appointed the former president of a leading anti-abortion group to the top communications role at the Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS).

Charmaine Yoest, who for several years was head of Americans United for Life (AUL), will be HHS assistant secretary for public affairs. AUL played an instrumental role in the recent wave of anti-abortion laws by feeding model legislation to state lawmakers.

Under Yoest, the group pushed model bills that outlawed abortion after 20 weeks, required abortion providers to gain admitting privileges at local hospitals, and mandated counseling and waiting periods for women seeking abortions. AUL is also opposed to the use of the morning-after pill and IUDs.

Between 2010 and 2016, states have enacted 288 restrictions on abortion. The AUL directly credits its own work


ON the surface the production that commandeered a few dormant rooms at the Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital on Roosevelt Island this year resembled many other low-budget film projects in New York City. Crew members were each handling multiple jobs. Those from out of town were spending their short nights on friends’ couches. The catering consisted of a box of Dunkin’ Donuts and a carton of coffee, both empty by late morning.

But despite the production’s humble appearance there was a lot riding on it. Its director and producer, Tony Abulu, and his financial backers say the film, “Doctor Bello,” has the potential to chart a new direction for the booming Nigerian film industry half a world away.

That industry, known as Nollywood, is perhaps the world’s third-largest filmmaking industry in revenues,Gift Wrapped (film)

Gift Wrapped is a 1952 Warner Bros.  Looney Tunes animated cartoon directed by Friz Freleng (credited as I. Freleng), originally released on February 16, 1952. It was later reissued by Warner Bros. under the "Blue Ribbon" Merrie Melodies series in 1960.

Plot
Sylvester awakes on Christmas morning to find presents under the tree, but is disappointed when his gift is just a rubber mouse. When he hears singing coming from what appears to be a gift-wrapped birdcage and sees that it is labeled for Granny, he looks inside and sees Tweety.

He switches the tags. Granny gives the cage to Sylvester and opens the box with the rubber mouse. Believing it to be a mix-up, she goes to give Sylvester his box and correct the mistake, but once


Wildlife A most unusual sanctuary, where the Yeti roams free

The Kingdom of Bhutan, a tiny Buddhist country nestled in the Himalayas between India and Tibet, sounds like an enchanting place. People who’ve traveled there describe snow-capped peaks, lush valleys and ancient monasteries. The country is known for its progressive environmental laws, and is sometimes even called "the last Shangri-la" for its unspoiled natural environment.

Recently, I learned an odd detail about Bhutan’s approach to conservation, something that might sound preposterous here in the American West. World Wildlife Fund’s Bhutan program has received a $700,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation to help the Bhutanese government upgrade management of the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary, the country’s newest protected area.

Temperate forests of eastern blue pine and rhododendrons cover this 253-square-mile sanctuary. "Sakteng isand is being held without bail.

This arrest comes on the heels of Bilzerian recently making headlines for allegedly kicking model Vanessa Castano in the face at LIV nightclub in Miami Beach, reports TMZ. He was banned from the club and she has since filed a police report. Nik Richie, the founder of a website called TheDirty.com, posted an Instagram video that night, with the caption:

Decrease in PtO2 was found in the condition of less severe coronary constriction and to be greater in inner layer than in outer layer of the myocardium. In terms of the changes in PtCO2, inner layer was also more susceptible to the ischemic stimuli than outer layer. The greater and earlier elevation of PtCO2 in inner layer than in outer layer is regarded as one of the possible mechanisms of the reduction of myocardial contraction in the early stage of myocardial ischemia.

About

FK Aktobe was founded as a professional team in 1967, although its roots can be traced back to the 1930s. Originally known as Aktyubinets, over the years, the team have competed in both the Soviet and Kazakh league systems. Since the formation of the Kazakhstan Premier League in 1992, they have emerged as one of the country's most successful teams, winning a number of domestic honours. The club are nicknamed 'The Red-Whites', which is a reference to the colours that traditionallymake up their strip.

During the Soviet era, the team failed to make a significant impact and spent much of their time in the lower divisions of the league system. In total, they finished as zonal winners of the country's third tier, the Soviet Second League, twice.

However, since Kazakhstan gained independence from the Soviet Union, Aktobe have enjoyed far greater prominence. Although their early years in the Premier League were difficult, since the turn of the millennium, the team have achieved great success. In total, they have been crowned as the country's league champions on five occasions, with those wins coming in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013. Additional success has come in the Kazakhstan Cup, which they lifted in 2008, and the Kazakhstan Super Cup, which they picked


up in 2008 and 2010. As a result of their domestic achievements, Aktobe have played in both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.

Amongst the most notable players to have played for the side are Andrei Miroshnichenko, who was a prolific goalscorer during the 1990s, and Serghei Rogaciov, who achieved success with the team in the 2000s.

Aktobe's home games are played at Central Stadium, which opened in 1975. The venue underwent a renovations process in 2000 and is now one of the best-attended stadiums in the country.

After a long day of skiing Whistler Blackcomb, the scene of large snowflakes drifting down to the pools billowing with steam seems far more inviting than a crowded, raucous bar.

Telegraph.co.uk unveils the last installment of its list of the 50 most
influential political pundits in America. With just over six months before
United States citizens choose their 44th president, the 2008 election is
already proving to be the most fascinating and potentially one of the
closest contests in living memory.

Everything in Halperin’s career has been a success, from founding ABC’s Note – the must read of the 2004 campaign - to his current “the Page” on Time.com, via the widely read The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008 with John Harris.

What distinguishes his reported blog and his commentary is the access to highly placed sources and the leaks they provide him. As a ubiquitous TV analyst his views will be carefully listened


to during the rest of the campaign. His on-line network news summaries, campaign events lists and his pithy, sometimes unvarnished (he apologised this year for revealing that John Edwards thought that Barack Obama was “kind of a pussy”) analysis make him a first stop for political reporters and campaign junkies.

9. DAVID BROOKS

The moderate conservative New York Times columnist’s changing reactions to Barack Obama have been one step ahead of the pack during the extended primary season. A regular on the highbrow The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. He initially overcame doubts to swoon over the Illinois senator, in part because of a shared admiration for the philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr.

By 2008, he was the first commentator to declare his discomfort with at the cult-like atmosphere at Obama rallies,a view that then became an everyday part of the media discussion. A long-time admirer of John McCain who still holds affection for Obama, he could be a political weathervane in the general election.

8. JON STEWART

The liberal host of the Daily Show on Comedy Central mixes comedy and political satire, but it is his serious moments that have carried him into the realm of punditry. A frequent of critic of George W Bush, he also embarrassed his friend John McCain for speaking at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, having previously denounced the preacher and his ilk as “agents of intolerance”. McCain was forced to concede that he was descending into the “crazy base world” of politics.

His show gets more serious as it endures, with guests such as Howard Dean


and Harry Reid in the space of a week. A relentless critic of combative pundits, he is widely judged to have humiliated Tucker Carlson, formerly of CNN and MSNBC, and Chris Matthews during on-air jousts.

7. TIM RUSSERT

Mario Cuomo, writing in Time when it placed Russert 72nd among the 100 most influential people in the world, called him “among the most astute, discerning and relentless pursuers of truth in the nation”. His probing questions have the ability to alter the course of a campaign.

This was best demonstrated when he picked up Hillary Clinton’s hesitation over driving licences for illegal immigrants at a debate in October 2007 and didn’t relent until she was thoroughly embarrassed. It was the first chink in her armour of “inevitability”. With four million viewers everycan be explosive. Hillary Clinton has tried to woo him. If John McCain or Barack Obama can win him over between now and November it could be worth several percentage points in the polls.

5. JOHN HARRIS AND JIM VANDEHEI

Founders of Politico.com, the website that has revolutionised US election coverage. Formerly political editor and political correspondent of the Washington Post, the pair have overseen a stunningly successful and ground-breaking multi-media venture, nurturing established talents such as columnist Roger Simon and correspondents Mike Allen and Jeanne Cummings as well as new ones like bloggers Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin and video prodigy James Kotecki.

Both assured television performers, Harris and VandeHei’s joint pieces helping establish major changes in the campaign narrative have earned them the soubriquet VandeHarris. Harris co-authored the highly


influential “The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008”. Post-election, look for Politico to do with reporting the White House what they have with campaign coverage.

4. RUSH LIMBAUGH

The undisputed king of talk radio, Limbaugh invigorates and enrages in equal measure. A standard bearer of the conservative movement, he was bitterly disappointed with the choice of John McCain as Republican nominee, and declared he might withdraw support from his party, saying “I would just as soon the Democrats take the hit”.

Since then, he has concentrated on his “Operation Chaos” – urging Republicans voters to support Hillary Clinton so the Democratic nomination race will be prolonged and Barack Obama discredited. John McCain has declared: “I don’t listen to him.” But thousands of the voters he needs in NovemberCommunity Bank of Florida is pleased to celebrate James Chung’s 10th Anniversary as a member of the Financial Family.

People believed her. But then, apparently, she trusted one of her three closest SpADs to write the party manifesto; and everything began to unwind!

So here we are with peculiarly mixed polling data, some of it still pointing to a May majority of anything up to 100, some showing her only 1% ahead of Labour, facing the prospect of being returned to a Westminster with a majority even smaller than the present 12, or even a hung parliament.

I participated in the Victory Day march in St. Petersburg. The one in Moscow gets all the press, but the one in


St. Petersburg is almost as big.

These marches all have a volunteer portion to them now as well. They call it the Immortal Brigade. Literally millions of Russians show up with photos of their grandparents and great-grandparents that fought in the war and march down the main street. It is a huge part of the Russian government’s program to revive civic nationalism in Russia. The great victory against all odds in World War 2, the Orthodox faith and the sports program are 3 of the main columns of the program to revive civic pride that the Kremlin is pursuing. Naturally, this march is a big deal. It became an even bigger deal after the events in Crimea as the lackluster parade suddenly became a massive civic phenomenon. Overnight, thedeployed as liberalism against the native national concept of Britain, imperviously forcing a reaction - Thatcher, whose Jewish objectivism acted further as a blunt instrument against the native nationalist union.

Anders Breivik

Where younger generations don’t stay on page with the memo of the one unionized native nation to remain of international leftism, but maintain absolute liberalism against all native nationalisms - as the participants of a Workers’ Youth League (AUF) summer camp on the island of Utøya did in their protest against Zionism - then a Zionist Breivik may be coddled to act through the available valves of ethnocentrically sanctioned aggression, that which is allowed by Jewish controlled discourse - coddled as such in his LARP to murder 77 kids in a misguided right wing reaction of nativist nationalism


- Jewish interests want White nationalists to be didactic right wing reactionaries and to not be White Left Ethno-Nationalists.

Scargill more recently, still wears the red tie, but…

Coming back to the issue of Scargill, however, I thought he was going to more easily fit into the mold of a liberal, anti-racist, anti-native nationalist rat, masquerading as one concerned with unions and workers. Indeed, from what I know, admittedly not much, as I have not followed this history of British unions and their conflicts through the post World War II years, he perhaps still belongs in that category. There is evidence that he does, that he genuinely could have been a significant threat to the national interests, native and otherwise, of Britain and other European nations:

Scargill joined the Young CommunistLeague in 1955, becoming its Yorkshire District Chair in 1956 and shortly after a member of its National Executive Committee.[4] In 1957 he was elected NUM Yorkshire Area Youth Delegate, and attended the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow as a representative of the Yorkshire miners. In 1958, he attended the World Federation of Trade Unions youth congress in Prague.

[...]

National Union of Mineworkers

Scargill was a leader of the unofficial strike in 1969, which began in Yorkshire and spread across the country.[6] He had challenged Sam Bullogh, the chair of the Yorkshire area’s NUM, to act on the working hours of surface workers, given that the union’s conference had passed a resolution that their hours be shortened the previous year.[6] When Bullogh (unwell at the time)


attempted to rule Scargill as “out of order”, he was voted out by the area’s delegates and a strike was declared across Yorkshire on the issue.[6] Scargill saw this strike as a turning point in the union’s attitude to militancy.[7]

His major innovation was organizing “flying pickets” involving hundreds or thousands of committed strikers who could be bussed to critical strike points to shut down a target. He gained fame for using the tactic to win the Battle of Saltley Gate in 1972, and made it his main tactical device in the 1984 strike. By 1984 however the police were ready and neutralized the tactic with superior force.

In 1973, Scargill was elected to the full-time post of compensation agent in the Yorkshire NUM. (The Yorkshire Left had already decidedto stand him as their candidate even before the strike.) Scargill won widespread applause for his response to the disaster at Lofthouse Colliery in Outwood, West Yorkshire, at which he accompanied the rescue teams underground and was on site for six days with the relatives of the ten deceased.[6] At the subsequent enquiry, he used notebooks of underground working from the 19th century, retrieved from the Institute of Geological Sciences in Leeds, to argue that the National Coal Board could have prevented the disaster had they acted on the information available.[6] This performance strengthened his popularity with the Yorkshire miners.[6][8]

A few months later the president of the Yorkshire NUM died unexpectedly, and Scargill won the election for his replacement, the two posts were then combined and he held


them until 1981. During this time he earned the esteem of significant sections of the left and the British working class, who saw him as honest, hard-working and genuinely concerned with their welfare,[9] and he was also respected for improving the administration of the compensation agent’s post. In 1974, he was instrumental in organising the miners’ strike that led Edward Heath to call a February general election.

[...]

Scargill’s statements in the years after becoming NUM president divided left-wing opinion with his support of Soviet Communism, most notably when he refused to support the TUC’s positions on the Solidarity union in Poland or on the Soviet shooting of the Korean Air Lines Flight 007.[13] One branch of the NUM, at Amnesley in Nottinghamshire, put forward a vote of no confidenceby geopolitical forces trying to put forth Jewish/Zionist internationalism on the one hand and neo-liberalism on the other - both converging at a prescription of liberalism for native European nationalists; and since both sides are controlled by Jews and right wing objectivists, neither side wants anything like the unionization, the syndicalism of left nationalism for native Europeans and White diaspora as it would threaten their interests.

The concern now, of course, is that he is being used again by forces of neo-liberalism to placate naive native workers with promises of a place in obsolete production and protectionism in order to allow the YKW, Zionists and their Russian and American proxies to control the international market and labor - particularly Asia, as its rising interests would have little common ground


she broke a 35-year run of failures by the governing party to win an opposition seat at a by-election. She has defeated the Remain opposition in the Commons and the Lords. She sits opposite the most ineffective leader of the opposition ever, and certainly the leader she wants to see across the Dispatch Box. In fact, Tom Watson aside, there is no competent politician on the Labour benches, and an awful lot of highly incompetent ones. The Party is at war with itself. Momentum, which campaigns within the party to make it safe for the hard left, is intent on killing off Blairism (and good luck to it). In short, there is nothing to indicate that allowing this parliament to run its full course until May 2020 wouldthe financial support to do so.

Anyway, there will now be weeks of speculation about all this, since the usual reportage of who will win the election is perfectly pointless.

For one salient matter, The Silk Road runs through Iran, which will increase its liberalization and business power in opposition to Israeli control of the region - its greater Israel project.

This would also hurt Israel’s first fall back position and assets in the Russian Federation, as it would lower oil prices and thus effect the primary bargaining chip at their parasitic disposal.

Mossad asset Donald Trump - you may as well put an Israeli flag on him too, as he has rendered the US Presidency fully a Mossad asset now - leading the charge on Israel’s behalf, his cabinet filled with


Union, England, the United States, and eventually to take back continental Europe and to beat back a barbaric empire in the Far East.”

He is no opposition, he represents the Paleocon voice of “restraint”, preening the narrative for shabbos goy, providing speed bumps to help the likes of Kushner to realize when he might be going too fast to get the shabbos goyim more fully on board with an Israeli view.

The train, also referred to as Silk Road train, has passed through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to Iran, travelling a distance of 10,399 kilometers. [...]

The travel of cargo train from China to Iran is part of a Chinese initiative to revive the ancient Silk Road used by the traders to commute between Europe and East Asia.

If you are reading this article, you doubtless are already
aware of the events that transpired early this morning. The
United States has unilaterally conducted an airstrike against a Syrian
airbase. There are even rumours right now of a second airstrike being
prepared.

What we know so far:

The airstrikes targeted the Shayrat airbase near Homs. The
United States has said this is the location from which Syrian forces
allegedly launched a sarin nerve gas attack on the rebel-held town of
Khan Sheikhun on Tuesday morning.

The Pentagon said 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were
launched from the warships USS Ross and USS Porter in the eastern
Mediterranean sea in the early hours of Friday morning. The strike had
a 39% hit rate against the airfield.

led to the position of the Syrian government being any safer. In fact,
it is precisely because the United States and the Russian Federation
have been on good terms since Trump’s inauguration, that the
probability of what has now transpired, happening, had increased.

A scenario in which the United States and Russia arrive at an
agreement in which both countries have their geostrategic interests
met, is a scenario in which Russia would probably turn against Bashar
Al-Assad. With Trump in office, the chances of such a scenario
manifesting are actually increased, because Trump has not until today
presented himself as an opponent of Russia on anything, to say the
least. The chances of them being able to ‘do a deal’, is greater.
Russia has specific interests inA young pharmacist killed herself during a romantic holiday with her boyfriend in Tenerife, an inquest heard.

Victoria Smith said she would meet her boyfriend for dinner before being found hanged from a stone jetty on the Spanish island in March last year.

Ms Smith, from Leyland in Lancashire, suffered from depression and had complained of having “the world on her shoulders”.

She had also just sold her horse to purchase a house and settle down with her boyfriend Matt Arkwright.

The inquest heard that Ms Smith was unhappy at work and had been due to start a new job.

She was last seen alive by Mr Arkwright reading by the pool of their hotel and saying she would meet him for dinner.

At an inquest in Preston, coroner James Newman recorded a conclusion


of suicide but said: “Victoria was a young woman who evidently had all of her life in front of her and every opportunity to make a wonderful life.

“She had episodes of feeling down and had been prescribed anti-depressants - but she seemed to have been excited by her new home.

“She wanted to change jobs as it was not to her satisfaction but she had been about to start a new job in April. Her future appeared to have been incredibly bright.

''Mental illness is one of the greatest demons of our time and it is tragic that Victoria had periods of lows but she was being medicated and it seemed to be working.

“It is such a waste of a very young and promising life.''

She had just sold her horseto buy a house with her boyfriend Matt Arkwright (Cavendish Press ) (Cavendish Press)

The hearing was told Miss Smith was a ''bright and bubbly'' young woman but who had ‘'ups and downs” over the years and had been put on anti-depressants.

She had previously moved to Wales to work on a farm and moved back to Preston to get a job at a pharmacy in Ashton-on-Ribble. But she found dealing with customers difficult and accepted another job at the Royal Preston Hospital.

In a statement Miss Smith's father Alan Smith, 62, and mother Linda Smith, 59, said: “There were a couple of things that she felt weren’t going right. She went to the GP and was prescribed Fluoxetine.

“The job in Wales was not what she expected so she came back


family over. She was looking forward to having a BBQ in the new house. Our relationship was strong and happy.

“In February 2016 she sold her horse, and when that happened she was clearly depressed and it was a sad experience for her.

“I thought that was normal because she was getting rid of something that had been in her life for such a long time.

“She was selling it because she wanted to move on with her life and become a homeowner.

“I knew she was on her medication. In February this year she was feeling very down about her job, and she knew it wasn’t quite right for her.

“She took the job at the hospital and she was looking forward to it and thinking of it as a career opportunity.

“Shortlybefore we went away, we had been out with friends and normally she was loud and engaging but she was quiet and withdrawn.

“We had a private chat and she felt as though she had the world on her shoulders. She was anxious that they would have to sell the house, thought she was letting me down and wanted to go to university to do veterinary studies.

“The next day she felt embarrassed about it. We went on holiday on the 21 March, we went out to markets and things and she was her normal self until the 28th when we were supposed to leave.

“She was very quiet, and she said she just wanted to sit by the pool and read. I asked her if she wanted to go for


dinner and she said no but that I could go without her.

“I waited for her but it got to the stage where we had to sort things for when we were leaving, so I left at about 6.30pm and she said she was right behind me. It was the last I saw of her.”

The hearing was told the stone jetty where Miss Smith was found, was a spot the couple had visited during their holiday.

At the time of the tragedy Miss Smith's family said her death had come as a “monumental shock to all who knew her”.most out of your investment in the cost of being at ILTACon. Oh and have fun, too.

Rapid technological advances in genetic analysis have revealed the genetic background of various diseases. Elucidation of the genes responsible for a disease enables better clinical management of the disease and helps to develop targeted drugs. Also, early diagnosis and management of at-risk family members can be made by identification of a genetic disease in the proband. On the other hand, genetic issues often cause psychological distress to the family. To perform genetic testing appropriately and to protect patients and family members from any harm, guidelines for genetic testing were released from the alliance of Japanese genetics-related academic societies in 2003. As genetic testing is becoming incorporated into clinical practice more broadly, the guideline was revised and released by the Japanese Society of Medical Sciences

Muru Crepe

I really like this moustache because of Mr.Pringles:)

The other day my friend and I went to one of my favorite brunch places called Muru Crepe which is located in old Montreal. The decor of the restaurant is based on the vegetation color and there were many very large windows so the place was breathing with light, which made me very comfortable. I ordered a Madame muru crepe with bocconcini, tomato, pesto, almond, basil and olive in it. I could also opt for a salad or French fries or both. The crepe was so yummy and the fries were the best I ever had in Montreal( IRhode Island's Roman Catholic bishop held a day of prayer and penance on Friday to ask God's forgiveness for the sins of sexual abuse committed against children worldwide.

Diocese of Providence Bishop Thomas Tobin presided over a special Mass in Providence at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. Rhode Island is heavily Catholic.

During the homily, Tobin asked for forgiveness and for healing of all who have been wounded. Tobin said he wanted to address the abuse and cover-up scandal roiling the Catholic Church because he recognizes the anger, pain and confusion many Catholics are feeling.

"Our commitment to end the scourge of sexual abuse doesn't end with prayer, but it is important to begin here," Tobin said.

Tobin also fasted, which he said was in penance for his "faults and


failures as a Christian, priest and bishop" and for the "sins and failures" of priests and bishops related to the sexual abuse of minors.

Tobin has said that he was aware of incidents of sexual abuse reported to church officials while working in Pennsylvania, but that it wasn't his job to deal with them. He was auxiliary bishop of Pittsburgh from 1992 until 1996. A Pennsylvania grand jury report recently detailed decades of abuse and cover-up in six dioceses.

Lorraine Savard protested outside the Mass. The 69-year-old retired teacher took issue with the church asking for forgiveness.

"They're in there asking for forgiveness for something that's ongoing," she said. "Give me a break."

About 150 people attended the Mass. They prayed for abuse victims, for church leaders as they promote justice andfor Catholics whose faith has been shaken.

Afterward, parishioner Cindy Delle Donne said that the church's response is not enough for those directly affected by the scandal, but she personally felt it was important to attend the Mass.

"They're making an effort and I think that should be applauded," said Delle Donne, a 77-year-old retired nurse. "It is sad that it was allowed to go on for so long."

Dozens of parishioners remained in their pews after the Mass concluded to reflect and pray.


There was some question as to whether or not Bernie Sanders deserved credit for the spike. But it's worth remembering that Hillary Clinton won Iowa -- after finishing third eight years prior. A more liberal electorate, but one that rewarded Clinton with more of its votes.

As we noted at the time, there's another reason for the shift: Democrats have been describing themselves as liberal at increasing rates over the last two decades.

On Tuesday, Gallup released its latest numbers on how partisans see themselves. In 2008, only 36 percent of Democrats described themselves as liberal. In 2016, the figure jumped to 44 percent.

The result has been a narrowing in the advantage that "conservatives" have held in the population for some time. In 2009, 40 percent of Americans described themselvesas conservative to 21 percent who called themselves liberal, a 19-point spread. In the most recent poll, that number is down to 11 points.

There hasn't been much change in how Republicans see themselves. So as Democrats increasingly shed the label "moderate" -- and "conservative" -- the overall density of conservatives and moderates drops.

The biggest shifts among Democratic voters since 2001 have been among young voters, whites and those with college degrees.

Those groups do overlap with Sanders' base of support, of course. It's worth noting that the percentage of nonwhite Democrats who identify as liberal continues to trail the rest of the party. We looked at this in March, as Sanders continued to struggle to attract black voters to his candidacy. Data from the General Social Survey since 1976


Aronian Crashes Out In Kazan

There was high drama in Kazan today as the favourite for the event tumbled out, and another was quite possibly saved by a malfunctioning clock.

Aronian started badly against Grischuk, losing the first rapid game with the white pieces but he hit back immediately to level the scores in game two.

After a draw in the third game, Grischuk upset the odds in game four and broke Armenian hearts as the knocked the world's #3 rated player out of the Candidates.

Grischuk won the last tie-break game to knock out Aronian

Where did it all go wrong? Aronian crashes out of the Candidates

Even greater drama was to come in the other tie-break match, where Kramnik and Radjabov were still inseparable after drawing all four rapid tie-break games. Radjabovfinally broke the deadlock to win the first blitz game, meaning that Kramnik had to win the next game or be eliminated. After 60 moves of the second blitz game a draw seemed on the cards, but then something incredible happened - the electronic clock malfunctioned!

What happens now? Kramnik and Radjabov look to the arbiter for a decision

After a break of several minutes, during which time the problem was resolved, the players sat down again to resume the game and incredibly Kramnik found a way to win and stay in the match!

After this remarkable stroke of serendipity, Kramnik held his nerve to take the next two blitz games to qualify for the semi-finals.

[UPDATE: A translation of the post-game press conference by Kramnik and Radjabov is available at the excellent Chess In Translation website. It includes discussion of the malfunctioning clock incident. Thanks to mishanp in the comments!]

The players now have two days rest before the semi-final matches start on Thursday 12 May. Kamsky faces Gelfand, and Grischuk faces Kramnik. Games start at the usual time of 3pm in Kazan (11:00 UTC, 07:00 Eastern).

Live coverage and more is available at the official website, and live video of the playing hall is available here. Look out for announcements of more coverage here at Chess.com!

So we now know that the next challenger for Vishy Anand's world title will either be:

Two residents near the Fairhaven turbines are quoted, both of whom are reluctantly moving from their homes. One, who’s been sleeping in his living room because the noise in the bedroom keeps him awake, has found a buyer who’s paying just 7% below his asking price. The other, whose kids and their mom have already moved away because their 8-year old was having trouble sleeping, had his house on the market at a low-end price, and after “watching buyers come by, look at the turbines and drive away” for several months, he’s now hoping to find renters.

On June 9, 2008, 26 common dolphins, 21 of them infants, stranded and died in river estuaries around Falmouth Bay, as several days of Naval exercises involving over 30 ships wound down (see AIEnews coverage at the time). A four-year study (read it online) has concluded that unspecified Naval activities are “the most probable (but not definitive) cause” of the strandings, which involved at least 60 animals in all, with most of the adults re-floated and guided back to sea.

The study ruled out other common causes of cetacean strandings, including foraging for fish in shallows, attack by orcas, illness, algal toxins, recreational boats, and earthquakes. However, the researchers also could not identify a likely trigger among the Naval activities taking place on the morning of the strandingsMSE (Mass Stranding Event) and recommendations from the organisations involved in the rescue of dolphins in the MSE, the UK Ministry of Defence initiated the Marine Underwater Sound Stakeholders Forum in the UK to regularly meet with all interested stakeholders (scientists, other Government Departments like Defra and a range of non-Governmental organisations) to discuss these issues in some detail. A direct line of communication was also established after the Falmouth MSE to facilitate rapid exchange of information between cetacean strandings/sightings organisations and Royal Navy Naval Command Headquarters to report groups of pelagic cetaceans seen unusually close to shore and potentially at increased risk of stranding. This was used to report a near-MSE of over 20 common dolphins in the Fal estuary in April 2009 that was seen 15


The Virginia Tech shooting (also known as the Virginia Tech massacre) was a school shooting that took place on April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks, approximately two hours apart, before committing suicide (another six people were injured escaping from classroom windows).[6]:92[7][8]:78 The attack is the deadliest shooting incident by a single gunman in U.S. history and one of the deadliest by a single gunman worldwide.[9]

The attacks received international media coverage and speculation.[10] It sparked intense debate about gun violence, gun laws, gaps in the U.S. system for treating mental health issues, the perpetrator's state of mind,the responsibility of college administrations,[11] privacy laws, journalism ethics, and other issues. Television news organizations that aired portions of the killer's multimedia manifesto were criticized by victims' families, Virginia law enforcement officials, and the American Psychiatric Association.[12][13]

Cho had previously been diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder. During much of his middle school and high school years, he received therapy and special education support. After graduating from high school, Cho enrolled at Virginia Tech. Because of federal privacy laws, Virginia Tech was unaware of Cho's previous diagnosis or the accommodations he had been granted at school. In 2005, Cho was accused of stalking two female students.[14] After an investigation, a Virginia special justice declared Cho mentally ill and ordered him to attend treatment; however, because he was not institutionalized,


he was still allowed to purchase guns.[15] The shooting prompted the state of Virginia to close legal loopholes that had previously allowed individuals adjudicated as mentally unsound to purchase handguns without detection by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It also led to passage of the first major federal gun control measure in more than 13 years. The law strengthening the NICS was signed by President George W. Bush on January 5, 2008.[16]

The Virginia Tech Review Panel, a state-appointed body assigned to review the incident, criticized Virginia Tech administrators for failing to take action that might have reduced the number of casualties. The panel's report also reviewed gun laws and pointed out gaps in mental health care as well as privacy laws that left Cho's deterioratingcondition in college untreated.[8]:78[17]:2

The shootings occurred in separate incidents, with the first at West Ambler Johnston Hall, during which Seung-Hui Cho killed two pupils, and the second at Norris Hall, where the other 31 deaths, including that of Cho himself, as well as all the nonlethal injuries, occurred. Cho used two firearms during the attacks: a .22-caliberWalther P22semi-automatic handgun and a 9 mm semi-automatic Glock 19 handgun.[4]

Cho was seen near the entrance to West Ambler Johnston Hall, a co-edresidence hall that housed 895 students,[18] at about 6:47 a.m. EDT.[3]:25[4] Normally, the hall was accessible only to its residents via magnetic key cards before 10:00 a.m.; Cho's student mailbox was in the lobby of the building, so he had a pass card allowing access after 7:30 a.m., but it


is unclear how he gained earlier entrance to the building.[8]:77[19]:13

Cho shot his first victims in West Ambler Johnston Hall. At around 7:15 a.m., Cho entered the room which freshman Emily J. Hilscher shared with another student. Hilscher, a 19-year-old from Woodville, Virginia, was fatally wounded. After hearing the gunshots, a male resident assistant, Ryan C. Clark, attempted to aid Hilscher. Cho shot and killed Clark, a 22-year-old senior from Martinez, Georgia.[20][21] Hilscher remained alive for three hours after being shot, but no one from the school, law enforcement, or hospital notified her family until after she had died.[22][23]

Cho left the scene and returned to his room in Harper Hall, a dormitory west of West Ambler Johnston Hall. While police and emergency medical services units were responding to theshootings in the dorm next door, Cho changed out of his bloodstained clothes, logged on to his computer to delete his e-mail, and then removed the hard drive. About an hour after the attack, Cho is believed to have been seen near the campus duck pond. Although authorities suspected Cho had thrown his hard drive and mobile phone into the water, a search was unsuccessful.[24][25]

Almost two hours after the first killings, Cho appeared at a nearby post office and mailed a package of writings and video recordings to NBC News; the package was postmarked 9:01 a.m.[26] He then walked to Norris Hall. In a backpack, he carried several chains, locks, a hammer, a knife, two handguns with nineteen 10- and 15-round magazines, and nearly 400 rounds of ammunition.[6]:88,


92

About two hours after the initial shootings, Cho entered Norris Hall, which houses the Engineering Science and Mechanics program among others, and chained the three main entrance doors shut. He placed a note on at least one of the chained doors, claiming that attempts to open the door would cause a bomb to explode. Shortly before the shooting began, a faculty member found the note and took it to the building's third floor to notify the school's administration. At about the same time, however, Cho had begun to shoot students and faculty on the second floor; the bomb threat was never called in.[6]:89[27] Within one or two minutes of the first shots, the first call to 9-1-1 was received.[28]

According to several students, before the shooting began Cho lookedinto several classrooms. Erin Sheehan, an eyewitness and survivor who had been in room 207, told reporters that the shooter "peeked in twice" earlier in the lesson and that "it was strange that someone at this point in the semester would be lost, looking for a class".[29] At about 9:40 a.m, Cho began shooting.[6]:90 Cho's first attack after entering Norris occurred in an advanced hydrology engineering class taught by Professor G. V. Loganathan in room 206. Cho first shot and killed the professor, then continued firing, killing nine of the thirteen students in the room and injuring two others.[6]:90 Next, Cho went across the hall to room 207, in which instructor Jamie Bishop was teaching German. Cho killed Bishop and four students; six students were wounded.[6]:90 Cho then


moved on to Norris 211 and 204.[28] In both of these classrooms, Cho was initially prevented from entering due to barricades erected by instructors and students. In room 204, Professor Liviu Librescu, an IsraeliHolocaust survivor, forcibly prevented Cho from entering the room. Librescu was able to hold the door closed until most of his students escaped through the windows, but he died after being shot multiple times through the door. One student in his classroom was killed.[30] Instructor Jocelyne Couture-Nowak and student Henry Lee were killed in room 211 as they attempted to barricade the door.[31] According to the Virginia Tech Review Panel's report, eleven students died in room 211 and the six students who survived all suffered gunshot wounds.[6]:91 However, one of the survivors, Clay Violand, hasstated that he played dead and escaped without injury.[32]

Cho reloaded and revisited several of the classrooms.[28] After Cho's first visit to room 207, several students had barricaded the door and had begun tending the wounded. When Cho returned minutes later, Katelyn Carney and Derek O'Dell were injured while holding the door closed.[65][66][67] Cho also returned to room 206. According to a student eyewitness, the movements of a wounded Waleed Shaalan distracted Cho from a nearby student after the shooter had returned to the room. Shaalan was shot a second time and died.[68] Also in room 206, Partahi Mamora Halomoan Lumbantoruan may have protected fellow student Guillermo Colman by diving on top of him.[69] Colman's various accounts make it unclear whether this act was intentional or the involuntary result
