percent in the United Arab Emirates; 93.6 percent in Moscow, 99 percent in New York, and almost 96 percent in Washington, the Egyptian High Elections Committee Spokesperson Hisham Mokhtar said on January 13.

The turnout was 15.1 percent, which represents about 100,000 people. This marks a significant decrease in activity from the previous referendum on the draft proposed by Islamic fundamentalists in December 2012, when 42 percent of 681,000 eligible voters came to the polling stations.

Mokhtar explained the lower turnout by the cancellation of electronic voting that had been used by more than 160,000 people the previous time. However now more people came to the polling stations than in 2012, when only 86,000 voters cast ballots.

The referendum on Egypt’s draft new constitution started on January 8. During five days,after the removal of President Mohamed Morsi on July 3. It should be followed by parliamentary and presidential elections. The previous constitution, which was adopted during the reign of Islamic fundamentalists and which sparked numerous disputes in society, was suspended this past summer by the military after the deposition of the president and dissolution of the parliament.

The new constitution was handed over to Mansour on December 3, 2013 by a 50-member ad hoc commission which had worked on it for two months. The constitution has 247 articles. The draft sets forth a new mechanism for electing the parliament, which will have one chamber. The upper house will be disbanded. The new parliament will consist of 450 members and will get a new name - House of Representative. Two-thirds


The role of the breast physician in the multidisciplinary breast centre.
The term breast physician was coined in Australia in 1990 to describe a female medical practitioner who is skilled in interpreting screening mammograms and the diagnostic work-up of women with symptomatic breast problems. The Australian Society of Breast Physicians was formed in 1990, and in 1995 became the Australasian Society to incorporate the New Zealand breast physicians. There is now a network of breast physicians throughout Australia who are involved in breast screening clinics or breast diagnostic centres. Thirty women doctors in the United Kingdom work in a similar role. The role of the breast physician is a new, exciting and challenging career option for women doctors. The authors believe that breast physicians have an important role inand affordable!

We recently wrote about the ridiculous revolving door between the USTR and various copyright and patent maximalist lobbying organizations. If you want to know why the USTR always is pushing for maximalist positions, that's a good place to start. Our post was commenting on an article by Tim Lee at the Washington Post, in which he highlighted numerous examples of the revolving door between maximalist lobbying groups and the USTR. One of his very first examples was former top USTR official Ralph Ives, who signed a big deal, and then quickly went to work for a lobbying group that represents medical device manufacturers. Here's what Lee wrote:

The lead American negotiator was Ralph Ives, who was promoted to Assistant USTR for Pharmaceutical Policy soon after thenegotiations concluded. He was aided by Claude Burcky, Deputy Assistant USTR for Intellectual Property. Less than three months after the Australia agreement was signed, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that both men would take jobs at pharmaceutical or medical device companies. Their new employers stood to benefit from some of the pro-patent-holder provisions of the treaty. Ives took a job at AdvaMed, a trade group representing medical device manufacturers. Burcky moved to the pharmaceutical and medical device company Abbott Labs.

Later in the piece, Lee quoted Advamed angrily denying that Ives was lobbying USTR on intellectual property issues:

But AdvaMed disputes an accusation from Love that it has been lobbying USTR on patent issues. "Neither AdvaMed nor Ives has ever provided USTR comments on a provision of the TPP IP


the emails, you see a very close relationship with top RIAA official, Neil Turkewitz, who passes along news items to USTR officials (including about the original leak of the March 2011 TPP IP chapter -- the last one that we had seen prior to the recently leaked August version). He also reaches out to set up a meeting for RIAA boss Cary Sherman to express his concerns about the USTR including "limitations and exceptions" to copyright in the TPP. This was big news at the time because the USTR has never included such things (rather than "limitations and exceptions" they should be called "rights of the public") in a trade agreement. Of course, he shouldn't have worried. Later revelations showed that the USTR put in a system tocharge against his former allies and what happens when someone close to him develops metahuman powers?

KIRKUS REVIEW

The fourth installment in Carter's (Not a Good Look, 2010, etc.) Fab Life series sees R&B sensation Sunday Tolliver starting her first year at Spelman College.

Enjoying her fame but staying level-headed, Sunday quickly makes a new group of friends at college, including down-to-earth roommate Gia, elitist Meagan, and white former foster kid Piper. Characters from previous volumes reappear, including Sunday's now–long-distance boyfriend Sam, her superstar mentor Mystique and her cousin Dreya, aka Drama. Upheaval, dubious marketing schemes and double-crosses abound at the record company that has signed the cousins to its label, and readers are treated to an insider's view of the music industry through Sunday's healthily skeptical eyes. Longtime readers of the series will notice that Sunday has grown subtly: Club Pyramids, once the domain ofmeans, the rotation of the sun gear which is rotated in this manner, that is, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor fixed to the sun gear is detected.
Then, the control means makes the motor output the rotational force in response to a detection result of the detection means. The rotational force, for example, the rotational force in the counterclockwise direction outputted from the motor is transmitted to the planet gears by way of the sun gear. Here, since the ring gear is always fixed to a ring gear casing by way of the fixing member, the rotational force is applied to respective planet gears in the counterclockwise revolving direction about the sun gear as well as in the clockwise rotational direction about their axes. Accordingly,


the rotational force in the counterclockwise direction is applied to the carrier, that is, the carrier shaft.
The rotational force of the carrier shaft is increased with respect to the rotational force of the sun gear, that is, the rotational force of the output shaft of the motor which is integrally rotated with the sun gear. The rotational force in the counterclockwise direction which is increased in the above-mentioned manner is applied to the manipulating member. Accordingly, when the manipulator turns the manipulating member in the clockwise direction, the manipulator receives a feeling of resistance as a feeling of manipulation. On the other hand, when the motor is rotated in the clockwise direction, the rotational force in the direction equal to the rotational direction of the motor is imparteda constitution, it is possible to make the sun gear and the planet gears meshed with each other in a state that the center of rotation of the sun gear is obliquely disposed with respect to the center of revolution of the planetary gears by tilting the sun gear. Accordingly, the displacement between the output shaft of the motor and the carrier shaft can be eliminated.
Further, in the present invention, the support means may include: a first rotary body which is fixed to the output shaft of the motor; a the second rotary body which is fixed to the sun gear and is engaged and integrally rotated with the first rotary body; and engaging means which makes the first rotary body and the second rotary body engaged with


of rotation of one of the first rotary body and the second rotary body and the recess which is formed in a center of rotation of the other rotary body and is brought into slide contact with the projection.
In the manual inputting device having such a constitution, the force in the direction toward the center of rotation which is imparted to the sun gear can be received by the first rotary body and hence, it is possible to surely hold the sun gear and the planet gears in the properly meshed state.
Further, in the present invention, the detection means may include a code plate which is integrally rotated with the output shaft of the motor and the code plate may be integrally formed with the first rotary body.
Theis a very specific reason behind this – for the ruling class, disenchanting working people with the possibilities of change through social movements weakens the power working people hold to change society, and supports the myth that change happens from above, by politicians supported by the ruling class, “chosen” through elections.

The Two Party, One Class Oligarchy

Since its foundation, this nation has been based on the principles of capitalism, private property, wage labor, and profit. The white propertied (mostly slave-holding) men who founded this nation had the idea that those with the most wealth had the most to lose in the political system and hence should have the most control. This ruling class of white male elites were the guiding force in national politics at the time, and in


is going to be allowed to win, because that is good for the company. The company always wins because … they own the whole game. At this juncture in history Wall Street owns the whole major political party game.”1 Ford goes on to describe the collaboration between Obama and Bush to pass the bank bailouts at the behest of Wall Street bankers and owners.

The illusion of choice, the illusion of democracy is what the ruling class wants, and it hires politicians to sell that illusion to working people.

The Illusion of Difference, the Difference of Illusion

The differences between the candidates exist more in the rhetorical realm than in any solid policy. Both Romney and Obama are committed to wars in the Middle East. Obama drastically expanded the targeted assassinationprograms. Nixon even signed the Equal Rights Amendment, which promised to eliminate all discrimination based on gender. He also passed the Mine Health and Safety Act and created the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. Nixon was not a progressive or even liberal bulwark by any means, yet all of these achievements came during his term.

These victories came because of the strength of social movements. The Womens’ movement, the newly spawned Environmental/Green movement, the Labor movement, the strength of communities of color having fought decades for civil rights, the student movement, all coexisting and contributing to the pressure exerted on political leaders. The president and congress were under an extreme amount of pressure, similar to the government during the 1930s. Workers, students, women, people of color, non-cisgendered communities, and

Women make up more than 47 percent of the US workforce

American women demonstrating how vital women are to the US economy have stayed home from work, joined rallies or wore red, as International Women's Day was observed with a multitude of events around the world.

The Day Without a Woman protest in the US was promoted by organisers of the vast women's marches that drew more than 1 million Americans the day after President Donald Trump's inauguration.

The turnout this time was much smaller, with crowds in many places numbering in the hundreds. There were no immediate estimates of how many women heeded the call to skip work some schools were closed as not enough staff would turn up for work.

Many seized the opportunity to protest against Trump and hispolicies concerning women.

"I believe now more than ever it's important to stand up for women's reproductive rights, LGBTQ, the environment," a young woman who left her retail job to join a protest in New York, told Al Jazeera. "With this administration we have to take our rights seriously and make sure everyone is heard and represented."

An older man also said he came out because of Trump.

"I think he discriminates against women, has no respect for women and that's why I want to be here. For women."

OPINION: Sexy veils, running shoes and missing feminisms

A crowd of about 1,000 people, the vast majority of them women, gathered on New York's Fifth Avenue in the shadow of Trump Tower. Women wore red and waved signs reading "Nevertheless she persisted," ''Misogyny out


of the White House now" and "Resist like a girl".

At least 13 protesters were arrested for "disorderly conduct" after sitting in the street near the Trump Hotel, disrupting traffic.

Some of the main organisers of the Women's March - Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez and Bob Bland - were among those arrested.

Elsewhere in the city, a statue of a fearless-looking girl was placed in front of Wall Street's famous charging bull sculpture. The girl appeared to be staring down the animal. A plaque at her feet read: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference."

State Street Global Advisors, the firm behind the statue, said it was a way of calling attention to the lack of gender diversity on corporate boards and the pay gap ofwomen working in financial services.

The nation-wide event was inspired in part by the Day Without an Immigrant protest held last month.

School in such places as Prince George's County, Maryland; Alexandria, Virginia; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, cancelled classes after hundreds of teachers and other employees let it be known they would be out.

In Providence, Rhode Island, the municipal court closed for lack of staff members.

In Washington, DC, more than 20 Democratic female representatives walked out of the Capitol to address a cheering crowd of several hundred people.

Dressed in red, the lawmakers criticised efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi encouraged more women to go into politics, saying, "You have marched for progress. Now you must run for


women who can't strike."

As part of the protest, women were also urged to refrain from shopping.

OPINION: Women of the world, unite!

A few hundred people gathered on the lawn outside Los Angeles City Hall to rally for women's rights.

Hundreds of women dressed in red and holding signs with photos of their local lawmakers gathered at the Utah Capitol to remind legislators they are closely watching how they handle women's issues.

In Denver, several hundred people marched silently around the state Capitol.

Kelly Warren brought her daughters, ages 3 and 12.

"We wanted to represent every marginalised woman whose voice doesn't count as much as a man's," Warren, a sales associate in the male-dominated construction industry, told AFP.

Trump took to Twitter to salute "the critical role of women" in the US and aroundthe world. He tweeted that he has "tremendous respect for women and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy".

The White House said none of its female staff members skipped work in support of International Women's Day.

Women make up more than 47 percent of the US workforce and are dominant among registered nurses, dental assistants, cashiers, accountants and pharmacists, according to the census.

They make up at least a third of physicians and surgeons, and the same with lawyers and judges. Women also account for 55 percent of all college students.

At the same time, American women earn 80 cents for every dollar a man makes. The median income for women was $40,742 in 2015, compared with $51,212 for men, according

Funding for a community project in the Glens of Antrim has been pulled indefinitely because of a row over IRA names on the gates of the planned site.

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council allocated £180,000 to the project on 24 May.

But the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) said the building of the centre in Glenariff would "re-traumatise" people affected by terrorism.

The DUP has pointed to the names of IRA men that appear on gates near the site.

Charlie McAllister and Pat McVeigh were killed in 1922 and their names are on gates that lead into the Glenariff GAA grounds, where the community centre is planned.

Abuse

A lawyer will now


have to look into the ruling by the council's leisure and development committee and advise the council on a way forward.

The money was to be allocated to the Friends of Glenariff group to build a shared community space.

Glens Sinn Féin councillor Cara McShane said the action by the DUP was a "vile abuse of power".

"I feel for this community," she said.

"There is no political agenda here and the last thing anyone wants is for this facility, which is much-needed in a rural community, to be used for political point-scoring.

"People are very emotional.

"The Friends of Glenariff have been working hard for almost six years to organise thisproject and now there's a chance it won't go ahead, even though council has already passed the motion."

Offensive

Ms McShane said the planned community centre would be "open to all".

"If the Orange Order wanted to use it they would be allowed," she added.

"It's about all communities, sports and activities - not just the GAA."

DUP councillor Sam Cole said the position of his party was that the gates must come down.

He said: "The decision to fund a community centre here would be opposed by one section of the community, namely the unionist community.

"We find the presence of the names on these gates offensive.

"We feel they say: 'Protestants aren't welcome'."

Mr Cole said he would support a centre that was welcoming to all and said the funding is not in line with

The long-term environmental campaigner and organic farmer Lord Peter Melchett has died, aged 71.

Lord Melchett, who lived in Ringstead, Norfolk, had been executive director of Greenpeace UK and most recently policy director of the Soil Association.

In 1999, he was cleared of criminal damage after being accused of ripping up a GM maize crop in Lyng.

Friend Elizabeth Buchannan said he was "an establishment figure who became a radical campaigner".

Peter Mond, fourth Baron Melchett, went from Eton to Cambridge University, where he read law.

Illness prevented him taking his finals but he later took an MA in criminology at the University of


Keele, followed by 18 months at the London School of Economics.

Lord Melchett inherited his title aged 25, following the early death of his father.

He became a Labour Party Whip, a junior minister at the Department of the Environment and a minister of state for Northern Ireland under Jim Callaghan.

He became executive director of Greenpeace UK in 1989 and in 1999, he and 27 fellow activists faced criminal damage charges after ripping up genetically modified crops but were acquitted when the jury accepted their defence that they believed the crop would have polluted the environment.

In 1985, he tried to cut through the perimeter wire of an American air base at Sculthorpe in East Anglia as part of an anti-nuclear protest.

Speaking to Sue Lawley on Desert Island Discs in 2000 he said you had to have the public with you to bring about change.

"You only win a campaign if people support you and people will only support you if you're right - if what you're saying is correct or if what you predict turns out to be the case," he said.

Executive director of Greenpeace UK, John Sauven, said he would be "sorely missed by everyone who loved wildlife and wanted to protect the global environment".

"In Peter's 12 years campaigning at Greenpeace he was


both fearless in taking on big corporations like BP and Monsanto but also pioneering in supporting solutions like Greenfreeze refrigeration to save the ozone layer.

"We all live a little bit more peacefully with the earth and its animals as a result of his efforts. A true radical and campaigner to the end."

Helen Browning, chief executive officer of the Soil Association, where Lord Melchett had been for 18 years, said the organisation was "so saddened" by his death.

"[He] was such an important, charismatic figure in the environment and organic movement throughout his lifetime," she said.

State Department reports pervasive discrimination of Roma in Kosovo

25 February 2009 – The US Department of State has just issued its annual report on the state of Human Rights in the World. On Kosovo, the State Departments notes, that “the Roma were subject to pervasive social and economic discrimination; often lacked access to basic hygiene, medical care, and education; and were heavily dependent on humanitarian aid for survival.”

Extracts:

Trial Procedures

“In 2007 the government established a Legal Aid Commission, an independent government agency that provides free legal assistance to low-income individuals. (…) Of all persons receiving assistance, 207 (38 percent) were female and 48 (9 percent) were minorities, including members of the Roma, Turkish, Bosniak, Serbian, and Egyptian communities.”

Civil Judicial Procedures and Remedies

“According to a 2006 Organization for Security andDisplaced Persons (IDPs)

“As of November, overall minority returns since 2000 stood at 18,527 persons. Kosovo Serbs comprised approximately 28 percent of returnees during the year, compared with 32 percent in 2007. Roma (including Ashkali and Egyptians) continued to return, comprising 48 percent of the overall number of returns compared to 49 percent in 2007. In Mitrovice/Mitrovica, Kosovo Serbs in the north and Kosovo Albanians in the south continued to illegally occupy each others’ properties, hindering potential returns.

As of August, 37 Roma families (144 persons) remained at the lead-polluted Cesmin Lug camp for IDPs. Osterode, a medical treatment facility also in north Mitrovice/Mitrovica, housed 98 families (395 persons) who were relocated from Cesmin Lug and two other polluted camps in 2006.

UNMIK continued to make slow progress rebuilding the original


Roma settlement in south Mitrovice/Mitrovica destroyed in 1999 by Kosovo Albanians. Displaced persons began returning to the neighborhood in 2006; by the end of 2007, 368 inhabitants–307 Roma, 59 Ashkali, and two Serbs–had returned.”

Elections and Political Participation

“Following the November 2007 elections, there were 24 ethnic minority members in the 120-seat Assembly, including 10 Kosovo Serbs and 14 members of other groups, including ethnic Turks, Bosniaks, Gorani, Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptians. There were three minority government ministers–two Kosovo Serbs and one Kosovo Bosniak–and two Serb and two Bosniak deputy ministers. One Kosovo Bosniak; one Kosovo Turk; and a representative of the Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian communities held a rotating seat on the Assembly presidency.”

Children

“While education is free and compulsory up to age 15, statistics from 2005, the most recentwork both at home and in the streets at an early age to contribute to family income. Romani children were also disadvantaged by having to learn another language to attend school since many spoke Romani at home. Some Kosovo Bosniak children in predominantly Bosniak areas occasionally were able to obtain primary education in their language, but those outside such areas received instruction in Albanian.”

“There was anecdotal evidence of child marriage, particularly in the Roma, Ashkali, Egyptian, and Kosovo Albanian communities. The government and NGOs did not compile statistics, so the extent of the problem was unclear.”

National/Racial/Ethnic Minorities

“Official and societal discrimination persisted against Kosovo Serb, Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian communities in employment, social services, language use, freedom of movement, the right to return, and other basic rights. Members of


the Kosovo Bosniak and Gorani communities also complained of discrimination. During the year violence and other crimes directed at minorities and their property increased from 2007. Minority employment in public institutions continued to be low and was generally confined to lower levels of the government; members of minorities occupied 10.4 percent of government jobs despite a government target of more than 16 percent.

In July 2007 the human rights ombudsman issued a report that concluded ethnic discrimination was a prevalent and constant problem, particularly in the areas of health care and employment. The report also noted that minority groups continued to face regular threats.

Between January 1 and August 31, UNMIK police reported 798 cases of interethnic crime; 617 involved Serbs as victims or suspects. According to UNMIK, underreporting ofinterethnic incidents persisted as a consequence of the KPS policy of assigning low priority to them and persistent mistrust between minorities with the Kosovo Albanian majority.”

“Roma were subject to pervasive social and economic discrimination; often lacked access to basic hygiene, medical care, and education; and were heavily dependent on humanitarian aid for survival. Although there were some successful efforts to resettle Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptians in the homes they occupied prior to the 1999 conflict in Vushtrri/Vucitrn, security concerns remained.

On June 12, the OSCE reported that three Romani returnee families would not be charged for water and water services supplied to their homes in Kosovo while the families were displaced in Macedonia from 1999 to 2007. Following their return in 2007 the Gjilan/Gnjilane public utility company demanded payment

Full Name:

Fredi Gonzalez

Uniform #:

Fredi Gonzalez is in his fourth season as the Braves' skipper and his eighth overall as a Major League manager. He owns a career record of 555-486 (.533) and a record of 279-207 (.574) in three seasons with the Braves, including a 96-66 mark and the National League East Division title in 2013.

Gonzalez's Braves jumped out to a 12-1 start last season and held a 54-41 record and a six-game lead in the NL East at the All-Star break. Atlanta went 42-25 after the break and won the division title by 10 games, marking the Braves' first division crown since 2005. Atlanta posted a 10-game winning streak in early April and then a 14-game winning streak from July 26to August 9 to become the first Braves squad since 1954 to post two winning streaks of 10-or-more games in the same season.

Atlanta's 47-29 (.618) record against teams from the NL East was easily the best of any club in the division last season. Gonzalez owns an impressive .556 winning percentage in his eight seasons of intradivision play in the NL East.

In his three seasons with Atlanta, Gonzalez has led the Braves to the most regular-season wins in the NL, and the second-most in the majors (one behind the Texas Rangers, 280). He has finished in the top five in BBWAA Manager of the Year voting four times in his career, including each of the last three seasons (third in 2013). He led the Braves to a 94-68


mark and the top seed in the NL Wild Card Game in 2012.

On October 13, 2010, Gonzalez was introduced as the Club's 16th manager since the organization moved to Atlanta in 1966. He replaced the legendary Bobby Cox, who retired from managing at the conclusion of the 2010 season. Gonzalez, was the Braves' third base coach under Cox for four seasons (2003 to 2006) and served as the organization's Triple-A manager at Richmond in 2002.

Gonzalez, 50, served as the manager for the Florida Marlins for three-plus seasons (2007 through June 22, 2010) and went 276-279 with the Marlins, including 34-36 in 2010. He is the all-time winningest manager in Marlins franchise history, surpassing Jack McKeon's 241 career wins.

In 2009, Gonzalez led Florida to an 87-75 record, marking thesixth time in franchise history the club finished above .500. He was named the 2008 Sporting News National League Manager of the Year after guiding the Marlins to an 84-77 record in his second year as skipper, as he became just the third Marlins manager to lead the team to a winning record.

Gonzalez was named the Marlins' manager on October 3, 2006, replacing Joe Girardi. In Gonzalez's debut season in 2007 the Marlins went 71-91 and he served as a coach for the National League at the All-Star Game in San Francisco, under manager Tony La Russa.

Following a six-year (1982-87) playing career as a catcher in the New York Yankees' farm system, Gonzalez began his coaching career in 1990, when he took over as manager of the unaffiliated


Miami Miracle (A) of the Florida State League with 20 games remaining on their schedule. He continued his post as manager of the Miracle in 1991, then moved to the Marlins organization in

1992, when he was named the first minor league manager in Marlins franchise history. He led the 1992 Erie (A) club to a 40-37 record en route to the New York-Penn League championship series.

Gonzalez managed for seven seasons in the Marlins organization, from 1992 to 1998, and served as third base coach at the Major League level from 1999 to 2001. He was selected by Baseball America as the Eastern League Manager of the Year in 1997 and was recognized by Baseball America as the Florida State League Manager of the Year in 1994, after going78-61 with Brevard County (A) and finishing second to Tampa in the FSL championship series.

In 1993, Gonzalez guided High Desert (A) to an 85-52 mark en route to becoming California League Champions - the first-ever championship by a Marlins' affiliate. He was named Baseball America's California League Manager of the Year in 1993 and received the Carl Barger Player Development Person of the Year Award in 1993.

Gonzalez graduated from Miami's Southridge High School in 1982 and was selected by the Yankees in the 16th round of the 1982 June draft.

Gonzalez is active in fund-raising efforts for the Cindy Donald Dreams of Recovery Foundation (www.dreamsofrecovery.org), which helps to create a positive change for those individuals facing the challenges which accompany spinal cord and/or brain injuries.

Kenyatta earlier said 700 people had been rescued throughout the siege.

He later said there were five attackers who were all killed.

CCTV footage broadcast on local media showed four black-clad, heavily armed men entering the complex on Tuesday afternoon.

At least one of them blew himself up at the start of the attack.

A police source said two attackers had been shot dead Wednesday morning after a prolonged shootout.

“The two have red bandanas tied around their forehead and bullets strapped around their chest with several magazines each,” the senior police officer said.

“Each had an AK47 which has been secured.”

The Somali militant group al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack.

NSW facing worst fire danger day

AAP

Every national park in NSW is to be closed as the state faces its worst fire danger day in history with severe, extreme and catastrophic conditions.

A total fire ban will be in place across NSW on Tuesday with temperatures in the state's far west predicted to hit 45C, while the mercury is forecast to climb to 43C in Sydney - the third highest on record.

"Having had record rain ... we are about to have record dangers," Premier Barry O'Farrell told reporters in Sydney on Monday.

"Tomorrow will be perhaps the worst fire danger day the state has ever faced."

He urged those living in Shoalhaven, the Illawarra and the southern ranges to be prepared, with a catastrophic fire danger warning in place.

metal-to-metal, high-pressure containment seal capable of sealing both liquids and gases. The connection includes a first pipe member having a box end, the box end having an end opening defining an interior surface with internal threads. The internal threads are defined by crests and roots and opposing flanks. A second, mating pipe member has a pin end. The pin end has an exterior surface with mating external threads. The external threads also have crests and roots and opposing flanks, at least selected ones of which move into engagement with the internal threads of the box when the connection is made up. A generally cylindrical sealing surface on the box interior surface and a mating generally cylindrical sealing surface on the pin exterior surface form a primary containment sealupon make-up of the connection. A primary ramp region is formed on the pin exterior surface and a mating primary ramp region is formed on the box interior surface. The primary ramp regions are spaced apart from the cylindrical sealing surfaces which form the primary containment seal. The primary ramp regions are positioned with respect to the cylindrical sealing surfaces to simulate pin swaging and/or box expansion prior to full engagement of the cylindrical sealing surfaces, whereby the cylindrical sealing surfaces assemble with little or no interference or clearance.
Preferably, the primary ramp regions are selectively positioned to contact and interfere prior to full engagement of the cylindrical sealing surfaces and to be in full or near clearance as the full engagement of the cylindrical sealing surfaces occurs during


made up, whereby engagement of the primary ramp regions exerts an inward radial force on the pin end of the second, mating pipe member. The pin end primary ramp region then rides down the box primary ramp region as the connection continues to be made up. The primary ramp regions then enter a clearance region as the cylindrical sealing surfaces make contact and move to a fully engaged position.

I. Background
The facts as set forth are taken from the record before me, which consist primarily of deposition testimony and Detective Rouland's Affidavit of Probable Cause, dated January 27, 1995.[2] I have adopted Plaintiff's version of the facts when there are disparities.[3] Plaintiff Robert Olender and his wife own a property at 568 Bristol Pike in Bensalem Township. In November 1993, they leased the to Robert Shockey, who ran a business called the Monterey Bay Photo Company on the premises. On November 10, 1994, the Bensalem Township Police Department received information that a house of prostitution might be operating at 568 Bristol Pike, and that same day, Detective Rouland began surveillance of the property. He followed and stopped a male leaving the premises, and questioned


him on what took place inside. The man stated that he had just had a "B & D" session, in which, for $175, a woman whipped him, then watched him as he masturbated. The next day, November 11, Detective Rouland and a second Detective, named Berry, were watching 568 Bristol Pike. Again, they followed a man as he left the building, and questioned him. That man told the detectives that he had just received a massage in which the female masseuse masturbated him. That evening, Detectives Rouland and Berry, were back watching the property. At some point, Shockey came out of the building and asked the detectives to identify themselves. Shockey heard them identify themselves as "Roland" and "Berry," but the detectives would not indicate whether or notthey were police officers. Shockey returned to the building and called Olender.
In that call, Shockey told Olender of his conversation with "Roland" and "Barry," and indicated that he wanted to find out if the two individuals were police officers or "vigilantes." Olender, who is a photographer, had taken portraits of most of the Township's police officers for a public service program, and in response to Shockey's call, went to 568 Bristol Pike, taking with him a poster containing the portraits of approximately fifty officers. Shockey could not identify "Roland" or "Barry" from that poster. Olender then called the police station for information on "Roland" and "Berry," and was told that there were two Bensalem detectives named Rouland and Barry. Olender then went out to where Rouland and Berry


were positioned, identified himself, and invited them in to inspect the premises. The detectives declined and left the area.
Prior to the investigation by Defendant Rouland, Defendant Carroll had been investigating the activities at 568 Bristol Pike. On August 30, 1994, he had gone there undercover and received a massage, during which the masseuse asked him if he wanted her to *780 perform a "hand release" (a genital massage to cause ejaculation). On November 14, 1994, Carroll again went to the building, and was told by the masseuse that he couldn't get a "hand release" because "the neighbors have been stopping people when they leave." That same day, the police caused a search warrant to issue for the property. The police gathered evidence, including costumes, whips, masks, leather garments,restraints, paddles, a coffin, handcuffs, and a prayer alter, and took three female employees to police headquarters for questioning. In their search, the police also recovered the poster of the police officers that Olender had taken to Shockey three days earlier, and a photograph of another Bensalem Police Officer, Greg Young. Olender later told Detective Rouland that he had taken the picture of Officer Young over to Shockey to demonstrate a photographic technique.
One of the women taken in by the police on November 14 was Nicole Peckham. At the police station, Ms. Peckham was questioned by Defendant Knowles. At one point during the interview, Rouland briefly entered the room. Peckham later testified at Olender's trial that Rouland, who is "the brother-in-law of Peckham's son's father (by marriage)," threatened


to have Peckham's son taken from her if she did not cooperate with the investigation. During the questioning, Knowles asked Peckham whether she knew Olender, or if she knew the landlord. She replied that she didn't know anyone name Olender, and didn't know the landlord. Knowles then said that Olender drives a white Jeep, and asked if she knew the guy who drove a white Jeep. Peckham replied that she knew a guy who drove a white Jeep, who met often with Shockey, but that she didn't know him as either Olender or the landlord. Peckham then added that the guy in the white Jeep was used as a "model," during a massage training session, but that the massage was non-sexual.[4]
On November 16, Olender went to the policestation, on assignment from his employer Associated Press, to get access passes to an unrelated crime scene from Defendant Captain Robinson. After getting the passes and finishing with Robinson, Olender was asked by Detectives Rouland and Knowles if he would speak to them, and Olender agreed, and the three men went into a small office at the station. Their discussion centered on the activities at 568 Bristol Pike, and Olender's knowledge of what was taking place there. During this discussion, Rouland repeatedly attempted to get Olender to admit that he knew what was going on there and informed Olender that he could be charged with "facilitating prostitution" because he was the landlord and should have known what was going on. Olender was upset by Rouland's questions and statements,


did not take any action at this time, and indicated to Olender that it was no big deal, and "they might not do anything about it."
On or about December 9, 1994, Rouland signed an affidavit of probable cause, requesting that an arrest warrant be issued against Olender. Among other facts, Rouland's affidavit related that, on November 16, Olender told Rouland that he had been suspicious of the activities at 568 Bristol Pike. In addition the affidavit included Ms. Peckham's identification of Olender as the model at the massage training session. Also on December 9, Rouland and Carroll signed a criminal complaint against Olender, charging him with prostitution and promoting prostitution, and hindering apprehension and prosecution. Olender was arraigned before District Justice Leonard J. Brown on December 9, 1994and pled "not guilty." On Monday, December 12, Nicole Peckham was arraigned, and Olender was present at her arraignment. When Peckham was introduced to Olender that day, she realized that she had misidentified him to Knowles on November 14 as the man in the white Jeep, and the massage "model."
On January 25, 1995, a preliminary hearing was conducted by District Justice Brown. The only evidence offered against Olender was Defendant Carroll's testimony regarding Carroll's undercover activities at Monterey in August and November, and the statements made to Detective Carroll about the availability of "hand releases." District Justice Brown held that Carroll's testimony was inadmissible hearsay. The Commonwealth asked for a continuance in order to present additional witnesses and evidence, but District Justice Brown denied that request and dismissed


the case without prejudice to the Commonwealth's right to refile charges against Olender. Ms. Peckham was present for this hearing, and informed the Assistant District Attorney handling Olender's case, Troy Leitzel, that she had incorrectly identified Olender on November 14 as the massage model. Rouland became aware of Peckham's recantation that same day.
Two days later, on January 27, 1995, Rouland and Carroll again swore out a criminal complaint against Olender before District Justice Brown. In support of the complaint, Rouland presented an exact copy of the probable cause affidavit he had submitted on December 9, 1994, which included Ms. Peckham's now-recanted identification. This second criminal complaint added a third charge against Olender for conspiracy. Also on January 27, District Attorney Alan Rubenstein phoned Olender's attorney and informed himof the filing of the amended criminal complaint. On February 2, Rubenstein filed a petition to secure a new issuing authority and requested a Common Pleas Judge to appoint an alternate District Justice to sit at the preliminary hearing. Common Pleas Judge Garb appointed District Justice John Kelly to handle this second preliminary hearing, which was held on March 16, 1995. Following this preliminary hearing District Justice Kelly held Olender over for trial.
In June 1995, Olender went to trial before the Honorable Ward F. Clark. Prior to trial, Olender filed a motion to dismiss the charges, suppress the warrant executed at 568 Bristol Pike, and to suppress Rouland's report of his November 16, 1994 interview with Olender. Judge Clark denied all three motions. On June 26 trial began,


him. I will address these allegations in turn.
Throughout his pleadings, Olender claims that Defendant Rouland coerced or threatened Ms. Peckham on the night of November 14 into implicating Olender. This contention is a bald assertion of fact, without support in the record cited by Olender. In his Response to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, on page 7, Olender states that Peckham was brought in to testify at his trial in June 1995, and "on cross examination, Nicole Peckham related that her identification of the plaintiff had been coerced by David Rouland, who threatened to take her son away if she did not implicate Robert Olender." The transcript of Peckham's testimony, however, reveals only that she felt threatened by Rouland to cooperate with the investigation (Exh. H to Pl.'sResp. at 15-16), which, at that stage, concerned the entire investigation into prostitution at 568 Bristol Pike. In her testimony Peckham did not state that she was coerced into naming Olender. In fact, her trial testimony corroborates Detective Knowles testimony regarding Peckham's identification of Olender: that she mistakenly identified Olender as the driver of the white Jeep and "model" for the massage training, and that she informed her lawyer of the mistake as soon as she realized it at her arraignment in December. (Id. at 18; Exh. C to Pl's Resp. at 16-17). Thus, I will not consider Olender's contention  that Rouland coerced Peckham into identifying Olender  in my consideration of his claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The remaining evidence Olender cites fails, as a


matter of law, to state a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Because I have determined that the Detective Defendants had probable cause to arrest Olender, his arrest and trial, even though he was found "not guilty" of the charges against him, do not support a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Finally, although Olender may have felt unable to leave during Rouland and Knowles questioning of him on November 16, 1994, the ninety minute session, in which the only potential threat made against him was that he would be arrested for "facilitating" prostitution, and where Rouland allegedly prevented Olender from leaving by saying, "Sit down. Now calm down, calm down. Now, look, it ain't that bad," (Olender Dep. at 96-97), does not rise to theThe Toronto Raptors have now faced eight All-Stars from last season. They've combined to shoot 36.8 percent from the floor while scoring nearly nine points fewer than they have against everyone else. Here's why Wednesday's defensive masterpiece against Damian Lillard was no fluke.

For the third straight game, the Toronto Raptors put the clamps on a superstar.

Damian Lillard struggled all night on Wednesday against the Raptors, finishing just 2-for-12 from the floor for a season-low nine points, a shockingly low total for a player that entered averaging 32.5 points per game and had scored at least 22 points in every game up until the home date with the Raptors.

real fame came from dark places both real and imagined. With an astronomical cyclic rate and compact size, the MAC-10 was a common tool of the cocaine cartels and their associated drug networks. Politicians vilified it, along with its semi-automatic clones, and Hollywood provided plenty of time on the silver screen. In the end, Ingram’s innovative weapon found a lasting place among iconic firearms because it became a movie star.

From L-R, John P. Foote, Gordon B. Ingram and Maxwell Atchisson, the ordnance engineers at MAC.

Gordon B. Ingram returned from service in World War II with a deep interest in firearms design. He was not a man who was interested in ascetics. For him, manufacturing ease and reliability were the key issues in a soldier’s weapon. They had tobe robust, with few moving parts that could break or be lost during maintenance on the battlefield. . Most of his designs were made from welded stampings that could be produced with simple tooling and in large numbers. He never pursued the civilian market until late in his design career. His weapons were meant for war.

Starting a company that sold military-grade weapons right after World War II was an uphill struggle. Military budgets has shrunk in the United States and the submachine gun role could be handled by the million-plus M3 Grease Guns that had been built during the war. Other buyers enjoyed an ocean of surplus military weapons that could be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Given the worldwide market, it isn’t surprising that Ingram’s first


M-6 is quite maneuverable, which could explain why the Cuban Navy was one of the few significant purchasers of the weapon. The weapon was select fire, controlled by how hard the trigger was pulled. A short pull of the trigger produced single shots. A longer pull produced fully automatic fire at a cyclic rate of about 600 rounds per minute. Sales were tepid, with some additional contracts going to the Peruvian army. There was little interest from American law enforcement and none from the American military. The M-6 was only manufactured from 1949 until 1952 producing about 20,000 units.

A disassembled M-10

In 1964, Ingram was back with a design that showed real promise for the military market. His Model 10 was beefy, weighing more than six pounds empty, butfiring from an open bolt became a popular weapon for illegal conversion to fully automatic fire. As the cocaine wars began to heat up, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms responded to this flourishing illegal market by banning open bolt semi-auto variants of the M-10 and M-11 in June of 1982.

The M-10 has always been a lightning rod for controversy and is often cited by politicians with a gun control agenda.

Military Armament Corporation ended weapons production a year before Hollywood discovered the flashy little machine pistol. The M-10 made its movie debut with John Wayne in Warner Brothers “McQ” in 1974 and a star was born. By the mid-80s it was making almost weekly appearances on shows like Miami Vice.

Observers held in Ukraine speak under armed guard

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine - Eight European military observers held prisoner by pro-Russia forces in eastern Ukraine were marched out under armed guard on Sunday to give public assurances that they weren't being mistreated.

Germany's foreign minister condemned the appearance as "revolting" and a violation of the men's dignity. Four members of the team are German.

One of the observers, a Swedish officer, was


released later in the day for medical reasons.

The insurgents in Slovyansk have taken a number of people hostage, including journalists and pro-Ukraine activists, as they strengthen their control in the east of the country in defiance of the interim government in Kiev and its Western supporters.

On Sunday, they captured three Ukrainian security service officers, who were shown to Russian journalists bloodied and blindfolded with packing tape.

Also on Sunday, a crowd of several hundred pro-Russia activists stormed the television broadcasting center in Donetsk, the regional capital of eastern Ukraine, to demand that Russian state channels be put back on the air. The Kiev government last month blocked the broadcasts of the Russian channels, which serve as propaganda tools for the Kremlin.

The crowd included several dozen men wearing camouflage fatiguesand face masks, the standard uniform of the pro-Russia forces that have seized government buildings in at least 10 cities in eastern Ukraine.

Col. Axel Schneider from Germany, who spoke for the group of military observers detained on Friday, stressed that they were on a diplomatic mission under the auspices of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe and weren't spying for NATO, as the insurgents claim.

Schneider said additional proof of this was the participation of the officer from Sweden, which is not a member of NATO.

The observers, who appeared nervous, were in the custody of armed men wearing camouflage fatigues and black balaclavas, who escorted them into the Slovyansk city hall for the news conference and led them away afterward. Schneider, however, said they were being treated


as well as possible under the circumstances.

"The mayor of this city granted us his protection and he regarded us as his guests," Schneider told journalists. "I can tell you that the word of the mayor is a word of honor. We have not been touched."

Schneider, who was speaking before the Swede was freed, said he had no information about when they would be released and that this was a matter for diplomats of their countries. The group also includes officers from Poland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.

The Swedish officer, Maj. Thomas Johansson, got into a car with OSCE representatives outside city hall and drove off with them. He was freed "on humanitarian grounds as he has a mild form of diabetes," said Stella Khorosheva, a spokeswoman for thecity's mayor.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier condemned the display of prisoners.

"Today's public display of the OSCE observers and the Ukrainian security forces as prisoners is revolting and violates (their) dignity in a blatant fashion," he said in a statement. "This is a breach of all the rules and standards."

The German colonel said he understood that the self-proclaimed mayor, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, could use the observers as a bargaining chip.

"Our presence here in Slovyansk is for sure a political instrument for the decision makers here in the region and the possibility to use it for negotiations," Schneider said. "It's logical in the eyes of Mayor Ponomarev that he can use us to present his positions."

Ponomarev said Saturday that the European observers could be released in exchange for jailed pro-Russia activists.

The


mayor has refused to specify how many Ukrainian journalists and activists his forces have detained, but he suggested it was several dozen.

On Sunday, the insurgents captured three Ukrainian security service officers, who were shown to journalists in the security service headquarters in Slovyansk. Stripped of their trousers and shoes, they sat with heads bowed.

Igor Strelkov, who has been identified as the commander of the armed insurgents, said the three Ukrainian officers were on a mission to seize leaders of the pro-Russia force when they were captured.

Ukraine's Security Service confirmed that its officers had been seized by armed men. The officers were on a mission to detain a Russian citizen suspected in the killing of a Ukrainian parliament member, the agency said in a statement.

The Ukrainian government and theCustoms and Border Protection agents have been invasively questioning Muslim-Americans at U.S. border crossings about their political and religious beliefs, asking for their social media information, and demanding passwords to open mobile phones, according to a set of complaints filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

In one case, a 23-year old American citizen alleges that he was choked by a CBP agent after declining to hand over his phone for inspection while crossing the border back from Canada.

The complaints deal with the cases of nine people who have been stopped at various U.S. border crossings, eight of whom are American citizens, and one Canadian. They were filed to the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Justice.

The allegations come in the wake


American citizen from Buffalo. He told The Intercept that he had been detained at the border during two separate incidents in early January, including one where he says agents physically assaulted him when he declined to give them his cellphone.

During the first incident, while driving back to the United States from Canada on New Year’s Day, he and his fiancée were pulled aside, searched and interrogated by border agents. Shibly said that he and his fiancée’s cellphones were confiscated and taken into a back room out of view. They were given forms to fill out that asked for passwords to unlock their devices, as well as for their email addresses and information about their family backgrounds — requests that they complied with.

Strategy
========

PDSA cycle 1: On week 3, the first weekend the form was introduced, feedback via an informal survey was taken from the consultant, two registrars, a core trainee and FY1 who had used the form. This allowed identification of aspects of the form that required improvement and how the form was being utilised by the day team.

PDSA Cycle 2: After discussion, adjustments were made to the form and it was re-marketed as the WOOSH form. The sections for the ward rounds to be documented on a Saturday and a Sunday were made larger and the section enabling the team to circle the weekend bloods required


was removed. The form was then made available on Week 4. See additional supplement WOOSH BMJ. On Week 6, after the WOOSH form had been used for three consecutive weekends, a survey was then disseminated as before. The form received positive feedback, with no major areas of concern regarding the form design, use or concept. The form was placed on the surgical drive and was made readily available on all surgical ward, with a biannual review plan.

Results

Advantages
Advantages of cold working over hot working include:
No heating required
Better surface finish
Superior dimensional control
Better reproducibility and interchangeability
Directional properties can be imparted into the metal
Contamination problems are minimized

Depending on the material and extent of deformation, the increase in strength due to work hardening may be comparable to that of heat treating. Therefore, it is sometimes more economical to cold work a less costly and weaker metal than to hot work a more expensive metal that can be heat treated, especially if precision or a fine surface finish is required as well.

On October 14, 1905, when the court was about to pronounce sentence, Williamson-whose term of office as a member of the House of Representatives did not expire until March 4, 1907-protested against the court passing sentence upon him, and especially to any sentence of imprisonment, on the ground that thereby

of those words as understood in this country and in England prior to and at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. in the Articles of Confederation (last clause of article 5) it was provided:

'Freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress, and the members of Congress shall be protected in their persons from arrests and imprisonments, during the time of their going to and from, and attendance on, Congress, except for treason, felony, or breach of the peace.'

In article 5 of 'Mr. Charles Pinckney's Draft of a Federal Government' it was provided as followsimpeached or questioned in any court or place out of the legislature; and the members of each house shall, in all cases, except treason, felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at Congress, and in going to and returning from it.'

The clause would seem not to have been the subject of debate. 3 Doc. Hist. of Constitution (Dept. of State, 1900), 500. In Elliott's Debates (p. 237) it is recited as follows:

'On the question to agree to the 5th section of the 6th article, as reported, it passed in the affirmative.'

And in the revised draft the section was reported by the committee of revision exactly as it now appears.

the Commons in a broad, and not in a restricted, sense. And in the concluding chapter (V.), after stating (4th ed. 205) 'the principal view, which the House of Commons seems always to have had in the several declarations of their privileges,' the author says ( p. 206):

'Beyond this, they seem never to have attempted; there is not a single instance of a member's claiming the privilege of Parliament to withdraw himself from the criminal law of the land: for offenses against the public peace they always thought themselves amenable to the laws of their country: they were contented with being substantially secured from any violence from the Crown, or its ministers; but readily submitted themselves to the judicature of the King's Bench, the legal court of criminal442]
and effectual prosecution of so heinous and dangerous an offense.'

'Since that time,' said the committee of privileges in 1831, 'it has been considered as established generally, that privilege is not claimable for any indictable offense.'

'These being the general declarations of the law of Parliament, one case will be sufficient to show how little protection is practically afforded by privilege, in criminal offenses. In 1815, Lord Cochrane, a member, having been indicted and convicted of a conspiracy, was committed by the court of King's bench to the King's bench prison. Lord Cochrane escaped, and was arrested by the marshal, whilst he was sitting on the privy councilor's bench, in the House of Commons, on the right hand of the chair, at which time there was no member present, prayers


not having been read. The case was referred to the committee of privileges, who reported that it was 'entirely of a novel nature, and that the privileges of Parliament did not appear to have been violated, so as to call for the interposition of the house, by any proceedings against the marshal of the King's bench."

See also Bowyer, Const. Law of England, 2d ed. p. 84.

In what is styled Mr. Long Wellesley's Case, decided in 1831, 2 Russ . & M. 639, the party named had been taken into custody for clandestinely removing his infant daughter, a ward of the court, from the place where such ward was residing under authority of the court. The question for decision arose upon a motion to disharge the order for commitment'on the ground that, as a member of the House of Commons, he was protected from attachment by the privilege of Parliament.' As stated in the report of the case, the committee of privileges of the House of Commons, which had the matter of the arrest of Mr. Wellesley under consideration, decided, p. 644, 'that Mr. Long Wellesley's claim to be discharged from imprisonment by reason of privilege of Parliament ought not to be admitted.' On the subject of the extent of the privilege, counsel,
[207 U.S. 425, 443]
who as amicus curioe contended that the order of commitment was invalid, made an elaborate reference to authorities and pertinent statutes. Lord Chancellor Brougham, however, decided that privilege of Parliament was no protection against an attachment for what was in its


mean in England.

Story, in his treatise on the Constitution, speaking of the subject, says:

'Sec. 859. The next part of the clause regards the privilege of the members from arrest, except for crimes, during their attendance at the sessions of Congress, and their going to and returning from them. This privilege is conceded by law to the humblest suitor and witness in a court of justice; and it would be strange indeed if it were denied to the highest functionaries of the state in the discharge of their public duties. It belongs to Congress in common with all other legislative bodies which exist, or have existed in America since its first settlement, under every variety of government, and it has immemorially constituted a privilege of both houses of thefact attended with force and violence, as those which are only constructive breaches of the peace of the government, inasmuch as they violate its good order. And so, in truth, it was decided in Parliament, in the case of a seditious libel published by a member (Mr. Wilkes) against the opinion of Lord Camden and the other judges of the court of common pleas, and, as it will probably now be thought, since the party spirit of those times has subsided, with entire good sense and in furtherance of public justice. It would be monstrous that any member should protect himself from arrest or punishment for a libel, often a crime of the deepest malignity and mischief, while he would be liable to arrest for the pettiest assault


or the most insignificant breach of the peace.'

Cushing, in his treatise-first published in 1856-on the elements of the law and practice of legislative assemblies in the United States, declared (9th ed. 546) that the Commons never went 'the length of claiming any exemption from the operation of the criminal laws;' and the author closed a discussion of the cases to which the privilege of Parliament was applicable ( 559-563) 563) by expressing an opinion 'in favor of the board rule which withdraws the protection of parliamentary privilege from offenses and criminal proceedings of every description.' And, considering the privilege as affected by the Constitution of the United States and of the several states, he said:

'567. In the greater number of the constitutions it is expressly provided that membersshall be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and returning from the same, in all cases ex-
[207 U.S. 425, 445]
cept 'treason, felony, and breach of the peace.' This it will be recollected, is the form in which the privilege is stated by Sir Edward Coke, and in which it is usually expressed by the English writers on parliamentary law; and it was undoubtedly adopted in the constitutions as correctly expressing the parliamentary rule on the subject. The inaccuracy of the language has already been pointed out, and it has been shown that, in England, the exception embraces all criminal matters whatsoever, and, of course, includes many cases which do not fall within the denomination either of treason,

Biggs would not believe to the true; and the said Marion R.

of the said


the time and place of such subornation, had not been determined at the time of the conspiracy, except as might be inferred from a purpose to procure the persons to be suborned to come before the United States commissioner for the district of Oregon named in the indictment. It was not essential to the commission of the crime that in the minds of the conspirators the precise persons to be suborned, or the time and place of such suborning, should have been agreed upon; and as the criminality of the conspiracy charged consisted in the unlawful agreement to compass a criminal purpose, the indictment, we think, sufficiently set forth such purpose. The assignments of error which assailed the sufficiency of the indictment are therefore without merit.

Numerous exceptions wereculture act. Under that law an applicant for entry was obliged, among other things, in making his application to swear to his good faith and to the absence of speculative purpose, in the exact words of the statute now under consideration. But in the timber culture act, as in the timber and stone act, the requirement was not reimposed in respect to the final proof. In the cited case the entrymen, who had complied with the statute in making his application, had, between the date of the application and the making of final proof, disposed of his right, and the question was whether by so doing he had for-
[207 U.S. 425, 461]
feited his claim. In deciding adversely to the contention that he had, the court said (p. 516):

'But


as the law does not require affidavit before final certificate that no interest in the land has been sold, we perceive no reason why such contract as was found to exist by the supreme court of Oregon would vitiate the agreement to convey after the certificate is granted and the patent issued. If the entryman has complied with the statute and made the entry in good faith, in accordance with the terms of the law and the oath required of him upon making such entry, and has done nothing inconsistent with the terms of the law, we find nothing in the fact that, during his term of occupancy, he has agreed to convey an interest to be conveyed after patent issued, which will defeat his claim and forfeitin effect, assails the wisdom of Congress in omitting the requirement in the act under consideration, and affords no ground for inserting in the act requirements which Congress has, by express intendment, excluded therefrom. Basides, the weakness of the argument becomes apparent when it is borne in mind that the timber and stone act and the timber culture act were enacted by the same Congress and with only a few days' interval between the two.

It remains only to consider whether it was within the power of the Commissioner of the General Land Office to enact rules and regulations by which an entryman would be compelled
[207 U.S. 425, 462]
to do that at the final hearing which the act of Congress must be considered as having expressly excluded, in order


be construed as authorizing the Commissioner of the General Land Office to adopt rules and regulations for the enforcement of the statute, and cannot be held to have authorized him, by such an exercise of power, to virtually adopt rules and regulations destructive of rights which Congress had conferred. As, then, there was no requirement concerning the making in the final proof of an affidavit as to the particulars referred to, and as the entryman who had complied with the preliminary requirements was under no obligation to make such an affidavit, and had full power to dispose ad interim of his claim upon the final issue of patent, we think the motive of the applicant at the time of the final proof was irrelevant, even under the broadand that the applicant or applicants had not, directly or indirectly, made any agreement or contract in any way or manner by which the title to be acquired from the United States should enure, in whole or in part, to the benefit of any persons other than himself or herself?' and especially to the words therein, 'or some of the persons,' and also to the words, 'or at the time of making their depositions or sworn statements when they made their final proofs before the United States commissioner,' as misleading, and not the law, and applying to a matter not charged in the indictment, and variant from said indictment.

Sergio Ramos claims he will be 'back in no time' after the Real Madrid defender broke his nose in their derby draw with Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Zinedine Zidane's side had to play the whole of the second half without their captain as he was taken off at half-time after breaking his nose in a collision with Atletico's Lucas Hernandez. Following the goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, Ramos took to

Life expectancy on the rise for (rich) women

Global life expectancy increases for women, but researchers see a widening gap between rich and poor countries.

The good news is that worldwide, life expectancy is on the rise for women. The not-so-good news is that most of the gains have only been seen in wealthier countries.

According to the World Health Organization or WHO, life expectancy for women age 50 and older has improved on a global scale, but the gap between poor and rich countries is growing and could worsen without intervention.

The new study was one of the first to look at the causes of death for older women. Researchers found that around the world, the most common causes of death after age 50 are cancer, heart disease and stroke. Inwealthier countries, lots of progress has been made in terms prevention and treatment for these diseases. Fewer women aged 50 years and older in rich countries are dying from these diseases now than 30 years ago, and these improvements contributed most to increasing women's life expectancy at the age of 50.

But women in poorer countries are not benefiting from this progress. An older woman in Germany can now expect to live to 84; in Japan, expectancy is 88 years. In Mexico, life expectancy for women drops to 80. In South Africa, it's 73.

"The gap in life expectancy between such women in rich and poor countries is growing," according to the WHO study. There is a similar growing gap between the life expectancy of men over 50 in rich


Marketplace nears completion

California landlord reports attention from potential tenants and some ready to start the move-in process

The long, wet winter has taken only a small toll on construction of the completely renewed Willamette Marketplace. The first business is set to move in within a couple of weeks.

'We're looking to have all of the construction completed by the end of this month,' said Ernie Knodel, vice president for development at Venture Corp., owner of the center.

Legacy Health Systems is planning in about a week to take over most of the second and third floors of the building nearest the Les Schwab Tire Center.

'A number of the retail tenants will be starting their interior improvements at the end of the month,' Knodel said last week in a telephone interview fromhis office in the Bay Area of California. 'As they are completed, they will be opening.'

In addition, Pacific West Bank will be moving into its space just after Memorial Day weekend, Knodel said. That space is located in the remodeled building nearest Eighth Avenue and the entrance to Les Schwab.

Among the retail tenants that are already confirmed are Dola Nails (salon) and Fitness Together (gymnasium). They are slated for the ground floor of the three-story building.

In that same large building, there is space for several other tenants as well as a restaurant with outdoor dining patio.

Silk Cleaners will locate in the smaller building nearest the newly remodeled McMenamins Restaurant. Also available in that building is a unique space with a rotunda.

Gaining space in the building closest to 10th


Street is another location for the growing Rose's Restaurant and Bakery, while the other 2,500 square feet is currently unassigned.

Rose's flagship location is on N.W. 23rd in Portland, but other restaurants are located in Sherwood, Hillsboro and Vancouver, Wash.

The company recently moved its headquarters to Lake Oswego, and is expecting to open another restaurant in Lloyd Center in July and in the Willamette Marketplace around Labor Day.

'We're very excited to have Rose's coming into the shopping center,' said Knodel. 'The restaurant will be (visible from I-205) in the end cap of that building, with about 5,000 square feet of space and an outdoor patio area.'

Other improvements to the center include a new parking lot and a traffic light at 10th Street and Eighth Avenue/Court.

Barriers to completion on theoriginal schedule included the wet winter weather and unexpected boulders in the parking lot.

Much of the material recovered from the demolition of the previous center was recycled, including asphalt and concrete - which was ground on the site and used in building the sub-base for the new parking lot. The rest of the ground material was hauled to other nearby sites for similar use. Steel and copper also was extracted for reuse.

Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects has designed a shopping center that blends with other buildings in the area, Knodel said, and yet is distinctive.

'We're excited with the progress we're making on the center,' he said. 'We're getting a lot of attention on the center and a lot of inquiries from (potential) tenants, now that it is getting completed.'

Bulldogs take down Johnston City

The CWC Bulldogs had a meeting with the Johnston City Indians last Friday. But lightning in the area and a heavy downpour caused a rescheduling to Monday night.

The Bulldogs premiere on Monday night was to a standing room only Indian crowd, but CWC silenced them early. The Bulldogs won the game 42-12.

The field position game is important for success, and CWC was given good field position all night from Johnston City mental mistakes and penalties.

The Bulldogs hit the end zone first, with Ryan Farr taking a four-yard run in for six with 7:31 to go in the first. The two-point conversion run by Farr was good and CWC took an 8-0 lead.

In the following possession, Indian running back Jory Kee broke free of theBulldog defense and hit the afterburners, taking a 55-yard run to the house and cutting the Bulldog lead to 8-6.

The Bulldogs added another touchdown run, a 10-yard run by Dylan Rankin with 3:36 to go in the first. Farr added another two points and Carmi took a 16-6 lead into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, Chase Sailer introduced himself to the crowd.

Sailer kicked the quarter off with a 33-yard touchdown run with 11:49 on the clock. Sailer would add two more before halftime, a one-yard run plus a two-point conversion by Rankin at 7:42 and a two-yard run at 1:18.

The Bulldogs took a 36-6 lead into the half.

In the second half, the Bulldogs were content on draining the clock, but still playing solid defense.

Neither team scored in


the third quarter. Sailer scored his fourth rushing touchdown with 7:54 left to go in the fourth, an 11-yard run for a 42-6 lead.

Kee would run a four-yard run in for Johnston City with 1:30 left to go, getting the final points of the game.

The Bulldogs did surrender 219 yards on the ground, with Kee rushing for 97 yards on 10 carries. However, one of those carries was the breakthrough that gave him a 55-yard score.

Sailer led the Bulldog rushing attack with 13 carries for 107 yards. Rankin broke the century mark with 15 carries for 100-yards.

Sailer only passed the ball four times with two completions for 26 yards.

Jake Russell, Josh Burtis and Stephen Quitugua all had seven total tackles to lead the team on defense.

KEENE, NH-Host Keene State broke a 5-5 tie with three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and held on for an 8-7 victory over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's baseball team in the first game of a Little East Conference doubleheader at the Owl Sports Complex Friday. The Owls won the nightcap, 12-0 in seven innings, and swept the doubleheader.

Second baseman Keith Patnode broke the tie with a run-scoring double in the last of the seventh. Designated hitter Erik Bergstrom singled home another run, and first baseman Tyler Diprato singled home a third.

The Corsairs scored twice in the eighth on an RBI single by senior center fielder Jeff Macchi (Franklin, MA/Franklin HS) and a sacrifice fly by junior catcher Zak Talis (Lynnfield,
