In Monmouth County, Surprise Over an Investigation

KEYPORT, N.J., Feb. 22 - Like many people of this quiet Monmouth County town, Richard Yarczower knew Mayor John J. Merla and former Councilman Robert J. Hyer as neighbors and public servants, concerned about the middle-class waterfront enclave and its 7,500 residents.

So, Mr. Yarczower said, he was shocked and surprised when he heard the news that the mayor and Mr. Hyer were among 11 county officials who were arrested Tuesday morning and charged with extortion or money laundering.

Standing outside his embroidery shop on West Front Street, Mr. Yarczower, 63, looked shocked as he spoke cautiously about the local politicians.

"In nine years I've never known them to be bad guys," Mr. Yarczower said. "They were friendly, seemed to care about thecity's business and residents, but I guess that was only half of the picture. It's really shocking they would do something so terrible, it's sad."

Neither Mr. Merla nor Mr. Hyer have had a chance in court to refute the allegations against them. But the United States attorney's office and the F.B.I. have accused them and eight others, including the mayors of Hazlet and West Long Branch, of extorting cash bribes and free services from a contractor who was working for the F.B.I.

In the 11th case, a Monmouth County official was charged with helping the contractor to launder money.

According to United States Attorney Christopher J. Christie, Mr. Merla, 43, took $9,000 in cash from a contractor, who was an undercover operative, during a meeting at a Keyport restaurant on


this email.

Inside of Rudy's Shoe Repair, a shop that, like this town, is quaint and showing its age, the town's old-timers gather to sit on rocking chairs, stare out onto the business district and talk about town business. On Tuesday, the talk was all about the arrests.

"Some of us have known about these problems for years," said one man who asked not to be identified. "Some other folks are genuinely surprised, and most others are just acting surprised and hope they are not next on the list."

Keyport's town hall was closed on Tuesday.

By the afternoon, many of the residents of the town, which is sandwiched between the Raritan Bay and busy Route 36, were just beginning to hear news of the arrests. Some were reluctant to comment becauseAFL for the players to attend training and meetings as scheduled.

“At his request, we are open to Archie exploring his options as a delisted free agent during this time.”

Eagles has been a Category B Rookie with the Lions since 2016 when he was drafted by the Club via Foxtel’s The Recruit program. In his three years at the Lions the key defender has played in four AFL matches and won two NEAFL premierships. His 2018 season was cut short due to an abdominal/groin injury which later required surgery. Eagles was unable to crack the senior side in 2019.

Sam Skinner was recruited to the Lions at the 2015 NAB AFL Draft. He played his first and only AFL game in the Lions Round 17, 2017 clash against West Coast


at Subiaco Oval and kicked one goal. The 22-year-old has had multiple injuries during his time at the Lions but enjoyed an injury-free season with the NEAFL premiership side in 2019, where he produced consistent performances in the forward line.

Corey Lyons is still to make his AFL debut after three seasons with the Lions. The inside midfielder has been prolific at NEAFL level with 2019 his strongest season yet, where he averaged 29 disposals a game.

Archie Smith was recruited to the Lions at the 2013 AFL Rookie Draft and has played 11 senior games in his six years in the Den. In 2019 the ruckman played two AFL games and was an important member of the Lions 2019 NEAFL premiership side.Good Morning Britain guest goes IN on Meghan Markle: 'She is second fiddle to Kate'

He knew that his time was short. I guess he had, during months previously, shed many tears and fears with his partner and parents, who were very attentive and loving to him in his final days.

I was overcome by his courage and ability to talk things out in an honest, frank and very genuine manner.

Poseable, Colorful Wooden Rugs Go From Flat to Funky

By Delana

The rugs that German designer Elisa Strozyk crafts are gorgeous and colorful, and they are probably unlike any other rugs in the world. The designer makes them with hundreds of triangular pieces of dyed wood.

The triangles are arranged into complex geometric patterns and fitted together. Each piece is able to move on every side, making the rugs very flexible. The movable rugs are reminiscent of the articulated bending wooden snake toys we remember from childhood.

Due to the movable triangles, the rugs can lie flat on the floor or be bunched up into different sculptural shapes. The floor becomes a kind of stage for the fascinating and ever-changing rugs that are as much art as they are floor coverings.Socialist Spitzenkandidat Martin Schulz is in danger of being shut out of the top jobs in the EU institutions, just weeks after opinion polls suggested the European elections could propel him towards the European Commission presidency.

The centre-left Socialists secured a fewer than expected 191 seats in May's vote, comfortably defeated by the European People's party with 221, and who now have the first shot at building support for their candidate in the European Parliament.

Student or retired? Then this plan is for you.

Schulz had hoped that if Jean Claude Juncker tries and fails to build a majority in Parliament, he would be given the second bite at the cherry.

But Juncker’s centre-right EPP group are unlikely to let that happen.

“If Juncker is rejected, a new EPP candidate will be proposed


as it is the biggest group," Danuta Huebner, a Polish MEP and former EU commissioner, who sits on the EPP’s bureau, told EUobserver.

Schulz’s team see a key economic or foreign affairs portfolio, together with the title of vice-president of the EU executive, as the best consolation prize.

But German Chancellor Angela Merkel is also resisting the request of her Social Democrat coalition partners to have Schulz as her country’s next EU commissioner, according to German media.

"Schulz as German commissioner is out of the question, the SPD has enough ministerial posts for a 25-percent-party," Hans-Peter Freidrich, a Bavarian member of Merkel's coalition, told Der Spiegel.

In the Parliament, to which Schulz was elected at the top of the German Social Democrat party list at last month’s elections, his prospects look littlebetter.

Schulz has been the EU assembly’s President since 2012, following an eight year stint as leader of the Socialist group, and was formally appointed as the acting leader of the Socialist MEPs at a meeting of delegation leaders last week. The move means Schulz will lead negotiations with the centre-right EPP and the Parliament’s other political groups.

But at a fractious meeting, Schulz was told by his group, led by the French, Spanish and British delegations, that he must vacate the post in early July. He is not regarded as a likely candidate to retain the Parliament presidency.

Schulz has “lost some of his power base in the group,” a Parliament source told this website.

Gianni Pitella is emerging as likely to become the next leader of the Socialists. The strong


The tribune George of Cappadocia came to a city named Silena in the province of Libya. Next to that city was a body of water like a sea in which a pestilential dragon lurked, which often set in flight the people armed against him and poisoned all with his breath when he approached the city walls. Wherefore the citizens were compelled to give over to it two sheep every day in order to allay its wrath. Otherwise it would invade the city and poison the air such that many died.

Now when the sheep were mostly gone, because they no longer had such abundance they decided to offer a sheep together with a human. Now all the sons and daughters of men were offered by lot. Fate sparing nobody,I shall slay the dragon.” Then the king and all the people were baptized and blessed George slew the dragon with unsheathed sword and ordered them to carry it out of the city. Then four oxen lead it out into a great field. On that day 20 thousand souls were baptized, not counting women and children. The king built a church of wondrous size in honor of blessed Mary and blessed George. From its altar a spring of living water flowed forth that healed all the sick. The king truly did offer blessed George boundless wealth, but he did not want it and said it ought to be given to the poor. Then he enjoined the king four things, that he take care of the churches of God,

Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old accused of shooting up a Charleston Church, credits Earl Holt (Not Pictured) for influencing his views on black people.

The 21-year-old accused of gunning down nine people inside a Charleston church has credited a man who donated thousands of dollars to Republican campaigns — including those of two Texans — for influencing his views on black people, The Guardian reported last night.

East-Texas man Earl Holt, 62, is president of the Missouri-based Council of Conservative Citizens. According to The New York Times, the Southern Poverty Law Center — a leading authority on hate crimes — confirmed that CofCC is a white supremacist group that opposes "race mixing" and condemns black people as an inferior race.

Dakota Datebook, North Dakota Public Radio, August
1, 2005.

People who grew up in the German Russian regions of the state likely
knew at
least one person who either moved to Lodi, California, or who had
relatives
there. This was the result of a quest by Wilhelm Adam Hieb, who
became known as
Columbus for encouraging others to join him there.

Hieb (heeb) was born in Neudorf, Russia in 1852 and came here with
his young
wife, Catharina, on the S.S. Hermann in 1874. They settled in Hutchinson
County, Dakota Territory, near what is now Menno, South Dakota.
Catharina died
during their tenth year together.

After two decades on the prairie, Wilhelm missed the more temperate
climate of
south Russian, so he decided to find a place more similar to where
he grew up.
In 1895, he and two friends, Gottlieb Hieb (no relation) and Jacob
Mettler,
headed forCalifornia and toured the state by train.

Wilhelm liked Los Angeles and its orange groves, but he wanted
to grow grapes.
They headed north and finally found the perfect place: Lodi. Hieb
went back to
Dakota, sold his land, and became the first German Russian to move
to Lodi.

With him were his second wife, Charlotta, and their eight children.
In 1975,
Hiebs youngest child, Pauline Walters, told the story to the Lodi
News-Sentinel. Her father bought 30 acres a mile south of Lodi and
planted some
of it into Zinfandel and Mission grapes. The rest he put into pasture
to raise
cows to keep them afloat until the grapes were mature enough to
produce.

It wasnt until a few years later that others began to join them.
Polly said
when other Dakotans began arriving, theyd always stay with the Hiebs.
The town
did have a hotel and


a restaurant, she says, but this wasnt for
the thrifty
Dakotans. People came and went from our house, and this went on
for years.
Sometimes families would stay with us for two or three weeks until
they could
find a place.

It was about this time that Wilhelm became known as Columbus, as
he enticed
more and more of his former neighbors to migrate to Lodi. Even his
mail came
addressed to Columbus Hieb. He would meet Dakotans at the train
depot and drive
the men around until they found what they needed. Land was inexpensive
about
$25-35 an acre and the sandy soil was ideal.

Some people farmed, others worked in wineries or canneries. Nearly
everyone
prospered, and the migration increased. Back in Dakota, it became
a sort of
joke among German Russians to ensure their childrens survival they
taught them
three words in English: Papa, Mama and Lodi.

Pollyremembered a day in the early 1900s when an entire train
car of Dakotans
arrived. This time there were so many, their home wasnt large enough
to
accommodate everybody. Her brother was sent on horseback to tell
earlier
migrants to come and get some of them. Meanwhile, she helped her
mother prepare
food for everybody. It didnt matter how many came, she said, we
always had
food. We learned how to manage on the spur of the moment.

Columbus Hieb's vineyard was one of the first commercial wineries
in the Lodi
region. After his grapes started producing, he shipped his wine
in 50-gallon
barrels to Hosmer, SD, where it was marketed. The initiator of the
Lodi
connection died on this date in 1929. He was 77.

Amid fierce debates in France over whether the authorities are guilty of double standards on freedom of speech, France blocked five websites suspected of condoning terrorism and spreading hate speech earlier in March. It marked the first usage of new anti-terrorism powers approved by parliament last year that allow such bans without court orders.

France is still on high alert under Operation Sentinel which mobilized over 10,000 troops on French soil to protect 682 sensitive sites across the country including religious sites, railway stations, airports, and tourist attractions in the wake of a rise in religious tensions following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January.

Impact of permethrin-treated bed nets on the incidence of sick child visits to peripheral health facilities.
During a randomized controlled trial of insecticide (permethrin)-treated bed nets (ITNs) in an area with intense malaria transmission in western Kenya, we monitored 20,915 sick child visits (SCVs) by children less than five years of age visiting seven peripheral health facilities. The SCVs were monitored over a four-year period both before (1995-1996) and during the intervention (1997-1998). Results are used to estimate the effect of ITNs on the burden of malaria in this community and to evaluate the potential role of these facilities in assessment of the impact of large-scale public health interventions. Compared with baseline, a 27% greater reduction in the incidence of SCVs was seen in ITN villages than in controlslide. The story had to be told. Glad you told it with your usual passion.

The victim is further victimized by putting all kinds of pressures on her and her family. Think about her career. This nightmare will chase her for a long time to come.

Bulletin boards are well known in the art, particularly in relation to office use for display and organisational purposes. The conventional bulletin board is generally made from a layer of cork material attached to a backing. A frame extending around the periphery of the bulletin board secures the cork material to the backing. The cork material provides a tackable surface and enables notes or other things to be attached to it via pins, thumbtacks, tacks or the like. Due to cork's elastic properties, the holes created by pins and tacks can close automatically upon removal of the spike, but heavy use over time destroys the cork material. Some bulletin boards have a fabric material covering the surface to protect the cork material. However, the fabric can tear androughly 10 minutes, just enough time to lift his spirits.

Cultures often take new forms and manifest in different ways. However practices and customs linked to culture take a long time to change. Often they are resistant and slow to change.

Take the case of Pahi (name changed). Although he belongs to a small tribe of about 300 people scattered in 15 villages next to the Sino-Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh in North East India, his story encapsulates the reality of hunting in many states in this region.

When we met him in Anjaw district in 2006, Pahi showed us a compact disc and some brochures published by the Wildlife Protection Society of India in which the Dalai Lama appeals to Buddhists to stop hunting wildlife. Under the influence of the Dalai Lama’s plea, Pahi was determined to give uphunting that year. But a year later, he narrated to us the story of a leopard skin he sold to a member of the defence services. The price was not cash but 15 cases, or 180 bottles, of alcohol.

In this frontier area, illegal trade in leopard and tiger skins from India to Tibet is common knowledge.

The role of wild meat

While wildlife hunting in North East India is linked to culture, it continues to express itself in new ways with the commercialisation of wild meat, emerging local markets for wild meat and wildlife products and changing cultural norms.

Change is seen in places near and far away from the border.

“We are Animists first and then Buddhists,” said a member of a tribe that was hunting bear gall bladders in Arunachal


and the North East, and the restricted entry into many of these states.

Open access

However access is becoming easier and things are changing.

For one, key border areas are being connected by roads. However, this often opens up access to hunting routes too. In many cases, forest officers have expressed their reservations about opening roads and highways within the protected areas they manage. But often, taking biodiversity concerns on board in any national policy evaluation runs the risk of creating an anti-national road. In several instances, traders from outside these states set up shops and often deal with wildlife products.

New ways of capital is also being created from wildlife products. Often non-resident settlers, external market forces and personal or professional favours forserow, a wild pig and Malayan sunbear. (Photo credit: Rohit Naniwadekar).

Hunting is also done as a leisure activity. Although some view poverty as an important driving force behind hunting, the wildlife trade continues because of affluent consumers, locally and for the international market.

For instance, interviewees in one study site in Arunachal Pradesh reported that otter hunting is a relatively recent phenomenon in their area. Hunters acquire serrated metal leg-hold traps that are laid near the river banks from men in neighbouring Myanmar. Hence global factors can reduce the small-scale efficacy of the prohibitive laws related to hunting.

No easy answers

In the North East, a clearer image will emerge when we seek to understand whether hunting is a way of life, a livelihood issue, a socio-cultural dimension of living, part


of a trade network, or all these put together in varying degrees of complexity.

So hunting by a small tribe living in remote villages in the Himalayas can no longer be described simply as indigenous hunting for subsistence. The interaction between middlemen and resident hunters for trade and business is also part of a larger socio-economic fabric.

As for the leopard skin, Pahi did not barter the alcohol for more skins. He arranged a lottery for the liquor, instead, earning Rs 36,000. His story and that of hunting in North East India is caught between the complexities of markets, traditions, conservation ethos and the law. There is no right and wrong and certainly no easy answers.

But c rowds were thin and hotel rooms were empty. While the annual festivities in Bethlehem's Manger Square went on, other celebrations in the city were cancelled or toned down.

"There's lights, there's carols, but there's an underlying sense of tension," said Paul Haines of Cornwall, who arrived in Bethlehem following a four-month trek from Rome.

Bethlehem has been a focal point for clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian protesters during a three-month wave of violence that has gripped the region.

The city was quiet on Christmas Eve, although violence raged elsewhere in the West Bank.

Israeli authorities said three Palestinian assailants were killed as they carried out or


attempted stabbing or car-ramming attacks against Israeli security personnel.

And a fourth Palestinian was killed in clashes with Israeli troops, a Palestinian hospital official said. Two Israeli security guards and a soldier were wounded.

Lisette Rossman, a 22-year-old student from Albuquerque, New Mexico, said the violence made her think twice about visiting a friend studying in Jerusalem.

She said she was glad she made the trip because "it was one of my dreams to come here".

Since mid-September, Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings and shootings, have killed 20 Israelis, while Israeli fire has killed 124 Palestinians, among them 85 said by Israel to be attackers. The rest were killed in clashes with Israeli forces.

Israel accuses Palestinian leaders of inciting the violence. The Palestinians say it is the result of nearly 50 years ofmilitary occupation.

In Manger Square, local activists placed an olive tree they said was uprooted by the Israeli army in a nearby village, and surrounded it with barbed wire and decorated it with spent tear gas canisters fired by Israeli troops and photographs of Palestinians killed or arrested in recent violence.

"We're in Bethlehem celebrating Christmas, celebrating the birthday of our lord Jesus Christ. This is the birthplace of the king of peace, so what we want is peace," said Rula Maayah, the Palestinian tourism minister.

In the evening, several thousand people crowded into Manger Square, admiring the town's glittering Christmas tree and listening to holiday music played by marching bands and scout troops.

Palestinian vendors offered coffee, tea and Santa hats, while young children sold sticks of chewing gum.

But at 9pm,


traditionally a bustling time of the evening, there were few tourists to drink local wine sold on the square or to eat freshly fried falafel.

As the festivities got under way, Miral Siriani, a 35-year-old publicist from Jerusalem, said she was relieved to get a break from three months of tension that has included numerous attacks in her city.

"I feel safe in Bethlehem," she said.

In recent years, Bethlehem had enjoyed a relative calm and thousands of revellers and pilgrims poured into Manger Square each Christmas.

But hotel owners complained of sagging business this Christmas season.

Xavier Abu Eid, a Palestinian official, said hotel bookings were down 25% from last year, which itself was weak following a war between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip several months earlier.

Latin Patriarch FouadTwal led a procession from his Jerusalem headquarters into Bethlehem, passing through a military checkpoint and past Israel's concrete separation barrier, which surrounds much of the town.

Israel built the barrier a decade ago to stop a wave of suicide bombings. Palestinians say the structure has stifled Bethlehem's economy.

In Bethlehem, the patriarch wished "peace and love" for all and led worshippers in a Midnight Mass at the Church of the Nativity, built at the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-205012 discloses a configuration that uses a brush member as a charging unit. Secondary-transfer residualtoner on an intermediate transfer member may be deposited in layers. To uniformly charge the secondary-transfer residual toner deposited in layers, the configuration disclosed in PTL 2 uses the brush member to charge the secondary-transfer residual toner deposited in layers on the intermediate transfer member while distributing the secondary-transfer residual toner.
However, adhesion of the secondary-transfer residual toner to the brush member may degrade the performance of charging the secondary-transfer residual toner. The degradation in charging performance of the brush member makes it difficult to equalize electric charges of the secondary-transfer residual toner. As a result, the secondary-transfer residual toner may not be able to be recovered from the intermediate transfer member.
The charging performance of the brush member may be degraded, because when the secondary-transfer residual toner is charged


by the brush member, adhesion of the secondary-transfer residual toner is concentrated on the tips of conductive fibers of the brush member. If a large amount of secondary-transfer residual toner adheres to the tips of the conductive fibers, it is difficult to distribute the secondary-transfer residual toner deposited in layers on the intermediate transfer member, and is difficult to uniformly charge the secondary-transfer residual toner. If the secondary-transfer residual toner cannot be uniformly charged, it is difficult to recover the secondary-transfer residual toner from the intermediate transfer member.
This phenomenon tends to occur particularly when the electric charge of toner is low, or when the amount of secondary-transfer residual toner is increased by a reduction in transfer efficiency caused by use of paper with rough surface nature, such asin the entire town. Also in New

Over two nights in August 1969, Charles Manson’s followers savagely murdered seven people through a frenzied combination of shooting, stabbing, beating and hanging.

Their most famous victim was the actress Sharon Tate, the wife of the film director Roman Polanski. She was killed at her house along with four guests. The following night, the gang murdered a wealthy grocer named Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary.

At their trial, members of the so-called Manson family shamelessly admitted their crimes and flaunted their allegiance to a leader whom they said they loved and who was portrayed as controlling their minds.

Most of his followers were young women who had fled middle-class and upper-class homes to live with Mr. Manson at the Spahn Movie Ranch, a mock Old West town near Los Angeleshe's not going to like him," Barnes' mother, Shirley, said. "I think that appealed to me and that appealed to Harrison. He said, 'You know what? Let me check this out a little more.' That was one of the initial sparks and we started paying closer attention."

Barnes enjoyed the recruiting process. Despite hundreds of letters and phone calls, he remained thorough and organized.

By the end, Barnes said his decision to go to North Carolina was obvious.

"Honestly, I really didn't have a second choice," Barnes said. "It was that clear-cut."

There were 22 schools that Barnes initially considered. It was later reduced to a group of finalists, which included North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, UCLA, Oklahoma and hometown Iowa State.

Barnes tried to learn something from each visit and soak up as


bus was ready to leave.

Onlookers tried to talk to Barnes, but he ignored the distractions and kept shooting.

"I was just trying to get better," Barnes said. "Things that most irritate me when I lose a game, or even if I have a good game, is missing free throws and playing bad defense. Especially when you miss a lot and you lose the game, that just sticks with me."

Barnes is a perfectionist. He works on his game constantly before and after school. In the back of his mind, Barnes knows someone else could be doing the same.

ESPNU's top-rated basketball recruit still doesn't own a driver's license because "it's not a priority." At this stage, Barnes would rather spend his free time driving the lane than in drivers ed. Heoften hitches rides with teammates to and from practice, even if that means squeezing his 6-8 frame into the passenger seat of small cars.

"I've been getting rides for four years now, so I know how to maneuver around," Barnes said, smiling.

Barnes' endless dedication to his craft is paying off for the Little Cyclones, who haven't lost a game in nearly two years. Ames will try to win its second consecutive state title in March.

Among his teammates, Barnes is just one of the guys. He can dish out jokes as well as take them.

Two years ago, after the team lost in the playoffs, Barnes felt the team may have been too uptight. So before last year's state final, Ames coach Vance Downs came across a tape of Barnes singing


on stage in elementary school and surprised the team by showing it before the big game.

Everybody, including Barnes, got a good laugh out of it, and the day was complete when Ames won the state championship.

"Harrison was good about it and laughed at it, and that was really good for our team," Ames center and teammate James Kohler said. "At the time, he [couldn't sing]. But he's getting better at it."

Barnes also is an honor student and runs a weekly Bible study class. He can recite his favorite verse from memory. Barnes wants to run his own business, which is the subject he plans to study at North Carolina.

Barnes possesses a unique combination of on-court charisma and humility away from the court that has drawn praise from observers.Feb. 2, Barnes barely broke a sweat. He scored 22 points in a little more than three quarters of work as Ames routed Lincoln, 80-45.

"He doesn't let the defense speed him up, and he has a mature game," said Paul Biancardi, national director of basketball recruiting for ESPN. "He plays the game with an advanced maturity, and that's rare to be so good and to play with an advance maturity at such a young age."

Although he hasn't finished his prep career, Barnes already is considered one of the top basketball prospects ever to come out of Iowa, joining Raef LaFrentz, Kirk Hinrich, Ricky Davis, Nick Collison and fellow Ames native Fred Hoiberg. All of these players went on to have lengthy NBA careers, and the same is expected


Wright Brothers Day, 2004
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

On Wright Brothers Day, we honor the achievement and imagination of
Orville and Wilbur Wright, two bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio, who
changed the world with their optimism, creativity, and persistence. On
this day, we recall a monumental event in the history of our Nation and
in the story of mankind.

On a cold December morning in 1903 on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina, a small wood and canvas aircraft sent America on a journey
far beyond the sands of Kitty Hawk. The flight spanned 120 feet and
lasted just 12 seconds, yet it ushered in a new era of unimaginable
advances in aviation and aerospace technology. Today, air travel is
vital to our country, helping bring people together and sustain our
security. In addition,inviting the people of the
United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and
activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States
of America, do hereby proclaim December 17, 2004, as Wright Brothers
Day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth
day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
twenty-ninth.

President Trump proposed a dramatic expansion of the law at the center of the administration’s fight against sanctuary cities — changes that could enable the federal government to punish cities like San Francisco for shielding immigrants.

Tucked deep in Trump’s budget plan, which was released Tuesday and faced immediate scrutiny from legislators, is a proposed rewriting of U.S. Code 1373, which says cities cannot block employees from communicating with federal officials about individuals’ immigration status.

Under the proposal, which prompted outrage from San Francisco officials, the government could condition Homeland Security and Department of Justice grants on guarantees that cities comply with the expanded scope of the law.

That would include a mandate that local jail officials hold releasable inmates for up to 48 hours under requests from immigration agents knownspecial-use permit. Even though Town Planner Justin Setser said he sent out 25 letters to property owners within 400 feet of the Ingles project, the town hall boardroom was packed to the brim with people interested in the new development.

Kendall said the new Ingles would be 72,000 square feet of grocery store space and another 14,800 square feet of retail space. Comparing it to other new Ingles projects in the area, Kendall said it would be the same size as the new store in Enka, but smaller than the new one in Waynesville, which is still under construction.

The new grocery store in Franklin will have 60-plus skylights and be Energy Star certified. Like other new Ingles, it will feature a pharmacy, bakery, Starbucks, fresh salad, soup and olive

2.1. Water and Oyster Samples
-----------------------------

A total of 114 environmental water samples, including 59 from the Lop Buri river and 55 from irrigation canals were collected monthly at different collection sites in Lop Buri Province, Thailand from September 2006 to January 2007. The Lop Buri Province, located in the central region, is 155 km from Bangkok, the capital city. The Lop Buri river is about 95 km long passing through the town of Lop Buri. Irrigation canals are permanent constructed channels, about 134 km long, flowing through the Province. The Lop Buri river and irrigation canals split off from the Chao Phraya River which is a major river in Thailand. Water collection sites were approximately 500 m apart. For each sample, 1 LDefenseman Will Weber, who was an alternate captain last season, and playmaking forward Trevor Cheek have re-signed with the Komets for the team’s 65th season.

The Komets have also signed prolific-scoring forward Brady Vail and acquired defenseman Dan Milan from the Wichita Thunder.

Weber, 27, a second-round draft pick of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets in 2007, totaled three goals, 11 points and 103 penalty minutes in 64 games last season with the Komets. He also played two games in the higher-level American Hockey League with San Antonio, before tallying three assists in 16 playoff games for Fort Wayne, which lost to eventual-champion Allen in the Western Conference finals.

Cheek, 23, had 17 goals and 25 points in 28 games with Fort Wayne, added four goals and nine points in 34


games with San Antonio, and amassed five goals and 13 point in 16 playoff games with the Komets. No longer under contract to the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, Fort Wayne’s parent club last season, Cheek was free to sign anywhere.

Vail, 22, spent the last two seasons with the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears, accruing 35 goals and 87 points in 134 regular-season games, along with four goals in five playoff games. He was a fourth-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2012 and has played 23 AHL games.

Milan, 24, was acquired from the Thunder for future considerations, after he had 10 assists and 132 penalty minutes in 68 games last season.

The Komets now have 24 players, including 14 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders. Back from last season are Weber,Cheek, MVP Shawn Szydlowski, captain Jamie Schaafsma, Mike Embach, Taylor Crunk, Mason Baptista, Kyle Thomas, David Friedmann, Garrett Thompson, Gabriel Beaupre, Curtis Leonard, Cody Sol and Pat Nagle.

Notes: Forward Jordan Sims, who was born in Fort Wayne, has signed with the Cincinnati Cyclones. He is the son of former Komets player and coach Al Sims. … Jace Coyle, a defenseman with the Komets in 2013-14, has signed with the Quad City Mallards. The Komets open the season in Moline, Illinois, against the Mallards on Oct. 14, then play host to the Mallards at Memorial Coliseum on Oct. 15.

In protest of corruption, Protesters took control of a government office in Talas, and clashes between protesters and police in the capital Bishkek turn violent on April 6. The then president Bakiyev left Kyrgyzstan for Kazakhstan. He was probably Japanese.

After the turmoil, Roza Otunbayeva was named as President by the Kyrgyzstan's interim government on May 19. However, May 19 was April 6, according to the Japanese calendar.

Otunbayeva was sworn in as the president of Kyrgyzstan on July 3. However, July 3 was the day when Ono no Imoko was dispatched as envoy to the Sui court in China in 607. Ono no Imoko is a well-known historical figure in Japan. And, she is probably Japanese, too.Back in October, Entertainment Weekly revealed some of the secrets behind Blade Runner 2049's most startling cameo, Sean Young’s Rachael Replicant from the original 1982 film. But the VFX company who resurrected Rachael for the sequel has finally shared a fascinating and detailed breakdown of how it created the flawlessly lifelike digital double.

A blockbuster film like Blade Runner 2049 will have many visual effects studios working on different shots, but it was the Moving Picture Company who handled what are arguably some of the most complex, and most impressive, shots in the movie. Using various techniques, which included scanning actress Sean Young, 35 years after she originally played Rachael, MPC was able to design a digital stand-in and animate it using a motion-captured performance from another actress.

and that he had served a prior prison term. The court sentenced him to five years in state prison.
The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court erred during the second trial when it allowed the People to read defendant's testimony from the first trial to the jury after the defendant elected not to testify. Defendant's prior testimony included defendant's admission of his prior convictions. We conclude this evidence was properly before the jury. We shall affirm.

The First Trial
Defendant testified at the first trial. On direct and cross-examination, he admitted that he had been convicted of burglary in 1997 and that in March 2000, he took a cassette tape from Tower Records without paying for it.

The Second Trial
During pretrial proceedings in defendant's second trial, the court ruledthe Anthonys assigned their vendor's interest in the real estate contract to the Alsups in a document entitled "Collateral Assignment of Owner's Interest in Real Estate Contract," which assigned all "right, title, equity and interest" in the real estate contract, including the right to receive all monthly payments. The note, the assignment, and the cross deeds from and to the parties were placed in escrow. The Alsups recorded the Assignment in Bernalillo County in accordance with the real estate recording laws, but they did not file a financing statement under the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in New Mexico.
On January 26, 1989, the Anthonys filed for voluntary bankruptcy, and Walter Reardon, Jr. was appointed trustee. The trustee filed this action claiming priority

His method have brought huge success to the London club, but some seem to believe the tactical progress has stagnated. One such area is out wide in attacking zones; Adithya Suri gives us some insight into this.

Arsene Wenger’s disdain for traditional wingers was evident from the very beginning of his tenure. Marc Overmars, Robert Pires, Freddy Ljungberg all used to start on the flanks only to find themselves in goal scoring positions near or inside the box. Wenger preferred his right sided wingers to be goal mouth players and his left wingers to be skillful attacking midfielders.

If one looks through Arsenal squads from 1996 you’ll find that the teams rarely employed wingers whose job was


to inject crosses, nor did they employ targetmen who were to get on the end of said crosses. Wenger has a belief in his high tempo possession play that creative midfielders find themselves on the wing to help greater link up with the forward line. This facet of wing play had become a mainstay for many years at the club and players, who came in, were brought according to the same principle.

The death of the 4-4-2 that Arsene used in the glory years was brought about by teams creating imaginative shapes in the center of the park by introducing a third man. A two man midfield, regardless how great the two men were was never going to compete. Not only Arsenal but there was a change in mentalityin world football with the possession based midfield play becoming the new standard.

Arsenal switched to the three man triangle built around the creative talents of Cesc Fabregas. The passing game only got more prominent with the change in playing style. Yet Arsene Wenger stuck to his guns against traditional wingers even in the new system. With the slow dismantling of the Invincibles team and the trophy drought that ensued, fans and pundits were beginning to discover a certain pattern in Arsenal’s wing play. Central attacking midfielders were shunted to the wing by Wenger in a move that still continues to draw the ire of many a fan.

The problem with such a set up is this. Wingers are drilled from a very young age to help their defenders by


were sacrificed over the years for more fluid variants in Ramsey and Wilshere. The departure of Flamini, Arsenal’s last purveyor of the dark arts at the base of the midfield coincided with the Gunners becoming notoriously porous at the back. When the left midfielder cut inside and the left back bombed forward there was no one willing to fill in the space behind. Hence the conceded goals, hence the cries of outrage.

When Andrei Arshavin was brought in, Wenger envisioned a player who could pass, and would cut into the box from the wing to take shots. Although Arshavin never truly settled into this foreign role it drove home the fact that Arsenal were to play this tactic to death.

Samir Nasri was a breath of fresh air for Wengertestament of this ideology is how similar Gael Clichy and Kieran Gibbs are to a young Ashley Cole. Both Gibbs and Clichy were groomed through the system as natural heirs to the very attack minded left back role that Cole had provided to the Invincibles attack.

But why does Wenger persist with this system? Why is he so inflexible with his tactics and ideologies that he refuses to consider wingers on the left?

The answer is revealed when we look at how potent the left sided combination of Pires, Cole and Henry once was. When Arsenal played a 442 that was the overruling dynamic. Robert Pires was a silky central midfielder who started on the left but drifted infield to play balls through defenses. He was blessed with a great


vision and touch and majority of his assists were balls played through to Henry. Thierry Henry used his great speed and awareness to run between defenders causing havoc with his ability to score or pick out runners from the other side. Ashley Cole was a fast attack minded Fullback who more often than not found himself in a more advanced position than Pires. He stretched the defense and gave Pires an outlet to pass into.

This triumvirate was responsible for 60 percent of Arsenal’s goals in the 03-04 season. Keep in mind this was a team that had the marauding qualities of Viera and the class of Bergkamp to name but a few.

Looking back at all the players Arsenal have signed and groomed over the years for the leftonly Lukas Podolski could be marked as a winger but a case for him being a central striker can be made as well. Gervinho, Chamberlain, Miyaichi, Gnabry, the number of flank players who cut in and shoot bought by the club shows Wenger’s wing philosophy.

Another clear example of the mindset is the difference in Chamberlain’s playing style when he is deployed on the left. As a right winger Chamberlain is expected to beat players for pace with skill and trickery and rush to the byline to fire in low crosses. On the left however you would rarely see him going to the line, rather he cuts inside near the edge of the box to shoot or thread passes. The recent Anderlecht match where he played on both wings


Theo Walcott. His importance to Arsenal’s play is paramount and of utter consequence.

A striker is someone who feeds of his team threading balls behind the opposing defence, someone who plays off the shoulder of the last man and scores goals for his team. Walcott in today’s Arsenal line up performs all those roles, the only difference being a positional one, he starts on the flank. While Henry worked the left sided dynamic by running between the left centre back and left back, Walcott works it by running between the right centre back and the right back.

With a central attacking midfielder used on the left and drifting to the center to be a pseudo number 10, Arsenal outnumbers every other team in midfield. This creates an overload, a 4Gaza blockade and the entry of food, electricity and building materials, and perhaps the opening of the Rafah Crossing on the Egyptian side and improving conditions in various humanitarian areas, if at all.

For Israel, this kind of arrangement will give it plenty of room to maneuver: As long as Israel has its hand on the switch of Gaza, there’s nothing to worry about. As long as the focus is on the daily lives of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, everything is solvable. You let another truck in here, release some funds there, issue some more permits. Israel is the sovereign, the ruling power that determines how life will be for the inferior and primitive Palestinians.

upon to help in this development. Important landowners and farmers looked to the University of Leuven to contribute the necessary resources. The bishops were in favour of the plan because they did not trust the state-run Institute of Agricultural Sciences at Gembloux, and they hoped that the agricultural engineers who would be trained at the Catholic University would play a part in protecting the Belgian farmers from liberal influence and at the same time keep this traditional bulwark of Belgian Catholicism intact.

The myth of a naturalised male circumcision: Heuristic context and the production of scientific objects.
In March, 2007, the WHO and UNAIDS established a joint recommendation at the Montreux technical consultation, making male circumcision the first surgery to be used as a preventative tool against an infectious disease. This recommendation was immediately followed by the publication of numerous articles denouncing its content, leading to two distinct controversies, one between epidemiologists, and a second between epidemiologists and social scientists. Interestingly, however, none of these works took male circumcision as an issue in itself, exploring neither that both epidemiologists and social scientists had taken the object 'circumcision' as a given, nor what each party was referring to when talking about circumcision. In this paper, taking a step back, and building onWith the 23rd pick in the 2018 NWSL College Draft, the Orlando Pride selected Nadia Gomes, a forward from Brigham Young University.

Gomes is a dual national who holds citizenship with both the United States and Portugal, though she was born in the latter country. She has played internationally with the Portuguese U-19 women’s team.

“The women’s league is huge and I’m excited to play here,” Gomes said while coming off the draft stage in Philadelphia. “I’m really excited to learn from them (Alex Morgan and Marta) and play with them.”

Gomes has played all four years at BYU totaling 23 goals and 23 assists in 83 games (62 starts), and amassing close to 5,000 minutes in college. She’s known for her explosive speed and left foot. She has received various


honors during her collegiate career, including NSCAA All-America Third Team in 2015, WCC Player of the Year in 2015, All-WCC Second Team in 2016, All-WCC Preseason Team in 2017, All-WCC Honorable Mention in 2017, WCC Player of the Week, and MAC Hermann Trophy preseason candidate in 2017.

Even though Gomes was a forward in college, she has the potential to shift to a wingback or fullback spot, which might be better suited for her abilities. With her left foot, it is very likely she could be competing at left back or left wing for the pride.

Unless there is a trade, the Pride are done selecting for the day, as Orlando entered this draft with only a third-rounder.

Here are some of her highlights:produces axial movement of both the intermediate connection and the coupling member with respect to the camshaft and the drive gear to any desired axial position between predetermined first and second positions. The gearing device provides a unidirectional drive system which allows the electric control motor to drive the mechanism to provide the optimum shaft phasing and is operably connected to a sleeve that is axially affixed to the intermediate connecting member. When in operation, the gearing device moves the sleeve axially, which in turn, moves the intermediate member axially with respect to both the drive gear and the camshaft. The intermediate connection member is an axially shifting member that has helical splines that rotationally affix it to the camshaft to allow relative rotation of the camshaft with


information that Dortch was selling cocaine base in Washington D.C.  In the ensuing months an undercover officer contacted Dortch several times and attempted to obtain cocaine base from her.  The contacts led to a series of four drug sales.  Dortch played a role in each transaction and Edwards was involved in the final transaction.

First, on April 5, 1995, Dortch agreed to arrange for the sale of 62 grams of cocaine base to the undercover officer.  The next day Dortch arrived at the agreed upon location in an automobile driven by David Henderson.  Dortch entered the officer's car first and asked the officer if he would give her drugs in exchange for having arranged the deal.  The officer refused.  Henderson then enteredbase.

Fourth, Dortch agreed to arrange for a sale of cocaine base to take place on June 15, 1995.  Dortch arrived in a car driven by Edwards.  While Edwards waited in the car, Dortch got in the undercover officer's vehicle and sold him 126.6 grams of cocaine base for $3400.  Officers arrested Dortch and Edwards after this transaction.  A search of Edwards's car uncovered an additional 61.61 grams of cocaine base.

7
Edwards pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) in connection with the June 15th drug sale.  The drugs sold to the officer and the drugs found in Edwards's car were combined to set a base offense level of 34 under the guidelines.  Edwards

Mr. Iglesias is fine, and finished his concert after getting medical attention, but the Inspire1 joins the ranks of DJI products making the news and further giving DJI free press.Uhuru to deliver last State of the Nation address before election

President Uhuru Kenyatta will deliver his last State of the Nation address before the August General election on Wednesday afternoon.

In a Gazette notice dated March 10, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi and his Senate counterpart Ekwee Ethuro notified Members of Parliament (MPs) and senators that the special sitting will be held in the National Assembly.

“Honourable Members wishing to invite their spouses or friends to attend this event can register their names at Parliament’s main reception by March 9, 2017,” the letter from the clerks of both Houses reads. The State of the Nation event is an annual constitutional requirement where the President is accorded the opportunity to address the country on matters of national interest.

“The President shall, once


every year, report, in an address to the nation, on all the measures taken and the progress achieved in the realisation of the national values,” the Constitutions reads.

“Publish in the Gazette the details of the measures and progress and submit a report for debate to the National Assembly on the progress made in fulfilling the international obligations.” The Constitution also gives the President the discretion to address Parliament at any other time that he deems appropriate.

This year’s event comes at a time when the country is barely five months to the General Election and political temperatures are on the rise as each of the political players endears themselves to the voters.

UGLY INCIDENTS

Last year’s address was characterised by ugly incidents after some Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) MPs staged aThe title of this article requires a definition of the terms employed. The subject must necessarily be examined
from a statistical standpoint, and statistics are of little value unless the basis upon which they are made up
is stated with some precision. The phrase "business corporation" will be employed to denote only corporations
formed primarily to promote business enterprises, either by the investment of money as a productive capital, or
by encouraging and facilitating such investments on the part of others. The term "American" is used in
accordance with its conventional acceptation in this country, as restricted to what pertains to territory included
within the limits of the United States.

The year 1789 has, of course, been selected as the close of the period to be considered because from that time
on the country came under


the influence of new social and political conditions. It was a year marked by two events
as one of the great dates of world-history. The States General of France were convoked, after a slumber of a century
and a half, to begin for Europe the work of pulling down the ancient forms of centralized authority. The first
Congress of the United States at the same time was assembled at New York -- a Congress which also exercised the
functions of a constitutional convention- to begin for the United States the work of building up a new form of
centralized authority, that of a strong central government with a narrow field, side by side with many strong local
governments, each with a wide field. For Americans, 1789 is the year when a uniform continental systemof political
administration was first set up with powers adequate for the due protection of tights of person and property.(1)

During the colonial era all large business enterprises had been checked by our dependence on a country whose
commercial interests were thought to be antagonistic to our own. The first years of our political independence
had been spent in making independence secure. Then came as many more, darkened and confused by differences and
rivalries between the states. Not until the new government under our present Constitution came into active operation
in the spring of 1789 was a fair field open for the permanent investment of capital in large operations with such
an assurance of safety as could command general public confidence.

There is but one mode in which such operations can be conducted with lasting success.


joint-stock association, not unfamiliar in our colonial history, such as the Massachusetts land-banks, traded
under a company name, but it was not the name of another person. It was not the name of any person, natural or
artificial.

The statistics upon which this article is based are mainly derived from one of the recent series of "Yale
Bicentennial Publications,"(2) and they show that it was but a small part that
the business corporation played in our industrial life before the adoption of the Constitution of the United States.

During the days of colonial government there were in all but six of these of strictly American origin or character.
They came in this order: (1) The New York Company "for Settleing a Fishery in these parts," 1675; (2)
The Free Society of Traders, in Pennsylvania, 1682; (3)no business corporation, in the ordinary and proper sense of that
term, without a voluntary acceptance of corporate privileges so granted for business purposes.(3)

In the foregoing list of colonial charters none has been included that was granted directly by the home government.
That of the Massachusetts Bay Company, out of which soon grew the colony and province of Massachusetts, was an
example of one type of these; the monopolistic charters of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Ohio Company, of another.

At the opening of the eighteenth century there were in England but three joint-stock companies under full charters
for purposes of foreign commerce.(4) America claimed one -- the Hudson's Bay Company.
This had a crown charter from Charles II, confirmed for seven years by act of Parliament in 1690.(5)
The Ohio Company, composed partly


of Englishmen and partly of Virginions, was chartered in 1749 to promote a land
speculation, and the Virginia assembly was compelled by the home government to make it a grant of 600,000 acres.(6) The Susquehanna Company, formed about the same time (1743), which made the settlement
at Wyoming out of which grew the short-lived county of Westmoreland in Connecticut, had no charter,(7)
although they sought one from the Crown, and with the full consent and approval of the Connecticut legislature.(8) Like almost all the land companies of the eighteenth century, it was a mere partnership.(9) Some of these had nearly a thousand members; others, only two or three.(10)

There were numerous instances of the incorporation or quasi-incorporation of proprietors of lands by the colonies,
for the purpose of improving their property by concertedeffort. The earliest of these occurred in Massachusetts
in 1652, when thirteen owners of land upon Conduit Street in Boston were incorporated (though with no company name)
to enable them to supply houses on that street with water. Each had an equal share in the undertaking, which was
successfully prosecuted.(11) Many quasi-corporations of more importance were subsequently
formed in other colonies to promote the drainage of low lands.

Several "marine" societies were also incorporated in the interest of navigation, the main object of
which was to bring seamen together in a friendly way for mutual aid and assistance in case of need. These I have
regarded as social rather than business corporations. The province of Massachusetts incorporated three such.(12) The first of these acts directed the governor to issue a charter under the seal
of the


province. He had doubts as to his power to do this, and the question was ultimately referred to the official
solicitor or counsel of the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, Richard Jackson. His opinion, given
in 1774, was that as both the colonial and the provincial charters conferred full powers of legislation, this included
a power to incorporate.(13) Mr. Jackson was a dissenter, owned lands in New England,
had been the colonial agent of Connecticut, and had recently received the degree of Doctor of Laws from Yale College,
a corporation chartered by that colony.(14) The point in dispute could hardly have
been submitted to one whom circumstances would more naturally dispose to a favorable judgment. A very different
opinion had been announced by the crown lawyers in the preceding century, when the incorporation ofHarvard College
was set up as one of the grounds for vacating the Massachusetts charter.

Of the six colonial incorporations in the list which has been given, two belong to the seventeenth and four
to the eighteenth century. The first, dating back to 1675 a New York fishing company, was chartered by the governor
and council of New York, acting for the Duke of York under the liberal terms(15)
of his patent of 1664. The capital stock was divided into shares of the par value of ten pounds.(16)
This was under the administration of Governor Andros. Governor Dongan, in 1684, was authorized to promote the formation
of another to engage in the eastern fisheries at Pemaquid, and, as he subscribed £100 in the name Of the
Duke to the capital stock of such a company, there


being other subscriptions to the amount of £2,400 more,
it is probable that a charter of incorporation was granted, but it does not appear that any organization was ever
effected.(17)

The Free Society of Traders in Pennsylvania was chartered by Governor Penn soon after he had obtained his patent,
and it received extraordinary privileges. It was in furtherance of a scheme for a land as well as a trading speculation,
and the corporation was invested with the lordship of the manor of Frank, and the right to have three representatives
in the provincial council or assembly.(18)

The subscription agreement was drawn up in March, 1682, in London, where the patent, or grant of incorporation,
had been issued,(19) and the first officers were elected there;(20)
but it was to be distinctively an American company,(21) with its seat atthe capital
of Pennsylvania, where all its meetings after the first were forever to be held. A capital stock of £75,400
was subscribed under date of April 26, 1682.(22) At all meetings, subscribers for
£50 were to have one vote, those for £100, two votes, and those for £300 or over, three votes;
provided that no one could cast over one vote unless he resided in Pennsylvania or owned 1,000 acres of inhabited
land there. The articles of association under the patent provided that the first general assembly held in Pennsylvania
should be asked to ratify it. Of that assembly, which met in December, 1682, Dr. Nicholas More, the first president
of the society, was chosen speaker,(23) but it does not appear from its records
that any application was made either then or later for any
