The chapel endured the Revolution, played a central role at the birth of the American republic in 1789, survived the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center 212 years later and then served as sanctuary, clinic and canteen for rescue and recovery workers in the mountainous wreckage across Church Street.

Its history will always be colorful. But the chapel itself will soon be much less so.

Beginning with Paul, Part 3
By JackSantoro@yahoo.com
Paul's tongue-tip flicked around the base of my corona, hitting
all the nerve endings in its sweep around the circumference. From the
flared rim on top, his tongue worked down one side, following the rim as
it swept forward on its way to the underside, where it ended in a lobe
welded to the lobe from the other side of my glans. Just back of where
the two sides joined my gee-string was attached to the bottom of the deep
triangular groove, and Paul's tongue strummed it before starting up the
other side. When he got to the top again he swiped his tongue across my
pouting slit while pumping my foreskin up and downthe "69" position, and I
clamped my fingers around the base of his shaft to make sure his prick
was fully engorged. The effect was immediate. Even though his helmet was
now dry, as my saliva had evaporated, it turned glossy and purple with
the trapped blood.
My tongue-tip probed his slit, and then worked under the head,
tackling the frenulum. I went up the right side to the sexy flare on top,
and then down the other side into the vee-groove again. Now I engulfed
the entire hemet, locking my lips around the brown scar ring behind it,
and began a stroking motion, my lips caressing his scar and the delicate
tissue between it and the rim. My tongue worked over the broad upper
surface of his glans, massaging the nerve endings buried in the tissues.
Paul's breathing was


more rapid now, signaling that his
excitement was mounting, and I cupped his tight sac with the fingers of
my left hand, fingertips pressed lightly into the tender flesh behind it.
I knew that when he unleashed his orgasm, I'd feel the first pulse in
his urethra, and be able to block it, retaining his ejaculations. He'd
given me an explosive orgasm despite my depleted conditions, and I wanted
to give him no less.
Now I withdrew my mouth slightly so that my lips encircled his prominent
corona, and began working the skin of his shaft back and forth. It
stretched just enough to bump his rim, and on the back-stroke I tugged
enough to stretch its nerve endings. Paul's breathing was shallow and
rapid, and he was moaning softly with each exhalation.
The surface of his glans was smoothand rock-hard, the mucous membrane
covering fully distended. I tasted the slippery saltiness emanating from
his pouting slit, savoring the flavor as I continued to work on his
prick. The veins along the shaft bulged with trapped blood.
"Oh, that's great, Jack," he whispered softly, urgently, as his
arousal neared the peak. I wasn't trying to tease his prick now, because
he truly needed to drain himself in the same explosive way I'd poured
out my juice, in a hot release that would leave him dazed.
"I'm feeling that tickle," he whispered. As I was sure his prick was
completely distended, I removed my hand from around the base and pressed
in against his lower abdomen, increasing the pressure in his bladder to
heighten his sensations and intensify his impending orgasm. Paul moaned
loudly, and even more loudly when I


scraped the top surface of his helmet
with my teeth. I pulled forward hard on his skin, pressing the flesh
against the back-face of his corona, working him up to the point of no
return.
"It's tingling," he said in an agonized voice, and I scraped the
delicate nerve endings again, launching his orgasm.
"AAAAHHHHH!" he yelled as the hot blast of his climax overwhelmed him.
His glans throbbed hard in my mouth, and I felt the pulse behind his
scrotum and pressed in hard, constricting the tube and trapping the
cream. I knew that the hot lava stream was searing his urethra, producing
divine sensations that made him yelp again as his tube pulsed a second
time as his helmet hammered my tongue.
I didn't have to swallow, as nothing emerged from his slit, and I was
able to concentrateon maximizing his sensations. Paul yelped again, the
blissful agony evident in his voice, as the third shock-wave hit him. Now
I released the pressure and as his glans throbbed in my mouth it shot a
thick and heavy stream of his viscous juice down my throat. I swallowed
hard and had to swallow again as the stream continued. The odor of
chlorine filled my mouth and nasal passages.
His helmet throbbed again, releasing another hot torrent into my mouth as
Paul continued moaning and yelping uncontrollably. I gave his glans one
last scrape of my teeth and made him cry out again as his throbbing prick
erupted again. Now I simply worked his helmet with my lips to maintain
his sensations as the jets declined and finally settled into a slow
dribble.
I ran my fingertip up his urethra,


from behind his balls along the
underside of his shaft, draining the last drops from his tortured prick.
He was helpless in my arms as I lifted him from the bed and walked him to
the bathroom. His erection was fading fast, and by the time we reached
the sink it arced down toward the floor. I supported him as he came down
fully from his high, and his body relaxed against mine.
"Just relax, Paul," I suggested. "Just go limp and let it happen." In
another minute his sphincter relaxed and a slow dribble of white cream
emerged from his slit, followed by yellow fluid slowly increasing to a
bold stream. I continued to support Paul as he drained himself, and when
the flow had decreased to a few drops, we stepped into the shower.
We soaped eachwicked)" with "Only Stupid Bastards Take Heroin" t-shirts, but with the BBC insisting on putting gaffa tape over "Astards". The Human League doing "The Sound of the Crowd", Blondie doing "Denis." It's been crap for years of course, and the BBC, as always, does it level best to destroy these institutions - just think of it shunting off Peel to a couple of late nights a week, or its utter hatred of Dr. Who for all those years. It seems unlikely that TOTP will get a Dr. Who style resurrection; but the Beeb has always treated it as a light entertainment show rather than a music show, and in the era of pop idol nobodies, and with the P.Diddy's and Shakira's of the world planning world domination country


interests or religious ideas (stem cell research in America, for instance, Religious Hatred bill here) - it creates a climate where, I have no doubt, should another fatwa be handed down on a living writer, they'd be very lucky to receive the grudging level of protection given to Rushdie. As Baroque pointed out, the voice that is silenced in all of this, is often female.

I've recently found myself getting irritated when I hear of something that Brian Eno's been up to. This is ridiculous, since he's one of my heros. When nobody else was buying his records or knew who he was, he seemed the most interesting artist in the world. I remember a Paul Morley show where he talked of the history of musicas if Eno had been involved in every worthwhile bit of it, and in a way he had. Yet, at some point - probably after his 3rd or 4th U2 collaboration - he became the ubiquitous cultural commentator that he is today. And more than that, it seems if anyone wants to add a bit of artiness to a project he gets called in to add his bit. He curated meltdown, he had that exhibition of storage spaces in London, he's produced the new Paul Simon album (Paul bloody Simon!), and he's added humanitarian work - through War child and opposition to the Iraq war - to the long cv. Even now he casts a long shadow - I was thinking of his "long now" project at the


podcast is something that is both nascent, but accessible. So perhaps I'm not irritated by Eno as much as remembering that one of Eno's aims, as I saw it, was to encourage others to work in these areas. That he's still the one being asked, is probably the problem. Part of the project, I think, was that people like me should lose interest in Brian Eno.

(And for the record: 5 great Eno moments -: "Baby's on Fire" live - from 1st June 1974 CD, "The True Wheel" from Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy) - the band A Certain Ratio took their name from this song, "I Zimbra" - Talking Head's finest ethnofunk moment, "Miss Sarajevo" - from the Passengers project with U2, Warszawa - with Bowie from "Low".)

I seem to have overdosed on futurology by uber-geeks this week. First was Paul Caplan of the Mediatrust evangalising about new media made easy. His talk was invigorating, but since it was aimed at community groups, a couple of points are worth making. He said, "if I can use Wordpress anyone can...all it needs is a server with MySQL", which kind of seems a little extreme for any of us without a server or MySQL. (For the record, I've a "server", I guess, for my website, but it would cost me quite a bit more for the other bit.) A little hubristic I felt. And then I looked at his website - and God, when did he


its references. I'd recommend everyone reads Colm Toibin's striking "A Summer Job". It's from a different world, but the emotional strangeness is strongly contemporary.

This year's Mercury Prize shortlist for best album of the year doesn't seem one of its best - despite all the talk about "best years for music ever" - the Arctic Monkeys aside, its a little lightweight. Not that I've heard enough new albums recently to be sure. No Primal Scream - but then its long ago been moving away from the venerable to the very recent - and no Sandi Thom or Lily Allen (like they need the publicity). I think its become a bit too music critic for its own good - you can't imagine a Spice Girl or evenBut since the surfeit of millennial anthologies there's been nothing for the casual or interested reader to use as a roadmap through contemporary poetry.

I watched an interview on BBC News 24 "HardTalk" last night with Patti Smith. I saw her in concert a couple of years ago, and although the set was predominantly her later career - she had a 16 year break from music to bring up her children - her voice and presence were remarkable. I first heard "Horses" at University in 1985, and its a great album, obviously, but more than that, despite her being linked with the punk/new wave scene, its clearly more than that; and owes quite a lot to some of the progressive/art rock tendencies of the early 70s


(note her involvement with Blue Oyster Cult!) That run of albums - with "Wave" "Easter" and "Radio Ethiopia" formed part one of the career - but part 2 has also got value, there's great songs on all of her subsequent albums, and the 2-CD best of a few years ago made a good attempt at summarising the career. Although still an activist, she's also still an artist - and, though it was a bit oblique what she plans - its less likely to be music than art, writing etc. Her identification with romantic heroes such as Blake and Rimbaud is well known. I read a biography by Victor Bockris, which emphasised that the New York scene that she was on in the early 70s, centred round the St.Marks' Poetry Project, was as likely to have George Harrison and John Lennon dropping in, alongside readings by Smith and others. The Factory was in full flow of course, and she was a close friend with Robert Mapplethorpe (who took the iconic photo for the "Horses" cover.) You had great energy from the second wave of the New York School, people like Anne Waldman; Ginsberg was still writing, and very public; and its a period that is ripe for re-assessment, the equivalent, clearly of other high water marks of artistic highs, such as the "beats" and "Bloomsbury's." Moreover, that moment when the biggest band in the world - the Beatles - had split, but were intimately involved in the avant garde, in the openended artistic scene in New


York, sees a rare confluence between music, literature, visual arts and film.

Reading David Thompson's intriguing history/polemic of Hollywood, "The Whole Equation." It's not just the Fitzgerald quote of the title (from "The Last Tycoon") but Thompson's clearly a Fitzgerald obsessive, which is great. Already I get the sense - a few chapters in - that Hollywood has lost it, will no longer keep our collective pulse raising, and yet...it still might. There's a few more novels about Hollywood than rock music; and I'd guess there's a whole raft of novels that owe something to the grammar and the glamour of film. (David Foster Wallace might say its television that influences his generation of writers, but he's American - growing up in Britain in the '70s there wasn't really enough television to influence a writer; and the BBC, despite


sure, having been aware of "The Lonedale Operator." Thompson makes much of the Griffiths' films economic as well as cinematic connotations. That the Griffiths' film was based on the novel "The Klansman" and may have led to further lynchings in the year after its release, is one of the great embarassment's of American movies. But we're not yet at Hollywood at this point - and Hollywood - and the Californian light, so memorable an image for Hockney's swimming pools (another reference I used in my poetry), is the central subject of the book.' You read the dates in the book, and you realise how young an art form cinema is, and he compares and contrasts the films being made in the first quarter of the century with theof the cities where they operated - for the Red Army Faction, East Germany, for the IRA, the Irish Republic.

BBC Radio 4 is in the middle of a lunchtime series examining the history of terrorism - Terror Through Time, presented by Feargal Keane.

The programmes are at 1345 each day, and run for fifteen minutes. I listended to Fridays, which mostly featured the Sykes-Picot Agreement, one of those rather shameful episodes of our history that most Britons know very little about. I personally found it a little slow paced, but with six more episodes to come, and a lot of ground to cover, that will surely change.

The academic advisor for the programme was the excellent Richard English of St Andrews University, whose "Terrorism: How to Respond" is


important reading to anyone studying this subject.

One one level, this is curious. Snowden was not a British citizen, was not employed by a British intelligence agency and had few if any connections to the United Kingdom. Ostensibly he should have been able to access very little information that could damage this country.

The problem of course is that the British intelligence agencies long ago traded any independence they had for a 'seat at the top table' next to the United States. A 'what's ours is yours' approach seems to have ensured, with GCHQ at Cheltenham even accepting a stipend from the US to do snooping work for it. All of which meant that instead of only Tom, Dick or Harriet having access to classified British information, ithe is very much on the right on social issues. He is clearly pitching in his letter to add a Muslim perspective to the Mail's coverage of issues such as teenage pregnanices and family breakdowns.

Part of this confusion comes from what I see as a failure to take the ideas of religious actors, and more accurately in Hasan's case politico-religious actors, seriously. By and large such people mean what they say on social issues, something the left in particular is rather poor at grasping. If you want to know the type of society such beliefs create given the opportunity, take a look at the bible belt in the United States or most Muslim majority nations.

Five Americans to watch one year from start of 2016 Olympics in Rio

Rachel Axon | USA TODAY

Organizers of next year's summer Olympics aren't the only ones feeling a time crunch. With the Games exactly one year away – they run Aug. 5-21, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro – some top American athletes are in the homestretch of what has been a lifetime journey to get to the Olympics.

The young talent here represents some of the up-and-coming athletes in their sports. Four of the five aspire to be first-time Olympians. Few likely know the name of gymnast Simone Biles, although she's become the most dominant gymnast since the London Olympics.

Swimmer Tom Shields could be a contender to beat Michael Phelps – yes, he of Olympic records – in thealmost certainly include Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman, Fierce Fivers whose resumes include a team gold from London along with individual medals.

And likely, neither will be as favored to win Olympic gold again as will Simone Biles.

While Douglas, the all-around champion, and Raisman, who won gold on floor and bronze on the beam, were taking time off after London, Biles was becoming the most dominant female gymnast in the world.

"There was really nothing to worry about (when I first joined the senior team) because my name wasn't anything big but now every time I go into a meet, there's always expectations that I have set for myself and that Martha (Karolyi) and my coaches set for me," Biles said recently. "So now it's just a little more stressful


but I think I do really well handling the pressure and sometimes I think I do better under pressure."

The 18-year-old doesn't just win — although that's all she's done for the past two years, including all-around titles at the last two world championships. She does it with near flawless execution on routines that are more difficult than any her competitors are attempting.

On vault, she has an Amanar, which includes a roundoff onto the board and a 2.5 twisting layout backflip. It's currently the most difficult vault and only a few in the world can do it routinely.

On floor, her best event, Biles' height and power on her tumbling passes put the 4-8 gymnast far above her competition.

Even on the uneven bars, Biles' least favorite event, her difficulty scoreis still among the best.

Barring injury, Biles will be heavily favored in Rio and likely face her biggest competition from her American teammates.

"I think it's an amazing feeling that the U.S. has so many competitors that are contenders," she said.

For now, they're trying to keep up with her. Biles won the AT&T American Cup in March by more than 4.4 points, a virtual rout in gymnastics where the difference between gold and silver can be tenths of a point.

Last month, Douglas and Raisman returned to competition in the United States for the first time after the London Olympics in the Secret Classic.

Biles won by nearly two points.

A potential challenger to Phelps

American swimming fans are used to paying rapt attention to the men's 100-meter butterfly. It's been Michael Phelps'


specialty; he's won an Olympic gold medal in the event in each of the past three Games.

But he's not the only swimmer fans should keep an eye on heading into the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Meet Tom Shields.

Shields, 24, has bested Phelps at the 100 fly on multiple occasions in the last year, as recently as May in Charlotte and previously at the U.S. national championship meet last August. Shields will be a medal contender in both the 100 fly and the 200 fly individual events — and at this point in his career, he is surely feeling a surge of confidence after these recent performances in the long-course domain.

Shields did not make the Olympic team in 2012. At team trials, he finished fourth in the 100fly, behind Phelps, Tyler McGill, and Ryan Lochte; only the top two qualifiers in each event make the Olympic team.

Shields grew up in Huntington Beach, Calif., and swam collegiately at Cal, where he was a national champion many times over (and in various events). He currently holds American short-course records in the 50 fly, 100 fly and 200 fly. He trains with Cal men's coach Dave Durden.

Gold medalist in open water

Of the wealth of USA swimmers who have a good chance at Olympic gold at Rio 2016, Jordan Wilimovsky qualified for the Games before anyone else.

Coming in first isn't exactly a foreign concept to the 21-year-old.

Wilimovsky, an open water swimmer, is the first swimmer and third U.S. athlete of any sport to qualify for the 2016


Olympic Games. He did so with a victory in the men's 10K race at the FINA World Championship in Kazan, Russia, in late July. He is only the second American to ever win the world title in the event.

Russia was Wilimovsky's first time swimming the 10K in international competition. Not that the field rattled him.

He finished the race in 1:49:48.2, almost 12 seconds ahead of silver medalist Ferry Weertman of the Netherlands and about 15 seconds ahead of American Sean Ryan, whose fourth-place finish also qualified him for Rio 2016.

Though the native of Malibu, Calif., made the race look easy – 12 seconds is a world of time in swimming – he was just a touch away from even making the U.S. squad for worlds. He beat 2012Olympian Alex Meyer by 0.006 seconds at the 2015 national championships to qualify.

"I'm just excited that I got to make the worlds team," Wilimovsky said. "It was a fun race."

After the world championships, Wilimovsky has U.S. Nationals at the beginning of August and then is taking a two week break before jumping into Olympic training for the rest of the year. He's red shirting his senior year at Northwestern University to prepare for Rio in Santa Monica with his club coach Dave Kelsheimer, who was also a Team USA staff member in Kazan.

Now that he knows he's going to the Olympics, Wilimovsky is happy to have had the experience of winning at worlds.

"The competition is pretty tough here, it's going to be a lot of the same guys


U.S. Olympic team in 2012. "I think this time around (I've had) a lot of growth, a lot of challenges and I've seen a lot of progression in my wrestling."

The 23-year-old from Rockville, Maryland is ranked No. 2 in the world in her weight class. Earlier this year she was chosen by wrestling's international federation to serve as a female ambassador for the sport. The federation has placed an emphasis on women's wrestling since the sport faced elimination from the Olympic program and lobbied successfully to win over IOC voters for a spot in the Games.

Women will have six weight divisions in Rio (up from four in 2012), the same as male freestyle wrestlers.

Maroulis says the changes have had a positive impact on the sport that will beseen at worlds.

"I think a lot of countries have put more resources and attention on the women's programs," she said. "I think the level of competition has definitely been raised and it's great for the growth of the sport."

Fencer has done some growing up

In the years since fencer Alexander Massialas was Team USA's youngest male athlete at the 2012 London Olympics, he has completed three years of college at Stanford.

So it's no surprise that since London the 21-year-old's game has gotten, well, smarter.

"I think I've learned how to improve with the level fencing in the world. The way I see it is it looks like level fencing is getting higher and higher because people are doing a lot more studying of individual fencers," Massialas said. "I've


really learned how to prepare for competition a lot better. … It's really just about knowing all the matchups and knowing what people are successful."

Massialas's studying is paying off.

In London, he finished 13th in the individual foil event and fourth along with the rest of Team USA's fencers.

Now ranked No. 3 in the world, the San Francisco native — who hasn't yet qualified for Rio 2016 — won a silver medal in the men's individual foil at the Senior World Championships in July and placed first in the same event at the Pan American Games a week later.

He attributes his recent results to increased time in the video room.

A Girly Birthday Mantle

Today is my first born's 5th birthday. The hubs and I stayed up late hanging streamers from her door, banners through the kitchen, blowing up lots of balloons, wrapping her chair at the table, and wrapping all of the presents. When she woke up this morning she was giddy with excitement at all of the birthday decorations. I put up her birthday mantle a few days ago so we could enjoy it a bit longer. I never tire of looking at pictures of my sweet girl through the years.

When 8-year-old Bernardo Nunes was caught by security guards after attempting to invade Brazil's training sessions on Sunday in order to meet his heroes Neymar and Thiago Silva, he thought he was done for.

"I started crying because I thought he would take me to jail," Bernardo later told Terra. But Neymar wasn't going to let that happen.

As the child was led away from the training ground, Neymar ran to catch up to him. Once he did, he escorted Bernardo over to the rest of the Brazilian players, with Bernardo dribbling a stray ball along the way. He then got to meet some of the team's biggest stars including David Luiz, Marcelo, and Thiago Silva. Neymar then took Bernardo's camera and served as Brazil's most famous photographer for thatmoment before handing it off to Thiago Silva so he could get in a shot with the boy himself.

After a few hugs and a bit of a chat, Bernardo was sent on his way.

This isn't the first time Neymar, who is a father himself, has saved a young pitch invader from the clutches of security guards and helped him live his dream, though. He did something similar to a South African boy after a friendly in March, where the Brazillian players even hoisted the delighted child up into the air.

Still just 22 years old and with every reason to be a self-centered egomaniac with all the fame, fortune and comparisons to Pele he's already dealt with for years now, Neymar keeps showing how caring and likable he really


maize and potatoes on his family’s 57,000-acre farm, but he’d always loved game, and in 2009 acquired an additional 12,300 acres to collect African antelopes—sable, kudu and eland. In 2013, he added rhinos. By then, the poachers’ war on the rhino was in full fury, topping 1,000 animal deaths a year for the first time. The thieves were hunting mostly in Kruger National Park and the areas around South Africa’s eastern border with Mozambique. But as anti-poaching measures there improved and the price of rhino horn kept soaring, to tens of thousands of dollars a kilogram, the poachers began expanding into new territory.

They first hit Van Niekerk’s place, deep in the interior, in January 2017, came again the next month, and a third time that April. They killedhas fallen by more than 95 percent since 1900, to just 21,000 southern white rhinos and 5,000 black rhinos; 80 percent of those animals are in South Africa’s game reserves and on ranches like Van Niekerk’s. The northern white rhino subspecies has been reduced to its last two members, both females; the last male died this past March at age 45 at a reserve in Kenya, a death lamented around the world. Scientists are hurriedly researching ways to sustain the subspecies (see opposite page). The main, if not only, cause of the collapse of the northern white rhino, and the devastation of black and southern white rhinos, is wanton killing of the animals, primarily for their horns.

The illegal trade in African rhino horn, worth several billion dollars a


on her flank, face and the hump at the nape of her neck, to reassure her. I stepped in to touch her, too. She was a mass of textures. Her back was rough. The armor on the top side of her trunk was thick, latticed in a pattern of rectangles sweeping down to the underbelly, which was full and soft. Heavy folds fell over her legs, which look jammed in, like pillars holding up a bulbous building.

Van Niekerk needed all his strength to wrest open her mouth. Her upper lip was velvety, hot and tender. There was a big rough exterior ridge along the top of her mouth, and inside was another ridge of rough bumps; the only teeth were molars. Her ears were erect; the skin behindthem was as soft as an ancient and well-oiled baseball mitt. Her tail, so small, looked better suited to a piglet.

And then, of course, the object of so much grief: the horns. Van Niekerk took a hacksaw and removed the bigger horn. It had to come off before the rhino went into the container, or she might break it and injure herself. The stump felt heavy and smooth.

The workers got her back on her feet, tying a rope to each of her hind legs and leashing her head, pushing and pulling, making judicious use of a cattle prod to maneuver her toward the metal container. The rhino was still sedated, and she high-stepped even though her four legs weren’t quite in sync. At the edge of the gangplank—the


last step before the metal container—she swung her head and sloughed off her captors. They regrouped, tugged, heaved and hoed. Just as they got to the door and could see the end of things, she sidestepped it and started taking big strides, as if to break into a gallop. Amid a lot of shouting I took cover behind a pickup truck until the captors reined her in, and this time she disappeared into the container. From above, a worker released the metal door, which dropped like a guillotine. Reaching through an opening in the top of the container, another person removed the blindfold.

Twenty minutes later, after the crew had moved on to the next rhino, we got word that she had busted out. The container’s front door wasmissing a metal pin to secure it. The crew had to start all over with her.

And so it went with the 15 beasts.

A mechanical loader lifted the containers onto the four flatbeds, which formed into a convoy with the two minivans and the private security guards in the pickup. It was almost 3 in the afternoon. After nine hours in the field, we could start the journey to Botswana.

**********

Seven hours later, at the Botswana border, our private security force peeled away, and soldiers from the Botswana Defence Force took their place.

Botswana is about the size of Texas, but it has just 2.25 million people, mostly on its eastern flank. The rest is a barely populated wilderness stretching across the Kalahari Desert, the Makgadikgadi Pans, a series of salt


pans the size of Belgium, and the fertile, paradisiacal Okavango Delta. The vastness and austere beauty can leave you slack-jawed, and tourism is now the country’s second-biggest industry, after mining.

As we set out on the Trans-Kalahari Highway, the security posture changed. In South Africa, security relied on inconspicuousness and discretion. Here, it was about boldness. When the convoy stopped to refuel, soldiers spilled out of their vehicles and formed a perimeter while holding their rifles. The handful of local men and women hanging out at the gas-station convenience store seemed happy for the break in the humdrum. The temperature had dropped, and everyone reached for fleece. A vet climbed onto the tops of the containers to check on the rhinos, who protested their kidnapping by banging against thereached the release site at nightfall, some 30 hours after leaving Van Niekerk’s farm. Each rhino was darted and led out of its container, tipped onto its side and had more blood drawn. Workers belted a GPS monitor around an ankle of each animal.

Now there were nearly a hundred people on hand. Among them were the Jouberts, who had envisioned this move, and Map Ives, director of Rhino Conservation Botswana, who had once worked with Wilderness Safaris, a tourism company that initiated rhino repopulation efforts here in the early 2000s. They rolled up their sleeves and got to work with the others, well past midnight.

Seven rhino bulls lay still on the ground like big gray boulders. The four cow-calf pairs would spend the night in a pen that


Training needs assessment of service providers: targeted intervention for HIV/AIDS in Jharkhand, India.
Training needs assessments are pivotal for any capacity building program. Building capacity of service providers and staff involved in HIV/AIDS intervention programs is crucial because of the distinct nature of such programs. It requires specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are of utmost importance, influencing the reach of the program and its impact in halting and reversing the epidemic. This study was conducted to identify the training needs assessment of personnel involved in targeted intervention for high risk populations vulnerable to HIV infection in Jharkhand, India. Through the study the authors critically examine the existing training needs and gaps and suggest strategies to address them.Most fans of the modern Tampa Bay Rowdies are fully aware of the ways the club has benefitted from having the University of South Florida in its backyard. USF graduate Jeff Attinella had two stellar seasons as goalkeeper for the Rowdies, topped off by a Soccer Bowl victory in 2012. When Attinella left for Real Salt Lake in MLS he was replaced by Diego Restrepo, another former USF keeper. Restrepo had a terrific 2014 that included being named NASL Player of the Week 3 times and put on the NASL Team of the Week 7 times. And of course the Rowdies this offseason have brought in two of USF’s best over the past decade in left back Ben Sweat and forward Zak Boggs. But the relationship between the


Rowdies and the USF Men’s Soccer program reaches back to the old days of the NASL and even extended past that league’s expiration date.

Around one dozen players to come out of USF were either drafted by (yes the old NASL had a draft) or came to the Rowdies through other avenues. In 1977 defender Kevin Egan was the first USF Bull to be drafted by the Rowdies. South African forward Roy Wegerle holds the distinction of being the last Bull drafted by the Rowdies. He had a standout debut season in 1984, winning Rookie of the Year honors with 9 goals and 17 assists in 21 appearances. Unfortunately that was the original NASL’s final season so Wegerle left Tampa Bay for England where he had a lengthy careerbefore ultimately finishing things out with the Tampa Bay Mutiny in 1998.

The Rowdies survived the fall of the NASL and many products of USF continued to naturally flow over to club. The Rowdies held on for 8 years after the NASL folded before disbanding themselves in 1993. Nearly half a dozen Bulls wore the green and gold during this period in which the Rowdies started out in the American Indoor Soccer association and then moved to the American Soccer League (which eventually became the American Professional Soccer League). The Rowdies even called USF’s soccer stadium home for two of their final seasons of existence in 1991 and 1992. Today USF has a new soccer venue called Corbett Stadium. It was named after Dick and Cornelia Corbett who made


a generous donation towards the project. Cornelia Corbett also was the sole owner of the Tampa Bay Rowdies after 1986.

The first match hosted in Corbett Stadium in August of 2011 was the annual preseason competition between USF and the University of Tampa. The competition started out as the Mayor’s Cup back in 1972 but has since been dubbed the Rowdies Cup. The winner earns the right to hoist the original Soccer Bowl trophy that the Rowdies won in 1975.

Since taking over in 2002 USF Head Coach George Kiefer has built a consistently top performing program in the country, and one that soccer fans in Tampa Bay could take pride in during the absence of the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Tampa Bay Mutiny. Under Kiefer the Bulls have qualifiedAvatar sets audiences on epic, visual ride

James Cameron's long-awaited Avatar, one of the most expensive films ever made, takes off this week in an awe-inspiring display of Hollywood power that has revolutionized cinematic special effects.

At a cost of about $400 million to make and market Avatar, the Oscar-winning director of Titanic has created a lush world of dense forest, floating mountains and tremendous creatures in a computer-generated spectacular that transforms much of the cast into giant, blue-skinned humanoids.

The movie, which premiered in London on Thursday and begins landing in theaters worldwide next week, represents a huge risk for the 20th Century Fox studio that backed it and is being watched closely in Hollywood for its impact on the future of movies, special effects and expansion of new 3D


world where he falls in love with a Na'vi princess.

SCIENCE FICTION TECHNOLOGY

What makes Avatar stand out, however, is the appearance of its three-dimensional forest scenery and the seamless interaction of the human cast with the animated world.

Rigging his actors with specially developed cameras to register every gesture and facial expression as they moved about a bare stage, Cameron and his technical team blended their images into the computer-generated world of Pandora.

The science fiction of the technology was more science fiction than the story, said Sigourney Weaver, star of Cameron's film Aliens, who plays a scientist in Avatar.

You're aware that a lot of work is going on around you, but you, the actor, just have the responsibility of being in the moment and being in the world, she said.

Cameron,President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro on Tuesday as both leaders attended an emotional memorial for the late Nelson Mandela. The moment drew fire from key Republicans, including Sen. John McCain, who likened it to shaking hands with Hitler.

The fleeting exchange, captured in photographs and video from a giant soccer stadium in Johannesburg, came after Obama bounded up the steps toward the podium to address the massive crowd.

The United States and Cuba have seen their enmity outlive the Cold War that spawned it — even as Raul’s brother Fidel Castro, now in reportedly poor health, outlasted the decadeslong American embargo meant to push him from power.

The two countries have not had formal diplomatic relations since shortly after Fidel Castro led a 1959 revolution and


aligned his country with the Soviet Union. Fidel passed the reins to Raul in 2008.

It was believed to be the first such encounter between the leaders of the two countries since Bill Clinton gripped Fidel Castro’s hand in 2000 at a United Nations lunch.

Shortly after the handshake, Obama delivered a speech honoring Mandela, also called Madiba, in which he seemed to take aim at governments like Castro's, saying: "There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people."

While this White House has at times signaled a willingness to ease tensions with Cuba, there were no signs of a fresh diplomatic push on anything approaching the scale of outreach towards Iran, which got a boost from ahistoric Sept. 27 phone call between Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

"This wasn't a preplanned encounter," an Obama aide told Yahoo News on condition of anonymity. "Above all else, today is about honoring Nelson Mandela, and that was the president's singular focus."

Still, "as the president said, we urge leaders to honor Mandela's struggle for freedom by upholding the basic human rights of their people," the official said.

Story continues

At a fundraiser for Senate Democrats in Florida last month, Obama sounded optimistic about political change spreading in Cuba and said it was time to “update our policies” — a clear reference to the economic embargo first imposed by then-President Dwight Eisenhower and regularly toughened since.

“Now, I think we all understand that, ultimately, freedom in Cuba will come because of extraordinary

Obama and Castro had exchanged a few words before the American president moved on to share a handshake with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and kiss her on both cheeks. Rousseff has angrily condemned U.S. spying in her country, which reportedly included her own communications.

And Obama also briefly exchanged greetings with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, with whom he also has been at odds recently.Minecraft's Notch Makes An Appearance On The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson

BACKGROUND

This suit arises out of the San Francisco Police Department's (SFPD) investigation, arrest, and pretrial detention of Roy for the June 1982 murder of Ken Miller, which Roy claims was justified self-defense.   In investigating the killing, SFPD investigators Marvin Dean and Michael Mullane seized various items from Roy's hotel room.   After interviewing several eyewitnesses, they obtained a warrant for Roy's arrest on Dean's affidavit establishing probable cause.   Roy was eventually located while in custody at Connecticut State Prison on an unrelated charge.   On his request to be tried on the Miller murder charge, he was transferred to San Francisco County jail, where he was confined forapproximately seven weeks in June, July, and August 1983.   On July 22, 1983, the District Attorney dismissed the murder charges.   On July 25, 1983, while awaiting transfer back to Connecticut State Prison, Roy filed a section 1983 action against the SFPD, Inspector Mullane, and Sheriff Hennessey, complaining of the wrongful deprivation of property seized in the search of his hotel room.

Roy's amended complaint, filed in September 1985, contains three claims:  (1) that Mullane unlawfully seized and refused to return Roy's property;  (2) that Sheriff Hennessey and the County failed to provide him adequate legal services while he was incarcerated in the county jail;  and (3) that Mullane obtained an arrest warrant in bad faith, knowing that Roy was not guilty of

The strategy used to treat pediatric renal tumors in Japan is based on the Japanese Wilms' Tumor Study (JWiTS) protocol, which was based on the National Wilms' Tumor Study (NWTS)-5 regimen. The regimen is characterized by an initial radical operation, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Concerning the histological classification, a new classification based on the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) classification was used beginning in 2008. The main points of revision are that the "blastemal predominant type" was classified as an independent category in the Wilms' tumor subtypes.

Rohingya in Indonesia camps concerned over status, jobs

ACEH, INDONESIA - MARCH 24: Rohingya refugees are seen at their shelter in Bayeun, Aceh, Indonesia on 24 March, 2016. Data issued by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 956 Rohingya were rescued by Aceh fishermen on May 2015 after they were adrift in oceans. (Junaidi Hanafiah - Anadolu Agency)

Hundreds have fled shelters since Indonesia offered temporary shelter during boat people crisis a year ago

TUBAN, Indonesia -- One year after Indonesia offered temporary shelter for hundreds of Muslim Rohingya, those who remain in camps are seeking employment and clarity regarding their status.

Hundreds of refugees have even fled northern Aceh province in hopes of reaching Malaysia and meeting relatives and acquiring jobs in the neighboring country, the chief of the


National Committee for Rohingya Solidarity (KNSR) said Monday.

Mustafa Tiba told Anadolu Agency that Rohingya “hope there is work to support their families who still live in Myanmar."

He said most of the refugees in Aceh instead spend their days at camps attending classes, farming and taking care of livestock, as few of them have employment.

In May 2015, thousands of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants were stranded at sea after Thailand launched an anti-trafficking crackdown after discovering the bodies of dozens of migrants near its border with Malaysia.

After initially turning back boatloads of migrants, Indonesia and Malaysia agreed to take Rohingya in for one year, accommodating those deemed to be refugees on the condition that the international community then resettle them.

Data from KNSR shows that only around 320 refugees remain inshelters in Aceh, down from 1,000 a year ago.

Tiba said that of those still in the province, “some even worked as vendors and then in the afternoon, they return again to the refugee camp."

He underlined that those who ran away from Aceh did so “because from the beginning, their goal was not to arrive in Aceh."

The volunteer group’s chief stressed the need for Indonesia’s government to create a space in which local agencies can participate in helping Rohingya fulfill their needs.

He criticized regulations stating that only immigration authorities, such as those from the United Nations’ refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration, are authorized to assist in immigration matters.

Some of the refugees at Aceh shelters marked the one-year anniversary of their arrival in Indonesia in the middle

He tells us that she was turned on by the idea of him possibly having sex with another guy and they definitely need the money with the holidays coming up so…

Like most of the guys who do their first porn performance, David was nervous at first but he was excited to get started and wastes no time getting undressed. His mind was put at ease a bit too when he is told that today’s performance will be a jack off only. He strips down to his white briefs and sits on the famous casting futon tohimself rather than the porn on the TV. He plays with his nipples, rubs his balls, and has a very content look on his face. At one point the owner of BSB moves in to feel David’s cock. His giant hand strokes David’s dick for a short period and David seems to love it as he almost instantly gets ready to cum. With a short warning of impending action, David takes over to jerk out his own load. The cum flies from his dick to splatter on his thigh and lower stomach area. The cum makes a very nice looking mess and the big smile on his face is a sure sign that he enjoyed himself. When he is finished they ask David if he up to coming


continued by detailing the history of the pilgrims who “fled persecution in their home countries.”

“When the Mayflower pilgrims landed in New England in the early 17th century,” he wrote, “they established a harvest celebration that would later become known as Thanksgiving by sitting down with Native Americans gracious enough to share their land and way of life.”

Of course he added, “And, well, we all know how that turned out.” But today, the pilgrims are embodied in the Syrian refugees, he argued.

After the Paris attacks, the “incendiary rhetoric over Syrian refugees and whether to admit them into the U.S.” is “at odds with the United States’ historical role in the world – that of giving shelter to the oppressed,” he wrote.

  FACTUAL BACKGROUND

        On May 3, 2006, Appellant was indicted for aggravated sexual assault of a child. He

accepted a plea agreement to the offense. In a hearing on March 25, 2010, the trial court initially told

Appellant he was entitled to credit from the date of the arrest--July 27, 2009--until the hearing date,

which was a total of 242 days. Appellant claimed he was entitled to credit for a 48-month federal

sentenced he served. In support of this contention, defense counsel argued that Appellant was

entitled to credit from the date the State knew where he was. The court disagreed and allowed a

recess so that Appellant and his attorney could discuss his plea decision.

        After the recess,a brisk business at the turn of the century converting gold ore — much of it from the Yukon — to bullion. It was once the largest gold, silver and lead refiner on the West Coast.

Early in August 1901, the smelter received a shipment of over a half ton of gold bullion. The massive shipment was too large to fit in the smelter's new vault, so some of the bars were placed in an old walk-in vault in the lead-smelting building. Three watchmen guarded the vault as 50 men worked the furnaces around the clock.

After more than six weeks of tunneling through dirt and the building's brick foundation, Winters, a former employee of Selby, finally reached the vault — an iron box 10 feet long by 5 feet


wide by 6 feet tall. It took him all night to drill through the metal floor and open a hole, "the hardest work of my life," he said.

Drowned out by the ambient noise of the factory, the sound of his drilling went unnoticed. Once inside the vault, Winters immediately got to work hauling out the gold, bar by bar. He knew he was racing the clock.

"I made fourteen trips from my tunnel to the wharf where I lowered the bullion into the bay," Winters told reporters in an Aug. 12, 1901, Chronicle article. "I made a mark on the wharf where I dropped each bar, so that I could readily find them."

The Aug. 5, 1901, gold heist at the Selby smelter made headlines across the country. In today'scurrency, about $17 million in bullion was stolen. The Aug. 5, 1901, gold heist at the Selby smelter made headlines across the country. In today's currency, about $17 million in bullion was stolen. Image 1 of / 18 Caption Close Sunken treasure? Is part of $17M Selby gold loot at bottom of the bay? 1 / 18 Back to Gallery

By then dawn was breaking, and Winters was running out of time. He left behind $130,000 of gold, and in his haste, dropped two bars on the beach. Still, he was able to submerge more than $283,000 in bullion in the bay and make his getaway.

When Selby employees opened vault the next morning, they found the hole in the floor and almost 900 pounds of gold missing. No one


suspected a one-man job: the prevailing theory was that a gang of crooks tunneled to the gold, hauled it through a railroad tunnel and loaded it on a boat moored in the bay off Vallejo Junction.

The daring heist made headlines across the country.

"In the history of crime this robbery will surmount all its predecessors. In conception, in design and in execution, it will stand as a landmark in criminology," gushed the San Francisco Call.

A.J. Ralston, the president of Selby Smelting, offered a $25,000 reward — an unprecedented amount at the time — for the capture of the thieves and the recovery of the gold.

Winters had already figured out how he was going to get away with his crime.

"I planned how I would get rid of the bullion withoutcompany — supposedly acting on a tip that Winters had been acting suspiciously — searched the cabin. They found the handgun, muddy clothing, shovels, a wheelbarrow and personal letters. The latter led officers to the home of Ida Spencer in San Rafael, where Winters was hiding out. He was arrested immediately.

Winters insisted detectives did not have "the dope on me" and that he had thrown the shovel he used to dig the tunnel in the bay. But after three days of constant interrogation by legendary San Francisco detective Isaiah Lees and his colleague John Seymour, Winters confessed and eventually told the gumshoes where he had dumped it in the bay.

Reports that Winters negotiated to be paid the $25,000 reward in return for leading the cops to the gold


were denied, but the Chronicle reported that "ex-Chief of Police Lee (sic) did admit that certain concessions were made to him."

Seymour, quoted by Chronicle, gave a blunt assessment of the execution of the crime.

"Up to the time he secured the gold, [Winters] acted with wonderful clearness and nerve," he said. "The moment he fastened his hands on the bullion he acted like an idiot."

Winters pleaded guilty, and on Aug. 21, 1901, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He was paroled after serving seven years.

And the gold?

By some reports, it was all recovered, mostly by divers who combed through the bay mud for the sunken bullion bars.

Treasure hunting sites, including Legends of America, naturally suggest otherwise, saying only part of the gold was fished out of the bay,the same time accounting for the non-recovery of all the gold from the bay by the excuse that some of the bullion slipped down through the mud into deep water."

In the December 1920 edition of the Mining and Scientific Press, a W.A. Middleton of Martinez wrote in a letter to the publication that he was assistant to the head refiner of the Selby operation at the time of the Winters robbery:

"The gentleman who called at your office to ascertain where he could buy a divining rod to use in finding some gold buried near Vallejo is probably under the impression that the gold Winters stole from the Selby smelter several years ago was not entirely recovered and still lies buried near Vallejo. If this is his opinion, I


and 1966 (when England won the world cup).

Other years with significantly higher than average shares of reminiscence are 1900, 1940, 1960, 1970 and 2012. 27 people also say Britain's finest moments were before 1800, but it's clear the curve of nostalgia is highest between 1940-1980 – and the median year for British greatness is 1960.

The sixties is also clearly the decade in which people tend to say Britain was at its greatest. Twice as many (13%) choose the sixties as the greatest British decade than any other, with the rest closely bunched together. 18-24s are the only generation not giving the highest share of nostalgia to the '60s (7% choose the 200s and 6% choose the '90s).

Similar research conducted in the US found the most popular year was2000, before the 9/11 attacks. 1955, 1960, 1970 and 1985 were also popular, and among Trump supporters there was a similar vagueness in when America was greatest, although over 2% chose 2015, the year Donald Trump's campaign began.

She posted a photo of Franken with his hands above her chest as she slept wearing a flak vest aboard a military plane. Soon after the post, he apologized to her.

Another woman, Lindsay Menz, said on Monday that Franken squeezed her buttocks in 2010 while posing for a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. Franken said he didn’t remember the picture but expressed remorse that Menz felt “disrespected”.

Two more women alleged in a Huffington Post story published on Wednesday that Franken touched their buttocks


during campaign events in 2007 and 2008.

Franken has not appeared in public since the first allegation, canceling an event in Atlanta for his book Al Franken, Master of the Senate and, according to aides, “spending time with his family and doing a lot of reflecting”.Miscellaneous Symbols

The Polish Sejm (lower house) passed legislation on Friday introducing disciplinary actions against judges, following a stormy all-night debate in the house's Justice Committee.

Authored by Poland's governing party, Law and Justice (PiS), the legislation aims to discipline judges who exceeded their powers by obstructing the functioning of the judiciary, questioning judicial appointments, and political involvement. The law also obliges judges and prosecutors to disclose their party affiliations prior to being nominated to their posts.

Opponents of the bill warn that the proposed legislation violates judicial independence.

In an official opinion on the matter on Tuesday, the Supreme Court criticised the new regulations and warned that they were incompatible with EU law. Supreme Court First President Malgorzata Gersdorf said the new regulations restricted judges in their right to freedom of speechand broadened surveillance over their movements.

The dispute which led to the bill's passage was sparked off by Poland's Supreme Court's queries to the EU Court of Justice (CJEU) regarding the legality of judicial appointments by Poland's National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), which, as a result of earlier reforms of the justice system, is now appointed by the Sejm and not, as earlier, by judges.

In a recent ruling in the matter, the CJEU said the Supreme Court had to decide the matter itself, in effect of which the Polish court ruled that the KRS was not impartial and independent.

The immediate reason for the bill's passage was recent queries by a number of judges concerning the legality of judicial appointments by the reformed KRS, forwarded in concurrence with the

Dane keen to try his luck in the Premier League

Exciting

understands former Denmark star Michael Laudrup is a contender for the vacant manager's job at Liverpool. Liverpool have begun their search for a new boss following the board's decision to axe Kenny Dalglish earlier this week. The Reds are believed to have a shortlist of up to 12 people they want to talk to about succeeding Dalglish at Anfield. Wigan's Roberto Martinez has already been given permission to enter discussions with Liverpool, while Swansea chief Brendan Rodgers declined the opportunity to hold talks with the Merseyside giants. Danish icon Laudrup is thought to be in the frame for the post, with the47-year-old believed to be keen to try his luck in England.Former Barcelona and Real Madrid star Laudrup is highly-regarded in Europe as one of the best young managers around with his brand of exciting attacking style of play. Laudrup worked as Morten Olsen's assistant with the Danish national side before he took charge of Brondby in 2002. After four successful seasons, he left Brondby for Getafe, leading them to the final of the Copa del Rey and the quarter-finals of the old UEFA Cup. Laudrup has since had spells with Spartak Moscow and Real Mallorca, who he left last September. Laudrup has been linked with a move to England in the past and the Dane is thought to have admirers inside the corridors of power at Anfield as


Bairns boss quits - Reports

Eddie May's future as Falkirk manager is in doubt with reports claiming he has resigned.
The Bairns have struggled since May took over from John Hughes in the summer.
His tenure began with an embarrassing exit from the Europa League qualifiers at the hands of Liechtenstein-based minnows FC Vaduz and the 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock on Wednesday night left them bottom of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with 17 points.1992, shortly after the Saccoccias were indicted, Hill and Semenza met with AUSA's James Leavey and Michael Davitt to inquire about the policy of the United States Attorney's Office in the District of Rhode Island regarding forfeiture of attorney's fees. Leavey told them that the office had never sought to forfeit reasonable fees paid to attorneys.
A couple of weeks later, Hill and Semenza again met with Leavey to discuss the possibility of a plea agreement pursuant to which Stephen would cooperate with the government. Hill expressed concern that the government might require Stephen to forfeit all of his assets. Leavey confirmed that the government would insist upon the forfeiture of Stephen's assets, but stated that if the parties reached agreement on the terms, Leavey would include, in the


written plea agreement, a provision that the government would not seek forfeiture of any reasonable attorneys' fees paid to Hill and Semenza, and that he would seek the U.S. Attorney's approval of that provision.
In the fall of 1992, shortly before Donna was convicted, O'Donnell told Leavey that he, too, might represent Stephen and he inquired about the government's policy regarding the forfeiture of attorneys' fees. Leavey repeated to O'Donnell that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Rhode Island had never sought to forfeit reasonable attorneys' fees. Finta never spoke to Leavey and never entered an appearance in this case, but Leavey's statements were communicated to him by O'Donnell.
In 1996, long after Stephen and Donna had been convicted, the government began taking the depositions of the Saccoccias' attorneys in anto other attorneys. On October 30, 1992, several months before Stephen was convicted, $50,000, in cash, was left for Finta at a local attorney's office. Finta kept $41,000 and transferred the other $9,000 to attorney Robert Luskin, who also represented Stephen. The remaining $419,200 was received by Finta after Stephen was convicted, and Finta kept $242,000. One hundred thousand dollars was wire transferred to Finta from O'Donnell's office. The rest, $319,200, was delivered in six installments between May, 1993 and February, 1994. Those deliveries were made by unidentified individuals and consisted of envelopes containing cash that were left at a hotel in Warwick, Rhode Island where Finta was staying, or in the trunk of a rental car parked at the hotel.

Analysis

I. Estoppel

A. The Legal Principles

The doctrine of equitable


have been generated by the precious metals refining business and coin shop that were the Saccoccias' only "legitimate" sources of income. The evidence presented at trial indicates that those businesses were not particularly profitable and that they served, primarily, as "fronts" for the money laundering activity to which Stephen and his employees devoted most of their time and effort. Indeed, in forfeiting the assets of those businesses, the government realized only approximately $237,000.
The conclusion that the attorneys' fees at issue were derived from the proceeds of the Saccoccias' money laundering activities is buttressed by the circumstances under which many of the payments were made. As already noted, substantial sums were wired from an attorney in Switzerland where the Saccoccias were apprehended, and where they had secreted assets. InA Heart (Pye)

ALEX Davies became the lastest rider to receive a presentation cheque from SREF when he was given a cheque for £250 prior to Somerset's match against Sheffield on Friday.

"I would like to thank SREF for the cheque, he said, "it very much appreciated, especially when you consider that the money comes from the fans buying their 50/50 draw tickets each week and supporting SREF with their other fund-raising activities.”

The cheque had an obvious impression upon Alex as he then went on to complete his first maximum of the season for the Rebels in Somerset's big win over Sheffield.In the last few weeks, tens of thousands in Europe have demonstrated for urgent climate action.

More than 80,000 people joined environmental organizations to march in Brussels -- and another 80,000 in towns and villages across France. The protests are being undertaken in the lead-up to the European Council meetings which will take place in Brussels on March 21 and 22. Some of those protesting are farmers, others are seasoned activists, others are high school students.

These protests are highlighting growing concern, tension and demands for new agricultural policies, among others. Coalitions are being formed as movements come together from various sectors to protest lack of commitment on the part of governments.

Protesters are noting that it is time to realize that the agro-industrial model of agriculture is not good for


larger companies focused on boosting yields, they said, but instead the funds should be distributed better to avert further farmyard closures and rural village die-offs. Organizers said 35,000 protesters had converged on Berlin via three routes, some using tractors, from the state of Brandenburg which surrounds Germany's capital."

This story on issues related to organic farming and sustainable agriculture in Germany helps to explain the urgency. Farmers concerned about climate change are calling on a return to smaller farms and a stop to subsidies that encourage and benefit larger farms.

The EU climate protests highlight concerns similar to those of small farmers and their supporters in Canada.

I have written in this column about these same types of concerns among small farmers and producers in Canada, as well as by thesteps struck upon the Tomb’s dry floor.

Support for family carers of children and young people with developmental disabilities and challenging behaviour.
This study gathered information about perceptions of family carers of children and young people with developmental disabilities and challenging behaviour of the help, support and treatment received from services and professionals. A total of 66 family carers completed postal questionnaires on the nature of, and their satisfaction with, services, professional help and advice received in respect of their family member's challenging behaviour. Most carers were dissatisfied with support and services received. Almost half reported receiving no professional input or none that was helpful. Over two-thirds reported receiving respite care but, in a third of these, the child had been excluded because of challenging behaviour. Families of children with challenging behaviour often do not receiveNovember 14, 2017 — On Nov. 3, Jesuit Father Roch
Lapalme pronounced his final vows in the Society of Jesus in Montreal at Maison
Bellarmin, the Province office for the Jesuits of French Canada and Haiti.

He professed vows before Father Erik Oland, Provincial
of the French Canada Jesuits; Fr. Lapalme’s mother and sister were also
present, as well as some of his Jesuit brothers. After the Eucharistic
celebration, the guests gathered for a banquet.

Fr. Lapalme was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, in 1964. Before
joining the Society in 1995, he studied history and literature at Laval
University in Quebec City and at L’Université de Sherbrooke. He coauthored a
book devoted to Quebec’s song heritage, “Guide
de la chanson québécoise,” in 1996.

He studied theology at Laval University, then
completed a master’s degree in spiritual accompaniment at Loyola University Maryland.
From 2003


to 2005, he served as chaplain at the College Notre-Dame de Jamhour
in Lebanon.

Fr. Lapalme was a Provincial consultor from 2009 to
2013 and a collaborator with the Centre de spiritualité Manrese in Quebec City,
where he is currently a member of the board. Since 2015, he has served as the superior
of the bi-province novitiate for the Jesuits in French and English Canada. [Source: Jesuites.org]

Match wrap: NZ thump Australia in Auckland

Australia has suffered injury upon indignity with World Cup Final hero James Faulkner sustaining a hamstring injury that will see him take no further part in the current Chappell-Hadlee Trophy Series which New Zealand now leads 1-0.

Faulkner, one of only two batsmen (along with Matthew Wade) to reach 30 in Australia's hefty 159-run loss to the Black Caps in the first game of the three-match series today, sustained the injury during New Zealand's innings although the severity won't be known until scans are undertaken.

WATCH: Faulkner's freakish grab

He will return to Australia tomorrow to begin his rehabilitation and will be replaced in the 14-man squad by Victorian allrounder Marcus Stoinis, who will be plucked from the Bushrangers' Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania atthe MCG. Fellow allrounder Ian Holland will debut for the Bushrangers in Stoinis's stead.

"James reported increased stiffness in his right hamstring during the first innings tonight and found it difficult running during our batting innings," Cricket Australia's Sports Science and Sport Medicine Manager Alex Kountouris said tonight.

"Unfortunately, with the short turnaround between games we do not believe he will recover in time to take any further part in the series.

"As a result, he will return to Melbourne tomorrow to have scans and start rehabilitation.

"We are hopeful this is only a low-grade injury but will know more in the coming days."

WATCH: Stoinis takes two in BBL

Faulkner, who also captured two wickets as the Black Caps piled on 8-307 at Eden Park today, joins Mitchell Starc (foot and ankle surgery),


Pat Cummins (back), Nathan Coulter-Nile (shoulder), Aaron Finch (hamstring) and coach Darren Lehmann (deep vein thrombosis) as absentees from a full-strength ODI squad.

Man of the match in his team's World Cup triumph over New Zealand at the MCG last March, Faulkner was playing his 50th ODI for Australia in Auckland today which made him – along with fellow all-rounder Mitchell Marsh – the most experienced members of a revamped bowling attack.

Given that auxiliary seamer Scott Boland has played just four ODIs, leg spinner Adam Zampa remains uncapped and 26-year-old Stoinis made his only 50-over appearance for Australia in England last September, the world champions face a tough task to win the final two matches of the Chappell Hadlee Series.

"It's unfortunate that James has suffered this injury but theWisconsin Governor Scott Walker joined the crowded field of Republican contenders vying for the White House in 2016 on Monday, and immediately stands out for having one of the poorest records on environmental and climate issues, according to green groups and political experts.

Since taking office in 2010, Walker has dismantled several longstanding policies protecting wetlands and waterways, fast-tracked mining projects, fought climate action, slashed funding for dozens of state scientists and environmental education positions, and impeded development of wind energy in Wisconsin.

"He's one of the worst," said Heather Taylor-Miesle, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Action Fund, the political arm of the New York City-based green group. "His state record shows that he has little regard for the facts. All the things he's done, whether it is


rolling back phosphorous pollution standards or deregulating frac sand, points to the big question of 'why?'"

Walker's campaign did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

Walker has not officially stated whether he believes climate change is happening and caused by human activities, mainly the burning of fossil fuels. He is, however, a vocal critic of President Barack Obama's climate policies, arguing White House efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants would be "a blow to Wisconsin residents and business owners." In April, Wisconsin joined 13 other states in a lawsuit against the Environmental Protect Agency challenging its upcoming carbon regulations. Walker is also a signatory of the "No Climate Tax Pledge," which aims to stop legislative attempts to raise taxes to fight climate change.

"Gov.Walker makes it clear that he would block the Clean Power Plan, condemning millions of Americans to prolonged exposure to air pollution that can trigger asthma attacks and other serious ailments," said Daniel Weiss, senior vice president for campaigns at the League of Conservation Voters.

Walker has also helped transform Wisconsin into a critical player in the expansion of fracking nationwide through the production of "frac sand," a type of quartz sand that helps keep fractures open underground so oil and gas can be extracted more easily. Under his guidance, the number of frac sand mining, processing and transportation facilities in the state have increased from seven in 2010 to 135 today, a 20-fold increase. Walker's 2016-2017 budget cuts funding for the Department of Natural Resources, the state's environmental


protection agency, by $24.5 million and eliminates 66 jobs, and he supported legislation that would limit local control of frac sand mining operations.

He has also appointed several high-ranking state officials critical of environmental regulation and climate action. Cathy Stepp, a former Republican state senator, owner of a construction company and Walker's 2011 choice for head of the state's DNR made news when she said her staff consists of "unelected bureaucrats who have only their cubicle walls to bounce ideas off of," and who "tend to come up with some pretty outrageous stuff that those of us in the real world have to contend with," according to Scientific American.

Some experts worry Walker's anti-environment agenda has created a hostile atmosphere for discussion of climate change in Wisconsin. The state isexpected to face several severe climate impacts such temperature increases of up to 7 degrees Fahrenheit by mid-century and heavier rain events. In April, Wisconsin officials voted to ban state employees who manage thousands of acres of forests from working on or talking about global warming. (The ban was eventually amended to prevent staffers from participating in climate advocacy, not all climate work, after a public outcry.)

Walker has polled favorably for months, consistently ranking second or third behind Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio. Now that he is officially in the race, Walker could soon receive a windfall of money that could help solidify his position near the top. Fossil fuel billionaires and top conservative donors Charles and David Koch told donors in April that Walker was their top
