Commissioners also Tuesday discussed how much buffer space, or setback, should be between the property line and the guesthouse, and its maximum size.

However, with commission Chair Jose Jimenez absent from the meeting, the remaining commissioners were divided about whether or not the changes were necessary.

Commissioners Dario Castellanos and Sheena Heng said they were in favor of removing the lot size requirement offavor of maintaining the city standards as they are now.

Reading's Yakou Meite celebrates scoring his fifth league goal this season

An 84th-minute header from Yakou Meite gave Reading a draw with Ipswich, after the visitors had led for the majority of the game.

Gwion Edwards scored inside five minutes for Ipswich with a right-footed shot that found the bottom left corner from outside the box.

It took the home side just two minutes to equalise with Meite's overhead kick.

The Tractor Boys responded once more in the 11th minute, as a mix-up at the back for Reading gave Freddie Sears the chance to get through on goal and slot past keeper Anssi Jaakkola.

However, Meite's late header from Leandro Bacuna's pass secured a point for the hosts.

New Ipswich manager Paul Lambert is still without a windances, public demos and other events.

On Tuesday, the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) ruled on the disputed area of the Bay of Bengal, awarding the greater share of it to Bangladesh.

In its verdict, binding on both countries, the court awarded 19,467 square kilometers (7,516 square miles), from a total disputed area of 25,602, to India's smaller neighbor.

The ruling was welcomed by India, which said it paved the way for greater economic cooperation between the two countries.

Bangladesh declared the result a "win-win situation for the peoples of Bangladesh and India." The development is expected to open the way for Bangladesh to exploit of undersea resources and further develop its fishing industry.

"We commend India for its willingness to resolve this matter peacefully by legal means and for its acceptance of the tribunal's judgment," ForeignMinister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali told a news conference on Tuesday.

The ruling means that Bangladesh will once again be eager to open up its waters for foreign companies to explore for hydrocarbons in the resource-rich sea. The maritime dispute is believed to have deterred firms from investing in the "sea blocks" being offered by Bangladesh.

In 2012, Bangladesh resolved a similar sea border dispute that had been a long standing point of contention with neighboring Myanmar, with a ruling made by the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea in Hamburg.

Bangladesh, with a population of 160 million and strong economic growth, has struggled with energy supplies in recent years.

Hilary Swank dumped by PR team in wake of Chechnya scandal

Hilary Swank’s bad month just got even worse. In the wake of the storm of bad press surrounding her paid appearance at a birthday event for Chechen president, and alleged human rights violator, Ramzan Kadyrov, the two-time Oscar winner has been dumped by her PR team at 42West, a source familiar with the situation confirms exclusively to EW.

The publicity firm parted ways with Swank over a disagreement on how best to deal with the fallout from the Oct. 5 event, which was also attended by Jean-Claude Van Damme, Seal, and English violinist Vanessa-Mae.

Earlier this week, it was widely reported that Swank fired her manager of eight years, Jason Weinberg, and two of his associates at CAA, though notthe transfer assembly and are configured so the top surfaces of the posts are in a single plane which is parallel to at least one of the first and second planes of the first and second conveyors. One of the posts is a leading post and the other post is a trailing post. The trailing post includes a stop for engaging an item received from the first conveyor in order to index items as they are transferred from the first conveyor and to lift such items to the second conveyor.
Further in accordance with the present invention, an apparatus for indexing and lifting randomly spaced items from a first conveyor in a first plane to a second conveyor in a second plane includes both an indexing assembly for indexing


items while they are moving on the first conveyor and a lifting assembly for lifting the indexed items from the first conveyor to a second conveyor in a plane different than the plane of the first conveyor. The indexing assembly serves to "prime" the items while on the first conveyor before they are fed onto the lifting assembly. The indexing assembly comprises a transfer assembly, a plurality of lugs, and pivot connectors for pivotally connecting the lugs to the transfer assembly. The lugs are connected to the transfer assembly in a spaced relationship that is less than a longitudinal dimension of the items that are being transferred on the conveyors. The indexing assembly further includes members for mounting the transfer assembly adjacent to the first conveyor and astaff.

Crossword aficionados are indeed a smart and friendly bunch, he and his fellow attendees are quick to relate. "I went my first year not knowing anyone who would be there," says Amy Andersen of Maynard, who will be attending for her third time. She's been doing the puzzles since she was a child, she says, and found out about the tournament on one of the Times's crossword puzzle forums (at www.nytimes.com). At her first tournament, she ended up dining with some fellow forum contributors. The highlight for her, however, was meeting the authors of many of the puzzles, which run daily in the paper, increasing in difficulty all week, culminating on Sunday. "It was like being in a room with my favorite authors. I'd beenreferee, who picks up their papers.)

As puzzle regulars will know, the game clues and words draw from a wide variety of topics, including popular culture and news of the day. One thing absent will be what Shortz calls "crosswordese," that is, words that appear almost exclusively in crossword puzzles. He offered the example of "anoa," the name of a Celebes ox. "You could spend a lifetime reading National Geographics and maybe see this word once," he scoffs.

By eliminating such arcane language and adding more timely words, Shortz has broadened readership of the Times puzzle since he took over in 1993, and the tournament reflects this expansion, with players ranging from their teens to their 80s.

a major improvement on his third-quarter performance. From July through September, Sanders raised about $25 million.

More than merely giving Sanders financial breathing room in the final weeks before the Iowa caucuses ― the kind of slack that could enable him to court more hard-to-get seniors with television ads ― it provides fodder for him to argue his electability in a general election match-up against President Donald Trump. In an email to supporters on Wednesday, Sanders predicted that he would net 50 million donations in a battle against Trump, making $1 billion an attainable fundraising goal.

And while Buttigieg, with whom Sanders and Biden are in a neck-and-neck contest in Iowa and New Hampshire, also enjoys ample cash, he has endured scrutiny for holding private, high-dollar fundraisers, including one heldImmigrants jailed for detention centre fire

Ten immigrants, most of them from Mali and Morocco, have been jailed for their role in a fire in a detention centre in the Paris suburb of Vincennes. Their lawyers called the verdict political and biased.

"This is a heavy sentence, which is political and unjustified and follows the prosecution's demands almost to the letter," said defence lawyer Irène Terrel, as anti-racist activists protested outside the court.

The accused were found guilty of arson and violence against people in authority. The heaviest sentence was three years in jail. Two other defendants received two-and-a-half year sentences, three were jailed for two years, two for one year and two to eight months.

The fire followed the death of a Tunisian inmate, and ravaged what was at the time


the largest detention centre in the country for immigrants waiting to be deported. It sparked further debate on the controversial immigration policy of President Nicolas Sarkozy's government.

It followed several clashes between inmates and warders. Police concluded that it was started by piles of mattresses being set alight in four rooms.

Defence lawyers walked out of the trial, which took place in January and February. They accused the court of accepting biased testimony from police officers and inconclusive evidence from video surveillance and complained that insufficient attention was paid to the Tunisian inmate's death.

The court turned down their demands for a visit to the scene and assessments of the accuseds' characters.abortive military coup in 2016 that Mr Erdogan says was orchestrated by Fethullah Gulen, a cleric based in Pennsylvania.

Mr Brunson’s family say he has lost weight and suffered depression, and was kept in overcrowded conditions. His cause has been taken up by evangelical Christians in America, led by Mike Pence, the vice-president.

Complimentary DNA for precursor molecules of chicken and quail luteinizing hormone (LH) beta subunits have cloned. From nucleotide sequences of the cDNA, the primary structures of the LH beta subunit molecules of these avian species were deduced. The primary structures were similar, the amino acid sequence homology being 91.6%. For the alpha subunit, cloning of cDNA has been performed also in these two avian species. Predicted primary structures of the alpha subunit molecules of these birds were completely identical, although nucleotide sequences of their cDNA were slightly different. The LH beta subunit molecules of both birds had 15 Pro residues at the same positions. Ten of them shared the same positions with Pro residues in the mammalian LH beta subunits, in which aboutAdvocates ask lawmakers to update 600-year-old eviction law

Maryland inherited still stands.

At least 300 Maryland families were subject to self-help evictions in 2012, including tenants who rented houses without active leases and were locked out while they were at work or on an errand, according to the bill's proponents.

The Court of Appeals case centered on the eviction of a Baltimore man who was locked out of the house his parents once owned nine months after the property was sold at a foreclosure sale. The legislation, as drafted, calls for new eviction standards between landlords and tenants, homeowners in foreclosure situations, and mobile home residents and park owners.

Pat Bradley said about four months after their lease expired in late October, their landlord told her and her husband they had to move out, saying, "This isn't working out."than 40 states have prohibited or limited such evictions, according to C. Matthew Hill, a staff attorney at the Public Justice Center. Being locked out of a home is "an absolute horror" to those who have experienced it, he said.

"It is an incredible stress," Hill said. "It's not just about their furniture or about their TVs. They have lost items that have a lot of sentimental value in many cases."

For some, the situation can be dire, he said.

"You're talking about instant homelessness," Hill said. "It's almost a wild-wild West mentality that may have had its place in 1381, but it doesn't today."

The legislation would also stop landlords and property owners from withholding services such as water and electricity to tenants and occupants. It calls for landlords who evict

Furthermore, individuals can be high on more than one orientation. For example, research with elite athletes has revealed that they are high on both win and goal orientations (Hardy et al., 1996). Finally, researchers (Sambolec, Kerr, & Messe, 2007) have found that individuals high on competitiveness try harder and perform better than individuals low on competitiveness on coactive tasks. Competitiveness seems to be enhanced when one is directly competing against another, as the social comparison aspect is amplified. Thus coaches can play this competitive aspect up or down, depending on their goals and orientation toward competition.

Finally, in his book No Contest: The Case Against Competition, Kohn (1992) also effectively argued against the following competition myths: (a) competition builds character (e.g., self-confidence, self-esteem); (b) competition motivates us to do our best; (c) competition is the best way to have a good time; and (d) competition is part of human nature. In fact, Kohn argues that competition has a number of negative consequences, including (a) creating stress, which interferes with optimal performance; (b) focusing attention on beating others rather than on performing well; (c) fostering insecurity and undermining self-esteem; (d) fostering interpersonal hostility, prejudice, and aggression; and (e) creating undue envy, humiliation, and shame.

3. Explain how to create an effective team climate.

Team climate develops from how players perceive the interrelationships among the group members. Some of the critical factors affecting team climate are social support, proximity, distinctiveness, fairness, and similarity.

4. Describe how to maximize individual performance in team sports.

Individual skills are only moderately related to ultimate team success. Thus, getting greater contributions from each player is critical for high-level team performance. Through videotaping, helping players understand their roles, and increasing identifiability, you can maximize an individual's sense of contributing to the team effort.

Social loafing is the phenomenon whereby individuals within a group put forth less than 100% effort because of losses in motivation. In essence, there

athlete was proficient at reaching the desired level of relaxation without the tape.

Phase 3

In this phase, the athlete concentrated on each inhalation and silently said relax to herself on each exhalation. The sport psychologist had the athlete think about various physically taxing, uncomfortable situations (e.g., shuttle runs to exhaustion) in which she was asked to relax as best she could. While she did this, the relaxation technique was reduced to approximately 5 to 20 seconds, requiring four or five breaths. The athlete was now practicing three versions of the original relaxation technique: (a) the 20-minute version used for deep relaxation, but not to be used on match days; (b) the 5-minute version, which was used for gaining composure and could be used on competition days; and (c) the(Magyar & Duda, 2000). For example, in one well-conducted randomized clinical trial, Cupal and Brewer (2001) examined the effects of imagery and relaxation on knee strength, anxiety, and pain in 30 athletes recovering from anterior cruciate ligament knee reconstruction.

Participants were assigned to either an intervention group that took part in 10 relaxation and guided imagery sessions; a placebo control group that received attention, encouragement, and support but did not participate in imagery and relaxation; or a no-intervention group. Results revealed that compared with participants in the placebo control and no-intervention control groups, those taking part in the relaxation and guided imagery sessions experienced significantly less reinjury anxiety and pain while exhibiting greater knee strength. Thus, using relaxation and imagery during rehabilitation was beneficial both physically and psychologically!

aggression facilitates performance outcome (Widmeyer, 1984), whereas others believe it does not (Gill, 2000). The research is difficult to interpret because clear distinctions have not been drawn between aggression and assertive behavior. Silva (1980) argued that aggression would not facilitate performance because it elevates a person's arousal level and shifts attention to nonperformance issues (e.g., hurting the opponent). In the end, the relation of aggression to performance may be of secondary importance. More central issues are whether you value performance at any cost, your concern about sport participants, and your willingness to ensure that aggression does not pay—but that those who act aggressively do (Widmeyer, 1984).

UNWTO conference forges closer relationship between tourism and the media

14 September 2011

Focusing on the people behind the tourism numbers and maintaining an honest and open relationship with the media, are among the main recommendations to emerge from discussions between media representatives and tourism officials attending the first UNWTO International Conference on Tourism and the Media (September 12-13, Zagreb, Croatia).

Under the title “Tourism in the Headlines” and in partnership with the government of Croatia and the World Federation of Travel Journalists and Writers (FIJET), the conference aimed to analyze the relationship between tourism and the media and address why, despite being one of the world’s largest economic sectors, tourism is not sufficiently featured in the political, business, or financial news.

Opening the conference, Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor stressed theoptical module is secured and fixed within the cage. When rotating the bail by the portion put in the groove as the center, the hook, linking with the motion of the bail, changes its hooking position with the cage. Accordingly, the optical module may be released from the cage. In the state that the optical connector is mated with the optical receptacle of the module, the bail can not rotate, accordingly, the optical module can not released from the cage.


"The truth isn't always scary."

Sheena blinked at the sight of Oum sitting still at the center of his room.

Now, normally, they slept in one room, but during extremely busy work days, they tended to sleep at where they worked. Since Sheena did, indeed, have her own line of work and businesses, she did not mind having to avoid Oum while he worked. After all, they did spend time together whenever they rested or ate something.

As of recent days, Oum had grown quiet about talking about his show. Despite its currently good reception, the animator never really said anything about it at a certain point during the development of the episodes. She found it strange that he would not think about sharing ideas to her.

She found it even strangerto see four small children using Oum's body as a playground.

A red-haired midget tumbled onto Oum's lap, only to climb up his right arm and repeat the action endlessly. Meanwhile, a dark-haired girl lay still on his head as she slept quietly, while a snowy heiress was chasing after a blonde brawler that stole a piece of her cookie.

Oum sat still, with four tiny things using his body as if it were a jungle gym.

He had called her up to apparently inform her of something, and now, she sort of understood why he called with such a serious tone.

"…"

"…"

The silent squeals of two hyperactive sisters and the cries of one angry Schnee were the only sounds that filled the room.

Soon, the Huntresses seemed to notice Sheena, for they


soon stopped playing. Ruby fell on Oum's lap one last time before staring at his wife with curious eyes, while Weiss only managed to take note of Sheena only when Yang stopped running and bumped right into her. Three small Huntresses stared at the woman as if she was the one of the most amazing things they had seen in their lives.

Oum remained in his position with his eyes closed.

Sheena remained standing with a plate of fruits in her hands.

To prevent herself from dropping the plate out of sheer surprise, the woman carefully put it on the long worktable before taking small steps towards Oum. Each step she took, the Huntresses' eyes seemed to grow wider and wider.

The woman soon found herself standing close to her husband. Crouchinggently to not look harmful to the girls, Sheena stared with her knees near her face as she crossed her arms around them.

Silence took over for a short moment.

Then, as if she realized that silence did, indeed, take over the room, Ruby squealed as she leapt over to Sheena. The red Huntress jumped from Oum's knee to Sheena's knee.

A Ruby to the knee felt surprisingly soft.

Climbing up to stand on Sheena's knee, Ruby straightened her legs as she looked up at the wife of the man who created her. After remaining still for a few seconds, the girl burst into a fit of curiosity and fascination, as she soon began to wave at Sheena with a wide, open smile.

Sheena glanced at Oum, her eyes pleading for something. Oum


opened his eyes very slightly, as if he knew what she was thinking, and slowly nodded before closing his eyes again.

The lady stopped hugging her knees as her hands reluctantly raised themselves in the air. With great caution, Sheena carefully picked Ruby up, making a cup with her hands for Ruby to stand on. She stared at the Huntress with gray eyes, and Ruby stared back at the woman's hazy blue eyes while waving fervently.

Oum could tell that Sheena just wanted to hug the living life out of Ruby, but he knew that she had self-control. With that in mind, he opened his eyes just in time to see his wife looking as if she were about to die out of Ruby's innocence.

Needless to say, he wondered howon Earth he managed to remain sane during the Huntresses' stay at his place. In fact, he was surprised that his wife began to play with Ruby without even questioning on where she came from. On a first glance, it seemed unrealistic, but then again, even he himself experienced the confusion of wondering where the small girls came from.

Perhaps it was the magic of Team RWBY's colorful members?

The sight of Sheena petting Ruby with an amazed smile did confirm two things.

She was the first person to meet the tiny miracles other than himself. And she seemed outstandingly happy about carrying Ruby in her hands.

The next day, she bombarded him with endless amounts of questions about the tiny miracles that appeared in his room. Oum did not know how


Red Deer’s Vanier Wood neighbourhood to get commercial development

A formerly contentious commercial development for the edge of Vanier Woods was approved by Red Deer City Council this week.

Developer Darryl Copeland received the rezoning he wanted, as well as the change needed to the area restructure plan to build a 38,000 square-foot, two-storey strip mall on a triangular lot in Vanier Woods at 19th Street (Delburne Road) and Vermont Avenue.

He intends to open a convenience store, medical clinic, liquor outlet, car wash, gas station and other services at the site.

On Monday, several city councillors praised Copeland, of C2C Site Developments Inc., for taking the time to have a thorough discussion with area residents about the project. The most recent round of letters from Vanier Woods residents were overwhelmingly inagreed to keep the liquor store as far away from residents as possible. He was also required by Council to build the gas station and car wash on the edge of the property closest to 19th Street.

The Calgary-based developer also agreed to retain as many mature trees as possible along the northwest border of the lot. A fence and green belt will separate the development from the closest homes.

Construction is expected to begin this spring and to be completed, in stages, by the spring of 2018.


Great Lakes levels rise, but slump hasn’t ended

(AP) TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Abundant rain and snowfall have given the Great Lakes a boost this year, but it’s too early to declare an end to slumping water levels that have plagued the inland seas since the late 1990s and made life miserable for cargo shippers and marina operators, federal scientists said Wednesday.

All five of the lakes were significantly higher when measured at the end of October than a year earlier, when much of the nation was mired in drought. Even Lakes Huron and Michigan, which have fared worst during the low-water period and in January hit their lowest level since record keeping began in 1918, have risen nearly a foot since October 2012.

At a House Armed Services hearing Tuesday, the commander of U.S. Africa Command said he submitted the request for troops serving in Niger to receive hostile fire pay last year.

"We submitted that with Niger and other countries in the area where it is dangerous several months ago to [the Office of the Secretary of Defense]," Gen. Thomas Waldhauser said.

The Pentagon defines service members as eligible for Imminent Danger Pay if they are subject to hostile fire or mine explosions, in an area near hostile fire or mine explosions which


endanger the member, or if they are killed, injured or wounded by hostile fire, mines, or any hostile action.

U.S. service members who deploy to some other African nations — Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Sudan — were already eligible for hostile fire pay, according to the Department of Defense website.

The U.S. military training mission in Niger gained international attention in October after a dozen American soldiers were ambushed by some 50 fighters associated with the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.

Three U.S. soldiers were found dead after the firefight: Bryan Black, 35,of Puyallup, Wash.; Jeremiah Johnson, 39, of Springboro, Ohio; and Dustin Wright, 29, of Lyons, Ga. Two others were wounded.

A fourth U.S. soldier, Sgt. La David Johnson, was missing for nearly 48 hours before he was found dead.

Two weeks after the attack, Secretary of Defense James Mattis said when the soldiers set out on their reconnaissance mission an attack was "considered unlikely."

American troops deployed to Niger for more than 30 days already received an extra $150 per month in Hardship Duty Pay and $250 per month for Family Separation Pay.

There were about 800 American troops operating in Niger at the time of the October attack.


Harvey Weinstein allegedly asked Ashley Judd if he could give her a massage during a business meeting — that’s just one of multiple sexual harassment allegations pushing the Hollywood honcho to step down temporarily.

The Weinstein Co. founder was the focus of a New York Times investigation claiming he engaged in sexual harassment and misconduct with actresses, former assistants and employees over a 3-decade period. The Judd incident allegedly went down 20 years ago when Weinstein invited her to his Beverly Hills hotel. She expected a business breakfast meeting, but according to the report … Weinstein was in his room, wearing a bathrobe when he made the indecent proposal.

The Times says Weinstein’s reached at least 8 settlements with women over the years — the most recent with an Italianthe government of giving him special treatment at the same time President Obama is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants.

But Shapiro said Onyango Obama was eligible for a green card under federal immigration law because he arrived in America before 1972 and had displayed “good moral character.” The judge said the 69-year-old paid taxes, volunteered in the community, and was a “kind and decent” person.

During his testimony, Obama begged the judge for the chance to stay, saying he did not know Kenya anymore. He left at age 19 to come to the United States.

“America is a land of opportunities, a land of chances,” Obama told the judge.

Obama also invoked his nephew’s name during the hearing, which lasted more than an hour. Asked if he had relatives in the


and then, Framingham, where he manages Conti Liquors for $22,000 a year.

For one, Obama said his name is Obama Okech Onyango, not Onyango Obama, as Framingham police reported.

Under questioning from his lawyer, Margaret Wong, Obama testified that he came to the United States in 1963 to attend a prestigious boys’ school in Cambridge. He said the first year of his tuition was paid by a friend of his brother, Barack Obama Sr., the president’s father. But Obama could not afford the following years, so he left.

He said he graduated from high school in Cambridge and earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Boston University, contradicting reports he never finished high school.

But it is unclear how he paid for college. Boston University would not confirm that he attended theschool.

Obama said he renewed his student visa, but in the 1970s the visa expired and he was here illegally. He was ordered deported several times. He did not explain why he never left.

He expressed remorse for his 2011 drunken driving arrest, calling it a mistake
to drink three beers and then go out to buy milk. The case was dismissed after he admitted to sufficient facts in Framingham court, served a year’s probation, and incurred other penalties. After his arrest, he allegedly told an officer, “I think I will call the White House.”

Obama said that his record was otherwise clean and that he typically worked six days a week at the store. He said he rarely drinks and volunteers in his community, such as raising money to aid immigrants


company like Legally Blonde and The Family Stone.

Earlier this decade, Wilson made a move that's not uncommon for actors by taking a stab at writing and directing. His foray into behind-the-camera work was called The Wendell Baker Story. Wilson wore four hats on this independent comedy, serving as writer, producer, director, and star. Keeping it in the family, Luke brought along his big brothers, the famous Owen as co-star and the less prominent Andrew as co-director.

Wendell Baker is a Texas schemer whose latest gig finds him selling official-looking driver's licenses, complete with holographic touches, to illegal Mexican immigrants. His girlfriend Doreen (Eva Mendes) objects, as does the wife of his faithful partner in crime Reyes (Jacob Vargas), but while Wendell's not happy, it takes getting busted by theStanton rank high among the class of character actors who gain notice in just about every role they play. Despite their advancing ages, neither brings anything less than a solid turn and some heart to the proceedings. Embodying a more restrained character, it's tough to get a real feel for country musician Kris Kristofferson, though he too fares well while seen in moderation. Given a role that is unusually subdued in scope and design, Will Ferrell nonetheless serves up some of the film's comedically strongest moments in his two scenes.

The Wendell Baker Story registers as a benign debut for the sibling directors. They do opt a bit more for style over substance and this faults the film. Reflecting visual planning but lacking consistency, the style isn't all that


when movies boasting A-list actors are unable to secure wide theatrical distribution. The Wendell Baker Story is no exception. Though no masterpiece, this is definitely not something I can classify as a bad movie even in a more discerning mood. Still, it took over two years from the movie's first festival screening to receive general release and even then, indie distributor ThinkFilm went no wider than 17 theaters, during which the flick was barely a blip on industry screens. Five months after its extremely limited theatrical run, Wendell Baker is now destined to reach its largest and most concentrated audience to date, on DVD from ThinkFilm.

The Wendell Baker Story is presented exclusively in its intended 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio and enhanced for 16x9 displays. The film's low-budget, small-studioas Luke Wilson and Andrew Wilson each pick up one of the titular veteran actors and unite for an afternoon of noshing and discussion. The piece is utterly captivating when Stanton and Cassel talk about their lives, careers, and Wendell Baker experiences,

but it gets more than a little weird and depressing when the frail-looking Stanton shares his wild, nihilistic views on life. It closes with Harry Dean performing a song on the guitar.

The more conventional inclusion, "Making Wendell Baker: On Location with Wilsons" (13:35), sheds quite a bit of light on production with a nice blend of set footage and interview comments. The latter do gravitate towards praise, but the remarks also inform on the nature and origins of the film.

The Bonus Scenes section runs just shy of


There's the occasional anecdote, but even these tend not to pertain to the film at hand. I assumed that the discussion of distribution difficulties would be a long shot; I didn't expect there to be so little said about the film as a whole. Those expecting the rookie to enthusiastically comment on his first experience as writer/director/producer will be heartily disappointed; the liveliest the track gets is Wilson laughing heartily at his movie. At least he's having a good time.

"The Wendell Baker Photo Album" is a 2½-minute slideshow of publicity and continuity photos for the film, at least some of which were presumably taken by the Wilsons' mother, who served as a stills photographer.

Next is a video of Billy Joe Shaver singing "I'm Gonna Live Forever" (3:15)

while leaningagainst a tree. The song is fine, but calling this single-shot clip a "special performance" seems a bit of a stretch.

Finally, the Trailer Gallery merely plays the same promos that appear at the start-of-the-disc, previewing In the Shadow of the Moon, Bordertown, Pigs, Farce of the Penguins, and the Strangers with Candy movie.

The disc scores creativity points for its menus, two of which offer a rotation of character photos in addition to score-set clips montage. In addition to the touches of animation, the 16x9-enhanced menus provide transitions which illustrate a belief in the film's comedic worth.

Inside the case, where chapter inserts have grown increasingly rare, one finds a "postcard" with an amusing note from Wendell about his movie.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

The Wendell Baker Story is neither as dynamic as you'd


expect from its accomplished talent nor as disastrous as you'd gather from the film's delayed, highly stunted theatrical run. Luke Wilson's premiere attempt at writing and (with brother Andrew) directing proves to be a middling one. The film easily holds one's attention and gently entertains but doesn't produce the big laughs, poignancy, and indelible characters it aspires to.

ThinkFilm treats the little-seen film to a respectable DVD. While not enabling the film to be mistaken for a big studio work, picture and sound are sufficient. A few extras are fairly disposable, including the star's severely disappointing commentary, but the worthwhile deleted scenes, trailer, and two good featurettes add value, as do a few minor touches in design and packaging. While the film certainly isn't one to buy without seeingA former Chelsea youth player has alleged that Gwyn Williams presided over a “mini apartheid state” there and may join a group of former members of the junior setup seeking to take legal action against the club.

The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, was prompted to explore legal action after reading in the Guardian about the experiences of other former Chelsea youth players.

Amid mounting allegations of abuse, denied by Williams, Chelsea have brought in Barnardo’s, Britain’s largest children’s charity, to oversee an independent investigation.

It is understood more players are set to come forward to allege racial abuse in the 1980s and 1990s. The latest player to speak out said he decided to go public after reading the accounts of Grant Lunn and Gary Baker, two white men who

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee State walk-on football player and former Marine Steven Rhodes did not quite grasp how public his battle with the NCAA had become.

Rhodes - a 24-year-old freshman who was initially denied eligibility by the NCAA - does not even have cable TV. But he needed no help interpreting the smile across his coach's face at practice Monday afternoon.

"Coach (Rick Stockstill) was smiling real big. I was ecstatic when he told me. I'm going to play now," said Rhodes, who was granted his immediate eligibility by an NCAA ruling Monday afternoon.

"This has all been crazy, but I feel like I got a whole new life now. Thank the Lord, I'm going to play football this year."

The NCAA


had originally ruled that Rhodes, a Marine Sergeant who recently finished his active enlistment, had to forfeit two years of eligibility and take a mandatory redshirt year this season because he participated in a military-only recreational football league at a Marine base in 2012.

MTSU initially won a partial appeal last week, as the NCAA reinstated Rhodes' two years of eligibility (for a total of four seasons) but upheld his mandatory redshirt year. But on Monday, the NCAA granted Rhodes' immediate eligibility after his plight went public in a big way.

Virtually every major news organization picked up Rhodes' story after it was initially broken by The Daily News Journal in Murfreesboro on Sunday. Social media pounded away at the NCAA for postponing a Marine's dream of playing college football,we appreciate the school's partnership," Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs, said in a statement. "As a part of the ongoing review of NCAA rules, our members will examine the organized competition rules, especially as it impacts those returning from military service. We thank Steven for his service to our country and wish him the best as he begins college."

Rhodes' early contribution will likely be limited to special teams, as he has not played football since his senior season at Antioch (Tenn.) High School in 2006 - aside from 12 "intramural" games at his Marine base last year.

Rhodes, an Antioch native, currently lives in Smyrna, Tenn., with his two sons, 3-year-old Kameron and 1-year-old Devon. His wife, Adrienne, is finishing up her final month


of active enlistment in the U.S. Navy in San Diego. She is scheduled to be on leave in Murfreesboro for MTSU's season-opening game.

Rhodes called his wife to tell of his immediate eligibility following the Blue Raiders' practice, but she had already heard the news.

Rhodes - dubbed "Superstar" by his teammates after suddenly stepping into the spotlight - said he will comfortably retreat from the national attention his story has drawn.

"And I'm still not getting cable," Rhodes said. "I want to wait until the start of the month so the bill isn't so big. And I don't have time to watch TV. I've got work to do. I am going to play football this season."respondent court's action in granting the motion to suppress evidence was in error and that a peremptory writ of mandate should issue.
 Statement of Facts
 On September 7, 1968, at approximately 3 a.m., Police Officer Lunder observed the real party in interest (hereinafter referred to as the defendant) hitchhiking at the intersection of Avalon Boulevard and Imperial Highway in the City of Los Angeles. The defendant had stepped from the curb and approached a car that was stopped for a red light. The officer advanced toward the defendant to cite him for a violation of Vehicle Code section 21957, hitchhiking on a roadway. As Officer Lunder approached the defendant, he saw a cylindrical bulge in the defendant's right rear pocket and also noticed that the defendant was holding


a cigarette in his left hand. When the officer reached the defendant, he patted-down the defendant for weapons and ascertained that the right rear pocket did not contain a weapon. The officer then asked the defendant "What he had in his pocket." The defendant replied, "Here, hold this, I will get it for you," and handed the cigarette that was in his left hand to the officer. The cigarette was hand- rolled in white paper with the ends crimped. The defendant then reached into his right rear pocket with his right hand and pulled out an item and threw it in the street about 15 or 20 feet from where he and the officer were standing.
 Officer Lunder testified that he had seen marijuana about 30 times previouslythe hand rolled cigarette for the purpose of inspecting its contents constitutes a search, that no consent, express or implied, was given by the defendant whereby Officer Lunder was authorized to open the cigarette and examine its contents, that the officer had no probable cause to arrest or search before the cigarette was opened, and that the "fruit of the poisoned tree" doctrine applies to the search of the defendant's pockets and the seizure of the two pills from his pocket during that search.
 Was the Questioning by the Police Officer Improper?
 [1a] There was nothing improper about the officer's inquiry with regard to the bulge in the defendant's right rear pocket. The officer observed a misdemeanor being committed in his presence, and he had a right to


time he published America's first
all original comic book, New Fun.
This was a big deal
because up to this point
all comic book publications
had been reprints
of comic book strips
found in the funny section
in various syndicated newspapers.
He followed that with New Comics
and finally Detective Comics.
But the journey was not easy.
In order to publish Detective Comics,
Malcolm had to take on an experienced
publishing partner named Harry Donenfeld.
- Now here's where it gets fun.
In 1937 Malcolm and Donenfeld,
along with accountant Jack Liebowitz,
founded Detective Comics Inc.
but the relationship didn't last long,
as comics historian Gerard Jones explains
in his book Men of Tomorrow,
the year after their partnership
Donenfeld arranged for
Malcolm and his wife
to go on a cruise to think up some ideas
on how to work past
their financial decline
only to return home to discover the locks
to his office had been
changedand he had been
sued by his partner for
non payment resulting
in the loss of his company.
After all of that nonsense
Malcolm called it quits
on the entire comics industry.
- And that's four years of history.
Alrighty, only 78 more.
Shortly after, all ownership
of National Allied Publications,
NAP for short, and Detective
Comics Incorporated
transferred to Donenfeld
and his partner Liebowitz.
NAP was merged with Detective Comics
whose named was pushed into the background
as a subsidiary of the new company.
They also removed the Allied from NAP
to become simply National Publications
or sometimes National Comics.
You're about to see a
pattern in this next bit.
- In enters the official father
of the American Comic Book,
Max Gaines.
Which just sounds like the name
of a silver aged, body
building super hero.
Now Gaines was called the father
of the American Comic because even though
Malcolm Wheeler Nicholson
created the first
all original American comic,
Gaines


is actually the
man credited with creating
the first American comic book period
with 1933's Famous Funnies
a carnival of comics.
Though this comic book was exclusively
reprints of newspaper funnies
it served to prepare us
for what we would see
as the modern comic book format.
After this venture, Gaines formed his own
comic book publication company in 1938
and found funding with none other
than Donenfeld himself.
This new company, All-American Comics
became a sister company
to National Publication
with Gaines as the primary shareholder
and Liebowitz as a minor partner.
- Shortly after All-American
Comics introduced
some of our most beloved titles, such as
The Flash, Wonder Woman,
The Green Lantern,
and many other golden age favorites.
All-American prequently
lent a lot of these
characters to National
Publications in exchange
for the ability to use some
of National's characters,
even releasing some titles
under the unofficial
DC logo to help said
titles ride on the success
of Batman's popularity
in DetectiveComics.
This whole transaction was not done
by accident, however.
Donenfeld had made Liebowitz a partner
in All-American Comics, leaving Gaines
stuck with National and unable to work
with other publishers.
I can't feel too bad about this though.
Gaines was widely reported as a loud,
angry, and aggressive
man with reports from his
own son William, that he would viciously
beat him with a belt while shouting,
"You will never amount to anything!"
- As the relationship with Donenfeld began
to turn sour Gaines removed
DC's unofficial logo
from his publications and no longer
used National characters.
Finally in 1944 Gaines accepted an offer
from Donenfeld to buy out his share
of All-American Comics
and he went his own way
later opening his own publication company
called EC Comics or Educational Comics
but we'll get back to that.
This move left Donenfeld
as the owner of all three
companies which he merged into one called
National


Comics Publications
or NCP for short.
- And there we have it,
the company that will
eventually change it's
name to DC Comics is now
formed from three sister
companies into one.
And this will happen in the 1940's.
Hard part's done.
Despite all the name swapping NCP
had been branding itself as Superman DC
since 1940.
Ironically, NCP protected it's titles
and character names fiercely by pursuing
lawsuits for copy write infringement
as rival companies experienced success.
An example of this can be seen in Scott's
episode explaining who owns the rights
to Captain and Marvel.
You can check that out right after this.
- An important thing to note here
super hero comics in
the industry as a whole
flourish during it's golden age.
During World War two the comics were
as much propaganda as entertainment.
Promoting the soliders
overseas as super men,
encouraging Americans at home to keep up
the war effort, even shipping comictitles
overseas that were
specifically geared towards
soliders for the purpose
of boosting morale.
After the war ended in 1945
soliders returning home
continued buying comics out of habit
and the industry received
a temporary boost
in sales, but that did not last long.
As these super hero comics struggled
for a voice without a depression or a war
to give them direction.
Presumably Americans just got tired
of all the fighting.
They didn't need their entertainment
to constantly remind them of that stress.
They needed to take a break.
- In response companies
began cancelling a large
number of their costume hero titles
and tried their hand
at other publications,
such as All Star Western,
House of Mystery and
many other titles I don't
have the time to list.
But if we go back to
EC on August 20th 1947
Max Gaines the man who helped us create
NCP Comics with his all
star comics contribution
was killed in a


motor boating accident.
With his death the company
transferred to his son
William Gaines, or Bill for short.
You remember, the kid who would never
amount to anything?
At that time Educational Comics had making
its name publishing comic book adaptations
of bible stories.
But it wasn't long after
that change in ownership
that Bill Gaines decided
to go a different direction
with the company and rebranded EC
as Entertaining Comics.
With this change in name EC started
to produce comics that
ranged from science fiction
to satire, but Bill really found his niche
when he pioneered the
genre of horror comics
with books like Tales from the Crypt.
He found a lot of success
in these new titles
and was off and running for a time.
- In 1954 the infamous attack on comics
came about and NCP, EC
along with many other
publishers came into accusations
of corrupting America's youth forcing
many comics publishers out ofbusiness.
The book that started the movement
Doctor Fredric Wertham's
Seduction of the Innocent
asserted that the violence,
drug use, and crimes
seen in comic books had and would continue
to promote similar
behaviors in young readers
who would look to imitate these stories.
I made a whole video about it right here.
EC and more specifically
it's horror comics
came under some of the
strongest accusations.
Bill himself was demonized
in the public eye
for his testimony at a
hearing with the Senate
subcommittee for juvenile delinquency
where he unapologetically
defended his belief
that there was no way that his comics
blood, violence, and monsters considered
were corrupting the youth.
Instead taking the stance
that everything he had printed
was in good taste and meant for people
of sound mind for the
purpose of affordable
entertainment.
The Comics Code Authority
or CCA, was founded
that same year and Gaines
had refused to take part
in this for a time as
he had already


cancelled
his horror comics and considered it
ridiculous that he would need approval
for his new line of
clean realistic stories.
The backlash from distributors drove him
to bankruptcy and by
the time he had accepted
the Comics Code Authority
no one would sell his comic.
Now because of this EC
shut down all of their
comic book titles except for one,
which had made the transition into
a particular magazine.
But more on that in a future video.
Years later in 1960 Gaines sold
to Kinney Parking Company,
remember that name.
- Now the Comics Code
Authority is important to us
because after this NCP
felt they had to change
everything.
This change started with the 1956 release
of Showcase Number Four
which had premiered
a new version of the previously published
super hero, The Flash.
This new character Barry
Allen was given powers
through a lab accident
and after discovering
that he now had super
speed took on the name
ofhis favorite comic book super hero
ushering in what is known
as the silver age of comics.
DC continued to completely
overhaul their classics
such as the Green Lantern, Hawk Man,
and updated versions of Batman, Superman,
and Wonder Woman.
Bringing super hero comics
back into popularity.
Five years later in
1961 Donenfeld passed on
and his son Erwin
Donenfeld took over for NCP
and the name of the
company changed once more
to National Periodical Publications,
now NPP for short.
- The next big change for NPP came in 1969
when they were purchased
by Kinney National
and Entertainment Company who also
bought Warner Brothers that same year
and if you remember Bill Gaines' company
nine years prior.
This is why all DC movies
are released through
Warner Brothers, unlike Marvel Comics
who were at the time forced to license
some of their intellectual
properties to different
film studios over the years.
Shortly after Kinney National was involved
in a


price fixing
scandal and separated its
entertainment fixtures
from its non entertainment
fixtures to become Warner Communications
and National Kinney
Corporation respectively.
Through these ownership transitions NPP
kept her name though still
branded the unofficial
name of DC or DC Comics.
- And enters Jeanette Conn.
- Conn!
- With the success of
three magazine launches
and a Harvard degree under her belt
she was made NPP's editor in 1976.
History had it's eyes on her.
Right away in an effort
to revitalize the company,
Conn revamped NPP in 1977 by finally
giving it the name it had
been asking for all along
DC Comics.
This revamp also came
with an official new logo
and a pay structure that granted royalties
to artists and creators.
And there you go, DC
Comics is now official
and Conn's hard work served to pioneer
the modern comic book company from creator
compensation to release schedules
and everything in between.
She was swiftly made
president of DCComics
and Editor in Chief and
went down in history
as the first lady of comics.
- Now for quick notes
on the current meaning
of DC Comics, for quite some time it was
a branding tool for the company in order
to ride the success of
the Detective Comics title
but it's taken on a life
and meaning of its own.
Much like the SATs the
acronym used to mean
something but now it's just a name.
So yes DC still technically
stands for Detective Comics
but this has been meaningless
for quite some time
as the company has gained popularity it no
longer needs to promote itself based off
the success of that one title.
It is completely
acceptable to say DC Comics
even though some folks might annoyingly
point out that it's redundant since you're
effectively saying
Detective Comics Comics.
It's not really redundant
because it's not really
an acronym anymore.

That has implications for wildlife, vegetation and ground temperatures, say the scientists, who looked at four decades of snow data for the Canadian Arctic and beyond.

Combined with recent news that the Arctic sea ice retreated to an all-time low this summer, it suggests climate change may be happening much faster than expected, said Dr. Chris Derksen, a research scientist for Environment Canada and one of the study's authors.

"What we discovered was that there is a significant reduction in the amount of snow cover, particularly in May and June… and the rate of that decline is actually slightly faster than the


that incident energy. And when you absorb that energy at the land surface, that contributes to further heating and warming."

Previous studies found that snow isn't arriving any earlier in the fall.

The article published in the latest Geophysical Research Letters, the journal of the American Geophysical Union, said the changes in the past five years were "profound."

The five lowest June snow cover values all occurred in the past five years, it said. In Eurasia, new records for the lowest spring snow cover extent have been set every year since 2008, and in North America, record lows have been set in three of the past five years.

The authors calculated the rate of decline of June snow cover extent between 1979 and 2011 is more than 17 per cent each decade.

Apparently, only the middle axle is driven. The other axle serves only to help with weight distribution, apparently a concern for an extra-long van like this one.

Strengthening Tropical Storm Sandy Nears Jamaica

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- Jamaicans are bracing for sheets of rain, violent winds and a powerful storm surge as a strengthening Tropical Storm Sandy closes in. Sandy is expected to dump at least 10 inches of rain in parts of Jamaica. The storm's outer bands have already brought intermittent showers to the Caribbean island. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Sandy is expected to become a hurricane as it nears Jamaica tomorrow, then travel over the island from south to north. Jamaica's government has issued a hurricane warning and is warning people in flood-prone areas to be on alert. Cuba has issued a hurricane watch for several provinces, including Guantanamo. Because of the storm, authorities at the U.S. base there are tryingThe present invention relates to a wind turbine generator system, and in particular to a wind turbine generator system capable of continuous operation of a wind turbine by maintaining the rotational velocity of the wind turbine.
Explanation will be given on the conventional wind turbine generator system. The wind turbine is connected to a generator. The wind turbine is rotated by wind power and the wind turbine drives the generator, so that the generator generates electricity. When using a synchronous generator as the generator, the stator of the generator is connected to a converter and AC power outputted from the generator is converted into DC power by the converter. Furthermore, the power is converted into AC power of a commercial frequency by an inverter and supplied to a power


rotational velocity fluctuation.
However, control of the pitch angle by driving the wind turbine blade according to the wind velocity includes mechanical operation and cannot have a high response. When the power instruction given to the converter is adjusted according to the wind velocity, decision is normally made by the power curve based on the average wind velocity and it is difficult to follow the transient wind velocity change. Accordingly, when the wind velocity changes suddenly and the rotational velocity of the wind turbine deviates from the operation range, the wind turbine may stop. In this case, the wind turbine should be started again.
However, in order to increase the wind turbine generating electrical quantity, it is preferable that the wind turbine continuously operate even when the wind velocity suddenlyBy now you know last week's big cable news: giant Comcast (CMCSA) is acquiring lesser giant Time Warner Cable (TWC) in a $45 billion stock deal. It will add about 11 million new subscribers to Comcast's current cache of 22 million customers. The combined base represents more than a third of all cable subscribers in the U.S. But there's more to the story than just TV service.

First and foremost, the merger will reshape the broadband landscape in the U.S. Since Comcast and Time Warner Cable don't have overlapping markets, this will dramatically increase Comcast's reach into new cities across the country. With those additional subscribers, Comcast will have new power to negotiate with companies like streaming-video service Netflix (NFLX), which currently accounts for between a third and a

"I didn't know Kevin Love got traded until yesterday," Martin said with a straight face at Monday's annual media day at Target Center that preceded a midnight start to training camp in Mankato. "I'm not big on looking at blogs and all that."

The story seemed too good to be true. Rumors of a Kevin Love trade dominated summer, with a trade reportedly agreed upon in early-August but not consummated until August 23rd because of league rules.

Absence of good

The absence of good () is a theological doctrine that evil, unlike good, is insubstantial, so that thinking of it as an entity is misleading. Instead, evil is rather the absence or lack ("privation") of good. It is typically attributed to St. Augustine of Hippo, who wrote:

See also:  "For evil has no positive nature; but the loss of good has received the name “evil.”" (In: The City of God, XI, chapter 9)

Perceptions are based on contrast, so that light and dark, good and evil, are imperceptible without each other; in this context, these sets of opposites show a certain symmetry, but a basic study of optics teaches us that light has a physical presence of its own, whereas darkness does not: no "anti-lamp" or "flashdark"at the take.

Shortly thereafter, he was apprehended, tried, and convicted by jury. The trial court adjudicated appellant as an habitual offender and sentenced him to forty years for the armed robbery, five years for the aggravated assault, and thirty years for the firearm charge. All sentences were to be served consecutively, and all included a three-year mandatory minimum term. The sentencing guidelines recommendation for the armed robbery count was nine to twelve years.

parole officers Douglas Pummel ("Pummel") and Adam Heath ("Heath"). During the meeting, Ferguson was informed that his urine sample had tested positive for cocaine, which constituted a parole violation and required that Ferguson be placed under *878 arrest and returned to jail. According to Plaintiff, he tried to talk Pummel into not taking him to jail that day so that he could spend time with his family over the holidays and instead turn himself in after Christmas. Pummel allegedly became concerned about Ferguson's refusal to cooperate, so he sent Heath across the hall to request assistance from the Fostoria Police Department with Ferguson's arrest.
