 Barocio contended at the revocation hearing he
maintained employment at Leal Excavation during the entirety of his community
supervision.  He admitted, however, there were times when he did not provide written
verification of employment to his community supervision officer.  Nava testified Barocio had
failed to provide written verification of employment in November 2001, and in January,
February, March, May, and June 2002.  No evidence was offered to the contrary.  We find
the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that Barocio had failed to provide written
verification of employment in violation of his community supervision.
Other Alleged Violations
          Proof by a preponderance of the evidence of any one of the alleged violations of
community supervision is sufficient to sustain a revocation of that supervision.  Moore, 11

Nowadays Madeira is a popular destination for tourists of all ages. Its constant mild climate (temperatures between 20 and 27°C) keeps the spring on Madeira all year round. The levadas, an ingenious system of stone- and concrete-lined watercourses distributing water from the rainy north to the dry south, help flowers and crops flourish all year. That's why this island is called the


''Garden in the Atlantic''. The maintenance pathways for these water canals provide wonderful level trails for hiking in the mountains (up to 1861m) and through the tremendous landscape.

Unfortunately, Madeira was hit by several catastrophes in 2010: in February heavy rainfall inundated parts of the island and caused destructive floods in river valleys on the south coast of the island, chiefly in Funchal, Ribeira Brava and Tabua. Reconstruction work of lost bridges and roads has now been largely completed, but the legacy of major forest fires in August of that year is likely to last longer, and some upper mountain footpaths in the east of the island remain closed or interrupted. Further floods in the 'Nuns' Valley' in October 2010 caused more damage to infrastructure, but this has beenyou that wifi is available. There is also ''free'' access in the airport terminal. In addition, some bars and cafés offer internet access too.

drink. Down the cliff from the road before reaching the trailhead is a secluded beach called Prainha, the island’s only natural black sandy beach. Very popular with the locals, it’s great for swimming.

Drive Madeira has some truly fantastic roads, and renting a car is well worth the (higher-than-EU-average) cost. The fantastic coastal roads and hilly terrain make this island a drivers dream, with brilliant views to boot. Other than a couple of motorways stretches, almost all the roads are fun to drive on - and even the motorways have great views. Be sure to rent a reasonable sized engine though, the cheapest category is probably not going to handle the steep climbs well. Besides the quality of driving, the areas away from the tourist towns are mostly authentic,close Marina of Quinta do Lorde.

The clear waters and marine life of Madeira, known for its numerous nature reserves and marine areas, offer countless fascinating and electrifying dive spots. The marine fauna of this region consists mainly of coastal species. Sandy and rocky bottoms host numerous species of marine creatures: groupers (Epinephelus guaza) and other serranids, salps, sea bream , mullet, scorpion fish (Scorpaena scrofa), moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, barracuda, damsels are just some of the species that divers may commonly spot. Among the invertebrates, besides various species of anemones and starfish, we emphasize the presence of numerous bearded fireworms (Hermodice carunculata), known for their considerable size (up to 30cm) and for their painfully stinging bristles. Common are also several species of crabs; the most curious of them

Two years ago at Christmas, I parlayed a then-recent obsession with the weird, haunted media of 1970s Britain and the field of hauntology into an Amazon Wish List. When my wife and I were in the UK visiting family, I found most of that list waiting for me under the tree. A king’s ransom, for me the Yank, of barely-remembered and never-seen British television series: Sapphire & Steel, The Owl Service, Children of the Stones, The Stone Tape, as well as some books that came highly recommended to those, like me, obsessed with this time, place, and mood in British television and film. One of those books was Mark Fisher’s Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology, and Lost Futures.

Let me


followers, whose encomiums moved me to tears more than once over the weekend of his passing, I came to his work late. To many media theorists and students of music and pop culture in the ’00s, Fisher was the author of the legendary k-punk blog, the archives of which are well worth your time and attention even today. The folks who’d followed his career from these earlier days saw his subsequent success as an editor at Zer0 Books and his two signal works from this period—Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? (2009) and the aforementioned Ghosts of My Life (2013), both published by Zer0—as a crowning achievement of his writing, teaching, and discussion, both within the academy and online. But for me, Ghosts of My Life was thean entire review on such seemingly disparate topics as the 1979 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy BBC series, starring Alec Guinness as George Smiley, the avatar of the postwar British intelligence establishment; the music of Joy Division, with its profound sense of personal and institutional displacement; the Red Riding novels of David Peace, set in 1970s and 1980s Yorkshire, as well as their 2009 film adaptations; and the music of artists in the genre Fisher calls “Hauntology”—found mostly on the music label Ghost Box—which he characterizes as “nostalgia for Modernism.”

Throughout all of these reviews, Fisher presents a sense of the Cold War-era world on a precipice, of a then-widely-believed-eternal struggle between capitalism and communism about to reach its reckoning point, with the forces of the capitalist West—the forces of

a use, and because other uses will come under veterinary surveillance, antibiotic use will certainly decrease. In order to avoid the obstacles that Denmark and the Netherlands suffered after initial bans on antibiotics as growth promotion, the United States must use its planned education programs to educate farmers and veterinarians about improving husbandry practices to maintain efficient production based on the experiences of companies in the United States and abroad.

Next, the importance of appropriate surveillance is integral to success and will serve a variety of functions. A strong surveillance program will (1) more accurately track the use of antibiotics in agriculture and (2) track patterns of antibiotic resistance in agriculture across the United States.

In May '11,Gourmetposted ahad played 83% of team minutes. The player known for being a one-man club was born in Metten, Bavaria and spent his entire professional career at Bayern Munich. He played with the likes of Franz Beckenbauer, and Gerd Müller. Actually, Maier has made many German records:

He won three European Cups in a row

He played 442 consecutive Bundesliga matches

The Bayern Munich captain (1977-1979) was named German Footballer of the Year in 1975, 1977, 1978 and Best Goalkeeper of the World Cup in 1974 when Germany won their second world cup. Maier deserves praise for his mentoring of another German great, Oliver Kahn.

Harald Schumacher, born in 1954 in Düren, West Germany, is known as Toni Schumacher. The goalkeeper has a quite impressive record, playing 97% of team minutes. However, he


is most known for the controversy at 1982 World Cup when he collided with French defender Patrick Battiston who went into a coma following the incident. He managed, nevertheless, to win the UEFA European Championship in 1980, and a Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund in 1996.

Andreas Kopke, born in 1962 in Kiel, West Germany, was not immediately the centre of attention. Although he was outshined by Bodo Illgner during the World Cup 1990 when Germany won their third trophy, he soon proved himself, playing an essential role in the victory of Germany at the European Championship in 1996. He won awards such as the German Footballer of the Year 1993, Best European Goalkeeper in 1996 and was chosen as Germany’s first-choice goalkeeper during the World Cup 1998 afterwhich he retired. However, his success lead him to become the goalkeeping coach of the German National Team, a position he still holds today.

Bodo Illgner, born in 1967 in West Germany, is actually also a Madrista. Becoming the first ever goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in a World Cup final in 1990, he helped Germany win the title. In the 1987-88 season, he became the first choice goalkeeper of FC Köln succeeding Harald Schumacher. In 1991, he received an award for Best European Goalkeeper. After a couple of seasons, in 1996, he made a smart decision moving to giants Real Madrid with whom he won two La Liga titles and the 1998 UEFA Champions League. He was then succeeded by Iker Casillas. In 2013, he was voted


in the Best Foreign Eleven in Real Madrid’s history. Moreover, unsurprisingly, he was named Footballer of the Year in Germany four years in a row (1989-92) and Best European Goalkeeper in 1991. Interestingly, Illgner retired from his international duties very early at only 27 years old which is unlike most players and particularly goalkeepers.

Oliver Kahn, born in 1969 in West Germany, is one of the best if not the best goalkeeper Germany and the world has ever seen. Manuel Neuer can arguably become better as the years pass by. Kahn kept 196 clean sheets in the Bundesliga, a league record, including nineteen in succession in the 2001-02 season. He debuted his career with Bayern Munich late, when he was 25. He won far too many individual and teamtitles to list them all. He was actually nicknamed as Der Titan (the Titan) by the press and Vol-kahn-o (“volcano”) by fans. Here are the most important titles he earned, bearing in mind, he made many more:

Eight Bundesliga, six DFB-Pokal and one UEFA Champions League with FC Bayern

1996 UEFA European Championship with the National Team

Best Bundesliga Keeper for 7 years

Best European Goalkeeper from 1999 to 2002

German Footballer of the Year in 2000 & 2001

Ballon D’Or Third Place in 2001 & 2002

FIFA World Cup Golden Ball 2002

Being the legend he is, around 120,000 people turned up for his last appearance for Bayern in 2008 as and what a legacy he has left. After his retirement, in 2009, he was offered the position of manager of FC Schalke 04, but


he graciously turned it down.

Jens Lehmann, born in 1969 in Essen, West German preceded Manuel Neuer as Germany National Team first-choice goalkeeper. He played with all of Schalke 04, Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and VfB Stuttgart. The goalkeeper proved himself around Europe, winning titles in three of Europe’s major leagues: Bundesliga, Serie A, and the Premier League. He also wrote history along with Arsenal; he was a member of Arsenal’s “Invincibles” during their unbeaten title-winning season and, in 2006, broke the record for most consecutive Champions League clean sheets (ten) with the Gunners.

The highlight of Lehmann’s international career was in the Quarter-Final match of the World Cup in 2006 when he saved two penalty shots against Argentina leading Germany into the Semi-Finals. He was made a hero andhighly praised by long-time rival Oliver Kahn. Surprisingly, Lehmann has also had an acting career and played a football coach in the movie “Themba”. The stellar goalkeeper was named UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year in 1997 then in 2006 and in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team in 2006.

Manuel Neuer, born in 1986 in Gelsenkirchen, West Germany is the current first-choice goalkeeper for Die Mannschaft and FC Bayern. Playing an impressive 97% of team minutes, he has managed to break Bayern Munich’s and Oliver Kahn’s record for most competitive clean sheets in a row, having gone over 1000 minutes without conceding. He is known for being a sweeper keeper, a nickname he gained because of his unique style of playing, getting out of his box regularly and saving


impossible shots and many goalkeepers today are following his methods. Neuer had a stellar 2014, winning the FIFA World Cup and Golden Glove award, and being named on the Ballon D’Or three-man shortlist alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Neuer started with Schalke 04 but later in 2011, his permanent home became the Bavarian grounds and he settled in quickly with Bayern Munich. Neuer helped Bayern through UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals in 2012 against Real Madrid when he saved two penalty kicks from both Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká. In the 2014 World Cup, he managed to keep a clean sheet against the United States, Portugal, and France. His achievements do not stop here of course but here is a short list of his individual trophies:

Footballer of the Yearin Germany: 2011, 2014

FIFA/FIFPro World XI: 2013, 2014

UEFA Team of the Year: 2013, 2014

FIFA World Cup All-Star Team: 2014

FIFA World Cup Dream Team: 2014

L’Équipe’s Player of the Year: 2014

And there are more German goalkeepers to look forward to in the future. For example, Marc-André ter Stegen is an up-and-coming goalkeeper. He is a German professional footballer who plays for Spanish club FC Barcelona. Let’s see what he will achieve and I will leave it up to you to decide who was the best and who is the best right now.


leap came in the late 1990s when British Airways rolled out the first fully flat beds in the sky. Over time every commercial airline caught up offering flat beds in first and then business class. Last year another huge leap took place. The Residence by Etihad offers a private three room VIP suite in the sky, bringing the commercial experience something close to private aviation.

The challenge for the private jet industry is to react. To date private jet innovation has been more about dressing the traditional cabin elements created by engineers rather than creating relevant and suitable spaces. This is about to change.

Traditional stereotypes about luxury and opulence are being eroded: the days of large leather chairs, walnut and cedar tables and gold trim are arguably old-hat.

For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus

Senators also rejected a proposal to send the bill to committee with instructions to remove language related to Medicaid on a 48-52 vote, with Heller and all other Republicans voting against it.

President Donald Trump later tried to reel Heller in on health care. A pro-Trump PAC announced a seven-figure ad buy against him following his press conference pronouncement against Obamacare repeal, and the president lobbed a veiled threat at Heller while sitting next to him at a televised luncheon last week.

a source of food but for other reasons as well. They are beautiful structures—but we can discuss their aesthetic qualities another time. They are a marvel of engineering, and virtually immortal. Whoever said that death is an integral part of life wasn't thinking of trees—every spring they're young again. I need to give them some serious thought. Wouldn't they actually be the best model? Think about it. While I'm writing, right in front of me is an oak, thirty tons of good dense wood. Well, it's been standing tall and growing for three hundred years, never has to hide or flee, no one devours it, and it has never devoured anyone else. That's not all. I recently realized that the trees breathe for us, and that you cangrinder. We then heated to 250°C a mixture of that bisulfate and tartaric acid, by means of which the latter dehydrates to pyruvic acid and is distilled. We first attempted this operation using glass receptacles, breaking a prohibitive quantity; then we bought from the ironmonger ten metal canisters, of ARAR11 provenance, of the type used for gas before the advent of polyethylene, which proved suitable for our purpose. Since the client was satisfied with the quality and promised new orders, we took the leap and had the neighborhood blacksmith construct for us a crude cylindrical reactor of black steel, equipped with a hand agitator. We embedded it in a well of solid brick, which had on the bottom and the sides four 1000-watt resistors connected illegally outside of

But voices were raised in response to the eternal questions of the ancient Job, the cautious and respectful voices of the "miserable comforters," the sovereign voice of the Lord; no one responds to the questions of the modern Job, no voice comes out of the whirlwind.

Scattered and defenseless after the Diaspora, the Jews were ideal victims and were treated as such in many countries and throughout the centuries.

There were several large sections of iron pipe scattered around, five or six meters long and a meter in diameter. I climbed inside one of these, and halfway along the pipe I ran into Tischler, who had had the same idea and had entered from the other end.

_Tischler_ means "carpenter," and among us Tischler was not known by any other name.

with his mustache disheveled. Sante, calmly and without turning, said that he had taken two prisoners and there was nothing to fear, because he had disarmed them. He told Ettore to carry the knapsacks a little farther away and have a look inside; and to the Germans, who on seeing his father had got up and were standing at attention, but still with their hands raised, he said this was all, they had only to try not to do anything foolish, but if they wanted to finish the bread and cheese they should go ahead, and at this point they could lower their hands.

They hid behind a clump of bushes and saw her: she was lazily driving a small flock of nanny goats before her, she was barefoot and skinny, bundled in a field tunic that hung down to her knees. She had a handkerchief knotted beneath her chin and an emaciated, kind little face, browned by the sun. There was a note of sadness in her singing, in the nasal and contrived style of peasant song, and she was walking aimlessly toward them, following her goats rather than guiding them.

The two soldiers exchanged a glance: there was no way around it, if they left their hiding place the girl would see them; and she'd see them anyway, because she was heading straight toward them. Mendel got to his feet andin peace. Dov asked him what treatment he could be given, and he replied that there was no treatment; he asked for a little water, then he stopped talking. They stretched him out on the ground, outside the building, and covered him with a blanket. The next morning he was dead. They buried him, taking care to avoid all contact; Ber, the young man with glasses, who had been a student in a rabbinical academy, came to say Kaddish over his grave. What could be done to prevent the disease from spreading? Or perhaps typhus was only transmitted by lice? No one knew; to avoid all risk, Dov had all the objects that had come into contact with the sick man burned, including the precious blanket.

Pavel was reading, in Russian, with a deliberately exaggerated German accent that made everyone laugh. Then suddenly from the dark sky they heard the same musical hum as the night before, coming in waves.

"Hurry!" shouted Ulybin. "Second team, put on your skis and get moving, light those fires: these idiots are going to give us a second drop!" The six team members rushed out, and Ulybin looked at his watch: if they were fast enough, they could be on the site in fifteen minutes, before the airplanes got tired of looking for the drop field in the dark.

When they stopped singing, they all fell asleep wrapped in their blankets; only the sentinels remained awake, perched high in the tree branches at the four corners of the encampment. In the


Warsaw revolt failed, they were happy that the Germans exterminated the insurgents: while we were dying, they were waiting on the far bank of the river.

Dov broke in: "Lieutenant, I'm Russian. Jewish, but still Russian, and many of us were born in Russia, and that tall young man you see down there is a Russian Christian who is traveling with us. This man"—and he pointed to Mendel—"and many others who are dead now were soldiers in the Red Army: I was one myself. Before we set out on our journey, we fought as Russians rather than as Jews: as Russians and for the Russians. It is the Russians who are liberating Europe. They are paying with their blood, they are dying by the millions, and the things thatthat he and his men had been asked to fight the Germans in a pitched battle, not against an isolated garrison, as in April at Lyuban, but against German infantry and artillery, therefore experienced and well organized, and yet even at Lyuban dozens of Jews had been killed. On the other hand, this time they weren't alone: Edek's Poles were resolute, experienced, well armed, and driven by a hatred of the Germans that was greater even than that of the Jews.

Gedale selected twenty of his men, and the composite platoon set out. The fields were drenched with rain, Edek was in a hurry, and he chose the most direct route, in violation of all partisan rules: they marched along the railroad, three abreast, on the wooden ties, from

Marian, sanguine and bullish, once a marshal in the Polish Army, held a public demonstration: he lit a small wood fire inside one of the huts, on a piece of sheet metal, and showed that if you hang your clothes a certain distance from the flames, the lice explode without weakening the fabric. But it was a vicious circle: lice are born of demoralization, and create further demoralization.

Line broke up with Mendel. It was sad, like all breakups, but no one was surprised: it had been in the air for a while, ever since the attack on the concentration camp in Chmielnik. Mendel suffered, but it was a dull, gray kind of suffering, without the arrow of despair. Line had never belonged to him,travel."

The truck moved along toward the ditch, tipped forward, and then reared up majestically skyward. "We're out," said Pavel, inhaling the rainy air: he realized that he hadn't taken a breath for perhaps a minute. A voice shouted behind them: " _Stój!_ Halt!" Pavel leaned out the side window and fired a burst of bullets into the air, more in celebration than to intimidate. When they reached the road, Mendel screwed up his courage and shifted into the second low gear: the engine's roar dropped slightly in pitch, and the truck's speed increased marginally. No one was following them, and they reached the schoolhouse in a few minutes.

Gedale, armed like them, was waiting in the street. He threw his arms around Mendel, laughing and reciting the blessing of

With each step, the impact against the ground became lighter, until the earth fell away. She felt a great sense of peace, and heard the wind whistling in her ears. She stretched her legs back: she was sorry she had not worn her jeans; her skirt, billowing in the wind, got in the way.

Her arms and hands were also in the way; she tried crossing them over her chest, then stretched them out along her sides. Who said flying was difficult?

At each move, a score appears on the screen, describing the situation on the basis of complicated parameters. If it's positive, it indicates that things are going badly for you: if it exceeds 500, you would do better to bow out; if it exceeds 1000, catastrophe is looming.

Correspondingly, a negative score indicates that you are winning, owing to material advantage or to position. Of course, if this mute commentator annoys or bothers you, you can get rid of it. You can even ask the machine to play against itself, and there is something hallucinatory about the spectacle, since the game that is played out in silence, before your eyes,that these were frequent in Italy, even after the German occupation, and that in Hitler's Germany they were put into action all too rarely.

The other letters are very different and depict a better world. I have to point out, however, that not even the best intentions to absolve would allow me to consider them a "representative sample" of the German people of that time. In the first place, my book was published in twenty or thirty thousand copies, and was therefore read by perhaps one in a thousand citizens of the Federal Republic. Some probably bought it by chance, others because they were to some extent predisposed—sensitized, permeable—to the impact with events. Of these readers, only about forty, as I mentioned, decided to write to me.

scattered throughout the Talmud.

The volume _Lilith and Other Stories_ includes thirty-six short stories, most of them first published in newspapers or magazines. The first twelve, which have earned more attention from the critics, contain (in my own words, taken from one of the stories) "what was left out of my first two books." After approximately thirty years, I felt that the patrimony of memories from the Lager had not yet been entirely expended and that it was worth going back to it. Obviously, the perspective had changed. I no longer felt the urge to bear witness and liberate my inner self; I thought I had said everything about the sociology of the Lager, its essential horror, its nature as a distorted reflection of today's world, its laws. Inrepeatedly bombarded the adjacent industrial district. And it's also true that there were probably sordid reasons for the Allies' failure to come to the rescue: the fear of having to shelter or support millions of refugees or survivors. But one can't call this real complicity, and the moral and legal difference between those who take action and those who do nothing to oppose it remains immeasurable.

If today's Germany cares about the place that it is entitled to among European nations, it cannot and should not whitewash its past.

Preface: "It was my good _fortune_." The decisive role of chance in the events of the Lager, as Robert Gordon notes, and the intervention of a relative "good fortune" for the individual Levi inform us that the story told is always true but never simple. The second noun belongs to the same family as fortune: "relief." Levi uses it twice at the start of the work. In the chapter "The Journey" we read a sentence that gives us chills: "We had learned of our destination with relief. Auschwitz: a name without significance for us at that time, but at least it implied some place on this earth." If that is the announcement of the journey, the definitive arrival at Auschwitz is marked by the transfer of those chosenincluding those meant for general readers. The eight questions and answers that Levi prepared are meant to offer a general historical-
political framework, but they also express his moral life after the book's publication: the opening two questions concerned the possibility of forgiveness for the executioners (which Levi had no intention of granting), and the German people's knowledge of their own history. A large part of the Appendix, however, was devoted to those who in _The Drowned and the Saved_ are defined as "stereotypes," and whom Levi tried here, for the first time, to describe and to analyze with the power of common sense and the precision of historical information.

In the intricate history of _The Drowned and the Saved_ , we can observe certain fundamental ideas, starting

He rolled out of bed to grab his laptop to begin troubleshooting. The servers were supposed to connect to time sync with their domain controller, which would NTP with an external stratum 1 time server. He figured one or more of the servers were having network connectivity issues when the time change occurred and were now confused as to who had the right time.

Iain sent an NTP packet to each of the troubled servers expecting to see the domain controller as the reference server. Instead, he saw the IP addresses of TroublesomeServer1 and TroublesomeServer2. Thinking he did something wrong in an early morning fog, he ran it again only to get the same result. It seemed that the two


servers were pointed to each other for NTP.

While that was a ridiculous setup, it wouldn't explain why they were off by an entire hour and kept switching their times. Iain noticed that the old-fashioned clock on his desk showed the time was a bit after 2 AM, while the time on his laptop was a bit after 3 AM. It dawned on him that the time issues had to be related to the Daylight Saving Time change. The settings for that were kept in the load balancer, which he had read-only access to.

In the load balancer console, he found that TroublesomeServer1 was correctly set to update its time for Daylight Saving, while TroublesomeServer2 was not. Since they were incorrectly set to each other for NTP, when TroublesomeServer1 jumpedahead an hour, TroublesomeServer2 would follow. But then TroublesomeServer2 would realize it wasn't supposed to adjust for DST, so it would jump back an hour, bringing TroublesomeServer1 with it. This kept repeating itself, which explained the volume of alerts Iain got.

Since he was powerless to correct the setting on the load balancer, he made a call to his manager, who escalated to another manager and so on until they tracked down who had access to make the setting change. Three hours later, the servers were on the correct time. But the mess of correcting all the overnight transactions that happened during this window were just beginning. The theoretical extra hour of daylight provided was negated by everyone spending hours in a windowless conference room adjusting financial data by

The NBER Summer Institute Workshop on Aging and Health is a five-day workshop held in late July each year which brings together between 100 and 150 scholars who have a common interest in economic analyses of aging and health care issues. The workshop has been held annually since 1986, with partial support from the National Institute on Aging since 1993. It is widely recognized as an important annual gathering for scholars engaged in aging-related research. Much of the cost of the Summer Institute is funded using other NBER resources. NIA funds are requested for an additional 30 non-local participants each summer, enabling us to include scholars engaged in aging-related research from a large number of research universities throughout the US (including most of the NIA-supported Centers on theDemography of Aging), researchers working on aging and health issues in more than a dozen countries, scholars from research backgrounds other than economics (such as sociology, demography, epidemiology, and clinical medicine), researchers at government agencies or non-university organizations, and newer investigators developing or expanding their research agenda in aging. The broad participation made possible with NIA support plays an important role in enriching the overall program. This application for NIA funding would enable the program to continue to support the participation of a broad group of scholars engaged in research in aging at Summer Institutes from 2004-2008.


Luggage Free, a leading luggage shipping company, is seeing steady demand for its services from families who are saddled with heavy baggage while traveling.

Past News Releases

Air travel during this year's summer season has been brisk, particularly among families. AAA estimates that 4.7 million Americans traveled by airplane during the week of Fourth of July alone. As a result, a luggage shipping company headquartered in New York City has seen steady interest from families who are choosing to ship items and luggage ahead before they travel.

Luggage Free specializes in door-to-door shipping of luggage, equipment, bags and anything else travelers opt not to carry on trips. With the ability to send bags, cribs, formula and car seats ahead to any destination in the world, parents are taking advantage of theservice in increasing numbers.

"Families are seeing great value in what we offer," said Jeff Boyd, president of Luggage Free.

"They can ship excess items ahead of time and free up their hands, which allows them to better tend to their children during travel," he added.

Founded in 2002, Luggage Free has experienced consistent growth year-after-year due to increased baggage restrictions imposed by airlines and government agencies.

The popularity of the service has not been limited to families, however. Celebrities, athletes, international tourists and leisure travelers all have contributed to the company's growth, though Boyd emphasized the strength within the family travel market.

"Educating families about our service is critical. Out of pure necessity, families with small children often pack more than the average traveler and we are an obvious solution," he said.

Where is Permafrost Found?

Location of permafrost around the Northern Hemisphere. Click on the image for a larger view.

Permafrost is found primarily in the Northern Hemisphere: Scandinavia, Siberia, Tibet, Alaska, and the Canadian Arctic. High elevations in the Southern Hemisphere, such as in Patagonia in Chile and the Southern Alps in New Zealand, have permafrost as well. There is not much permafrost in Antarctica because there is so little exposed landmost of the land in Antarctica is covered by the massive Antarctic ice sheet. However, it is certainly cold enough for permafrost to form in Antarctica.

Why is Permafrost Important to Study?

Permafrost is the Earth's largest "carbon sink". NSIDC's permafrost expert, scientist Tingjun Zhang, says that all the permafrost in the world stores more that twice the carbon that is present in the atmosphere (quoted from an interview posted on the NSIDC Web site). Under temperate conditions, dead animal and plant matter decays, releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. Frozen plant and animal matter does not decay, however (think about the frozen remains of human ancestors that have been discovered in recent years, like the Neolithic Ice Man Otzi, discovered in Germany in 1991). Some areas of permafrost have been frozen for thousands of years, preserving the plant and animal material trapped


Days before she is set to go on trial on corruption charges, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner announced on Saturday that she intends to return to the presidential palace this year, this time as vice president running alongside Alberto Fernández, a former ally with whom she has had an uneasy relationship.

The announcement by Mrs. Kirchner, who governed Argentina from 2007 to 2015 and is currently a senator, stunned Argentine political observers who had widely expected the leftist leader to mount a bid for a third presidential term.

Mr. Fernández served as cabinet chief to Mrs. Kirchner’s husband, Néstor, who took office after a record-breaking default in 2001 left the economy in collapse and who governed during a period of relative prosperity fueled by a commodities boom.

The shaman and the medicine-man.
The present article discusses the terms medicine-man and shaman as used by scholars and scientists, and tries to arrive at a possible distinction between them. It is obvious that the two terms not only overlap but also cause confusion, even among shamanologists. They have consequently been used interchangeably by many scholars. By recourse to the North American ethnographic material in particular (which once was the source of this confusion) the author reaches the conclusion that the only way of separating the terms from each other is to approach the whole problem structurally as a two-levelled issue. It is then possible to differentiate between the shaman as primarily the mediator between the supernatural powers and man, and the medicine-man as primarily the curer of diseasesHow do you know when to sever a long marriage that has been withering for months, or even decades?

In time it had also gotten some of Superman's own personality, including the desire to help humans and be a hero.

Editor's Review

A small indoor museum and a large outdoor one provide a heady onslaught of Dayton's history, from the National Cash Register company to the Wright Brothers' first practical plane.

Wear comfortable shoes to the 65-acre Carillon Historical Park; you're going to be doing a lot of walking. Don't be fooled by the stately brick building at the entrance, which looks like just another visitors center. Beyond is a wealth of history at this site near the University of Dayton. A nominal entrance fee admits visitors into a sort of Disney World for history buffs. First, there's the indoor portion, the Heritage Center of Dayton Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship. Antique cash registers (a tribute to Dayton's own NCR company) fill one room, memorabilia on the Wright brothers another,


and items about the magazine McCall's, which began life as an Ohio publication, another. Outside the back door lies the heart of the park: a re-created town featuring everything from a vintage Sunoco station to Dayton's oldest building, Newcom Tavern, built in 1796 and transported here when the park first opened in 1950. Some buildings feature turn-of-the-century trains and other vehicles. The biggest thrill, though, is the original Wright Flyer III, built in 1905. It's given a place of honor in the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center, in a quiet, darkened room where the only sound is the snapping of tourists' cameras.Egypt and Jordan Tours

Helen Clark: Nelson Mandela International Day

Jul 18, 2012

Helen ClarkRemarks to the General Assembly Informal Meeting onNelson Mandela International DayUnited Nations, New York
Wednesday 18 July 2012, 10am

CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY

I thank the President of the General Assembly, Mr. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, for inviting me to address this important gathering on the occasion of Nelson Mandela International Day. I am honoured to speak alongside eminent persons who contributed in various ways to the struggle against South African apartheid and against the vicious assault on human dignity and rights which it represented.

Nelson Mandela International Day is an occasion for us all to celebrate the vision of this extraordinary man for freedom, peace, & justice; his service to humanity; and the hope for a better tomorrow which he represents to this day.

Many inwhich I am prepared to die.”

The Court sentenced Mr. Mandela to life imprisonment, and he served 27 years of that sentence - eighteen of them in the especially harsh conditions of Robben Island. A visit there to this day sends many chills down one’s spine.

In faraway New Zealand, the struggle for freedom in South Africa divided our small nation for many years. The major link between the two countries was rugby football, with the two national teams usually considered the best in the world.

But South Africa’s team had a fundamental flaw – it was racially selected. In New Zealand, Maori players had long been prominent at all levels of the game. Yet up to and including the All Black tour of South Africa in 1960, Maori players were


left at home when the All Blacks played there.

A citizens’ movement to oppose that injustice and eventually to campaign comprehensively against apartheid was formed. I myself was actively engaged in the Halt All Racist Tours movement as a student in 1970. Involvement in this cause was one of the major motivations for my entry into politics and public life.

In 1981 when South Africa’s national rugby team, the Springboks, toured New Zealand, the country erupted in protest. In the city of Hamilton, protestors occupied the field prior to the second game of the tour, forcing its cancellation. Legend has it that when the news of this dramatic event got through to the prisoners on Robben Island, cheers could be heard in the cell block. Nelson Mandela himself has beenquoted as saying that it was as if the sun had come out.

The New Zealand campaign against apartheid was part of the broad international solidarity movement which formed in support of the huge struggle taking place within South Africa itself. In the process, we in New Zealand also learned a lot about ourselves – a clear example of how the battle against injustice in one country can spur progress in another. The 1980s saw the search for truth and reconciliation in New Zealand itself gain momentum, leading to major settlements between the state and indigenous people which continue to this day, in acknowledgment of the historical injustices perpetrated from colonial times.

Just as South Africa is still on a journey, so is New Zealand. Without doubt, the campaign against


apartheid sport played a crucial part in the emergence of our nation as more inclusive and independent as we freed ourselves from the legacy of the past.

Many in New Zealand argued up until and beyond the highly controversial 1981 Springbok rugby tour that sport and politics should not be mixed. Those of us opposed argued that the two were already mixed, and that a failure to make a stand against apartheid sport brought shame on our country Deep issues of human dignity, justice, and equality were at stake.

As these arguments went on over the decades, among the innumerable outrages in South Africa Nelson Mandela and many other political prisoners were kept in harsh conditions, people protesting against the pass laws were massacred at Sharpeville, many school children losttheir lives and others were injured in the Soweto uprising, Steve Biko died in police custody after being brutally beaten, and countless millions of South Africans endured a daily life of oppression and hardship.

Opposing the regime was demonstrably very dangerous, with targeted assassinations and bombings also carried out against opponents inside and outside the country. The impact of that extended to two New Zealand clergymen, active in the struggle and forced into exile, who lost limbs to parcel bombs – John Osmers in Lesotho in 1979 and Michael Lapsley in Harare in 1990. I salute their courage and fortitude today too.

In so many ways, the inspiration and spirit of solidarity generated by Nelson Mandela and the movement he led has never been limited by national boundaries. That meant


that the day Mr. Mandela was freed from gaol was of huge significance to the lives of all in South Africa and around the world who had supported the long walk to freedom. To see Mr. Mandela emerge from those years of incarceration without bitterness and to lead his country to reconciliation was truly inspirational. Mr. Mandela said during his visit to New Zealand in 1995 that in his long life he had learned to forgive, but never to forget. There is much wisdom in those words.

Indeed it is such attributes of leadership, vision, wisdom and inspiration which led the United Nations General Assembly three years ago to establish this International Day in Mr. Mandela’s honour, and it is wonderful to see it celebrated by growing numbers ofpeople. Nelson Mandela’s words and deeds to this day constitute a global call to action to us all to join together to advance human dignity and fight injustice. That too will be the enduring legacy of this great man who has dedicated his life to the cause of a better life for others.

The woman who first performed the procedure was neither a surgeon nor radiologist, but an electrotherapeutist who began her career as an alienist. She pursued a prolific academic career despite being disabled by a disease that is no longer recognized. The fascinating life of Margaret Cleaves, the initiator of gynecologic brachytherapy, is recounted.Coach Quick brings 'Hell Week' to Lufkin summer program

There are just seven Weeks until the Pack meets up with their rivals Longview to kick off the 2017 football season. The team has been hard at work in their off season program and this week they have taken it to another level.

Head Coach Todd Quick has enlisted the help of the U.S. Army Recruiting Center in Lufkin to bring intense training to about 90 students from the middle school and high school.

"This is what we call 'Hell Week'," Quick said. "It is three days outside where we get the boys into three teams and run them through team building exercises."

This is the first year for an event like this.

The Tao of Liberation

Exploring the Ecology of Transformation

Written by Mark Hathaway and Leonardo Boff

Today, humanity stands at an historic crossroads. Deepening poverty and accelerating ecological destruction challenge us to act with wisdom and maturity: How can we move toward a future where meaning, hope, and beauty can truly flourish?

Drawing on insights from economics, psychology, science, and spirituality, The Tao of Liberation seeks wisdom leading to authentic liberation a path toward ever-greater communion, diversity, and creativity for the Earth community. It describes this wisdom using the Chinese word Tao both a way leading to harmony and the unfolding process of the cosmos itself. (via)Times of Israel reports.

Such talk has been fueled by the recent death of 40-year-old Palestinian Ayman Samarah during his stay in an Israeli jail, The International News reports.

The Palestinian Authority has launched an investigation, the Jerusalem Post reports, claiming the man died at the hands of Israeli torture.

Israel, which performed an autopsy, denies that accusation and says the Palestinian died of heart failure due to unspecified causes, various media reported.

Classroom Collaborators

Wireless connectivity is providing a level of flexibility for students and teachers, changingthe learning environment in ways that in some cases has to be seen to be believed.

FOCUSED: Experts say that wireless technology's way of engaging students in the learning process supersedes its bottom-line benefits.

JOHN CHAMBERS, CEO of San Jose, CA-based computer networking giant Cisco Systems, paced the main stage in San Francisco's Moscone Conference Center, admonishing the members of his audience like a Southern preacher, warning them to prepare themselvesfor a revolution.

"Do you ever watch your children doing their homework?" he asked. "They're listening to music, instant messaging, and chatting on the phone at the same time. These aren't distractions you're seeing, but new forms of collaboration. You may not like it. You may


looking to promote collaboration and more easily accessible information, wireless is a natural fit."

Easy access to information and more flexible forms of collaboration were at the top of the wishlist at Kent School District, outside Seattle, when it first began pursuing a wireless strategy back in 1999. That was the year Apple Computer offered its first AirPort wireless local area network (WLAN) system. By 2001, Kent had provided one AirPort-based wireless laptop cart for each of its schools, and it has been expanding its wireless capabilities ever since. Last year the district launched a pilot program that equipped Mill Creek Middle School with complete wireless capabilities. The pilot is now a full-fledged program, and the district is planning to wirelessly enable all of its 40 schools while providingsince wireless technology emerged. Colleges and universities were among the earliest adopters, Gibson says, but K-12 school districts were a close second. Now some districts seem to be blazing a veritable wireless trail for the communities at large.

One of the largest WLANs in the world was implemented by Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools. Fairfax County is the biggest school district in the state and the 12th largest in the country. Several years ago, the district set out to"break down classroom walls" by providing wireless broadbandaccess to every classroom, says Fairfax County AssistantSuperintendent and CEO Maribeth Luftglass."Our community is very high-tech," she says. "There's anexpectation here that everything will be online. And wirelessconnectivity goes along with that."

Today, Fairfax operates a network of 7,500 Cisco Aironet 1100 Series access points

Until now, getting into the news and reports about Russia and Trump meant getting into some rather dense weeds (PDF of declassified report here), but with the recent release by Buzzfeed of the full 35-page dossier on Trump and Russia (the explosive one, with the women peeing on Obama’s former hotel room bed), which was distilled into a two-page appendix in the classified version of the report, the road to clarity just presented itself.

He tried to get the political outcome of a recommendation to indict without recommending to indict, and in the office politics sense, he tried to please both his bosses and his employees to preserve his standing and his job.

Unfortunately, his bosses and his employees wanted opposite things. Many of the FBI agents involved in the server investigation clearly wanted an indictment, and when one wasn’t forthcoming, started leaking what they knew — or what they wanted people to think they knew — to the press. This represented political interference as well, not only by agents of the FBI, but also by investigators in the NY Police Dept, which

Carapace asymmetry: A possible biomarker for metal accumulation in adult olive Ridleys marine turtles?
The Olive Ridley marine turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is characterized by individual morphological variability in the number and shape of scutes. The influence of pollutants on developmental instability and one of its consequences, the asymmetry of individuals, has been demonstrated in several species, especially invertebrates and some birds. However, the use of this asymmetry as a biomarker of contamination in adult individuals has never been explored. We developed an index to quantify developmental instability (DIx) based on the number and relative size of costal carapace scutes. The link between DIx and inorganic elements concentrations was explored in various tissues of stranded turtles from the Southern Mexican Pacific. The relationships between adult contamination and DIx could directlyFresh Conversations, a SNAP-Ed Program for Older Adults: Feedback From Program Facilitators.
As part of a statewide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education program evaluation, Fresh Conversations (FC) facilitators (ie, educators) provided input into a new delivery model. The researchers interviewed 25 FC facilitators. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for common themes. Most facilitators were women with at least 1 year of FC experience. Key motivators for serving as an FC facilitator included alignment with current employment responsibilities and gerontology interest. Training was viewed as helpful, thorough, and self-explanatory. Implementation challenges included recruitment, public speaking, and time management.

Sony has appointed Kazuo Hirai, currently executive deputy president, to replace Stringe

Sony has faced an uphill battle in recent years as its stock value fell 54% in 2011

Sir Howard Stringer will step down as Sony CEO and president on April 1, the Japanese electronics giant announced Wednesday.

In a widely expected move, Sony has appointed Kazuo Hirai, currently executive deputy president, to replace Stringer as president and CEO, a company statement said. Stringer is expected to become chairman of the company's board of directors in June, when current chairman Yotaro Kobayashi retires.

Stringer, the Welsh-born former journalist and past president of CBS Television Network in the U.S., was named Sony CEO in 2005, becoming one


of only a handful of foreign chief executives of a listed Japanese multinational company.

In a statement, Stringer said the decision was the result of succession plans that began three years ago. Stringer said Hirai has "distinguished himself through his work in the PlayStation and networked entertainment businesses.

"Kaz is a globally focused executive for whom technology and the cloud are familiar territory, content is highly valued, and digital transformation is second nature," Stringer said. "I believe his tough-mindedness and leadership skills will be of great benefit to the company and its customers in the months and years ahead."

Its stock value fell 54% in 2011,hurt by a strong yen that dropped profits brought back home, as well as the twin crises of the March 2011 earthquake and the November floods in Thailand, which hit the company's supply chain. The hacking of Sony's PlayStation network last year, compromising privacy data of millions of subscribers, added to the company's woes.

"As challenging as times are for Sony now, were it not for the strong leadership of Sir Howard Stringer these past seven years, we would have been in a much more difficult position," Hirai said in a statement. "The path we must take is clear: to drive the growth of our core electronics businesses - primarily digital imaging, smart mobile and game; to turn around the television business; and to accelerate the innovation that enables

The Southport Sharks have overrun the Gold Coast SUNS reserves in the opening NEAFL practice match at Metricon Stadium on Saturday, winning by 17 points.

The NEAFL SUNS took just 22 players into the game against Southport’s 25, with the temperature reaching 30 degrees by late Saturday morning.

Gold Coast’s fatigue showed in the second half, with the Sharks taking home a 11.13 (79) to 9.8 (62) victory.

Newcomer Dan Currie was dominant in the ruck, often giving the SUNS midfielders first use of the ball at the centre bounce. But it was his one-percenters that made the former Kangaroo stand out.

Currie frequently drifted back to fill the hole, cutting off opposition attacking forays before Southport could take advantage.

At the same time, the Court affirmed the Fourth Circuit's holding that North Carolina law gave the general contractor no property interest in the amount due under the general construction contract, except to the extent that such amount exceeded the aggregate of all amounts due to subcontractors.  Therefore, the Government could recover only so much of the construction price as would remain unpaid after deduction of a sum sufficient to pay the subcontractors, United States v.

The court rejected the contention, stating that the Government was merely relying on the weakness of the competing title rather than on the strength of its own claim.

A New Jersey high school student received an invitation to the White House from President Trump after he said last month that he was rejected by the National Honor Society (NHS) because of his political views.

Boris Kizenko, a junior at Holmdel High School, said last month in an interview that his school's administration and the "council" responsible for determining admittance into the NHS claimed he had a "character flaw."

Kizenko added that he met all of the NHS's grade and community service requirements, but people took exception when he posted a quote from the president on his class' Instagram page.

Hesaid after that, he was deemed to have a "character" issue and accused of not "representing the ideals of the class." The school district's superintendent denied Zizenko's claims, saying "political affiliation is not a consideration for National Honor Society acceptance."

Zizenko traveled to the White House Thursday to be in attendance when Trump signed an executive order promoting free speech on college campuses.

He said he felt it was important to be there after what he has experienced at his school.

"This happens all the time in schools," said Zizenko, noting that he heard similar stories from other conservative and Trump-supporting students around the country after he spoke out.

On top of that, he said the school denied his request for an excused absence for his trip to the White House.
