an important nutritional source for groundwater bacteria. In addition, it suggests that adaptation to naturally occurring recalcitrant substrates is the origin of degradative pathways for xenobiotic compounds with analogous structure. This work has important implications for in situ bioremediation as a method of environmental cleanup.

This report summarizes the accomplishments toward project goals during the no cost extension period of the third year of the project to assess the properties and performance of coal based products. These products are in the gasoline, diesel and fuel oil range and result from coal based jet fuel production from an Air Force funded program. Specific areas of progress include generation of coal based material that has been fractionated into the desired refinery cuts for a third round of testing, the use ofof the University during an extended period affected the progress of the program during the quarter. However, the program is essentially on schedule, both technically and fiscally, and any delays will be overcome during the first quarter of 1996.

Ohio River in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. An option to purchase the site has been secured on behalf of the Breckinridge Project by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Energy. Figure 1 is an area map locating the site with respect to area cities and towns. The nearest communities to the site are the hamlet of Stephensport, Kentucky, about 3-1/2 miles northeast and Cloverport, Kentucky, which is 6 miles to the southwest. The nearest major cities are Owensboro, Kentucky, 45 road miles to the west and Louisville, Kentucky, 65 miles to the northeast. The Breckinridge facility will convert about 23,000 TPD of run-of-mine (ROM) coal into a nominal 50,000 BPD of hydrocarbon liquids including a significant quantity of transportation fuels. Major products refined for marketing include pipeline gas, propane,butane, 105 RONC gasoline reformate, middle distillate and heavy distillate. By-products include sulfur, anhydrous ammonia, and commercial-grade phenol. Care is being taken to minimize the impact of the facility operations on the environment. Water and wastewater treatment systems have been designed to achieve zero discharge. Waste solids will be disposed of in a carefully designed and well-monitored landfill operation. Also, special design features have been included to minimize air emissions.

On September 30, 1993, the US Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology Center and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC) entered into a cooperative agreement entitled ``Management of Dry Flue Gas Desulfurization By-Products in Underground Mines`` (DE-FC21-93MC30252). Under the agreement, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will develop and demonstrate several technologies for the placement of coal combustion residues in


abandoned coal mines, and will assess the environmental impact of such underground residues placement. The major event during the quarter was the demonstration of the SEEC, Inc. technology for loading and transporting coal combustion residues in the SEEC developed Collapsible Intermodal Containers (CIC). The demonstration was held on November 17, 1994, at the Illinois Power Company Baldwin power plant, and was attended by about eighty (80) invited guest. Also during the quarter meetings were held with Peabody Coal Company officials to finalize the area in the Peabody No. 10 mine to be used for the placement of coal combustion residues. Work under the Materials Handling and Systems Economics area continued, particularly in refining the costs and systems configuration and in economic evaluation of various systems using equipment leasingrather than equipment purchases. Likewise, work progressed on residues characterization, with some preparations being made for long-term testing.

The Republic of Kazakhstan generates significant quantities of excess elemental sulfur from the production and refining of petroleum reserves. In addition, the country also produces hazardous, and radioactive wastes which require treatment/stabilization. In an effort to find secondary uses for the elemental sulfur, and simultaneously produce a material which could be used to encapsulate, and reduce the dispersion of harmful contaminants into the environment, BNL evaluated the use of the sulfur polymer cement (SPC) produced from by-product sulfur in Kazakhstan. This thermoplastic binder material forms a durable waste form with low leaching properties and is compatible with a wide range of waste types. Several hundred kilograms of Kazakhstan sulfur were shipped


criteria, problems were experienced in the delivery of fly ash to the pneumatic demonstration site. The source of the fly ash, the Archer Daniels Midland Company power plant at Decatur, Illinois is some distance from the demonstration site, and often sufficient tanker trucks are not available to haul enough fly ash to fully load the injection equipment. Further, on some occasions fly ash from the plant was not available. The injection well was plugged three times during the demonstration. This typically occurred due to cementation of the FBC ash in contact with water. After considerable deliberations and in consultation with the technical project officer, it was decided to stop further injection of CCB`s underground using the developed pneumatic technology.

Preliminary environmental risk assessment on the FGD by-products to beof their levels in air, water, soil and aquatic organisms was the object of several papers. Anthropogenic pyrolitic and combustion processes, related to industrial plants, domestic heating, automobile traffic, are the major sources of these compounds; from these sources they enter atmospheric environment where their concentration is reduced by scavenging during precipitation events: rain, snow and fog in urban areas usually show high contents of PAHs. Dry and wet atmospheric polluted depositions effluents transport appreciable amounts of PAHs to aquatic environment, where they are rapidly taken up and accumulated by both fish and shellfish. Alessandria District, in South-Eastern Piedmont (Italy), lies in the middle of Torino-Milano-Genova industrial area: in addition to local sources, a relatively long range transport of polluted air masses may conduct to this region atmospheric


PAH concentrations in gasoline, suggesting that gasoline reformulation may be effective in reducing PAH emissions from motor vehicles.

Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) concentrations were measured in both the vapor and particle phases at seven sites near the Great Lakes as a part of the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network. Lower molecular weight PAHs, including fluorene, phenanthrene, fluoranthrene, and pyrene, were dominant in the vapor phase, and higher molecular weight PAHs, including chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, and coronene, were dominant in the particle phase. The highest PAH concentrations in both the vapor and particle phases were observed in Chicago followed by the semiurban site at Sturgeon Point, NY. The major sources of PAHs in and around Chicago are vehicle emissions, coal and natural gas combustion, and coke production. The spatial difference ofwas studied. The radionuclides studied were: technetium-99 (two types of disks), cesium-137 (two types), strontium-90 (one type), plutonium-238 (one type). Extractions were tested from DI water, river water and seawater. Extraction efficiency, kinetics (flow rate past the disk), capacity, and potential interferences were studied as well as quantification methods.

A process is described for extracting uranium from uranium ore, wherein the uranium is substantially free from molybdenum contamination. In a solvent extraction process for recovering uranium, uranium and molybdenum ions are extracted from the ore with ether under high acidity conditions. The ether phase is then stripped with water at a lower controiled acidity, resaturated with salting materials such as sodium nitrate, and reextracted with the separation of the molybdenum from the uranium without interference from other metals that

Actual technical operations, such as residue sample acquisition, residue analyses, groundwater sample acquisition and analyses, and material handling studies will get underway early in the next quarter (i.e., January 1--March 31, 1994). Some early results of residue analyses and groundwater analyses should be available by the end of the second quarter. These results will be reported in the next Technical Progress Report.

A retrospective industrial hygiene investigation was undertaken to explain the cause of a statistically significant excess lung cancer mortality observed in a subset of a large cohort of nickel workers involved in mining, smelting, and refining of nickel and copper in Ontario. The focus of this paper is to demonstrate how an industrial hygiene follow-up assessment ofliquid phase and an outlet pipe for the continuous liquid phase located in the direct communication with the liquid in the lower part of said column, an inlet pipe for the continuous liquid phase and an outlet pipe for the dispersed liquid phase located in direct communication with the liquid in the upper part of said column, a tube having one end communicating with liquid in the lower part of said column and having its upper end located above the level of said outlet pipe for the dispersed phase, and a piston and cylinder connected to the upper end of said tube for applying a pulsating pneumatic pressure to the surface of the liquid in said tube so that said surface rises and falls in said tube.

Phillips Company (Houston, TX). One was aimed at securing a process and operating conditions for methane aromatization. The other was aimed at securing a process that may be integrated with separation of wellhead fluids and blending of the aromatics produced from the gas with the crude. Nine patents were granted to ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc. (Houston, TX). Most of these were aimed at securing a dehydroaromatization process where methane-containing feedstock moves counter currently to a particulate catalyst. The coked catalyst is heated or regenerated either in the reactor, by cyclic operation, or in annex equipment, and returned to the reactor. The reactor effluent stream may be separated in its main components and used or recycled as needed. A brief summary of those inventions is presented in this review.

Thetracing the new contour. Contour points on mid-points of pixel transition edges are sequentially located along the tracing direction until the first contour point is again encountered to complete tracing the new contour. The new contour is then added to a list of extracted contours that represent the object. The contour extraction process associates regions and contours by labeling all the contours belonging to the same object with the same label.

The Modular Caustic-Side Solvent Extraction Unit (MCU) utilizes commercially available centrifugal contactors to facilitate removal of radioactive cesium from highly alkaline salt solutions. During the fabrication of the contactor assembly, demonstrations revealed a higher propensity for foaming than was initially expected. A task team performed a series of single-phase experiments that revealed that the shape of the bottom


match the positions of the apertures in the y-direction. The profile of the ion flux reaching the electrode is mainly affected by the bias voltage and the distance between grid wall and extraction electrode.

A method and apparatus for a continuous flow injection batch extraction aysis system is disclosed employing extraction of a component of a first liquid into a second liquid which is a solvent for a component of the first liquid, and is immiscible with the first liquid, and for separating the first liquid from the second liquid subsequent to extraction of the component of the first liquid.

This document presents information on stack gas disposal which was extracted from weekly or monthly technical progress letters published during the period from March 1947 through January 1952. These extractswere taken from documents currently available on the Hanford Site. Selected extracts have been retyped because the reproductions made from some of the aging microfilm are nearly illegible. This chronology of stack gas disposal information was developed specifically for use by the Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction (HEDR) staff.

A method of sublevel caving and pillar and top coal extraction for mining thick coal seams includes the advance mining of rooms and crosscuts along the bottom of a seam to a height of about eight feet, and the retreat mining of the top coal from the rooms, crosscuts and portions of the pillars remaining from formation of the rooms and cross-cuts. In the retreat mining, a pocket is formed in a pillar, the top coal above the pocket is drilled,

We find in the Bible a few stories of people who fell in love.

Shechem the Hivite fell in love with Dinah. The Bible says, “He was deeply attracted to Dinah … and he loved [ahabah] the girl and spoke tenderly to her” (Genesis 34:3, NASB). He ended up raping her, which prompted her brothers to seek revenge and start a war with the Hivites.

Samson fell in love (ahabah) with Delilah. She fell in love with the idea of having power over him. He ended up trapped by her, stripped of his gifting from God, and eventually, dead.

David fell in love (ahabah) with a powerful heiress named Michal. Their attraction was short lived, and she grew distant. Eventually,in 2001 a team of Russian and German scientists brought the first plasma crystal laboratory onto the International Space Station, bilaterally funded by Russia and Germany (DLR/BMWi) and built by the German aerospace company Kayser-Threde and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. This research was so successful that the successor laboratory, PK-3 Plus, was commissioned immediately. In late 2005, the first experiment PKE-Nefedov was then replaced by the new laboratory on the ISS.

PK-3 Plus, which was again developed, built and operated by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and the aerospace company Kayser-Threde, was able to further extend the great success of the first laboratory. With new experiments the scientists could confirm that complex plasma is actually a new state of so-called soft matter, which includes


after just seven laps of practice, leaving the team to guess at a
setup for Friday's Aubuchon Hardware 125 and winding up with a 37th place
finish.

Ciccarelli had plenty to look forward to coming to New Hampshire
International Speedway's NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch East
Series race. He had the first Predator chassis making its first racing
appearance with a new spec engine under the hood. Everything in the car
was brand new and the best parts available. But it only went seven laps
in practice, never even getting up to full speed, before problems
developed under the hood. The engine had failed, and the team, not
predicting that a brand new engine would need a back-up, hadn't brought a
spare. Team owner Larry Jamerson made a call to a valuable employee who
made a midnight run.

"I have tothank Bobby Horner," Ciccarelli said. "He works for Larry and
got the call late Thursday to go to our shop in Maryland, pick up our
spare engine, and drive all night to get to the track at six in the
morning so we could put it in the car."

The Jamerson Motorsports crew went to work installing the engine and
getting the car through tech inspection in time to make the race at the
back of the field. They accomplished this, and Ciccarelli's No. 84 Star
Sales Chevrolet, featuring new sponsorship from the Bad Boys of the
Bering Sea and The Crab Broker, took the green as the 41st car in a
41-car field.

Once into the race, the team faced the reality of not getting any
practice on the new chassis. The car was tight, and with no


notes, the
team had to take educated guesses at what the car might want as far as
adjustments. With few yellows, there weren't many opportunities to work
on the car, and Ciccarelli tried to work with what he had. A blown tire
with 28 laps remaining spelled the end of Ciccarelli's race as he drove
the car off the track and to the hauler with a 37th place finish.

"Coming out of Mansfield, where we blew out a tire and hurt the other
car, we had a lot of work to do to get this new Predator car ready for
this race," he said after the race. "But we got here and we were in good
spirits, at least before practice. This was a brand new motor that only
went seven laps and it blew up. We couldn'tBrooke Haslett (season 1)

Behind the wheel of the Aston Martin

Aston Martin, the maker of James Bond's favorite sports car, said Wednesday it may sell shares for the first time. The British luxury sports car manufacturer seeks to attract more wealthy buyers with an expanded product range including sedans, sports utility vehicles and even submarines.

The company said it will sell at least 25 percent of Aston Martin's shares if it decides to go forward with an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange. Details of the IPO would be published around Sept. 20.

The announcement came as Aston Martin said first-half pre-tax profits rose to 20.8 million pounds ($26.8 million) from 20.3 million pounds during the same period last year.

Chief Executive Andy Palmer said the potential IPO "represents a key milestone in the history of the company."

Laith Khalaf, an analyst with Hargreaves Lansdown, said the expected value of the company could put it near the top end of the FTSE 250 index of mid-sized U.K. companies.

Noting that when Ferrari floated in 2015 it took the stock ticker RACE, Khalaf quipped that Aston Martin should go for "007."

"There are few people who wouldn't want an Aston Martin on their drive, and even fewer who can afford one," he wrote to investors.

"However this stock market float allows investors to buy into a little of the glamour of Aston Martin, without getting a second mortgage."

But he added that potential investors should "concentrate on the company's


Thelema, a religion founded by Alister Crowley, who was a Luciferian and dubbed the most evil man on the planet. He indulged in child sacrifices and other satanic rituals, according to his own writings (Book 4), and bragged about sacrificing 150 per year. He said, “A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory victim.” Followers of Crawley have tried to debunk this information, which has even been written in Crawley’s own memoirs, and his Wikipedia page has been hijacked by Luciferians, who deny the man was evil.

Crowley wasn’t deported from France in 1928 for nothing! He was likely the most evil man on the planet according to his own admissions.

Abramovic is a follower of Crawley and most evil. She brings blood to hermeetings (said to be animal blood, but possibly human blood) and she instructs attendees to cut themselves and “eat the pain.” This could also be one method of conditioning her followers to the pain and suffering of others.

The virtual vigil of Baroness Ameline DuBois

The Crown of Ansteorra has announced the upcoming elevation of Baroness Ameline duBois to the Order of the Laurel.

In addition to a vigil to be held at the Tournament of the Rose prior to her elevation at that same event, there is an online "Virtual Vigil" being hosted so that those who would like to offer words of guidance and encouragement may do so, even if they cannot attend the event.Jack Byrne has said that he speaks to his good friend and fellow Ireland international Troy Parrott on a regular basis and believes that the Tottenham teenager is currently very happy with his club situation.

Byrne and Parrott grew up in the same part of Dublin and both made their first start for their country in a recent friendly international against New Zealand, and while the Shamrock Rovers man is looking forward to the start of a new season in Dublin, speculation has been rife as to what is the best course of action for Parrott to follow to further his career.

Parrott made his Spurs Premier League debut last month off the bench against Burnley, however, manager Jose Mourinho revealed this week that the striker was not the man


to fill Harry Kane's role in the first team while the England forward is out injured, but rather that he has potential and still needs to work a lot.

"I've talked to him about the situation," said Byrne, speaking at the launch of the SPAR FAI Primary School 5s Programme.

"Obviously, I can't say [what we spoke about] but, he’s really happy at Tottenham, he loves it.

"He’s training with the best players, training with one of the best coaches in the world.

"I probably speak to him every few days, to be honest, not necessarily about football but about whatever."

And while Byrne feels that Parrott is happy to remain patient at the north London club, he also believes that the player will take the opportunity when it is inevitably presented toMourinho.

"For his own development, he's only a kid and he's training with some of the best players in the world at Tottenham, it can't be bad for him to stay there.

"I just think he needs to take his time and listen to good people around him. He needs to go with the flow.

"I think some people do forget he's still only 17, but maybe because of how good he is and how good he can be.

"There's obviously the added pressure when you make your Tottenham debut and then you go on and make your Ireland first team debut and you're not coming on for five minutes in these games at the end of the game and being thrown on as a carrot.

To assess prophylactic and curative managements of dural taps occurring during the setting of epidural analgesia (EA) for labour. Nationwide French retrospective survey. From April to July 1997, a questionnaire was sent to 799 French obstetrical units located in both teaching and non-teaching public hospitals and private institutions. Answers were obtained from 267 units (response rate of 33%). Although management of dural taps was similar in 52% of the institutions, only 8% had produced a written protocol. After a dural puncture, EA was still performed in 95% of the units, but usually in another interspace (87%). Large oral fluid intake was the most frequent prophylactic measure (81%). To prevent postdural puncture headache (PDPH), bed rest was

The Yemeni Civil War has led to tens of thousands of deaths, but the international community is just starting to appreciate the gravity of a humanitarian crisis that has preoccupied Yemeni policymakers for years: water scarcity. As Iranian-backed Houthi rebels battle Emirati- and Saudi-trained militias across Yemen, the country’s already-strained water-supply networks are running dry. The ongoing gridlock on the battlefield has obscured a reality that should concern all Yemenis: the longer the conflict persists, the greater the danger that desertification, drought, and famine will damage Yemen beyond repair.

In 2013, two years before the Yemeni Civil War began in earnest, some experts predicted that the Yemeni capital of Sana’a would lose its water supply within 10 years. Since then, a deadly combination of climate change and


the Yemeni Water and Environment Ministry’s ability to deal with the humanitarian crisis as both parties to the conflict weaponize access to water.

“Civil war caused the suspension of many projects meant to address water scarcity,” Saleh tells LobeLog. “In 2013, the government had a strategy for handling this problem, but the offensive launched by the Houthis in 2014 hindered many initiatives, desalination foremost among them.”

In 2015, 13 million Yemenis lacked reliable access to drinking water. The dearth of potable water and destruction of sewerage during the Yemeni Civil War has contributed to recurring outbreaks of cholera in Yemen, a crisis that the United Nations barely has the resources to address . The sectarian violence has also prevented Yemeni officials from dealing with global warming, which will intensify water•R-L: Acting President Osinbajo, Senate President Saraki and Speaker Dogara at the meeting/

The Executive and the National Assembly has reached an agreement to ensure the continuation and completion of 2016 projects that were captured in the appropriation.

The agreement was reached by Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo: President of the Senate Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki: Speaker Yakubu Dogora and the Chairmen of the appropriation committees of both chambers.

The meeting was held at the instance of the Acting President with some members of the cabinet including Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, her counterpart in the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma, Director-General of Budget Office and other members of the Economic Team.

Osibanjo who had visited the National Assembly on Tuesday, called for the meeting upon hearing of


the flaws of the 2017 appropriation and failure of some heads of MDAs to come and defend their proposed budget.

The Acting President therefore scheduled the meeting so as to proffer solutions to the budgetary issues.

They resolved that all projects contained in the 2016 budget but not yet completed would be completed in 2017.

The two arms of government resolved that none of the projects started in 2016 as captured in last year’s budget must be abandoned in 2017 but must be well funded.

Such key projects would also be recaptured in the 2017 budget so as to avoid extra-budgetary expenditure.

They particularly made reference to the scheduled repair of the tarmac of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport scheduled to take-off on March 8 which was not captured in 2016 budget.

What patron would best suit a warlock who struck a pact to get vengeance?

The character concept I came up with is a warlock who struck a deal with her patron after the murder of her father and now her sole purpose is finding out who killed him and exacting her vengeance upon them.

This path was laid before her

A blight upon the darkness
The pact embraced, a road unsought
The Maiden of Death won't be unwrought

and

Vengeance is her only ward
Beware the blood red rose's thorn

After running thousands of computer simulations of heat waves, Teng and her colleagues found that these extreme events in the United States were often preceded by this pattern, up to 15 to 20 days beforehand. In a study describing the work, published today (Oct. 27) in the journal Nature Geoscience, the scientists also found that this same configuration often took place before real-world heat waves that have occurred since 1948.

"This concept could lead to better forecasting of heat wave events, allowing society to better prepare for these types of phenomena," said JeffRohit Phansalkar of New York-based merchant banking firm, Anderson Weinroth & Co.

Bidet is more popular in Europe and Japan rather than in the United States because every house in the United States has showering system built therein. However, many immigrants to the United States from those countries brings bidet and custom of using it with them and spreads it throughout their communities because it is more convenient than taking a shower. Conventional bidet is produced for private use in a house. In spite of the huge numbers of public toilets on the street, there is no public bidet even in the Hotels. In these days, more people prefers bidet if they try it once because it is more clean and make them feel pleasant. Especially, ladies favor bidet because it is known to be good for their sanitary hygiene.Dr Jacob Bronowski and editor Cyril Connolly were among those whose political views were suspected by the secret services

MI5 bugged the phones of leftwing journalists and writers in an intensive but unsuccessful attempt to discover more about the Cambridge spy ring, according to newly released, hitherto top-secret files.

It also drew up voluminous reports on scientist Dr Jacob Bronowski, who became a popular broadcaster, in surveillance operations described by his daughter as "shocking ... just like a Stasi file".

Files released by the National Archives include transcripts from phonetaps from the London flat of journalist and author Philip Toynbee, made shortly after his friend Donald Maclean fled to Moscow with Guy Burgess, a fellow member of


the notorious Cambridge spy ring.

The files, from the early 1950s, suggest MI5 was mainly interested in Cyril Connolly, editor of the literary magazine Horizon, who lived in Toynbee's Paddington flat at the time.

MI5 recorded conversations in which poet Stephen Spender, publisher George (later Lord) Weidenfeld, poet WH Auden, painter Lucian Freud and philosopher Sir Isaiah Berlin were all talked about.

MI5 was most keen to discover what Connolly and his friends knew about Burgess and Maclean.

It carefully annotated newspaper articles that Connolly had written about his former acquaintances.

The files show that MI5 identified the art historian Anthony Blunt and journalist and academic Goronwy Rees as being among Burgess's friends in October 1952, 12 years before Blunt confessed to spying for the Russians.

"We are, for your own information, still makingactive enquiries in the Burgess circle, which, of course, included Rees, Blunt and many others," an MI5 officer wrote to the British embassy in Washington.

He added: "We do not wish to encourage the FBI to direct a lot of questions at us about our progress in this peculiarly British field of counter-espionage."

Although Blunt, the official surveyor of the Queen's pictures, confessed in 1964, a hugely embarrassed establishment covered the matter up until he was exposed in a deathbed tipoff from Rees in 1979.

The FBI was particularly interested in the Cambridge spy ring, as both Burgess and Maclean had worked at the UK's Washington embassy.

The papers show how MI5 built up a large file on Bronowski, a mathematician and scientist who became a successful broadcaster and household name through


his 1970s BBC documentary series, The Ascent of Man. He first came to MI5's notice in October 1939 when a "casual informant" in Hull, where Bronowski was a university lecturer, claimed he held "extreme left and anti-British opinions".

A year later, a Hull police officer told MI5: "I am well acquainted with the members of the local Communist party and at no time have I ever known him to be associated with them."

A series of subsequent police reports warned MI5 that Bronowski had spoken at a Left Book Club meeting about the "alarming growth of fascism". One report described him as a "skilful speaker and agitator of the 'communist intellectual' type", another as a "red intellectual". Yet another misinterpreted a satirical poem.

But his mathematical talents and expertise on theimpact of bombing led the government to give him, in 1943, a job in the research and experiments department of the Ministry of Home Security.

He was later appointed a member of an official investigation into the effects of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

The files show the BBC told MI5 it had "abandoned" a series of planned broadcasts by Bronowski on atomic power.

His daughter, Professor Lisa Jardine, director of the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters at Queen Mary, University of London, told the Guardian: "I can't tell you how shocking it is for me ... It's just like a Stasi file. It's scary." Members of his family were Communist party members, but her father "took the decision very early on never to have an official association with


politics", she said.

He turned down the offer of a post in Harold Wilson's Labour government and later emigrated to the US, because he could not get a senior post in Britain, Jardine said. But he never suspected that MI5 had a file on him.Harmonica player Larry Adler, who performed with Elton John and Sting, was investigated by MI5 over concerns about his alleged communist sympathies, the files confirm.

US-born Adler moved to Britain after being labelled a communist and blacklisted in America, but the files make it clear that MI5 did not consider him a subversive, the files make clear.

Nazis' nasty surprises

German spies were supplied with poisoned products – including chocolate, sugar, pills that looked like aspirin and doctored Nescafé – as well as cigarette lighters that gave offlethal fumes when ignited, to kill prominent individuals among the allies after the Nazis' defeat in the second world war, the MI5 files reveal. Female agents were supplied with "microbe" weapons hidden in handbag mirrors.

The Nazi leadership also planned to plant sleeper agents around the world after the war to provoke global unrest and create a "Fourth Reich", the files disclose.

Olivier Mordrelle, a leader of a separatist nationalist movement in Brittany, told his interrogators after he was captured that "ample funds" had been transferred to South America and "trustworthy key men" had been sent to live in Spain and Switzerland.

Mordrelle said he attended a meeting in Deisenhofen, near Munich, in April 1945 at which German postwar resistance plans were discussed.

He said he was told by a senior SS


officer that underground agents were to lie low after the war ended until they were told to organise anti-Bolshevik movements in their countries in order to "stir up unrest culminating in civil war".

The allies also set up a secret network of agents and arms dumps, called Gladio, in the event of communist-led uprisings in western Europe, it has already been revealed.City title win would be depressing, says FA chairman

FA chairman Greg Dyke insists it would be "pretty depressing" if Manchester City win the title on Sunday because of a lack of English players in their side.

City need just a point at home to West Ham to finish ahead of Liverpool and become champions for the second time in three years.

Joe Hart is the only English regular in Manuel Pellegrini's strongest starting line-up, while James Milner has made 30 league appearances, 18 of them as a substitute.

Of City's other English players, Joleon Lescott has made only 10 Premier League appearances, while Jack Rodwell and Micah Richards are expected to leave the club this summer.

"It's been a great league this year. But, if there is only one England player, maybe


two [in City's team], that's pretty depressing," said Dyke, who received much criticism last week after his FA Commission into the future of English football published its report.

"I think the figures that we produced showed the top four averaged 29 [English players between them] and this year it is down to 24 - we should be worried about that."

Liverpool, on the other hand, were lauded by Dyke with the FA chairman saying England will feel the benefit of Brendan Rodgers' work this season.

Anfield quintet Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Glen Johnson, Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling are all set to feature in Roy Hodgson's 23-man World Cup squad - to be named on Monday - while full-back Jon Flanagan has also emerged as a regular this season.

The congressionally-mandated annual report cites the genocide in Sudan's Darfur region as "the most sobering reality of all." It blames the Sudanese government and government-backed (Janjaweed) militia for the widespread killing of civilians, using rape as a tool of war and systematic torture.

The report acknowledges that the human rights record of the United States itself has been called into question, saying "our democratic system of governance is accountable, but it is not infallible."

The State Department report also cites Iraq and Afghanistan, saying internal or cross-border conflict can threaten advances in human rights. In Iraq, the report says


deepening sectarian violence and acts of terrorism seriously undercut human rights and democratic progress during 2006.

It says Afghanistan's human rights record remains poor, mainly due to weak central institutions and a deadly insurgency.

The report says Russia experienced continued centralization of power in the executive branch, as well as restrictions on the media. It also says the Chinese government's human rights record deteriorated in some areas in 2006, with an increased number of high-profile cases of imprisonment of political and religious activists and journalists.

The report notes significant progress on human rights in Liberia, Morocco and Ukraine. It also commended the Democratic Republic of Congo for holding its first democratic elections in more than 45 years, but said the country's human rights record remains poor.

Q:

Why did Renly consider himself King?

In Game of Thrones Renly Baratheon was the youngest of three brothers and thus fifth in line to inherit the throne after Joffrey, Tommen, Myrcella and Stannis.
After discovering that Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella are bastards, Stannis is the rightful king of the Iron Throne (disregarding the events revealed in future seasons).
Then why did Renly try to proclaim himself King of the seven Kingdoms and why did some men follow him if Stannis was the legitimate King?

A:

Renly was more likable than Stannis as was shown in the series. Renly had the backing of Highgarden and most of Storm's End as well. He had the largest army and there was taking the crown by force, much like Robert had.

Renly: No one want you fortheir King. You never wanted any friends, brother, but a man without friends is a man without power.
...
Stannis: You think a few bolts of cloth will make you King?
Renly: No, the men holding those bolts of cloth will make me King.

And to reinforce what is seen on the show (I thought a similar line was said, but haven't found a clip...), while Renly is speaking to Catelyn about Robb and the North's rebellion:

Renly shrugged. "Tell me, what right did my brother Robert ever have to the Iron Throne?" He did not wait for an answer. "Oh, there was talk of the blood ties between Baratheon and Targaryen, of weddings a hundred years past, of second sons and elder daughters. No one but the maesters care about any of


it. Robert won the throne with his warhammer." He swept a hand across the campfires that burned from horizon to horizon. "Well, there is my claim, as good as Robert's ever was. If your son supports me as his father supported Robert, he'll not find me ungenerous. I will gladly confirm him in all his lands, titles, and honors. He can rule in Winterfell as he pleases. He can even go on calling himself King in the North if he likes, so long as he bends the knee and does me homage as his overlord. King is only a word, but fealty, loyalty, service . . . those I must have." - A Clash of Kings - Catelyn II

Adding to the existing answer, here's Renly Justification on hisdetails of the counterfeiting

he claimed to have originated the idea. It was he, at any rate,
who secured in the United States a shipment of the special paper

That is because Fox, which is the top-rated cable news net, will again be hosting a town hall Sunday (Jan. 26) with Pete Buttigieg in Des Moines, Iowa.

In emails to supporters with the subject line, "Why I'm going on Fox News," Buttigieg's campaign has been explaining why he is appearing on a network Democrats often dismiss as catering to Republicans.

Eighty per cent of these shares were owned by the taxpayer and the remaining twenty per cent by his two brothers.

To meet this requirement the company issued in that year heretofore authorized but unissued nonvoting preferred stock; 620 shares of this class of stock were issued for cancellation of purported indebtedness in the amount of about $38,000 which the books of the corporation showed owing to certain stockholders and a family partnership, and partly for an additional

Mac Levine Named First Female to Solo SUP the Hudson River

On June 17th at approximately 7:30 a.m., Concrete Safaris’ Founding Executive Director Mac Levine became the first woman to standup paddle 138.57 miles from Albany to Manhattan down the navigable Hudson River, in an unassisted journey. Strapping her camping gear and food to her SUP, Levine aimed to bring attention to the importance of outdoor play as a disease prevention tool for children and families.

“New Yorkers have been traveling down the Hudson for centuries, and I wanted to find an inspiring new way to use the river. I followed the lead of Concrete Safari kids who creatively think of new activities to stay healthy, andMazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, and returned to New York City determined to make SUP part of her life. A recreational speed skater for transportation between her Bronx home and East Harlem work sites, she purchased a used board from East Coast Surf Products in Larchmont and began paddling first out of the protected Spuyten Duyvil Creek before graduating to Inwood’s Dyckman Beach on the Hudson River. In July 2013, Levine became an athletic member at Inwood Canoe Club. Levine, known as “Ms. Mac” to Concrete Safaris’ students and families, paddles 3 to 6 days per week, year-round and cross-trains by skating and gardening with the children.

Terra Incognita functions both as an exhibition of individual works and as a single large–scale installation. In Sarmento’s words, “each of the works in the exhibition represents a separate chapter which stands on its own, but in the context of the exhibition, these chapters become a novel.” Together, they tell the story of a connection, crafted by Sarmento, between two of art history’s towering geniuses.

Julião Sarmento has been included in two Documentas and three Venice Biennales. His work is represented in public and private collections worldwide, including: The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Museumof Modern Art, New York; the Musée National d’Art Moderne Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands; the Tate Modern, London, UK and the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan. Recent major solo exhibitions have included the aforementioned 2011 show, Julião Sarmento: Artists and Writers / House and Home, at The Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, New York, as well as Julião Sarmento: White Nights at the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto, Portugal in 2012 and Una Forma Extrema de Privacidad, at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Mexico City, Mexico in 2013.

The Raiders have spent this offseason addressing primarily the defensive side of the ball.

Wednesday, they looked at offense, reportedly working out quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Tyler Thigpen and running backs Bernard Scott and Rashad Jennings.

Wallace, who was out of football last season, will sign with the Raiders, according to reports.

With the recently-acquired Matt Flynn due to make a guaranteed $6.5 million as the presumptive stater, Wallace would seemingly compete with Terrelle Pryor for the backup job. In essence, it shows where the Raiders' collective head is when it comes to the quarterback position -- they want mobile, accurate signal callers who can run when the pocket breaks down.

The 5-feet-11, 196-pound Wallace has appeared in 62 games in his NFL career, which began as a fourth-round draft pick ofSeattle in 2005, and has started 21 times. His record as a starter is 6-15 and he has won once since 2008.

But he is a cost-effective veteran presence -- what, Vince Evans was busy? -- needed in the Raiders' QB room as he has thrown for 4,808 yards in his career on a 59.2 completion percentage with 31 touchdowns and 18 interceptions and an 81.3 passer rating.

Wallace spent the first five years of his career with the Seahawks before moving onto Cleveland for two years in 2010.


A six-year-old schoolgirl has discovered a chilling plea from inmates of a Chinese prison scrawled inside a charity Christmas card from a £1.50 pack sold by Tesco.

The message, which says it is from foreign prisoners in Shanghai's Qingpu prison, says they were forced to work 'against our will' and urgently calls for help from human rights organisations.

The cry for help from cards sold by Zheijiang Yunguang Printing throws a spotlight on the plight of thousands in Chinese prisons, as well as the supply chain behind Tesco's card selection that raises £300,000 for the British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research UK and Diabetes UK.

The heartbreaking plea was found by Florence Widdicombe from Tooting, south London, when she opened the card featuring a kitten in a Santa hat

Yesterday, Tesco bosses announced they were pulling the range of cards from sale in the wake of the scandal.

A Tesco spokesman said: 'We abhor the use of prison labour and would never


our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisations'.

The note was addressed to former inmate and journalist Peter Humphrey, who was held in the prison for two years when he upset authorities while working in Shanghai as a corporate fraud investigator.

'My activities upset the Chinese government,' he wrote, 'which jailed both me and my American wife, Yu Yingzeng, on bogus charges that were never heard in court'.

Charity Christmas cards will remain on sale at the supermarket that were supplied by different factories.

The indictment represents special counsel Robert Mueller’s first charges against Russian government officials for interfering in American politics, an effort U.S. intelligence agencies say was aimed at helping the Trump campaign and harming the election bid of his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made the announcement Friday. Watch his remarks in the player above.

involvement of the officers in the Russian intelligence agency known as the GRU is proved, it would shatter the Kremlin denials of the Russian state’s involvement in the U.S. elections given that the GRU is part of the state machine.

The Russian defendants are not in custody, and it is not clear they will ever appear in an American courtroom, though the Justice Department in recent years has seen value in indicting foreign hackers in absentia as public deterrence.

The indictment identifies the defendants as officers with Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff, also known as GRU.

The corpses' faces were as black as the coal they worked on daily. There were 274 of them — and the fate of up to 150 other miners remained unclear in Turkey's deadliest-ever mining disaster.

While emergency workers battled a toxic mix of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in deep tunnels, anger and despair engulfed the town of Soma, where Turkish officials said at least 274 miners died in Tuesday's coal mine explosion and fire.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was heckled as he tried to show concern and anti-government protests erupted in Soma, Istanbul and Ankara, the capital. Erdogan had to seek refuge in a supermarket, surrounded by police, then leave in a black car after the protest in Soma died down. He also did little for his reputation by noting that workplace accidents are "ordinary things" that happen in many countries.

The display of anger could have significant repercussions for Erdogan, who is widely expected to run for president in the August election,although he has not yet announced his candidacy.

Tensions were high as hundreds of relatives and miners jostled outside the mine's entrance Wednesday, waiting for news amid a heavy police presence. Rows of women wailed uncontrollably and men knelt sobbing or simply stared in disbelief as rescue workers removed body after body.

Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people had been inside the coal mine at the time of Tuesday's explosion: 274 had died, 363 had been rescued and scores of them were injured.

The last worker rescued alive emerged from the mine around dawn and the first burials took place later Wednesday. Rescue operations were halted for several hours into Thursday morning because high gas concentrations in the mine needed to be cleared.

Giza Nergiz, a 28-year-old English teacher, said some of the workers who died hadcomplained about safety at the mine.

"We buried three of our high school friends today," she said, walking with her husband Onur Nergiz, a 30-year-old mine administrator. "A lot of people were complaining about safety, but nobody (in management) was doing anything about it."

"These are ordinary things. There is a thing in literature called 'work accident'... It happens in other work places, too," Erdogan told reporters as he tried to deflect a question about who was responsible for the disaster. "It happened here. It's in its nature. It's not possible for there to be no accidents in mines. Of course we were deeply pained by the extent here."

In this industrial town, where coal mining has been the main industry for decades, Erdogan's ties to mining leaders were sharply noted. Locals said the wife of the Soma mine's boss reportedly works for Erdogan's party and the boss himself had skipped town.

"They are trying to look like they care but they are nothelping anyone. There is no urgency, even now. People blame Tayyip," Giza Nergiz said Wednesday.

In downtown Soma, protesters mostly in their teens and 20s faced off against riot police in front of the ruling NKP party headquarters. The protesters smashed some of the party's office windows with rocks, shouting that Erdogan was a "Murderer!" and a "Thief!"

"Our prime minister is a dictator," said protester Melih Atik, 16. "Neither the government nor the company took precautions in the mine and everyone knows that's why this happened."

Erdogan was forced to oust four ministers from his government in December after they were implicated in a police bribery and corruption probe. The scandal deepened after a series of audio recordings were posted on the Internet suggesting corruption by the prime minister and


his family members. Erdogan denies corruption and says the allegations are a plot to discredit his government.

In Istanbul, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of mine owner Soma Komur Isletmeleri A.S. Police used tear gas and water cannon to break up a group who tried to march to the city's iconic Taksim Square to denounce poor safety conditions.

Police also dispersed a group marching to the energy ministry in Ankara to protest the deaths.

Fences were erected and police also stood guard around Soma hospital, which was treating scores of injured miners. Some locals said the men were being pressured by the mining company not to talk about the blast.

Authorities say the disaster followed an explosion and fire at a power distribution unit and the deaths were caused bycarbon monoxide poisoning. Erdogan promised the tragedy would be investigated to its "smallest detail" and that "no negligence will be ignored."

Mining accidents are common in Turkey, which is plagued by poor safety conditions. Tuesday's explosion tore through the mine during a shift change, which likely raised the casualty toll.

Turkey's Labor and Social Security Ministry said the mine had been inspected five times since 2012, including two months ago in March, and that no issues violating work safety and security were detected. But the country's main opposition party said Erdogan's ruling party had recently voted down a proposal to hold a parliamentary inquiry into a series of small-scale accidents at the mines around Soma.

Emine Gulsen sat with other women Wednesday near the entrance to the mine, where her missing


son, 31-year-old Mehmet Gulsen, has worked for five years.

"My son is gone! My Mehmet!" she wailed over and over.

But Mehmet's aunt, Makbule Dag, still held out some hope.

"Inshallah (God willing)" he will be rescued, she said.

An artist updated a "rebel"-themed mural in a Crossville, Tenn., elementary school gym over the weekend to remove paintings critics said glorified violence and a racist time in Southern history.

The mural on the gymnasium wall of South Cumberland Elementary School, whose mascot is a "Rebel," originally featured Confederate battle flags and a drawing of a Caucasian-toned "Patriot" mascot from rival North Cumberland Elementary hanging from a tree branch by his jersey straps.

Tullahoma, Tenn., resident David Clark complained to the school system in December that the painting appeared to imply a lynching, and that the Confederate battle flags on the gym wall no longer


were appropriate.

Local artist Tim Burgess changed the mural over the weekend, according to Jane Franklin, assistant to Director of Schools Janet Graham and the school board.

The tree branch was painted over, and the Patriot now has a dust cloud, what comic artists call a "briffit," underneath him. The flag carried by the Rebel now is solid red except for white letters reading "SCE," and larger Confederate battle flags on another wall of the gym also have been replaced with the words "Dread the Red."

Graham told the Crossville Chronicle newspaper that Burgess painted the original mural, adapted from a student's drawing in the early 2000s. (The school opened in 1980, adopting the Rebel mascot then.) Franklin said there'd been no complaints prior to Clark's, but that the school systemHIGH streets across Yorkshire could be in for another overhaul and up to 1,000 staff in the region could lose their jobs following the collapse of retailer BHS.

Not long after the appearance of the Druid tokens, other cities, businesses, and proprietors would follow suit and begin designing and minting their own small denomination coinage.

The demand for small denomination coin flourished, and with it the popularity of copper tokens that approximated the size of the halfpenny grew rapidly.  One of the most prolific producers of these private tokens (struck on behalf of merchants) was Matthew Boulton.  In fact, during his lifetime Boulton would strike millions of these merchant pieces.  Boulton was no stranger to the manufacture of small metal items, having grown up with


Influence of physical activity on urinary leakage in primiparous women.
The impact of physical activity on urinary leakage (UL) has previously been considered, but not in relation to first pregnancy and delivery. The aim of this study was to describe physical activity and urinary leakage before, during and after the first childbirth. The subjects who were invited to participate in the study were taken consecutively from nine maternity clinics in the northwest part of Stockholm County, and the study group included 665 primiparous women. The mean age of the women was 28 (range 17-43) years. The women answered one questionnaire during the 36th gestation week and another 1 year post partum. Physical activity/exercises were classified according to their impact on the pelvic floor, and the women were divided intoa single-subject, multiple-baseline study. Children were between 24 and 42 months of age and had language impairment. Interventionists used the Teach-Model-Coach-Review instructional approach to teach caregivers to use matched turns, expansions, time delays, and milieu teaching prompts during 24 individualized clinic sessions. Caregiver use of each EMT language support strategy and child use of communication targets were the dependent variables.

ResultsThe caregivers demonstrated increases in their use of each EMT language support strategy after instruction. Generalization and maintenance of strategy use to the home was limited, indicating that teaching across routines is necessary to achieve maximal outcomes. All children demonstrated gains in their use of communication targets and in their performance on norm-referenced measures of language.

ConclusionThe results indicate that the Teach-Model-Coach-Review instructional approach resulted in increased use of EMT

Costs under scrutiny

The Productivity Commission issues paper has been released as part of a scheduled review of the NDIS before it is fully rolled out.

The scheme is expected to cost $22 billion a year and cover 460,000 Australians by the end of the decade.

Cost pressures facing the NDIS will also come under scrutiny.

The commission said more children than expected had joined the scheme, especially in South Australia, Victoria and the ACT.

It also said fewer people than expected had exited the NDIS during trial periods and the cost of care packages was increasing faster than inflation.

Apple is now the number one wearables seller in the world. The company shipped approximately 3.5 million Apple Watch units during the first quarter of this year.

According to new research stats, the Mac maker’s watch shipments went beyond those by rival Fitbit from January to March 2017. This paved the way for Apple to grab almost 16 percent worldwide marketshare and become the world’s top wearables merchant.

Yemen's treasury was burdened by the costs of unification such as paying for southern civil servants to move to the new capital, Sanaa, and paying interest on its massive debt. On top of its other economic challenges, Yemen was to absorb the shock of 800,000 returnees and their pressure on the already weak job market.

The unification of two Yemeni states (the north Yemen Arab Republic and the south People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen) resulted in the formation of the Republic of Yemen three months prior to Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait . The newly formed country's economy inherited many structural problems and massive debt from the former two states.

On March 26, 2015, 25 years after the first Gulf War, Saudi Arabia launched a war against Yemen that is provingpressures enhanced by the mass return of workers did not leave room for the political differences to be sorted out. Civil war broke out in the summer of 1994 in what could be interpreted as a symptom of economic failure.

The unification of the two Yemens was built on the promise of exploitation of oil resources for the benefit of the people, but when the economic situation deteriorated, the southern leadership — which was being politically marginalized in the new government — started calling for secession. Ali Abdullah Saleh, the first president of the unified Yemen, did not approve such a move by the southern leadership, which fled the country after Saleh’s victory in July 1994.

By 1995 the Yemeni government implemented a program of macroeconomic adjustment and structural reforms


to address the spending issue and the monarchy was reluctant to conduct economic reforms for fear they would encourage calls for political reform. The unspoken agreement between oil-exporting monarchies and their citizens was the exchange of welfare for political freedom, a win-win situation in which citizens enjoy luxurious lifestyles financed by petrodollars and the monarchies enjoy no challenge to their reign.

When the Houthis, old foes of the kingdom, seized control of the Yemeni capital in late 2014, the political animosity between the two countries returned. Back in 2009, Saudi Arabia engaged in a military operation against the rebel group after it attacked a Saudi patrol on its southern border with Yemen.

Saudi Arabia launched and led a military intervention in Yemen in March 2015. Since leading a war, especiallyone with little prospect of ending, comes with huge costs, Saudi Arabia recorded the highest budget deficit since the post-Gulf War period at nearly $100 billion (15% of GDP) in 2015, and projected its highest budgeted-for deficit yet for 2016 (13.5% of GDP). Once again, we see an overspill of political conflict between the two neighboring countries onto their economies. Needless to say, the Yemeni economy was failing long before this war and is barely functioning at the moment. Saudi Arabia’s siege on Yemen reduced critical imports such as food and medical supplies, and fuel prices increased due to the Houthis' decision to completely lift oil subsidies, adding to the burdens of skyrocketing prices of basic commodities such as food and water since the start of the Saudi-led


(15 carries for 123 yards). Spiller was filling in, again, for injured starter Fred Jackson. The 292 yards he has in two games this season tops his total from all of 2010 (283), and is more than halfway to his 2011 mark (561).

Fourth Down: The New Orleans Saints

Mayday. The Saints may still have what it takes to get to the postseason, but they're off to an ugly 0-2 start. Without head coach Sean Payton, fill-in head coach Joe Vitt and departed defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, New Orleans has coughed up 75 points in two games -- 40 last week to Washington and 35 to Carolina on Sunday (though seven came off a pick-6 from Drew Brees).

The offense, behind 325 yards passing from Brees, put up 27 against thePanthers but had just 13 at halftime and failed to score in the third quarter. New Orleans has three games before its bye: Kansas City and San Diego at home, and a trip to Green Bay. Anything less than a 2-1 record might bury New Orleans for 2012.

First Down: Dante Rosario

With Antonio Gates a surprising scratch on Sunday, Rosario stepped into a much bigger role than expected for the Chargers against Tennessee. Rosario caught four passes ... and the first three went for touchdowns. By the time the Titans knew what was hitting them, San Diego had a 24-3 lead and was rolling to a 38-10 victory. Philip Rivers connected on 24 of his 32 passes on the day for 284 yards.

Fourth Down: Blaine Gabbert

Jacksonville had a shot


263 yards over the first three quarters (so the math says he finished with 510 total), but he also tossed three early interceptions, one of which was taken back to the house by Eric Wright. Facing a 27-16 deficit heading into the final 15 minutes, though, Manning took over. He hit Victor Cruz for an 80-yard score with 6:48 left to tie the game at 27 (thanks to a two-point conversion), then put the Giants ahead on a TD toss to Martellus Bennett.

After Tampa Bay responded to tie the game at 34, Manning led one more scoring march, which Andre Brown capped with a 2-yard TD run.

Fourth Down: Tony Romo (in Seattle)

Romo's botch job against the Seahawks on a 2007 playoff field goal attempt still lives on inDallas fans' nightmares. The Cowboys didn't have a chance to go for the win Sunday in Seattle, as Romo and the Dallas offense took the day off. Romo did throw for 251 yards and a 22-yard TD to Miles Austin. Still, he and his offense struggled to generate anything consistently against the Seahawks' defense in a 27-7 loss.

First Down: Danny Amendola

All eyes were on Robert Griffin III in St. Louis for his second NFL start. But it was a tremendous performance by Amendola that helped the Rams pump the brakes on the RGIII hype train, as the Rams held on for a 31-28 win. Amendola cost his team points earlier, when he fumbled and Josh Wilson scooped it up for the score. After that, there was no stopping


Amendola, who caught 15 balls for 160 yards and a touchdown. Bonus: He also returned four punts for 29 yards.

Fourth Down: Stephen Gostkowski

The Patriots looked lethargic all day against the Cardinals on Sunday. They still looked like they were going to escape with a win when Arizona RB Ryan Williams put a fumble on the deck late. Gostkowski blew New England's chance at that gift win by hooking a last-second field goal wide left, giving Arizona a stunning road victory.

First Down: Pittsburgh's defense

The Jets probably set the bar too high on offense last week by dropping 48 on the Bills. That said, you have to tip your cap to the Steelers, who shut down Mark Sanchez and co., despite the absences of defensive stalwarts James Harrison and TroyFougères
