1. Petitioner’s parents were concerned that
Gardasil vaccination in December 2008 may have caused her whole problem. In February 2009,
petitioner developed a viral illness with headache and malaise. She also developed photophobia,
phonophobia, and annoyance with smells. After two or three weeks, she had a gait problem. A
number of physicians saw her. Her strength and physical examinations were normal. Her testing
was normal except for an elevated antinuclear antibody (“ANA”). A presumptive diagnosis was
migraines. Petitioner became so incapacitated that she had been in a wheelchair and out of
school since February. Petitioner seemed to be depressed and had lost weight, mostly because
the smell, taste, and consistency of food troubled her. Id. A child neurologist at Boston
Children’s Hospital felt the cause might be psychological. A physical therapist, Adrian Fil, at
Sunnyview Hospital, noted petitioner’sAugust 25, 2009). She said she woke up a lot at night. Id.

       Dr. Sandler noted that petitioner came to the office with the assistance of her mother
because she was unstable walking on her own. However, she did walk unassisted as she left Dr.
Sandler’s office, but walked very slowly and not steadily. He noted she was alert, oriented, very
cooperative with the interview, and made good eye contact. Her speech was clear and normal in

a profound
migraine at the end of February 2009 and went to the emergency room in early March 2009. She
had received a Gardasil vaccination a few weeks earlier. Testing included nerve conduction and
EMG to rule out Guillain-Barré syndrome. She also had MRI, MRA, and lumbar puncture, the
results of which were also unremarkable. Ativan was unsuccessful and she continued to have
headaches, which were diffuse, ranging from 4/10 to 8/10. There were no clear precipitators.
Elavil was discontinued and she was on Periactin, Propranolol, and Cymbalta. Cymbalta had not
affected the severity of the headaches. Dr. Nichter was seeing petitioner now for syncopal
episodes occurring at least five to seven times a week during which she would stand up and walk
toward the kitchen or another location, have black spots, and be on the floor.She was a bit
tachycardic after the event. With the introduction of the Propranolol, these events significantly
increased. Her gait was not as efficient after the lumbar puncture as before it, but she was
improving. The lumbar puncture was benign and the opening pressure was 16. Dr. Sandler did
not see any pathologic or psychological issues. Id. During her physical examination, petitioner
wore sunglasses and lay her head on her mother’s lap during most of the visit. Id. at 45.
Petitioner was able to jump on two feet. She balanced on one foot for about ten seconds. Her
gait was slow, but not lurching. Dr. Nichter’s assessment was that petitioner’s gait continued to
improve. Propranolol may have exacerbated her syncope. Id. There was no clear successful
intervention in her headaches. Id. at 46. His plan was to


October 23, 2009, in the evening, petitioner went with her parents to Albany
Medical Center Emergency Department, complaining of difficulty breathing at home. Med. recs.
Ex. 553, at 52. Over the last three days, she had some increasing congestion, including bringing
up a productive sputum. That day, however, she began having a fever and started Tamiflu.
However, her cough persisted, similar to a croup cough, and she had stridorous respirations to
the point she was having difficulty breathing. Upon arrival in the Emergency Department, her
breathing improved significantly and her parents stated that she had significant improvement on
the way to the Emergency Department. Id. Dr. John Burton did a physical examination and
found some mild tonsillar hypertrophy to the oropharynx, but no exudate or erythema. Id. at 53.
Oxygen saturation was normal. She did not haveacross her entire head,
and inability to function as well as to attend school. In addition, when she took certain
medication, she had difficulty walking and had a dystonic reaction to Reglan when the ER at
Albany Medical Center gave it to her. More recently, she was prescribed Ambien to help her
sleep and she had a similar reaction. Today, petitioner had difficulty walking in Dr. Argoff’s
office and her parents told him this difficulty occurred frequently. She had been treated with a
variety of agents including Cymbalta, Topamax, amitriptyline, Aleve, Periactin, Ativan,
Propranolol, magnesium, multivitamins, and vitamin B2 and nothing had helped her. Petitioner
complained of words not appearing as words when she looked at them, but she had not seen her
ophthalmologist recently. She had not seen a neuro-ophthalmologist either. A pediatric
neurologist at Boston Children’s

recommendation. Id.

        On November 8, 2009, petitioner saw Dr. Charles Rheeman, a neuro-ophthalmologist, to
evaluate petitioner for difficulty in reading. Med. recs. Ex. 15, at 2. She gave a history that she
developed numerous symptoms in February 2009. Id. She received two doses of Gardasil, the
second in December 2008. Id. Since February 2009, she had had daily severe headaches
associated with photophobia and phonophobia. Id. She also developed problems with walking
and was undergoing physical therapy. Id. Her main visual complaint was difficulty reading
because the words “float.” Id. She used a paper for alignment in order to read. Id. She also had
trouble sleeping and eating, having lost about thirty pounds. Id. She reportedly had a negative
MRI and negative lumbar puncture.Med. recs. Ex. 3, at 7. Petitioner’s father sent in advance a 100-
page notebook to Dr. Cornblath on Gardasil adverse reactions. Id. Dr. Cornblath recounted
petitioner’s short series of headaches in 2007 after a soccer game. The headaches were mild and
resolved, and she had a negative head MRI. Petitioner received two Gardasil vaccinations, the
first on August 26, 2008, and the second on December 3, 2008. She was well until about
February 15, 2009 when she developed a sore throat, fatigue, low-grade fever, and swollen
glands, lasting a week. Id. After that, she had headaches, which worsened and were associated
with nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, and loss of appetite. Id. Her pediatrician Dr. Kennette
diagnosed her on February 26, 2009 with migraine and prescribed Lortab and Imitrex. Id.
Symptoms continued and, by March 2009, petitioner developed


          At the end of the interview, [petitioner] asked me if I thought she
                was crazy. I told her that she had a serious set of symptoms for
                which the doctors had been unable to find the cause. However, in
                most people of her age who have a normal neurologic examination
                and extensive normal neurological testing, she has anlymph
nodes, lasting for about one week. Id. She also had mild headaches at that time. Id. One week
later, on February 21, 2009, her headaches worsened. Id. She was diagnosed with migraine. Id.
Her symptoms continued until March. Id. She also developed an inability to maintain balance in
order to walk. She did not have vertigo or nystagmus. Id. Her headaches worsened. Id. She
began various medications, including multivitamins and melatonin. Id. She had lower extremity
weakness and, on June 30, 2009, testing showed she had an elevated ANA. Id. at 1, 2. On
November 11, 2009, she saw Dr. Cornblath at Johns Hopkins, who did not feel that Gardasil
caused her symptoms. Id. at 2. He evaluated her and did not find any objective evidence of
neurological deficits. Id. On October 23, 2009, petitioner had


Gorlin
sign, 31 and could make a clover-like configuration with her tongue. She had a number of
fractures. At age 8, she fell on her wrist and fractured it. She sprained her left ankle soon
afterwards, requiring a cast and then a walking boot. At age 11, she fractured her left fourth
finger when someone stepped on her hand. At age 12, petitioner had a fracture at the epiphysis
of the right ankle while playing soccer and was in a cast and a boot for a total of seven weeks.
She underwent nuclear medicine scanning at that time because of persistent pain and concern
about complex regional pain syndrome. At age 14, she fractured several bones in the left hand
after hyperextending her thumb in volleyball. Also at age 14, she fractured her left fibular in
soccerand refractured this bone when she fell walking up stairs. She had some headaches in
2007 that resolved. Id.

        Dr. Rowe noted that petitioner did not have an immediate reaction to either of her two
Gardasil vaccinations, the first on August 26, 2008 and the second on December 3, 2008. Id.
Her main problems began on February 15, 2009, when she suddenly developed a sore throat,
fatigue, and swollen glands that lasted a week, followed within five days by a headache, which
became progressively worse, associated with photophobia, phonophobia, and diminished
appetite. Id. She had not been well since the onset of this illness. By early March 2009,
petitioner was collapsing, weak, unable to walk, and spent much of the day reclining. She did
not walk much until August


echocardiographic evidence of trace mitral
regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, and aortic insufficiency, but no murmur.

         Currently, petitioner reported headaches, lightheadedness, syncope, fatigue, cognitive
problems, photophobia, phonophobia, gastrointestinal symptoms, some hair loss, problems
regulating temperature, cold feet and hands, numbness in an ulnar distribution which awakened
her every other night, insomnia, racing of her heart, occasional shortness of breath, acne, and
increased thirst. Petitioner reported a constant headache that never resolved, but also clusters of
more intense worsened headaches. Sometimes, the headaches felt like a vise, exerting pressure
within her head, and stabbing, causing downward pressure on the top of her head. Loud noises
and bright lights aggravated the intensity of her headache, although lately the photophobia had
not been as bad. She slept with earplugs. She often skipped breakfast. Shestated she never had
a problem with lightheadedness and syncope until her illness in February 2009. Her legs would
give out in March 2009 and her heart raced. She had a poorly coordinated gait that may have
been related to weakness and deconditioning. Lightheadedness and syncope were more clearly
reported in April or May 2009 whenever she would move from sitting to standing after she had a
month or more of almost total inactivity. Her Holter monitor average heart rate was 76 beats per
minute with a range of 52-160 beats. She had a true loss of consciousness with syncope about 12
times over the course of the illness, but syncope was less frequent in recent months. She still had
some lightheadedness with dimming of her vision when she stood up, but tended to hold on
tightly


to something and resolved the lightheadedness fairly promptly. She had a number of
orthostatic intolerance postures, such as sitting with her knees to her chest frequently. Fatigue
occurred daily, although she had occasional spurts of better energy. Activity and sleeping too
much or too little worsened her fatigue. After a syncopal episode, her fatigue was often worse.
It was also worse after shopping. Id. Hot weather also worsened her fatigue. Id. at 6. She could
force herself to attend a special event or have a special day, but then her malaise increased for
one to two days afterward. She had a variable attention span and concentration. Her
understanding tended to flag when she was more tired. However, her grades had been good. She
was still quite sensitive to sounds within her house although her photophobia andin the 90s and she was taking up the flute and the
drama club. Id.

while climbing on a snow bank. Med. recs. Ex. 14, at 28. Dr. Uhl suspected medial collateral
ligament injury, but he could not explain her complaint of some numbness. He noted that “in the
past the patient has had altered sensations and may be predisposed to RSD [reflex sympathetic
dystrophy also known as complex regional pain syndrome 34].” Id. He also noted that petitioner
had a prolonged period of thumb pain “with no specific explanation.” Id.

fetal position, crying constantly. She tried oxycodone and slept a while. The headache tended to
be diffuse and pounding with photophobia and phonophobia. Petitioner switched from Aleve to
Tylenol. Yet, on some days, even four days, she took nothing, but on other days, she took five to
seven in a day. Probably, every week, she took at least four pills a week. Medications she tried
but which failed included Topamax, Benzodiazepine, Reglan, and Maxalt. Two precipitating

advised her to work on her sleep hygiene. Although Dr. Argoff recommended Botox, petitioner
said she did not want it. Dr. Nichter also recommended she increase her dosage of melatonin.
Id.

         On May 7, 2015, petitioner saw PA Sujata Kane, complaining of low back pain and a
rash. Id. at 1. Petitioner said she had low back pain for the prior four to five days. She had been
lifting a free weight of approximately 50 pounds, which was heavier than what she usually lifted
in the gym. She knew her posture was not the best when she did this. She also had a rash on her
right lower extremity for two days. Petitioner said she has


pre-lupus and a connective tissue
disorder with a history of significantly elevated ANA. She told PA Kane she had never been to a
rheumatologist. She said she was allergic to Ambien, Reglan, Toradol, Compazine, and
Depakote. Id. She said she stopped taking Elavil because she thought it did not work. PA Kane
diagnosed petitioner with a back muscle spasm. Id. at 2.

       On June 24, 2013, petitioner filed the expert report of Dr. Yehuda Shoenfeld, an
immunologist, as Exhibit 24. He worded hisphysical therapy. Id. For the orthostatic intolerance, Dr. Rowe suggested she raise
the head of her bed and wear compression garments. She could use postural counter-maneuvers
such as clenching her fists when she began to stand or when she felt lightheaded. He also
suggested petitioner receive two-liter infusions of normal saline over one to two hours to
modulate autonomic tone. Id.

        On November 21, 2012, petitioner and her mother saw Dr. Jennifer Lindstrom, a
pediatrician and internal medicine specialist. Med. recs. Ex. 552, at 23. Petitioner’s mother
believed that Gardasil caused all her medical problems, including gait instability, severe
headaches, an elevated ANA, and orthostatic hypotension. Id. Petitioner had been on multiple
headache medications without success. Hypnosis failed to help her and she refused to follow up
with neurology again.


2014, petitioner and her parents saw Dr. Nichter, the neurologist. Id. at
9. Stress was an issue for petitioner. Over the last several weeks, she had such difficulty with
stress that she would hyperventilate sometimes and have a 15- and 20-minute period where she
was not in control of herself. This exacerbated over the last few weeks. She had a significant
sleep dysfunction. Before trying to sleep, she would take a Tylenol PM, which contains
Benadryl, and then perhaps a glass of wine a few times a week. Id. She had daily headaches.
She did not take any medication for POTS but used various salts. Id. On physical examination,

she
complained to her pediatrician Dr. Karen Kennette that when she stood up, she felt very dizzy.
She felt as if she were on a boat. Her gait was slightly slow secondary to her headaches. Dr.
Kennette examined petitioner in a dark room where petitioner was wearing dark sunglasses.
Because the headache persisted, petitioner underwent on June 7, 2007 a brain MRI, which was
normal. On June 8, 2007, petitioner’s mother called Dr. Kennette to say petitioner was still
complaining of a headache and was absolutely no better. She had to lie in a dark room. On June
8, 2007, petitioner went to Albany Medical Center Emergency Department, where petitioner
gave a history that three weeks earlier, she was refereeing a soccer game and felt as if her head
were spinning. She also had a headache andhad to sit down. The episode resolved. But a week
before she came to the hospital, she had another headache similar to the first one. It was bilateral
and frontal. Her dizziness was mild. But she also had photophobia, phonophobia, and
associated nausea. The neurologist on call diagnosed migraine.

       On August 14, 2007, petitioner complained to Dr. Kennette of fatigue.

        Between petitioner’s first Gardasil on August 26, 2008, and her second Gardasil on
December 3, 2008, she had no complaints other than injury to her left ankle and a fractured left
fibula.

        Two and three-quarter months after the second Gardasil, petitioner saw Dr. Kennette on
Thursday, February 26, 2009, complaining of a bad headache


she had on February 21, 2009,
weak pain, nausea, fever, dizziness, and photophobia. Her father prescribed on February 19,
2009 Cipro for presumed sinusitis. Some of the possible side effects of Cipro include headache,
dizziness, pain, nausea. See n.8 supra. Petitioner started taking Cipro two days before the onset
of her headache. Dr. Kennette diagnosed petitioner with photophobia, bitemporal squeezing
pain, and migraine. Petitioner walked out of Dr. Kennette’s office holding onto her mother’s
arm. Dr. Kennette presumed petitioner had sinusitis.

       Petitioner’s headache continued until she went to Albany Medical Center Emergency
Department on March 6, 2009 where she saw a number of doctors including the neurologist Dr.
Nichter. She improved briefly the next day, but her headaches continued. On March 31, 2009,

                               I. SUMMARY OF THE EVIDENCE

       At 6:45 a.m., on June 10, 2003, Susana Villa was walking on Scenic Drive on her way to

Crockett Elementary School in El Paso, Texas, where she was teaching summer school. She saw

a car pass, and then she noticed it had turned and was approaching her in the other direction. She

recognized the driver as the individual who had passed her just before. The individual stopped in

the


middle of the road and yelled at Villa to get into the car. He was wearing some type of uniform,

and she briefly thought that he was a police officer. However, he came to Villa and grabbed her by

her arms and attempted to pull her toward his car. She struggled as he dragged her towards the car.

She threw herself on the pavement, acting as dead weight. While she was on the ground, she kicked

the car door shut with her foot. As the struggle ended, Villa saw that the assailant had a knife in his

hand. The knife was about eight inches long and it had a green handle.
        Villa did not remember being stabbed. However, she was picked up by two people whowere

passing by in a van, and they noticed that she had blood all over her pants. She realized she had been

stabbed. At trial, Villa was shown a knife that had been subsequently removed from Appellant’s

bedroom. She testified that it resembled the knife used in the attack, but she could not be sure it was

the same knife. Villa identified Appellant in the courtroom. She testified that she was positive of

her identification, stating that she “just [had not] forgotten that face.” No objection was lodged to

the in-court identification.

        Deborah Ibaven and her mother Rebecca were driving in a van on Scenic Drive when they

witnessed the attack. Deborah saw a man hitting something. When they got closer, Deborah saw

Villa on the ground struggling with


the man. She was kicking, struggling, and screaming for help.

The man was trying to pick her up by her arms. At first, Deborah thought some sort of domestic

dispute was occurring. She began to call 9-1-1 on her phone. However, as other cars approached,

the individual dropped Villa and drove off. Deborah testified that she was able to observe the

attacker, and without objection, she identified Appellant in court as the assailant.

        Rebecca Ibaven testified she was taking her daughter to her college classes by way of Scenic

Drive, when she saw the driver in front of her looking back at something. She observed the struggle

between a man and a woman. The woman was yelling for help. The man had a moustache and was

wearing athat she had seen Appellant in the hallway outside

the courtroom and told the prosecutors that he was the assailant. This was after she had seen the

driver’s license.

       Outside the presence of the jury, Appellant moved for a mistrial, based on prosecutorial

misconduct. In the alternative, he requested a continuance. The court denied both motions.

       Rebecca Ibaven also testified she was shown several photo line-ups, and she had identified

“some people, but [she didn’t] know if that was the correct one.” She identified Appellant in court

without objection. She stated she was positive of her identification.

       Susana Villa testified she was shown a photo-lineup that included a picture of Appellant, and

she identified Appellant from


FORMER Morton and Livingston goalkeeper Colin Stewart hopes it'll be a case of happy families as he takes his first steps into management at Kilwinning Rangers.

Stewart has teamed up with brother-in-law Chris Strain as co-bosses at the Buffs and has wee brother Fraser as a potential glove rival at the club.

Five-year-olds to programme computers under new curriculum

British Prime Minister David Cameron (second left) speaks to students in a mathematics class at Cedar Mount high school in Gorton, Manchester on October 4, 2011. Children will learn to write computer programmes and study internet safety from their first two years of school under a revised national curriculum unveiled Monday.
(Pool WPA/AFP/File)

LONDON (AFP) – Children will learn to write computer programmes and study internet safety from their first two years of primary school under a revised national curriculum unveiled Monday.

They will learn basic mathematics, such as fractions, at the same age and will go on to cover a complete chronological history of Britain under the curriculum to be introduced in English state primary and secondary schools from September 2014.

Prime Minister David Cameronhailed the "rigorous" new syllabus, which follows five months of consultation by the Department for Education and Conservative Education Secretary Michael Gove.

"This curriculum marks a new chapter in British education. From advanced fractions to computer coding to some of the greatest works of literature in the English language, this is a curriculum that is rigorous, engaging and tough," Cameron said.

The curriculum has been revised following criticism of previous drafts, with the new history syllabus broadened out after it was criticised for focusing on Britain at the expense of other parts of the world.

Human impact on the climate now features in the geography and chemistry sections after an outcry over its absence from the previous draft, while evolution will be taught to primary school pupils for the first time.

College Leaders general secretary, Brian Lightman, said: "Our biggest concern is with the timeframe and the lack of resources to prepare for such a major change.

"Pupils and teachers in 2014 are going to have to cope with new GCSEs, new A-levels, new vocational qualifications, new ways of tracking pupil progress... on top of new curriculum content in all subjects. This is a massive change.

"We need the government to publish a full developed educational plan... Our young people shouldn't be treated as guinea pigs in an educational laboratory."

But Gove told ITV's Daybreak the changes "can't come quickly enough".

"I want my children to receive an education as rigorous as any country's," he added.

Academies and free schools can opt out of the National Curriculum but have to follow what officials call2011, the trial court

issued a four-page judgment entry in which it granted appellees partial summary judgment and

held, in relevant part, as follows:

       It is undisputed that [Robert] began embezzling money from the Carnegie Group
       no later than August 6, 2008. It is also undisputed that entities subject to this
       partial summary judgment were formed after August 6, 2008: Crown Point was
       formed on September 22, 2009; Canton Courthouse was formed on January 15,

In opposition, Robert averred that he was never asked about his education at the

time he was hired. On December 21, 2012, the parties entered into a settlement agreement.

       {¶9}    Several months after the settlement agreement was signed, on March 19, 2013,

appellees filed a motion for relief from the settlement agreement and for attorney fees.

Appellees maintained that the settlement was premised upon the Berryhills’ fraudulent

representations that they lacked assets and funds to satisfy a judgment. However, appellees later

learned from Robert’s 2012 involvement with the Veterans’ Administration Butler project that

the Berryhills actually had numerous assets, including cars, a house, and an ownership interest in

a partnership agreement that was worth approximately $5.2 million.         offenses in

2013, Mary did not have meritorious claims against appellees. He repeatedly warned her that
her interest in the various projects would be deemed invalid because of her husband’s actions,

and he attempted to obtain a restitution plan from Robert to settle the matter.

       {¶25} Wooley further testified that when Mary disregarded his warning and filed this

action, he was forced to take a defensive position, and then filed the counterclaims. Since the

factual predicate of the lawsuit is Robert’s fraud and embezzlement, he was required to

reexamine all of Robert’s dealings with Carnegie and appellees, as well as the conduct of Mary

in order to follow the trail of funds to her. Discovery was both difficult and costly because of

the failure of the Berryhills to provide information


Candidate Mitt Romney's positive debate reviews last week gave New York Republicans reason to expect that they'll avoid a repeat of their Carl Paladino problem of two years ago. As the Republicans' 2010 ticket-leader, Paladino gave a miserable performance against Democrat Andrew M. Cuomo for governor that was widely seen as a down-ballot drag -- damaging Harry Wilson's bid against Comptroller Thomas...

State Senate seats are open again Nov. 6, but with Romney atop the GOP ticket. Democrats still have a growing enrollment edge, and presidential-year turnouts run higher than usual. It was amid the 2008 election of Barack Obama as president that Democrats won the Senate for a term.

But not allRepublicans had feared in the first place that Romney would hurt their party's legislative or congressional candidates here.

"I don't believe we ever felt it would be a debacle in New York," state GOP spokesman Anthony Casale said Friday. "We have never felt that our down-ballot people would be in trouble because of Romney. We're just looking to get our base energized."

KEY COURT PICK:Cuomo appointed Randall T. Eng last week as the new presiding justice for the Appellate Division, Second Department, which covers slightly more than half the state's population in 10 counties -- including Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Kings and Westchester.

Hundreds of homes and businesses in Cornwall have started selling electricity to their local energy network and the national energy system in a pioneering move.

The trial is the first time that traditional energy users – such as homes, hotels and businesses – have acted as suppliers in a microcosm of a full energy system.

The trial harnessed together 100 Cornish homes, fitted with batteries and solar panels, to act as a mini virtual power plant for the local energy network, Western Power Distribution, and the UK’s energy system operator, National Grid. During sunny spells when homes generate more than enough electricity from solar panels they can store the power to use later, or supply the energy system with clean extra power.

The homes took part in the trial alongside 150local businesses, which were prepared to adjust how much energy they used depending on the balance of energy supply and demand on the grid. If wind and solar power output dropped the companies could choose to use less electricity in exchange for a payment from National Grid, or if the local grid had more electricity than it needed the companies could ramp up their energy demand.

National Grid already offers to pay firms that own utility-scale batteries to provide a similar service, but the trial is the first time that companies can take part in the same “local energy market” as the network operator. The market was designed by energy giant Centrica and modelled on the same system used to balance energy markets across Europe. The energy companies believe


NBA: San Antonio Spurs Sit Five Stars, Lose To Oklahoma City Thunder

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich really means it when he says that the NBA Playoffs are more important than the regular season. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he decided to sit five of his top stars, according to ESPN. It’s already hard enough to beat Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant when your team is at full speed. It’s especially hard when you are relying on your role players and reserves. The Thunder picked up the expected victory over the Spurs.

As a gigantic marketing company, the NBA was really hoping to draw in fans to the game between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. They’re two of the best teams inPistons star Andre Drummond have done on their own in a single game several times.

Fortunately for the San Antonio Spurs, they received some help from their bench players. Andre Miller, Jonathan Simmons and David West combined for 45 points, outscoring the starting unit. Miller and West, two NBA veterans who were added this season because they wanted to chase a championship, also chipped in with 14 rebounds and five assists. On the flip side, the Oklahoma City Thunder received 22 points from their bench, with 20 of those coming from Enes Kanter himself.

How I Fell in with the Criminal Element

Making Mystery Friends:
How I Fell in with the Criminal Element By Lori Rader-Day,
author of The Black Hour and Little Pretty Things

In the fall of 2011, when I walked into Bouchercon St. Louis, I was the loneliest mystery writer in the world.

Inside that conference hotel were nearly 1,800 people who all lived and breathed mysteries. I knew precisely one of them.

William Kent Kruger

Terry Faherty(The Quiet Woman) and I had met at an earlier writing event, where he had the occasion to suggest to me that the novel I was trying to write might be a mystery. This was news to me. It shouldn’t have been. I’d been a Lois Duncan and Agatha Christie fan from way back and had turned all


who inspire young readers to discover the genre. We have a bookstore owner (August Aleksy, of Centuries and Sleuths), literary agents (Danielle Egan-Miller of Browne & Miller in Chicago), and the self-proclaimed 2000-year-old librarian herself, Doris Ann Norris. In 2015, three of the five nominees for the Best First Novel Anthony Award were members of MWA Midwest: Kristi Belcamino (Blessed Are the Dead), Allen Eskens (The Life We Bury), and yours truly (The Black Hour).

Not even a humble brag, there, because I’m proud of how far I’ve come and of what our merry band of mystery lovers achieves every year. I’m also proud to know the many members of MWA Midwest who are still working toward getting their first novels finished and polished. It’s a hard, lonely job,I believe the MLB is stronger than the NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) because of the level and numbers of foreign players playing in the MLB from all over the world. I would place the NPB above all US triple A teams though, as the NPB is a much higher level of play. When the MLB and the NPB leagues play each other the games are all played in Japan, and not all the MLB players come overseas, and then many players (and their team management) are not keen to go all out for the games.

In the Baseball Classic the USA loses out because the Japanese team is just better and or plays better together, as all the very talented Latin American players play for their national teams and


have a stake in the Asian League or they wouldn’t cooperate, so funds would have to go to the national league systems and they must not be left on the outside looking in. Government involvement in the teams would be made clear and penalties given for violations. The national leagues from each country should do as the English Premier Football League does and level up the best team from their leagues when one of their Asian League teams hits the bottom of the rankings table in this proposed Asian League. The worst Asian League team would be relegated to playing back in the national league system, unless from a country with only one team and no national league system to fall back on to replace the lowest fallingMarines from the bottom to mid-table, that he might escape some of my experiences being he was more well known, and thus would allow the blending with the “Japanese Way” with other ways to take place. Then the shoe dropped and they fired him as I’d feared and I was pissed as they then dropped down the league table again.

Happily Bobby’s return and the teams great success proved a great step to bringing a mixing of ideas in the sport. From Bobby’s getting rid of the cherry blossom pink uniforms to his raising pressure in practice. That being by giving money for hits, and a lose of money for strike outs, while at the same time lessening the pressure during games on his players he was able to

increase the number of sites for absorbing the preservative solution, and minimize the distance preserving and coloring solutions must travel through tissues. However, larger displays of preserved plants require intact and entire plants. These prior methods cannot supply plant material for this demand. These prior methods also use more labor to accomplish this unsatisfactory result.
The preservation of hop plants presents particular challenges due to the unwieldy size and shape of the plant. The hop plant, Humulus lupulus, grows on a network of trellises, lattice works, poles, strings and wires which are employed for support. Hop plants typically attain heights of eighteen to twenty feet. The vertically winding stems of hop plants are generally referred to as bines in the hop growing industry. The predominantly horizontal branches from thepublished originally in 1954 and since then widely available only in French translation, was to be a kind of crowning achievement for Black Lizard. Unfortunately, before we could publish it, the company was sold and the editors who inherited the series deemed Black Wings unworthy of publication.

As were many fiction writers of his era, Chaze was a disciple of Hemingway: brief, often blunt sentences devoid of unnecessary frills or explication. Like Hemingway, he was a newspaperman—the five Ws (who, what, where, when, why) were his commandments. James M. Cain, Paul Cain, W. R. Burnett, A. I. Bezzerides, and dozens of others rode similar rails, but what made these particular writers stand out was that they usually had a good story to tell.

I told many people about Black Wings,


one of whom, the movie producer Monty Montgomery, paid Chaze a visit at his home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in 1987. Montgomery told Chaze he would like to consider making a film of the novel, but Chaze said he’d already sold the film rights to a French director/actor named Jean-Pierre Mocky, ending that conversation. (Mocky did, in fact, make a movie out of it, but not a very good one.) Montgomery told me that Chaze had been borderline polite to him, cordial but crusty.

It so happened that a year or so later, I was in the neighborhood (New Orleans), so I drove up to see Chaze myself. He and his wife lived in a small bungalow with a narrow porch out front near the railroad tracks. I knew hehad worked for many years as a reporter for the Associated Press, in Louisiana and Colorado, and then at the Hattiesburg American, where he was the city editor for more than a decade. He’d written a number of novels beside Black Wings, “literary” novels as well as a short series about a crime-detecting newsman named Kiel St. James. I’d found and read a few of these, and the only one I thought had anything to recommend it was Tiger in the Honeysuckle, a “straight” story dealing with racism. Tiger was all right, but nothing else Chaze wrote came anywhere close to what he had accomplished on all levels in Black Wings.

Chaze welcomed me warily, saying right off that in his opinion New Orleans was a cesspool of filth


and degeneracy and that it literally stank. Why would I want to spend any time there? he asked rhetorically. Once inside the little house—his wife, Mary, he explained, was sick and locked in her bedroom—he took me into his study, sat down at his desk, and pointed to a gun in a holster hanging on a nail in the wall just above it.

“After my prostate surgery,” Chaze said, “I was in so much pain, I came in here and took that pistol”—he stood up, removed the gun from its holster, and sat down again— “and put it in my mouth, like this.” He put the tip of the business end to his lips, held it there for a few moments, then held it out away from him beforeThe Korean super star Min Chul 'MC' Jang , who signed with SK in January 2012 was offered an extension of his contract early in December this year.

Manning has been buoyed by the faith and belief that Gettleman and Shurmur have expressed in him, by their words and by their actions.

Health

The 2017 season was impacted dramatically last August when Briean Boddy-Calhoun’s controversial low hit knocked Beckham (ankle) out of the regular season opener against the Cowboys.

Shurmur bubble-wrapped Beckham, in the final stages of rehabbing the fractured ankle he suffered last October, at a delicate time during the preseason, when negotiations were intensifying on his megacontract. He has been smart with Barkley, making sure his tweaked hamstring is ready for the Jaguars on Sept. 9. The only major concern is Vernon (ankle).

In the days leading up to the 2017 opener, Manning was unable to get on the same page with the injured Beckham or faded Brandonhe also had two helpers against Canisius on Oct. 15, 2011. Davies has three points in his last three games, after he also scored in the Bobcats win against Colgate on Jan. 14.

The Con(nor) ManLeading scorer Connor Jones saw his six-game scoring streak halted when he failed to register a point against Harvard on Feb. 3. The second-year Bobcat responded with one of Quinnipiac's two goals in a 2-1 win against Dartmouth on Feb. 4.

The Bryce Is RightBryce Van Brabant tallied his third goal of his first season at Quinnipiac in the Bobcats' 6-3 loss to Harvard on Feb. 3. Van Brabant's goal was his first since Nov. 1 and his first point since Dec. 9.

Big BenBen Arnt's goal against Dartmouth on Feb. 4 gave Quinnipac a two-goal


lead after the first period, and would stand up as the game-winner in the end. It was Arnt's fourth goal of the year, and his first since Oct. 16 - a span of 17 games.

Elite CompanyWith two assists against Harvard, following a goal-and-an-assist game against Colgate, Matthew Peca joined Connor Jones and Scott Zurevinski as the only players to post back-to-back multiple-point games this season. Jones has accomplished the feat twice (Oct. 12 & 15; Nov. 1 & 4) while Zurevinski did it on Oct. 15-16.

Quinnipiac's January Athlete of the MonthJunior Zack Currie was named Quinnipiac's January Athlete of the Month. The third-year Bobcat currently leads all Quinnipiac defenseman in points (7 goals, 7 assists, 14 points) thanks in large part to a strong January in which thejunior scored two goals and assisted on four more. Currie was the only Bobcat in Quinnipiac's line-up to produce two multiple-point games in QU's four games for the month. He assisted on both goals in a 2-1 upset of ECAC Hockey rival and nationally-ranked No. 20 Yale, before scoring once and assisting on another goal in a 7-1 route of No. 12 Colgate. Currie added assists against Brown and Cornell, making him one of two players on Quinnipiac's roster to tally a point in all four games this month.

Mr. Hockey At The BankQuinnipiac improved to 3-0 all-time when NHL Hall of Famer Gordie "Mr. Hockey" Howe is attendance, as was the case on Jan. 14 when arguably the game's greatest took in Quinnipiac's 7-1 win against Colgate.

Power OutageLoren


Barron's goal against Yale on Friday, Jan. 6, was just the fifth power play goal allowed by the nationally-ranked Bulldogs this year.

Next Up For QuinnipiacQuinnipiac heads to the Capital District to take on Rensselaer (Friday, Feb. 17) and Union (Saturday, Feb. 18).

The Bobcats At The BankQuinnipiac is 57-33-11 (.599) in 101 games at the TD Bank Sports Center, since its first game, a 7-0 win against Holy Cross, on Jan. 28, 2007. Quinnipiac's 100th Men's Ice Hockey Game at the TD Bank Sports Center will fall on Feb. 3, 2012 against Harvard.Tube map used to plot Londoners' life expectancy

The map shows life how life expectancy varies between different Tube stations

A version of the Tube map has been produced to show how life expectancy varies from station to station.

The contrast it depicts between Tube stops is stark, with the variation in life expectancies of children born near stations only minutes apart being years different.

The map - called
Lives on the Line
- was created by University College London (UCL) researcher Dr James Cheshire and shows some startling results.

For example, it shows there is a 20-year difference in life expectancy between those born near Oxford Circus and others born close to some stations on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR).

Newborns around Star Lane are predicted to live, on average, for 75.3 years in contrast


to 96.4 years for those near Oxford Circus.

'Different patterns'

Elsewhere, there is a six-year difference between Pimlico and Vauxhall - consecutive stations on the Victoria line, but on opposite sides of the River Thames.

WHAT THE MAP PLOTS

The life expectancy at birth of those living within a 200m radius of each London Underground, London Overground and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station

The rank of each London ward on the spectrum of Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index

In 2008, the London Health Observatory showed that if travelling east on the Tube from Westminster, every two Tube stops represented more than a year of life expectancy lost.

This work inspired Dr Cheshire's latest research, which uses data based on government statistics showing life expectancy at birth for those living around the stations.

"I wondered if differentDr Cheshire said.

'Two cities'

Stations serving east London's Olympic Park fair badly and contrast with the Olympic volleyball venue at Earl's Court, in west London, whose spectators will be passing through areas with far higher life expectancies and lower child poverty.

Shadow Health Minister Diane Abbott, who is MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, an area where life expectancy is plotted as being relatively low, said the map showed "a tale of two cities".

"You need to send more money to where it is needed, and that's the poorer boroughs," she said.

Dr Cheshire analysed patterns across the network

She suggested the government "needs to look at children's diets, fizzy drinks machines in schools, school meals and stopping the advertising of junk food".

Public Health Minister Anne Milton said: "The link between life


expectancy was affected by "early child development, education, employment and working conditions, having the minimum income to live a healthy life, the environment and the issues of smoking, obesity, drinking and diet".For indispensable reporting on the coronavirus crisis, the election, and more, subscribe to the Mother Jones Daily newsletter.

A nine-year-old in Arizona accidentally killed her gun instructor on Monday when the Uzi he was teaching her to fire recoiled out of her control and shot him in the head. A video of the incident shows 39-year-old Charles Vacca switching the gun into automatic mode, then standing at the girl’s side as she pulls the trigger and the weapon’s force wrenches her arm in his direction.

Many commentators have since expressed disbelief—though not the NRA, which was busy talking up fun for kids at gun ranges—that a child was permitted to wield a weapon with such firepower.

MADISON — The legal drinking age would be only 19 in Wisconsin under a bill circulated by the former president of the Tavern League and two other Republican lawmakers.

The proposal unveiled Wednesday calls for lowering the drinking age from the current minimum of 21 only if Wisconsin would not lose its federal highway funds. A federal law passed in 1984 penalized states with a reduction in federal highway money if they didn't have a minimum drinking age of 21.

The bill sponsors say that at age 19 "there are very few things that you cannot do," but drinking is one of them.

They say lowering the drinking age would negate the need to spend "countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars" enforcing drinking laws, especially on college campuses.he labored in obscurity for so long while being counted out, he out one foot in front of other and wants to remind voters that he will “not take the low road to the highest office in the land.”

2/3 of GOP voters today favor a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States:


10 in Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina saying they are very worried about the nation’s economic future. That dips to 6 in 10 in Ohio. Still, 1 in 5 or fewer in each of the five states voting today say they feel they personally are falling behind financially. – Majorities across three of the states voting today — Ohio, North Carolina and Illinois — said trade with other countries takes away U.S. jobs, while about a third in each of those states said it creates jobs. – Majorities of Republican voters across all five states today say they feel betrayed by the Republican Party, but not all were seeking someone from outside the establishment to carry the Party’s mantle. Majorities in Missouri and North Carolina said they wantedan outsider, as did about half in Florida and Illinois, and slightly less the half said so in Ohio. – Anger with the way the federal government is working is a bit more tempered here than it has been in other primary states. Between one-third and 4 in 10 GOP voters in each state said they were feeling angry about the way the government has been working. Across all other states with exit or entrance polls so far, an average of 42% described themselves as angry. – Majorities in all five states said they thought those working in the U.S. illegally ought to be allowed to apply for legal status, ranging from just over half in Missouri to nearly 6 in 10 in Florida. – Two-thirds or more


say they support a temporary ban on allowing Muslims to enter the country, that finding holds across all states. – Overall, about 29% of voters across all states with GOP exit or entrance polls so far have said they made up their minds in the final days of the campaign. Across these states, the share saying they made a late decision ranges from about 15% in Florida to about a third in Illinois and Missouri. – Across all four states where it was asked, Trump has the lead as having run the most unfair campaign. – Demographically, today’s states present some variety. Not all have a heavy concentration of religious voters.

Bray argued that he was 25 feet away from the door, obliging to the law, but that he shouldn’t have to leave if the premises is being used as a polling site.

Breitbart News reached out to Schoeller for comment, but did not receive a response.

Bray supplied Breitbart News with a photo and videos of the exchange.

RNC rules after his Marianas victory:

See, in the Northern Marianas, Tuesday began 14 hours before it began on the East Coast. So its Super Threesday caucus was done overnight, and Trumpwon all nine delegates. In doing so, the Northern Marianas became the eighth state or territory in which Trump won a majority of the delegates. (The others: South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Hawaii and Mississippi.) And according to the rules of the Republican convention, a candidate must “demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination.” No eight states, no nomination.

The Gemara in Eruvin (68a) describes an encounter between the Amoraim Rabbah bar Rav Chanan and Abaye. Rabbah bar Rav Chanan asked Abaye why in a city of two great Amoraim [himself and Rabbah] neither of them had erected an eruv. In an attempt to vindicate himself and Rabbah, Abaye answered that it was not fitting for Rabbah’s dignity to go from door to door collecting the requisite matzos, and that he, Abaye, was so preoccupied with his learning that he had no time to supervise the eruv of the city.

The Mordechai infers from this Gemara that under normal circumstances when the rabbi of an area is not similarly preoccupied, he has an obligation and a mitzvah to erect an eruv for his community.

The human red nucleus consists of the well-developed parvicellular red nucleus (pNr) and the rudimentary magnocellular red nucleus (mNr). It is believed that the human pNr is separated from the nucleus accessorius medialis of Bechterew (NB), which, generally speaking, is located in the ventral central gray. It was initially suggested that the "rolled sheet" model of the human pNr that we proposed included the view that the human NB does not occupy the ventral central gray but is placed in the dorsomedial part of the red nucleus. It is perhaps more appropriate to state that the NB, the origin of the medial tegmental tract (MTT), over time became displaced from the ventral

As lineups stretched a kilometre back from the border on one of the busiest days of the year, the British flag was flying on the only flagpole visible to the great majority of travellers, positioned in a small park adjacent to the row of CBSA booths.

The border crossing normally has two Canadian flags - one on either side. On Monday, the flag to the right was taken down. (CBC) A much smaller Canadian flag stood behind it, concealed from most travellers by foliage.

A Canadian flag normally also flies on a less prominent flagpole on the opposite side of the booths. On Monday it had been removed entirely (see photos at top and at right).

Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu Friday slammed federal immigration officials for creating a huge public risk with their plans to release an illegal alien with drug-resistant tuberculosis into the largest city in Pinal County."This is unacceptable — and it's reckless disregard for the public's safety," Babeu told Newsmax.The illegal was identified to Newsmax by county health officials as a man from Mexico who has been treated at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center for the past seven months.Florence, with about 26,000 residents, is the Pinal County seat. Located between Tucson and Phoenix, about 420,000 people live in the county, Babeu said."You have an obligation, because of the public-health concerns, to either hold him in custody or deport him to his country of origin," the sheriff said. "It'snot been able to obtain any information from ICE about the illegal or his medical status. The agency this week relocated 50 Central American minors to the county who had been detained at the South Texas border, he said."There's the threat and concern of the public and our families' fear. We didn't sign up for this," Babeu said. "The federal government has an obligation to not deliberately, knowingly endanger the public. This would do exactly that."Pinal County Health Director Thomas Schryer told Newsmax that the illegal is "somebody who has started and stopped TB therapy multiple times, which is why he has a drug resistance."Any further information would have to come from ICE, which first informed Schryer of the possible release two weeks ago."We've been told, first off,

In response to the victim's identification, the police went to Alvarado's apartment. They covered the possible exits to prevent escape, and knocked on the doors and windows for about ten minutes. Hearing no answer, they entered the apartment through an open window, awoke the appellant, took him outside where he was placed under arrest, and asked for his consent to search the apartment. Alvarado replied, "I don't care. Go ahead." The arrest and subsequent search occurred at about 3:00 in the morning.

Founded as an addition to the American Football League in 1960, the Kansas City Chiefs actually began playing in Dallas as the Texans. Two years later, the team moved to its present home in Missouri and, in 1970, it was merged into the National Football League and eventually become part of the AFC. Though the Chiefs have yet to win their first Super Bowl, the team has been no stranger to post-season appearances and even success. All told, Kansas City has made an appearance in no less than 17 post-season match-ups between both the AFL and NFL. As a result, they've won eight division championships, an AFL-NFL championship, and three AFL championships that took place long before the advent of the Super

The videos both separate and unite the elements. The items are put together in the sequence. There is a sense of time passing but as the images repeat the accumulating effect is of a suspended moment in their domestic lives. Movement is implied; an empty chair previously occupied could suggest that the person who occupied it has simply moved to a different part of the room but there is also a sense that they have gone.

The situation came to a head with the affair Laurent-Brasseur, two professors from Ghent who had, in the view of the clergy, made ex cathedra statements contradicting the official teachings of the Church. The Church had, by means of the Convention of Antwerp, gained a solid influence in academic matters and used it. This affair brought to light the deep divisions between liberals and Catholics and the country was divided into two camps: a clerical one and an anti-clerical one who battled each other in every way possible.

The streets were quiet. It had not been long since the last EU troops had been pushed out of the capital, and the damage was evident. Soldiers patrolled the streets. Citizens wandered the streets in pairs, wary of any sign of airplanes in the sky, or explosions in the harbor.There was a single bomber approaching, but one was not a concern. It was the hundreds and hundreds of bombers in the EU air force. At least, one was not a concern until the flash of light obliterated Kiel.

The plane


approached Oslo. The citizens of Oslo did not know war. War was foreign, a far away concept that had never visited Oslo. While the war with the Geats had raged on for centuries, it had never visited the secure city. The inhabitants looked towards the sky, at the single plane approaching. Most had never seen an airplane, it was an awe-inspiring sight. At least, it was awe-inspiring as long as they still lived.

The flash annihilated any semblance buildings in the city. Oslo was an ancient city. The buildings were mostly wooden and stone. Technology had been slow to reach Norway, and the city was still medieval. The splitting of atoms wiped the slate clean.

The city of Randers was very similar to Oslo. Being securely tucked away deep insideof S-H territory, they had never known war. The city was very modern, the peak of technological innovation in Denmark, and one of the largest left in S-H. That would not be true for long.

Hanstolm. The city that thrived on water. A major port, it produced dozens of ships to serve in the navy. The Hanstolm Times was known as the primary news source in the S-H nation. No longer.

The shanty-town of Hfre- whatever. The last holdout of the Geats. It fared worse than Oslo, with mere tents and wooden shacks being blasted to bits.The small sections of the city that had been there since the city was settled still stood, if heavily irradiated death traps.

As Poland collapsed, this time for the last time, the council of Poland

Walter and Pruzinsky were divorced at the time she initiated the bankruptcy proceedings. Therefore, Pruzinsky was neither a party to nor did he participate in the negotiation of this agreement. Pruzinsky was, however, like Gianetti, a creditor of the Walter bankruptcy estate and, as such, was entitled to receive notice of the proposed settlement. After receiving notice, Pruzinsky filed a written objection to certain language in the proposed order which Gianetti and the trustee had drafted to settle the claim. The objection stated:

Now comes Jerry Pruzinsky, creditor in the above captioned matter and objects to the entry of the proposed order approving settlement and particularly the final paragraph of the same for the


error was a mere "clerical mistake." The failure to strike Pruzinsky's name from paragraph three of the proffered order was not the result of a failure by the bankruptcy court properly to act as an amanuensis; it was the result, rather, of the failure of Pruzinsky's lawyer to request that paragraph three be changed. The lawyer was talking "only" about paragraph four, as the bankruptcy court was clearly given to understand, and it was only "that portion of the order" — the portion where Pruzinsky's name was preceded by the compound connective "and/or" — in which a change was requested.

When asked specifically whether deletion of Pruzinsky's name from "that portion of the order" (i.e. paragraph four) would do the trick, Pruzinsky's lawyer responded "Yes. Yes."

However, the method in which the deposits are removed by etching or the like has had the problems, for example, in that it shortens the life of apparatus depending on what kind of material is used in the members disposed inside the film forming chamber, it is difficult to ascertain the completion of the removal of deposits, and it takes a long time for removal of the deposits.

Under such construction, the inner wall of the film forming chamber 11 is exposed to air and hence the gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water contained in the air are adsorbed on the inner wall of the film forming chamber 11, so that it has sometimes occurred that it takes a long time until the inside of the film forming chamberto drink a ton of it and he was and still is one of the most fit men I know.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Iran in May 2016 and the India-Iran-AfghanistanTrilateral Agreement on Establishment of International Transport and Transit Corridor was signed, many were apprehensive about its implementation, most the Iranians themselves. The latter because they had seen many an Indian promise and also heard many platitudes about the depth of historic Iran-India relationship, none of which seemed to ever fructify. A larger agreement on the development and use of Chabahar was in the offing but hanging in suspense since 2003.

What the Modi government has been able to achieve through the recent actualisation of Chabahar as a conduit for Indo-Afghan trade is in effect something immensely strategic. Its furtherance may well turn relationships and geopolitics in the region on their head. However, for now there isa churning in the great game politics of the region because of which there is large scale uncertainty about the future. Amid this, the actualisation of the trade and transit treaty is actually an achievement of no mean proportions; however, the furtherance of it is going to be a challenge.

On 29 October 2017, the first of six shipments totaling 1.1 million tonnes of wheat, which India is gifting to the government of Afghanistan left Kandla (Gujarat) for Chabahar. India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj along with Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, through a video conference, observed the first shipment. An Indian statement noted, “The two Foreign Ministers welcomed the fact that this is the first shipment that would be going to Afghanistan through the Chabahar port after the


countries, let alone any facilitation of Indo-Afghan trade. This is the status despite the clear advantage, which could accrue to Pakistan. From 1992, ever since the Central Asian Republics (CARs) came into being, India has sought overland access through Pakistan but been denied that. The only other option to the creation of expensive air freight corridors to CARs and Afghanistan lies in the exploitation of the territory of Iran with which India has had a good but insufficiently realised relationship. Geopolitics, first the regional and then the global, have prevented the actualisation of an interests-based relationship.

The geopolitics we refer here primarily concern two aspects. First, the US sanctions, which forbade trade including energy; and second despite the strategic cooperation over Afghanistan, being unable to take the relationship tothe next level. In fact the compulsions of that situation have never been sought to be overcome through intelligent alternatives and sufficiently robust pursuance. That is something the Modi government can take credit for turning around and commencing walking the talk.

However, the move of Indian consignments to Chabahar and beyond may still be considered a baby step in the way ahead. Two developments and a few observations are of interest in this regard. First, things were different in May 2016; the Iran nuclear deal signed some months earlier had created a positive environment. Iran was opening up to the world and people who visited Tehran and Chabahar spoke of the rush of business people from all over the world. That situation has obviously changed although interest in Iran


still continues. The coming of President Donald Trump and the doubts cast on the nuclear deal has created an uncertainty, which is never good for investments and business.

Secondly, the situation in the Middle East has changed with the vanquishing of terror group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Bashir Assad’s adversaries in the Syrian civil war. The Levant is open to increasing Iran-Russian influence. The attempts at isolating Qatar by the Saudi-led grouping of Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE, has drawn Doha closer to Tehran. Both these events have taken the focus of Iran towards its Western boundaries. Interestingly, the Iran-Russian cooperation also appears moving east into Afghanistan.

The US Defense Department accuses Moscow and Tehran with allegations that Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces routinely fight alongside Taliban militiasin Afghanistan, and that Russia had distributed small arms to Taliban fighters via Iranian proxies. This has prompted President Trump to place greater reliance on India to play a proactive role in Afghanistan; the US to India advisory stopped short of a demand for Indian boots on ground in west Afghanistan. It also led the US to make renewed efforts of cooperation by Pakistan to stop support to some of the terror networks of the Taliban such as the Haqqanis under Sirajuddin Haqqani.

However, there has been little response to that urging. On the face of things, Afghanistan appears to be replacing Syria as the new conflict zone for contestation of big power strategic space. The US influence in the Middle East having partially diluted with the Iranian-Russian success


it is once the consignment of wheat from India reaches Zahidan, the progress to Delaram and beyond to Kabul by the road route is open to threats by the Taliban, which controls much of west Afghanistan. Unless there is Iranian cooperation, with the Taliban on board, to ensure the safety of the vehicles, this may become another major contestation between Indian and Pakistani agencies in Afghanistan. It may also be remembered that Indian presence in the Sistan and Baluchistan province of southern Iran is being stoutly resisted by Pakistani intelligence.

The kidnapping of the Indian ex-naval officer Kulbhushan Jadav is a case in point. With increasing trade through Chabahar, the ire of Pakistan’s ISI will only increase and repetition of such cases could occur to discourage Indian access topermit greater unfiltered access to the massive communications databases. Nor do they apply to surveillance conducted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa), a law circumscribing the conduct and reach of surveillance aimed at people inside the United States.

Instead, the rule change applies to surveillance under a highly influential and mostly secret Reagan-era executive order, known as 12333, which sets rules governing exclusively foreign-focused intelligence collection.

Privacy advocates and whistleblowers have long pointed to broad latitude presented within 12333 that they contend provides a way of avoiding the ostensibly court-ordered surveillance of Fisa. Some said that the new rule change underscores their fears.

“This development is very troubling for Americans’ privacy,” said John Napier Tye, a former state department official turned surveillance whistleblower. “Most people don’t realize this, but even

Obama's big speeches have been unusual, because the side they come down on is that of complexity. In his classic Philadelphia "race in America" speech: the recognition that every part of our racial mix has its insecurities and blind spots. In his Nobel prize address: that military force is not the answer but is an answer. In his West Point speech a year and a half ago: that the U.S. can't stay in Afghanistan forever but should stay for a while. You can apply this analysis to almost every major address.

Including these latest speeches. He argued that the United States has "interests" in the Middle East -- oil, stability, anti-terrorism -- and it also has ideals. So it will try harder to advance its ideals, without pretending itseem a policy in itself. Rather than seeming just "contradictory" or "indecisive." This is unusual enough that it's worth noting. (And for another time: the vulnerabilities this approach creates.)

Israel's Cheney. By "a Cheney" I refer to the vice presidential version of Dick Cheney, who (in my view) mistook short-term intransigence for long-term strategic wisdom, seemed blind and tone-deaf to the "moral" and "soft power" components of influence, profited from a polarized and fearful political climate, and attempted to command rather than earn support from allies and potential adversaries.

That was bad for the U.S. when Cheney was around. It's what Netanyahu

Right after Obama made his big speech, it was welcomed in most of the world and by most major U.S. Jewish organizations. The immediate critics were Mitt "throw Israel


under the bus" Romney, Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, Mike Huckabee, and Binyamin Netanyahu. Explain to me the universe in which this is a wise strategic choice for a nation highly dependent on stable relations with the United States -- and on ultimately making an agreement in the region that allows it to survive as a Jewish democratic state.

Think of this contrast: when China's Hu Jintao came to Washington for a state visit, each of the countries had profound disagreements with the other. (Chinese leaders hate the U.S. policy of continued arms sales to Taiwan, much more so than Netanyahu could sanely disagree with any part of Obama's speech.) Neither China nor America is remotely as dependent on the other as Israel is on the United States. Yet Obamathinks pushing LGBT youth to suicide is a solution to anything.

"Wow, you're going to the launch of the new Face magazine? I'm so jealous!"

That was the response of my dad when I told him what I was doing for work, and it totally took me by surprise.

His face lit up as he told me about buying The Face for the first time in May 1980, and he even had the first 10 editions on hand to show me.

But as someone in their 20s, the magazine really doesn't mean much to me - it went out of print in 2004 when I was 10 years old.

In its heyday, The Face came out every month and would feature interviews withthe biggest artists in the UK and US, along with showcasing fashion trends, club culture and cutting-edge photography.

Cover stars included everyone from David Bowie, Duran Duran and Oasis to actor Luke Perry and Naomi Campbell.

An unknown Kate Moss appeared on the cover in 1990 in a move that has been widely seen as the one that launched her career as a supermodel.

So as the magazine relaunches this month, will it succeed in capturing a whole new generation of pop culture and fashion lovers?

"The time felt right for a magazine that offered a certain amount of curation when the internet offers endless scrolling and endless information," The Face's deputy editor, Matthew Whitehouse, tells Newsbeat.

"Hopefully everybody will want to read it, ideally you want teenagers to want to buy it
