defined as much by duels with the NCAA as being the architect of some of the greatest teams ever assembled. Jerry Tarkanian, watching the game with a USA TODAY Sports reporter, still flashes that U-shaped smile when he relishes a moment like this one, which transports him back to all those game nights he gnawed on a towel opposite Gucci Row.

The Runnin' Rebels this season are chock-full of potential NBA talent and can dream of a Final Four run again. And for the first time in two decades they are doing it by fully embracing the on-court success of Tarkanian's teams. With two former players – head coach Dave Rice and assistant Stacey Augmon – on staff from the 1990 national title team, and with an overt pushto illuminate positive memories of those glory years, one of history's most unique programs has finally rediscovered its roots.

"The most important thing," says Greg Anthony, the point guard on UNLV's Final Four teams of '90 and '91, "is you are starting to see the identification of all that was positive about what we were able to accomplish as a group. I am just happy that Coach Tarkanian, his legacy, particularly in Nevada, has been embraced by both generations, and that's extremely important."

***

For so long around UNLV, anything associated with the Tarkanian era represented the towel-chewing elephant in the room. It was too radioactive for most to sell or market. It was a mini-dynasty ignored or buried. Many former players had distanced themselves from the program, harboring bitter feelings


about how the university, NCAA and media treated Tarkanian during his final few years, which culminated in a forced resignation following the 1991-92 season. And the program that reached four Final Fours between 1977 and '91 spiraled into irrelevance.

The late Charlie Spoonhour, UNLV's coach between 2001 and 2004, took baby steps to reconnect the program with the past. His successor, Lon Kruger, went further, eagerly extending a hand to former players. The court was named after Tarkanian in 2005. But some former players remained estranged, angry at the university because Anthony says, particularly in the early 1990s, "you had an administration that for many years was anti-Tarkanian."

"With Dave taking over and Stacey there, it just elevates it to another level for the players that have played there inthe past," says Kruger, who took UNLV to four NCAA tournament appearances – including a 2007 berth in the Sweet 16 – in seven seasons. "As much as we could invite them back and wanted them to be a part of it, those are people who actually lived it and can do it even more aggressively."

And now the man Anthony says was the "perfect hire" at the perfect time presides over the program, a former Rhodes Scholar candidate who celebrated on the court in Denver when the final buzzer sounded in the most lopsided national title game in history. He rode atop the convertible during the championship parade on that early April day in 1990, realizing then how a team of college kids can galvanize even a community


of transients. And he is cognizant of the political minefield that once existed here, with different factions wanting everything or nothing to do with the past.

In his office these days, down the hall from grainy pictures of Larry Johnson and Anderson Hunt, are two cushioned seats from Denver's McNichols Sports Arena emblazoned with the 1990 Final Four logo. In more ways than one, UNLV has no reluctance now in keeping reminders of those years nearby.

Rice calls himself a "facilitator of tradition." He speaks to parents and high school coaches about how he wants to infuse his team with the same mental and physical toughness those teams espoused. His discussions with players are so Tark-like that Augmon often knows what's coming out of Rice's mouth before he says itbecause "Dave and I come from the same cloth." Players say they have worked on a version of Tarkanian's famed Amoeba defense in practice. And Rice is showcasing a familiar style of play. Ask Roy Williams if Rice's Rebels can run: UNLV beat then-No. 1 North Carolina, 90-80, almost one year ago.

"This town is still so infatuated with those teams," said forward Mike Moser, the face of this year's team. "It is almost hard to breakout from that shadow until we win a championship."

History is laden with other memorable, influential champions, but few as dominant. These were men; the starting lineup in 1991 consisted of players with a combined 23 years of college experience. They exuded an us-against-the-world mentality, thriving in 1990 in spite of nearly perpetual player


to remember the great times, the wonderful accomplishments on the court, the success of so many of those former players, what they are doing now … I am always very careful not to make any judgments about those times."

Embracing the past is easier at most other schools, such as Indiana and UCLA, where the narrative, for the most part, is more family friendly. UNLV's history is associated as much with on-court dominance as with more controversial memories: from the ill-fated recruitment of Lloyd Daniels to a hot tub picture of players sitting with Richard "The Fixer" Perry to Tarkanian recruiting a valedictorian (of a penitentiary).

Rice spent 11 seasons as a UNLV assistant in the 1990s and earlier last decade. Despite the university not explicitly embracing those years, heHe called the one least likely to come.

Augmon, who in 2011 was on staff with the Denver Nuggets, was the first UNLV player in 1990 -- as it looked like the NCAA might strong-arm UNLV into ousting Tarkanian -- to publicly say he would not play for the defending national champions if Tarkanian was not permitted to coach.

And in the two decades since, Augmon divorced himself from his school. He never followed the team. He didn't care. The program may well have been dead to him. He rarely took phone calls from anyone there. The one phone call he accepted from Kruger, he said, was only because it was facilitated by Rice.

Augmon says the school needed Rice to bring back Tarkanian's coaching philosophies, to build a bridge to


the past. After some persuading, Augmon accepted the job. He told USA TODAY Sports he never would have accepted the assistant position for any man other than Rice.

"Dave," Augmon says, "was the breakthrough."

Augmon says his feelings toward UNLV have evolved. But the healing process for all endured so long that time was squandered. The program is now selling the success of those years to high school players who were not even born the last time Tarkanian watched his players direct a fast-break in this city.

"The only person hurt during that president (Robert Maxson), coach Tark situation was the university," Augmon says. "That is the only thing hurt. It hurt UNLV. The president is gone, coach Tark is gone. The university is still here trying to recover. It hastaken two decades to do it. And that's just two people, two people who could not get along, could not see eye to eye. It brought down the whole fortress."

***

What Rice and Augmon stress most to current players is that it is time for them to author their own legacy in a new age in college basketball and a new time at UNLV, which has a world-class practice facility. Though Rice is striving to make UNLV nationally significant, his recruiting has distinguished itself in both who the staff has pursued – Rice says Bennett will be in the NBA before he is a senior – and who the staff has not pursued.

During the national recruitment of Las Vegas' Shabazz Muhammad, the NCAA warned schools recruiting him that there


this journey. I fully understand his decision to not necessarily pursue Shabazz."

In his heyday, Tarkanian passed on few of the nation's best prospects. And he and others still wonder about how dominant UNLV could have become in the early 1990s had things not come tumbling down at UNLV, which was banned from the 1992 tournament and placed on probation.

"We were in really good with Jalen Rose," a wistful Tarkanian says, contemplating whether his recruiting efforts could have broken up Michigan's Fab Five.

Tarkanian has long danced between charming and controversial. But he doesn't deliver the same humorous jabs as much, like when he said recruiting rival Jim Harrick was as ethically straight as the letter 'S.' He labors when speaking.

In March, he suffered what family members called a mildheart attack. Asked about his health at UNLV's exhibition, Tarkanian says he doesn't get around much, resting his gaze on the walker in front of him.

But he loves this basketball team. He has told Rice that having him and Augmon on the bench means something. It means a lot. During the first half, Tarkanian turns his head toward the protégées who had been so loyal to him, and who are now giving history lessons to newcomers like Bennett and reconstructing a national contender with a nod to the past.

"They are doing good," Tarkanian says. "Really good."

the Counterclaim; and (5) Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Claims of Plaintiff's Amended Complaint. Plaintiff Bruce R. Baird was represented by Elizabeth T. Dunning of Watkiss, Dunning & Watkiss. Defendants Roger F. Cutler and Salt Lake City Corporation were represented by Stanley J. Preston, Richard A. Van Wagoner, and Max D. Wheeler, of Snow, Christensen & Martineau, and Frank M. Nakamura, of the Salt Lake City Attorney's Office.

BACKGROUND FACTS
Plaintiff Bruce R. Baird is a Senior Assistant City Attorney for Salt Lake City. This position is designated as a merit-level employee position. In late 1993, Baird was responsible for several legal initiatives in the City Attorney's Office, including the City's gun-control policy.
In addition to his work in the City Attorney's Office, Baird is politically activein the community as a political commentator and former candidate for elected office. On November 10, 1993, he appeared on a local television program called the Vanocur Group. The program format consisted of a discussion group which was comprised of several local political pundits, including Baird. Baird's affiliation with the City Attorney's Office was not mentioned on the program. Near the end of the program, the participants were asked to make a final comment concerning recent political events. Baird's comment focused on the recent debate between former presidential candidate Ross Perot and Vice President Al Gore on the topic of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and included this statement: "[Perot] believes that everyone is trying to assassinate him; he's still alive  too bad!"
After the Vanocur Group


program was aired, two local newspaper reporters, who author a popular column in which comments concerning current political and other events are often made, wrote that there was some irony that Baird (identified as an Assistant City Attorney) would simultaneously advocate assassination and be responsible for the City's gun-control policy. This column came to the attention of Defendant Roger Cutler, City Attorney. On December 1, 1993, Deputy City Attorney Steven Allred told Baird that Cutler was angered by Baird's controversial remarks and the media response. On December 2, 1993, three Perot supporters came to the City Attorney's Office and asked to speak with Baird. Baird met with the three supporters briefly, but refused to converse with them while at his City office about his remarks on the program.Later that same day, Cutler met with Baird (Allred was also present) and told him that he (Baird) had mistreated the Perot supporters and disrupted the office. Cutler also told Baird that he was being placed on probation pending formal disciplinary proceedings.
On December 8, 1993, Cutler sent a memorandum to Baird that reiterated Baird's probationary status and stated that disciplinary measures were being considered. In the month that followed, Cutler and Baird discussed the matter together and with Elizabeth Dunning, Baird's attorney. On January 4, 1994, Cutler sent a letter to Baird and Dunning in which Cutler stated that the probation was "advisory" at that time, and that any disciplinary decisions would be made at a later time after investigation. Cutler obtained a copy of the Vanocur Group


comments, and issued a final disciplinary memorandum on April 20, 1994. The memorandum contained private reprimands for Baird's perceived rude treatment of the Perot supporters and for his comments on the Vanocur Group program. No mention of the budgetary error incident was included in the final disciplinary memorandum. Baird was removed as counsel for the City on the gun-control matter, but he was not demoted, and his salary and benefits were not reduced.
On July 13, 1994, Baird brought the present suit against Cutler, in his individual and official capacities, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of his free speech rights under the U.S. and Utah Constitutions, violations of his due process rights under the U.S. and Utah Constitutions, violations of his rights under the Utah Protection ofthe Vanocur Group program constituted comments on a matter of public concern. Baird's speech was in reference to the Ross Perot-Al Gore debate concerning the North American Free Trade Agreement, an issue of great national significance involving persons of national importance. The comments were made on a program that exclusively engages in political debate and commentary. Although the statements may have been more calculated towards entertainment than serious political commentary, Baird's purpose or manner in speaking does not negate the nature of the speech as relating to a matter of public concern.
With respect to defendant's interest in the effective and efficient operation of government, the City Attorney's Office is wholly responsible for representing the City in its legal initiatives, and the effective functioning of the office is vital


to achievement of the City's policy goals. At the time of his comments, Baird was not an insignificant employee in the office. Rather, he was a Senior Assistant City Attorney who was responsible for several City legal campaigns, including cases involving crime-control (waiting period for gun purchases). Baird's position also gave him responsibility and authority to represent the City publicly, and to implement and enforce City policies.
This Court finds and rules that Cutler acted reasonably in his disciplinary determinations and that Cutler's disciplinary response was reasonable under First Amendment post hoc analysis. Baird's comments on the Vanocur Group program were connected with the City Attorney's Office by local newspaper reporters, and the City Attorney's Office was criticized. Cutler believed that Baird's comments would continue to be connected toset forth in Baird's amended complaint is dismissed.

IV. STATE LAW CLAIMS.

In his original complaint, Baird claims violations of his free speech and due process rights under relevant provisions of the Utah Constitution, violation of the provisions of the Utah "Whistleblower Act," Utah Code Ann. § 67-21-3, and breach of his employment contract. In his amended complaint, Baird claims violations of free speech, and due process rights, as well as violations of the Utah "Whistleblower Act" arising from alleged acts of retaliation by Cutler.
Baird's claims under the Utah Constitution are based on the same factual allegations as his claims under the United States Constitution. The free speech and due process provisions of the Utah Constitution and the United States Constitution are similarly worded. As regards free speech, the First


Amendment to the United States Constitution states, "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech ..."; and Article I, Section 15 of the Utah Constitution states, "No law shall be passed to abridge or restrain the freedom of speech ..." Concerning due process, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution guarantee that the government shall not "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ..."; and Article I, Section 7 of the Utah Constitution states that "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law." In the several cases in which *606 the Utah Supreme Court has discussed the interpretation of the aforesaid provisions of the Utah Constitution, federal case lawattorney could be terminated where her lawsuit involved the precise issues for which she was responsible in the office, and where the attorney solicited other employees to join in the lawsuit.
Similar questions of loyalty or adverse interests might arise if this were a case where Baird's current lawsuit directly involved City legal initiatives for which he was responsible and about which he held information in confidence. However, the instant case does not present such a situation. While it is true that Baird's comments on the Vanocur Group television program peripherally involved City legal initiatives concerning gun policy for which he was responsible and about which he held information in confidence,[11] the gun control policy is not the subject matter of his lawsuit. Neither has Baird solicited others to

Conway voters battle over school funds

CONWAY - Conway voters turned down an amendment to restore the proposed 2013-2014 operating budget to the one recommended by the Conway School Board at Wednesday's deliberative school session.

The $33,137,099 recommended by the Conway Municipal Budget Committee was moved to the ballot, and in April voters will have a choice to OK the budget. The defeat of the article would leave the school district with the default budget of $33,635,533.

The budget adopted in April 2012 for 2012-2013 was $32,543,306. Though the school board's budget only represented a 2.97-percent increase, the tax


Cathodic electrodeposition coating can apply a coating film onto fine portions of metal base materials with curves and bag portions, formed by fold-processing metal plates, and also plural curves such as connecting portions between metal plates. The cathodic electrodeposition coating can also form a coating film automatically and continuously, and therefore, has been widely practically applied as a method of base coating for large-size metal base materials with plural curves and bag portions such as car bodies in particular. The cathodic electrodeposition coating is performed by immersing a material to be coated into a cathodic electrodeposition coating composition as a negative electrode and applying a voltage thereto. A coating film is deposited in the process of the cathodic electrodeposition coating by an electrochemical reaction so that a componentin the electrodeposition coating composition moves to the surface of the material to be coated by cataphoresis and a cathodic electrodeposition coating film is deposited on the surface of the material to be coated. Since, the deposited coating film has an insulating property, electric resistance of the coating film increases as the deposition of the coating film progresses in the process of the cathodic electrodeposition coating and the thickness of the coating film increases. As a result, the deposition of the coating film decreases at the site and the deposition of the coating film begins alternatively at undeposited sites. In this way, the coating film deposits sequentially at undeposited sites to thereby complete the electrodeposition coating film over the entire material to be coated. The property to form

How did horses become integrated into Navajo mythology?

I've been reading a lot of Native American mythology, and I've noticed that horses play a prominent role in several stories. For example:

Looking around, she saw a great white horse with black eyes. He had a long white mane, and he pranced above the ground, not on the earth itself. She saw that the bridle was white too, and that the saddle was white. And there was a young man sitting on the horse. The young man's moccasins and leggings and clothing were all white.

(Diné Bahaneʼ. This isn't the only example of horses in Navajo or other Native American mythology.)
What surprised me is that horses are not native to North America, but were brought over by Europeans:

The disappearance of the horse


features prominently in the Navajo creation myth.

A:

They Sang for Horses first published in 1966 is devoted pretty much exclusively to this topic.
The Navajos first obtained horses in the early 1600s, and the Navajo nations didn't become part of the United States till 1848 so that gave them around 250 years in which to establish their own mythology around horses. Navajo was an unwritten language prior to the middle of the 19th century so that's a number of generations where stories passed solely by oral tradition.
The book describes how

mythological elements were  developed in such a way that the horse became a “gift of the gods,” useful not only in daily mundane life, but also in curing and  other  supernatural areas.

and in the end

I was struckfrom European traders. So it was pretty obvious to American Indian people where guns came from.
This is spoiled a bit in the case of the Navajo, in that due to their location they encountered the Spanish fairly early (1540 at the earliest).


Modulatory multiplicity in the functional repertoire of the feeding mechanism in cichlid fishes. I. Piscivores.
Among piscivorous cichlids consistent differences have been recorded between ambush and pursuit hunters with respect to electromyographic, kinematic, pressure and behavioral profiles during prey capture by high speed inertial suction. Piscivorous cichlids possess a repertoire of at least two patterns of prey capture, each of which is characterized by an extreme regularity of the kinematic, pressure, electromyographic and behavioral profiles. The nature and locomotory behavior of the prey, visually analyzed by the predator during the prestrike stalk, determine which of the two preprogrammed patterns is recruited. Agile and elusive prey invariably will elicit a preprogrammed motor output (stereotyped motor pattern) that produces the greatest suction velocities in both ambush and pursuit hunters. The greaterTEAMS aren't supposed to cross the continent and obliterate a more fancied opponent inside a final's first quarter, as Fremantle had done to Geelong the previous night. This was the football world righted.

Any prospect that North Melbourne could conjure its own travelling miracle vanished within half an hour of Andrew Swallow leading his team blinking into the Subiaco sun. This was Perth's hottest day since summer - 29 degrees at the first bounce - and the Kangaroos walked into a furnace.

The result had nothing to do with the conditions - the west has been so wintry that Nic Naitanui was pictured on the front page of the paper during the week holding a handful of hailstones he'd picked up off his front lawn - and everything to do


with a finals-ready team meeting an opponent that went miserably stale after beating Collingwood in round 21.

The Roos, the play-on junkies, were run off their feet. Andrew Embley was chased down by Andrew Swallow on the first forward thrust of the day, but all the visitors looked like catching henceforth was heat stroke.

Brad Scott rightly noted that they'd been beaten at their own game. ''Transition's been a great part of our second part of the year - very rarely have teams been able to get the ball out of our forward line and run the length of the ground as the Eagles did today.''

His players were, Scott said, ''deers in the headlights'' at times. ''It only takes one to slip out of the loop.'' He mentioned Embley,black-and-white mission ahead as any colour the Kangaroos added to a bleak palette - they were put back in their box by an opponent not prepared to concede anything. West Coast slammed on eight in the last, stretching the final margin to its most bloated all day.

The first quarter was a massacre. Jack Darling went to the first break with seven kicks, five marks and three goals from five scoring shots to his name. North had scrounged just 11 marks in total, none of them contested. They trailed the Eagles by 43 points and Darling alone by 17.

There was no breeze, yet all was blowing West Coast's way. Embley pulled a set shot from 50 metres out on the full, but when Naitanui marked the returning free kick


and handballed backwards to him, he hammered it home off one step from 60. When allowed to run hard in attack, Embley can still resemble a younger, Norm Smith medallist version of himself.

Darling kicked one from the boundary line, then got ridiculously free on a West Coast rebound, bounced three times through half forward and slotted another. Eric MacKenzie left Drew Petrie, snuck forward, marked in the pocket and kicked his first goal in his 78th game of AFL football.

Other than a burst of energy when it no longer mattered, Daniel Wells was back in the team in name only. Lindsay Thomas was rendered invisible by Sam Butler, Lachie Hansen was strangled by Darren Glass, Robbie Tarrant wasn't noticed, either before or after he was subbed out ofthe game.

Brent Harvey finished his 17th season missing a goal he would normally kick in his sleep - but to be fair he kicked three and was far from his team's worst - and being jeered off the ground after lashing out at Daniel Kerr just before the three-quarter time siren.

Todd Goldstein could not shake off his recent struggles, nor land a decisive blow in the most unfair of fights against Dean Cox and Naitanui.

Even when the latter camped deep in the forward line after another display of tap work that blended athleticism and art, Cox fed Matthew Priddis and Kerr as if intravenously.

The most pleasant of Sundays for West Coast was disturbed only by a foot injury likely to end veteran leader Beau Waters' season. Quinten Lynch's


clattering of Scott McMahon amid the first-quarter carnage is bound to attract attention at today's video review; in keeping with the tenor of the day, the Eagle's knee spearing into the back-pedalling Roos' ribs did not even draw a 50-metre penalty.

It was that sort of day for North, when the tank ran dry.

QUARTER BY QUARTER

Quarter 1 Some hard tackling and tight play in the first couple of minutes from both teams looked to set up a tight contest. North got the first score, but it was all West Coast from there. It took eight minutes for the Eagles to score a major, but then the floodgates opened. It took more than 20 minutes for the Roos to register their second behind. When defender Mackenzie marked a wobbling Naitanuifloater and scored his first goal in AFL footy, it was clear the day belonged to West Coast. Eagles by 43.

Quarter 2 North Melbourne showed more intensity at the start of the second quarter, but it could not capitalise, kicking several points before the Eagles broke away again with nice goals to Lynch and then Embley. The Roos finally registered a major when Matthew Campbell ran onto a loose ball and in to goal at the 18-minute mark. Even though the Eagles lost Beau Waters with an Achilles injury, they did not miss a beat, scoring two more goals before the Kangaroos could notch their second. Eagles by 54.

Quarter 3 North began the third quarter well, with a goal to Hansen. The Eagles responded quickly, but again the


Roos scored another, only to blow an opportunity to go back to back when Swallow missed on the run shortly after. Two quick goals to Embley looked to end North's mini comeback but the Roos persevered, ending the quarter with three unanswered goals. A miss by Gibson at 24 minutes, from 30 metres out and almost directly in front of goal, summed up the afternoon for the Roos. Eagles by 43.Quarter 4 West Coast came out in the last quarter looking to finish things quickly and would have scored in seconds had Shuey's kick been on target. It mattered little though as the Eagles kicked the next three goals before Harvey even got a look in for the Roos. His first shot missed, but he was set upduty, which could not be constitutionally imposed by State law.
This court sustained the defence then set up. It held that, by the terms of the Constitution, the power to impose duties on imports was exclusive in Congress; and that the law of Maryland was in conflict with the act of Congress on the same subject, and was therefore void.
But the defence set up in the case before us is a very different one. It is not founded on any exclusive power of Congress, nor any act of Congress in conflict with State law. It is founded on the general power to levy and collect taxes, admitted on all hands to be concurrent only with the same general power in the State governments; and upon an act of Congress


in the record, nor has anything been read to us from the statutes of the State which warrants us in saying that the laws of Massachusetts having application to this case are in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth must be
AFFIRMED.

NOTE.
The same order was made in four other cases,[] "presenting," as the Chief Justice said, "substantially the same facts and governed by the same principles."
At a later day of the term, to wit, April 30th, 1867, several other cases on this same subject, coming here in error to the Supreme Court of Iowa,[] were submitted to the court on the records *481 and briefs of Mr. Riddle, for the plaintiffs in error, and Mr. Cooley, contra.
On the following7th of May the CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court, that the cases resembled, in all essential features, cases already decided at this term, which presented the question of the constitutionality of State laws prohibiting, restraining, or taxing the business of selling liquors under the internal revenue licenses of the United States; that the brief of the learned counsel for the plaintiff in error calling upon the court to review its decisions affirming the validity of those laws, the court had done so, and was satisfied with the conclusions already announced.
The several judgments of the Supreme Court of the State of Iowa were therefore
AFFIRMED.

Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes

Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes has one of the largest concentrations of [...] petroglyphs, i.e. rock engravings in Africa. Most of these well-preserved engravings represent rhinoceros, . The site also includes six painteelephant, ostrich and giraffe, as well as drawings of human and animal footprintsd rock shelters with motifs of human figures in red ochre. The objects excavated from two sections, date from the Late Stone Age. The site forms a coherent, extensive and high-quality record of ritual practices relating to hunter-gatherer communities in this part of southern Africa over at least 2,000 years, and eloquently illustrates the links between the ritual and economic practices of hunter-gatherers.

Outstanding Universal Value

The rock art forms a coherent, extensive and high quality record ofritual practices relating to hunter-gather communities in this part of southern Africa over at least two millennia and, eloquently reflects the links between ritual and economic practices of hunter-gatherers in terms of the value of reliable water sources in nurturing communities on a seasonal basis.

Criterion (iii): The rock art engravings and paintings in Twyfelfontein form a coherent, extensive and high quality record of ritual practices relating to hunter-gather communities in this part of southern Africa over at least two millennia.

Criterion (v): The rock art reflects links between ritual and economic practices in the apparent sacred association of the land adjacent to an aquifer as a reflection of its role in nurturing hunter-gather communities over many millennia.

The integrity of the property is generally intact. The Twyfelfontein Country Lodge was


permitted by the Conservancy in 1999/2000 within the Seremonienplatz rock engraving site in the buffer zone. This has severely compromised the integrity of the rock engravings in this area.

All the rock engravings and rock paintings within the core area are without doubt the authentic work of San hunter-gatherers who lived in the region long before the influx of Damara herders and European colonists. The setting of the Twyfelfontein rock art is also authentic as other than one small engraved panel which was removed to the National Museum in Windhoek in the early part of the 20th century, no panels have been moved or re-arranged.

The core area was designated a national monument in 1948 and is now protected by the National Heritage Act 2004. A buffer zone has beenNOTE: Most venues are canceling or postponing events due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

Dave Eggers, a Ten Evenings Author

Bestselling author Dave Eggers and Yemeni-American Mokhtar Alkhanshali take the stage at the Carnegie Music Hall for the Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures series. They will discuss Eggers’ book The Monk of Mokha, the true story of Alkhanshali’s life as a 24-year-old college dropout in San Francisco who dreams of resurrecting the ancient art of Yemeni coffee. The book delves into Alkhanshali’s journey to his family’s ancestral homeland, where he braves an active war zone to bring a suitcase full of unroasted coffee back to the U.S.


handcheck, and unofficially all but the most blatant moving screens—six of the last 13 MVP awards have gone to four different point guards. In the 30 years prior, Magic Johnson and Allen Iverson were the only 1s to win the award. Eight of the 11 backcourt players in last year’s All-Star Game were point guards. These days, perimeter players with the ability to play on the ball are being moved to point, regardless of size. Just ask James Harden, who had the best season of his career as a point, although he will move back to shooting guard now that he is playing with Chris Paul.

The more meaningful distinction in today’s game is between primary and secondary ball handlers, and it’s hard for guys who play off theand to comfortably switch screens and guard bigger players. The Pistons used him to hide Reggie Jackson on defense, and he got the tougher assignment in the backcourt on most nights. Caldwell-Pope made his name with several strong showings against the Warriors, and he’s one of the only players in the NBA who can match up with both Steph Curry and Thompson. One of Golden State’s nine losses two years ago came against Detroit; last season, Curry went 3-for-8 from the field with three turnovers with KCP as his primary defender in the only meeting between the two players. A lot of teams cross-switch 2s on Curry, but few of them have the quickness and tenacity to stick with him over an entire possession and never give him


any breathing room:

Caldwell-Pope is headed into his fifth season in the league, but he’s still only 24, and like many younger players, he struggles with consistency. His individual defensive stats, courtesy of the tracking numbers at Synergy Sports, were not impressive last season: He was in the 42nd percentile leaguewide in defending the pick-and-roll, and only the 10th percentile as an isolation defender. The Pistons’ defensive rating was 6.8 points lower without him, which undoubtedly contributed to their decision to trade for Avery Bradley, an elite defender in his own right, and allow KCP to walk in the offseason.

The argument for Caldwell-Pope is that the players around him held down his defensive numbers. Even the best perimeter defender can’t carry a defense by himself; he still depends onhis four teammates understanding their responsibilities and playing on a string. Almost every player in the Detroit rotation played significantly better defense with Aron Baynes at center than they did with Andre Drummond, and KCP played 76 percent of his minutes with Drummond last season. According to the numbers at nbawowy.com, Detroit had a defensive rating of 112.1 when the two were in. In the 606 minutes KCP played without Drummond, the Pistons’ defensive rating dropped to 99.8.

Something similar may have happened on offense, where many Pistons struggled playing with Reggie Jackson, a ball-dominant point guard who was off his game after sustaining a knee injury in training camp. While Caldwell-Pope’s offensive numbers declined across the board last season, they were better when he played with Ish Smith,


senior, and he can see the floor at a high level. In 176 possessions in the pick-and-roll last season, the 22-year-old was in the 85th percentile as a playmaker. While LeVert is not an elite athlete, he knows how to take advantage of his size, getting into the cracks in the defense and finding the open man:

Good things happened for the Nets when LeVert was in: He had the best net rating (minus-2.7) of any player in Brooklyn’s rotation. After missing the first month of the season while recovering from foot surgery, LeVert’s playing time gradually increased over the course of the year. He played shooting guard next to Bojan Bogdanovic before sliding to small forward after the veteran was traded at the deadline. LeVert can play withdistricts. District health managers carry out resource allocation for health centres by giving them a bank check from their financial institution. The amount given is based on the volume of services provided to the target population. These resources reimburse the cost of drugs and supplies used for deliveries. Health centres are reimbursed up to 3600 CFA (5.5 Euro) for each uncomplicated delivery performed, and up to 14.400 CFA (22 Euro) for each dystocic labour. The main source of funding is the state budget.

Method
======

Multiple case studies were conducted between November 2010 and February 2011 in six health centres in the district of Djibo, located in the province of Soum in Burkina Faso. This district was chosen because it is part of a larger research program on the effect of


villages per health centre. Women and men were met separately so that they would feel more comfortable talking about maternal health. Focus groups were formed to include individuals who had used maternal health services during the implementation of the policy and individuals who had lived in the village for several years in order to obtain a wide range of perspectives on quality of care provided by their health centre. Community health workers were asked to gather a group of 8 to 10 women and 8 to 10 men in the villages. Men and women were gathered in the public square of the village. The selection process involved gathering participants who share common characteristics (people who live in villages, agriculture and husbandry as main economic activities) in relation todistrict of Djibo, the process of informing the population of this health policy was vertical. The information came first to the district health manager and went through health workers, the local political community and finally to the communities. The main communication channels that were used were antenatal care consultations, routine vaccinations in villages, and the radio. However, many women were still not informed of this health policy: *"We did not know that the price of deliveries has changed. Nobody came to our village to tell us that"* (women's focus group, health centre 1).

### Monitoring system

Health workers have to fill in two documents related to this policy: individual patient records and the birth registry. At the beginning of the implementation, health workers had problems completing the individual patient record.

Matt Jamison’s faith in God — and in Miracle — has been rewarded. His wife, Mary, who awakened pregnant from her coma, has resumed life with him. All Matt can do is count his blessings and keep preaching the Word.

The Murphy family, meanwhile, is still shaken by the faked disappearance of their rebellious teenager, Evie, and by the rogue operation in Miracle, conducted by Meg, the most radical member of the G.R. Hardcore skeptic John Murphy has been shaken to his coreby a series of inexplicable events, making him believe there may be miracles in Miracle after all. Erika Murphy, a physician who dabbles in magical thinking, is tough, but there’s only so much she can take. Michael, the most religious member of the family, is a faithful Christian who believes he has witnessed an actual resurrection.

Lastly, while those in Miracle struggle to find what is lost, to reconnect, and get better, Kevin Garvey, Sr., is at large in Australia. Formerly the Mapleton Chief of Police, he has been hearing voices in his head – an experience to which his son can now relate.

Rob Morrow, star of the York Theater's upcoming jukebox musical LAST DANCE, will guest star on CSI: NY. The episode, entitled "Where There's Smoke..." will air on Oct. 5th at Friday, Oct. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). In this episode, the CSIs rush to stop serial arsonist Leonard Brooks after he begins using fire against people from his dark past. Morrow (NUMB3RS) returns as arsonist Leonard Brooks. Check below for some photos from the episode!

CSI: NY, a crime drama inspired by the drama series CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, is about forensic investigators who use high-tech science to follow the evidence and solve crimes in the Big Apple. Det. Mac Taylor, a dedicated and driven crime scene investigator who believes that everything is connected and everyone has a story, isa decorated Marine who served in Desert Storm and dabbled in war photography. The job is his life; he focuses on cases until they are solved. The team includes Josephine "Jo" Danville, an experienced investigator from Washington, D.C., whose work is driven by her empathy for the victim. They work with a team of experts, including Danny Messer, an investigator with an unflappable spirit and a troubled family history, which he uses on the job as he blends his own set of hybrid ethics. Messer was personally selected to join the team by Mac, and he attempts daily to live up to that honor and responsibility. Sheldon Hawkes is the crime lab’s former coroner, a brilliant Ph.D. who transitioned to the field team. Joining them is Don Flack,


an edgy, hardcore homicide detective with a quick wit, impressive forensic insight and a long family history in law enforcement, and Lindsay Monroe Messer, a young, athletic CSI with a Midwestern work ethic who is willing to roll up her sleeves to tackle any job. Lindsay and Danny are married and have a daughter, Lucy. Rounding out the team is lab rat Adam Ross and eccentric coroner Dr. Sid Hammerback. The New York CSIs may have a different process from those in Las Vegas, but they are guided by the same steadfast determination. These skilled investigators follow the evidence as they piece together clues and eliminate doubt to ultimately crack their cases.Jasmine Bagley

Nick Clegg has opened up a new front on the EU by launching one of his strongest attacks on David Cameron's plan to use the eurozone crisis to repatriate powers to Britain.

A day after the coalition parties joined forces to denounce the Labour party for demanding a real-terms cut in the EU budget, Clegg described Cameron's plans to repatriate powers as a "false promise wrapped in a union jack".

The deputy prime minister also made clear that he is spoiling for a more immediate fight with the prime minister over plans to opt out of around 130 EU law-and-order measures and then to opt back into a smaller number. Clegg said he would hand a veto to the police and MI5 – both of which want to retain measures,such as the European arrest warrant, opposed by many Tories.

In a speech at the Chatham House thinktank in London, Clegg said he was completely at one with the prime minister over the coalition plans to negotiate a real-terms freeze in the next seven-year EU budget. The government was defeated in the Commons on Wednesday night when Eurosceptic Tories joined forces with the Labour party to demand a real-terms cut in the budget that will run from 2014-2020.

The deputy prime minister confirmed that the government would not accept an above-inflation increase in the EU budget negotiations. He also launched a strong attack on Labour, which brokered an above-inflation increase and placed the British EU rebate on the table when it led the last budget negotiations during the 2005 UK


in a report last year that while the southern border is the conduit for most of the heroin entering the United States, the drug typically comes through legal points of entry, hidden in cars or mixed in with other goods in tractor-trailers. In other words, a wall would do little to stanch the flow.

And yet, the power of the presidency is such that Trump has been able to place this issue center-stage, shut down the government, force television networks to run an error-ridden, scaremongering Oval Office address, and now perhaps invoke emergency powers. This sounds like something that would be done by Presidents Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan or Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, not the head of the world’s leading constitutional republic.

When the U.S. government has created this senseof emergency and crisis in the past, it has almost always been to frighten people, expand presidential powers and muzzle opposition. From the Alien and Sedition Acts to the Red Scare to warnings about Saddam Hussein’s arsenal, the United States has experienced periods of paranoia and foolishness. We look back on them and recognize that the problems were not nearly as grave, the enemy was not nearly as strong and the United States was actually far more secure. The actions taken — suspending civil rights, interning U.S. citizens and noncitizens of Japanese descent, taking the nation to war — were almost always terrible mistakes, often with disastrous long-term consequences.

And yet, presidential powers have kept expanding. Modern media culture has made it easier for presidents to set the agenda,

Looking further into the future, we will be able to cultivate microalgae, which produce the 100 % renewable gas known as ‘third-generation’ biomethane.

Biomethane in Europe

In Europe, the largest producer of biogas is Germany, which injects 10,000 GWh of this energy source into its supply networks from 190 production units. Then comes the UK, with 2,000 GWh of energy produced by 51 production units. Both countries benefit from attractive feed-in tariffs, and produce cultures dedicated to biogas production, which enable them to obtain the more consistent quality of raw material required to industrialize the recovery processes used for biogas and the methanation residues known as digestates.

In France, biomethane production is part of the national renewable energy development strategy. The French law of August 17,a long list of unfunded transit priorities," said Jan De Silva, the board's president and CEO, in a news release.

"The board's proposal will take the pressure off municipalities while ensuring the province has the authority to maximize its investments and get transit built."

De Silva says transit growth is slowing down when it should be speeding up in her view, something that's "concerning" for the region. Commuters, she says, deserve more than to be stuck sitting in traffic.

Those riders would also benefit from an integrated system where new lines are added

PROMYSHLENNAYA ARKHITEKTURA - "LYUBOV' I TEKHNOLOGIYA" (1988)

Original title: Любовь и технологияBand: Промышленная архитектура

Promyshlennaya Arkhitektura was the music project of Dmitry Selivanov, one of the cult figures of the Siberian underground scene. Selivanov was a charismatic singer and a self-taught guitar player. His style was technically raw but highly creative, a mix of power chords and radical improvisation.Apart from some collaborations with Yegor Letov, this is Selivanov's sole album, as he committed suicide one year after it was released. Sharp post-punk sounds, low fidelity production, toy keyboards, and a bunch of grotesque lyrics sung in the most theatrical way possible. That's all these nine songs needed.when the challenge was launched four years ago.

That's when Eli Lilly accused Canada of violating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) by not honouring drug patents. Eli Lilly launched the NAFTA challenge after Canadian judges threw out the patents on two Eli Lilly drugs — Strattera (atomoxetine) for ADHD and the antipsychotic Zyprexa (olanzapine). Those court decisions allowed generic companies to make copies of the drugs.

Gold, who had no official role in the case, said the NAFTA victory supports Canada's right to create a made-in-Canada patent regime. "The result is the opposite of what Eli Lilly wanted, and the pharmaceutical industry wanted," he told us, adding the decision suggests that countries have more freedom in developing patent law than perhaps they knew.

'We won big,' against a U.S.


pharmaceutical giant, says Richard Gold. (CBC)

"We won big," Gold said. Eli Lilly has been ordered to reimburse Canada for $4.4 million, which covers the cost of administering the arbitration and 75 per cent of Canada's legal costs..

A second look at bias in science

Stanford University researcher Daniele Fanelli started his career as an idealistic PhD student who believed in the scientific process. But as he pursued his studies in evolutionary biology, he said, the reality he witnessed was "frustrating and disappointing." So he changed direction and began studying bias and scientific misconduct.

Abstract

This article reflects on the idea of the music score as a wearable theatrical prop, an idea able both to envisage theatrical gestures as the outgrowth of music notation and epitomize the intangibility of music by means of 'ostented' dramaturgical objects. Through an exploration of Touch-less: Wearable Graphic Scores for One Acting Singer, a self-composed work, this article discusses the compositional and aesthetic processes that emerge from the combination of a graphically notated score and the idea of wearable-score-prop within the framework of new music theatre, a combination that eventually leads toward an appreciation of the score-theatre. The discussion takes into consideration relevant examples and concepts put forward by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mauricio Kagel and Sylvano Bussotti. Similarly, it proposes connections between the idea of score-prop and the aestheticdeals).

Football players with the top 10 highest estimated fair market values were worth between $345, 000 and $514,000 in 2009-2010. The top spot was held by University of Texas football players. Although 100% of those players received scholarships, leaving them living below the federal poverty line and with an average scholarship shortfall of $2,841 in 2010-2011, their coaches were paid an average of over $3.5 million each in 2010, excluding bonuses.

Basketball players with the top 10 highest estimated fair market values were worth between $620,000 and $1 million in 2009-2010. The top spot was held by Duke basketball players. Although 80% of those players received scholarships, leaving them living below the federal poverty line and with an average scholarship shortfall of $3,098 in 2010-2011, their coaches were paid


annually. Should Title IX compliance require that provisions be made for female athletes to receive a similar benefit, that amount could be doubled for a total of $94 million annually.

Colleges should be free to provide multiple-year scholarships in all sports if they so choose. The NCAA’s one-year cap on the duration of a scholarship undermines its purported educational mission and puts in jeopardy the educational opportunities for every college athlete. High school recruits deserve to know which colleges are willing to prioritize their education so that they can make an informed decision.

Brown (2011) estimated that the rents generated by the top college football players significantly exceeded the costs associated with athletic scholarships. A top college football player, defined as one drafted into the National Football League (NFL), producedthe constant presence on television and other platforms. Potential high school recruits will see the Longhorn Network in their homes and on their iPads and smart phones. Potentially, the Longhorn Network could become the nation’s first regional college sports network focusing on one school with a limited high-profile inventory.

Despite the increased media attention brought to a host institution, televising collegiate sporting events are not always profitable for everyone. For example, in 2010 the University of Pittsburgh hosted a four-team subregional in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. But Pittsburgh failed to qualify and was not among the participants. Four teams without a local draw were selected, and only 2,000 tickets were sold after the participating teams were announced. Although the amount of money that Pittsburgh lost was not made


public, an Associated Press report in 2009 stated that 11 of the 16 first- and second-round host sites lost money (Zeise, 2010).

Conference Realignment

Although the start of the 2010 college football season was overshadowed by off-field controversies involving high-profile coaches and player-related incidents, the 2011 season was equally compelling away from the gridiron in the form of conference realignment. Several marquee universities including the University of Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-12) competed in new conferences, and the number of institutions changing conferences or contemplating a change in membership snowballed as the season began. Just a month into the 2011 football season, the Atlantic Coast Conference welcomed Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh to their conference, bringing their membership to 14 institutions. Other schools were also being considered,example, although half of the television revenue was equally shared, the remaining half was distributed proportionately to the number of television appearances for football and men’s basketball. Consequently, high-profile institutions with a consistent television presence received more money than other conference members did. This revenue distribution disparity was closely aligned with the model used by several professional sport leagues. Specifically, although Major League Baseball (MLB) teams equally share revenue from national broadcast deals, local television revenues are negotiated independently and vary significantly across teams. The bidding wars among conferences to secure the most lucrative television deals will undoubtedly be an important criteria as universities become engaged in conference realignment discussions. When the Pac-12 conference negotiated a $3 billion, 12-year broadcast deal in 2011 with ESPN and Fox Sports


century, officials “were busy trying to control diseases like typhoid, cholera and smallpox,” which had much higher death rates than measles, said Graham Mooney, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University who studies the history of medicine. But as other infectious diseases declined, officials focused more intently on measles.

By the early 20th century, schools began noting which students had already had the measles, and who might be vulnerable. When a child fell ill, he might be sent home with a card to be signed by a physician before he could return. A school medical inspector often would visit the home to make sure the child remained isolated.

During an epidemic involving thousands of cases, officials placed warnings in newspapers and later on the radio, describing likely symptoms and askingbag (100) to the horn (612) was accomplished by bag ties (101)—often comprising elastic bungee cord type connectors either extending longitudinally from the bag's (100) end to the horn (612) or wrapped around its (100) mouth which overlapped the horn's (612) outlet. Nonetheless, it was also learned that the bag (100) need not be tightly fitted at the bottom but instead, permitted to hang limply there. In fact, some relief opening was found to advantageously avoid excessive fermentation pressure buildup within the bag (100). Accordingly, the horn (612), though preferably domed at the top, was often deliberately truncated in cross sectional design across the bottom.
It was observed almost from the first that as the long tunnel-like bag (100) filled, its (100) weight kept it (100) from moving along


the ground. As a result, the loading equipment and any power providing farm machinery (430) present were observed to be gradually nudged forward. The hay wagon or other source of supply likewise had to be moved a little at a time to keep up. Without more, it was also unhappily observed, the forward inching of the equipment tended to prevent good compaction of the forage (200). The solution, it was learned, was to provide a sort of braking mechanism. Yet, forward movement altogether such as provided by a true brake had to be avoided. Ultimately, a torque opposition assembly (500), usually manually operable by hand lever to resist but not stop altogether a wheel's rotation, was developed. When filling was completed, the bag itself (100), despite its (100)A viral cellphone video of a defective voting machine cast some doubt on a Republican primary for governor in Mississippi on Tuesday, sparking broader concerns about U.S. voting infrastructure ahead of 2020.

In the video, one voter, Ethan Peterson of Oxford, Mississippi, tried numerous times to press the touchscreen checkbox for Republican Bill Waller Jr., but the machine instead registered a vote for Walker's GOP primary rival, Tate Reeves. Eventually Peterson said he was able to fix the issue and vote as intended.

It was one of two instances Tuesday, confirmed by the Mississippi secretary of state, in which older touchscreen machines indicated votes for the wrong candidate.

Accounts commenting on the viral post questioned the integrity of the U.S. election system. But Peterson said he thought it was simply a

1957 – In aASHDOD, Israel — Gilbert Chikli was rolling in money, stolen from some of the world's biggest corporations.

His targets: Accenture. Disney. American Express. In less than two years, he made off with at least 6.1 million euros from France alone.

But he had a problem. He couldn't spend the money. A tangle of banking rules designed to stop con men like him stood between Chikli and his cash. He needed to find a weak link in the global financial system, a place to make his stolen money appear legitimate.

He found it in China.

"China has become a universal, international gateway for all manner of scams," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. "Because China today is a world power, because it doesn't care about neighboring countries, and because, overall,


China is flipping off other countries in a big way."

A visionary con man, Chikli realized early on — around 2000, the year before China joined the World Trade Organization — the potential that lay in the shadows of China's rise, its entrenched corruption and informal banking channels that date back over 1,000 years.

The French-Israeli man told the AP he laundered 90% of his money through China and Hong Kong, slipping it into the region's great tides of legitimate trade and finance.

Today, he is in good company.

Criminals around the world have discovered that a good way to liberate their dirty money is to send it to China, which is emerging as an international hub for money laundering, an AP investigation has found.

Gangs from Israel and Spain, North African cannabis dealers and cartels from Mexico and Colombia are among those using China as a haven where they can safely hide money, clean it, and pump it back into the global financial system, according to police officials, European and U.S. court records and intelligence documents reviewed by the AP.

China's central bank and police refused repeated requests for comment.

In a regular briefing with reporters Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the government "places great

China's underground financial systems are of rising concern to top policymakers there, who are struggling to stem massive capital flight as the economy slows. Despite strict currency controls, a record net $711 billion gushed out of China last year, not counting foreign direct investment, according to estimates by Fitch Ratings.

A lot of that money leaks out illegally. Corporations undervalue exports or overvalue importsto move capital abroad, for example. There's an official $50,000-a-year limit that forbids mainland Chinese citizens from moving money out of the country, but money changers and underground banks routinely help mainland Chinese slip cash out of the country anyway.

Global Financial Integrity, a Washington-D.C. non-profit, ranks China as the world's largest exporter of illicit money.

"Wherever I go in the world, there is a growing Chinese presence," said John Cassara, a former financial intelligence agent at the U.S. Treasury Department. "It's only natural that the Chinese are going to bring their financial systems with them — their above-board financial systems and their underground systems."

"It's completely off the radar screen," Cassara said. "No one knows about it."

The power of persuasion

Security cameras poke over the high wooden fence that encircles Chikli's


property, a sleek, three-story home in Ashdod, a port city on the Mediterranean. Beyond that, a swing set, pink-and-purple tricycle and orange ball jumble his lawn.

And then there is Chikli himself, tan and smiling at his massive front door. He was sentenced in absentia to seven years in prison by a French court last year and remains a wanted man, but here in Israel, he lives openly and talked about his criminal exploits with pride during four hours of interviews with the AP.

"It's the power of persuasion," he said. "It's not easy to turn the head of a bank president."

The first con, the one that made Chikli realize he had "the gift," began in Paris on the afternoon of July 25, 2005, with a phone call.

When Madame G., who ran a branch of La Banque Postale, picked up the phone, a man with a sure, powerful voice said he was the bank's CEO and needed her help on a top-secret terrorism investigation, French court documents show.

He dropped details about past meetings that left Madame G., whose name cannot be published due to French privacy laws, convinced of his identity. The man told her a secret agent named Paul would be


in touch.

Following instructions, Madame G. bought a burner phone to communicate with Paul.

Over the next three days, he hammered her with 43 calls.

Some of the bank's clients, Paul explained, were suspected of running money for terrorists.

Less than three weeks earlier, four suicide bombers linked to Al Qaeda blew themselves up in central London, killing 52 people and injuring 700 more. Photographs of bloody, burned commuters staggering from the London Underground were everywhere.

Paul told Madame G. he needed the names of the bank's biggest clients. He wanted her to bring him cash. He would scan the bills to see if they were stolen, then they'd meet at a bistro on Rue de la Paix and he'd return the money. She was a key player in a major anti-terrorism operation.

Hewas counting on her.

In this Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2015, photo, convicted con man Gilbert Chikli clasps his hands during an interview with the Associated Press at his house in the port city of Ashdod, Israel. Chikli is widely credited with inventing a con that has inspired a generation of copycats. Chikli's scam, called the fake president, fake CEO or business email compromise scam, has cost companies around the world $1.8 billion in just over two years, according to the FBI. Image: Tsafrir Abayov/AP

On July 28, Madame G. stuffed 358,000 euros ($398,000) in a bag and took a taxi to a cafe in eastern Paris. She walked into a stall in the restroom. She heard a woman say the secret password. Madame G. passed the cash-filled bag under the


stall. Mission accomplished.

Then she went to the bistro on Rue de la Paix and waited on the terrace. But where was Paul?

After she went to the police, investigators eventually traced the calls to Chikli. Paul was, in Chikli's telling, just one of his many stage names. The woman who took the cash in the bathroom was Chikli's mistress. Chikli's brother, Simon, drove the getaway car, according to French court documents.

But if Chikli wanted to get more money than would fit in a sack, he had to take his criminal ambitions global.

Banks are supposed to know their customers — not just their identities, but also where their money comes from. To scale up his fraud, Chikli needed a way around international anti-money laundering norms.

He had a number of optionsfor cleaning his cash. Chikli called HSBC and tricked an employee into sending money to one of his Hong Kong front companies, which bounced it to a guy in Fujian province, who told investigators that he often used his bank account to launder money for Israelis, in exchange for a 5 percent commission. Police traced tens of thousands in transfers from Chikli front companies to Bank of China accounts.

The Bank of China refused to comment.

Inside a money laundering scheme: how he did it

But Chikli's preferred method, which he described for the first time in detail to the AP, was to use import-export schemes.

Such trade-based money laundering is a growing concern for U.S. authorities. Mexican and Colombian drug cartels laundered more than $5 billion in drug proceeds in part


by exporting counterfeit goods from China, according to a U.S. Justice Department indictment against three Colombians based in Guangzhou.

Chikli ordered companies to send money to bank accounts around the world — often, he said, in Eastern Europe. Then, he'd bounce the funds to Hong Kong and China and arrange for them to be withdrawn in cash.

The money was used to purchase merchandise — shoes, gold, steel, textiles — in China.

For a commission, the Chinese vendor then issued highly inflated receipts to Chikli's shell companies, creating a "legal" paper trail. Typically,Chikli said, he'd actually buy some goods, while forwarding most of his cash to another account he controlled. He might purchase, say, 20 tons of steel, but bribe the vendor to give him a receipt for 100 tons.

Chikli sold the goods and then sent the money to Israel, where false invoices made the entire sum look like legitimate trading profits, he said.

"Everything is clean," he said. "Give me the documents and everything is fine."

Digital innovation? Nah, telephones

Chikli used to run a clothing company in Sentier, a late 18th-century Paris neighborhood built atop a medieval slum. Sentier was once a neighborhood for strivers — first Jews from Eastern Europe and North Africa, then Chinese who moved into the wholesale textile trade. Chikli forged the idea for his scam on


these streets.

The tools of his trade are simple: telephones. Chikli called the company that runs Disneyland Paris, pretending to be the CEO.

He called French technology conglomerate Thomson SA and persuaded an employee to transfer millions to accounts in Russia, Switzerland and England.

He called Barclays, Galeries Lafayette, American Express.

Eventually, French authorities caught up with him and put him on trial for dozens of attempted frauds, many thwarted only at the last moment.

In 2009, Chikli posted 30,000 euros ($33,500) bail. His passport was confiscated and he was ordered to remain in France to stand trial. Instead, he chartered a private plane, he claims, and fled to Israel.

A French court found him guilty last May of defrauding La Banque Postale, LCL bank and HSBC, along with Thomson and Accenture, out of 6.1 million euros, and attempting to extract over 70 million euros from at least 33 others. But by then, he was living by the sea in Ashdod in Israel.

It was, perhaps, his most masterful con of all.

A free man, outside Paris

Israeli authorities would not say whether France had


to European intelligence documents reviewed by the AP.

The U.S. State Department, in a report this month, reproached China for lackluster performance on money-laundering investigations.

"China has not cooperated sufficiently on financial investigations and does not provide adequate responses to requests for financial investigation information," the State Department wrote.

Jay Bienkowski, an FBI supervisory special agent in Washington who has retired since speaking to the AP, said extradition is crucial for apprehending criminals across borders.system of fei qian (FAY ch'ien), or "flying money."

Chinese immigrants first give their cash to a trusted member of the local Chinese community in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium or Germany and indicate where their money should be remitted. That Chinese intermediary — the bagman — provides the Israeli contacts with the relevant bank account information. The Israelis then direct their stolen money to those accounts in China. Once the Chinese confirm the money has landed in the correct account, the bagman hands over their cash, in euros, to the Israelis.

The Israelis get euros in Europe, the Chinese get yuan in China. "It works like an offsetting operation between (the) Chinese community and crooks in Israel," according to the intelligence documents, which note that the Israelis usually charge a


2.5 percent fee.

France's financial crimes squad in June busted a similar money transfer network in a Chinese wholesale district in Aubervilliers, in the suburbs of Paris, where Chinese merchants are accused of laundering money for North African drug dealers.

While Chikli's copycats may have tapped into flying money networks, Chikli said he never used them himself. He claimed that many of the people running scams today are French Jews who have fled anti-Semitism in Franceconvicted, then I needed to indirectly become an official banker."

As a scrappy 8-year-old, Chikli stole notebooks from school and resold them to his classmates.

He later got into credit card fraud. "We would go shopping," he said. "It was pretty nice because we felt like we were the owners of something, which we were not."

He studied acting. Worked in advertising and real estate. But his true vocation was persuasion.

"The brain is the world's most dangerous weapon," Chikli said. "I learned not to control but to try to make someone believe that I was right. And from that moment, all the doors opened."

Vous" – released in English as "Thank You for Calling" – is based on the exploits of the French-Israeli con man Gilbert Chikli, who engineered rogue payments by phoning companies and pretending to be the firm's CEO or a French intelligence agent. Image: Jacques Brinon/AP

Chikli calls this "the gift." With it, extracting millions from some of the world's best educated and most privileged can be a matter of a single phone call. "It can last two hours. It can last four hours. It can last five minutes," he said. "It's cinema."

Chikli maintains that his real accomplices were the employees who took his calls and complied with his demands. He threatened them. He bullied them. He seduced them.

He said he made amends to about 30 people who executed hisorders — some of whom lost their jobs — by sending credit cards linked to offshore bank accounts with about 50,000 euros ($55,800) each.

"Everyone took — everyone. There was not one who refused," he claimed. He said he gave one bank manager 18 roses. "She was pulverized," he said. "If I remember correctly, we sent her 180,000 euros. That's how we wanted to apologize."

Chikli would provide no evidence to support his claims.

Today, Chikli has himself amassed many trappings of a banker's life: White baby grand piano. Glass elevator. Fendi bedboard. A glam wife 19 years his junior tattooed with "Gilbert" in curling letters next to a heart on her slim wrist.

"I have six children," he said. "I take my kids to school. I am home at 8 p.m.


every night. Sincerely, I am the most simple man in the world."

"When an obstacle is set up at the center of the exit," Yanagisawa says, "it makes pedestrians detour and slows down the evacuation." An obstacle placed to one side, on the other hand, "decreases the probability and the impact of conflicts without making pedestrians detour a lot," he explains.

Andreas Schadschneider, a professor at the University of Cologne's Institute of Theoretical Physics in Germany who has studied pedestrian and traffic flows, says that the obstacle effect has popped up occasionally in the literature for several years.

Stanford calls on Hernandez but Bears have other plans

Published 4:00 am, Friday, February 10, 2006

During its five-game winning streak, Stanford had been finding ways to turn games around in the final moments.

They had another chance Thursday night, but Cal evidently has been paying attention. The Bears weren't about to allow any miracles at Haas Pavilion and held on for a 65-62 victory.

What had been an 11-point Cal lead was reduced to one with 16 seconds left after Matt Haryasz, whose playing status was not determined until late Thursday afternoon, hit a 3-pointer to make the score 63-62.

Ayinde Ubaka's two free throws four seconds later boosted the Bears' lead back to three, a situation Stanford had been in before. Chris Hernandez once again was entrusted with Stanford's fate, butBears. Kurt Rogers BERKELEY SFC

"I was trying to get a 3 up, but they were double-teaming me, triple-teaming me," Hernandez said. "Then I thought I saw Matt (Haryasz) and tried to make a play to him, but I lost the ball."

The fact that Haryasz was on the court at the time was something of a surprise. After being poked in the eye Saturday at Oregon State, the Cardinal center was experiencing vision problems all week. His eye was still discolored and blood shot on Thursday.

One problem was the change in his vision as the injury healed. He was fitted with corrective goggles, which were soon obsolete and had to be replaced
