Abu Jahl did not kill anyone on the account of being Muslim. The story of Sumayya being killed by Abu Jahl can not be confirmed through authentic sources. But this Abu Jahl was killed in the battle of Badr which was a pure offensive onslaught perpetrated by Muhammad after he raiding one of the Quraish caravans. Uqba had been taken as a captive and later killed on the order of Muhammad.

And of Muslims winning Mecca, Surah Al-Nasr was revealed in connection to this incident. It mentions people entering in Islam in groups. There was none other one Abu Sufyan left for Muhammad to bribe or kill at that time. And of Meccan Fatah, it is beyond the scope of this discussion.

The United States is expecting a thaw in recent tensions with Turkey, a spokesperson for the State Department said late Thursday.

Heather Nauert also said that Wednesday's phone call between Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and his U.S. counterpart Rex Tillerson included the arrest of American pastor Andrew Brunson, who is under arrest in İzmir on charges linked to Gülenist terror group (FETÖ).

Nauert went on to say that the United States expects Turkey to "fulfill promise of enabling access to lawyers" for Metin Topuz, a communications employee for the US' Istanbul Consulate-General, who has recently been arrested for FETÖ links.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ said in an interview with broadcaster Habertürk earlier on the same day that Topuz has


not demanded access to a lawyer or to see his family.

Turkish national Topuz, confirmed by the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul as a local employee, was remanded to custody over terrorism charges by an Istanbul court last week. Topuz is suspected of having links to FETÖ, which is behind last year's defeated coup attempt, according to a judicial source. Ankara says FETÖ and its U.S.-based leader, Fetullah Gülen, orchestrated the attempted coup, which killed 250 people and injured nearly 2,200.

"The suspect had phone contact with 121 people investigated for links to FETÖ and contacted people using ByLock hundreds of times," one section of the indictment against Topuz, reported by Anadolu Agency (AA), claims, referring to the encrypted messaging app used by the terrorist group.

HMS Egmont (1810)

HMS Egmont was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 7 March 1810 at Northfleet.

In January 1819, the London Gazette reported that Parliament had voted a grant to all those who had served under the command of Lord Viscount Keith in 1812, between 1812 and 1814, and in the Gironde. Egmont was listed among the vessels that had served under Keith in the Gironde.

She was converted to serve as a storeship in 1862, and was sold out of the Navy in 1875.

The natural history programme is currently available on Netflix but will be withdrawn within 24 hours while the corporation conducts an “editorial review”.

It is the second Human Planet fakery story this month. It emerged that film-makers had staged scenes of a rainforest tribe supposedly living in a treehouse 140 feet from the ground.

that led

to his indictment. In his motion, he argued there was no reasonable, articulable

suspicion to justify the initial stop, that the judge who issued a search warrant

after the stop failed to exercise his independent judgment before approving it,

and the affidavit supporting the search warrant contained statements that were

willfully false or in reckless disregard for the truth. The motion judge granted

a testimonial hearing regarding the lawfulness of the stop, as well as a Franks2

hearing regarding the validity of the search warrant.

      Officer Timothy Cullen, a veteran police officer with fifteen years of

experience, was the only witness to testify at the court-ordered hearings. He

affirmed that on February 17, 2017, while assigned to the Bergen County

particular Pennsylvania license plate had crossed the George Washington Bridge

southbound from New York into New Jersey at approximately 2:38 a.m. The

vehicle was registered to Norma Ivette Diaz Natal. Officer Cullen recalled being

involved in two prior narcotics cases involving Natal in which cars registered to

her contained hidden trap compartments, and in one instance, a kilo of cocaine.

He suspected the Subaru might contain a hidden compartment and set up

surveillance with fellow officers near the George


key ignition, and an aftermarket alarm fob

inside the vehicle. Based on his experience, Officer Cullen testified that all of

these seemingly innocuous items are affiliated with drug trafficking.           As

defendant reached across his passenger to hand the officer his documents,

Officer Cullen saw defendant's "hand was shaking considerably." Defendant's

documents showed he lived in an area of the Bronx which the officer knew to

be a "well-documented high drug trafficking hub."

      Defendant first told Officer Cullen the Subaru belonged to him, but then

stated it belonged to his girlfriend's sister. He then advised the car belonged to

his girlfriend's mother.    Defendant also provided inaccurate or incomplete

information about where the car was registered and the address where hewas executed, the police

discovered a handgun and a clear plastic bag containing a white powdery

substance in a hidden compartment.          Testing confirmed the substance was

cocaine.

      During defendant's suppression hearing, the State played a motor vehicle

recording (MVR) of the stop. It was admitted into evidence without objection.

When Officer Cullen's testimony concluded, defense counsel, including

defendant's attorney provided closing arguments, as did the State.           Upon

completion of the State's closing argument, defendant's attorney inquired of the

motion judge, "may I just say one more thing?" Defendant's counsel then

referred to the MVR footage of the canine sniff and stated:

      Initially, defendant urges us to reverse the suppression ruling, claiming

the canine sniff unlawfully extended beyond the exterior of the Subaru. He

maintains the dog's handler opened the driver's door, as well as the front

passenger door. The State disagrees that reversal is necessary, arguing the

opening of a car door during the canine sniff "was not the direct or indirect cause

It's easy to tell the difference between the monster that lurks beneath Loch Ness in Scotland and the one that was briefly sighted Sunday in Vallejo's Lake Chabot.

The Vallejo creature wore mascara.

For about an hour Sunday, the lake bounded by Dan Foley Park and Six Flags Discover Kingdom hosted the latest project of Vallejo art car factory Obtanium Works: a foam replica of the so-called Loch Ness Monster.

"This might not be a real monster," said Shannon Lacy, who watched from the fishing dock as the green monstrosity bobbed on the lake surface.

The artists of Obtanium Works, known for creating their fantastical art cars that have become a staple at both Burning Man and Vallejo events like the Mad Hatter Parade,


spent months developing the early April Fools prank.

They even put together a two-page faux history of "The Lake Chabot" creature, which can be traced back to the Spanish Mission era and to the modern day investigation of the "Traveling Academy of Unnatural Sciences -- Cryptozoology Division."

Like the Scottish monster affectionately known to locals there as "Nessie," the Lake Chabot monster also has a name.

"We call her Cecil the Sea Monster," Kathy O'Hare said, as guests at Discovery Kingdom whipped out their phones to photograph the spectacle.

Christmas Lists, Teddy Bears, and Miracles Have What in Common? Joseph Ratzinger … Recent Pilgrimage Retraces His Life From Birth to Present

By: Deborah Castellano Lubov

Ever wanted to have a better idea about what teddy bears, Christmas lists, and miracles meant to young Joseph Ratzinger? And if not before, are you curious now?

Special moments in the early life of Pope Benedict were the discoveries to find on an ‘Inside the Vatican’-run pilgrimage this summer that retraced the life of Benedict XVI throughout Bavaria and Rome, guided by well-known historian Michael Hesemann, the co-author with Georg Ratzinger of “My Brother, the Pope.”

Some of the meaningful places this intimate spiritual pilgrimage included were: the charming little town of Marktl am Inn, where little Joseph


Ratzinger was born; Tittmoning, where he spent early years through about kindergarten; Freising, where he attended minor seminary and was ordained a priest 65 years ago; Traunstein, where he celebrated his first Holy Mass as priest; Munich, where he served as archbishop; Regensburg, where he taught; and Pentling, where he had designed a home where he believed he would eventually retire.

The group had priviledged moments they never could have expected, including a private encounter with Pope Benedict’s brother, Georg, in his home in Regensburg, and meeting the third priest ordained with the Ratzinger brothers, Rupert Berger, in his home in Traunstein.

An irony, that hit those participating, was how Joseph Ratzinger, for a long time, was just “the little brother of the famous choir leader, Georg Ratzinger.” When allthree were ordained, the famous one was Father Berger, since he was the mayor’s son.

Until Joseph became cardinal and was called to Rome, even as archbishop of Munich and Freising, he still stood “in the shadow” of his world-famous brother.

Miracles

Do you know where Pope Benedict’s favorite image of the Madonna is? The answer: in a Marian shrine, known as a place of miracles in the charming-beyond-words town of Altoetting where the Ratzinger family, including little Joseph, and his siblings Georg and Maria, would visit at least once a year.

In this place in 1489, two little boys who had been killed, one in a farm accident and another drowning, had been brought back to life after they were brought before the beautiful image of the Virgin Mary of Altoetting.

In


fact, today, this place leaves an impression due to all the trinkets (ex-voto) left on the walls outside the shrine as signs of gratitude for miracles that occurred through Mary’s intercession. (Lighting candles is the gesture one does for obtaining miracles, while an ex-voto represents a sign of a miracle received.) Throughout and surrouding this shrine, there is not actually enough space on the walls to accommodate all the tributes. The wealthy gave items of silver to show their thanks, whereas the less well off and even very poor people, often drew little pictures to show their gratitude. One sees pictures of hospital beds, or even body parts to reflect recovery of the ill, as well as pictures of babies – even photographs from a few months agoChildhood

Tittmoning, a small town on the Salzach River, on the Austrian border, where the Ratzinger family lived from 1929-1932, (until about the time that Joseph entered kindergarten), is the place Benedict described as the ‘Wonderland of His Childhood.’ Before going to school, he would stop and pray in church. Here, he began to appreciate the Mass more and more, especially as he observed his older brother serve and his parents sing in the choir.

Also, in this town, where young Joseph began to fall in love with the liturgy, is a Marian Shrine, where he, with his mother and siblings, daily used to go to pray the rosary. We pilgrims braved the steep way up, but it was more than worth it. On the way back, we passed the


rapids of a small river running downhill through a forest, giving shade in the summer.

We also visited Auschau am Inn, at the foot of the Alps, where the family had to relocate in 1932, due to Mr Ratzinger’s outspoken criticism of Nazism. Benedict’s family, especially his father, a policeman, always did everything they could to resist the Nazis and keep the family as distant from them as possible. Even this move to Auschau was done so that if soon there would be war, the family could have a home that supplied them with natural resources and food to live on.

In this home, Joseph was often found in solitude reading, his passion, and was a regular reader of “Der gerade Weg”, the most outspoken Catholic Anti-Nazi publication. After Hitlerrose to power, its editor, Fritz Michael Gerlach, was arrested and died in the Dachau concentration camp as a martyr; his beatification process started in 2009. Mr Ratzinger always said no to any Nazi offers. The only thing he allowed was his wife to be part of a women’s group which prayed the rosary.

Young Priesthood….

The priests on the pilgrimage had a beautiful moment concelebrating Mass in the Church in Traunstein where Benedict celebrated his first Mass, after having been ordained in Freising.

It was an interesting story how we came to have this Special Mass on Sunday. While in Rome, during the Mass of Saints Peter and Paul, Robert Moynihan and Deborah Tomlinson of Inside the Vatican found themselves—completely by chance–seated next to the pastor of the parish in


relationship with his sister, Maria, who was at times like an assistant to him, not to mention also housekeeper and personal secretary. Despite being an accomplished professional, she was happy to instead dedicate her time to performing many tasks that would have taken away from his scholarly endeavors.

The small group participating also looked at the richness of the works and discourses of Ratzinger and later Pope Benedict, through interactive discussions led by Robert Moynihan, Vatican expert and Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Inside the Vatican magazine, to enrich their understanding of the Pope Emeritus.

Welcoming the unexpected

Those participating also enjoyed various other memorable Bavarian Moments, along with time for free exploration, eating well, and time of reflection. For instance, we visited the Weltenburg Monastery, on the beautiful Danube River, whichbrewed the first Bavarian beer a thousand years ago–and still continues the operation–and which served as a retreat for Professor Joseph Ratzinger and his doctoral students during the years when he was a professor in Regensburg.

There was also a very moving visit to Augsburg to see Mary, Untier of Knots, who is so important to Pope Francis that he has made sure she is in Santa Marta, as well as a fun stop at Neuschwanstein Castle, which was the inspiration for the castle in Disneyland.

All in all, this journey, retracing Joseph Ratzinger’s footsteps, and meeting many of those involved in Ratzinger’s journey from the past through the present, between Rome and Bavaria, has left—as the pilgrims all expressed—an impact for them, they will never forget….

Speaking to The New American after his presentation, Soon said the vicious attacks against his character and family by global-warming alarmists had only motivated him to work harder. Rather than launching personal attacks, he said, critics should instead focus on the data and his conclusions published in the peer-reviewed literature.

showed, noting that the most productive area of the ocean, the Humboldt Current, is also the most “acidic.” “CO2 is fertilizing the oceans just like it is greening the Earth,” he said. In an interview with The New American after his presentation, Moore also identified the real agenda behind the UN climate summit: bringing down industrial civilization. If successful, he said, the lives of countless human beings will be lost as a result.

Dr. Christopher Essex, associated chair in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario, also spoke at the summit, taking on various myths about the “climate” that are being peddled by politicians and “journalists” who he said have no clue what they are talking about. Trying to explain the unfathomably complex nature ofUN summit succeeds in its goals, though, millions of people will die, he said. In an interview later with The New American, Monckton said the real agenda was to create a communist-fascist-style global government that would end self-government, prosperity, the middle class, and liberty. Another expert who spoke on the panel, Dr. Wolfgang Mueller with the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE), also explained that what the developing world needs is not “climate reparations” or CO2 controls, but affordable energy.

Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the Senate Environment Committee, appeared at the summit via video link to provide encouragement to the realists. Noting that Americans are catching on to the climate-alarmism hoax, Senator Inhofe vowed that Congress and the American people would scuttle any pseudo-treaties negotiated by


the NIPCC report, in which scientists examined the peer-reviewed science and came to dramatically different conclusions from the UN IPCC. Heartland speakers noted that they often invite alarmist scientists to debate realists, but instead, the alarmist movement prefers to pretend that the “science is settled” rather than address the major holes in their theory. And at the latest summit, that was about as evident as it could be. Still, virtually everybody at the conference expressed hope that, eventually, truth and facts would prevail.

About The Author

Donna Herman is a native New Yorker and a self-confessed theater addict. It all started in her childhood, which was spent on movie and television sets and in dark empty theaters while her mother, an actress, and her father, a make-up artist and playwright/screenwriter, worked. She knew she wanted to be an actress at 4 years old while on location with her father who was working on the movie “West Side Story.” They were filming the “Officer Krupke” number on the street and Donna was inside the police barricades being helpful and pressing the lever


on the coffee urn for the crew. Meanwhile, the kids from the neighborhood were pressed against the sawhorses looking in. She knew then she always wanted to be on the inside. But it wasn’t until her 8th birthday when she saw her first Broadway show, “My Fair Lady,” that she fell prey to her addiction.
Donna went on to act throughout her school career and attended Boston University’s School of Fine Arts Theater Program where she studied Acting and Directing. After graduation, she returned to NYC and began the life of a struggling actress. She was fortunate enough to originate the role of Chang in John Jesurun’s downtown cult serial classic play “Chang In A Void Moon” which performed a new episode at The Pyramid Club on Avenue Aevery Monday night for almost a year in the 80’s. Many downtown notables were in the cast including Steve Buscemi, Black-Eyed Susan, David Cale, Greg Mehrten, and Anna Kohler.
While pursuing acting, Donna made money by working in recording studios and eventually got hired full time to manage Spyro Gyra’s new recording studio when Julian Lennon was recording his first album there. From there she became the Production Coordinator on the film of his concert tour for his production company. This led her to a job with the award winning audio post production facility where she stayed for 12 years and was the Controller. From there she went to Charlex, Inc. an award winning special effects and design company for the advertising industry, where she was the CFO and


stayed for 17 years.
But her love for the theater has never waned and living in New York, she has always been able to indulge it. She has even been called to revise her role as Chang occasionally over the years, the latest for episodes 59 to 61 in 2015. She is now looking to get back to a more creative life and reviewing theater and designing jewelry.well as the ever-present State vs. Fed battles over marijuana production and distribution, Angelenos themselves are at odds with one another over the issue. In May, voters approved Proposition D, a city ordinance that would limit the number of dispensaries in LA to 134, all of which were in operation prior to 2007. The proposition is to be challenged by pot shops. The 134 cap is a sharp reduction from the 2010 limit of 186 dispensaries in the city and only a fraction of the number of pot shops thought to operate openly and clandestinely throughout the City of Angels. The figures just don’t add up. Los Angeles officials have said more than 750 pot collectives have registered with the city and a couple hundred more could exist.

Local Music Legend Celebrates 42 Years of Business in Montpelier

by Ashley Witzenberger, executive director of Montpelier Alive

Fred Wilber. Photo by Patty Morgan.

Montpelier enjoys a unique and historic downtown, very much in part because of stores such as Buch Spieler Music. In 1973, Fred Wilber, who at that time was a senior at Goddard College, and his best friend from high school, George Martin, opened Buch Spieler in a single store front on Langdon Street with an initial investment of $3,000. Wilber is a counter-culturist at heart with a passion for music that has taken him, and his dream, through many twists and turns.

Wilber’s affection for his store is apparent when he recalls the early days of sleeping in the back of the store, building the fixtures and recordracks that still line the walls today, and when he reflects on the loyal customers and characters he has met over four decades.

These 42 years have brought many changes, including two expansions. Although reluctant at times to accept the changes that have taken place in the music industry, Wilber has weathered it all. After opening the store with vinyl records and smoking accessories, he bought out his founding partner after just one year. A few years later, Buch Spieler added musical instruments, keyboards, and amplifiers — mostly to feed Wilber’s love of being a musician. Wilber’s brother, Dennis, became a silent partner in 1976.

More years passed and, unenthusiastically, Wilber brought in cassette tapes, and then rode the wave of compact discs, better known as CDs, but the vinyl


records never went away. In 2004, there was a decline in CD sales and the store returned to its roots, vinyl records. The tipping point for Wilber, and for the music industry, were the more recent advances in technology: streaming, downloading and the introduction of iTunes. These have forever changed the way music is marketed.

Today, in addition to vinyl records, Buch Spieler Music carries more pre-owned audio equipment, headphones, audio accessories, and posters. It offers sound system rentals, and Wilber provides DJ services. The store also sells a line of greeting cards; “Cards in my store are wild, weird, wacky, wicked, witty, and just plain funny. No Hallmark here,” Wilber said. Buch Spieler also hosts in-store live musical performances (once again, Wilber built the stage and installed theatricalDr. Sin Hang Lee Challenges Medical and Scientific Community

According to Dr. Lee, during 2011/12, when he tried to publish papers describing HPV DNA fragments he had discovered in Gardasil 4, his first paper was rejected by three medical journal editors despite the fact that the manufacturer had assured health authorities worldwide no such fragments were in the final product.

(CNSNews.com) - Following Thursday's report of manufacturing weakness, the Obama administration on Friday released the August employment numbers, showing little or no improvement from the prior month.

94,391,000 Americans were not in the labor force in August, 58,000 more than July's 94,333,000; and the labor force participation rate was stuck at 62.8 percent, just where it was in July, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on

In August, the nation’s civilian noninstitutionalized population, consisting of all people 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution, reached 253,854,000. Of those, 159,463,000 participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking one.

The 159,463,000 who participated in the labor force equaled 62.8 percent of the 253,854,000 civilian noninstitutionalized population.

A report released Thursday said U.S. manufacturing contracted last month for the first time since February, as new orders and output plummeted and factories cut jobs.

The Institute for Supply Management said Thursday that its manufacturing index dropped to 49.4 in August from 52.6 in1931

the ensuing year, Jonne and Steve fell in love and talked of marriage.
In September 1967. Jonne moved from Reno to Portland, Oregon, for the purpose of marrying Steve who had moved there a month earlier. The marriage plans, however, for various unspecific reasons, did not materialize. *456 Instead, Jonne and Steve embarked on a period of nonmarital cohabitation which lasted 12 years.
The couple initially rented a house in Portland. Steve worked as a civil engineer. Jonne found a job as a receptionist. The parties' earnings were placed in joint bank accounts. The two filed a joint federal income tax return as a married couple in 1967.
In September 1968 the couple moved to Eugene, Oregon, because of Steve's job and purchased their first home. The decision to purchase theproperty was made jointly. The parties intended the acquisition to be both a home and an investment. Title was taken in Steve's name only. Nevertheless, the downpayment on the property came from the parties' joint savings account and, according to Jonne's later testimony, it was her understanding that she and Steve owned the property together.
Jonne secured another office position in Eugene. And in December 1969 the couple had the first of three children that were to be born to them.
The Eugene, Oregon, move and purchase began a string of moves and realty acquisitions for the pair over the next 11 years. Between 1968 and 1979, the two acquired a total of fourteen properties, most of which were purchased purely for investment purposes. Eleven of the fourteen properties were


located in California where the couple eventually settled. Purchase of the properties was again made by joint decision of the parties. Down payments for these purchases came from the couple's joint savings account and/or loans from Jonne's parents. Jonne and Steve acquired title to seven of the properties as husband and wife or as married persons. With three of the properties, they acquired joint title without designation as to marital status.
Jonne, who continued to work off and on during this period, contributed her earnings toward these realty purchases. Additionally, she collected the rents, paid the bills and kept the books for all the rental properties. She also helped to repair and fix up the properties. She later testified that she viewed the properties as "our houses." She said:deeds "for all of the houses." She said she did so under duress. She testified that Steve made various threats of what he would do to her if she did not sign. "Steve told me that I would never get any property. He would see me dead before I got any of them." Jonne said she was afraid for her own safety and so she "just signed [the deeds] to get out." Jonne received no payment for signing the deeds.

II
On October 14, 1980, Jonne filed her second amended complaint against Steve. The first cause of action alleged that Steve was the father of Jonne's three minor children, and sought child support and attorney fees. The second and third causes of action alleged that Jonne and Steve lived together


as husband and wife for a 12-year period although they were not married. During this period the parties had three children and jointly accumulated substantial property, including 10 parcels of real property. (At trial, it was determined that the parties actually had 11 properties at the time of separation; 3 other properties had been sold prior to separation.) According to the complaint, the parties impliedly agreed to equally share the property acquired during the course of their relationship. The second cause of action also alleged that Steve had coerced Jonne into signing quitclaim deeds to the real property. The complaint sought to set aside the quitclaim deeds and to equally divide the property.
In a fourth cause of action, Jonne alleged that Steve had recently committed an assault andand battery) and fifth (injunctive relief) causes of action.
On March 4, 1982, trial of the first, second and third causes of action commenced without jury. All of the issues concerning paternity, child support and child visitation were settled by stipulation, including an acknowledgment by Steve that he was the father of all three children. After hearing the evidence, the court, on March 31, rendered judgment for Jonne on the property issues. The court declared that Jonne was entitled to an undivided one-half interest in the parties' property, quieted title to the real property in both of the parties, and set aside the quitclaim deeds. The trial court denied Steve's request for a statement of decision as untimely under Code of Civil Procedure section 632. By stipulation, the court


reserved jurisdiction to divide the property. In a stipulated order filed on May 25, 1982, the parties equally divided the property. The stipulation was made without prejudice to Steve's right to appeal from the judgment.
On June 16, 1982, Steve filed a notice of appeal from both the March 31, 1982, judgment and the stipulated order of May 25, 1982. On August 10, 1982, this court dismissed the appeal from the stipulated order of May 25, 1982.
On July 9, 1982, trial of the bifurcated fourth and fifth causes of action was held. Judgment was rendered again in favor of Jonne and included $15,000 in compensatory damages, plus $4,000 for punitive damages. This judgment is not the subject of an appeal.

III
(1a), (2a) In her complaint, Jonne, in essence, alleges anand respondent integrally contemplated that the parties would provide sexual services to each other." We find no merit in Steve's contention.
In Marvin, a woman brought an action against a man with whom she had lived for approximately six years, in which she alleged that she and defendant entered into an oral agreement that during the time they lived together they would combine their efforts and earnings and share equally the property accumulated through their individual or combined efforts, and that plaintiff would render services to defendant as companion, housemaker, housekeeper and cook, give up her career as an entertainer and singer, and that defendant would provide for all her financial support for the rest of her life. Plaintiff further alleged that at the end of the six-year period,


get out."
Evidence that tended to corroborate her claim of duress included testimony to the effect that Steve had been violent during the time the couple lived together. Jonne testified that sometimes during an argument, Steve "would just fly off the handle and hit me or knock me down." She related one incident in which Steve allegedly shot a gun that fired over her head and into a wall. Steve himself admitted that on at least one occasion, he struck Jonne with a closed hand. Other corroborating evidence included evidence that subsequent to the filing of the underlying complaint, Steve had gone to Jonne's house and beaten her up and broken her arm. In view of this evidence, the trial court, as part of its judgment, ordered the above1979 quitclaim deeds at trial, appellant introduced evidence of another deed as well which antedated the December deeds by over a year. This deed, dated May 23, 1978, and allegedly signed by Jonne, also purportedly relinquished all of her interest in the subject properties.
Upon being confronted with this evidence, Jonne testified that she had not seen the document before and had not signed it. In contradiction to this, Steve testified that he had seen Jonne sign the deed. In finding in favor of Jonne, the trial court impliedly found Jonne's testimony more credible than Steve's and the May 1978 deed invalid.
Appellant maintains that the trial court's finding is, as a matter of law, erroneous since Jonne failed to produce any evidence of fraud or duress *466 relative to


hearing on October 29, 1982. At that hearing, it was determined that Steve had left his job voluntarily. The matter, however, was continued to January 28, 1983, to allow Steve the opportunity to demonstrate good faith. At the January hearing, finding that Steve had failed to make any support payments in the interim, the court granted Jonne's motion and issued an order appointing a receiver for the subject properties. Steve appeals from this order appointing a receiver.
Steve contends that the trial court abused its discretion in granting this motion. The abuse, he says, stems from the fact that there was no showing that he was "secreting or wasting his assets"; Jonne was "wealthy" in her own right and could adequately provide for the children; and Jonne had failedthe record amply supports the trial court's determination that the appointment was necessary for this purpose.
The record reflects an ongoing attempt by Steve to thwart the judicial process in this case. The more serious examples are his coercion of Jonne to sign the quitclaim deeds and his criminal assault of her following the filing of the instant complaint. Steve's resignation of his job appears to be one more contemptuous act on his part. Steve admits voluntarily leaving his job without first securing another position and without any plans as to how he would support his children. He admits thereafter refusing to cooperate with Jonne's counsel by failing to provide information as to any other prospective income he might have. At the January 28 hearing, Steve told the court


AQAP Emir Rallies Group Under New Leadership Before Plotting External Attacks

The Salafi-Jihadi Movement in Yemen

New al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) emir Khaled Batarfi will likely strengthen AQAP by cohering the organization internally before planning external attacks. An AQAP religious official confirmed the death of former emir Qasim al Raymi, whom a US airstrike killed in January, and announcedBatarfi as Raymi’s successor on February 23.[1] Batarfi’s past experience includes planning external operations for the group, potentially indicating that AQAP will continue its recent reinvigorated support for attacks outside of Yemen. Batarfi’s first statement since taking the position indicates that he is prioritizing cohering the group internally to strengthen it in the near term.

Batarfi’s strengths include his previous leadership experience in Yemen and his ties to senior al Qaeda leadership. Batarfi retains links to senior al Qaeda leadership attributed to his time fighting in Afghanistan in 1999. He also has relationships with mid-level commanders in multiple areas of Yemen from his past command roles in Hadramawt, Abyan, and al Bayda governorates. Batarfi spent time off the battlefield while imprisoned between 2011 and 2015 in Hadramawt governorate until


Iran has provided sophisticated weapons to the al Houthi movement throughout the conflict, including missile and drone components. The US Navy intercepted a dhow in the Arabian Sea carrying Iranian-manufactured weapons intended for the al Houthis in early February.

The seized weapons included type-358 antiaircraft missiles, which have been used to attempt to shoot down US drones over Yemen and are capable of downing US military helicopters. The US Navy seized three type-358 missiles in the Arabian Sea in November 2019. The seized weapons also included type-351 missiles, which are believed to have been used in the September 2019 Iran-based attack on Saudi oil infrastructure, and type-C802 missiles, which were used in an al Houthi attack on the USS Mason in the Red Sea in October 2016.

Woodrow Wilson, a leader of the Progressive Movement, was the 28th President of the United States (1913-1921). After a policy of neutrality at the outbreak of Worldfew short months he had become a scapegoat in his own land. Even today, Herbert Hoover remains indelibly linked to an economic crisis that put millions of Americans out of work in the 1930s. His 1932 defeat left Hoover’s once-bright reputation in shambles. But Herbert Hoover refused to fade away. In one of history’s most remarkable comebacks, he returned to public service at the end of World War II to help avert global famine and to reorganize the executive branch of government….By the time of his death in October 1964, Hoover had regained much of the luster once attached to his name. The Quaker theologian who eulogized him at his funeral did not exaggerate when he said of Hoover, “The story is a good one and a great


one. . . . It is essentially triumphant.”

Before serving as America’s 31st President from 1929 to 1933, Herbert Hoover had achieved international success as a mining engineer and worldwide gratitude as “The Great Humanitarian” who fed war-torn Europe during and after World War I. Son of a Quaker blacksmith, Herbert Clark Hoover brought to the Presidency an unparalleled reputation for public service as an engineer, administrator, and humanitarian.

As Birmingham goes, so goes the nation. That belief was the driving force behind Shuttlesworth’s crusade for equality.

“He was the soul and heart of the Birmingham movement,” Georgia Rep. John Lewis said. It was Birmingham, he said, that brought the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Fred Shuttlesworth had the vision, the determination never to give up, never to give in,” Lewis said.One can look at events in Gaza through the left or through the right eye. One can condemn them as inhuman, cruel and mistaken, or justify them as necessary and unavoidable.

But there is one adjective that is beyond question: They are stupid.

If the late Barbara Tuchman were still alive, she might be tempted to add another chapter to her groundbreaking opus "The March of Folly": a chapter titled "Eyeless in Gaza".

The latest episode in this epic started a few months ago, when independent activists in the Gaza Strip called for a march to the Israeli border, which Hamas supported. It was called "The Great March of Return", a symbolic gesture for the more than a million Arab residents who fled or were evicted from their homes in the


land that became the State of Israel.

The Israeli authorities pretended to take this seriously. A frightening picture was painted for the Israeli public: 1.8 million Arabs, men, women and children, would throw themselves on the border fence, break through in many places, and storm Israel’s cities and villages. Terrifying.

Israeli sharpshooters were posted along the border and ordered to shoot anyone who looked like a "ringleader". On several succeeding Fridays (the weekly Muslim holy day) more than 150 unarmed protesters, including many children, were shot dead, and many hundreds more severely wounded by gunfire, apart from those hurt by tear gas.

The Israeli argument was that the victims were shot while trying to "storm the fences". Actually, not a single such attempt was photographed, though hundreds of photographers were postedon both sides of the fence.

Facing a worldwide protest, the army changed its orders and now only rarely kills unarmed protesters. The Palestinians also changed their tactics: the main effort now is to fly children’s kites with burning tails and set Israeli fields near the Strip on fire.

Since the wind almost always blows from the West to the East, that is an easy way to hurt Israel. Children can do it, and do. Now the Minister of Education demands that the air force bomb the children. The Chief of Staff refuses, arguing that this is "against the values of the Israeli army".

At present, half of our newspapers and TV newscasts are concerned with Gaza. Everybody seems to agree that sooner or later a full-fledged war will break out


there.

The main feature of this exercise is its utter stupidity.

Every military action must have a political aim. As the German military thinker, Carl von Clausewitz, famously said: "War is but a continuation of politics by other means."

The Strip is 41 km long and 6 to 12 km wide. It is one of the most overcrowded places on earth. Nominally it belongs to the largely theoretical State of Palestine, like the West Bank, which is Israeli occupied. The Strip is in fact governed by the radical Muslim Hamas party.

In the past, masses of Palestinian workers from Gaza streamed into Israel every day. But since Hamas assumed power in the Strip, the Israeli government has imposed an almost total blockade on land and sea.

(CNN) President Donald Trump said that he just wants to have the US nuclear arsenal in "tip-top shape," pushing back on a report that he wanted to increase the stockpile tenfold.

"I want modernization and total rehabilitation," Trump told reporters Wednesday during an appearance with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He called an increase in the stockpile "totally unnecessary."

Secretary of Defense James Mattis also denied the NBC report , saying, "Recent reports that the President called for an increase in the US nuclear arsenal are absolutely false. This kind of erroneous reporting is irresponsible."

Indeed, attempting to substantially grow the United States' nuclear weapon arsenal would be "absurd" and "inconceivable," several nuclear experts say.

"This is a little bit like saying, 'I'd like a moon base, please," said Jeffrey Lewis, thePutin to allow for a greater stockpile.

The current nuclear arsenal is undergoing a modernization process. The plan was outlined under the Obama administration to modernize nuclear delivery systems, command and control systems and to refurbish warheads in the US nuclear triad -- the US force of sea, airborne and missile delivered nuclear weapons.

The plan, which keeps the number of weapons the same, is estimated to cost about $1.5 trillion over 30 years, according to an analysis by the ACA.

The Pentagon is currently reviewing US policy on nuclear weapon s and is expected to present its final report to the President by the end of the year. The review, which typically occurs every eight years, will establish US nuclear policy, strategy and force posture regarding the use of nuclear


time the 126-year-old newspaper has backed a Democrat for president.

"The challenges the United States faces domestically and internationally demand a steady hand, a cool head and the ability to think carefully before acting," the editorial states. "Hillary Clinton understands this. Donald Trump does not."

The Republic's editorial board admitted it has reservations about Clinton but insisted she is clearly the superior choice. It then listed the well-known arguments against Trump, including his simplistic, vague and ever-shifting policy positions; his blatant sexism; his race-baiting; his childish insults; "his stunning lack of human decency, empathy and respect."

Trump, the editorial concluded, is "beneath our national dignity."

The Republic has joined a no longer very exclusive club: Republican publications that reject Trump and encourage readers to vote for one of his opponents. The reveredconservative journal National Review started the trend back in January when it devoted an entire issue to criticizing Trump. More recently, the Dallas Morning News and the Cincinnati Enquirer broke long traditions of supporting Republican presidential candidates by endorsing Clinton. New Hampshire's conservative Union Leader newspaper, meanwhile, has backed Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

The Union Leader editorial, written by the paper's publisher and featured on the front page, started with a joke making the rounds on the internet:

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are together in a lifeboat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. No land in sight. No ships in sight.

Question: Who survives?

Answer: The American people.

In Dallas, a group of angry readers gathered outside the Morning News' offices to protest the paper's Clinton endorsement. Editor Mike Wilson


addressed them, arguing that the editorial board chose to stand on principle rather than partisan tradition. He later acknowledged on Twitter that he "got a few words in and persuaded zero people. Shouting continued."

Texas remains a safe red state. It will go for Trump in November. Part of the reason the Arizona Republic is receiving vitriol from readers no doubt comes from the fact that the Democratic presidential candidate, for the first time in a generation, actually has a shot at winning the Grand Canyon State.

Ninth Circuit:

Police May Use Violence Toward Bystander in Extricating Him From Zone of Danger

Panel Says Officer Properly Pointed Gun at Man, Pulled, Pushed, Dragged Him, to Prevent Him Being Caught in Cross-Fire

By a MetNews Staff Writer

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has held that an Upland police officer did not use excessive force in extricating a man from danger at the scene of an arrest by pointing a gun at his head, pulling him from his car, shoving him to the pavement which caused his thumb to be broken, and dragging him to safety.

In a memorandum opinion, a three-judge panel on Friday affirmed a Sept. 1, 2016 summary judgment, granted by Chief District Court Judge Virginia A. Phillips of the Central District


of California, in favor of the City of Upland, in San Bernardino County, and Officer Lavell Brown.

Plaintiff Harshod Mehta sued, alleging violation of his federal constitutional rights, as well as statutory rights, and his wife, Kaushika Mehta, sued for loss of consortium.

Browns actions took place after a high-speed chase ended in a fleeing suspect crashing his car into Mehtas. While the suspect remained in his vehicle, encircled by officers, Brown undertook to remove Mehta from the zone of danger, perceiving that he might otherwise be caught in cross-fire or wind up being used as a hostage.

The report is expected to be critical of the actions of key Labour figures in the months before the Iraq War

The revelations are a major blow to hopes that the inquiry, which began work in 2009, would finally publish its report before the election next May.

Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood is said to have warned the inquiry that the report, which is expected to be critical of Mr Blair and some senior Labour figures, should be published by the end of January to avoid interfering with the election.

He is thought to have set an absolute deadline of early March, after which time the report would have to be delayed to prevent it becoming a political football during the electionIslamic militants ambushed two mini-buses carrying off-duty policemen in the northern region of Egypt's Sinai peninsula on Monday, killing 25 of them in a brazen daylight attack.

The killings, which took place near the border town of Rafah, came a day after 36 detainees were killed in clashes with security forces. In all, nearly 1,000 people have died since last Wednesday in clashes between security forces and supporters of the ousted president, Mohammed Morsi.

Tensions between the sides have been high since the army ousted Morsi in a3 July coup, following days of protests by millions of Egyptians accusing him of abusing his powers and demanding his resignation.

Morsi's supporters, however, have fought back, staging demonstrations demanding his reinstatement and denouncing the military coup.

On Wednesday, the military raided two protest camps


in Cairo, killing hundreds of people and triggering the current wave of violence.

General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, the country's military chief, said on Sunday that the crackdown, followed by a state of emergency and a night-time curfew imposed in Cairo and several other flashpoint provinces, is needed to protect the country from civil war. Sisi has vowed that the military will stand firm in the face of rising violence, but also called for the inclusion of Islamists in the post-Morsi political process.

Sinai, a strategic region bordering the Gaza Strip and Israel, has witnessed almost daily attacks since the ousting of Morsi, leading many to link the militants there to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which Morsi hails.

Egyptian military and security forces have been engaged in a long-runningbattle against militants in the northern half of the peninsula.

Al-Qaida-linked fighters, some of whom consider Morsi's Brotherhood to be too moderate, and tribesmen have used the area for smuggling and other criminal activity for years, and have on occasion fired rockets into Israel and staged cross-border attacks.

A year ago, 16 Egyptian border guards were killed in Sinai near the borders with Gaza and Israel in a yet unresolved attack that is widely blamed on militants.

In Monday's attack, the militants forced the two vehicles to stop, ordered the policemen out and forced them to lie on the ground before shooting them. The policemen were in civilian clothes, officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media. There was no immediate claim


of responsibility for the attack, which also left two other policemen wounded.

Officials initially said the policemen were killed when the militants fired rocket-propelled grenades at the two minibuses. Such confusion over details in the immediate aftermath of attacks is common. Egyptian state television also reported that the men were killed execution-style.

The killings, which took place near the border town of Rafah, compound Egypt's woes a day after police fired teargas to free a prison guard from rioting detainees in clashes during which at least 36 people were killed.

Officials said the detainees had rioted and managed to capture a police officer. The were part of a prison truck convoy of some 600 prisoners heading to Abu Zaabal prison in northern Egypt.

Security forces fired teargas into the truck in effortsto free the badly beaten officerand those killed died from suffocation. officials said.

The officials' version of the event, however, contradicted reports about the incident carried by state media. The state television website reported that the deaths took place after security forces clashed with militants near the prison and detainees came under fire while trying to escape. The official MENA state news agency also said the trucks came under attack from gunmen.

State media said the people killed and the gunmen belonged to the Brotherhood. The officials who spoke to AP said some of the detainees belonged to the Brotherhood, while others didn't. The differences in the accounts could not be immediately reconciled.

The Brotherhood said in a statement that it blamed Sisi and the interior minister, Mohammed Ibrahim, who is


in charge of the police, for the attack. The group also called for an international inquiry into the deaths.

Along with the state of emergency imposed after Wednesday's crackdown, the military-backed interim government has also begun taking harsher measures to cripple the Brotherhood.

Security forces arrested hundreds of members on Sunday in raids on their homes in different cities, aimed at disrupting planned rallies in support of Morsi. The cabinet also held an emergency meeting to consider banning the group.

A possible ban, which authorities say would be implemented over the group's use of violence, would be a continuation of the decades-long struggle between the state and the Brotherhood. It also would drain the group's financial resources and allow for the mass arrest of its members. That would likely diminish thechances of a negotiated solution to the crisis and push the group underground again.

The Brotherhood, however, has shown no signs of backing down.

Under the banner of an anti-coup alliance, the group held protests on Sunday, though many appeared smaller in scale than in recent days. In the coastal city of Alexandria, protesters clashed with residents. In the southern city of Assiut, security forces fired teargas to disperse hundreds rallying in front of a mosque.

"They think they can end the movement," said senior member Brotherhood member Saad Emara. "The more killings, the more people join us."

The government blames Islamists for a series of attacks on churches and police stations, increasing public anger against the group.

In his first public appearance since last Wednesday, Sisi spoke at length on Sunday about


the motives behind the ousting of Morsi. The general said the Islamist president exploited democracy to monopolise power. He again said the military's action "protected Egyptians from civil war", despite the ongoing violence on the streets.

"We will not stand by silently watching the destruction of the country and the people, or the torching the nation and terrorising the citizens," Sisi said in a speech aired on state television. "I am not threatening anyone ... If the goal is to destroy the country and the people, no!"

The general said that the military didn't seek power but instead "have the honour to protect the people's will which is much dearer [than] ruling Egypt".interior (or of the provinces of Argentina) on the capital, Buenos Aires.

The Cordobazo also had lasting influences on the history of Argentina. On one hand, it showed that the population accepted violent means to defend themselves against the military dictatorship, since no other democratic means of expression could be used. On the other hand, liberal democracy, parliamentarism and the system of elections was globally refused by what came to be known as the New Opposition (Nueva Oposición). Even Arturo Frondizi, who had been elected in 1958, had legitimized the 1955 military coup, known as the Revolución Libertadora, which had toppled Juan Perón.

Henceforth, the Cordobazo showed, to contemporary activists, that they could find popular support for violent and revolutionary means of actions against Onganía's dictatorship, thus radicalizing the social


Sees a plot to defame actor Pawan Kalyan; says Ram Gopal Varma is part of it

The casting couch issue that dragged actor Pawan Kalyan and director Ram Gopal Varma into it took an interesting turn with producer Allu Aravind trying to give it a political twist while lashing out at Mr. Varma in support of Pawan Kalyan.

Mr. Aravind, brother-in-law of actor and politician Chiranjeevi, fell short of abusing Mr. Varma for his claims that he had advised actor Sri Reddy to drag Mr. Kalyan into the issue. He said he was well aware of a plot that was emerging to defame Mr. Kalyan and added that Mr. Varma was a part of it. Where would he have gotten ₹5 crore that he claimed to have offered Sri Reddy,has immense respect for the law of the land. He said he would let it tackle the allegations levelled against his family.” As the issue took new twists and turns, Mr. Varma, on Thursday, tweeted expressing his apologies to actor Pawan Kalyan and his family for encouraging Sri Reddy to abuse him.

A day earlier, Mr. Varma, in a video posted on YouTube, said he encouraged Sri Reddy to abuse the actor who had advised her to go to the police rather than seeking justice through media.

Meanwhile, actor Sri Reddy also tweeted apologising to Pawan Kalyan’s mother. She said what she did was wrong and it was not deliberate. She claimed she was disturbed by her trolling by Pawan Kalyan’s fans leading to such statements.

Finland announced late yesterday that it would impose a ban on the issuance of any new licenses to sell arms to Saudi Arabia and the UAE as a result of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and their role in the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

The announcement comes after similar decisions were issued by Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany.

The Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila told Olesa Radio: “The situation in Yemen caused this decision, but of course [Khashoggi’s murder] was part of the general rationale.”A Saudi-led military coalition, in which the UAE is an active member, has been fighting a bloody war in Yemen, while Saudi Arabia says it has supported the internationally backed government of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, UN investigators accuse the two Gulf states ofseason have reinvented themselves as champions-in-waiting, averaging close to two and a half points a game, and in the process they have also managed to bring forward what is now firmly established as the annual Arsenal meltdown. First versus third, at the start of play, was nothing like as close as might have been anticipated.

Instead, it became another demonstration of why Arsène Wenger was horribly mistaken to believe his watery, lightweight team might be authentic title challengers and, with four defeats in their past nine league fixtures, the most pertinent question for Arsenal now is not whether they can make up the 12-point gap to Chelsea but if they have the fortitude to continue their long sequence of top-four finishes.

The Attorney General reasons that because D. testified he was first molested in the first grade, and he was born in 1989, the offense against him must have occurred after 1994.
We disagree. As Hiscox points out, there was no testimony regarding D.'s age when he entered first grade. Furthermore, D.'s testimony was indefinite. He said the molestation began when he was "probably about first grade." He also testified that he was "about fourth grade" when he, his brothers, and his mother *787 stopped living with Hiscox.

never wrote about Ireland until now is explained in the opening sentence of my novel:

“I did not become ashamed of being Irish until I was well into the middle years of my life.”

When I was growing up in Dublin in the 70s and 80s, the parish priest lived in the house to my left while eight nuns lived in the house to my right. I was an altar boy, went to a Catholic school and was brought to mass every Sunday. I knew there were Protestants in Dublin, and Methodists and Jews and Mormons, but I never laid eyes on any of them, and probably would have run a mile if I had. They were going to hell, after all, or so the priests told us. And asworld in luxury, playing on his popularity to reinforce concepts that were not only outdated but also destructive and harmful, he basked in the applause of young people while making sure to cover up every single crime that was committed against them. And still, in behaviour that beggars belief, tens of thousands of people, many of them under 30, poured into St Peter’s Square earlier this year to celebrate his sanctification. Where is their compassion? Where is their humanity? And the more scandals that came to light over the years, the more I grew convinced that there was not a single good man to be found among their number and the sooner they disappeared from our lives, the better it would be for all.

In 1996, a widely circulated and influential forecast for the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area stated that a decline in hospital and healthcare employment in the region would occur over the next five years. It also suggested that this decline would exacerbate the problem of an oversupply of nurses seeking hospital employment. The forecast reflected a regional leadership and expert consensus on the impact of the managed care transformation on workforce needs and was supported by short-term statistical trends in regional utilization and employment. Confounding these predictions was the fact that hospital and healthcare employment actually grew. By the end of 2001, hospitals in the region were experiencing problems in recruiting sufficient numbers of nurses, pharmacists, and


Westgate City Centre, a new sports and entertainment district, expects to attract up to 26 million people a year, not just to see an NHL game, but to visit a $2-billion urban district development initiative that consists of more than eight million square feet of shopping, dining, entertainment, hotel, residential and office space.

There is much downtown Winnipeg can learn in regards to how mega-projects, which bring millions of people downtown, are utilized to create vibrancy and economic development.

Westgate City Centre is a sophisticated, planned mixed-use sports and entertainment district. It is anchored by two mega projects: Jobing.com Arena, where the Coyotes play, and the University of Phoenix Stadium, which is the home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.

Although this entertainment district is labelled as an urban area, it iswater attraction," combining water effects with music and video imagery. This stunning area attracts the community for outdoor concerts, pre-game tailgate parties, New Year's Eve bashes and anything celebrating community accomplishments. Sidewalks meander through picturesque park space, connecting unique retailers, and restaurants lead to a world-class movie theatre. Evenings are transformed into nocturnal showpieces of lit buildings and trees, while hundreds of people sit on patios waiting for the arena gates to open or to celebrate the win of their team. Only a few blocks away, thousands of people live in newly built condos. All that is missing is the vibe and the diversity that only a real downtown can create with its unique collection of people, sounds, buildings and fully integrated uses.

In essence, with the recent arrival


of the world-class MTS Centre downtown, the stage is set for Winnipeg to create our own unique sports and entertainment facility to take advantage of the pedestrian volumes created by an AHL or possibly an NHL hockey team and the myriad of other event nights, and to create a real urban sports and entertainment district, which in fact has been identified as a goal by the City of Winnipeg.

Our sidewalks, transportation and parking infrastructure are basically in place and would need to be refreshed and perhaps even reconfigured. And the required buildings, both new and historical, are in essence waiting for a higher and mixed use. And with several vacant surface parking lots and vacant buildings surrounding the MTS Centre, the sky is the limit to apply themy time's up."

Grella's retirement at 33 ends the career of a Socceroo who was the fiercest of competitors, the most honest of speakers, and the hardest of workers for his country.

Raised in Melbourne, Grella played at an Olympic Games and two World Cup finals among 46 appearances for Australia.

He and great friend Mark Bresciano - whom Grella rates the best player he ever played with - gave Australia a decade-long presence in the Serie A at a time it was the world's best club competition before a move to England's top-flight.

Until the Heart match, he had not taken the field in a top-level game since September 2011, when he played for English Premier League club Blackburn Rovers.

Grella admits his calf gave way just three minutes after entering Heart's


match on Saturday night as a 68th minute substitute - the latest and last in his two-and-a-half year struggle with calf, knee and groin problems.

He kept playing despite the pain, aware in his own mind this was the final signal his time was up after such a meticulous process of rehabilitation wasn't able to get his body right.

For his career highlights, two matches stand out.

"The game against Uruguay in Sydney (in which the Socceroos achieved 2006 World Cup finals qualification) was the biggest and most enjoyable game of my career, and the first game in Italy (in the Serie A) which was a childhood dream," he said.

Grella is unsure what his next career move will be - saying he is still "shellshocked" at the thought of retirement.

Highlights and insights from live interviews with two food world icons

Max Taylor Photography

The Atlantic and Atlantic Live held our third Food Summit yesterday, and it had a happy and sometimes surprising mixture of glamor, gravity, and profanity. I was doing much of the interviewing, so my notes are incomplete, but you can get a good sense of the day from Brian Fung's concise summary of the hundreds of tweets from the afternoon. And as they become available, we'll be posting links to the full video clips of the four interviews I did and of the two panels moderated by my colleagues Steve Clemons, on sustainably feeding a world of 9 billion, and Clive Crook, on addressing the ever-more-ominous


that are often submerged in the endless coverage of her celebrity: self-reliance--which is easily parodied in the care she takes with details, including by herself in the famous commercial in which she lays a mosaic at the bottom of her pool, but which originated in the desire to save money, learn, and teach--and scholarly depth of research. She doesn't want to know enough about the subject she's working on to get an article, a chapter, or a TV segment. She wants to know everything, and she'll do not just the paint, glue-gun, and pastry-rolling work herself, she'll do the reading.

Stewart is ahead of the curve on most trends in the food world, and has been since her first book. The local-sustainable mantra, for example, is something she practicedfrom the time she made her Westport house famous. She told me that this, like many of the lessons she values, was something she saw in her own house growing up in Nutley, New Jersey. Her father would start plants from seeds--"never seedlings"--by the one picture window in the house, which allowed enough light to get them going in the victory gardens, still called victory gardens, in Nutley. Fertilizer was fish heads and bones from the fish he would catch on "party boats" leaving Asbury Park--never anything bought. As with most of the history of agriculture, everything they grew was organic just because that was the way everyone knew and that worked best.

"It's a way of life," she said of sustainability--a way of life she's making much clearer


rocks, plunge the burn into a bed of coarse salt and it won't blister.

High tech is a fascination, too. Before the rest of the food world became obsessed with the Microsoft general genius Nathan Myhrvold and before he created the research lab where his team of about 45 collaborators wrote the landmark five-volume Modernist Cuisine (which I actually read, and wrote about at length), she went to his home kitchen and started playing and filming. I knew she'd have been one of the first to buy an immersion circulator for the sous-vide cooking method that was overtaking chefs when I wrote about Dan Barber's unexpected embrace of it; I didn't know that she'd ruled out cooking anything sous-vide for herself, because she doesn't trust the chemicals that mightworth listening to, not just because of her surprising assertion that "I didn't know what a glass ceiling was" when she started her company, but because of the remedy she recommends: allowing more women in positions of power to be shown raising families while doing their jobs.

Mario Batali, too, has always stood for a good deal more than the good-natured bonhomie and infinite buoyancy he brings to his TV appearances. First, like Stewart, intense interest in learning. He made himself into an encyclopedia of the food and ingredients of Italian regions, because he loves all 21 of them. I was very glad to hear that he plans to open a new restaurant in New York, "something I said I wasn't interested in," featuring the food of southern Italy,

I'll be watching for those clips, too.

Corby Kummer's work in The Atlantic has established him as one of the most widely read, authoritative, and creative food writers in the United States. The San Francisco Examinerwell have been on the cards for the Celtics, and seeing Ainge stick to his guns once again instead of acquiring an established star will annoy some. But leaving the draft, Boston still have a ton of assets in their drawer. With free agency still to come, the front office had no reason to panic, choosing to remain patient while top players from around the league became available.

That's a big reason why the Celtics were one of the biggest winners on Thursday night, in my opinion. If the pursuit of Gordon Hayward pays off, then bringing on George or Porzingis becomes alot more likely. There was little reason to make those moves a couple of weeks before free agency begins.

In Ainge's eyes, Boston grabbed the best player in


bodies and various animal substances for divination and medicine (28.5ff., 69, 256, 261). From the end of the 1st century on, he is often referred to as an authority on necromancy and other forms of divination, astrology, the manufacture of amulets, and secret names and magical properties of plants and stones. These references, like Pliny's, are commonly supposed to reflect works fathered on him in the Hellensitic period. No doubt they often do so, but forgery did not stop with the Roman annexation of Alexandria.
