Prior to US President Donald Trump's recent Muslim ban, Murad Subay, a Yemeni artist, never had to worry about being able to see his wife, Hadil, who studies in the US on a scholarship.

Following the recent executive order, which placed a travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries including Yemen, seeing his wife again has become a distant dream.

Subay cannot travel to visit her and fears that if Hadil returns home, she will not be allowed back in the US. What was once a valuable opportunity for Hadil to study political science at Stanford University in California has now turned into a nightmare.

Subay is stuck in a war-ravaged country while his wife lives in a place where foreign Muslims are eyed with suspicion.

Here is Subay's account of how theflare in December 2015 to within three weeks.

Then, in 2018, a group of scientists led by Lankeswar Dey, a graduate student at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India, published a paper with an even more detailed model they claimed would be able to predict the timing of future flares to within four hours. In a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, those scientists report that their accurate prediction of a flare that occurred on July 31, 2019, confirms the model is correct.

The observation of that flare almost didn’t happen. Because OJ 287 was on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, out of view of all telescopes on the ground and in Earth orbit, the black hole wouldn’t come back into view

The club moved here because it was at a standstill with its stadium situation in San Jose. We felt Houston was a strong soccer market and there was a ripe opportunity to get a stadium done.

The team operating NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is telling the rover to use several tools this weekend to inspect a sandstone slab being evaluated as a possible drilling target.

If this target meets criteria set by engineers and scientists, it could become the mission's third drilled rock, and the first that is not mudstone. The team calls it "Windjana," after a gorge in Western Australia.

The planned inspection, designed to aid a decision on whether to drill at Windjana, includes observations with the camera and X-ray spectrometer at the end of the rover's arm, use of a brush to remove dust from a patch on the rock, and readings of composition at various points on the rock with an instrument that fires laser shots from the rover's mast.

Curiosity's hammering drillprocess that turned sand deposits into sandstone here," said Curiosity Project Scientist John Grotzinger, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "What was the composition of the fluids that bound the grains together? That aqueous chemistry is part of the habitability story we're investigating."

Understanding why some sandstones in the area are harder than others also could help explain major shapes of the landscape where Curiosity is working inside Gale Crater. Erosion-resistant sandstone forms a capping layer of mesas and buttes. It could even hold hints about why Gale Crater has a large layered mountain, Mount Sharp, at its center.

To shape their vision, the owners hired art curator Paige Powell, whose résumé includes work with legends Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Using the Nines’ locale atop a nationally recognized historic landmark—located at the corner of SW Morrison Street and Fifth Avenue, the building is now home to Macy’s—Powell has managed to pay homage to Meier & Frank’s legacy while also placing one well-heeled foot in the twenty-first century.

Powell spent two years commissioning original pieces from forty-seven Portland artists, including Storm Tharp and Gus Van Sant (whose personal photographs of Ken Kesey and Mount Hood hang in the eighth-floor library), to create a mood that would transport hotel guests to bygone eras. She calls it “modern nostalgia.” The results range from LED light sculptures to large-scale installations like2008.

Right now, the heaviest dependence on direct government benefits is particularly concentrated in certain places, and mostly not in urban counties.

Specifically, the Coal Country patch from West Virginia into southern Ohio and eastern Kentucky would be split between more states, while the patch of heavy dependence in the Ozarks (southern Missouri into northern Arkansas) would be concentrated into… Ozark. The most dependent part of Michigan is combined with the most dependent part of Wisconsin. The most dependent parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado would be combined in Shiprock.

Would the big cities that were disconnected from poorer hinterlands become less tolerant of federal redistribution? Would Boston, now sharing a much larger territory with more people dependent on benefits, take a dimmer view of state-level redistribution?

and Roman myths in the Gaelic hedge schools that preceded the widespread use of the English language. The Irish language that preceded English had been deeply influenced by ancient European myths, particularly the great myths of sea and exile such as that of Homer’s Odyssey. In the areas of literature, the peoples of Europe have had an old and enduring sense of respect for what is a cultural diversity frequently drawn from a shared body of myth.

It was, however, in the tasks of the mind and the spirit that the Irish sought to make their greatest contribution. Thus it was that in July 1950 the then Irish Prime Minister, John A. Costello, together with the Irish Foreign Minister, Nobel Peace Laureate, and founding member of Amnesty International, SeanMcBride travelled to Luxeuil-Les-Bains to officially celebrate the 1400th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest Irish and European saints and scholars, Columbanus. It was Columbanus who with St. Gall and others established centres of learning, manuscript illumination, monasteries and communities across Europe from the North of Ireland to Bobbio, where Columbanus actually died.

It is of the spirit of citizenship as it might be at a European level, as might motivate Europeans who want to give the two words – European and Union – a sense of fulfilment, and of human flourishing that I wish to speak of in this year that has been dedicated as “European Year of the Citizen”.

But one more word about that meeting in Luxeuil-Les-Bains in July 1950. No more than some


meetings of the contemporary period, its real agenda was not as publicly indicated. It was declared to be ecclesiastical in purpose; after all, the Papal Nuncio to France, Monsignor Roncalli, later to be Pope John XXIII, was present, as was the Bishop of Bobbio. But we now know, from the work of the distinguished scholar of the Sorbonne Marguerite Marie Dubois, modernist, linguist, philosopher and lexicographer, that the meeting was really organized so as to facilitate a meeting of Robert Schuman, Foreign Minister of France, with like minded others from a number of European countries anxious to test his great idea for the coming together of the countries of Europe.

Schuman, reached back to recall the early monastic perigrinatio and declared Columbanus to be “the patron saint of alllegitimacy from the support of its citizens. That connection with the citizens – their belief that the European Union is of them and for them – is fundamental. Without it, we are adrift. Citizens need an appeal to their heart as well as their reason. They need reassurance now that the Union will keep faith with its founding treaties.

It is many years since Jacques Delors declared “Europe needs a soul”, but it remains just as true. We should never forget that we are the inheritors of a profoundly important set of European values – Greek democracy, Roman law, the Judeo-Christian tradition, the reformation, the enlightenment, the great democratic revolution that began in France. Europe is therefore more than an economic space of contestation in which our citizens are

It is 33 feet long and almost five feet wide, drawn to a precise scale of 3/8ths of an inch to one foot, on a single piece of paper which was then affixed to a linen backing. It was captioned in great detail to make the complex design and usage of the boat clear to the members of the Board of Inquiry who used it throughout their investigation.

The plan hung from cables in the hearing room and was referred to constantly


the iceberg was 12 square feet, which is the size of a normal room door. But it was the fact that it was in six different places.”

The Board of Trade inquiry ended on July 3rd, 1912, concluding that “excessive speed” had caused the sinking of Titanic. The plan was returned to the White Star Line and it remained in private hands, unseen by the public until its sale last year. All we know about the person who bought it is that he or she is Irish and a Titanic enthusiast who wants to share the awesomeness of this one-of-a-kind artifact with the public.

Before going on display, the plan spent five weeks being examined and tended to by paper conservator Sean Madden. He found it in excellent condition, eventhough it probably spent a few decades gathering dust in a White Star archive before some unknown person saved it from destruction in the 30s or 40s after the 1934 merger of Cunard and White Star. He also believes that a drawing of such detail and size could not have been produced in the ten days between the commissioning of the Board of Trade inquiry on April 22nd, 1912 and the first day of hearings on May 2nd, 1912. Madden thinks it was created in 1908 as a working drawing used for reference during Titanic’s construction in Belfast which is why White Star was able to produce it in time for the inquiry.

The titanic Titanic profile went on display in Titanic Belfast’s “Aftermath” gallery on Thursday, November 27th.

Sylvan Adams, the flamboyant real estate billionaire who owns Israel Cycling Academy (ICA), is determined to bring his team to the Tour de France by 2020.

The way he sees it, there are three ways to get there. First, his team can finish among one of the top two spots in this year’s team rankings among the Professional Continental league, and earn an automatic wildcard berth to all three grand tours for 2020, which includes a spot in the Tour. Option two is to sign a big-name rider who could entice a grand tour to invite ICA, a scenario that opens doors but provides no guarantee. Or, he could merge with an existing WorldTour team hungry for new financial partners.

That final scenario is making the rounds this winter infuture has fueled speculation that it might consider a merger with another sponsor hungry for the team’s deep roster and racing acumen that has won six of the past seven editions of the Tour de France.

Many are wondering if a similar scenario to what happened with BMC Racing and CCC-Sprandi Polkowice could play out for Team Sky. BMC Racing was folding at the end of 2018, while the second-tier Polish-backed team was keen to race the Tour after years of falling short of securing a wild-card invitation. BMC Racing manager Jim Ochowicz stitched together a deal that saw Polish shoemaker CCC come on board as its new title sponsor for 2019, racing as CCC Team with a mix of staff and riders from both former teams.

Most of the retail clients of the finance industry - and the customers of financial media - are older high net worth individuals who stand to benefit both from higher interest rates and from lower inflation.

except this :The 1790 Default. Shortly after the formation of the first United States federal government under the Constitution of 1787, Congress passed and President Washington signed the Funding Act of 1790. This act directed the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, to assume the Revolutionary War debts of the states, allowing creditors to exchange the state-backed war debt with bonds issued by the US Treasury. The interest on the bonds was deferred until 1801. A total of $21.5 million dollars was


assumed.

Prior to the passage of the Funding Act, much of the debt was expected to default. It traded at deep discounts to face value. Once the act was passed, the value of the debt skyrocketed—because bondholders were sure they would be repaid by the new federal government. In fact, quite a lot of money was made by people who bought the state debt in anticipation of the Funding Act or with early notice that it had passed. Even at the time of the Founding, traders were profiting from informational asymmetries.

The Act also provided that the debt securities issued by the Confederation government that existed prior to the federal government would be converted into new federal bonds. The interest on one third of the value of the converted bondswas deferred until 1801.

So why is this described as a default by Reinhart and Rogoff? It’s pretty clear that the federal government was not defaulting on its own obligations. Instead, it was modifying obligations incurred by the states—either directly or through the Confederation—and assuming them.

This was almost the opposite of a default, since it made payment much more likely. That’s why the bonds rallied after the passage of the act.

The 1841-1842 Defaults. This was actually a series of defaults by nine state governments, including three states that repudiated their debt altogether. The federal government was not involved.

The 1873-1884 Defaults. Another series of defaults by states and cities. In total 10 states defaulted. West Virginia, the worst of the state financial basket cases, was still working out its debt

The risk of a "deep" bond wire shorting to the surface of the die or to another bond wire is too great. Another risk is sagging of the wire where it touches the "scribe street" causing a short to ground (a failure referred to as "wire wash"). In thin profile surface-mount packages, a deep bond wire may even protrude through the top of the plastic package. Moreover, a single bond wire may exhibit a resistance of over 50 m.OMEGA..

Rethinking Church, A Perspective on the Emergent Church

I heard Phyllis Tickle speak at a Preaching Conference at Luther Seminary three years ago and then I read her book The Great Emergence. Dr. David Lose first put me on the understanding of the dynamics of the transformations facing our society and thus also the church, and since then I have been dabbling in reading about the emergent church.

When I heard Phyllis talk about how she got into studying this phenomenon - the mainline publishers were trying to find out why there was such an explosion of books on spirituality back in the 70's, I realized that the kind of books she was talking about were the ones that I read in high school and college. I realized that Ireality, and everyone knows this reality, Assange is being prosecuted because he exposed war crimes including the wanton killing of journalists and civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, the violation of human rights in Guantanamo Bay and the corruption of US foreign policy by transnational corporations. These are the big elephants in the room that the United States is trying to hide.

The US prison system is seen around the world as inhumane. The UN Committee against Torture issued a report strongly criticizing the US prisons on a number of issues, among them torture and the extensive use of solitary confinement. The US uses long-term solitary more than any other country in the world, on any given day, at least 80,000 people are held in solitary confinement in the US.


Political prisoners have been held in long-term solitary confinement as demonstrated by the imprisonment of black liberation activists who were held in solitary for decades. And whistleblowers have been held in solitary as was Chelsea Manning during her prosecution, including her most recent incarceration for refusing to testify before the grand jury investigating Assange. The European Court of Human Rights has prevented extradition to the US from the UK in a case involving an alleged terrorist because of inhumane prison conditions.

The US put forward a flimsy indictment that even on its face did not prove the allegation of assisting Manning with the password to access secret documents. The US put forward this weak and relatively mild charge probably to make extradition easier. They sought to avoid the politicalhis immediate release.”

President Trump has kept his options open. Trump said in the Oval Office, that he “knows nothing” about the prosecution and “It’s not my thing.” Sean Hannity, a Trump media cheerleader has offered to let Assange host his show and reach his 15 million viewers. Assange is a wedge issue that divides Trump loyalists.

If the movement does its job and builds a national consensus against the prosecution of a publisher for reporting the truth, Trump may side with those in his voting base that are against extradition; and the leading Democratic candidates may also come out against prosecution and stand for freedom of the press that reports crimes of the US government.

In the United Kingdom, politics are in flux as well. While the next election is


Assange Campaign Will Be A Global Campaign For The Right To Know

At least five times, the UN, through various committees and special rapporteurs, has called on Assange not to be prosecuted or extradited to the United States. A campaign to stop the prosecution of Assange will build into a global movement because the US has created chaos and havoc around the world, and has killed more than a million people this century and made many millions into refugees.

The people of the world are impacted by the actions of the United States and they have a right to know what the US is doing. The people of the US are told we live in a democracy, but there can be no democracy when the people are not allowed toTwo days after the November election, leaders of President Trump’s transition team presented his inner circle with more than 100 names of candidates for key Cabinet and other senior positions in the new administration. Missing from the list for the post of national security adviser was retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, according to two knowledgeable officials.

Flynn was a loyalist who had a close relationship with Trump. It was obvious to the transition team that Trump would give him a prominent appointment. But among some of those tasked with bringing forward prospective candidates, there was a belief that Flynn was ill-suited for the critically important job of coordinating national security policy in the new White House.

Trump, however, had his own list of candidates, and Flynn was at the top.


Eleven days after winning the election, he announced Flynn as his choice. Twenty-four days after Trump was sworn in as president, Flynn was forced out for having misled Vice President Pence and others about communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn later acknowledged that he had worked on behalf of the Turkish government while serving as a campaign adviser. Last week, through his lawyer, he offered to testify, in exchange for immunity, in the ongoing investigations of Russian interference in the election.

Viewed through the lens of the first months of the new administration, Trump’s transition provided the template for what has unfolded since Inauguration Day on personnel and other matters. No transition goes exactly as planned, but Trump’s proved messier than most and that has carried over intothe first months of his presidency.

Throughout the campaign, Trump took a hands-off approach to transition preparations. It was bad karma, he believed, to start planning a presidency before he won the election. Once elected, he decided to run things his own way. “It went off the rails almost immediately after the election,” said one knowledgeable person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer a candid assessment.

(Bastien Inzaurralde/The Washington Post)

[Trump remains the center of attention — but politically he is increasingly isolated]

One effect was that the Trump team could not scale up quickly enough during the transition and, therefore, failed to maintain a full pipeline of appointees for the new administration. The Partnership for Public Service, in collaboration with The Washington Post, has been tracking 553 key

But the transition operated as two units, one in Washington, where the bulk of the staff was based, and the other at Trump Tower, where the president-elect and his top campaign advisers were located. “The operation went forward, but it wasn’t connected to the decision-makers,” said Max Stier, the president and chief executive of the Partnership for Public Service. He added that, despite the planning done ahead of the election, Trump and his inner circle “created a decisional process that was opaque and held by a few people.”

On Election Day, Trump’s transition advisers presented the president-elect’s inner circle with 30 binders of materials. One binder provided the overview and outlined detailed recommendations for the 73-day presidential transition then commencing. This wastwo full days culling longer lists of names to between four and six for each key position. Prospective candidates recommended for national security adviser included retired Marine Gen. Jim Mattis, who was selected for defense secretary; retired Marine Gen. Peter Pace, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; retired Adm. William H. McRaven, who oversaw the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and is now chancellor of the University of Texas System; and K.T. McFarland, the current deputy national security adviser.

Flynn was penciled in as a possible director of national intelligence, for which transition officials believed he was better suited than national security adviser.

Cabinet selections were to be made quickly after the election but withheld until at least Thanksgiving. “We wanted him to make [Cabinet] selections


privately so we could do vetting privately before announcements,” said one official with knowledge of the process who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private information.

Instead of an orderly rollout, however, the process quickly went Trumpian. Candidates were called to meet with Trump at Trump Tower or at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., in a process that critics likened to a reality-TV show. Announcements sometimes were made through press release rather than by the candidate in a public setting. The process rather than the announcements became the theater — and the narrative.Fox is planning to debut a legalized sports betting product in partnership with Canadian gambling company The Stars Group, marking the first time a large legacy media company is branding a betting product.

Fox Bet will launch in the fall of 2019, the company said in a statement. Initially, Fox will debut two products, a free-to-play game and a real money wagering platform in states with legalized gaming, which will rival companies such as FanDuel and DraftKings.

Fox will invest $236 million in The Stars Group in exchange for about 5 percent equity in the company. The Stars Group rose more than 10 percent after hours and has a market capitalization of about $5 billion.

As part of the deal, Fox Sports said it will grant an exclusive license to The


Stars Group for the use of certain Fox Sports trademarks to online sports wagering. Prior to the 10th anniversary of the commercial agreement, Fox Sports has the right acquire up to a 50% equity stake in The Stars Group's U.S. business.

"Digital sports wagering represents a growing market opportunity that allows us to diversify our revenue streams, connect directly with consumers and expand the reach of the FOX Sports brand," said Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks in a statement.

So far, legacy media companies that own broadcast rights to sports, such as Comcast and Disney, have stayed in the background with sports wagering. While Disney has considered investing in DraftKings and Comcast Ventures has invested in FanDuel, major media companies have stayed away from fronting the business or marketing brandedproducts.

"I don't see The Walt Disney Company, certainly in the near term, getting involved in the business of gambling, in effect, by facilitating gambling in any way," Disney CEO Bob Iger said during his company's first-quarter earnings conference call in February. "Getting into the business of gambling, I rather doubt it."

Sports gambling has been legalized in eight states. A total of fifteen states could legalize by the end of the year and 30 by next year, according to Patrick Keane, CEO of The Action Network, a research and analytics company dedicated to sports gambling.

Still, mobile betting companies must get licensed and operational after legalization. New Jersey is the only state where there is robust competition for operational legalized sports betting. Thus far, FanDuel and DraftKings account for more


Japan has an increasing number of vacant homes — a problem that's set to persist because of an aging and shrinking population that has left many towns and villages empty.

Abandoned properties in the world's third-largest economy are among the least-discussed side effects of the country's demographic changes. But it's getting more attention given the increasing number of affordable — and sometimes free — houses put up for sale online on websites called "akiya banks."

DEARBORN — Though in its 11th season, the Dearborn Farmers & Artisans Market isn’t afraid to make a few fundamental changes to better serve its community. And those changes, both to the market’s time and location, come from the community itself.

French radical film-maker René Vautier died on Sunday aged 86. He claimed to be the "most censored director in France."

A lifelong critic of French colonialism, Vautier is best known for "Avoir 20 ans dans les Aurès", which depicted young French conscripts being turned into killing machines during the Algerian war (1954-1962).

It won the international critics' prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1972 but like much of his work, it brought him into conflict with French authorities.

Many of his films were banned by the establishment and one - "Africa 50" which is seen as the first French anti-colonial film - even landed him one year in prison.

"Africa 50" denounced the crimes of the French army and the lack of education afforded to the natives of Frenchcolonies. It was banned for 40 years.

"René Vautier was a politically engaged film-maker when censorship reigned. He

was one of the just." said Gilles Jacob, the former president of the Cannes festival.

The war in Algeria, on which he made nearly a dozen films, was at the heart of Vautier's oeuvre.

The popular children's anime Doraemon will get a film festival all to itself in February next year. From February 1 to March 5, Shogakukan 's Jimbocho Theater will screen all 39 Doraemon films, plus 14 short films/specials that were initially screened alongside the feature films. All films that were released before 2010 will be screened with 35 mm film.

More details will be released on Jimbocho Theater's website at a later date.

Fujiko F. Fujio 's original manga has inspired numerous television anime, films, and specials. The first film, called Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Dinosaur , debuted in 1980. The 2020 Doraemon film, Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Shin Kyōryū ( Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's New Dinosaur ), will open on March 6, 2020.

she took maybe 3 days off in total. She's done 24 hour shifts, 12 nights of shifts without a break. All voluntarily, but she's done a lot for the company. Last year, she was practically running the building throughout the summer, on her own.

In return, she asked for two things. 1, to move on site, as the option is available to nightworkers. 2, she went for a job opening which would see her promoted to senior (my staff level).

She was told "hahaha, no. Maybe next year" and she was passed over for the senior position by someone who is an old friend of the head of department. So you know what she does now? Exactly what is required by her job, and nothing more. She has, like me,UCL Institute of Archaeology

View from the trenches: Romania

9 July 2013

Institute staff and students are currently continuing their excavations at Tăşnad, Satu Mare country, in Northwestern Romania.

Dig Diary 2013

In 2012, Ulrike Sommer and Ciprian
Astalos began excavations of an early Neolithic Körös-settlement in Tăşnad,
Romania. The site belongs to a large
settlement area discovered during rescue excavations since the 1990. A number
of houses and numerous settlement pits were discovered. The erosion of the
Cehal-banks necessitated further rescue excavations, which were conducted in
cooperation between the Satu Mare Museum and the Institute of Archaeology, UCL.

The settlement dates to around 5000 BC and
belongs to the earliest agriculturalists in the area. They reached the site
either from the East, from Central Transsylvania, where Gura Bacului
represents one of the early Criş-sites in the area, or up the Tisa river


from
the south. Tăşnad is located at the very boundary of the hills of Transsylvania
to the great Hungarian plain, which at the time was an environment dominated by
lakes, marshes and numerous streams, with woodland on the river margins and
open steppe between the rivers.

The excavation aims to reconstruct the
activity areas around early Neolithic houses. A thick occupational layer that
covers the remains of the houses and of the pits offers the opportunity to
clarify the depositional history of Neolithic finds. Hence the occupation layer
is dug in 1m squares and 5 cm spits. All finds >1cm are recorded three-dimensionally
and planned. It has already become clear that often remains of single pots were
found in close proximity, hinting at discrete dumping episodes. Despite
systematic sieving, few seeds have been found yet, but charcoal is abundant.

The majorityof the finds consist of
pottery, daub, hearth remains, quern fragments, axes and chipped stone were
also uncovered. Both local raw materials like jasper and limnic quartzite and
imported siliceous rocks were used. These consist of Hungarian obsidian, blond
Balkanic flint from Northeastern Bulgaria and Prut-Flint from Moldavia or the
Ukraine and indicate the far flung trade-connections of these early farmers.

The recent severe thunderstorms made for a
slow start, as the local heavy clay turns to deep mud with rain, but now the
excavation is well under way, uncovering the occupation layer with sometimes
over a hundred finds per square meter. The rains have left another trace,
however, as a frog has decided to settle in the puddle in the deepest part of
the trench. He was promptly christened Gordon by the students!


In all, only about 23% of the state-funded portion of the budget was not exempted, but that still leaves several agencies on the hook for cuts, including the departments of Agriculture, Corrections, Driver Services, Public Health, public defenders, the Georgia State Patrol, the GBI, most of the Department of Natural Resources, and the administration of k-12 schools and colleges.

The DHS, including its children services division, would be among the hardest hit agencies because it has a huge budget and Kemp only exempted a portion of it from cuts.

This year, in fiscal 2020, the agency would save millions of dollars by cutting vacant positions and travel in areas such as child services staffers, and elder abuse investigations and prevention.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira plans to return to the Octagon next year, but he may also make his final exit from fighting in 2015, as well.

Nogueira has spent the better part of this year recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in the lead-up to his last fight, a knockout loss to Roy Nelson at UFC Fight Night 39 in April.

The former Pride and UFC champion didn’t have surgery on his knee until mid-June. He has been rehabbing the injury, and slowly returning to training, but plans on fighting again sometime in the Spring of 2015.

THE three chambers of commerce in the Highlands have joined forces to strongly oppose the introduction of a tourist tax in the region, arguing it would be an unwelcome additional levy on the hard-pressed industry.

Inverness, Caithness and Lochaber chambers, which together represent 820 companies, outline their stance in a submission to Highland Council’s consultation on the issue that
ends on Sunday (20 October).

The letter, signed by the chambers’ chief executives Stewart Nicol (Inverness), Trudy Morris (Caithness) and Frazer Coupland (Lochaber), will also be passed to the Scottish Government
which is taking submissions on the topic until 2 December.

The Government has committed to consult on, and introduce, legislation to give councils the power to apply the tax, also known as a Transient Visitor Levy. This will enable local
authorities to introduce theDoug Williams: Race not "a forgotten thing" at quarterback

Habitat and conservation
Several ecosystems exist in the park and preserve. In canyons, bay trees and big-leaf maples form shady groves. Along creeks, several species of willow grow, and cottonwoods are found in a couple areas. On cooler, north-facing slopes, oaks and bays form a forest. On hotter, south-facing slopes, chaparral scrub of chamise, manzanita, and birch-leaf mountain mahogany predominates. Douglas-fir, common west of the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, can be seen as lone trees above the Rogue Valley trail, and along the Black Mountain trail; they are the only conifer in the park. Ridges support grassland and scattered oaks.

A 29-year-old Moroccan asylum seeker, formerly living at an asylum home in the German town of Rees, is on the run after robbing several residents of the town and attacking them with an axe.

The first of the attacks occurred on Wednesday at around 9:20 pm when the Moroccan asylum seeker approached a 50-year-old local man and demanded his wallet and cash after brandishing an axe. The man threw his cash at the asylum seeker who only 20 minutes later moved on to his next victim, Tag 24 reports.

The second attack saw the asylum seeker charge at a couple who were driving their car and smash the passenger-side window with his axe. He then told the pair to get out of the vehicle but was met with angry shoutsfrom the male driver who stood up to him.

The 29-year-old then fled the scene and has so far managed to elude authorities who have described him as around 5’9″ tall, wearing a red jacket and a black hoodie.

While no one was seriously injured in the attacks, this is not the first time an asylum seeker has randomly attacked members of the public in Germany with an axe.

Between 1983 and 1997, a low incidence of seasonal allergic dermatitis was diagnosed in sheep in Israel aged eight months to eight years, in 10 flocks of a variety of breeds, but not the local Awassi breed. The 40 affected animals reacted with scratching, biting and vigorous stamping of the feet from April to November each year. The principal skin lesions were hyperkeratosis, spongiosis and infiltrations of eosinophils and mononuclear cells, typical of an allergic dermatitis which was probably a hypersensitivity reaction to biting insects. The epidemiological findings in relation to the area of Israel affected, the breeds of sheep and the distribution of the lesions suggested that the sheep's hypersensitivity was due to the bites of several

FUCK YOU, OBAMA!!!!

So what in the fuck do you expect when you give a soldier a job to do and then put restrictions on how to it and won't give him the tools and people to do the job, asshole?

By JENNIFER LOVEN and ANNE GEARAN, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama rebuked his Afghanistan war commander for "poor judgment" Tuesday and considered whether to fire him in the most extraordinary airing of military-civilian tensions since Harry Truman stripped Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his command a half century ago.
The White House summoned Gen. Stanley McChrystal to Washington to explain disparaging comments about his commander in chief and Obama's top aides. The meeting set for Wednesday was a last-ditch moment for the general once considered the war'sis to protect his country from its government.” - Thomas Paine

Chase surprises his family by returning a few days early from his deployment, but has a hard time adjusting to life back on the post.of delicate talks between senior U.S. and Mexican officials that culminated in dual announcements after a meeting in November in Houston. Both sides characterized it as a unilateral move by the Trump administration and Mexican officials have made clear that they do not endorse the policy.

The three-judge appeals court panel cited Mexico's position to reject the argument that asylum seekers were at risk.

The judges said the "likelihood of harm is reduced somewhat by the Mexican government's commitment to honor its international law obligations and to grant humanitarian status and work permits to individuals returned under the (Migrant Protection Protocols)." In fact, Mexico said Dec. 20 that it would allow foreigners to apply for a work permit, not necessarily get one.

Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain, who was appointed by President Ronald


Regan, offered the strongest backing for the administration's position. Judges William Fletcher, an appointee of Bill Clinton, and Paul Watford, who was named by Barack Obama, were more critical.

The American Civil Liberties Union, Southern Poverty Law Center and Center for Gender & Refugee Studies sued over the policy.

Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said remarks by two of the three judges give reason to believe that the policy will eventually be halted but also raised concern about the impact of Tuesday's decision.

"Asylum seekers are being put at serious risk of harm every day that the forced return policy continues," he said.

Justice and Homeland Security Department officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Tuesday, and neither did Mexico's Foreign Relations Secretary officials.

On the walking path near where Queen Avenue meets the perimeter drive around the lake, there is an "elf house" carved into the base of an ash tree. For several years, one could leave a letter for the elf supposedly living there and find a letter in reply sometime in the next few days. During the winter, the elf door is shut, and a plank appears stating he has "moved to his castle in the east." It reopens in the spring.

of them. McCourt testified they were placed in one or two piles (he couldn't remember which) and taped together with scotch tape furnished as a part of the election supplies. McCourt did the taping. The scotch tape was applied to the bottom ballot and brought around the pile of ballots to the top ballot. This was done on both ends of the pile of ballots. McCourt couldn't remember whether the sides of the pile of ballots were taped in the same fashion. Volk testified that the ballots were in one pile and were taped only on the ends. After the ballots were thus stacked and taped they were wrapped in brown wrapping paper and placed in a muslin bag. Both the muslin bag and the wrapping paper borethe signatures of all the judges. This bag had a drawstring which was pulled tight and tied. Volk and McCourt then placed this bag of ballots together with the bags containing the constitutional amendments ballots and the special tuberculosis tax ballots in a grain sack and proceeded to the county clerk's office. The polling place was across *275 the street from the courthouse. On their way to the county clerk's office McCourt and Volk did not stop at any place, the sack was not opened and the ballots were in the same condition when delivered to the clerk as they were when placed in the muslin bag. When they arrived at the clerk's office the county clerk, Mr. Kemp, was still there. The grain bag with all the


ballots was deposited on the floor of a vault and the clerk gave a receipt for the ballots. Volk and McCourt left and as they did so the clock was striking 6:00 a.m. The clerk locked the vault door, which is a steel door controlled by a combination lock, and the door to the office and went home for breakfast.
At 7:45 a.m. the deputy county clerk arrived at the courthouse. She unlocked the door of the office and also the vault door. She noticed the ballot bags on the floor of the vault but did not touch them. At 8:00 a.m. an employee of the county clerk arrived. She was working on tax books and went into the vault to get her books. No one was in thevault at this time. Her desk was located opposite the vault door and as she sat at her desk she faced the vault door. Neither the deputy nor the employee could recall anyone being in the office or the vault prior to 8:30 a.m.
At 8:30 a.m. Kemp, the county clerk, arrived back at the office. He went into the vault and proceeded to put all of the ballot bags in a cabinet which is inside the vault and is referred to as an inner vault or locker. This cabinet has a lock on it and Kemp had the key for the lock. He testified that during the 20 years that he had been county clerk this key had never been out of his possession. The ballot bag for


Marshall Precinct 3 was in the same condition as when deposited on the floor by Volk and McCourt and none of the ballot bags were opened by the clerk or his employees. When all the bags were placed in the cabinet it was locked and remained so locked until the discovery recount.
*276 At the discovery recount the 3 members of the canvassing board were present when the Marshall Precinct 3 bag was taken out of the inner cabinet in the vault. The contents of the inner cabinet had not been disturbed. The lock on the inner cabinet had not been tampered with. The Marshall Precinct 3 bag was taken to the courtroom. The grain bag was tied with a string. The muslin bag containing the ballots was likewisetied with a string. The ballots were wrapped very securely in brown wrapping paper. The ballots were evenly stacked and fastened together very tightly with scotch tape on both ends. Each ballot contained the initial of an election judge. After the ballots were recounted they were re-wrapped in the same brown paper, and the package tied with a string. The members of the canvassing board then signed the brown wrapping paper, placed scotch tape over their signatures, replaced the ballots in the muslin bag and returned it to the grain sack which in turn was placed back in the inner cabinet of the vault. When produced in court on the contest hearing the bags and ballots were in the above condition.

Dr. Robert Bowman, Lt. Col. USAF, ret. flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam and directed all the "Star Wars" programs under Presidents Ford and Carter. His Ph.D. is in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Caltech. He is the recipient of the Society of American Military Engineers Gold Medal, the Eisenhower Medal and dozens of other awards and honors. An executive in industry, he is active in professional societies and has chaired eight international conferences.

Dr. Bowman says: "We are not hated because we practice democracy, freedom and human rights." He points out people in Canada enjoy democracy, freedom and human rights as do the people of Norway and Sweden and their embassies are not bombed. Bowman declares: "We are hated because our government denies these things to people inthe real world.

His ideas, many of them considered bold and outlandish at the time, often became reality. Peter was hugely influential in developing the original visions for projects such as the Thames Gateway, London’s Docklands, Stansted as London’s third Airport, Enterprise Zones, the M25, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (which made enabled the regeneration of Kings Cross and Stratford, and thus made London 2012 possible), Crossrail, HS2, Garden Cities, and plans for better East-West rail across the north.

I had the pleasure of working with Peter on several projects. His vision, foresight and knowledge helped develop the concept of the Thames Gateway as one of Europe’s most significant regeneration projects. I worked with him early in my career on an economic strategy for the Thames Gateway, and later when


remember him being uncharacteristically quiet during one meeting on the challenges of connectivity in the Thames Gateway. At the end he handed me a piece of paper (which carelessly I have since lost) on which he’d sketched a plan for extending the Jubilee Line from North Greenwich to Ebbsfleet to open up a series of major development sites.

Peter was 82 when he died. In his final weeks and months his work became even more prolific (he published hundreds of articles and books during his life). He was always willing to argue against prevailing orthodoxies when necessary (as a Member of Lord Rogers Urban Taskforce, he refused to put his name to the recommendation that our housing growth needs could be met without building on greenfield land). But therewas a real urgency in his last few months. He railed against the emergence of a prevailing view that town planning was a problem and a barrier to growth. In his final book “Good Cities, Better Lives” he argued the UK has much to learn from cities in France, Germany and Scandanavia in long term planning for growth, regeneration and liveability (http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/jan/17/uk-planning-expert-peter-hall-britain-wrong).

The Virginia Lottery approved by voters in 1987. The first games were launched in Sept 1988. In Virginia with all profits were mandated for public education beginning in 1999. Virginia was a founding state in "The Big Game" consortium. Today it's called Mega Millions and is the most available lottery game on earth.Hillary Clinton is under pressure from progressives to pledge never to cut Social Security—and to do it before the New Hampshire primary on February 9.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) launched a new national push this week demanding the former secretary of state confirm her allegiance to the program that provides benefits to roughly 60 million Americans, which she has yet to do. The campaign includes a petition calling on Clinton to make the promise, and will introduce new tactics in the coming days.

"We challenge Hillary Clinton to promise before the New Hampshire Primary that she will never cut Social Security," PCCC co-founder Adam Green said on Tuesday—just a day after the Iowa caucuses unexpectedly ended in a "virtual tie" between Clinton and her chief rival Bernie Sanders.

Clinton


has said she would "fight efforts" to weaken or privatize Social Security. However, as the 2016 presidential election approaches, her ties to Wall Street are still a major concern for many voters, particularly as Sanders gains on her national lead without the help of big-money donors. The senator from Vermont on Wednesday said cuts to Social Security would "of course" not be considered under his administration.

"There is no debate about this among progressives," he tweeted to Democracy for America.

Now, as Clinton angles to claim the "progressive" mantle, the pressure from activists is building.

"Bernie Sanders defied expectations and surged to a tie in Iowa by successfully riding a rising the economic populist tide thatencounters Logan Cale, aka Eyes Only, an idealistic cyber-journalist battling repression and corruption in post-apocalypse America. All this with Creator/JessicaAlba running about in leather pants.

Eventually, Logan calls her to the highest part of her being and she becomes his samurai, taking on the ruthless power-brokers of the new millennium. Max and Logan's odyssey leads them closer to the secret of her past, deepening and complicating their relationship in the process.

At the beginning of the second season, Max frees more of Manticore's experiments, and the show goes from being focused on Logan and Max to more of an ensemble show. For some fans (especially those coming back to watch it for Creator/JensenAckles), the story of Alec (a recently freed [[CloningBlues clone]] of Max's SerialKiller brother Ben) in the second


season was [[EnsembleDarkhorse more interesting than the main plot]]. Fans of the first season and the original characters resented the dramatic transformation of the show's format and the focus on new characters over the series leads. There is still heavy tension between the two factions.

After the show's cancellation, its intended plot was continued in the novels ''Skin Game'' and ''After the Dark''. There was also a prequel called ''Before the Dawn'' and a book called ''The Eyes Only Dossier'' with extra information about the show's universe and new subplots.

Co-created and produced by ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' director Creator/JamesCameron (Cameron also directed the final episode, his only dramatic TV effort to date and the only scripted work he shot between ''Film/{{Titanic}}'' and ''Film/{{Avatar}}''); what causal relationship exists between this seriesand Cameron's intent to turn the similar manga ''Manga/{{Gunnm}}'' into a live film is unclear. As well as ''Gunnm'', the series has also been accused of excessive similarities with Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/{{Friday}}'', also about a genetically-engineered woman in a future where the United States has broken up.

Side note: This series got dropped (by Fox) in its second year in favor of ''{{Series/Firefly}}'', causing some fan-wars on the internet. The fact that ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' was also dropped/mishandled by that network is a lesson in ExecutiveMeddling. What's more, the ''Dark Angel'' cast & crew were told by Fox that they had been picked up for a third season only two days before it was

get to see a woman on TV who speculates that transgenics shouldn't be allowed to live, as they are the creations of man and so have no souls. The creepy smile on her face just makes things all the worse.* FanService: Creator/JessicaAlba. That is all. (One of many, many examples: the opening shot of "Fuhgeddaboudit" [[MaleGaze as the camera pans up Max's legs in a]] ''[[MaleGaze very]]'' [[MaleGaze short skirt]].)* FantasticSlurs: "Trannie" for transgenics. Where have we heard that before?* FlashStep: The X5s, occasionally. It's called "blurring".* FramingTheGuiltyParty: In "Art Attack", a gangster commits murder by defenestrating his victim, thus making it look like suicide.

Lydecker splits the difference between this and EnemyMine.* HeroWithBadPublicity: Eyes Only is considered a cyberterrorist by the corrupt authorities. Max herself is the key to saving humanity from the Familiars, and she and her fellow transgenics are the targets of public hatred after being outed.* HistoryMarchesOn: 2009 came and went, and no computers got fried. The economy did turn sour, but not to such an extreme degree as in the show.* HitmanWithAHeart: Subverted with Bruno Anselmo, who Max reluctantly has to protect in "Red". He's a disgusting, morally repugnant douchebag who is only testifying against the corrupt mayor because he wants his daughter to have one reason to remember him as something other than a disgusting, morally repugnant douchebag. And


genetic code can be used to immunize regular humans. The cult aren't too happy to discover this.** The transgenics settle down in "Terminal City", a part of Seattle where biocontaminants were accidentally released from a lab when its containment was immobilized by the Pulse, because they can survive there and humans can't.* InLoveWithTheMark: See BecomingTheMask.* InformationWantsToBeFree: Logan's shtick as Eyes Only, except of course when it comes to his own identity and those of his operatives.* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Alec's reason for telling Asha to forget about the possibility of a relationship with him.* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Zach and Max employ this on Lydecker in a first season episode.

Bush-loving,]] "bip-bip-bip"-ing dispatcher Normal at Jam Pony. He hates the messengers in his employ (with the notable exception of Alec), they hate him, it's a puzzle how he even got in this business. He gets better eventually.* MixAndMatchMan: All the transgenics have DNA culled from various humans and animals (which animal depends on the type) so that they have peak physical and mental abilities. As far as is known, none looks exactly like any human donor.* MonsterOfTheWeek: Season 2. But only rarely a villainous monster. Season 1 also had "monsters of the week" in the sense of criminal threats that were dealt with in the space of one episode.* MusclesAreMeaningless: It's Creator/JessicaAlba with enhanced strength.** "Pollo Loco" writer Doris Egan relates on her livejournal that one of


the producers objected to casting JensenAckles as an X5 because he wasn't very muscular. Egan pointed out that they were following this trope for X5s, and the producer obliviously advocated a DoubleStandard.* NeuroVault: Episode "The Kidz Are Aiight". The X5s were taught how to do this at will. Zack buries the locations of his siblings in his mind so that Manticore torturers can't extract the information.* NeverFoundTheBody: Lydecker, after "Proof of Purchase". He [[spoiler:survived]], as seen at the end of ''After the Dark''.* NiceGuy: Although Logan can be a bit cocky at times and is very bitter about his paralysis, he is usually kind-hearted and has principles.** Logan's physical therapist Bling is quite possibly the nicest guy on the show, and OnlySaneMan when it comes to Max andLogan's relationship issues.* NoNameGiven: Most Jam Pony employees go by nicknames, it seems. Original Cindy (Cynthia [=McEachin=]), Sketchy (Calvin Simon Theodore), Normal (Reagan Ronald), Herbal Thought, Druid.* NoSocialSkills: The X6 teenagers seen in "Bag 'Em" display this, having been released into the world in 2020 after spending their whole lives in Manticore.** Alec, despite being in a similar situation, was much more worldwise because he had been trained for infiltration and assassination missions. Still, flashbacks in "The Berrisford Agenda" show that while he could converse normally about most things while undercover, he had no clue about romance until he experienced it firsthand. Which is funny because in the present day he's a HandsomeLech.* NotBloodSiblings: Subversion, Max and Zack are only siblings in the sense of being from the


same unit at Manticore, but she's still {{squick}}ed when he makes a ({{Brainwashed}}) move on her. Doesn't stop fans from {{shipping}} Max/Zack or Max/Ben. Or Max/Alec. Although Alec isn't from Max's unit, he's a clone of Ben, who is.* NotSoDifferent: Alec and Season 1 Max. Both are opportunistic, are pulled into the 'hero business' when they'd rather be indulging in petty crime, and keep themselves at a distance from others. Actually pointed out in Season 2 episode ''The Berrisford Agenda''.* NotWearingPantsDream: Max has one in "Boo" in which she is naked just before she wakes up.* NotWearingTights* ObfuscatingDisability: Once used by Logan. He's a real paraplegic most of the time, but an easily hidden exoskeleton allows him to walk.** After receiving a blood transfusion from Joshua, he ceasesabout Max's neurological condition, and they throw away her tryptophan tablets, thinking they're recreational drugs that Max is addicted to. ''Then'' they confront her about it. Rather than coming clean about her condition, Max leaves without a word. Logan has to set them straight later.* PutOnABus: Kendra, who moved into her boyfriend Walter's home, allowing Original Cindy and Max to become roommates.** At least her disappearance was explained; what happened to [[TheScrappy Asha]]?** Neither Herbal nor Bling return for Season 2, although Bling returns in the novels (as does Asha).* RageAgainstTheReflection: Alec, in "The Berrisford Agenda". Ben also has a moment where he glares at his reflection, but he doesn't punch it.* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Detective Ramon Clemente in the finale.* ReplacementGoldfish: Lydecker kept some of his dead wife's DNA


alive in Max, though she is not an exact clone - "More 'inspired by'. You have her eyes". Creepy.* TheResolutionWillNotBeTelevised: Since the show ended mid-plot, two novels ("Skin Game" and "After the Dark") were published to finish the story, in addition to a prequel novel ("Before the Dawn") which feeds into both the Pilot and "After the Dark". "Skin Game" wraps up the siege of Terminal City, while "After the Dark" provides closure to the MythArc. Completing the set is a compilation of in-universe documents called "The Eyes Only Dossier".* RoomFullOfCrazy - Ben had written words from Manticore indoctrination sessions, like Duty, Discipline, and Mission, all over the walls and boxes of a warehouse.* SassyBlackWoman: Original Cindy. Please see TotallyRadical, below.* ScannableMan: All the transgenics except Joshua, whowas first.* SecretProjectRefugeeFamily: Max, Joshua, and Alec develop into one. Intentionally averted by the 12 '09 escapees in that Zack had them split up to making capturing them all harder. Max and Jondy were paired off, but got separated.* SeparatedAtBirth: The X5 twins. Separated ''before'' birth, really. The embryos from the same test-tube were divided and then implanted in different surrogate mothers.* SerialKiller: Ben, Isaac.* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend / HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Max and Logan keep insisting this in both seasons, even though the other characters see right through it and refer to them as a couple.* ShirtlessScene: Alec has one after coming out of a shower.** Also when he is fighting in that cage.* ShootingGallery: with Eyes Only targets, for Zack when he was BrainwashedAndCrazy* ShoutOut: When Original Cindy is moving


in with Max, one of her belongings is a [[XenaWarriorPrincess XENA LIVES!]] poster. This is either because Xena was being cancelled that year or that a show that possibly aired before Cindy was BORN [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything was still popular decades later]].

This is also a James Cameron gag.** In "Borrowed Time", Max and Alec steal the original film reels fromeither one of the ''StarWars'' or ''Franchise/StarTrek'' movies (it's never really clear which, since both of them get the two series confused).** During one of Alec's flashbacks in "The Berrisford Agenda", Rachel starts playing the theme song from the ''{{Peanuts}}'' TV specials during one of her piano lessons.** The female Steelhead, Lux, has retractable razor blades under her fingernails, similar to Molly Millions from ''{{Neuromancer}}''.** Max's clone "twin" is named Sam. [[SamAndMax Where have we heard those two names together before?]] ** There is also an adventure supplement for TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}} with the title ''[[http://shadowrun.understairs.nl/?p=280 Dark Angel]]'', and though both the game and the show are set in near-future Seattle, the adventure was released about a decade before the TV show first aired.* SittingOnTheRoof: Max, Ben, Alec, Logan, etc.


Diamond.* TomboyishName: Max, obviously. And her twin Sam and sister Jace. And an X6 who chooses the name Ralph, which [[HypocriticalHumor Max points out]] is a boy's name.** Max, however, could be short for Maxine, like Chris, from Christina, Sam from Samantha, and Alex, from Alexandra, whereas Ralph isn't usually short for anything.* TotallyRadical: Watch with the sound off. This is an incredibly beautiful, very cinematic series, whose dialogue tries so hard to be Young and Hip that it may actually cause brain damage.* TrueCompanions: Max, Original Cindy, and Sketchy.** Max, Alec and Joshua in season 2.* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture* TykeBomb: The X5s again. Abused {{TykeBomb}}s.** Also the X7s.* TheUnmasquedWorld: by the end of the series, the existence of transgenics is known to the public and the identities of thesite, trademarks are property of their respective owners.

Who is Orange?

The company were one of the most prosperous UK networks when the Pay as you Go boom happened in the late 1990s. Along with Vodafone and One2One (later renamed as T-Mobile), It had a large share of prepay customers as the UK got to grips with mobile telephony.

The company offered a 3G network as well as providing a 2G network to its customers. The 2G network was also used to support Three’s network offering, which was 100% a 3G network when it was launched.

Orange and T-Mobile Merger

In late 2009, Orange and T-Mobile joined forces to become the UK’s biggest mobile operator, with over 28 million customers. This merger was later rebranded as Everything Everywhere and then later as EE.

Location and connections of visual cortical areas in the cat's suprasylvian sulcus.
The initial aim of the experiments described here was to identify and quantify the cortical and thalamic connections of visual cortical areas located in the vicinity of the suprasylvian sulcus. Inputs to various sites in this region were studied by making small injections of wheat germ agglutinin (conjugated to horseradish peroxidase) at physiologically identified locations. Retrogradely labeled cells were counted in each identifiable area of cortex and in thalamic nuclei. Some injections yielded quantitatively similar distributions of labeled cells, and it is suggested that such evidence provides a useful way of dividing the cortex into areas. By this criterion, a single, relatively large, cortical area was identified that occupied most of the medial bank of the suprasylviansulcus, all or most of its posterior bank, and a small segment of its lateral bank. It was referred to as the Clare-Bishop area. Because neighboring visual areas were found to lack input from area 17, while the Clare-Bishop area received a strong striate input, its boundaries were investigated by labeling afferents from area 17. Together with the results of retrograde tracer injections, these data suggested that the Clare-Bishop area cuts across several of the visual areas defined physiologically by Tusa et al. ('81). As a consequence, its retinotopic organization must be relatively complex, with duplications of some parts of the visual field. Three other visual areas were tentatively identified on the basis of their distinctive connections. One was situated on the lateral bank of the suprasylvian sulcus


and appeared to border the Clare-Bishop area laterally. Another, referred to as area 21, lay adjacent to area 19, and, for part of its length, also appeared to bound the Clare-Bishop area. The third, corresponding approximately to Heath and Jones's ('71) posterior suprasylvian region, lay lateral and anterior to the Clare-Bishop area in the depths of the posterior suprasylvian sulcus.features convenient one latch tailgate opening on the dumping cargo bed as well as Lock&Ride® integration for a variety of specially made accessories to get work done faster and get back to riding.

Regaining Australia's equine influenza-free status: a national perspective.
The first cases of equine influenza (EI) in Australia were reported in late August 2007. By 14 March 2008, provisional freedom from EI was declared and in December 2008 Australia was officially declared EI-free, 12 months after the last reported clinical case. Containment, and ultimate eradication, of EI was achieved through a combination of movement restrictions, zoning, vaccination and enhanced biosecurity measures that drew on the resources and expertise of industry and state and federal governments. Through these measures, the EI outbreak, which peaked in October 2007, was contained to just 3% of Australia, with no new cases reported after 9 December 2007, just four months after the outbreak began.he's cleared, the plan is for the former four-star recruit to visit Aggieland officially for the Auburn game and enroll at TAMU in January. The 6-3, 310-pound defensive tackle will have five years to play four, just like a traditional high school signee, and will count back toward the Class of 2015.Moton addresses one of the few lingering needs for this year's recruiting cycle, as the Aggies have been searching for the right guy — and preferably someone with legitimate SEC West size — to add to the defensive interior. He was a very highly regarded prospect coming out of Louisiana a year ago, holding offers from the likes of A&M, Bama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Florida State and Ole Miss, among others.A quick, powerful and very disruptive defensive


tackle, he was also a no-brainer take at the position once he was cleared to return to the open market.Because he'll be here for an entire offseason and take part in spring ball, the one-time Alabama commit has instant-impact potential in an Aggie DT rotation that will be looking to replace seniors Alonzo Williams and Julien Obioha following this season.In five games as a senior at Woodlawn (he missed a few because he transferred high schools), Moton lived up to his four-star status by totaling 54 tackles, eight TFL, five sacks, three forced fumbles and a one fumble recovery returned for a score.Moton will only add to the Ags' ever-improving inside stable and give Chavis another big-bodied, physically superior interior lineman to team with Daylon Mack, Zaycoven Hendersonsheriff known to

Senior lawyer Indu Malhotra's elevation to Supreme Court has been cleared by the government

Highlights Indu Malhotra expected to take oath as a Supreme Court later this week

Was second woman lawyer to be appointed senior advocate by Supreme Court

Of the top court's 24 judges, only one is a woman, Justice R Banumathi

Government sources have, however, insisted that the law ministry felt that the Supreme Court committee did go by the seniority of judges in recommending Justice KM Joseph. It is being said Justice KM Joseph is 45 in the All India seniority of judges and there were other Chief Justices of high court who were entitled to be moved to the top court ahead of him.The collegium, or the committee of judges had taken Justice Joseph's seniority and meritinto account. In its recommendation, it had explicitly noted that he was considered "more deserving and suitable in all respects than other Chief Justices" and senior judges of High Courts for being appointed as Judges of the Supreme Court of India.
