inquiry into a commonly recognized but ill-defined condition that especially afflicted women. The condition labeled as hysteria manifested psychological and somatic symptoms. In other words, the condition affected both mind and body.

On the heels of Charcot’s work, two other researchers produced independent studies regarding hysteria. Their research, focused on the clients in their clinical practice, drew a different conclusion from that of Charcot. They concluded that hysteria was a condition psychologically induced through trauma rather than neurologically induced as Charcot had claimed (Courtois, 1999).

These two researchers drew their conclusions in the same way that archeologists reached their discoveries.

Hacks to Finding and Pursuing Your Gift with Dr. Art McCoy

In this episode of HACKED we had the great privilege of talking with Dr. Art McCoy, Superintendent of Jennings School District, nationally recognized education consultant, and author.

His story is very unconventional, but very motivating. He began his career at only 19 years old, reportedly as the youngest certified teacher in the State of Missouri, as a high school math teacher. In 2016, he became Superintendent of Jennings School District, which has achieved 100% graduation, career, and college placement in 2017 and 2018.

He is considered a champion for students and an inspiring education leader, in fact, he has led over 120,000 students in the St. Louis region


biological relationship to Anna.

In the course of researching Anna’s husband, Frank Bergen, it was discovered that Frank’s mother’s maiden name was Harriett Vandusen. A 1916 photograph that had been handed down within the family showed Nancy Clapper with two women who our research showed were sisters, Priscilla Vandusen (who never married) and Julia (Vandusen) Pickard.

Julia, Priscilla and Nancy. Long Island, 1916.

Three Vandusen sisters – Priscilla, Julia and Harriett – are listed with their parents in Brooklyn in the 1860 federal census. Harriet does not appear in the 1916 photo – she died in 1905. But why was Nancy Clapper in the photo?

Was Nancy also a Vandusen? It was just a hunch. A hypothesis, based on circumstantial evidence. Pure speculation. But we had run out of better ideas, sothis hunch seemed worth investigating.

Although Nancy, born in 1832, was the right age to be a Vandusen sister, we couldn’t place Nancy in an early census with the Vandusen family. Nancy married William Clapper in 1856 (according to the 1900 census), and the Vandusen family could not be found anywhere in the 1850 federal census.

At a temporary dead end researching Nancy, we turned to her husband William H. Clapper (1834-1900). His probate file mentioned his siblings’ names and gave their street addresses, which we used to find them in the 1900 census and discover their years of birth. This information made it possible to place William with his family of origin and trace the Clapper family a generation further back in the census. In 1855, a year before


somehow ended up in Missouri, where he served the United States in the Civil War and earned his U.S. citizenship. Family tradition holds that when he married Louise Johnson he was 30 years old, she only thirteen. Louise’s father, a medical doctor, thereupon disowned Louise – not because she’d eloped at such a tender age, nor because she’d married a foreigner. The reason her family shunned her, as my grandmother understood it, was because Victor was a Yankee.

Family tradition has it that Victor’s ancestral surname was neither Mesborn, the name that appears on his military records and gravestone, nor Meslin, the name he used after the Civil War. But none of the Meslin grandchildren remembered his “real” name. My grandmother believed that Victor’s surname was incorrect on hisin which he mentions the name “Victor.” That letter spurred me to continue looking for a connection between my ancestor, Victor, and this Francis Meslin.

In his pension application, Victor stated his place of birth was Salins-les-Bains, Department Jura, France. Through the LDS Family History Library, I obtained and searched microfilmed birth records from Salins-les-Bains and located a birth record for Victor MEZALAINE, born 30 January 1843. His mother was Jeanne Henriette Colin (French pronunciation would sound something like “Co-lah”), wife of Michel Louis Mezalaine. Further research into the birth registry of Salins-les-Bains revealed that Jeanne Henriette was the mother of nine children, eight of whom (including one Francois Xavier “Francis” Mezalaine/Meslin) would later emigrate to the United States. She was the same “Enrietta” who married Claude Barbier in


1855. (Catholic baptism, marriage and burial records maintained by Saint Mary’s of the Barrens Church in Perryville, Missouri, which were later translated and published by the Perry County Historical Society, provided crucial details about this group of Nineteenth-Century French immigrants).

So although Victor does not appear with the family of his mother in the 1860 or 1870 census, it is clear that his mother and many of his siblings emigrated from France around the same time that he did. But could he have traveled separately, as a stowaway?

The family tradition of Victor stowing away in a ship was finally refuted when we found a passenger list, showing “Jeanne Melin” and her children crossing on the ship Old England from Le Havre, France, arriving in New Orleans on 21 October1852. There is a “Victor,” age eleven, on this list. Several of Victor’s siblings are also named on the list, including his sister Marie Camille, who would later marry fellow Old England passenger Jean Claude “Red” Meunier/Moonier.

“She was Disowned for Eloping with a Yankee, at the Age of Thirteen”

The tradition that Louise was only thirteen years old when she married Victor appears to be valid. Her death certificate gives 26 August 1859 as her date of birth, and census research identified her as one year old in the 1860 census, making her just two months past her thirteenth birthday on the date of her marriage in 1872.

But her father, Elijah Johnson, could not have “disowned” her for marrying Victor, as her father had died in 1864 (his estate


to question everything, to assume nothing, and to never stop documenting.

My Civil War-era ancestor, John Henry Wilson (1823-1905), was one big brick wall. Back in the mid-1980s my great-grandma Winnie (Wilson) Mesplay had given us his photograph, with some handwritten names penciled on the back, and told us he had been a teacher and Justice of the Peace in Jasper County, Missouri. She thought he may have been a soldier during the Civil War, but she didn’t know where he came from or anything about his military service. He died in 1905, five years before the state of Missouri started making death certificates.

I already knew how to research Civil War pension files for Union veterans, but we didn’t even know what side John Henry Wilson fought on. Andpages were destroyed in a fire in 1921 at the Commerce Department building in Washington, DC. Well, it’s true. For many families, the twenty-year gap between the 1880 and 1900 census records creates a serious roadblock in research. But several “fragments” of the 1890 census survived, and one of the most useful sections of the remaining 1890 census are the Veterans’ Schedule pages, which are searchable on both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org.

I had already found my third great-grandfather, John Wilson, in the 1900 census. He was listed in the household of his recently widowed daughter-in-law, Ida (Coffer) Wilson, my second great-grandmother, and her five young children (including my great grandma Winnie, who was seven months old). His place of birth is given as “Virginia” – and Virginia is also


given as the place of birth of the father of Ida’s children. (He was John Wilson’s son, Henry Plummer “Plum” Wilson, my second great-grandfather).

Since John Henry Wilson was in Jasper County in 1900, I decided to look for him in the same place in the 1890 Veterans Schedule. This schedule includes the name of the veteran (or his widow), his rank, company, regiment, dates of enlistment and discharge, and information about any disability.

The census taker for Carterville, who enumerated 12 pages of veterans, may have been confused about which veterans he was supposed to record. He (or someone) drew lines through several of the names and marked “Conf.” beside those names. Confederates.

So, John H. Wilson was a Confederate veteran. But beside his name, the spaces for his companyMy charts showed my father’s father, B.I. Martin, was born there in 1919, the son of two Martins – Charlie Martin and his wife Agnes (Martin) Martin, a third cousin. Charlie and Agnes’ common ancestors, Moses and Philadelphia Martin, were themselves first cousins. Moses and Philadelphia’s grandfather, Isaac Martin (1720-1774), is said to have been the less-distinguished brother of General Joseph Martin, a patriot of the Revolutionary War.

My dad, who grew up in his mother’s hometown in Missouri, never knew his father. B.I. Martin had been stationed in Japan shortly after WWII and died there in a boating accident. As an adult, with no connection to his father’s side of the family, my dad had researched the Martins at the Patrick County Historical Society and Museum in Stuart,


Virginia. It was through the historical society that he contacted kin, borrowed and copied old family photographs, and located gravesites. Together we scanned and labeled Martin family photos going back four generations. I posted some of the photos to my family tree on Ancestry.com, and connected up with other distant relations.

I found a cousin online, Connie, who shared stories passed down from her mother about great-grandmother Harriet. She’d been the mother of ten children, nine of whom lived to adulthood. (Martin women, it has been said, would give birth in the morning, then go and prepare a lunch for their family at noon).

In Harriet’s later years she was stern with the little ones, maybe as stern as she looks in her photographs. As the local midwife she assistedthe county doc at childbed, and she laid out the dead for burial. And when Harriet decided it was time for her to retire from midwifery, the doc retired, too.

I was fascinated by Harriet Bowling Martin’s story and by her ancestry. The Bowlings of Southern Virginia can claim descent from Major John Fairfax Bolling (1676-1729), the great-grandson of Virginia colonist John Rolfe and his wife Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan.

But one day in April 2012, not long after the 1940 census had been released to the public by the National Archives for researchers to access, I made an unexpected discovery. I was searching 1940s-era records in Ancestry.com, hoping to find a city directory showing the street address of my father’s mother. (The 1940 census had not yet been


man and wife. It appears he did not know that his 19-year-old step-daughter – my grandma – was already three to four months pregnant.

By the time my dad’s birth certificate was recorded with the state, four years later, his mother was married to her second husband, B.I. Martin. The man named on my father’s birth certificate was not Dad’s biological father.

I never did see much resemblance, now that I think about it, in those old Martin family photographs.

A older relative of mine (a very, very distant relative, indeed!) needed some help researching her family history. Both her parents were born in New York City in the 1910s (her father in Manhattan, her mother in Brooklyn), and although she’d been using Ancestry.com and had a lot of information, therein different years from the U.S. (federal) Census, so the state census can supplement the information from the federal census records, filling in gaps and answering key questions such as a person’s age and occupation, his or her place of birth, and where a family was living on a given date. The 1892 New York state census is incredibly crucial if you’re researching this time period, since the 1890 federal census was almost entirely destroyed.

"It moved from a centralized organization to a series of local-actor organizations and (now) it's trying to reassert itself as a network of local-actor organizations that are trying to connect to each other."

U.S. forces have killed dozens of al-Qaeda's top deputies, and Navy SEALs killed its former chief Osama bin Laden, prompting President Obama on the campaign trail last year to declare that al-Qaeda is "back on its heels" and no longer much of a threat.

John Brennan, Obama's then-counterterrorism chief who now runs the CIA, had said the network's local franchises proliferating across North Africa and the Mideast were more focused on regional concerns than attacking the West.

surprised that al-Qaeda still remained such a threat.

After all the effort expended by the U.S. military to weaken core al-Qaeda and its strongest affiliates, "to see one part of this group is gathering transnational or trans-regional reach again is very disturbing," Jacobson said.

The threat shows that al-Qaeda continues to be a fractured terrorist organization based in regional groups and conflict, but it adapts and still represents a global threat to the United States, said Juan Zarate, a deputy national security adviser under President George W. Bush who's now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

"We're witnessing another chapter of the terrorist threat and we'll be living with this for years to come," Zarate said.

Al-Qaeda's networks are adapting to new opportunities and to pressure put onThat would require U.S. pressure on allies to block foreign fighters, and making sure the victors are democratic Syrians who are not Jihadists.

"That requires resources and political will," Zarate said.

Administration officials have "not been as strategic as they could in terms of how the landscape is shifting ... (and asking) how do we prevent these groups from coming back in the future," Zarate said. "Longer term strategic thinking is what I think has been missing."

In the past year alone, Islamic radicals, many of whom are affiliated with al-Qaeda, have injected its fighters into several conflicts throughout the Middle East and Africa, and mounted numerous attacks.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq was decimated by the end of the Iraq war in 2009, according to the Institute for the Study of War. But


it has regained control of many of its former staging areas and the ability to launch weekly waves of multiple car bomb attacks, say Jessica Lewis and Ahmed Ali at the Institute.

More than 1,000 people were killed in Iraq in July, the highest monthly death toll in five years, says the United Nations. Most of the attacks are against Shiites, considered apostates by the Sunni Muslim-led al-Qaeda.

In Syria, al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al Nusra is a combat force that has been fighting with some success in several battles against the regime of Syrian dictator Assad. The force reports directly to al-Qaeda chief Ayman al Zawahiri, according to Frederick W. Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute.

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has mounted terror attacks from Algeria for years but hasexpanded its operations in the wake of the overthrow of strongman Moammar Gadhafi in Libya, Kagan said in testimony before Congress in July.

Two al-Qaeda associated groups in Mali - Ansar al Din and the Movement for Tawhid (Unity) and Jihad in West Africa - took control of northern Mali and began a drive on southern Mali that was eventually halted by French forces.

Jihadist violence has also spread to Mali's neighbors, including Niger.

In Libya, al-Qaeda affiliated terror groups have been blamed for the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consultae in Benghazi that left the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans dead.

In Yemen, al-Qaeda leaders in strongholds in the country's south have not been vanquished by a Yemen military backed by U.S. forces and drone strikes.

challenge. But, as Melcer and his colleagues looked more closely into the issues they could face, they realized that the problem was broader than foreign interference. Russia’s campaign in the United States demonstrated that fake personas on social media could influence events. In Israel and elsewhere, political parties and their allies realized that they could use similar techniques to spread anonymous messages on the Internet and on social media to promote their candidates and undermine their rivals.

The use of fake online personas has a long history in Israel. In the mid-two-thousands, an Israeli company called Terrogence used them to infiltrate suspected jihadi chat rooms. Later, Terrogence experimented with covertly influencing the jihadis they targeted. More recently, companies in Israel and elsewhere started using fake personas to spreadmessages on behalf of political parties and their allies.

Laws governing Israeli election campaigns, which date back, in their original form, to the late nineteen-fifties, bar political parties from disseminating messages anonymously in print, on the radio, and on television. But the laws were never updated to cover messages disseminated online.

Around the world, countries have addressed social-media manipulation in different ways and with varying degrees of urgency. U.S. lawmakers have criticized Facebook, Twitter, and other major social-media companies for allowing Russian misinformation to proliferate on their platforms. But Congress has taken few steps to address the issue, wary of impinging on free-speech protections.

An early proponent of modernizing Israel’s election laws was Tehilla Shwartz Altshuler, a law professor and senior researcher with the nonpartisan Israel Democracy Institute. In 2018, some


has never had a social-media account. (Israeli rules prevent sitting justices from having them, a government official said.) His first major decision as chairman of the Central Elections Committee, in late 2017, was to reject a proposal to deploy, in limited numbers, computerized voting machines, citing concerns that the systems could be vulnerable to hackers.

In the United States, election oversight is divided between state and local authorities and a patchwork of federal agencies and intelligence services. The disparate organizations, by tradition, do not readily coördinate with one another, though efforts have been made recently to change that dynamic. Israel’s more centralized system of using senior Supreme Court justices to administer elections dates back to the country’s founding. Melcer, who is required to retire from the court in twoafter reading various books about free speech in the Internet age, including a 2016 work by Eric Barendt, an emeritus professor of law at University College London. (Reached by phone, Barendt said he had never spoken to Melcer and was unaware, until I called him, that his book had played a role in the Israeli elections.)

After the political parties failed to reach a voluntary agreement, Melcer imposed a ban in late February. Likud had the option of challenging Melcer’s judgment by filing a petition to the Supreme Court, but chose not to do so, effectively accepting the decision.

In January, representatives from Facebook and Google met separately with Melcer in his private chambers, where he presented them with a choice, similar to the one he gave Israel’s political parties.

Former leader responds to ousting as rebels deny they acted out of revenge

AS the motion calling for his resignation as the leader of East Staffordshire Borough Council was carried, Councillor Richard Grosvenor was left with feelings of sadness and betrayal.

This was personal, he thought, and that was upsetting and disappointing.

“We have done, as a group, so much for the borough in the last five years. We have made mistakes, but we have made them with the best of intentions.

“For me, last night was not about how the council was run. It was personal,” the former leader told the Mail yesterday, after he was overthrown by a motion supported by Labour and Independent members of the authority. A year ago, the four Independent councillors – the so-called Tory Rebels– had been part of his own leading group.

Just before the motion was discussed, councillors approved a balanced five-year budget. No other council in the UK has that at the moment, he said.

Councillor Grosvenor was accused by colleagues on the authority of being a bully and a dictator; something with which he took great umbrage.

“If I was those things, it wouldn’t upset me, but I’m not. If I was, I’d be in a group of one. Ignore your members at your peril,” said the councillor, who has been leader of the council since 2009.

He blamed the self-interest of the Tory rebels, claiming he tried to work with them last year, but the olive branch offered by himself, the Conservative Association and other members of the group, was not


Childcare voucher scheme issues

The Tax-Free Childcare Scheme (TFCS) was launched in April 2017 and opened to all remaining eligible families with children under 12 on 14 February 2018. The new scheme allows working parents to receive a government top-up on their contributions. For every 80p in the £1 contributed by parents an additional 20p or 20% will be funded by Government up to a maximum total of £10,000 per child per year.

In tandem with the introduction of the TFCS the government had announced the closure of the existing employer childcare voucher scheme to new entrants from 5 April 2018. However, in March 2018 the government confirmed that the childcare voucher scheme and directly-contracted childcare would remain open to new entrants for an additional 6 months, until 4 OctoberI don’t get why it was even changed in the first place as the score used here is far more effective. Other changes are some of the deaths scenes. For instance Jamie (J.C. Brandy) doesn’t get killed by Michael in the opening act, but instead is killed later in the film while in a coma by the Man in Black. The death has drawn mixed feelings, but one thing I sort of agree with on those who prefer her P-Cut death is Michael never gets her. At some point throughout the series, Michael killed just about everyone, but while he got Rachel and even Laurie he never managed to kill Jamie. John Strode (English) also has a different death and Beth (Mariah O’Brien) is basically the same only

Opening of the new regional park at two former riding stables in Litchfield is planned for September 2012. A new recreation center at Parkersville and new facilities at Retreat Park will open in December 2012.

Construction will start this December at Parkersville and in February at Retreat Park, between Waccamaw Middle and Intermediate schools.

Groundbreaking ceremonies at Stables Park and the recreation center took place more than six months ago, but this is the first word on when construction might start in more than a year. Recreation officials predicted in early 2009 that tennis courts in Litchfield would be open by the end of that year.

will be complete in this initial phase.

At Stables Park, 10 tennis courts, a club house, four multi-purpose fields and “quite a bit of drainage work” are included in the first phase, Goggans said. The park will eventually have 20 tennis courts. An additional multipurpose field, dog park and playground are also on the list of future additions.

Entrance to the park will be through the Summergate development south of HealthPoiunt, Goggans said, with other access points eventually being added from Petigru Drive and Ford and Parkersville roads.

Initial work at Retreat Park includes two baseball fields with concession areas and scoring towers.

The recreation center at Parkersville will be 26,500 square feet and include a full basketball court, a half court, climbing wall, aerobics and weight lifting areas, a senior centerand serving kitchen.

The county closed its Pawleys Island senior center in Parkersville nearly three years ago due to low attendance. Area seniors who want to participate in programs and activities the county offers now have to take a bus to the center in Georgetown.

There were about a dozen seniors who used the Parkersville facility. The closing of an adult day care at St. Elizabeth Place in January 2010 sent eight more seniors to the center in Georgetown.

The recreation projects are part of Georgetown County’s long-range capital improvement plan, which County Council approved in 2007.

The county purchased property for Stables Park in early 2009 and planned to hire a design firm to create the plans for parks countywide later that year, but a dispute during the bidding process caused

It is easy to harp over his failed tournament campaign but it is truly unfair to ignore Superbon’s near-pristine record in the last 2 years. From 2016 to 2017, he amassed 14 back-to-back wins on his professional record. During this period, Superbon continued to represent Thailand in the IFMA amateur world games where he racked up 3 gold medals. In February this year, he received the Best Amateur Thai Boxer award in Thailand for his outstanding performance.

2016 proved to be a notable year when Superbon bounced back from the previous loss to old foe Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong and began his ascent to the crowning glory. He bested Sitthichai along the waymeaning are inextricably intertwined. Work by Tatjana Schnell from the University of Innsbruck (here and here) shows that a sense of meaning can have a profound influence on our well-being and degree of happiness. Five years ago, Schnell developed a framework to chart typical existential outlooks, a four-category matrix that can be summarized like this:

Meaningfulness : High meaningfulness and low crisis of meaning

: High meaningfulness and low crisis of meaning Crisis of meaning : Low meaningfulness and high crisis of meaning

: Low meaningfulness and high crisis of meaning Existential indifference : Low meaningfulness and low crisis of meaning

: Low meaningfulness and low crisis of meaning Existential conflict: High meaningfulness and high crisis of meaning

So according to the first category, some people assign a high degree of meaning to


Crisis : 24.95%

: 24.95% Meaningfulness : 23.15%

: 23.15% Indifference: 20.34%

So being in conflict leads to more searches for the meaning of life than simply having a crisis (though only slightly). Unsurprisingly, the researchers also learned that indifference led to the lowest degree of search.

Interestingly, high search for meaning in life correlated with lower life satisfaction, and lower subjective happiness, compared to medium and low search for meaning in life. And as the researchers noted in their study, “individuals who are in a state of existential conflict but are also only weakly searching for meaning exhibit the same levels of happiness as individuals in the meaningfulness group.”

This raises some serious questions about whether or not the quest for meaning in life is a productive endeavor. Clearly, it’s an uncomfortableGOP presidential candidate Donaled Trump visits Canton

Trump gets more good polling news. Cleveland schools get bad news. And John Boehner lands his dream job. Read more in today's Ohio Politics Roundup, brought to you today by cleveland.com's Andrew J. Tobias.

Suffolk poll finds Trump up in Ohio: It's been a good week for the Donald Trump campaign. A Bloomberg-sponsored poll released on Wednesday showed him with a five-point lead over Hillary Clinton in Ohio. And a CNN/ORC poll later in the day showed him up four.

Well, a new poll released Thursday by Suffolk University showed Trump up on Clinton, 42 percent to 39 percent.

The results are well within the


poll's 4.4 percent margin of error, but Trump's repeated strong showing in other polls conducted during the same time period bolsters the Suffolk poll's credibility. An interesting finding: asked who they thought would win, 45 percent of voters said they thought Clinton would win, while 37 percent said Trump. That number was 20 percent in other battleground states the university had previously surveyed.

The perception of who will win and lose can have a powerful effect on voter behavior, which could explain some of Trump's increased standing in the polls.

Nate Silver flips Ohio for Trump: The polling guru's FiveThirtyEight.com had projected Clinton's chances of winning Ohio as high as 80 percent on Aug. 14. But on Thursday, the website flipped its prediction for the first time since late July.electoral path to the White House is still tough. Finally, the race remains volatile as a large percentage of voters remain undecided.

On the other hand, Trump's recent performance shows that he is still in this thing, despite earlier indications. It remains to be seen whether Clinton is bottoming out. Moving on...

#Millennials, Pt. 1: Chelsea Clinton appeared in suburban Columbus on Thursday to tout her mom's college debt plan, cleveland.com's Jeremy Pelzer writes.

"Speaking to about 100 supporters at a newly opened Clinton presidential campaign office, Chelsea Clinton said that unlike ... Donald Trump, her mother "actually has plans" to address student debt," Pelzer writes. "Hillary Clinton has proposed a plan that would allow students from families making up to $85,000 per year to attend a four-year public college or

Dream job: Former U.S. Speaker John Boehner has a new gig, according to USA Today's Deidre Shesgreen.

"Former House Speaker and unrepentant smoker John Boehner has joined the board of tobacco giant Reynolds American Inc," Shesgreen wrote. "The former West Chester GOP congressman is widely known for his cigarette habit -- he generally smokes Camel Ultra Lights, which are made by Reynolds -- as well as his close ties to the tobacco industry."

State report card slams Cleveland schools: The Cleveland Metropolitan School District, in the throes of a levy renewal campaign, got some not unexpected bad news on Thursday, The Plain Dealer's Patrick O'Donnell writes.

"The Cleveland school districtwas slammed with straight Fs on new state report cards released this morning, even crashing in the one report card measure that would offer some hope of improvement," O'Donnell wrote.

"The poor grades come as the district seeks a renewal of a giant tax increase that voters passed in 2012. In the campaign for that tax, Mayor Frank Jackson and district CEO Eric Gordon promised improvements and told voters to reject a renewal if the district did not show progress," O'Donnell wrote.

Cleveland was one of seven schools to receive an F.

School spin: In a statement to O'Donnell, CMSD CEO Eric Gordon said: ""The results, while disappointing, are not unexpected. Scores have dropped statewide after the state changed its tests for the third time in three years and again raised


the thresholds for proficiency."

Cleveland wasn't alone: Schools across Ohio saw their grades drop after the state, due to a combination of state testing changes and increased expectations, according to O'Donnell.

"For the 2013-14 school year, the state awarded 37 A grades for Performance index," O'Donnwell writes. "This year? Just two."

Click away: Cleveland.com's Rich Exner compiled the state report cards into a searchable database for the 608 schools districts that received a grade.

Poverty down, wages up in Ohio: New numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show Ohio's median income rose by 3.5 percent while its poverty rate fell by 1 percent last year, according to the Columbus Dispatch's Alan Johnson.

The changes mirror a national trend.

Feds deem Ohio 'high risk': The U.S. Department of Education is releasing a $71 million charter-schoolgrant to Ohio, but not without some strings attached, the Columbus Dispatch's Jim Siegel writes.

"Federal officials are requiring the Ohio Department of Education to hire an approved, independent monitor to oversee the state's use of the funds and implementation of special conditions placed on the grant. Specific federal approval will be required each time money is spent," Siegel wrote.

The extra scrutiny comes after questions were raised over the application of the state's grant application. School-choice official David Hansen, who drafted the application, resigned last year after it emerged that he had omitted failing grades from state charter school sponsor evaluations.

Buzzkill: Cleveland City Council this week imposed a one-year moratorium on granting licenses to medical marijuana businesses here, cleveland.com's Leila Atassi reports.

"The city ordinance was introduced at Monday night's


council meeting and says that council needs more time to figure out how to handle licensing and how such operations would affect the city's overall land use plans and public safety," Atassi writes. "The piece has been referred to council committees, the finance department and the City Planning Commission for review."

Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri blamed the impasse on the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, which has voiced its strong opposition to the Egypt-brokered talks. Abu Zuhri said that in response, the Gaza-based terrorist group was escalating its protests in new locations along Gaza’s borders with Israel.

     On September 1, 2009, Terry Holliday, then an inmate in the custody of the State of
Tennessee Department of Correction (“TDOC”), was injured while assigned to a work detail
in Lauderdale County, Tennessee. Immediately prior to being injured, Holliday was riding
with other inmates in the bed of a pickup truck driven by a TDOC officer. As the officer
accelerated the truck to go up a hill, the truck hit a mound of dirt, and Holliday fell out of the
truck and was injured. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where tests
revealed that he had fractured multiple ribs. He was released from the hospital and returned
to the prison the same day but continued to experience severe pain in his chest in the days
that followed. OnSeptember 19, 2009, Holliday was taken back to the local hospital where
further testing revealed blood inside his lungs. He was immediately transported by
ambulance to a hospital in Nashville where he underwent surgery to remove several liters of
coagulated blood from his lungs. Holliday spent approximately two weeks recovering from
the surgery at the hospital in Nashville before being taken back to the prison. He was
released from TDOC custody in July 2010.

        On May 27, 2010, Holliday filed a notice of a claim for damages against the State of
Tennessee (“State”) with the Tennessee Division of Claims Administration. On August 25,
2010, the claim was transferred to the Tennessee Claims Commission (“Claims

Things have changed. And yet, things have stayed remarkably the
same. The band is playing Not Fade Away to a sold-out Cotton Bowl
crowd. I remember my first encounter with The Rolling Stones when I heard
a Fairbanks, Alaska DJ play a brand new song called Not
Fade Away. I was a freshman in high school and Kennedy was still
alive. As the song climbed on the charts, I became convinced that this
was it. Music! This was what I wanted to do. When my family moved back
to Arkansas, I took the earnings from a summer job mowing lawns and bought
a white Vox Mark VI guitar exactly like the one Brian Jones played. When
he turned up face down in a swimming pool some years later, it briefly
crossed my mind that I was never goodat picking role models.

A decade went by. I put my music dreams
on hold and went to architecture school instead. By the time I graduated,
my once treasured Vox guitar had been relegated to a dusty corner in my
parent's attic. I moved to the West Coast and attended my first Stones
concert. It was a warm late-Summer evening in Seattle. I remember walking
to the concert in Seattle Center, because it was just down the hill from
my apartment. There were no giant stages, just a ten foot plastic inflatable
thing that looked like a big condom. It was considered provocative then,
although in an era where a major touring show can easily fill 35 semi-trailers,
it seems hard to remember why now. The music was good in Seattle Center.
Life was simple. I didn't have a


Army by my parents. Brian Jones had been forgotten
as well, replaced by Ron Wood. Everything about the Stones seemed very
corporate this time around. The band had a sponsor for their gargantuan
Steel Wheels tour and the novelty of the concept caused a bit of an outrage,
even though everybody would have tour sponsors just a few years later.
Steel Wheels was the zenith of an analog rock world that was going to
be shortly transformed by computers. Although I didn't realize it at the
time, I was at the zenith of what was to be a short and rocky corporate
life as well. I flew to Europe to do commercials. Stayed at the Beverly
Wilshire for weeks at a time editing in Los Angeles. With lots of ad agency
connections, I had easy access to thebest seats in the house, courtesy
of Showco, the sound company for the tour. True to form, I squandered
this generous gift and jumped into the stadium infield pit to watch the
concert packed like a sardine with a solid carpet of very rowdy fans.
By the time the band launched into a spirited rendition of Jumping
Jack Flash, I had wormed my way to within fifteen feet of the stage.
I never realized I was witnessing the end of an era.

A few years later, promoters would
start making people go through metal detectors just to get inside the
stadium. As the 80's ended, I no longer walked home alone after midnight
from public events. And I no longer jumped into the infield crowd at rock
concerts. It wouldn't be long before I abandoned the inner city entirely.
A


year or so after the Steel Wheels tour rolled through Dallas, I absent-mindedly
tossed some trash into the dumpster behind my townhouse and startled someone
inside who immediately jumped out of the dumpster and began screaming
at me. Evidently I'd hit the guy in the head with my garbage while he
was rooting around looking for bottles and cans. He said it was his
dumpster. Ironically, if we'd met just a few years later, after they started
dispensing Prozac like candy, this bi-polar dumpster dweller could have
had a whole new life as one of my ad agency co-workers. Six months after
this unnerving experience, a very nervous policemen emptied all six rounds
from his service revolver into a suspected car thief outside my bedroom
window and I reluctantly moved to a safer part of town.

Safety was evidentlythe teenagers looked distinctly embarrassed to be seen arriving at
a major rock concert in the back seat of their parent's minivan.

It was an eerie feeling indeed as the
rain got heavier, blending subtly with the computer controlled smoke machines,
lasers, pastel vari-lites and fifty-foot tall inflatable apparitions of
Elvis Presley and what appeared to be a giant Aunt Jemima. As the familiar
chords rang out and the crowd roared when Mick started to belt out "Please
allow me to introduce myself" there was this very visible moment where
the entire audience realized that no introductions were necessary. We
knew each other well. We had all grown up together. Our turn at the wheel
was just about over, but for the moment, we were still in charge.

And as I looked into the eyes of

drugs is still a "black box," Luo said, as it is with other drug-delivery systems, but tests show that the cargo is delivered. The researchers loaded DNAsomes with a fluorescent dye and introduced them into a culture of hamster ovarian cells. Microphotos showed the ovarian cells glowing under ultraviolet light. Notably, the researchers found, the cargo had been delivered both to the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cells, an important consideration for multiple drug delivery, since different drugs might have different targets in the cell. In later experiments the researchers verified the ability of DNAsomes to deliver multiple drugs as well as siRNA.

DNAsomes are named by analogy with liposomes. The suffix --some comes from a Latin word meaning "body."

The lead researcher on the study is Young Hoon Roh,who was a graduate student in the Luo group and has just received his Ph.D. David Muller, professor of applied and engineering physics, and his research group collaborated in the project. The research was supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Science Foundation (NSF). One of the participating graduate students is supported by a Royal Thai Government Scholarship. Some of the work was performed at the Cornell Nanobiotechnology Center and the Cornell Center for Materials research, both supported by the NSF, Cornell and industrial affiliates.


Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by inexorable muscle weakness leading to death. The principal pathological finding in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is loss of nerve cells in the anterior horns of the spinal cord, the motor nuclei of the brainstem, and the upper motor neurons of the cerebral cortex. Investigations aimed at preventing or limiting progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have thus focused on the mechanisms by which neurons degenerate. A transgenic mouse model has been developed that possesses many of the pathological and clinical features of human familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to mediate neuronal loss in other neurodegenerative conditions, several groups have investigated the role that NO may play in disease progression | in theThe 21st Annual Greek Festival will take place from Friday to Sunday, October 12 – 14, 2018, at Francis Field in St. Augustine's historic district.

Their graphics are still the illustrated realistic stills of previous instalments, though this time there are a lot more scenes out in the open. You will see buffalo running wild on the North American plains, as well as the forts and camps put up by the white man in your homeland. Conversations are displayed with full upper body representations of the person speaking, with animated faces for the dialogues themselves. Other animations are limited to silhouettes, such as a group of braves waving their weapons in victory. These are fully voiced to a good standard, with accents appropriate to the characters and distinct voices for each individual. Background music is native panpipe music that fits the setting well.

With the educational focus, the story of the game centres aroundtiny portraits brought up in dialogue. Whilst not hugely detailed, these show clear characteristics, from a prison guard in a metal helmet to a man with a cabbage for a head.

I've applied most of the grease to the underside of the frame rail completely filling the top inside corner. This is critical along the length of the rails because most of the force of recoil lifts the slideand applies force backward and upward against the underside of the frame rails. Also notice how there is a greater amount of grease near the muzzle end of the gun than there is at the rear. This is intentional. There is only so much space in the tolerance of the pistol for lubrication to reside. Since the slide goes on back to front it'll push the remaining grease to the back of the frame and bunch it up on the back of the slide whenA West Virginia assistant principal accused of harassing a transgender student won an appeal to get his job back Monday.

The Harrison County Board of Education voted to reinstate Lee Livengood after voting unanimously last month not to renew his contract at the end of a three-year probationary period, news outlets report.

County Schools Superintendent Mark Manchin said Monday's decision was difficult and followed "a lot of discussion."

In November, Livengood allegedly followed transgender teenager Michael Critchfield into the boys bathroom at Liberty High School and said, "You freak me out." Critchfield said Livengood also ordered him to prove his gender by using a urinal.

The American Civil Liberties Union's West Virginia chapter has pushed the county for diversity training to prevent similar incidents.

The ACLU said in a statement Monday that Livengood


"has demonstrated he is incapable of conducting himself in a professional manner in any environment with children, and he has shown a troubling lack of remorse for his actions. We will be actively monitoring the situation to ensure Michael and the students of Harrison County are protected moving forward."

Livengood's attorney, Alex Shook, had argued that his client was unaware of Critchfield's gender identity and was not told of an arrangement Critchfield had with the principal to use the boys restrooms.

According to Critchfield, the school band was preparing to take an after-school bus trip to Morgantown in November to watch a performance at West Virginia University. Critchfield said he went to the bathroom and checked to see if anyone was standing at a urinal before he went into athe bruise on the palm of Molina's right hand. The injury occurred when he blocked a pitch Wednesday, and he said it likely would have kept him out of two or three games anyway.

Molina said the spittle was unintentional but apologized for his tantrum. Along with the suspension, he was fined an undisclosed amount.

He became incensed after getting called out on strikes by plate umpire Rob Drake in the 10th inning Tuesday night in Milwaukee. After being ejected, Molina kept bumping his chest into Drake, and some spit flew into the umpire's face during the dispute.

"I'm sorry about it for our fans, the people in St. Louis and our organization," Molina said. "That's not me. I'm a good guy. I was caught up in the moment. That's what


LaGrange is among several Southern cities to deny utility accounts entirely to its undocumented residents by requiring Social Security numbers. The state and local NAACP, the Southern Center for Human Rights, and Project South filed suit in May 2017 against the city over both policies, alleging racial discrimination under the federal Fair Housing Act.

After I started pitching the story to national outlets, I learned LaGrange had been in the national news—but not for this. In January 2017, the LaGrange Police Department became the first in the country to publicly apologize for a lynching. In 1940, a group of white men dragged 16-year-old Austin Callaway from the local jail and lynched him. The police department was complicit, the local media buried the story, and no one was ever arrestedof denying people utilities over unpaid court debts, nor would any city official consent to an interview about the policy for my story after months of pleading. This culture of silence, says Ward, is familiar in LaGrange: Those in power simply decline to respond to questions about the utility policies. This culture has its roots in slavery and the Jim Crow era, in LaGrange and many other places: In the case of lynching, law enforcement and the media failed to demand justice and were even directly complicit in them. Some newspapers advertised these racialized murders, publishing times and places for future lynchings. An overwhelming silence contributed to this corrupt culture: for Black people, it was driven by fear; for white people, it was driven by racism and, sometimes,


event in LaGrange’s terrifying racial history.

For white-run media to play a different role today in covering institutional racism than it did 100 years ago, it would need to face its own internalized white supremacy.

This neglect on the part of newsrooms compounds the violence of the past. During the Jim Crow era, many white people believed lynchings, though bad, were justified, just as many whites today believe policies that disproportionately harm Black and Brown people simply represent fairness and rule of law. As a result, coverage of lynching often advocated a forgive and forget mentality. One article on the lynching of George Taylor near where I live in Durham, in 1918, was headlined “Was to Be Expected,” referring both to the lynching itself and to the refusal of localalmost extinguished light.

Vulnerable to IEDs But Impervious to Pentagon Budgeteers

The M1 Abrams entered service in 1980, but first saw combat during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. That experience suggested that, on the battlefield at least, one of the only things that could destroy an Abrams was another Abrams; only seven of the tanks deployed in the operation were destroyed, all by friendly fire.

In the last decade, however, as hundreds of the vehicles were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, a key shortcoming became apparent: The Abrams’ design made it vulnerable to improvised explosive devices (IEDs). As a result, the Abrams in Iraq sometimes ended up being used as “pillboxes”—high-priced armored bunkers used to protect terrain rather thanPAC and employees since 2009, when he became the committee’s top Republican. Holly did not respond to emails and phone calls seeking comment, and committee spokesman Claude Chafin said McKeon has consistently argued that it is fiscally smarter to keep the Abrams work going than to stop it.

Podesta also assigned the GD account to two former House Appropriations Committee aides. One of them, Jim Dyer, confirmed that he lobbied on the tank this year, but he directed other questions to General Dynamics. GD also hired firms that assigned its account to six other lobbyists who once worked for the relevant committees, and to a former Pentagon official who had served as the department’s liaison to Congress.

that a new study by James Turner at the University of Virginia finds that the earlier estimate is about ten times too high. From The Daily Progress:

Researchers at the University of Virginia say the reported death rate of college students due to drunken driving is grossly overrated, according to a study released Tuesday. Dr. James C. Turner, executive director of UVa Student Health, and a team of researchers have spent more than three years studying data from colleges across the state. Their work suggests drunken driving caused only a fraction of the deaths of college students in 2007, the year they studied. Turner's findings, which appeared in a recent Journal of American College Health (JACH), show that DUI-related death rates among college students in Virginia were between 1.7Ukraine is facing the biggest displacement crisis in Europe since the Balkan Wars in the 1990s.

This was stated by International Organization for Migration (IOM) Ukraine's Chief of Mission, Dr. Thomas Lothar Weiss, the press service of the organization reported.

"Ukraine is facing the biggest displacement crisis in Europe since the Balkan Wars. Over 3.4 million conflict-affected people in Ukraine require humanitarian assistance," Weiss said.

According to him, since 2014, IOM has assisted nearly 280,000 IDPs and conflict-affected people within its humanitarian, economic empowerment and social cohesion programs and is committed to continue.

At the same time, the report notes that the employment situation for IDPs deteriorates.

Thus, the average income for an IDP has also continued to fall since December 2017. By June 2018 it had fallen to less than UAH 2,100,


corresponding to their qualifications, and discrimination by employers on the basis of their age or IDP status.

In addition, research shows that healthcare has become unaffordable for many IDPs due to the cost of medicine and services.

IOM has been conducting surveys on the situation of IDPs in Ukraine on a regular basis since March 2016. The research presents integrated data of face-to-face and telephone interviews with IDPs, returnees, key informants and people crossing the contact line as well as focus groups discussions. In the latest, 10th round, conducted in June 2018, a total of 2,406 respondents were interviewed face-to-face, and 4,006 by telephone.

As reported, more than 1.5 million internally displaced persons are officially registered in Ukraine.

FOOTBALL: Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says there is still plenty of work to do in the knockout stage of the Champions League despite a 4-1 success in Basel earning the Gunners top spot in their group.

A Lucas Perez hat-trick helped the Gunners home in Switzerland, meaning they will avoid Barcelona and Monaco, the two sides that have eliminated them in the past two seasons, as well as Atletico Madrid and Napoli.

But teams that Wenger's team can be drawn with include Bayern Munich, which knocked them out in 2013 and 2014, and one of Borussia Dortmund or Real Madrid.

"We can still have a difficult draw,” Wenger said.

"But there's less guilt when you finish first in the group because you feel you haveMom says bullying of her daughter at Bonita school shows law doesn't go far enough

The Lee County School District, like all districts in Florida, has adopted a bullying and harassment policy. Districts were required to adopt policies to comply with the Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up for All Students Act, a bill named after a Cape Coral teenager who killed himself after being bullied.

"Every day that I would pick her up, it would be worse. I told them, ‘It's a problem because every day I pick her up she is crying and telling me she hates going to school,'" Jennifer Waters said of her daughter.

BONITA SPRINGS _ Jennifer Waters remembers watching her daughter cry daily when she picked her up from school.

The Bonita Springs mother recalls her daughter, now


a fifth-grader at Spring Creek Elementary School, telling her about being threatened by another student and being told she was part of a "pathetic club," among other insults.

After months of complaining to school officials — she said it was once suggested to her that she have her daughter change schools — and an incident in which the bully gave her daughter a cookie that caused a severe allergic reaction, Waters had enough.

Now, she hopes her experience will show that while school districts in Florida are working on bullying, they aren't doing enough.

"Parents need to know their kids are safe at school," she said.

The Lee County School District, like all districts in Florida, has adopted a bullying and harassment policy. Districts were required to adopt policies to comply withlast straw, Waters said, came when the school called her to pick up her daughter when they believed she had chicken pox.

"She had red bumps all over her body, but she had the chicken pox vaccine," she said. "I knew what it was. The bumps were hives and she was having trouble breathing. She's allergic to cinnamon."

In the 2007-08 school year, which is the last year for which the state has data, there were 809 incidents of harassment in Lee County public schools, including 226 reports of bullying. Those figures were down significantly from the 1,032 incidents of harassment reported by the district in 2006-07.

Collier County had 158 incidents of harassment in 2007-08, including 56 incidents of bullying.

Waters got her daughter an antibiotic, which


the bullying, Waters said, and she filed a police report, that the school started to listen. Eventually, students in Waters' daughters class came forward and talked about the bullying they had seen.

Waters said she had to be told by her daughter of what happened and that the school eventually told her the girl admitted what she had done to Waters' daughter.

But when she asked what happened to the student, the school wouldn't tell her what happened except to say that the girl was punished.

The Lee County School District's policy said consequences for students who commit acts of bullying or harassment can range from positive behavioral interventions up to and including suspension or expulsion. However, the district's policy provides that notification will be consistent with the student privacy rightsunder the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, which doesn't allow the district to disclose the student's record without permission of the parents.

"Our primary goal is to work toward resolving issues that ensure the safety and security of students in schools, free from fear of bullying, to provide safe, positive learning environments for all. This stands true for all students, both the victim and alleged bully," Butler said.

The district also has to report the incidents to the state. In the 2007-08 school year, which is the last year for which the state has data, there were 809 incidents of harassment in Lee County public schools, including 226 reports of bullying. Those figures were down significantly from the 1,032 incidents of harassment reported by the district in


2006-07.

Comparatively, Collier County had 158 incidents of harassment in 2007-08, including 56 incidents of bullying.

"Our primary goal is to work toward resolving issues that ensure the safety and security of students in schools, free from fear of bullying, to provide safe, positive learning environments for all. This stands true for all students, both the victim and alleged bully," said Tom Butler, press secretary for the Florida Department of Education.

Still, Butler said the law required school districts to submit their bullying policies for review by Oct. 1, 2008, and all policies were approved by December 2008. So the 2008-09 figure represents about a half-year's data under the new bullying policies.

"The 2009-10 (report) will not be finalized before March 2011, but the preliminary state total for 2009-10 is 6,134 andsaid she had a meeting with school officials who offered to move her daughter to another campus. It was an offer she said she was horrified to receive.

"Why does my daughter have to leave? She's the victim. The girl who did this to her should be the one to leave," she said. "After everything my daughter's been through, they want to take away her friends? She did nothing wrong."

When asked if it would be easier to remove her daughter from a bad situation, Waters said she doesn't want to teach her daughter to run away from problems.

"Why should she have to finish elementary school somewhere else when she did nothing wrong?" she asked.

Instead, when she was informed by school officials that they wouldn't be removing the other girl,

President Donald Trump took a moment in his history-making summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un to show off his presidential limousine.

Trump and Jong-un had just finished off a working lunch when the American president appeared to make an unscheduled stop at the huge armored car, known as The Beast.

News footage showed the world leaders approaching the American flag bedecked limo, before Trump gestured to the car and a Secret Service agent opened the passenger door.

The North Korean leader smiled as he was allowed a rare look inside the $1.6 million vehicle which is designed to survive a military-style or chemical warfare attack. The car travels everywhere with the U.S. president and flies in the belly of his plane when he's abroad.

Trump and Jong-un had just finished off a working lunch when the American president appeared to make an unscheduled stop at the huge armored car, known as The Beast

The move appeared to top off what was seemingly a successful afternoon of talks.

Trump sounded optimistic, saying: 'We had a really fantastic meeting.'

'A lot of progress. Really very positive. I think better than anybody could have expected. Top of the line. Really good,' he said.

The Beast, or Cadillac One, is President Trump's iteration of the presidential limo.

The power move is likely to have impressed Jong-un who, despite his nation's isolation, has a taste for American culture and Western luxury.

Growing up, attending an international school in Switzerland,


friends remembered the dictator as a basketball lover, who was a big fan of Michael Jordan.

He also has his own version of The Beast, a $2 million armored Mercedes Benz S600 which even has a portable toilet, according to the Washington Post.

On Tuesday morning, Trump's motorcade was the first to pull into the Capella Resort in Singapore, which has been closed to outsiders for days out of extreme precaution.

Jong-unwas not far behind, after making the under-fifteen minute drive from his hotel to Sentosa island along a route filled with gawkers.

They began thesummit with a hearty handshake, exchanging pleasantries for the cameras and meeting one-on-one for 38 minutes with only translators present while the world watched with anticipation as the first-ever meeting between a U.S. president and a North Korean leader unfolded.

The leaders were treated to a six-course meal that included three deserts – including Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream – at their historic summit.

It was the kind of gut-busting meal that could bring mutual camaraderie – not that either leader is watching his weight.

'Get a good picture everybody so we look nice and handsome and thin. Perfect,' Trump told photographers and a TV crew at the start of the lunch.

The Beast weighs eight tonnes and has eight-inch thick steel doors that weigh the same as those on a Boeing 757

Kim reportedly has packed on weight so he could emulate his powerful grandfather. Trump notched just below obese in his first White House physical and is trying to lose 10 to 15 pounds.

Diplomats had just weeks to put together the Singapore summit, settling on an elegant – and substantial – meal for the two leaders at their 'working lunch.'

Following their lunch, Trump and Jong-un took the sojourn to take a sneak peak at The Beast which was parked outside.

The Beast weighs eight tonnes and has eight-inch thick steel doors that weigh the same as those on a Boeing 757 - and are sealed to withstand biological and chemical attacks.

The front windscreencan withstand armour piercing bullets or a .44 magnum and the bodywork is military grade and five inches thick.

The reinforced undercarriage with withstand going over a roadside bomb and the fuel tank is explosive resistant.

Only the driver's side window can open in case he needs to pay a toll - and in the boot are cases of the President's blood for an emergency transfusion.

APPETIT: The menu included French, Korean, and Singaporese dishes, plus Haagen-Dazs

WHERE'S THE YELLOWCAKE? The menu for the working lunch included six courses

And always nearby is the military aide carrying the 'Nuclear Football', which is the briefcase which stores instructions in case of a military attack.

One of the few times The Beast has broken down was in 2013 when a driver put the wrong fuel into it while on a trip to Israel.

The embarrassing blunder left the Secret Service scrambling to find a vehicle that could take President Obama around Tel Aviv. He was not on board at the time.

Obama's staff had anticipated every eventuality with The Beast and had bought generators and backup equipment - but they did not count on such a basic human error.

Another incident wasnow complained of. The essence of petitioner's appeal is that he was denied a fair hearing in certain material respects.

3
The events out of which this proceeding arose involved an unexplained and sudden plunge of a commercial airliner while on a scheduled flight from Dallas, Texas, to Los Angeles, California. As a result of this near tragedy the Board instituted an investigation, and, because of the facts thus uncovered, a complaint was filed against petitioner wherein it was alleged that on or about October 8, 1947, Sisto, as captain in command of an American Airlines four engine Douglas DC-4, while on a scheduled flight, demonstrated a disregard for the principles of safety with respect to the operation of aircraft and a lack of discretion and good judgment necessary for


the holder of an airman's certificate with airline transport pilot rating, in that he carelessly or recklessly operated said aircraft, endangering the lives and property of others, contrary to the provisions of section 60.1023 of the Civil Air Regulations, by engaging and then disengaging the gust lock mechanism thereby causing the plane to perform half an outside loop. The complaint, after further alleging that he failed to keep his seat belt fastened, contrary to regulations, prayed that his airman's certificate with airline transport pilot rating be revoked or suspended.

4
Petitioner filed an answer which in effect amounted to a general denial and requested a hearing. On December 5, 1947, he received notice that the hearing would be held on December 17, 1947. But on or about December 12, 1947,another notice dated December 9, 1947, was received changing the date to December 19, 1947. In the same envelope was a further notice that a motion would be made to amend the complaint in four respects at the commencement of the hearing. This notice contained a general statement of the nature of the amendments.4 Nothing further transpired until December 19, 1947, when the case came on to be heard, and the aforementioned motion to amend the complaint was made. Petitioner objected to the amendments on the ground that, although according to the respondent's regulations5 he was entitled to have them at least fifteen days before hearings thereon, he had had only seven days' notice. He also objected on the ground that they were irrelevant and prejudicial. The amendments,


and holds the ailerons, elevators, and rudders in a neutral position thereby rendering it impossible to manipulate those surfaces. Under no circumstances is it supposed to be used while the plane is in the air, and for anyone to do so while the ship is in flight demonstrates a reckless disregard for the principles of safety and for the lives and property of others.

10
A narration of the instant accident can best illustrate what may happen when a gust lock is engaged while a plane is in flight.

11
The aircraft had started into a gradual climb. Beck, the trainee pilot, was at the controls being checked out on his first flight in this type of plane. Logan, the co-pilot, was in his seat. Sisto, who was captain in command, wasin a jump seat just behind and to the right of the pilot's seat. Beck following normal procedure in such cases sought to compensate for the climb by adjusting the trim tabs.23 These trim tabs operate in exactly the opposite way from the control surfaces, that is to say, when the pilot wants to bring the nose of the plane down he adjusts the trim tabs so they turn up. This in turn forces the main control surfaces down thus leveling off the ship. But the gust lock was engaged, and, therefore, they operated as auxiliary elevators, causing the plane to climb even more steeply, until the gust lock was disengaged and freedom of movement was restored to the control surfaces. As soon as this happened the trim


tabs resumed their normal function, and the result was a sudden sharp nosing over of the aircraft and thereafter a precipitous dive earthward. Luckily, when the plane went into its dive, Beck and Sisto who did not have their seat belts fastened, on being thrown to the ceiling of the ship along with the forty-nine passengers and two stewardesses, struck the controls which feathered the propellors on three engines thereby reducing the power of the dive so that Logan whose seat belt was securely fastened was able to bring the plane under control after a drop of several thousand feet.24

Not a penny of the cost for


the statue will come from public funds.Campaign co-ordinator Emma Chesworth said: “There are many remarkable women who lived and do live in Middlesbrough and this campaign aims to highlight their tremendous achievements.“I am delighted so many people took the time to read about the shortlisted women and place their vote. All too often, women are erased from history and their achievements never known or given the recognition they deserve.”Ellen Wilkinson was born in 1891 and was elected Labour MP for Middlesbrough East in 1924, serving until 1931. In 1925 her campaigning saw the amending of anomalies adversely affecting widows in the Pension Bill. She returned to Parliament in 1935 representing Jarrow and leading the Hunger Marches.

And having mentioned Ewen, I should also acknowledge Cathy O’Toole who is also here.

The absence of the Prime Minister and the Minister is certainly a disappointment to both of them, and perhaps to you, but it is I must confess, welcomed by me, as it gives me a chance to re-live those events of 50 years ago that I remember so well.

In the second half of 1964 military conflict in Southeast Asia had required the Australian Government to give further consideration to Australia’s Defence posture.

And although Military Chiefs of


the day had recommended Mornington Peninsular in Victoria as the site for the new base, Townsville, with a fine strategic history from WWII, was eventually chosen by Prime Minister Holt’s government as a proper location for the consolidation of our military capability.

Military elements were not the only consideration. As Mr Holt said at the base opening about the decision to choose Townsville:

“the development of the North, the security of the North, the fact that the people of the North had a right to feel that in their area big things were moving which were contributing to the growth of Australia. These were the considerations which came to our minds when we considered the technical problems. And so the decision was taken, and I am sure it was adecision we in Australia will never regret.”

How correct he was.

So On 26 November 1964, the Minister for the Army, HON AJ Forbes, announced to Townsville’s civilian community that construction on a new base among the northern slopes of Mount Stuart would begin.

The name Lavarack Barracks was chosen by Prime Minister Harold Holt, in honour of Lieutenant General Sir John Lavarack, former chief of General Staff, and Governor of Queensland from 1946 to 1957, who had served with distinction in both WWI and WWII.

Nearly two years later, on this very day in 1966, Lavarack Barracks was officially opened, at which occasion Prime Minister Holt acknowledged not only the support that the North Queensland Community would receive from the establishment of the Barracks, but also how much support the Community


of course, Australia’s north had strategic appeal and the opportunity to train in terrain similar to that found in Southeast Asia.

On the 23rd of October 1966 the then US President Lyndon Johnson – or LBJ as he was known – came to Townsville with Prime Minister Holt in a display of the firm and enduring alliance that continues today between our two countries in the fight for freedom and democracy. While here the President reminisced about the time he had spent in Townsville as a young naval officer in 1942.

Remember that in 1966 most people in Townsville still recalled the Garrison city that Townsvillle became during the Second World War.
