Watters also stated that after the search, Conners, who was present, was very concerned that some of his personal legal papers were mixed in with the items seized in the search; Conners was allowed to look through all the items prior to their removal from the house.
Conners was convicted on both counts. He waived his right to a jury trial on the prior convictions, and the court found them to be true on November 8, 2006. A probation and sentencing hearing was scheduled for November 30. On November 14, 2006, Conners requested counsel for sentencing. A bar panel attorney (Jerry Fernandez) appeared on November 15 and told the courtclosed the 83rd Legislative Session. September 1 marked the day when 10 brand new state laws from the last session hit the books.

Among some of the topics addressed in the latest crop of Texas laws were education for veterans, penalties for public school accountability and funding and operation of juvenile justice systems.

Researchers funded by BBSRC have developed chickens that are genetically modified to prevent them from spreading bird flu to other chickens. If this genetic modification is introduced into poultry flocks in the future it has the potential to protect the health of the birds and so increase the production of meat and eggs. It could also reduce the risk of bird flu epidemics that can lead to new flu outbreaks in the human population.

The study, which the researchers say is the first step in developing chickens that are completely resistant to avian flu, was published last night in the journal Science. The work was carried out by teams based in The Roslin Institute, an institute of BBSRC, at the University of Edinburgh and in thefor infectious diseases of livestock to "jump to humans and become pandemic". This, he says, "has been identified by the Government as a top level national security risk."

Dr Laurence Tiley, Senior Lecturer in Virology who led the team that developed the inhibitory transgene at the University of Cambridge said "Chickens are potential bridging hosts that can enable new strains of flu to be transmitted to humans. Preventing virus transmission in chickens should reduce the risk posed to people exposed to infected birds."

To produce these chickens, the scientists introduced a new gene that manufactures a small "decoy" molecule. In this case, it is a short length of a type of molecule called ribonucleic acid, or RNA. Dr Tiley explained that "the decoy mimics an essential part of the flu

The Amnesia: Collection is a compilation of three first-person horror games which offer plenty of jump scares and moments where you question the protagonist's sanity. Beforehand, the titles were only available on PC or PlayStation 4, but it seems like that's about to change. While the Amnesia: Collection may feature dated visuals because the last entry launched in 2013, the gameplay still holds up years later.

Today, Xbox Wire released a list of games coming out next week, and Amnesia: Collection is among them. This is surprising because many gamers thought that they would never come to Xbox One. However, with acclaimed console exclusives like No Man's Sky going multiplatform, it seemed likely that other games would follow suit.

TheAmnesia: Collection consists of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the Amnesia: Justine expansion, and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. The Dark Descent follows a man named Daniel who wakes up without any memories in a ruined castle. He has purposely erased them and is being hunted by a "shadow". In order to escape, he has to kill the owner. The game is quite surreal because there are a lot of hallucinations and tricks involved. Due to the dimly-lit environments, you never know what's around the corner or where you should go. Justine is an expansion for The Dark Descent. Again, a new character has no memories and has to escape a castle. However, this time around there are more puzzles to solve and an even more complex story. The


evil in her afterlife. She was extraordinarily talented when alive and slaughtered over 70 ministry agents by herself and defeated the head of the Tsuchimiya clan and his spirit beast, Byakuei. As an evil spirit, she becomes even more powerful. She tries to awaken a great demon sealed in Tokyo and seals a piece of the sesshōseki in Nimura Kensuke. For this, she incurs Kazuhiro's wrath and he takes away her own sesshōseki.

Yomi's past is prominently revealed in Ga-Rei: Zero, where she is shown to be more of a tragic heroine. She lost her parents at a young age to specters and was taken in by Isayama Naraku, then head of the Isayama family. Yomi grew to love and respect her foster-father and polished her skills to repaygets angry with herself when she gets closer to Kagura and Kensuke, as she is afraid of becoming too involved. She has been forced to kill from a young age and feels that there is no way out of the path set for her as heir to a criminal organization, explicitly shown after her elder sister, Setsuna, kills their father. This is something Kagura sympathizes with and is a key factor why she wants to help Shizuru.

 There is a competition between her and Kagura to obtain the most sesshōseki, with Kensuke as the prize, but after the Kyuubi arc it is shown that Shizuru accepts the close bond Kagura and Kensuke share and bows out. She left Tokyo with Izuna to look for her own path and


Shizuru's Kuroford on the Spirit Beast Rankings. Nue is the japanese equivalent term for chimera, a mythical beast having different animals as its body parts, like a lion for its head and snakes as tails.

 Shizuru's spirit beast, the second strongest after Byakuei. Kuroford was originally sealed within an iron knife, but Shizuru drew him out. He utilises lighting-based attacks. After Shizuru lost her Sesshoseki to Setsuna, she could not unleash Kuroford. However, her willpower finally drew him out when attacked by the Juugondo in the haunted house.

 A bake-danuki (raccoon-dog with spiritual powers) that can transform into a metal wall with a human face. It is introduced in chapter 16 of the manga, where it protected Kensuke from its mate, which was corrupted by areplica of the photon in the new location. Once the replica changed to reflect the characteristics of the original photon, the original photon ceased to exist, just as would be expected under the theory of quantum entanglement.

The biggest breakthrough in quantum entanglement and teleportation occurred in a 2016 study sponsored by a team of Chinese physicists . Over the course of 32 days, these scientists successfully teleported 911 photons from a ground station in Tibet to a satellite orbiting 500 kilometres above the Earth. Lasers were used to transport one of the entangled photons into space, and entanglement effects were demonstrated through the observation of correlated changes following the measurement of the entangled photon that remained on the ground.

The distances covered in these experiments ranged from 500 to

According to their chancellor, these people who simply wish to live in a country that is recognisably Germany “have prejudice, coldness, even hatred in their hearts”. Yet the number of asylum seekers in Germany rose to 200,000 in the past year – quadruple the figure for 2012 – and immigration reached a 20-year high. There are similar situations across Europe.

Category: Hospital Nursing

Recently, nurses have had a lot to fight for. The plight of nurses and poor working conditions have been increasingly prevalent in the public news circuit thanks to stories like the horrific loss of nurse Lynne Truxillo, who passed away from complications of a patient attack, the fatal med error by a former Vanderbilt nurse, and the narrowly avoided nursing strike in New York City. With the added attention given to these issues and intensifying pressure from nurses across the country, many state legislatures are introducing and debating bills relating to nursing practice, working conditions, and healthcare practices.

In Washington state, SHB 1155 was introduced to protect nurses who work 12 hours and ensure they receive adequate lunch and rest breaks, as well as a limit onmandatory overtime. In an effort to cause problems with the bill, an amendment has been added to mandate 8 hour shifts for nurses, which deviates from the industry standard of 12 hour shifts. This amendment to the bill is widely unsupported by nurses, other healthcare workers, and respected industry groups such as the Washington State Hospital Association. The negative impact would be felt by all patients across the state of Washington and a terrible example would be made for the rest of the country.

Although this is an incredibly important issue, why all the crazy fuss on social media and in the news? The main supporter of the amendment to the bill, State Senator Maureen Walsh, made astonishing comments on April 16th during a floor debate pertaining to her

Paffett extends McLaren deal

McLaren has extended the contract of its test and reserve driver Gary Paffett to include the 2012 season.

Paffett has been in the role since 2005, having been driving in DTM from 2003. He continued to compete in 2005 and won the DTM title, before missing the 2006 championship to be the full-time McLaren test driver. At the end of 2006 he was released by McLaren, but re-signed a few weeks later and returned to DTM in 2007, combining the tworoles ever since. A McLaren press release stated that Paffett would be able to continue driving in the series as part of the new deal.

"I'm extremely pleased to have renewed my relationship with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes," Paffett said. "As everybody knows, success in Formula 1 is developed through the strength and duration of relationships: I've been a part of this team for more than five years, and it's a place where I really feel happy and comfortable, and where I can confidently speak my mind.

"I'm proud that my contribution has enabled the team to remain a race- and championship-winning force in Formula 1, and I truly believe that we'll continue to grow and improve in the future."

Team principal Martin Whitmarsh praised the work that Paffett does in developing


McLaren's cars.

"Gary has become a vital part of our technical support and development team - both at the track and in the simulator," Whitmarsh said. "Both Gary and the team believes that this deal will underline his reputation as a strong development driver and a true team player."Washington (CNN) An assistant secretary of state who played a key role in recent US-Mexico talks has resigned after reportedly clashing with the Trump administration's immigration policies.

Western Australia's Treasurer and shadow treasurer have offered to resign if their parties fail to honour key commitments, as they clashed over proposals for a mining tax and an outer harbour at Kwinana.

Mike Nahan and Ben Wyatt clashed in front of a packed crowd of 580 business executives at a pre-election event staged by the Committee for the Economic Development of Australia.

It was the only direct debate between the two opposing treasury spokesmen ahead of the March 11 poll, with Dr Nahan defending the Government's economic record and Mr Wyatt promoting Labor's credentials for restoring the state budget to surplus.

The WA Nationals want to balance the state's books by charging Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton $5 for each tonne for iron ore mined — a plan they sayrejected the claim and offered to quit if he was wrong.

"Give you a guarantee, if we do a government and we do get a coalition with the Nationals and that party puts together a Brendon Grylls mining tax, I will resign from the Treasury," he said.

It was not long before Mr Wyatt matched his opponent's resignation pledge as the pair clashed over infrastructure priorities.

It began when Dr Nahan criticised Labor's Metronet project, including the commitment to build a rail line to Ellenbrook.

He said unlike the $1.9 billion Perth Freight Link, the Ellenbrook line had not been either prioritised or approved for federal funding by the national infrastructure body, Infrastructure Australia.

"It is a question of why Labor is now committed to that. There's no business case for it," he


Ulster secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup thanks to a 23-6 triumph over Glasgow Warriors on Friday.

Another triumph next week against Castres will secure a home quarter-final for Mark Anscombe's side. A first-half try from Nick Williams along with late second-half scores by Jared Payne and Darren Cave secured the four points and with Northampton beating Castres, Ulster progressed after a scrappy game played in difficult conditions at Ravenhill.

The match left the injury-hit Warriors - who were unable to have two prop replacements on their bench - without a win in a miserable season in Europe. Despite the fears the ongoing flag protests would disrupt the crowd, a chilly and sodden Ravenhill was still packed to the rafters for this encounter which saw themark and Duncan Weir's effort from just inside Ulster's half on 35 minutes - their first bid for points - fell just under the bar. Then just before the break, Trimble's late hit on Henry Pyrgos led to another Weir shot from closer in and again the Warriors fly-half was wide and the half ended with Ulster leading 10-0 with Trimble just failing to hold on to an intercept pass right at the end.

The Warriors began the half with Weir finally getting them off the mark after eight minutes after Pienaar was sacked at a ruck. Then matters took a turn for the worse for Ulster when Iain Henderson was yellow carded for not rolling away and the home side were down to 14 men on 54 minutes


1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a terminal to be pressed into a connector housing and to a connector with such a terminal.
2. Description of the Related Art
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. H08-321342 discloses a connector with a housing and a terminal that can be pressed into the housing. Press-in portions are formed on side surfaces of the terminal.
The number of the press-in portions could be increased in an effort to increase the force for holding the terminal fitting in the housing. However, each press-in portion scrapes the housing and removes resin that could otherwise be engaged by subsequent press-in portions. Thus, the holding forces of press-in portions pressed in later are reduced due to the resin removed as the previous press-in portions on the sameside of the terminal are pressed into the housing. Therefore, the entire holding force is not enhanced considerably.
The holding forces of the later-inserted press-in portions can be enhanced by making the terminal wider at the later-inserted press-in portions than at the earlier-inserted press-in portions. However, the terminal becomes large if too many press-in portions are formed along the pressing direction on one side surface. Further, there is a limit in the dimension of a portion of the housing where the terminal is pressed in. Accordingly, it is difficult to form many press-in portions on one side of the terminal.
The present invention was developed in view of the above problems and an object thereof is to provide a terminal to be held in a connector housing with a larger


The long-term goal of this IDeA Network of Biomedical Research (INBRE) proposal is to enhance institutional capacity for biomedical research and training in the State of Rhode Island (Rl). The RI-INBRE Program is comprised of two research-intensive institutions (University of Rl and Brown University), and five primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) (Bryant University, Providence College, Rhode Island College, Roger Williams University, and Salve Regina University). The University of Rhode Island is the lead institution for the Program and will provide the administrative support, including planning, implementation, and assessment of the Bioinformatics, Centralized Research Facility, and Training Cores, as well as the development of thematic and collaborative research projects. Substantial progress has been made in achieving the long-term goals of the RI-INBRE program during the previous funding period, and thenetwork is thriving. The present grant proposal is designed to seek 5-year renewal of NIH support for the research career development of the junior faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows in the broad scientific thematic areas of Molecular Toxicology, Neuroscience, and Cancer research. While Toxicology has been a focus of the program from the beginning, Cancer and Neuroscience have evolved as the new areas which are consistent with the existing strengths and future plans of the network institutions. The Specific Aims of the RI-INBRE Program for the next 5-year period are to: 1) improve the development of junior faculty members at URI and Brown into independent investigators, 2) assist PUI faculty in developing productive and sustainable student training programs, 3) strengthen collaborative research between PUI and URI/Brown faculty investigators,

book about a girl who moves to California and starts dating a ghost

I'm trying to identify a book about a girl who moved to California and discovered a ghost in her room. She started dating him, and brought him to life. His name Was Jesse, I think. I also remember something about an exorcist or something similar.

A:

Looks like this could be The Mediator, a series by Meg Cabot.
From Wikipedia:

The series follows along with a girl named Susannah "Suze" Simon and her experiences as a teenage mediator - a person who has abilities to see, touch and talk to ghosts... Suze's problem is that she was in love with a nineteenth-century ghost known as Hector de Silva, or what she calls him, Jesse.

And, on the Wikipedia entry for the


first book:

Suze, whose father died when she was six, moves from New York to Carmel, California after her mom's second marriage to Andy Ackerman, a carpenter.

A:

Could this be the Meg Cabot novel, Shadowland (titled Love You to Death in the UK apparently)?

Sixteen-year-old Susannah 'Suze' Simon is a mediator, which means she can see and talk to ghosts. Suze spends a lot of time directing the usually unhappy dead to the afterlife. However, her job is not easy, as not all ghosts want to be guided. Every day, she is haunted by the fact that they will not leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living.
Suze, whose father died when she was six, moves from New York to Carmel, California after her mom'ssecond marriage to Andy Ackerman, a carpenter. She gets three stepbrothers, Jake, Brad, and David, whom she nicknames Sleepy (a senior), Dopey (a sophomore like Suze), and Doc (a seventh grader). However, when Suze arrives at her new home, she finds a handsome, archaic ghost named Jesse de Silva sitting on her window seat. Irritated, she tells Jesse to move on or find some other house to haunt, as now she is living there, but he refuses.

....

Several days later, Heather attempts to kill Bryce again, and is barely stopped by Father Dominic; both men are injured in the process. Furious, Suze returns to school that evening - ignoring Jesse's warnings - and performs a voodoo exorcism, successfully sending Heather to the afterlife. However, as she is exorcised, Heather


In the last few weeks, interest in a YouTube video purporting to show bison fleeing Yellowstone National Park has rocketed around the Internet. The video, which has racked up nearly two million views since publishing on March 20, is titled "ALERT! Yellowstone Buffalo Running for Their Lives!"

The animals are supposedly evacuating themselves in anticipation of an eruption at the park, which sits on a huge volcanic system. Curiosity about the claim was surely fueled by the recent magnitude 4.8 earthquake last month, the largest at the park in 30 years.

But the warning turned out to be a hoax: Yellowstone released its own counter-video with an affable staffer explaining that it’s not unusual for wildlife to leave the park during the winter to seek food. Plus, one spokesman pointed“further the gospel of Jesus Christ.” These include the American Conservative Union Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, Free Congress Foundation, Accuracy in Media, the Federalist Society, and Judicial Watch, among others.

Charity Navigator, the Consumer Reports of the philanthropy world, gives NCF its top four-star rating for efficiency. The Chronicle of Philanthropy notes that it pays out about 40 percent of its assets each year—an astonishing rate, considering the average foundation annual payout is around 16 percent. But donor-advised charitable funds across the board are coming under increased scrutiny by the IRS. Philanthropy watchdogs have also raised questions about foundations that give lucrative business to individuals who serve on their boards—something that NCF does routinely.

Until recently the NCF board consisted of just three directors: Parker plus two

Mumbai: Shopowner held for raping girl

MUMBAI: Police on Thursday arrested a man after an 18-year-old girl alleged that she was sedated and raped by him at his shop.

The accused had hired the girl to work at his shop.

Police force was deployed at the shop after the incident came to the light as there were concerns that it might trigger violence.

The incident occurred around 1pm.

Dinesh Jain, the accused, runs an automobile spare parts shop in Goregaon. He lives in Malad.

Police said that after the girl finished her chores at the shop, Jain invited her to join him for lunch. According to her complaint, Jain spiked her drink. After she lost consciousness, he raped her. When the girl regained consciousness, she realised what had happened. She decided to confide inUntil his arrest last year, one of the biggest forest destroyers in the history of the Amazon oversaw a large and sophisticated criminal network from his base in Sao Paulo’s upper class neighbourhood of Jardins. Wiretaps and field investigations by federal agents have exposed a sprawling operation making millions from agriculture, facilitated by hacking, satellite analysis and slave labour. This piece draws extensively on a profile of the case in Brazilian non-profit environmental news site ((o))eco.

In February 2014, more than 30 Kayapó, an indigenous people living in the Mekrãgnoti reservation in Brazil’s northern state of Para, travelled to Brasilia to denounce illegal deforestation in their lands to IBAMA, the federal environmental protection agency. The Kayapó were eligible to receive government funds as part of the deal that allowed


the construction of a new highway through their land. Suspecting that the communities were clearing parts of the reserve, the government had withheld the funds.

After laying down their bows and arrows, the Kayapó explained to Luciano Evaristo, IBAMA’s Director of Environmental Protection, that the forest was in fact being cleared by outsiders in a large-scale operation. “The conversation was hard,” Luciano told ((o))eco. In April 2014, he travelled to the Mekrãgnoti. In the resulting enforcement operation, Operation Kayapó, IBAMA found 18 illegal logging camps within the reservation. Some 40 individuals were arrested, and an area of 14,000 hectares in which the gangs were operating were “embargoed” by IBAMA. It was, Luciano told ((o))eco, “the largest area ever found by IBAMA opened by a single environmental offender in theAmazon forest”.

During questioning of those arrested, one name kept coming up: Antônio José Junqueira Vilela Filho. The operation was the beginning of a two-year criminal investigation that would result in the unprecedented detention of a powerful crime boss alleged to have overseen a sprawling, sophisticated network, responsible for the illegal deforestation of vast areas of the Amazon to produce timber and beef.

Operation Flying River

Vilela Filho, also known as Jotinha, is the son of Antônio José Junqueira Vilela, owner of one of the biggest cattle ranching empires in Brazil. Members of the Junqueira Vilela family were often seen among Sao Paulo’s A-list, rubbing shoulders with politicians and celebrities.

The two-year federal investigation that followed Operation Kayapó culminated in the arrest of several of Jotinha’s alleged collaborators on 30 June 2016,


network had “moved” more than half-a-billion dollars between 2012 and 2015. The environmental impact of its activities was priced at US$120 million.

Following the operation, Jotinha himself remained a fugitive for a week until he handed himself in on 8 July, when he was placed in remand custody.

During the two year investigation leading up to Operation Flying Rivers, IBAMA and other agencies had intensified monitoring of the Mekrãgnoti reservation, installed wiretaps and employed judicial orders to investigate bank accounts. A few days after Operation Flying Rivers took place, a wiretap by the Federal Police revealed that Jotinha’s sister, Ana Luiza Junqueira Vilela Viacava, had been coordinating the destruction of evidence against her brother from the US. Ana Luiza was arrested when she landed in Brazil a few weeks later.Her sister, Ana Paula, and husband, Ricardo Viacava –from the Viacava family, also known in Brazil for its cattle ranching empire – were both arrested during Operation Flying Rivers, accused of participation in Jotinha’s criminal activities.

In addition to freezing US$125 million of Jotinha’s money, federal authorities have also frozen funds belonging to another 12 individuals and companies, including Ana Luiza and Ricardo Viacava, as well as the shell company Guatambu Agricultura e Pecuária S.A, which had its assets confiscated.

The modus operandi

The investigation that culminated in Operation Flying Rivers exposed operations, allegedly overseen by Jotinha, that were audacious in their breadth and sophistication. The scope of the crimes committed is hinted at by the range of offences with which Jotinha and other members of the network have been charged:


in Para. A central aim of the operation was to revisit the areas previously deforested by Jotinha, where its activities had been shut down by the environmental agency. Prior to the operation, IBAMA had suspected that some of Jotinha’s farms might still be operational.

IBAMA agents visited four areas attributed to Jotinha and, in spite of the spate of arrests and embargoes, found illegal activities in all of them: recent signs of fires, fences, roads, pasture, 800 heads of cattle, chainsaws, ammunition, and people working there.

Investigations have recently uncovered further evidence against the criminal network. On 9th August 2016, a judge in Sao Paulo issued a new arrest warrant for Jotinha (who at the time had already been in jail for a month) to be placed under remand custodysuccessful habeas corpus petition made by his defence. However, he may be soon behind bars again. On 2nd December, a federal prosecutor in Para requested a federal court to issue a new warrant for his arrest. The prosecutor has made fresh accusations of money laundering, forgery, active and passive corruption, and illegal deforestation of public lands against Jotinha and 23 other individuals.

((o))eco has claimed that impunity was one a critical factor enabling Jotinha to continue operating. According to the news portal, his father was responsible for large-scale illegal deforestation but was never brought to justice. In the 1970s, he was one of the pioneer cattle ranchers who made fortunes in the new agricultural frontier of Mato Grosso. ((o))eco says that cattle ranching was in Jotinha’s blood. He knew


MAMA'S SECRET

Jo was to be gone all week but he decided to come home early and was suprised to see a van outside his house. When he got inside his mom was dressed sexy and a man was there with a camera on a tripod. The man told him he was there to film his mom but the other man did not show. The man said "did you not know your mom was a high paid porn star?" Jo was shocked. He knew his mom was very pretty and had a great figure with big tits and and nice round ass but never guessed she was into porn. This explained how she had so much money as a single mom.

His mom was wearing a skin tight tube topand a very mini skirt. He could see she wore no bra as her nipples poked at the material and did not know about the panties. The man said "Isn't your mom beautiful? Would you like to be in the video with her tonight? It will be hot and sexy. I bet you always wanted to fuck your mom." Jo looked shocked but his cock was already hard. He had always wanted to see his mom naked. Touch her big tits and rub her ass. His mom said "Jo, come do this for mom. You will enjoy it I know."

His mom nodded at the man and pulled Jo down beside her. The man started the camera. She then began to kiss Jo swapping tongues with him. The man


to see her shaved pussy. He spread her pussy lips and ran a finger over her clit. He ran his finger from her clit to her ass before he pushed a finger deep in her hole. He heard his mom moan and then begn to finger fuck her. It was not long before she was coating his finger with cum. He then put his mouth to her pussy and sucked her clit as he fingered her faster. His mom was yelling "more, more." Jo loved watching his finger go in and out of his mom's hole as she moaned and begged for more.

His mom then began to unzip Jo's pants and pull his cock out. He was rock hard and liked his mom's hand holding his cock. Hismom said "my, you have such a nice big cock. You will make a great porn star for my video. A mom with a son and his monster cock." She stood him in front of her and began to lick his cock and his balls. When she licked the tip he was oozing cum fast. She licked the cum and then took the cock into her mouth and began to suck. Jo felt his cock go down her throat and he had never had his whole cock sucked before. It felt wonderful. Her hands grabbed his ass as she sucked and her finger found his pucker and she slipped a finger in him as she sucked him deep and hard. This put Jo over the edge and he


filled her mouth with his cum. He watched as his mom swallowed every drop.

His mom then told him "baby, you have a wonderful cock. Now fuck my pussy. I want every inch deep and hard. When you fill me with cum then turn me over and fuck my ass till you fill it with cum. Then mommy will lick your cock clean." Jo aimed his cock to her hole and shoved in. She felt warm and wet against his big cock. She was also tight for a porn star and he loved how she moved under him. He rammed all the way in her and was soon fucking her hard and deep as she begn to scream wanting more and harder. Jo fucked his mom for a longtime and the camera man was loving the great porn shots he was getting. After a while Jo filled his mom with cum.

He then turned her over and got her on her hands and knees and spread her ass cheeks and looked at her hole and pushed a finger in her and heard her moan. His mom truly loved to be fucked and the camera made it so sexy. He then replaced his finger with his thick cock. He heard his mom gasp as he pushed his big rod deep into her ass. He put every inch of cock in her and then began to fuck her hard. He was pounding her ass and heard her moan and scream. The camera man yelled "Yes, fuck her harder. Get


her deeper and rougher." His balls slapped against her pussy as he fucked her hole. He was lasting longer as he had cum before but soon he did fill her ass with his cum. He pulled his cock out and watched his mom lick him clean from the tip of his cock to his balls.

They then laid side by side naked. He was ready to fuck all night and the camera man told him. "Let me put in fresh film and I am going to have you tie your mom and fuck her more. The scene will start with you spanking her after she is bound before you shove your cock deep down her throat. She is your slut and she will do anything you say. Fuck allher holes as you call her names. Remember she loves it rough."

All night long they filmed the sex scenes and made several videos. This was just the start of a great mom and son porn career.

Jo was to be gone all week but he decided to come home early and was suprised to see a van outside his house.

The subject of power as portrayed by Ariel Dorfman in Death and the Maiden and by Isabelle Allende in The House of the Spirits, is one that is clearly cardinal to both plants of literature. Indeed it is this peculiar subject that forms the foundation for the narratives that each writer severally conveys. As both pieces are set in state of affairss of obvious political tenseness and instability ( from which straight consequences the battle for power and control ) , it is clear to see each writer ‘s incorporation of this subject in their several plants: an incorporation that goes beyond the political phase and into the very lives of the characters of each


power has on each respective relationship.

While internal power exchanges impact relationships seen in each drama, it is besides of import to see the impact that external transportations have. An illustration of this can be found in the power exchange between Roberto and Paulina. In the early of phases of the drama, we become cognizant of Roberto ‘s physical power over her through his anguish and colza of her. However, it so becomes evident to the reader that his power over her was non merely physical but psychological as good and that the mental power he had over her remained even after her physical release. On page 27 we get a sense of the mental power that Roberto had over her when Paulina says:

-or when we would be doingWe can clearly see Trueba ‘s effort to utilize his power to the consequence that she has to maintain her relationship with Tercero secret from him. When Trueba is subsequently held confined by the provincials of his hacienda, it is Tercero ( at Blanca ‘s petition ) who comes to his deliverance and as a consequence, power is transferred from Trueba to Blanca and Tercero. Trueba, being indebted to Blanca, uses his political power to supply a agency flight for the twosome to Canada, towards the terminal of the novel. In this instance it is clear to see that the exchange of power from Trueba to Blanca and Tercero, impacts their relationship positively. It is as a consequence of this exchange, that they get the freedom to hold


of affairs, the power exchange occurs on a psychological degree back uping the fact that, the impact excessively, was more psychological whereas the impact of the power exchange illustrated in the illustration drawn from Allende was strictly situational.

In decision, there are many similarities and differences that may be drawn from the power exchanges that are seen in both narratives. Indeed there are many more that may be investigated as the illustrations above are merely used to back up the thought that an exchange in power in both narratives impacts intimate character relationships. What must be kept in head at all times is the fact that both writers have used power transportations as a major tool in their several plants: in this instance it is a tool to impactforce or violence.
After reviewing the entire record, we have concluded that the evidence of physical force was sufficient to support a finding of the appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The victim testified that: (1) she told the appellant she wasn't interested in having sexual relations, (2) she struggled with him, (3) he hit her in the stomach, (4) he held her hands forcibly together, (5) he bent her thumb backward until it hurt, and (6) he choked her until she could barely breathe. Further, she testified that when she said, "I'll scream," he replied, "If you do, it will be the last time you do." The physician who examined the victim corroborated her version of the incident. He testified that at the time of the examination, the


Conventional single family homes are most often constructed on the location of the building site from individual pieces of lumber by trade workmen. This method of construction allows great flexibility in designing and constructing a house structure. Since each particular section of a house is part-by-part constructed and assembled with the whole of its structure, custom house constructions are easily accomplished. Unlimited possibilities exist using this type of construction for achieving enlarged and open spaces in the interior living areas of the house, such as raised or vaulted ceilings, dormers, bi-level or sunken floor surfaces, split level balconies, etc.
It is the enlarged space living areas of a house having non-standard three-dimensional form which create the character and ambience one recognizes and appreciates and which brings value to thehome. These characteristics are an important factor, not only in providing a home which engenders feelings of comfort and attractiveness for the inhabitant, but also provides a house which is much more desirable and capable of sale in a competitive housing market. The discriminating home buyer has come to expect features of elegance and originality in a home created by custom design of the enlarged living space areas. Providing these features of expression and individuality in a house greatly aids in convincing a home buyer to purchase, while achieving better profits for the home builder.
Modern times have found increased economic pressure on the builder to reduce the costs of construction of a house, while maintaining the character and ambience desired by the home buyer. Greatly increased costs of

For years, people have trashed Tule Springs, oblivious to its treasure. They dump garbage, smash bottles and roll over ancient bones in all-terrain vehicles. Developers built houses over massive animal graveyards, trapping history under asphalt roads and concrete foundations. The site sits a half-mile from Aliante Casino.

Fossils were discovered, in part, when NV Energy began building a power corridor at the edge of Tule Springs in the early 2000s. Crews found ancient remains while digging. The BLM in 2003 placed Tule Springs under “disposal consideration,” meaning the agency could sell the land for development and private use.

Residents fumed and tried to find ways to protect the land. A local retired teacher named Jill DeStefano created the nonprofit group Protectors of Tule Springs. Meeting with local politicians and canvassingneighborhoods for supporters, the Protectors secured 10,000 signatures on a petition against the BLM’s land sale. They convinced the National Park Service the area was worth protecting. Local leaders latched onto the idea of having a national park in their own backyard.

Tule Springs is rare in that it remains accessible. It is the largest open ice age fossil site in the Mojave Desert and southern Great Basin.

“The whole Las Vegas Valley is situated on sediments of the Las Vegas Formation, the geological unit that yields these ice age remains,” said Eric Scott, curator of the San Bernardino County Museum. “But ...any fossils remaining lie inaccessible beneath homes, pools and casinos. In contrast, the upper Las Vegas Wash is still open, still exposed to wind and weather, and the


fossils preserved there are still eroding out, awaiting discovery. This is the only place in the Las Vegas Valley where this is still true.”

VISIONS OF THE FUTURE

Legislation to designate Tule Springs a national monument has stalled in Washington, D.C., another victim of infighting and party polarization. The bid faces an uncertain future, despite being supported by the entire Nevada delegation, who argue that it can be a boon for students, scientists and the economy in general, as it would offer a new tourist hotspot.

The Clark County Commission, Las Vegas City Council, North Las Vegas City Council and Tribal Council of the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe all passed resolutions asking Congress to make Tule Springs part of the National Park System.

“It would be a model urban national park,” O’NeillDrones forced the landing of planes deployed to fight the so-called North Fire in southern California that burned cars and homes along the 15 Freeway Friday, delaying response to the frightening blaze, officials said.

All air units not only pulled back from the fire because of the drones, but all five were forced to touch back down at the airport in San Bernardino after jettisoning their loads, John Miller of the U.S. Forest Service said.

The drones can pose a hazard to the planes, so the airspace must be closed to fixed-wing aircraft if they are seen in the air.

"It can kill our firefighters in the air ... They can strike one of these things and one of our aircraft could go down, killing the firefighters in the air. This


is serious to us. It is a serious, not only life threat, not only to our firefighters in the air, but when we look at the vehicles that were overrun by fire, it was definitely a life-safety threat to the motorists on Interstate 15," said John Miller of U.S. Forest Service,

Five drones were initially spotted over the fire, which consumed five homes and more than a dozen cars as motorists frantically fled on foot through the Cajon Pass.

Two drones actually gave chase to air units, and the incident delayed response by about 15 to 20 minutes, according to Battalion Chief Marc Peebles of San Bernardino County Fire Department.

When asked if the delay contributed to the fire jumping the 15 Freeway, Peebles said “It definitely contributed to it.”

Seeking monetary and equitable relief, Zoccoli sued his former employer, Ladbroke Racing Michigan, Inc.  (Ladbroke), a Michigan corporation.   Relying on 42 U.S.C. §§ 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1988, Zoccoli alleged that Ladbroke wrongfully refused to reinstate him after he was discharged.   The district court denied his complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction on March 13, 1995.   On June 6, 1995, Zoccoli filed a motion for relief from judgment, which the district court dismissed as untimely pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e).   Zoccoli has filed a timely appeal, reasserting his original claim.   He also requests in his brief that he be allowed to refile his complaint as a class action.

The Canadian soccer world has been a buzz for the last two years about one thing: an all Canadian pro soccer league. And on February 4th John McGrane, a former Canadian international player and representative of Hamilton Ti-Cats owner Bob Young, walked into Hamilton's city hall and had a meeting with the city council where he went on the record saying that there is going to be a Canadian Premier League*.While the idea of a league should be cause for excitement, the league will only be a success if done right. Here are 5 things the CPL should avoid.

* No official statement has yet been released. The CPL is still only a proposed league.

6 teams would result in the league being viewed as a joke and not taken seriously by not only the rest of the world, but also casual fans in Canada.

Division 2 Status

Another large criticism of the proposed league is that it's just going to be a tier 2 league to the MLS. This viewpoint could do just as much damage to the league as regular cross Canada road trips, especially in Canada's big three markets where the MLS has already established itself.

To combat this perception, the CPL must present itself as equal to the MLS. The CSA must classify the league as a joint division 1 with the MLS and must secure the league a slot in the Champions' League, and the owners must do everything within theirpower to promote the league as the pinnacle of the game in Canada.

Streaming League Games

Streaming games online is a fine way to keep fans connected when they are unable to be at the games but there are a number of issues with it. Bars and restaurants are unlikely to stream off the internet, popular chains won't for sure, and advertisers are turned off by the limited reach that streaming presents. The CPL must broadcast every league game and high profile friendlies live on traditional TV (TSN preferably but TLN is widely available enough that it could do the job).

That said, don't avoid streaming completely. Streaming pre-season friendlies is a great way to get fans excited and showing academy and reserve games online could shed some light on emerging

It aims to extend TransCanada’s existing Keystone pipeline, which was completed in 2013. Keystone XL (the initials stand for “export limited”) would transport up to 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta, Canada, and Montana to Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast. In the United States, the pipeline would stretch 875 miles through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska, with the rest continuing into Canada.

It has met sustained opposition from environmental advocacy groups, as well as from Obama, who rejected it three years ago on the grounds that it would accelerate climate change.

Activists argue the pipeline would be especially damaging to the climate because it would mean extracting thick, low-quality oil from Canada’s oil sands, with lots of tree-cutting and energy consumption in the process, which would increasegreenhouse gas emissions. Native American groups in Montana and elsewhere fought the Keystone project as well, saying its route failed to adhere to historical treaty boundaries and would impinge on their water systems and sacred lands.

In 2015, on the eve of the international climate talks in Paris, the Obama administration appeared to bring an end to the seven-year-long saga when it announced it was halting construction of the pipeline, arguing that approval would compromise the country’s effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The United States, Obama said, was now a “global leader when it comes to taking serious action to fight climate change.”

“And frankly, approving this project would have undercut that global leadership,” he said, adding that the “biggest risk” the United States faced was “not acting.”

By Sofia Mitra-Thakur

Published Monday, August 6, 2012

Nasa's Mars rover Curiosity has landed safely after a two-year quest for signs that the Red Planet once hosted key ingredients for life.

Mission controllers burst into applause and cheered in relief as they received signals confirming that the rover had survived its perilous descent and arrived within its target zone at the bottom of a vast, ancient crater.

The robotic lab sailed through space for more than eight months, covering 352 million miles, before piercing the Martian atmosphere at 13,000 miles per hour – 17 times the speed of sound – before starting its descent.

Moments after landing, Curiosity beamed back its first three images from the Martian surface, one of them showing a wheel of the vehicle and the


rover's shadow cast on the rocky terrain.

"I can't believe this. This is unbelievable," enthused Allen Chen, the deputy lead of the rover's entry, descent and landing team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles.

The craft's descent through the planet's thin atmosphere, a feat described as the most elaborate and risky achievement in the annals of robotic spaceflight, turned out to be short-lived cliffhanger, much to Nasa's relief.

Curiosity, encased in a protective capsule-like shell, used a brand new automated flight entry system to sharply reduce its speed before landing.

Then it rode a giant supersonic parachute, a jet-powered backpack and a never-before-used "sky crane" to touch down inside a vast impact basin named Gale Crater, located near the planet's equator in its southern hemisphere.

Nasa put the official landing timeof Curiosity, the first fully fledged mobile science laboratory sent to a distant world, at 10:32pm Pacific time (0530 GMT).

Curiosity will spend two years exploring Gale Crater and an unusual three-mile-high mountain consisting of what appears to be sediments rising from the crater's floor.

The purpose of the $2.5bn mission is to look for evidence that Mars – the planet most similar to Earth – may have once harboured the basic building blocks necessary for microbial life to evolve.

It represents Nasa's first astrobiology mission since the 1970s-era Viking probes.

The landing marks a major milestone for a US space agency beset by budget cuts and the recent loss of its 30-year-old space shuttle programme.

"It's an enormous step forward in planetary exploration. Nobody has ever done anything like this," said John


Holdren, the top science advisor to President Barack Obama, who was visiting JPL for the event. "It was an incredible performance."

The exact condition of the rover upon arrival was not immediately clear.

Nasa plans to put the rover and its laboratory gear through several weeks of engineering checks before starting its two-year surface mission in earnest.

The rover, launched in November from Cape Canaveral, Florida, comes equipped with an array of sophisticated instruments capable of analysing samples of soil, rocks and atmosphere on the spot and beaming results back to Earth.

One is a laser gun that can target a rock from 23ft away to create a spark whose spectral image is analysed by a special telescope to discern the mineral's chemical composition.FREE now and never miss the top Royal stories again.

Just two days into his four-year protest of Donald Trump, the 30-year-old actor was captured screaming "He will not divide us" at a man outside Manhattan's Museum of the Moving Image. "We must secure the existence of white people," the man - who could potentially have been working with LaBeouf - preached into the camera, prompting an angered response from the Transformers star. "He will not divide us," he snapped into the man's ear, just days after he tried to punch a


man who was holding a "Pepe 2020" sign at the camera.

Again it was uncertain as to whether or not the man was a protester or merely a character in LeBeouf's project. The American Honey star has been trolled by a number of people at his protest site over the course of the weekend. One man - who visited during the early hours of Monday morning - even went as far as to shout "Hitler did nothing wrong" numerous times into the camera located onsite.

With his murder trial approaching this March, South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius has hired some help from the United States to challenge the case against him.

An American forensic team will give expert testimony to cast doubt on evidence entered against the athlete nicknamed the "blade runner" for the special prosthesis legs he sprints with, his spokeswoman Anneliese Burgess said Wednesday.

The track star, whose legs are amputated below the knees, admitted to shooting dead model Reeva Steenkamp, in his home on Valetine's Day. But he has said it was an accident.

People confess to a lot of things on Facebook: their frustrations, bad habits, secret longings and new loves. A Florida man allegedly confessed to a murder Thursday on the social media website, that of his wife, whom heeither "angry" or "disappointed" with the Senate's action on gun legislation, far different from the amount of people who strongly approved the proposal before the vote. Meanwhile, 39% say they are "relieved" or "happy" about the vote.

There has been much speculation over what was going on in Adam Lanza's head when he walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, with an assault rifle in December and opened fire on small children.

Thursday morning state prosecutors are planning to release new documents in the case, but it may not shed more light on the reasons for the mass shooting.

11:00 am ET - Biden, Bloomberg talk gun violence


- Critics are upset that the Senate appears to have given up on legislation to ban assault weapons. This morning, Vice President Biden and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg discuss efforts at passing "common sense" legislation to reduce gun violence.

Political risk shouldn't matter when it comes to combating gun violence, Vice President Joe Biden argued Thursday at a conference in Danbury, Connecticut.

Danbury is just west of Newtown, where a gunman massacred 20 children and seven adults, including his mother, in December.

As the National Rifle Association continues to beef up its campaign and rhetoric against the Obama administration's gun proposals, Biden warned his colleagues on Capitol Hill not to succumb to the group's power and money.

The FBI does not comment on the data but makes it available on its website. But the figures typically show high numbers of background checks during the holiday shopping months of November and December. The background check numbers usually decline January. There also is often a spike in checks after dramatic incidents of gun violence. The NICS system was launched in November 1998 after being mandated by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993.

Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will give an opening statement today at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence, according to two sources close to Giffords.

It is the first congressional hearing on gun violence since the Connecticut school massacre that left 26 people dead. A top NRA official plans to tell lawmakers


Wednesday that new weapons restrictions are not a "serious solution" to the problem.

Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, will be one of five witnesses at the hearing. Giffords' husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, will also testify.

The hearing comes a few weeks after President Barack Obama's legislative proposals aimed at curbing gun violence after the Newtown shootings, which left 20 children and six adults dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The shooter, Adam Lanza, also killed his mother and himself.

The National Rifle Association has gained about a half million members since the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting. The NRA now has more than 4.5 million members, Andrew Arulanandam with the NRA tells CNN.

the incoming students arrive and assess the size of the class and their interests. At CU, the department was split roughly evenly between groups with an energy focus and a biotechnology focus and the admissions committee made sure to accept a class that reflected that split. The faculty members then negotiate how many students each could reasonably accept based on the funding situation, needs of others, and projected drop out rate. Depending on the level of organization, they could develop specific projects on which students would begin their doctoral research. The projects are then presented to the incoming class with a wide range of specificity.

For many in Delft times were hard enough; in 1654 other parts of the country had rallied round after the gunpowder explosion and sent aid and goods, but in the _Rampjaar_ difficulties were general. The flooding of the countryside ruined the harvest; grain had to be imported and there were severe food shortages. Everyone felt the pinch. For artists, in Delft as elsewhere, the problems were those of all entrepreneurs and traders dealing in items that suddenly weren't necessities any longer: the buying of pictures was now a luxury to be dispenseddealers on that occasion; he was presumably paid off in cash. In mid-1943 the Dutch government got into the act, buying a supposed Vermeer, _The Washing of Christ's Feet_ , for 1.3 million guilders.

_The Supper at Emmaus_ , c. 1937, Han van Meegeren.

The government did this despite the advice of several art experts who distrusted the work; other experts voted to buy the picture so that the Nazis wouldn't have the chance. Throughout this sorry sequence of events, the dealers concerned avoided any intent examination of the pictures: no X-ray photos were taken; no analyses were made of the paint and therefore no one was aware that the _Woman taken in Adultery_ , for instance, had cobalt blue in it, a colour that didn't exist in Vermeer's time;
