came in for some grief for presuming, as a white male filmmaker, to tell a story about black women's lives.

One of the more facile slaps at Lincoln is that it's a movie about abolition that focuses on a white man, just as Schindler's List was a Holocaust movie with a German (a Nazi, for that matter) at its center. To isolate those two movies is to miss the deeper chord that connects them with other films. Spielberg has always been interested in—even obsessed by—the relationship between the human and the other, a category that includes classes of people defined as less than human. Sometimes, as in Schindler and Lincoln, he explores this relationship mainly from the perspective of a member of the empowered, fully "human" caste whose conscienceis engaged by the plight of the other. The Righteous Gentile, or the Great Emancipator. But at other times he has gone the other way, most notably in A.I., which is a movie about the existential agony of being condemned to a state of servitude and social death very much like slavery.

The world of A.I. is divided into humans and sentient robots known as mecha. There is intimacy between the two groups, but also absolute domination. Humans live with mecha servants and surrogate children, have sex with mecha prostitutes, and depend on mecha labor, but mecha can be sold, discarded, or killed at any time, and "free" mecha are hunted down and rounded up by slave-catchers. The movie's hero, a young boy named David, refuses to accept this

by Eli Blumenthal, Special for USA TODAY

While most of the attention for smartwatches is focused on Motorola's upcoming Moto 360 and Apple's rumored wearable, Samsung and LG aren't getting out of the way. Both South Korean companies have unveiled two new wearables, the Samsung Gear S and LG G Watch R, respectively.

For Samsung the new smartwatch marks the company's sixth wearable announced within the last year, a trend that started last year with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch introduced alongside the Galaxy Note 3. The new Gear S however, is arguably the company's most fashionable device yet, featuring a large, curved 2-inch Super AMOLED display.

Flora, fauna, and a whole virgin environment characterize this place that pleases its visitors owing to its tropical endemic nature, great schools of fish species like shads, palometas, pacualas, big porgies, meros or groupers, and barracudas. The reefs of Cayo Coco are nearly 32 km long (21 mi.) and are renowned for its corals and diversity of gorgonians and sponges. One can find also other species like devilfish and turtles.

There is also a great predominance of the white ibis, a wading bird popularly known as coconut bird, and a singular colony of pink flamingos that live to the south of the key and provide the visitors with an unusual spectacle at dawn or during the sunset.

By giving such 'controversial' statements, Alagiri was trying to get some identity as both the party and country had forgotten him, he said.

Stalin had been accepted as a leader in DMK, Bharathy said, adding, Alagiri was making such statement out of jealousy against his younger brother.


In a rescue, firemen could extend Denison's hydraulic ladder to windows as high as 113 feet. But rather than clamber up the ladder, the firefighter would hop on, and the rungs would roll up at 200 feet per minute—more than twice the average climbing speed of a firefighter weighed down by 130 pounds of gear. The firefighter would ride to a window, load unconscious victims into a rescue bag, hook the bag to the ladder, and shift it into reverse to bring the person to safety. Denison says it can now take up to 15 minutes, and sometimes several men, to carry one victim down a ladder from 10 stories. He estimates that his ladder could lower four people to the ground in less than four minutes.or both.

The Club for Growth backed a primary challenge to longtime Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, in its first major endorsement of the cycle.

On Wednesday, the influential conservative group announced its support for Bryan Smith, an attorney, to challenge Simpson, an eight-term member and close ally of Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio.

"We met with Bryan months ago after hearing about him through PrimaryMyCongressman.com, and we’re confident that he’ll be a strong conservative alternative to RINO incumbent Mike Simpson," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a press release.

"It’s time for Idaho voters to throw Mike Simpson out, and Bryan Smith is the man to replace him,” added Chocola, a former congressman from Indiana.

The club interviewed Smith in early May in Washington, D.C., and conducted a poll on hisUpper-arm elevation during office work.
The present aim was to measure and quantify upper-arm elevation and to find how changed work organization and work tasks influence arm movement during a working day. Sixteen female office workers participated in the study. Their main work was statistical data entry. Upper-arm elevation was measured on two occasions separated by 18 months, i.e., before and after a change of work organization. The measurements were performed during the whole of one ordinary working day. The differences between the two measurements were mostly non-significant. Arm elevation remained essentially below 30 degrees during the main time of the working day, and the subjects worked with limited arm movements. Despite new alternative office tasks, they did not achieve a change in their habitual arm postures, or in

LifeBUILDERS is beautifying a community through vision and community service.

"Twelve years ago when we came here, there was no hope," said Larry Johnson.

Through Johnson's organization, LifeBUILDERS Johnson set out to transform Detroit's Regent Park neighborhood an area that was dealing with squatters, drug dealers and abandoned homes.

Every year the organization would bring in volunteers to remove weeds, blight - and rehab properties when possible.

This year, volunteers converged on the neighborhood once again for the LifeBUILDERS Summer Build Week.

"With 70 people from. Norway, young life people from Grosse Pointe, two church groups from Grand Rapids," said Johnson, the executive director of LifeBUILDERS.

On Monday volunteers were seen removing more weeds and blight but also working to create an area that will feature flowers and plants inIn an effort to muffle criticism of how it handled Russian interference and disinformation, Facebook reportedly carried out a campaign to discredit dissenters that included targeted attacks on Jewish billionaire philanthropist George Soros.

A New York Times investigation, published Wednesday, delves into the social media giant’s handling of the controversy and chaos following the discovery of targeted disinformation campaigns. Facebook, facing increasing backlash in Washington, hired Definers Public Affairs, a Republican opposition research firm, to discredit anti-Facebook protesters by linking them to figures like Soros, a longtime critic of the social network, the newspaper reported.

Facebook initially worked with Definers to monitor press coverage of the company, but then expanded the relationship in October 2017, according to the report. The public relations firm then reportedly began promoting negative coverage of

this was objected to, and I proposed. Freeland ot Slorrs. I finally took the paper by agree-ment between Freeland and Sloors. Recess. ' Beeeher was absent during the entire morning session, but Mrs. Beeeher and her daughter in-law came in ahortly after the opening of the case, and occupied their usual places. JJvarts remained about half an hour and then left the case in the hands of the remaining counsel for the defense. After recess Louisa Joanna Bodgers, a young lady, took the Btand and testified that Bbe was a telegraph reporter in New York in June, 1873, in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph company, and, being handed a dispatch, aaid ahe received this message and was able to swear that she received it on the2d of June. Mary C. Joseph, operator a Peekskill, testified to having received the eamo dispatch on the 2d of June, 1873. The next witness waa George T. Williams, who testified : I am law editor of the New York Herald, and have been a journalist for eighteen years. I was at one lime munaging editor ot the new York Times.

Moulton said. "Sam Wilkeson thinks I burned those papers. O. vest I burned them." and he laughed. Said he, "If I burned them, what would Theodore do in case of trouble," After the publication of the Woodhuil scandal, Tiltoa called at my house. He said it was an infamous article aad contained a great many lies about his wife and Beeeher, and that he waaif his advice had been followed, it would have been better. He also said "your brother must not sign tbe report of tbe Church aommitlee until I be cross-examined, or J will make another statemeut. He said he had been Beecher's fiwnd until he called bias a blackmailer, but now Beech er had got to look out for himself. This waa on August 28. Moulton had been down East before this interview. I do not remember Tilton charging his wife with adultery with Beeeher except on itfl enee. In a conversation witb me in 1871 or lsiii he talked ot aue-ing a Darlv for having said hia wife had committed adultery with Beeeher. After tne end ot a certain lawsuit againat Moulton last year, December 10, 1874, be

The Bush of the Closing- Honra-The Measure. l.oat and Won. The Sixtyfirat General Assembly of Ohio went out yesterday like a wholesale pyrotechnic establishment to which a combination fuse had been attached and lighted. For twentyfour hours previous to the welcome dissolution there was a series ot explosions that metaphorically shook the walla of the everlasting Capitol, The wicked Gordon-Haag war closed Monday evening about seven o'clock. A short recess was taken, after which both branches assembled for a protracted night session. The principal interest waaIn the House. At one o'clock yesterday morning there was a rush of bills and a confusion that tested the patience of the Speaker and the Speaker pro tern., who held the reins of parliamentary government by turns. As quick as one measure would be disposed of half the members would be on their feet, holding manuscripts above their heads, and shouting "Mr. Speaker" in concert. 1 he Chair necessarily proceeded bv chance in recognizing members. The clerks read in sections and by platoons. and grew hoarse under the pressure of business. Members "buzzed' about the hall, and after each vote there was a gen eral wrestle to gather up those who in the contusion had not responded to their names, so that the constitutional majority might be


obtained. While Bedlam was thus let loose, a few of the members who bad nothing to rush through, ranged themselves in the back oart of the hall and indulged in the an cient legislative barbariain of throwing paper wads and bundles. At three o'clock in the morning the report of the conference committee on the Toledo bill came up, and the previous Question was applied. After half a doz en names had been called, Thompson of Lucas aooressea ine opeaaer, and aaid be must insist that the members be relieved of the importunities of the lob byists, who were swarming round their seats. General Grosvenor moved that the pestiferous lobby be expelled. Speaker Converse ordered all persons not members to go without tbe bar of the House, andmeasures, and adjourned a little before four o'clock. Many members did not retire. The Legislature got to work again at 81 o'clock, and the mill ground rapidly till Ibe adjournment. The Toledo boeineaa waa resuscitated in the Honors by a re consideration, but waa killed again. Tbe House waa a Babylon during the most or the session. Members with resolutions in their hands were shouting to get the eye of the Speaker, and those who had nothing to do were rushing around in a general way. General Grosvenor offered a resolution of thanks to Speaker Converse. Gordon gave notice of intention to discuss, witb the intention ol throwing the resolution over and killing it; but in an instant about half the members were on their feet to move


a suspension of the rules. Tbe rules were suspended and tbe resolution was adopted. When ihe hands of the clock pointed to ten o'clock, Gordon "bounced" the Speaker for permitting the session to continue, and said tbe Legislature was a de- lunct institution under tbe adjournment resolution. Gordon was so persistent In this matter that the Speaker peremptorily ordered him to ait down. There ia not much brotherly love between Mr. Gordon and the Speaker. On Monday when the vote waa taken on exonerating Mr, Converse iu the Wood county matter, Mr. Gordon did not respond to the call of his name, But after Gordon himself had been exonerated by a vote of the House, he asked to be record ed on the question of exonerating Mr. Converse,and voted "No." This raised the "bile" in Uncle Jim Thompson, and he aBked to be recorded on the Question of exonerating Gordon. His name waa called and he responded with a declamatory and inflammatory "No!" Several other members followed Thompson's lead, and placed themselves fornenst Gordon. borne or the most important business in the closing hours of the Legislature may be summarized aa follows: The license proposition was defeated; the Potter Toledo bill went under; the proposition to submit amendmenla to the nidi- ciary article of the Constitution was lost; a joint resolution, offered by General Grosvenor, ordering the printing of the testimony in the Wood county matter, waa adopted in the House, but defeated in the Senate; Senate joint resolution pro viding tor the sale of

In the confusion incident to adjournment, it was placed on the Speaker'a desk, and was embellished with the signature of the presiding officer, along wilh many other bills that went up in a heap. The bill got over to the Senate, but was discovered there and thrown out before the Presi dent's pen got to it. Everything was excitement yesterday morning; but finally tbe Legislature dashed out in the blaze, and yesterday afternoon many "long breaths" were drawn. DIED.

The Supply of Sal&cioui Sensations ' Banning Low. j New York, March 80. There was an unusual ruah to the Brooklyn Court room this morning, in consequence of a rnmor that Mr. Beeeher would testify. Nr. Crarts atated tbat a witness or importance, : Mr. Heery M. Cleveland, was very sick and about lo leave the city, aad asked that arrangements might be made at an early day to lake- hia tealimony, Judge Neilsoa being


Recess. ' Beeeher was absent during the entire morning session, but Mrs. Beeeher and her daughter in-law came in ahortly after the opening of the case, and occupied their usual places. JJvarts remained about half an hour and then left the case in the hands of the remaining counsel for the defense. After recess Louisa Joanna Bodgers, a young lady, took the Btand and testified that Bbe was a telegraph reporter in New York in June, 1873, in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph company, and, being handed a dispatch, aaid ahe received this message and was able to swear that she received it on the 2d of June. Mary C. Joseph, operator a Peekskill, testified to having received the eamo dispatch on the 2d of June,1873. The next witness waa George T. Williams, who testified : I am law editor of the New York Herald, and have been a journalist for eighteen years. I was at one lime munaging editor ot the new York Times. Saw the Woodhuil publication of November 2, 1872, and saw the proof slips before it was produced publicly. 1 received the proof slips of the scan- la) against Beeeher. This was objected to. and Judge Neilson finally ruled out the last answer of the witness, who waa then allowed to leave tbe stand, Charles Slorrs was the next witness. He testified : Beside in Brooklyn, and have for twenty years. I am a commis sion merclAnt in New York for twenty- five yeara. Have known 111 ton lor


had told this to Beeeher, and the latter had procured a retraction from her. and that Moulton had gone to Beeeher with a pistol and made him give jt up. in a conversation had with Tilton and Moulton at the letter's house. Moulton said. "Sam Wilkeson thinks I burned those papers. O. vest I burned them." and he laughed. Said he, "If I burned them, what would Theodore do in case of trouble," After the publication of the Woodhuil scandal, Tiltoa called at my house. He said it was an infamous article aad contained a great many lies about his wife and Beeeher, and that he waa writing a story about it, that Betel er had aaade improper proposals to hia wife, but that nothing criminal occurred, andthat ebe was as pure as light. He spoke of having written WoodbuU'a life, and that it damaged him more thaa $10,000. I had a coaversatioa with Tillon at Oriqgton'a after hie wife left him. He aaid he must now, hie wife having left him, smash Elisabeth and Beeeher. I aaid I was sorry, and that this waa unfortunate. In August, 1874. I was sent f.r to Moulton's by Woodruff. I went there and had an interview with Moulton upstairs. Moulton laughed and aaid he did not know I would come to see a blackmailer. He also said Btecber had confessed bis adultery to him. and that if his advice had been followed, it would have been better. He also said "your brother must not sign tbe report


of tbe Church aommitlee until I be cross-examined, or J will make another statemeut. He said he had been Beecher's fiwnd until he called bias a blackmailer, but now Beech er had got to look out for himself. This waa on August 28. Moulton had been down East before this interview. I do not remember Tilton charging his wife with adultery with Beeeher except on itfl enee. In a conversation witb me in 1871 or lsiii he talked ot aue-ing a Darlv for having said hia wife had committed adultery with Beeeher. After tne end ot a certain lawsuit againat Moulton last year, December 10, 1874, be sent for me to come and see him. I went and had a conversation with him. He said Beeeher was aliar, and used other words in aubatanee. He aaid also that he was a libertine. The Court here adjourned. It ia believed that Beecber will be on the witness stand to-morrow.

The Bush of the Closing- Honra-The Measure. l.oat and Won. The Sixtyfirat General Assembly of Ohio went out yesterday like a wholesale pyrotechnic establishment to which a combination fuse had been attached and lighted. For twentyfour hours previous to the welcome dissolution there was a series ot explosions that metaphorically shook the walla of the everlasting Capitol, The wicked Gordon-Haag war closed Monday evening about seven o'clock. A short recess was taken, after which both branches assembled for a protracted night session. The principal interest waa In the House. At one o'clock yesterday morning there was a rush of bills and a confusion that tested the patience


of the Speaker and the Speaker pro tern., who held the reins of parliamentary government by turns. As quick as one measure would be disposed of half the members would be on their feet, holding manuscripts above their heads, and shouting "Mr. Speaker" in concert. 1 he Chair necessarily proceeded bv chance in recognizing members. The clerks read in sections and by platoons. and grew hoarse under the pressure of business. Members "buzzed' about the hall, and after each vote there was a gen eral wrestle to gather up those who in the contusion had not responded to their names, so that the constitutional majority might be obtained. While Bedlam was thus let loose, a few of the members who bad nothing to rush through, ranged themselves inthe back oart of the hall and indulged in the an cient legislative barbariain of throwing paper wads and bundles. At three o'clock in the morning the report of the conference committee on the Toledo bill came up, and the previous Question was applied. After half a doz en names had been called, Thompson of Lucas aooressea ine opeaaer, and aaid be must insist that the members be relieved of the importunities of the lob byists, who were swarming round their seats.

Tbe House waa a Babylon during the most or the session. Members with resolutions in their hands were shouting to get the eye of the Speaker, and those who had nothing to do were rushing around in a general way. General Grosvenor offered a resolution of thanks to Speaker Converse. Gordon gave notice of intention to discuss, witb the intention ol throwing the resolution over and killing it; but in an instant about half the members were on their feet to move a suspension of the rules. Tbe rules were suspended and tbe resolution was adopted. When ihe hands of the clock pointedto ten o'clock, Gordon "bounced" the Speaker for permitting the session to continue, and said tbe Legislature was a de- lunct institution under tbe adjournment resolution. Gordon was so persistent In this matter that the Speaker peremptorily ordered him to ait down. There ia not much brotherly love between Mr. Gordon and the Speaker. On Monday when the vote waa taken on exonerating Mr, Converse iu the Wood county matter, Mr. Gordon did not respond to the call of his name, But after Gordon himself had been exonerated by a vote of the House, he asked to be record ed on the question of exonerating Mr. Converse, and voted "No." This raised the "bile" in Uncle Jim Thompson, and he aBked to be recorded on the Question of


exonerating Gordon. His name waa called and he responded with a declamatory and inflammatory "No!" Several other members followed Thompson's lead, and placed themselves fornenst Gordon. borne or the most important business in the closing hours of the Legislature may be summarized aa follows: The license proposition was defeated; the Potter Toledo bill went under; the proposition to submit amendmenla to the nidi- ciary article of the Constitution was lost; a joint resolution, offered by General Grosvenor, ordering the printing of the testimony in the Wood county matter, waa adopted in the House, but defeated in the Senate; Senate joint resolution pro viding tor the sale of the old Blind Asylum building paased the House: a joint resolution by Mr, Thompson of Lucas, lor the payment or perdiem in the holiday recess, waa defeated veas 29. nays 35, Tbe Toledo bill, after all the excitement, got half way official sanction.

Robert Greenwaldt owned an office building which was damaged by fire on September 25, 1977. Both Mr. Greenwaldt and Mrs. Monosso maintained offices in Greenwaldt's building.
On the date of the fire, Mrs. Monosso had been at Mr. Greenwaldt's home at approximately 9:30 p.m. in a depressed and upset mental state. Due to her condition and a suspected ingestation of drugs, Greenwaldt called a rescue squad and reported an overdose. Upon Mrs. Monosso's departure from his residence prior to the arrival ofthe requested emergency aid, Greenwaldt informed officials that the victim had left in a yellow Capri automobile.
At approximately 11:08 p.m. on that same date, the City of Waukesha Fire Department received an alarm of a fire at the Greenwaldt office building. Assistant Fire Chief Seidl arrived at the fire scene at approximately 11:11 p.m. He was aware that the owner of the building had previously reported a suspected drug overdose of a woman, and he knew that the victim was driving a yellow Capri. When he arrived at the fire, Seidl noticed a yellow Capri parked in a lot adjacent to the building. He further noticed that the door to the building was being held open by a brick. Brick powder or *371 dust similar in color to


the brick holding open the door was noticed on a window adjacent to the rear door.
The fire was substantially confined to a subbasement office maintained by Mr. Greenwaldt. The entire building, however, suffered from superheated air and smoke. The fire was extinguished only after approximately two and one-half hours of effort. In order to subdue the conflagration, normal firefighting tactics were employed. During this process, every room and closet were checked out solely for rescue purposes.
Sometime after 1:40 a.m. on September 26, 1977, Assistant Fire Chief Seidl, along with Deputy Fire Marshal Krupka and Fire Chief Land, entered Mrs. Monosso's office for the purpose of investigating the cause of the blaze. Upon entering the office, they noticed a brick on the desk as well as brick powder nextto a window boarded up with drywall material. There was glass on the floor. The fire officials were in the office for approximately ten minutes and removed nothing from the office. The brick found on Mrs. Monosso's desk was described as similar to the brick found holding open the door.
After the fire had been extinguished, a police guard was posted, and the fire officials left the building. Because the office building could not be properly checked for causes of the fire that night due to the intense heat, Deputy Fire Marshal Krupka and Detective Ronald Miller returned the next morning at approximately 8:00 a.m. to complete the investigation. During this return visit, Krupka and Miller once again entered Mrs. Monosso's office for further investigation. Pictures were taken of


the brick located on her desk. Pictures of the walls of the office were also taken. Pieces of brick, a paperweight and a stapler were seized and removed from the office. The brick by the rear door was also seized.
During the investigation, attempts were made to eliminate all accidental causes of the fire. The fire *372 marshal concluded at the end of his review that the fire was originated by a person.
Prior to trial, Mrs. Monosso moved to suppress physical evidence seized and photos made during the warrantless entry into her office on the morning of September 26, 1977. The parties stipulated that the search was warrantless and without consent. The trial court denied the motion by written order.
Subsequent to sentencing, Mrs. Monosso brought a post-conviction motion requestingremarkably similar to the one confronted here. In Tyler, two men were charged and convicted of conspiracy to burn real property, and one of the two was convicted of burning real property and burning insured property with the intent to defraud. The fire occurred at a furniture store which the two men operated.
The Tyler fire occurred shortly before midnight. When the fire chief arrived at approximately 2:00 a.m., he was informed that containers of flammable liquid had been found inside the building. A police detective arrived at approximately 3:30 a.m., and pictures of the containers and the interior of the store were taken. Further investigative efforts were abandoned at that time because *374 of the smoke and heat. By 4:00 a.m., the fire had been extinguished, and all


persons left the scene. At approximately 9:00 a.m., an assistant fire chief returned with the detective, and a further search was made of the premises. The search revealed suspicious burn marks in the carpet as well as pieces of tape containing burn marks. The pieces of tape were found on a stairway. Pieces of the carpet and sections of the stairs were removed as evidence.
Several weeks later, a police officer assigned to the arson section returned and took additional photographs. At that time, the electrical system was also further inspected. All searches were warrantless and without consent.

The Supreme Court found the first two of the three searches to fall within an exception to the fourth amendment search and seizure ban. With regard to the first entry during theThe entire building was filled with superheated air as a result of the fire. The increased temperature when combined with the darkness of night made an immediate search of the building following the extinguishment of the fire futile. The fire officials, therefore, were forced to return the next morning to view the fire scene.
[6]
Mrs. Monosso's office was located in close proximity to the office wherein the actual fire occurred. The office was searched with a view toward ascertaining the intentional or accidental cause of the fire. The officials did not look into the private papers, documents or personal effects located in Monosso's office. The area was viewed to check out the ventilation, heating and electrical systems and to fully investigate all possible causes of the fire. During this

On September 18, 1997, a red Ford Probe pulled into the parking lot at the Mail-rooms Plus facility in question. Hawthorne exited the car, which was driven by Pillow, and entered the Mailrooms Plus facility, where Special Agent Manchas was working in an undercover capacity. Hawthorne asked Special Agent Manchas whether a package had been delivered to Box 161. Special Agent Manchas presented Hawthorne with the package that had been intercepted at the Pack-nShip in California. After taking possession of the package, Hawthorne exited the Mailrooms Plus facility and, along with Pillow, was immediately arrested and taken into custody.

Hawthorne agreed to cooperate in exchange for immunity. Among other things, Hawthorne testified before a federal grand jury about Pillow's involvement with Jerecki andNew York City and Paris for modeling work. Dorian also began to work more often in Europe with Richard Avedon. In 1952, Dorian also played the part of a model in the play The Fifth Season. Her job as model, mother, and actress was featured in Look magazine's June 2, 1953, cover story. By then, Dorian had appeared on the covers of more than 50 magazines. On the Look cover, Dorian is quoted as saying, "I would rather have a baby than a mink coat."

The previous summer in Paris, she had met the married Spanish athlete Alfonso Cabeza de Vaca, Marquis of Portago (Alfonso de Portago). Dorian's children again were sent to live with her parents in Florida. Alfonso ("Fon"), was 11 years younger than Dorian. She was

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Tottenham winger Lucas Moura has endorsed a far-right candidate in Brazil’s presidential elections in October.

Congressman Jair Bolsonaro is one of the front-runners in the race but is currently hospitalized after being stabbed by an attacker in the midst of a polarizing campaign.

Moura, who was named the Premier League’s player of theupcoming Denver County Fair. Inspired by Colorado's legal-weed wave, earlier this year the fair announced it would have a pot pavilion that put a stoner spin on traditional county fair festivities, complete with Grateful Dead karaoke and a prize for the best marijuana plant. In the months leading up to the fair, the buzz around the pot component grew big enough that organizers axed a planned beer pavilion and doubled the area devoted to cannabis.

But then we heard that the fair was having trouble attracting entries for its edibles competition. We took the news as a challenge: We were going to take home a blue ribbon by giving the judges the best (and possibly only) pot pastry they had ever tasted. Affirming our choice, our boss agreed to


single most controversial aspect of Colorado's legalization experiment, with weed-infused confections blamed for everything from a murder to a college student's fatal plunge from a balcony.

But while a couple of us seriously overindulged while testing -- the pie was stronger than we expected, and the buzzy, full-body high from it still lingered when we woke up the next day -- the after-effects were mild. We spent a couple of bleary hours sorting ourselves out in the morning, but that was that. It was a fraction of the consequences of a night of heavy drinking, and nothing close to the improbably bad trip that led the New York Times's Maureen Dowd to suggest stamping edibles with a stoned skull and crossbones.

When it came time to submit our final pastryelectrodes on opposed inner faces thereof respectively, the second substrate and the third substrate being overlaid one upon another adjacent to each other, and arranged in a case body having a cover glass with the first substrate facing the cover glass side.
A first polarizing film, a second polarizing film, and a third polarizing film are disposed on the cover glass side of the first substrate, between the second substrate and the third substrate, and on the opposite side to the second liquid crystal layer of the fourth substrate, respectively.
The second polarizing film is a reflection type polarizing film which transmits one of linearly polarized lights of which polarization directions are orthogonal to each other and reflects the other.
The first polarizing film, the first liquid crystal display panel, and


the second polarizing film constitutes an upper display portion, the second polarizing film, the second liquid crystal display panel, and the third polarizing film constitute a lower display portion, and at least the lower display portion performs display on the time.
In the timepiece, it is preferable that the third polarizing film is also a reflection type polarizing film which transmits one of linearly polarized lights of which polarization directions are orthogonal to each other and reflects the other.
Further, it is preferable that the first polarizing film is an absorption type polarizing film which transmits one of linearly polarized lights of which polarization directions are orthogonal to each other and absorbs the other.
Alternatively, the first polarizing film may be a polarizing film in which an absorption type polarizing filmand a reflection type polarizing film are laminated from the cover glass side.
It is preferable to include further a diffusing layer provided between the fourth substrate and the third polarizing film with no diffusing layer provided between the first polarizing film and the second polarizing film.
Further, it is desirable that a space is provided between the second polarizing film and the third substrate. It is preferable that the space is formed by providing a printing layer between the second polarizing film and the third substrate, and the printing layer is used as a panel cover for a time display screen of the lower display portion.
Further, a light source composed of an electro-luminescent (EL) device or the like for emitting light by application of voltage is provided on the


each region of a plurality of regions made by dividing a display region of the upper display portion to apply voltage different in each region to the first liquid crystal layer, and that the upper display portion is configured to be capable of turning into a first state of exhibiting the mirror state within the entire display region, into a second state exhibiting the transmission state or performing part of display on the time such as a second within part of the display region and exhibiting the mirror state within the other region, and into a third state of exhibiting the transmission state within the entire display region.
In this case, it is desirable that while the upper display portion is in the first state or the second state,board and a second elastic body for connecting the second liquid crystal display panel and the circuit board are arranged along the same edge of the circuit board, and the first elastic body is disposed at an outer periphery side of the circuit board than the second elastic body is.
Alternatively, it is also possible that the elastic body for connecting the first liquid crystal display panel and the circuit board and the elastic body for connecting the second liquid crystal display panel and the circuit board are arranged along one edge and the other edge on two different sides of the circuit board.
Further it is desirable that driving signals applied to the first liquid crystal display panel and the second liquid crystal display panel are signals equal in


driving voltage and frequency.
The timepiece according to the present invention enables sophisticated display by laminating the two liquid crystal display panels to constitute the upper display portion and the lower display portion, in combination with the three polarizing films, and by controlling the liquid crystal display panels so that the upper display portion shields (shutter) display contents produced by the lower display portion or display states of the upper display portion and the lower display portion are coordinated.
Further, at least the second polarizing film between the two liquid crystal display panels out of the three polarizing films is composed of a reflection type polarizing film, thereby enabling reflection display and transmission display by the upper display portion. Further, the reflection display is performed in a mirror tone ofthe first liquid crystal display panel and the polarizing films to be recognized.
Furthermore, the provision of the diffusing layer between the second liquid crystal display panel and the third polarizing film increases the contrast ratio between display by the upper display portion and display by the lower display portion.
When display by the lower display portion is performed using an external light source, the display is performed using light made incident through a portion of the upper display portion with a high transmittance, and thus the third polarizing film is used as a reflector or a reflector is provided on the lower side of the third polarizing film to enable bight display.
Especially, a reflection type polarizing film is used as the third polarizing film and the diffusing layer is

Rachel Whalen spends her days living and loving in the vibrant and charming state of Vermont. She has always wanted to be a writer but, for a long time, was lacking a story to tell. After some searching she has found her greatest inspiration from her family; especially her daughter, Dorothy, who was born silently on February 22, 2016. Experiencing Dorothy’s death her made her determined to keep Dorothy’s memory alive and to share her family’s experiences with grief, love, and all that comes with it. When Rachel is not sharing her family’s journey through the unexpected, she enjoys the little things in life alongside her husband, Mike, her daughter, Frances, and their fluffy,a small number of high-profile cases of people who, during this era, had changed from one sex to the other.

One of these was the British writer Jan (formerly James) Morris. Morris, a father of four, had served in the Army in the last days of the Second World War, afterwards working as a foreign correspondent.

His transition into Jan began in the 1960s. Already renowned as an author, James, now Jan, became one of the most famous trans people in the world.

Her 1974 memoir, Conundrum, remains a highly persuasive account of why some people feel a need to transition across the sexes.

In it she describes how she first became aware of feelings of having been ‘born in the wrong body’ at the age of three or four.

The desire to


become a woman became stronger with every year, culminating with gender reassignment surgery in Morocco in 1972 which left her feeling ‘deliciously clean’ and euphoric.

She freely admits, however, that her decision put severe strains on those around her. Before her operation, she’d had to divorce her wife Elizabeth, although they subsequently remarried in 2008 after same-sex partnerships became legal in the UK.

Born a boy in 2000, Jazz Jennings began to appear on social media talking about being transgender at the age of six. At the age of seven, the child was interviewed by the American TV host Barbara Walters, who amongis a delusion. And this undertow of suspicion exists even while society as a whole is being encouraged to accept trans people’s claims on their own terms.

In April 2015, the former Olympic athlete and reality TV star Bruce Jenner came out as a trans and revealed his new identity as Caitlyn Jenner. Within weeks she was on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in a cream-coloured corset.

Germaine Greer made a pariah- by girls she won rights for British journalist Julie Bindel has been one of the most consistent and hard-fighting feminists for decades. But in recent years she has fallen victim to the trans tripwire. In the early part of this century, Bindel started to notice that people who had been born men and were now demanding to


be regarded, and treated, as women (whether they had had any surgery or not) were all over what had been her area. In 2002, she had been incensed by news that a Vancouver rights tribunal had ruled that a male-to-female transsexual named Kimberley Nixon should be allowed to train as a counsellor for female rape victims.

Bindel was not the last feminist to trip the trans wire. In 2015, Germaine Greer was due to deliver a lecture at Cardiff University. However, a significant number of students didn’t want to hear from the most influential feminist of the late 20th Century. Greer’s views on trans issues were, they said, ‘problematic’ and she had demonstrated ‘misogynistic views towards trans women’. Only years earlier, it would have been deemed the height of insanity to dismiss Greer as a misogynist. Yet here they were, claiming that among her crimes was ‘continually misgendering trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether’.

The promotion of Jennings continued unabated. At the age of 11 the Oprah Winfrey Network broadcast a documentary on her called I Am Jazz. It is now in its fifth season and continues to make her, her parents and siblings (who all appear on the show) famous and rich.

The methylenedioxy-derivatives of amphetamine and methamphetamine represent the largest group of designer drugs. The most frequently used compounds are 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA-ecstasy) and 3,4-methylenedioxy-amphetamine (MDA), first synthesised in 1910 (MDA) and 1914 (MDMA), respectively, to be used as an appetite suppressant. At the end of the 1960s, non-medical (recreational) use appeared in the USA, and in the middle of the 1980s in Europe. In Norway, MDMA and related compounds have been detected in forensic samples since the early 1990s. In order to bypass the legal regulations and to produce more potent substances, a number of related compounds have been synthesised, including derivatives with one or more substituents (methoxy, methyl, halogen or sulphur), attached at different positions to the phenylring of amphetamine or


A federal judge in Denver on Monday ordered the consolidation of seven lawsuits brought against the Cinemark theater chain by survivors and relatives of those killed in a shooting rampage in which 12 moviegoers were slain as they watched a Batman film.

U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson also set May 5, 2014, as the earliest start date that any of the personal injury and wrongful death claims against Cinemark could proceed to trial.

Merging the cases and setting a tentative calendar for the litigation came during the first court hearing stemming from civil suits accusing Texas-based Cinemark USA Inc of lax theater security in connection with the July 20 massacre.

Twelve people were killed and 58 wounded when a gunman opened fire on Cinemark patrons in Aurora, during a midnightto streamline pretrial proceedings and avoid duplication of discovery motions and depositions.

The lawsuits stemming from the mass shooting in July accuse Cinemark of failing to take proper precautions to prevent such an outbreak of violence.

The plaintiffs claim, among other things, that the theater should have had more security in place because it was aware of previous crimes in or near the multiplex, including "assaults and robberies" and at least one gang shooting.

Cinemark has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the lawsuits, contending the company and its employees could not have anticipated having to deal with "a madman's mass murder" at the theater.

by Dr. Joan B. Trauner, Excerpted from the version which appeared in California History, Spring 1978, Vol. LVII, No. 1, courtesy of the California Historical Society

Tung Wah Dispensary, opened in 1900 by the Chinese Six Companies at 828 Sacramento St.

Shortly thereafter bubonic plague was discovered in Chinatown; public officials suddenly were faced with the fact that no health facilities existed in Chinatown for the care of plague victims. As early as May, 1900, the surgeon general of the Marine Hospital Service, Dr. Walter Wyman, suggested that one of the more "substantial" buildings in the area should be converted into a pest hospital.[69] The War Department, on the other hand, preferred to see the Chinese quarantined on Angel Island. Neither plan went into effect,


and in April, 1901, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors appropriated funds for the erection of a hospital in Chinatown. The city auditor immediately declared that the appropriation was illegal, and accordingly, the hospital was never constructed.[70]

About the time that plague was discovered in Chinatown, the Chinese Six Companies realized that it was imperative for the Chinese community to organize its own health care system. The result was the Tung Wah Dispensary which opened in 1900 at 828 Sacramento Street. The dispensary, which employed both Western trained physicians and Chinese herbalists, was funded entirely by the Chinese Six Companies, and this dispensary was to be the forerunner of the present-day Chinese Hospital which opened its doors in April, 1925.[71]

In 1900, in addition to financing the dispensary, the ChineseSix Companies instituted legal action to prevent local, state, and national officials from enforcing discriminatory measures aimed at the Chinese. In court, their attorneys won the right for non-licensed Chinese physicians to attend autopsies conducted under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Board of Health. Similarly, their lawyers forced the courts to end the quarantine of Chinatown as ordered by the Board of Health. In May, 1900, when the U.S. Marine Hospital Service imposed a ban on interstate travel by Asiatics, the secretary of the Chinese Six Companies obtained a restraining order from the U.S. circuit court, arguing that such a ban was unfair class legislation.[72]

Public health officials were infuriated by the legal tactics of the Chinese Six Companies. Dr. J. J. Kinyoun, federal quarantine officer for San


Francisco, expressed his indignation in the following statement:

The various injunctions which have been entertained by both state and federal courts ... have all conspired to convince the Chinese Six Companies that they in nowise consider the Chinamen amenable to observe or comply with the health laws of the city, state, or United States. The attitude assumed by this powerful corporation forms a good excuse for the individual Chinaman to follow suit and set at naught and defiance any or all rules and regulations which are considered necessary for the sanitary protection of the citizens of this state and country.[73]

Although the Chinese were extremely hostile to the official anti-plague measures, this lack of cooperation stemmed in part from their unfamiliarity with public health procedures. When quarantine of Chinatown wasfirst instituted, the Chinese attempted to prevent door-to-door inspection by locking up their homes and shops.[74] When health officials attempted to vaccinate the Chinese with Haffkine prophylactic serum, riots broke out in Chinatown.[75] Finally, when health officials came into the area to search for victims of the plague, the sick were reportedly hidden in the cellars and "subterranean passages" of Chinatown.[76] Health officials despaired, neither understanding nor sympathizing with the motives of the Chinese. In the words of J. J. Kinyoun: "We never can expect to accomplish in our dealings with this race what we intend to do."[77] Accordingly, in 1905 after the first episode of the plague had ended, public health officials retreated from Chinatown, unofficially delegating the Chinese Six Companies with the responsibility of caring for


any other group to cooperate with the Board of Health in instituting curative and preventative measures among their own people."[80] In other words, the city had adopted a "hands off" policy with regards to health care among the Chinese. Not until March 1933, when the Chinese Health Center was established in the nurses' room at the Commodore Stockton School, would the city attempt to cope even half-heartedly with the tuberculosis problem in Chinatown.[81]

Today, the outright discrimination against the Chinese has ceased. Nevertheless, a continuing phenomenon is the reluctance of many Chinese--particularly among the aged or non-English speaking immigrant groups--to seek health services outside of the Chinatown area. Thus, while members of the Chinese community routinely seek medical care in hospitals, offices, and clinics throughout San Francisco, Chinatown itselfcontinues to present a unique situation for the organization of health services. In one sense, the Chinese ceased being medical scapegoats by 1905; after that date, advances in medical science made obsolete the nineteenth-century policy of condemning the Chinese as "carriers of alien disease." However, the failure of the City and County of San Francisco to provide health services within Chinatown was to have a more enduring effect. As late as 1967, the only outpatient facility furnishing acute medical services to the Chinese indigent in Health District IV (Chinatown-North Beach) was the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Clinic, located in North Beach and funded in part by the United Crusade and by the San Francisco Department of Public Health.[82] The city facility--the Northeast Health Center--was housed during this period in


the basement of the Ping Yuen Housing complex; a tuberculosis clinic, a well-baby clinic, dental services, an immunization center, and a public health nursing service were all provided in 1200 square feet of converted laundry space.[83] In other words, a paucity of medical services existed in Chinatown as late as the 1960's; not until the 1970's was the situation finally remedied.

Dutch Kills, a small community and part of Long Island City, happens to be the site of the first European community in Queens. It's a quiet and safe neighborhood with small two and three-story homes, and is two stops from Bloomingdale's.

Not only has our quiet and sweet community been 'rolled over' by the Department of City Planning, but now the Department of City Planning continues to make poor decisions that will further harm the only historic artifacts that link Dutch Kills of today to the Dutch Kills of hundreds of years ago.

NEW YORK: W.W. NORTON, 2002. PP. xxii + 282. Globalization and its Discontents is an enjoyable and thoughtprovoking book. It is probably the most readable, well-argued, and subtle attack against globalization in the past few years. Although the author fights, in a rather dogmatic style with some shades of arrogance, against what he believes to be devious free-market attitudes, his prose is simple and accessible to a wide audience. But it is also deceptive. While the author emphasizes time and again that he is not leveling an attack against market principles and globalization in general, he advocates Keynesian policymaking (money printing and deficit spending) on virtually every page. It is an enjoyable book for the reader in search of the perfect

Journal of Libertarian Studies 18, no. 1 (Winter 2004) chapter of the book). Some readers might also question its logic. As the following pages will explain, these doubts are justified. The foreword to the book sets the pace. While taking good care to inform the possibly unaware reader about his fundamental contributions to economic science, Professor Stiglitz, the 2001 Nobel Laureate, reveals that he became interested in real-world matters in 1993 when he joined the Clinton administration. He later continued his career at the World Bank where he was chief economist and senior vice president. The author claims that this book is the result oflarge and very specific military plans which require the use of all Allied forces to bring about the defeat of our enemies at the earliest possible time.

But there were no secret treaties or political or financial commitments.

The one supreme objective for the future, which we discussed for each Nation individually, and for all the United Nations, can be summed up in one word: Security.

And that means not only physical security which provides safety from attacks by aggressors. It means also economic security, social security, moral security—in a family of Nations.

In the plain down-to-earth talks that I had with the Generalissimo and Marshal Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill, it was abundantly clear that they are all most deeply interested in the resumption of peaceful progress by their own peoples—progress


part of anyone—Government or management or labor—can lengthen this war. It can kill American boys.

Let us remember the lessons of 1918. In the summer of that year the tide turned in favor of the allies. But this Government did not relax. In fact, our national effort was stepped up. In August, 1918, the draft age limits were broadened from 21-31 to 18-45. The President called for "force to the utmost," and his call was heeded. And in November, only three months later, Germany surrendered.

That is the way to fight and win a war—all out—and not with half-an-eye on the battlefronts abroad and the other eye-and-a-half on personal, selfish, or political interests here at home.

Therefore, in order to concentrate all our energies and resources on winning the war, andreceived a joint recommendation for this law from the heads of the War Department, the Navy Department, and the Maritime Commission. These are the men who bear responsibility for the procurement of the necessary arms and equipment, and for the successful prosecution of the war in the field. They say:

"When the very life of the Nation is in peril the responsibility for service is common to all men and women. In such a time there can be no discrimination between the men and women who are assigned by the Government to its defense at the battlefront and the men and women assigned to producing the vital materials essential to successful military operations. A prompt enactment of a National Service Law would be merely an expression of the universality


History

Significance of the Forest Tradition

The Forest tradition began in the time of the Buddha and has waxed and waned throughout Buddhist history. Actually, the Forest tradition in one sense even predates the Buddha, as it was a common practice of spiritual seekers in ancient India to leave the life of town and village and wander in the wilderness and mountains. The Buddha himself joined this tradition at age twenty-nine, giving up his life as a prince in order to seek the way beyond birth, aging, sickness, and death.

The Buddha was born in the forest, enlightened in the forest, taught in the forest, and passed away in the forest. Many of his greatest disciples, such as Venerable Añña Kondañña and Venerable Maha Kassapa, were strict forest dwellers who maintainedan austere renunciant lifestyle. The Buddha allowed determined forest-dwelling monks, such as these two, to cultivate thirteen special practices, called dhutanga practices, which limited their robes, food, and dwelling places. These special renunciation practices, along with the practice of dwelling in nature provided the fundamental backdrop for Forest monasticism throughout Theravada Buddhist history.

Many of the Buddha's disciples chose to live in forest wilderness areas because their ruggedness and danger provided excellent arenas for spiritual training. In addition to the tigers, snakes and other challenges of wilderness dwelling, there was also the simplicity and natural beauty which afforded a suitable setting for pleasant abiding and joyful meditative concentration. Furthermore, by living in the forest, the monks were able to set a positive example for future generations.

The practices of these


early forest dwellers exemplified the path to liberation. Since the time of the Buddha and his early disciples, the discipline of the monastic order and the integrity of the Buddha’s teachings have experienced numerous cycles of growth and decline. Throughout these cycles, the original ethos of the Buddha’s teachings has been preserved both through the example of these early forest-dwelling disciples and also through the efforts of later monastics who also focused on meditation practice, simplicity, and renunciation.

The way of practice, the teachings, and the codes of monastic conduct which the Buddha expounded 2,500 years ago, run deeply against the grain of worldly concerns such as material success, wealth, power, fame, pleasure, and status. The presence of a monastic order can be a great boon to a societyby providing a source of wisdom, peace, and clarity that transcends these worldly concerns. Alternatively, however, worldly concerns can enter into and distort monastic life. Historically, one way this has happened is when monks and nuns focused on meditation become accomplished in their practice, and then become well-known teachers, drawing to their monasteries many visitors bearing gifts and offerings. The very success and reputation of these teachers draws wealth, power, and fame into the monastery. Without constant heedfulness, the ways of the world might then enter into the monastic order, generating corrupt and obese monastic institutions. In such times, the practice of Forest monasticism by wise teachers concerned with spiritual living, discipline, and meditation, rather than institutional rank and official responsibility, plays a crucial role in revitalizing the

With files from the Victoria Times Colonistexamples where owners in the dynasty community can set their rosters back by making decisions solely based on what they feel their franchise needs. Numerous rookie drafts during the 2013 season, which in the opinion of many was a weak class, saw very talented players drop in the draft and provide tremendous value to owners drafting in those later spots. Keenan Allen, Eddie Lacy, and Christine Michael are three players that come to mind immediately when discussing the talent portion of the 2013 rookie class.

Allen entered the NFL draft process coming off of a knee injury and being “red-flagged” for a drug test during the NFL Combine, both of which caused his NFL and dynasty stock to fall. Toss into the mix that Allen was playing at the


University of California with a less than ideal quarterback situation; Allen was seen as a receiver that may or may not produce in the NFL (all this after being the presumptive 1.01 the previous year). While being selected in the 3rd round of the NFL draft, Allen was a regular in the late 1st/early 2nd round of dynasty rookie drafts. Allen has since found himself in Rookie of the Year discussions after posting 71 catches for 1,046 yards and 8 TD’s and established himself in the top 10-15 in dynasty WR rankings.

Eddie Lacy came into the NFL with plenty of criticism as well. Lacy’s weight, previous toe injury concerns, and potential timeshare in the backfield with Jonathan Franklin (who I still feel is a talented player) all causedbased solely on their NFL landing spot.

Tavon Austin was a player that many dynasty rookie drafts saw flying off the board early in the first round. Austin had a productive college career, his tape was seen as being more than solid, and he was being evaluated as a player that who could provide production in all facets of the game. After being selected 8th overall by the St. Louis Rams Austin’s rookie pick value did nothing but jump, as he was coveted as a PPR goldmine. However, looking deeper into Austin’s landing spot in St. Louis could provide one with plenty of reasons to avoid him as one of the top overall picks. A look at the St. Louis WR situation, a team that has not produced a


1,000 yard WR since Torrey Holt in 2007, showed no other trust worthy option for QB Sam Bradford. Players like Austin seem to require other viable threats to create space to allow them to work. Chris Givens, Austin Pettis, and Brian Quick have done nothing to prove that they are the weapons on the outside that will open up space for Austin. After a rookie season of 40 catches for 418 yards and six total TD’s (with three of those coming in one game), Austin has not lived up to the billing as a top pick from the 2013 rookie drafts.

Montee Ball is another player that rocketed up dynasty draft boards once he was selected in the 2nd round by a Denver. Denver was a team that hadFriday, December 04, 2015

Those Crazy Kids and Their Crazy Flying Machines

This year, we've seen a number of important developments in the race to bring personal flyers to market. A team of flying enthusiasts from Hungary took to the skies in a proof of concept tricopter named Flike in March, Malloy Aeronautics announced plans to develop its Hoverbike for the US Department of Defense at the Paris Air Show in June, and the JB-9 made its maiden flight around the Statue of Liberty just last month. Now a team of students from Singapore has joined the fray with a battery electric multicopter called Snowstorm that's being designed for recreational flying.

The Snowstorm vertical take-off and landing prototype is the culmination of two semesters' work under a collaborative program at the


the County notified appellant that his proposal had been rejected. The County also informed appellant that, after private negotiation with two concessionaires who had submitted proposals, the County had decided to divide Package I and to award the four newsstand concessions to Elson's News and Gift Shops, Inc., and to make a separate award of the two giftshop concessions to Zodiac Corporation.[2] The County stated that its decision had been based solely on consideration of the financial return to the County.
Appellant commenced this action in equity by seeking an injunction to prohibit the County from executing a contract with Elson's until formal bidding procedures had been satisfied and until appellant had been afforded an opportunity to submit a proposal for the operation of the four newsstands. Elson's wasundertook to solicit and receive proposals which conformed to the requirements set forth in its Request for Proposals and to evaluate the proposals pursuant to a specified set of criteria. The County's Request for Proposals explicitly stated that one concessionaire would be selected to operate four newsstands and two gift shops and that the County would not entertain proposals for separate operation of the newsstands and gift shops. The Request for Proposals also listed several criteria for evaluation of the proposals and assigned a numerical weight to each criterion, including a weight of 15% for the financial return to the County. However, after all proposals had been submitted, the County both divided Package I and based its decision solely on the financial return to the County.
The unfairness inherent


in the County's conduct is evident. Appellant specifically asked County officials to permit him to submit a proposal to operate only the four newsstand concessions. After appellant's request had been rejected, and after appellant had invested the time and effort necessary to prepare a proposal in accordance with the County's guidelines, the County awarded to Elson's the very same concession package for which appellant had unsuccessfully sought to submit a proposal.
The County concedes that it divided Package I and extended only to Elson's and Zodiac Corporation the opportunity to bid on the modified concession packages, but argues that there was no unfairness in its doing so. In the County's view, because it was not statutorily obliged to engage in competitive bidding when it first embarked upon the newIn early June the Rays signed Cuban first baseman Jose Julio Ruiz to a minor-league contract that included a unique stipulation where they had to decide by mid-November whether to give him a four-year, $4 million deal or let him go.
