to murder” in the burning death of a paralyzed Christian during the 2008 attacks on Christians in Orissa state’s Kandhamal district and sentenced to only six years of prison.

UCAN agency reported that Sushanta Sahu and Tukuna Sahu were convicted and sentenced on Wednesday (June 30) in the death of Rasananda Pradhan, a paralytic burned alive when Hindu extremists set his house on fire on Aug. 24, 2008. Church leaders criticized the lenient sentences.

Manoj Pradhan has been charged in 14 cases related to the August-September 2008 anti-Christian attacks. In seven of the cases he has been acquitted, he was convicted of “grievous hurt” in this one, and six more are pending against him.

Of the 14 cases in which he faces charges, seven involve murder; of those murder cases, heand then killed him by cutting him into pieces and burning him.

Rekha Nayak filed a complaint and a case was registered against Pradhan, Mallick and others for murder, destroying evidence, rioting and unlawful assembly. Pradhan was arrested on Oct. 16, 2008, from Berhampur, and in December 2009 he obtained bail from the Orissa High Court.

Despite his role in the attacks, Pradhan was the only BJP candidate elected from the G. Udayagiri constituency in the 2009 Assembly elections from Kandhamal district. He had campaigned inside jail.

On March 14, Rekha Nayak and her daughter Lipsa testified in court in spite of the threats. Rekha Nayak reportedly testified that when the Hindu mob demanded that her husband renounce Christianity or face death, he kept quiet, which led to his death.

Prosecution and


defense lawyers questioned Lipsa for more than 90 minutes, and she reportedly answered all questions without wavering. Asked by the judge if she could identify the killer of her father, she pointed to Pradhan.

So far he has been exonerated of murder charges against him for “lack of witnesses.” Christian leaders say that Pradhan has been intimidating witnesses because of his position as a member of the Legislative Assembly.

The government of Orissa has set up two Fast Track courts to try cases related to the violence that spread to more than a dozen districts of Orissa. The attacks killed more than 100 people and burned 4,640 houses, 252 churches and 13 educational institutions.

Trials are being held for 38 cases in which 154 people have been convicted and more thanrally to be held next February, Hindu nationalists attacked a house church in the district’s Bamhni Banjar village on May 2, Christian leaders said.

More than 100 Hindu devotees from Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra attended the ground-breaking ceremony in Mandla, reported Patrika newspaper. A source present disclosed that leaders announced a list of objectives to be achieved before the festival, with one prominent agenda item being to drive away Christian pastors, evangelists and foreign aid workers from the district.

The newspaper quoted four Hindu leaders who have spoken out against foreign Christians and renewed their oath to obtain “reconversions” from supposed Hindus who had become Christians. The leaders pledged to “cleanse Mandla of Christians” and cleanse the Narmada River by means of the kumbh.

The Maa Narmada Samajik


“social kumbh” began in 2006 with the Shabri Kumbh in Dangs, Gujarat – described as an attempt to counter the influence of foreign Christian workers in the area. It resulted in propaganda against Christians and heightened tensions.

Besides hate speeches before, during and after the event, the kumbh also led to the beating of Christians, with many abandoning the area, and much loss of Christian property, including graveyards. Christian graves were dug up and crosses desecrated.

A Compact Disc produced by the Shabri Kumbh Samaroh Aayojan Samiti (Organizing Committee) entitled “Shri Shabri Kumbh 2006: Spirituality along with the Wave of Patriotism,” was banned by the Supreme Court of India because it incites “Hindus against the Christian community and suggests that Christians be attacked and beheaded.”

The CDs were widely circulated, distributedand openly sold in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, as well as in northeastern states.

NEW DELHI, March 3 (CDN) — Attacks on Christians last month in Punjab state following protests against banners depicting Jesus drinking and smoking were eerily similar to the anti-Christian violence in Orissa state in 2007 and 2008, according to a fact-finding mission.

“I was struck by the similarities between the attacks in northern Punjab state and the violence in eastern Orissa state in 2007 and 2008,” said Dr. John Dayal, a member of the All India Christian Council (AICC) fact-finding mission, which released the report yesterday.

Dayal pointed out that factors such as the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) being part of the ruling coalition, police inaction, coordination of attacks and support of the


there in August-September 2008, after the assassination of Saraswati by a Maoist group, as Christians were falsely blamed for it. The attacks killed more than 100 people and burned 4,640 houses, 252 churches and 13 educational institutions.

Following the Feb. 20 attacks, the AICC fact-finding team visited the affected region from Feb. 22 to Feb. 25. In its report, it gave an account of the attacks in Batala town near Amritsar city in Gurdaspur district in west Punjab, where most Christians are from Dalit (formerly “untouchable” according to Hinduism’s caste hierarchy) backgrounds.

It reported that supporters of the Hindu extremist Sangh Parivar burned the 1865-built Church of the Epiphany belonging to the Church of North India (CNI) denomination on Feb. 20. They also tried to destroy a nearby Salvation Armychurch, built in 1958, and attacked its pastor, Gurnam Singh, leaving him seriously injured.

The Sangh Parivar is the family of outfits under the umbrella of India’s chief Hindu nationalist organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), seen also as the parent body of the BJP.

“Even as the larger group of attackers focused on burning the CNI church, a group of men armed with sticks and rods came to the house of the CNI deacon,” the report notes. “The deacon, Victor Gill, and his wife Parveen, hid themselves under the bed. The assailants damaged the doors, tried to enter the room forcibly, and told the couple they would be burnt alive if they did not come out.”

At the same time, the report notes, Hindu nationalists at a second CNI house


overturned a scooter, took gas from it and doused teacher Christopher Morris and his daughter Daisy with the fuel while her mother, Usha, cringed in their home.

“They tried to set the two on fire, but the matchbox had also been soaked in the petrol, and despite three attempts to strike a match, the matchsticks would not ignite, saving the family from being burnt alive,” the report states.

Provoked and Attacked

Christians were attacked while they were trying to enforce an area-wide closure of markets to protest a picture of Jesus Christ holding a can of beer in one hand a lit cigarette in another. It appeared on roadside banners in preparation for a Hindu festival, Ram Navami (the birthday of Rama), which falls on March 24 this year.

“The banners weresponsored by a coalition of local political, media and business leaders, together with the trading community, which is almost entirely Hindu,” said the report without identifying the sponsors.

The Rev. Madhu Chandra, AICC’s regional secretary, also a fact-finding team member, told Compass that the banners were apparently put up to provoke Christians and then launch attacks on them. The fact-finding team included attorney M. Adeeb of the Human Rights Law Network and Marang Hansda of the AICC.

The offensive picture of Jesus was taken from a cursive writing exercise book for Class I of a private school in Shillong, the capital of the northeastern state of Meghalaya, reported the Press Trust of India on Feb. 18. Published by Skyline Publication, the book used the picture to illustrate the alphabet “I”


traces of fuel oil used in the blaze. This was done before a formal enquiry could be conducted by the government.”

Referring to the police inaction, Dayal pointed out that “the BJP, as in Orissa during 2007 and 2008, is in power in Punjab as member of the coalition government with the regional Shironami Akali Dal party.

Female visitors said to be merely attending Bible study with fellow believers.

ISTANBUL, March 31 (Compass Direct News) – The Moroccan government announced on Sunday (March 29) it had expelled five foreign female Christians for trying to “proselytize” in the Islamic country, although sources said they were foreign visitors merely attending a Bible study with fellow Christians.

The accused women were among 23 tourists, expatriates and Moroccans arrested in Casablanca on Saturday during what theand theological dimension and copes with the social and cultural realms,” they wrote. “Thus, Christians are engaged in various activities alongside Muslims, share the same values and goals and are not afraid of showing their differences.”

Blanc pastors a French Pentecostal church in Casablanca, a congregation mostly made up of expatriates from across Africa. He has criticized independent foreign mission groups, mainly out of worry that they could upset a delicate religious balance in the Sunni Muslim country.

Catholic and Protestant churches have been operating in Morocco for more than a century, and “have learned over the years to live in harmony with the country and its people,” he said in the statement.

In 2007 the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Endowments claimed that foreign missionaries had converted more than 3,000


more likely to get amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, than the average population (Scientific American, February 2012). The problem today has become nearly epidemic—with an estimated 300,000 football concussions a year among youth, high school, college, and NFL players. Moreover, due to players concealing their injuries and coaches and trainers failing to detect them, many experts believe that number could be low by a factor of two. To counter the concussion problem, the NFL, the colleges, and the helmet manufacturers have attempted some or all of the following: improving the helmet designs; enforcing harsh penalties and severe fines for spearing or other intentional helmet to helmet contacts; identifying concussed players and keeping them sidelined long enough for symptoms to fully subside (sometimes several weeks); trying to better quantifyfewer concussions than the struck (hit) players and one reason might be because the striking players may have tensed their neck muscles in preparation for the impact while the struck players may be caught unawares. Another reason is presented later when it can be better understood.
But since no football player's neck is totally rigid, the allowed motions need to be considered to better understand FIG. 4, with its non-correlating angular and linear acceleration levels. The neck contains seven cervical vertebrae that connect the skull to the thoracic vertebrae and the rest of the body. The neck can curve one way at the top by the head and another way at the bottom where it joins the more massive body. At the bottom, the neck can bend forward toward


how easily a player's head can be jerked around, for example, when another player yanks his facemask.
It is a fundamental assertion of the present invention that high angular acceleration of the head is the primary causer of brain injury in a head impact, and, conversely that high linear acceleration of the head is not the main injury causer, except through its contribution to head angular acceleration via the previously described head-neck pendulum motion. At the heart of this assertion largely vindicating linear acceleration is the contention that, contrary to popular belief, when the skull is suddenly stopped in a helmet-to-helmet collision, the brain does not continue on unimpeded to crash against the inside of the skull in the direction of the impact, then to potentially rebound to crashreported on by Broglio, et al, in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2010, followed 78 high school football players wearing Riddell Revolution helmets instrumented with the previously described Head Impact Telemetry System, (HITS) through four seasons of practices and games from 2005 to 2008. In all, 54,247 impacts were recorded (the impacts triggered whenever one of the accelerometer channels from the six dual axis units exceeded a threshold of 15 Gs). The data included 13 impacts that resulted in concussions. The recorded average peak linear acceleration levels were about 26 Gs, and the average peak angular acceleration levels were about 1,600 rad/sec2, very similar to the previously cited data. But this study is more valuable because it includes data from actual concussion-causing impacts. From the data,


attached chin protector is fastened to the head cap, which is conformal to and moves with the head, and the chin strap is not fastened or otherwise attached to the outer shell, which has been enabled by the special configuration of the connecting viscoelastic polymeric foam material to be able to move relative to the head cap and the head both linearly and angularly. After an impact, where the outer shell has moved linearly and angularly relative to the head cap and the head, the specially configured liner either causes the outer shell to automatically return to its initial pre-impact start position relative to the head cap and the head, or it enables that return to be manually completed.
In a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, whereinkept Sheed from being in the proper position to defend the shot.

The year the Pistons lost to the Spurs in 2004-05, we had Big-Ben and the other 4 guys were all 2 years younger than last year.

The only problem with the logic here is that Sheed admitted he was supposed to stay home and he screwed up....so there goes the argument that LB coached it poorly.

Not to mention he got two different teams to the NBA finals. (Philly and Detroit. He ran into Shaq and Kobe as the Philly coach.) A total of three trips. Seems he got Indiana pretty far along one year too. And his record of getting mediocre teams into the playoffs is very impressive indeed.

Six hours of talk with police and relatives fail; man accused of killing two academics shoots himself dead.

WANCHAI Danaitamonut, a lecturer at Phranakhon Rajabhat University, who is suspected of murdering two colleagues on Wednesday, shot himself dead after police tracked him down to a Bangkok hotel yesterday.

After six hours of negotiations with police, and also his relatives, Wanchai shot himself at around 6.45pm. He was taken to a hospital and was later pronounced dead, according to police. All through the day, the suspect had pointed his pistol to his temple during the negotiations for his surrender.

The standoff, broadcast live by many television channels, continued into the evening.

Wanchai was accused of shooting dead two doctorate-degree holders – PichaiChaisongkram, 56, and Nattapon Chumwor-athayee, 54 – while they were giving an oral exam to a master’s student on campus.

The motive was believed to be Wanchai’s alleged conflict with Pichai over academic qualifications. It remains unclear if Wanchai also had issues with Nattapon.

As an army of TV cameramen and reporters observed the standoff inside and in the parking lot of the hotel on Suttisan Winitchai Soi 1, police brought two senior relatives of Wanchai and two students to the scene to convince him to put down the gun, which he kept pointing to his temple, while standing next to his car within the hotel compound.

Earlier in the morning, one of Wanchai’s relatives identified only as Heng testified to police at 1pm about a Line message in which Wanchai

Meanwhile, instances of politically motivated threats against climate scientists mounted. Peter Gleick, a hydro-climatologist and co-founder of the Pacific Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, reported to the Japan Times that he received death threats in the form of pictures of guns posted to him after he tweeted critically about threats of violence to scientists made by Brietbart on Twitter.

Jerry Brown, Governor of California Vows to Fight Against Trump’s Anti-Science Agenda

Concern for scientists as a class increasingly victimized by political extremists like Trump hit a fever pitch this week at the AmericanGeophysical Union Conference in San Francisco. There, hundreds of pro-science protesters marched outside as the meeting halls swelled with over 20,000 worried scientists and their supporters.

Among the attendees was Governor Jerry Brown of California who delivered this impassioned speech:

(Jerry Brown has pushed for pro-renewable energy, pro-climate response policies in California for decades. He has vowed to defend both science and progressive values from an impending assault by Donald Trump. Video source: YouTube.)

Brown highlighted the tremendous danger that human civilizations now face. The oceans are rising and acidifying, the weather is worsening, habitats, food and water sources are being destroyed. He also noted that in order to prevent climate harms, people would have to face down both “big oil” and “big financial structures that are at odds with the

At least five English-language Twitter accounts needling the Russian government had been suspended as of May 31, though three of those were later reinstated after apparently appealing to the California-based company.

The popular @DarthPutinKGB account, however, remained suspended late on May 31. The Twitter feed mocks Russian President Vladimir Putin, playfully asserting that it is, in fact, the one being parodied by the Kremlin’s official Twitter feed.

Fans of the feed swiftly launched the hashtag campaign #NoTwitterGulagForDarthPutinKGB in support.

But the man who says he runs two of the frozen accounts in question, aside from @DarthPutinKGB, told RFE/RL in an online chat that he believes the Russian Foreign Ministry may have been behind the Twitter suspensions.

He noted that the accounts were frozen shortly after Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova complained on Facebook about a Euronews article that had embedded a tweet from @SovietSergey but later removed it.

The man declined to identify himself, though RFE/RL was able to corroborate his affiliation with the accounts through screenshots. He said he is directly responsible for two of the accounts, and collaborates on the other two.

of the strings, by supporting said tailpieces.
With round-hole guitars built in a conventional manner utilizing a fixed interior tailblock, as explained above, access to the interior of the guitar, such as for maintenance purposes, is extremely difficult. Normally such access is possible only by first removing the strings, whereupon an individual can then insert his hand through the hole in the sounding board in an attempt to gain access to the interior of the guitar body. Even with the strings removed, access to some internal areas is very awkward. In the case of guitars built with "f" holes instead of a single round hole, the back must usually be removed to gain more than the most limited access to the interior of the instrument. Needless to say, thiswall, such as incorporating a removable back panel, this has proven undesirable since the back wall of the guitar body is an important vibrating member. Thus, mounting the electronics on the back wall, and incorporating a removable back panel into the back wall, thus seriously affects the acoustical properties of the guitar.
With respect to mounting the electronics on a removable panel associated with one of the side walls or rim, similar to that disclosed in the above-identified French patent, this type structure is also unsatisfactory since it increases the overall complexity of the guitar construction in view of the thin and delicate nature of the curved side wall, and necessitates adding additional supporting blocks, and hence mass, to the side wall or rim, which supporting blocks are also

This removable tailblock assembly permits an individual to readily insert his hand and arm into the interior of the guitar body so that the interior bracing or the headblock can be conveniently adjusted or serviced. This adjustment and access is possible without requiring removal of the guitar strings. The removable tailblock assembly also facilitates the mounting of electronic components therein in situations where electronic amplification of the sound is desired. The electronic components are mounted directlygreatly improved access to any interior electronic components if same are utilized, without affecting either the construction, structure, appearance or acoustical characteristics of the guitar.

This improved tailblock assembly provides a ringlike tailblock which is disposed in the interior of the guitar body and extends between the top and bottom walls, and is secured to the inner face of the end portions of the curved side walls at their junction. The end portions of the side walls have notches or openings formed therein which align with the opening in the tailblock. A ringlike insert is fixedly positioned within these latter openings, and is fixedly secured to

Search for details on early residents of Emiquon area continues

As water fills Thompson Lake and wildlife returns to the Emiquon flood plain in Fulton County, archaeologists are trying to discover more about the people who once lived there.

Chris Young

As water fills Thompson Lake and wildlife returns to the Emiquon flood plain in Fulton County, archaeologists are trying to discover more about the people who once lived there.

Jason Beverlin of The Nature Conservancy says about 2 billion gallons of water now cover 2,000 acres in the more than 7,000-acre restoration. Fish are thriving, and unusual birds — such as black-necked stilts — are finding the preserve to their liking.

On the loess-capped hills above the lakes and just across Illinois 78/97, American Indians once lived and tried to tap intoEmiquon’s bounty.

The flood plain across the river from Havana once supported a pair of backwater lakes and was considered one of the most productive areas on the river for fish and wildlife.

The 7,100-acre Emiquon Preserve was a large farming operation before the conservancy purchased it in 2000. Its two lakes, Thompson and Flag, were cut off from the Illinois River by levees, drained and farmed by the 1920s.

Jodie O’Gorman of Michigan State University is directing excavation of a village site that dates back to A.D. 1300. She is overseeing a dozen undergraduate and two graduate students, along with local volunteers who are patiently sifting through earth looking at everything larger than a pebble.

The excavation is conducted in partnership with nearby Dickson Mounds Museum and Michael Conner, the museum’s


year of the dig will wrap up soon, before the summer sun makes it too hot to be out all day. Dickson Mounds and Michigan State have a multi-year agreement to continue the work, and O’Gorman plans to be back next year.

The restoration also is giving scientists a glimpse into why people found the area so enticing.

As a pontoon boat driven by the conservancy’s David Hedrick crossed an expanding Thompson Lake, blue-winged teal, American coots and American egrets took flight. A handful of black-necked stilts, with peculiarly hinged legs, waded in the shallows.
Stilts appear to have knees hinged to bend in the wrong direction. But the joint visible actually is the ankle.

Spooked by the boat, a white-tailed deer splashed through the marshy ground at the edge of theplaintiff. The primary question is whether the circuit court acted properly in refusing to enforce a contractual clause prohibiting the award of consequential damages. There is also a sufficiency of the evidence challenge to the court's award of warranty damages. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.

BACKGROUND
Plaintiff Shante Razor purchased a new Hyundai Sonata from Gartner Buick, Inc. (Gartner), on August 4, 2001. At the time she purchased the car, plaintiff also bought an optional remote starter and alarm system from an "options" booklet shown to her by the Gartner salesman. Gartner subcontracted the installation of this starter to Professional Sound Installers (ProSound). ProSound did not install it on the date plaintiff purchased her vehicle, but a few weeks later, on August 30, 2001.
The Sonata was


to Gartner for service on October 6, October 16, and October 25. On the latter occasion, Gartner kept the vehicle for more than two weeks, providing plaintiff with a rental car to use during the time the vehicle was out of her possession. Nevertheless, the problem happened again on November 21, the day before Thanksgiving, when plaintiff had taken the day off from work to go shopping for the holiday. After a technician came to her home and was himself unable *612 to start the car, the vehicle was yet again towed to Gartner for attempted repairs.
Sometimes after being towed to Gartner the vehicle started normally, other times it did not. Gartner technicians attempted various different repairs on the different occasions that the car appeared before them, includingreplacing the starter, replacing the "ECU power relay," replacing the remote starter with an updated system, and replacing the "trans range switch" and "starter relay." Additionally, after the October 25 no-start, when the vehicle was kept for more than two weeks, ProSound removed the remote starter it had originally installed on plaintiff's vehicle and replaced it with an updated model. Plaintiff was not charged for any of the attempted repairs.
In December 2001, plaintiff filed suit against defendant, Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai). Plaintiff made claims against Hyundai pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq. (2000)) for breach of written warranty and breach of implied warranty of merchantability. Plaintiff also alleged that Hyundai had violated the Illinois New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act (815 ILCS 380/1


et seq. (West 2000)).
The case initially went to arbitration. The arbitration panel found in plaintiff's favor, and entered an award of $6,500, plus attorney fees and costs. Hyundai rejected this award and demanded trial.
The case went to trial in February 2003. Plaintiff was the sole witness for her case, and most of the above undisputed facts are drawn from her testimony. In addition, plaintiff testified that she never saw the actual warranty until after she had purchased the car, because the warranty was contained in the owner's manual, which she saw for the first time in the glove box of her vehicle when she drove it off the lot. Plaintiff's purchase contract, a copy of which was introduced into evidence, does not appear to contain or refer tothe vehicle warranty. When asked on cross-examination if she had seen the warranty on a placard at Gartner, plaintiff testified that she had not. Plaintiff testified that she had performed all required maintenance on her car, had never been in an accident or been the victim of vandalism, and that no one other than Gartner had ever performed any repairs on the vehicle.
During plaintiff's direct examination, defense counsel objected when plaintiff's counsel inquired regarding her purchase of prior automobiles. During a lengthy sidebar, counsel explained that he was attempting to lay a foundation in order to ask her how much the car's value to her had decreased because of the problems she had with it. The court ruled that plaintiff could not answer such a question. The court


warranty. Moreover, plaintiff testified without contradiction that she never saw any part of the written warranty, much less the disclaimer of consequential damages, until she looked in her owner's manual after she had signed the contract and driven the car off the lot. Thus, on this record, we must conclude that the warranty information, including the disclaimer of consequential damages, was not made available to the plaintiff at or before the time she signed the purchase contract.
In its petition for rehearing, Hyundai argues that the disclaimer is not procedurally unconscionable because it was written in capital letters in "plain, simple, understandable language, not legalese," that was "easy to see and easy to read." These aspects of the disclaimer are irrelevant, however, in the case of a limitation oftime of sale, it must be made available to the purchaser at or before the time the purchaser signs the sale contract. In the case at bar, as noted, the warranty was included in the owner's manual, which was in the glove compartment of the car, and plaintiff apparently did not see the warranty until after she signed the purchase contract and drove the car off the lot. In the majority's view, the inclusion of the warranty in the glove compartment of the car did not constitute the conveying of the warranty at the time of sale. However, Hyundai appears to argue in its petition for rehearing that such inclusion of the warranty in the glove compartment did constitute providing the warranty "at the time of sale." The


which the majority's decision here is objectionable. The majority reasons that, because Hyundai's consequential damages disclaimer was not provided to plaintiff at or before the time she signed the purchase contract, this exclusion was not part of the agreement and is void and unenforceable. However, according to the record evidence cited by the majority, it was the entire warranty, and not just the consequential damages exclusion, that was unavailable to plaintiff at the time she signed the contract. As the majority asserts:

*633 "[P]laintiff testified without contradiction that she never saw any part of the written warranty, much less the disclaimer of consequential damages, until she looked in her owner's manual after she had signed the contract and driven the car off the lot.

The Court of Appeals held that the warranty went into effect on the date the plaintiff bought the car. The court therefore reversed the grant of summary judgment in favor of Toyota. In reaching this conclusion, the court conceded that "it was the actions of Tri-Nordic, not Toyota, which resulted in the damage to the car that in turn led to this lawsuit." Wilbur, 86 F.3d at 27.

The Next-Generation Weapons That Russia Will Use Against The United States In World War III

By Michael Snyder, on March 30th, 2015

The Russian military is in the midst of a sweeping modernization program, and it is currently developing some incredibly impressive offensive and defensive next-generation weapons that are designed to be used in a future war with the United States. The key to winning World War III will be to strike hard and to strike fast, and the Russians understand this. Meanwhile, the U.S. military has totally shifted gears from a “Cold War mindset” and is now completely focused on fighting smaller regional wars in the Middle East and elsewhere.

As a result, U.S. strategic forces have suffered. There has been very little effort to modernize, andonly against the most important targets, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, AWACS and jamming aircraft.

Sadly, most Americans do not believe that there is even a remote possibility that we will ever fight a war with Russia.

As a result, most Americans will never see the point of articles like this one.

But over in Russia, anti-American sentiment is at an all-time high and many of their talking heads and intellectuals are now convinced that a shooting war with the United States is inevitable.

Mahdi to return by 2016, followed by Jesus?

Mainstream Muslim website makes official announcement

Leo Hohmann is a news editor for WND. He has been a reporter and editor at several suburban newspapers in the Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina, areas and also served as managing editor of Triangle Business


for years. In September 2012, WND reported that former President Mahmoud Amadinejad delivered a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in which he claimed the table was set for a “new world order” based on rule by the coming Mahdi, also called the 12th imam in Shiite Islam.

Richardson’s documentary film interprets the events of the Arab Spring in light of biblical prophecy. He traveled throughout Turkey and the Middle East in 2013 to interview Christian, Jewish and Islamic leaders, comparing their views on the last-days apocalypse, including the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

In a late 2014 interview with Christian radio host Reggie Sternes, Richardson said he changed the focus of his ministry after the 9/11 attacks. He says Islam represents a major challenge to Christianity,would fight the disease and come
home. This was one of the very few promises he never kept.

His great joy was gardening with my mother. Both awoke in the
early morn and retired from a long day of pruning, planting, weeding and
resting. This will be the first spring my dad will rest with nature rather than
assisting it.

My dad was not afraid of dying and his one request of me was
that I informed him of when the end was near. I told him three days before he finally passed
that his health was waning and death was now a real possibility. While he could
not speak, his glossy eyes acknowledged the message. He accepted life with all
its conditions. He sought only to be happy and to be around the ones he loved.

Friday, June 06, 2008

An end of the week trip to campus resulted in Notre Dame's sixth public commitment in the recruiting class of 2009. Ohio linebacker Dan Fox trekked to South Bend to meet with the coaches one last time and commit in person.

There is a story behind the Fox family and Notre Dame you'll be sure to hear again. When Fox's grandfather came to the United States from Ireland in the 1930's, his first job was at ND after striking out in Chicago. I can just hear Jimmy Roberts getting the smaltzy halftime special ready now.

At 6'4", 215 pounds, Fox played safety for his high school but will man one of the outside linebacker spots for the Fighting Irish. A rangy player, Fox's skills at blitzing andtalent. His rankings on the recruiting sites are a bit of a mixed bag. On rivals.com, he is a 4-star recruit and the 13th overall outside linebacker. Scout.com has yet to evaluate him and ESPN has him checking in with a 76 ranking score, which is one of the lower scores they have given an ND recruit in the past few years.

His highlight video does show a talented athlete with plenty of potential, but also one that will need to hit the weight room in order to fill out for his eventual outside linebacker spot. One item to note is the fact that even at 6'4", 215 pounds, Fox competes on his high school track team in the 110M hurdles, where he was a regional qualifier. The assorted

28. David vs. Goliath...
Old school Pancrase match between Takafumi Ito and Scott Bessac. Ito was the 1995 Pancrase Neo-Blood tournament winner, a real hot prospect in his younger years. When they threw him against the beasts, though, his career began to flounder. He picked back up later and managed to achieve such feats...in the locker room, Carrick volunteered his time to lead the logistics of all team involvement to photograph Gulls players with adoptable canines for the creation of the 12-month calendar at iconic locations in San Diego. Through the sales of 275 Pucks & Paws calendars, the San Diego Gulls Foundation raised and donated nearly $8,000 for Shelter to Solider to help fund the cost of a dog to be rescued as well as placed with a veteran in need.

Carrick has also volunteered and participated in a plethora of charitable endeavors this season to raise funds and awareness for nonprofit organizations supported by the San Diego Gulls Foundation. Carrick brought a child from the Boys and Girls Club of San Diego to shop for holiday gifts as part of


the annual Shop with a Jock event. Hosted by the Junior Seau Foundation, Shop with a Jock allows local children the opportunity to select gifts for their families that they otherwise might not be able to afford. In addition, Carrick visited Rady Children’s Hospital to spend time with and comfort young patients.

A native of Markham, Ontario, Carrick is a consistent presence in the San Diego community and continues to actively seek out new opportunities to enhance the lives of others through local outreach in addition to supporting animals and veterans in need. These endeavors are a small portion of the time that Carrick sets aside outside of hockey to make an impact in the community and give back.

Carrick is now one of 31 finalists for the AHL’s 2018-19Yanick Dupre Memorial Award, honoring the overall IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year. The league award is named after the former Hershey Bears forward and AHL All-Star who died in 1997 following a 16-month battle with leukemia. The winner of the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award will be announced by the American Hockey League at a later date..


land of Heh, to the nome of those cannibals, saying, "Haste, haste, my child, king's son, eldest and first, Anubis...." And you lick [the bite] with your tongue, while it is bleeding, immediately; then you recite to some oil, you recite to it seven times, you put it on the bite daily; you soak a strip of linen, you put it on it.

There is no field of ancient Egyptian knowledge in which the mixture of magic, science, and religion is seen so clearly as in medicine. Most of Egyptian medical lore is, in spirit as well as in form, like the prescription quoted. The only part we would consider efficacious is the licking of the wound, which may imply sucking out the venom. But perhaps the incantation, whichtouch on one last value. It is the value of simple human interest. These poor scraps of mortality were once people; and if we have an ounce of imagination we cannot help wondering when we see them in the unaesthetic but actual flesh, what they were like. How did they live—and how did they die?

Most of the time the last question is impossible to answer. The vicera of almost all mummies were removed and many specimens were damaged by time or tomb robbers. Still, certain of the mummies have a story to tell. The two little mummies of the premature babies found in Tutankhamon's tomb suggest not only a father's disappointed hopes but the fall of a dynasty. (The suggestion that these fetuses represent an otherwise unattested religious


colonnades, and surmounting the whole a pyramid lifted up toward the sky. Or maybe it was a mound instead of a pyramid—there isn't enough left to be certain. The prevailing theory favors the latter, but by the time this book is published experts may have changed their minds again. The king's tomb was under the temple, and behind the pyramid another court and a pillared hall served his mortuary cult.

Mentuhotep buried several of his wives in or near the temple, so that they could accompany him into the West. The tomb of Queen Neferu, later a tourist attraction, was one of them, and six other ladies found their last resting places within the temple precincts. One of them was a rather pitiful case; within the big, adult-size coffin

Music critic Casey Rae's new book William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll explores the vast influence that Burroughs had on musicians both underground and mainstream, from David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Patti Smith to The Beatles, Kurt Cobain, and Radiohead. In a Longreads excerpt from the book, Rae tells the tale of Burroughs's 1965 meeting with Bob Dylan:

Burroughs and Dylan took their meeting at a small café in Manhattan's East Village, the precise location of which has been lost to time and memory. "He struck me as someone who was obviously competent," Burroughs later told Victor Bockris. "If his subject had been something that I knew absolutely nothing about, such as mathematics, I would have still received the same impression of competence. Dylan said


he had a knack for writing lyrics and expected to make a lot of money." Personally, Burroughs had little use for money beyond its utility in purchasing narcotics and avoiding hard labor. But he could easily spot élan, which Dylan had in spades. "He had a likable direct approach in conversation, at the same time cool, reserved," Burroughs later recalled to Bockris. "He was very young, quite handsome in a sharp-featured way. He had on a black turtleneck sweater." Although they only met once in person, Burroughs left a mark on the younger artist. According to critic R. B. Morris, "There's no doubt that he was greatly influenced by Burroughs' wild juxtaposing of images and scenes, as well as subject matter." After encountering Burroughs, Dylan's work became evenmore abstract, caustic, and surreal.

The indestructible Iggy Pop, himself a Burroughs acolyte, notes the Dylan connection in a BBC Radio profile of the author. "He's even in Dylan's 'Tombstone Blues'!" Pop exclaims, before firing up the track, which includes a verse believed to reference Burroughs: "I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill / I would set him in chains at the top of the hill / Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille / He could die happily ever after." To Dylan, Burroughs was impossibly hip — James Joyce with nasty habits, T. S. Elliot with a cane sword. Dylan's evolution from shy folkie to idiosyncratic icon was greatly accelerated by his immersion in the rhythm and meter of Burroughs' writing. As


scholar James Adams notes, "Without Burroughs and his experiments, Dylan might not have been pushed to compose lines that resemble cut-ups but still emerge from some more personal, purposeful, honest, and human place like those Dylan wrote in 1965…"

That same year, Burroughs turned down an offer to join Dylan on his Rolling Thunder Revue tour, which also featured (Allen) Ginsberg. There were plans for Burroughs to appear in the film of the tour, giving a how-to on cut-ups using Dylan lyrics and the writings of Edgar Allan Poe as source text. Burroughs claimed that he didn't want to be another one of Dylan's hangers-on, but the real reason he skipped out was because Dylan didn't offer him a per diem.the situation.

AMD also plainly states that its unique architecture is well-suited for some applications, but it isn't as impressive with others. The company plans to target the applications where it excels with the first generation of EPYC processors, and then improve the architecture as it evolves to make it more potent in a wider gamut of applications.

Thoughts

For the last five years Intel has largely owned the data center; currently, its processors power a whopping ~99.6% of the world's servers. Intel is currently restructuring and has bet a substantial portion of its future on data center-driven revenue, and while the company also faces threats from ARM-based competitors, such as Qualcomm's Centriq and Cavium's ThunderX2, AMD's processors have the advantage of the x86 instruction set architecture.

While the ARM-based competitors are


A bird/dinosaur monster created by Finster, Hatchasaurus possessed a magical speaking computer heart called Cardiatron (he looks like a heart with the tentacles) that was able to re-assemble/enhance the monster after it was destroyed by the Rangers. First, the Tyrannosaurus finisher was used, which only temporarily defeated him. Then, the Megazord used its Power Sword to the same results. Hatchasaurus demonstrated incredible strength when he became his most advanced form the third time he was reassembled. Even though the Hatchasaurus initially didn't speak, Cardiatron spoke in an aristocratic, haughty intellectual manner. It wasn't until the Red Ranger destroyed Cardiatron with the Power Sword and Dragon Dagger that he and the others were able to destroy Hatchasaurus once and for all with Ultrazord.

Hatchasaurus later reappeared in the second seasonwhen summoned by Terror Blossom. This time around it possessed the capability to speak with Cardiatron not speaking (strangely with Cardiatron's original voice and mannerisms). Like the first time, the Rangers had to destroy Cardiatron, before they could destroy the monster completely. To defeat it the first time, they merely emitted smoke from a nozzle in the Thunder Megazord's chest, but it quickly reassembled. The second time around, Hatchasaurus survives the Thunder Megazord Thunder Saber (which apparently destroyed Cardiatron inside of the Hatchasaurus), but is weakened enough to be taken out by the Tigerzord's thunderbolts.


Soleil Moon Frye is glowing, thrilled about having a fourth child and finally feeling great after a difficult first few months of pregnancy.

Like many pregnant women, the 39-year-old actress, best known for her role on the '80s series Punky Brewster, combated morning sickness (aka all-day sickness) during her first trimester and part of her second.

"I was really sick the first four months and couldn't really stomach anything except for, you know, carbs, and was really, really having a hard time with keeping anything down. But other than that, I mean, I'm very blessed and feel very grateful," Frye told E! News exclusively.

"I mean, the first, like, three months of this pregnancy, I think I lived on waffles," she added. "Yeah, every day. I was like, I can onlyVANCOUVER -- A B.C. union is calling for the immediate suspension of mortgage and rent payments until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

Stephanie Smith, president of the BC Government Employees' Union, said the demand is part of the union's mission to protect workers during the crisis.

"The BCGEU is urging our members and all working people to trust the science and follow public health recommendations," said Smith in a statement issued on Friday. "The federal and provincial governments could support our message by suspending mortgage and rent payments during the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure working people can afford to do the right thing."

The CEO of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Evan Siddall, said in tweet that his agency will support lenders in allowing deferral of mortgage payments for up


Colorectal cancer, the fourth most common malignancy worldwide, accounts for 12% of all cancer deaths in the United States. According to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data estimates, 142,820 men and women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2013 (NCI, 2013). Rectal cancer is a subset of lower gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies and occurs with relatively common frequency. By definition, rectal malignancies begin anatomically just above the anal sphincter complex and extend proximally 12 to 15 cm (Fry, Mahmoud, Maron, & Bleier, 2008).

The main histology of most rectal cancers is adenocarcinoma, which will be the subject of this article. In contrast to colon malignancies, the treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer typically involves some form of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. For some locally advanced tumors,I was a kid, only a million years ago, remember all those soldiers that you had little green ones that crawl... I loved those things. And there was nothing like those little molded plastic soldiers. Some of them stood, they had rifles in their hands, some up on the ground in the typical military crawling position firing, and then you had the vehicles and all that. Toy trains, my first toy train probably the circle was about a three foot circle, and I would sit there and this thing only went around and around and around. But I loved it, man.

Jon Bon Jovi has been chucked from the group, The Post has learned.

The rocker and the deep-pocketed Toronto-based sports team owners who are bidding for the Buffalo Bills have parted way, sources close to the situation said Friday.

The remaining entities in the group — Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which controls the NHL’s Maple Leafs and NBA’s Raptors, and Edward Rogers, chairman of Rogers Communications — believe they are in a stronger position to win the Bills auction without Bon Jovi, sources said.

The New Jersey rocker had led the group, a source close to the situation said. As the lead bidder, Bon Jovi would have been the principal owner and therefore, under NFL rules, would have to put up 30 percent of the purchaseplay it at any time they may be totally free.

BRP venturing off beaten path with 3-wheel bike

The Spyder, with its greater stability, has the potential to open up a new market segment.

Something strange is happening in the motorcycle world: One new model is sprouting a third wheel.

On Friday, Bombardier Recreational Products Inc., maker of snowmobiles and other power-sport vehicles, will announce its entry into the nation's $9.8-billion motorcycle market with its Can-Am Spyder roadster, which has two wheels in front and one in back.

With the first mass-produced three-wheeler of its kind, the Canadian company is hoping to open a new market segment "between the motorcycle and convertible sport car," BRP Chief Executive Jose Boisjoli said. Its target audience: 35- to 45-year-old men who want the thrill of motorcycling without the risk.

The industry has chalked up unprecedented growth,summer, on the water and off road. We needed a product to go on the road to complete our product portfolio," Boisjoli said of the company's entry into the motorcycle category. "The road market is a huge market, and ... we had to attack it."

The $15,000 Spyder will be available for demo rides at consumer events and power-sport dealerships during the spring and summer, but it won't be available to customers until October.

"BRP has a good track record. They've done some things in the personal watercraft and snowmobile parts of the industry that were definitely different, and they did very well with that," said Neil Pascale, editor in chief of Powersports Business magazine.

"But they're getting into a much bigger environment when they go into the on-road scene, so


The goal of this proposal is to attain support for a new Interdisciplinary Engineering Career Development Center in Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences created by a consortium of leading institutions in the field including Northwestern University, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, University of California Irvine, University of North Carolina, Case Western Reserve University, Marquette University, Stanford University, and University of Delaware. The mission of the proposed program is to develop scholars with engineering and other quantitative backgrounds to become successful rehabilitation scientists in basic, translational and/or clinical research. This would be the only program of its kind to focus on engineering-trained investigators. The PIs believe that these individuals, who already possess strong quantitative, problem-solving, programming, signal analysis and mechatronics skills, are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact onIllustration by Jim Cooke

Before the NFL season started, every active player received a letter from retired players Jake Plummer and Eugene Monroe. The pair was working with academic researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania, the letter explained, and they were looking for data.

The researchers wanted to know how players coped with a season’s worth of the aches, pains, and serious injuries that are the stock-in-trade of NFL life, whether it was team-provided pharmaceuticals, prescription opiates, booze, therapeutic massage—or marijuana, the substance both Plummer and Monroe swear by as a tonic for football-related trauma to brains and bodies.

Players who agreed to participate would fill out a weekly survey that tracked injuries, recovery time, and what was used to help recover. Participants would remain anonymous, but knowing


had already signed up, Plummer told me at the time, but dropped out after the union got involved, and no other players decided to participate.

The union’s purpose is to advocate for its players’ welfare—physical, financial, and otherwise—and the NFLPA prides itself on the uncommon effort it will expend to do so.

The NFL has the most draconian ban on marijuana in American pro sports, ruining several careers and now forcing at least one player to choose between his livelihood and treating a potentially fatal disease. The ban is actively hurting players without any appreciable gain, and the only thing worse is that the NFLPA has done nothing but play along.

On Nov. 9, exactly one day after recreational marijuana became legal in eight states where 65 million Americans live—including severalas violative of the employee's statutory right to revoke the assignment. The District Court for the Northern District of California held that the requirement was valid, reasoning that although it "may seem a bit arbitrary" to allow revocation only by means of the form provided by the Trainmen, it was "no burden" and was "easily complied with." 155 F. Supp. 315, 317. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit adopted the District Court's reasoning and affirmed. 256 F. 2d 429. We granted certiorari to consider the important question of the scope of the proviso of § 2 Eleventh (b). 358 U. S. 812.
The petitioner is employed by respondent, Southern Pacific Company, and through March 1957 was a member of respondent Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. He had executed


an individual assignment authorizing the checkoff in his case. In March 1957, more than a year after his assignment had been in effect, petitioner decided to join the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen. He notified the Trainmen of his resignation by letter dated March 30, 1957, advising them that he was revoking the authorization to check off his dues and that he had sent a revocation form to the company. The same day a representative of the Conductors sent petitioner's executed revocation form to the company and handed an executed duplicate revocation form to the Secretary-Treasurer of petitioner's Lodge of the Trainmen.
The company and the Trainmen, relying on the provisions of the Dues Deduction Agreement, declined to honor the revocation forms executed by the petitioner, though theyemployee wanted to stop the checkoff, whether incident to terminating his affiliation or not. The complete freedom of individual choice in this area, undampened by the necessity of such preliminary dealings with the labor organization to make it effective, may seem unfortunate to labor organizations, but it is a problem with which we think Congress intended them to live.
Third. There is some suggestion that, possibly apart from the provisions of the Act, because petitioner was a member of the Trainmen and represented by them in the negotiation of the bargaining agreement, he is bound here by the action of his agent, as it were, in establishing this provision. But the short answer is that the proviso makes it clear that the organization was not to function as its


The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News that they found a 1993 recording of actor Corey Feldman naming abusers. The recording comes from the office’s investigation of Michael Jackson. A boy accused Jackson of molestation, and police interviewed several people who knew the singer to gather more interview. During this process, they interviewed then 17-year-old Feldman, who apparently informed them of several Hollywood people who either abused him or other children.

According to the office’s email to Fox New:

Following the recent inquiries into the Sheriff’s Office interview of Mr. Feldman in 1993, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office conducted an additional review for any stored items remaining from the Michael Jackson investigation. In a container which included the original reports from the investigation, the Sheriff’s Office locatedtrunk of a police car and punching him in the face at a gas station in 2002.

The videotape was shot by a bystander. Although race was never mentioned in the trials, the image of a white officer roughing up a black youth touched off angry protests in Inglewood.

Dr. Vivek Murthy was just anointed as our Country's newest Surgeon General.Never heard of Vivek Murthy? Well, my friends, and you are my friends, let me acquaint you with one of the most, if not the very most, political appointments in U.S. history. Allow me please to outline for you what makes good ol' Vivek, an American Indian (he's American because he was born in America, and Indian, as in the "red dot" kind), unique:First, Dr. Murthy was not confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He was, rather, anointed. That's because Dr. Murthy's nomination was not required to surpass the Senate's long-standing 60 vote threshold for so-called "cloture." Since the founding of our Country, achieving that vote total has been necessary to shut off debate (and36 years of age, only, is indeed a physician. Yet, to begin with, he's one of the few American physicians who's never practiced medicine. Ever. No, he's an academician. A Harvard professor. He teaches. Remember the old saying, "Those who can, do, and those who can't, teach?"In Dr. Murthy's case, one has to wonder just how much he really knows about the practice of medicine because he's never chosen to practice it. But what he has chosen to do is to openly display his political beliefs; just two years out of his residency he founded "Doctors for Obama." He was such a huge fan of our now semi-retired, Vacationer-in-Chief that he managed to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from fellow left-wing physicians to help re-elect Barry Obama


in 2012. Barry was happy he did, and obviously decided not to forget the favor. And so, now he now he returns it. Third, Dr. Murthy is not a big fan of guns. In fact, he believes that guns are, as he says, a "public health issue." He believes that the 2nd Amendment needs to be erased from the Bill of Rights and that guns need to be taken from Americans, by force if necessary.

on home.But along comes Obama. He didn't much care for the Iraq War. He campaigned against it. It was the "bad war," he said. Afghanistan, on the other hand, was the "good war." That's the one he liked. Not the other one. So it was no big surprise that he screwed the pooch when time came to negotiate a "Status of Forces Agreement," or SOFA, with Iraq's Prime Minister Malicki, so that we could maintain a stabilizing, "trip-wire" force there after our departure. Exactly, you'll recall, like we did in South Korea, West Germany, Italy and Japan. They're still there, in fact. More than 120,000 in all. Standard stuff. Unless you're a Big-City Liberal skinny ideologue lawyer like Obama. Malicki wanted 23,000 soldiers. Obama offered 3,000.

Yeah, that'll work.So they're taking town after town, well on their way to occupying Iraq as an Islamic caliphate. As of this writing they're within a few miles of downtown Baghdad. What can the Golfer-in-Chief do about it? Well, he could do as his generals advise and send 40,000 troops back to Iraq. He could do that, but he won't. That's because he doesn't want to appear to have blown it real bad by precipitously pulling them out in the first place.

Shakib Al Hasan wants Bangladesh to bring their 'A' game versus Australia after win over Windies

Star Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan, who played a brilliant knock to guide his team to a record win against West Indies, has called on his teammates not to get complacent and bring out their A-game in their next World Cup fixture against Australia.

On Monday, Hasan proved why he is the number one all-rounder and scored a blistering ton (124*) to help Bangladesh chase down the target of 322 with ease. The left-handed batsman shared a


crucial third wicket partnership of 189* with Liton Das (94*) and made sure the Bangla Tigers remain in contention for the semi-finals.

"It feels great. To stay at the wicket till the end was the most satisfying thing. I have been working on batting for the last one and a half months, and it has paid off," Shakib said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

He admitted that West Indies batsmen had posted a reasonable total. "At the end of the first innings, we believed that if we bat well we can win. It was a reasonable total posted by the West Indies."

He also went on to add that him batting at the number three spot earned him more opportunities and more time in the middle.

During the Windies match, Shakib overtookAustralia's captain Aaron Finch to become the leading run-getter of the tournament. He has scored 384 runs in five matches.

"It was a reasonable total posted by the West Indies. Not sure why I backed myself for the number three spot, but I thought if I batted at three, I will get more opportunities and more time in the middle."

With five points from five games, and despite placed fifth in the score table Bangladesh would be brimming with confidence when they take Australia on Thursday at Trent Bridge. Australia are currently at the top of the points table with eight points from five game.

"We have to bring our A-game against Australia at the top of their form," he insisted.

Two injured in motorcycle accident on I-293

MANCHESTER - A motorcycle driver and his passenger were seriously injured Sunday when the motorcycle drifted off Interstate 293, New Hampshire State Police said.

Troopers said Lonnie Puglia, 51, was northbound on I-293 near the Granite Street interchange when the accident happened around 10:40 a.m. when the motorcycle drifted to the left and rolled.

Puglia and passenger Sandra Randall, 49, were both thrown from the motorcycle, according to state police. Both were taken to Catholic Medical Center, then Puglia was flown to Tufts Medical Center in Massachusetts,


went to lengths at a press conference with reporters to emphasize that Ross had been a strong leader that had the support of the board of governors, despite Friday’s announcement that the board wanted to part ways.

“This board believes Tom Ross has been a wonderful president,” Fennebresque told reporters Friday after the announcement about Ross. “Fantastic work ethic, perfect integrity.”

Ross’ departure was announced Friday after months of speculation about his future after his relationship with the UNC Board of Governors became more fraught.

Ross came to the UNC system after serving as the president of the private Davidson College. He previously had worked as a judge, the head of the state’s administrative office for the courts, and the executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, a Winston-Salem basedto a home in which a family slept. Four soldiers were injured. The barrage prompted Israeli airstrikes on dozens of PIJ and Hamas terror targets all over the Strip.

The U.S. authored its own draft resolution condemning Hamas for its role in the violence in Gaza over the last two months. The U.S. was the only country to vote in favor of the text, with eleven countries abstaining and Bolivia, Kuwait, and Russia opposing it.

Israeli envoy to the UN Danny Danon said, “Peace and stability will come to our region only when the international community is brave enough to call out the terrorists by name.”

He thanked the U.S. for its support, saying, “the rules of the game are changing in the Security Council and that the double standard against

"While much of the nation's focus is wrapped up in the minutiae of the burgeoning political crisis around SNC Lavalin and alleged political interference in criminal justice, few people seem to be discussing revelations from the case about the state of press freedom in Canada...Telford reportedly told Wilson-Raybould that if she was nervous about being attacked over a decision not to prosecute SNC-Lavalin the government would 'line up all kinds of people to write op-eds...'

What Telford allegedly suggested to JWR reveals a grim reality. Political interference in Canada's media is commonplace."

Actually the nitty-gritty of Sajjan's Afghanistan adventures are anything but and we're not likelyto ever hear the complete story of his 'counterinsurgency' specialities, so appreciated by our American overlords with whom he apparently did much of his 'wet-work' on numerous occasions.

I suspect she wouldn't say no to being placed under oath, unlike the way the others refused to be.

She's not being accused of anything, unless you count the accusations from Liberal ministers that she's difficult to work work with. Which was very likely an attempt to try and explain why she was suddenly fired from the AG position.

According to Trudeaus generals everything would have been fine if she just shut up and did what she was told. They probably think the same for the rest of us Canadians too.

he wanted his friend to hear how the gun sounded. He also admitted to threatening a couple of boys who passed by. The boys claimed a shot was fired after they started to run away, but defendant denied this. Klause said he had been given the gun by an acquaintance approximately three months before. He thought the gun might be stolen, so he altered its serial number to prevent its being traced back to the owner.
The defendant's conduct created such a disturbance the police were notified and defendant was arrested later that night.
When arraigned the court found the defendant to be indigent and appointed counsel for him. After accepting the defendant's plea of guilty to the charge of alteration of a serial number on a firearm and thedefendant was twenty-two, had a ninth grade education, and was married. He also mentioned a letter he had received from Klause indicating he wanted to be a responsible citizen and had stopped drinking whiskey.
After summarizing the information favorable to the defendant, the trial judge stated that there were several aggravating factors which made defendant's offense very serious. He noted defendant had been previously convicted of armed robbery and that other past difficulties with the law illustrated he had no respect for the law. The judge stated that a lesser sentence would deprecate from the seriousness of defendant's crime and that, given the failure of a prior probationary sentence, an *1078 extensive period of incarceration would have more of a rehabilitative effect.
During sentencing, the judge remarked that since this


A teenage girl allegedly attacked her grandfather with a knife after being told she could have no more tomatoes for supper.

The police report said that on September 12, 19-year-old Katie Jade Gates of Callahan, Florida, became angry after she was refused more tomatoes.

Gates grandfather said the girl became upset and threw a waterbottle at him and a pack of cigarettes at her 73-year-old grandmother, hitting her in the eye.

Deputies said the grandfather tried to calm Gates and attempted to discipline her, but she allegedly picked up a knife and came after him.

The grandfather ran to the door and then outside as the teenager allegedly chased him with the weapon.

As he ran, the man said teenager threatened him by stating, “Motherf—ker, I’ll stab you in your f—king face.”

The ball, found on Alaska's Middleton Island, bears writing that identifies its place of origin, said Doug Helton, operations coordinator for NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration, which is tracking debris from the tsunami.

According to a translation provided by Tokyo-based journalists, the ball is from the Osabe School in the Iwate Prefecture, an area that was hit by the devastating tidal wave unleashed March 11 by the magnitude 9 earthquake off Japan's northeastern coast, Helton said Sunday.Click here to read more.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Officials near Conundrum Hot Springs have a literal conundrum on their hands -- what to do with several frozen cows stuck in a cabin?

The six cows are wedged inside a small cabin. The Colorado Cattlemen's Association said the cows likely wandered in seeking shelter during a storm and weren't able to figure out how to get back out and starved to death.

Two U.S. Air Force Academy cadets made the discovery while hiking Conundrum Pass between Aspen and


Crested Butte in late March. The cadets tell 7NEWS they initially thought they stumbled upon a sleeping bear.

"We decided we were going to snowshoe to Conundrum Hot Springs near Aspen," said cadet Marshall Kay, 21, a junior at the Air Force Academy.

"When I walked up to the doorway there was a head," said junior Air Force cadet Cameron Harris, 20. "It scared me. I thought it was a bear initially."

"Cameron got there first and he says, 'Ah, I think we're going to have to sleep on the snow tonight, man. The cabin's full of frozen cows,'" said Kay.

"There's no way we're staying here tonight. The floor is covered," said Harris to Kay during their hike.

The CUMV Bird Collection contain a record of the development of ornithology at Cornell from the earliest days of Arthur A. Allen and Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Dr. Arthur A. Allen, on the faculty at Cornell from 1915–1953, made the name Cornell nearly synonymous with ornithology in the United States. Allen contributed many birds to the collection, and possibly even more importantly, attracted a very large number of students interested in birds.

“These individuals are members of a violent street gang actively wreaking havoc in the community. Thisunified effort is about keeping New York citizens safe,” New York ERO Field Office Director Thomas R. Decker said in the statement. “ERO and HSI, along with our law enforcement partners, face no limitations in the apprehension and dismantling of transnational criminal organizations. We will not rest until our communities are safer and individuals like these are brought to justice.”

More than 30 of the arrests came in Suffolk County, which routinely releases criminal aliens from its jail, even if ICE has placed an immigration hold on the suspect.

In April, Breitbart News reported on the massacre of four Hispanic young men from Long Island, New York. The bodies of the men were so mutilated, they could only be identified by tattoos. Police eventually tied the murders to MS-13.

Breitbart Texas


has been covering this violent transnational gang for several years. In July 2013, we reported on four MS-13 gang members that were convicted on counts of murder, armed robberies, and firearms offenses. That trial lasted for four weeks. At that time, FBI officials indicated members of the MS-13 gang were active in at least 42 states and had between 6,000 and 10,000 members. Those numbers have increased substantially with the massive influx of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) from Central American countries, particularly El Salvador.

On June 10, Breitbart Texas reported the numbers of UACs, particularly from El Salvador, being apprehended at our southern border with Mexico is again on the rise following a six-month downtrend. Since October 1, 2916, 8005 UACs from El Salvador have been apprehended after crossingthe border illegally – 1,493 in May alone. This is nearly a fifty percent increase from the previous month. Almost half of those apprehended this month had crossed in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in south Texas.

ICE officials stated that of the 39 MS-13 gang members arrested in Operation Matador, 12 had entered the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. Three other members entered the U.S. under Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. Some of those arrested had previously been deported and now face felony charges for illegal re-entry after removal, officials stated.

The rise of MS-13 violence has also dramatically impacted crime in the nation’s fourth-largest city, Houston, where Governor Greg Abbott announced in April, the creation of a Texas Anti-Gang Task Force to target these criminal aliens.

ICE officials worked with state and county law enforcement officers in conducting the operation. Operation Matador was carried out under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security’s Transnational Organized Crime Initiative.

The relevant facts of the case are as follows:
On February 14, 1976, the appellant, a bus driver, was operating bus # 123 on Route 11 running from Ala Moana Center to Aiea and back to Ala Moana. At approximately 7:00 p.m. he picked up a fourteen-year-old girl, Lisa Cruz, at a bus stop in front of the Small Engine Clinic on Aiea Heights Drive. Except for the driver, the bus was empty at the time. After Lisa boarded, the appellant made no further stops for passengers and drove at an accelerated speed. When he reached the Moanalua area, the appellant turned off the freeway and parked the bus. He briefly stepped outside, re-entered and then approached his sole passenger, Lisa. Offering her money and marijuana, the


appellant asked for permission to touch her body. When Lisa refused, the appellant resorted to physical force and, against her will, committed the offenses of rape and sodomy. After the assault, the appellant resumed driving the bus toward Honolulu. He dropped Lisa off near her home in Liliha warning her that more violence would follow if she failed to keep silent about the incident.
Appellant was represented by private counsel at a jury-waived trial. His defense was that he was not the person who committed the acts of rape and sodomy upon the minor child Lisa Cruz. After two days of testimony offered by fifteen different witnesses, the trial judge held that on the basis of "all the credible evidence" the prosecution had proven all the material elements ofhe repeated Lisa's version of the alleged rape.[5] Next, Detective Pocock, having interviewed Lisa's mother, Mrs. Ida Cruz, testified as to what Lisa told her about the rape incident.[6] Appellant contends that the detective's testimony constituted inadmissible double hearsay and yet was not objected to by defense counsel. Mrs. Cruz was the third witness permitted to recount unchallenged Lisa's description of the sexual assault.[7] Like Officer Shipes, she testified as to what her daughter told her shortly after the episode occurred. Lastly, Detective Abreu was allowed to recount Lisa's statements to her four days after the incident.[8]
The appellant argues that the cumulative effect of this retelling of the complainant's version of the events reinforced Lisa's credibility. Since the weighing of Lisa's credibility against his was the critical issue
