LOS ANGELES - Reggie the alligator reappeared Monday after vanishing for 1 1/2 years in an urban lake where the reptile turned up in 2005 and repeatedly skunked would-be 'gator wranglers.

"After 18 months of hibernation or just eluding us, Reggie has decided to show himself," City Councilwoman Janice Hahn told a press conference next to Harbor Regional Park's Lake Machado.

Hahn said she had asked the Parks and Recreation Department to put a fence back up around the lake.

"Reggie is older, Reggie is bigger, and he's probably hungry, so I want to make sure that we keep the public safe," she said. "He's a wild alligator and he's unpredictable and we're not really sure what his behavior will be."

Reggie was an illegal pet allegedly tossed into the 50-acre lakeby a former Los Angeles policeman when it got too big. It was spotted in August 2005 and caused a stir until disappearing the following October.

At the time Reggie, of uncertain sex, was estimated to be between 5 feet and 7 feet in length.

A series of alligator experts tried and failed to capture Reggie.

Hahn recalled an offer of help from TV's "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin, who was subsequently killed by a stingray last year.

"Steve Irwin, before he tragically passed away, was here at Lake Machado and pledged to come back here with his crew when we spotted Reggie to see if he could help us capture Reggie," she said. "So we're going to call them and see if they might not like to come out in memory of


Steve Irwin and finish the job that Steve promised that he would do for Los Angeles."

If captured, the alligator could be housed at the Los Angeles Zoo, she said.

Reggie's fate had been a puzzle, with some believing the alligator had died.

"I think there were many of us who never really believed he was dead but really weren't sure where he was. We don't know where he's been, we don't know what he's been doing — but he's back," the councilwoman said.

Lake Machado is in the Wilmington area of South Los Angeles near the city's port.eaters nationwide. Shot in over 60 locations around China, the documentary also opened a much-needed window into the diversity of Chinese regional cuisine. Each episode leaps geographically, from the plains of Inner Mongolia to the island of Hainan, and highlights the history and preparation of famous dishes like mapo tofu and Shaoxing wine, as well as more obscure (but still very Chinese) foods.

It has been more than a month now, and Amber Bartlett has had enough of hotels and apartments and trailer homes. Of crowded rooms whose thin walls amplify the bickering of her four children. Of piles of toys and clothes overflowing from drawers and suitcases. Of not knowing, day to day, where her life is headed.

She wants to be back in her five-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 16 Starlite Road North in Mayflower, Ark.

Ryan Senia, the Bartletts' next-door neighbor, is plenty ready to go home, too. For the past month the 29-year-old electrical engineer has been sleeping on a friend's couch instead of in his bed at 20 Starlite Road North. His power tools and equipment are gathering dust in his garage. His grill sits in his backyard, unused.

TheBartletts and Senia are among 21 families who were evacuated from their homes on March 29, after an ExxonMobil pipeline spilled at least 210,000 gallons of heavy Canadian crude oil into their neighborhood.

For many of them, buying a home in the six-year-old North Woods subdivision was not only the biggest financial investment of their lives, but an emotional investment as well. North Woods would be a good place to live, they believed, with respected schools, sprawling yards and the convenience of being just a short drive from Little Rock, the state capital. It was a beautiful place, too—about 60 spacious brick houses surrounded by a thick forest of trees and creeks where children could play.

"A lot of people were ecstatic" about moving into North Woods, Senia said. "Now,


people feel like that dream is shattered due to the uncertainty."

The North Woods families have been thrust into the national debate about the type of crude oil that spilled into their neighborhood—a heavy Canadian oil called diluted bitumen or dilbit—and about the safety of the pipelines that carry the oil. A 2010 pipeline spill that dumped dilbit into Michigan's Kalamazoo River is still being cleaned up today, almost three years later. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is deciding whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry millions of gallons of dilbit from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast.

Until March 29, Good Friday, the North Woods residents hadn't been touched by this debate. Neither the Bartletts nor Senia had heard of dilbit or paid much attention tothe controversy over the Keystone project. They didn't even know that an Exxon pipeline lay buried nearby until oil began flowing down their street.

She Was Reading a Book When the Phone Rang

Mayflower police got the first 911 call at 2:44 p.m. It came from Jennifer Dement of 50 Starlite Road North. "Caller adv that a pipe busted and oil is spilling throughout the neighborhood!!" the 911 entry says.

A 22-foot-long section of ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline had split open in front of two houses on Starlite Road North and in the forest behind the street. The 858-mile line carries Canadian dilbit from Illinois to Texas, and some of that oil was now blanketing backyards and spilling into the street, up driveways and around a cul-de-sac. Oil was flowing in the


other direction, too—away from the neighborhood and into the tiny streams that feed into a swampy cove of Lake Conway, a popular recreation site about a mile away.

Dilbit is composed of a heavy oil known as bitumen that has been diluted with liquid chemicals—which can include benzene—so it can move through pipelines. Once dilbit is released from a pipeline, the chemicals gradually evaporate into the environment.

Amber Bartlett had just settled down to read "Crossroads," a Christian novel about a businessman and his near-death experience. She had driven the 20 miles to Little Rock that morning to speak about her IT job at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with students in the school's medical records degree program. Her husband, Ches, a real estate appraiser for the statehighway department, was still at work, and she was looking forward to a few minutes of peace before the kids got home from school.

The phone rang just after 3 p.m. It was Raegen, her 16-year-old daughter, calling from her car. Police had closed off the subdivision and wouldn't let her through the gated entrance.

"There's an oil spill," Raegen said. "In our neighborhood."

Bartlett ran to the front door. She saw oil rolling down the street in waves, lapping at the front yard and pouring into a storm drain near her driveway. An acrid stench filled the air.

By the time the police let Raegen through the barricade a few minutes later, the oil had formed a virtual moat between the Bartletts' home and the rest of the street. Bartlett threw


her daughter a pair of boots, and Raegen waded through the oil to the house.

They were grabbing clothes and toiletries when the phone rang again. This time it was the principal at the elementary school that 11-year-old Kalob and 5-year-old Kaden attend. Their school bus couldn't get into the subdivision, so the boys were back at school, waiting to be picked up.

"If this [spill] would've happened 30 minutes later, our kids would've been outside playing," Bartlett said.

Ryan Senia was also stopped at the police barricade. He had been at work in Little Rock when a friend texted him about the spill. He immediately got in his Volkswagen Passat and headed home.

A "sulfur smell" hung in the air, Senia said. Breathing it gave him the sensation you get "ifyou tried to spray paint in an enclosed room. You get a headache. That's how I kind of felt."

Senia couldn't persuade the police to let him through the blockade. So he went to a friend's house near the town of Sherwood, about 40 miles away.

The next afternoon, Exxon held a meeting in the Mayflower High School cafeteria, which residents learned about through word of mouth. Company representatives gathered phone numbers and email addresses from the displaced families and promised to pay their hotel bills and other living expenses.

Senia didn't want to stay in a hotel. So he went back to his friend's place in Sherwood.

Life Became More Hectic by the Day

At first, the Bartlett children were excited about staying in a hotel and eating at their favorite restaurants


every night. They splashed in the indoor pool and loaded up their plates at the breakfast buffet. It was almost like being on vacation, with ExxonMobil footing the bill.

"They saw it as an adventure," Bartlett said.

But with six people crowded into two hotel rooms, life became "more hectic by the day." The baby of the family, three-year-old Aluren, needed to go to bed earlier than the older children. And being away from the bus route meant that Kalob and Kaden had to be driven back and forth to school.

The adventure quickly deteriorated into "'I want my own room,'" Bartlett said. "They're arguing and bickering worse than they normally do."

To get the kids out of the cramped quarters, the family began spending weekends at Ches's mother's house, 60 milesaway. Or at Amber's mother's home, 90 miles away.

On April 14, Exxon notified the Bartletts by email that it would pay each evacuated family $10,000 (in addition to their hotel bills and other expenses) for the inconvenience they had suffered, a check they've since received. The email also said the company would buy homes damaged by the oil at their pre-spill value.

The Bartletts immediately decided to accept the offer.

Amber Bartlett said she and Ches just wouldn't feel comfortable letting their kids play in the yard or in the woods where toxins and chemicals had spilled.

Exxon and local health authorities have assured the people of Mayflower that air quality tests show the air is safe to breathe. Still, Bartlett worries about the long-term effects of the oil.

In the first


weeks after the spill Kalob and Kaden had diarrhea and vomiting. She wasn't sure if it was something they picked up at school or a reaction to the oil.

Raegen and Aluren have been okay. But when Amber returned to the house the week after the spill she quickly became nauseated and vomited. In mid-April, she visited the house again, so consultants from the Arkansas Attorney General's office could get inside to test the air. By the time she left, an hour later, she had a bad headache and itchy, burning eyes.

Last week when she and Ches stopped by again, she was fine. The smell was all but gone.

The family member whose health has been most affected by the spill is Charlie, their four-year-old dog, who is staying inMayflower with Amber's sister.

A few weeks after the spill, Charlie's back legs were temporarily paralyzed after he got loose and ran through an oily patch. Exxon paid for the three days Charlie spent with a veterinarian neurologist.

"I'm just fortunate that it wasn't one my kids," Bartlett said.

From Hotel to Apartment to Trailer

In late April, representatives from Crawford & Company, an Atlanta-based claims management firm Exxon hired to help compensate families, told the Bartletts it would be "quite a bit longer" before they could move back home and offered to help them find an apartment.

On April 26, the Bartletts moved into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the town of Maumelle, about 10 miles away. It was unfurnished, so Exxon paid for furniture, cookware and other necessities.

is routine or familiar to them. I just want it to be over."

For Ryan Senia, the hardest part of this experience has been his feeling of displacement.

Every other day or so he goes back to pick up the mail or gather more belongings or, sometimes, just to sit on his own couch in the comfort of his own home. He had been planning to sell the house before the spill, so he could move to a younger, hipper neighborhood in Little Rock. But he didn't want the move to happen like this, with the stigma of spilled oil tarring the neighborhood's reputation—a place he called a "high-quality neighborhood for middle class people."

Now, his once-quiet neighborhood is groaning with the sounds of the heavy trucks that are sucking upoil and tearing up and replacing streets and concrete curbs. Oil-soaked trees and grass have been torn from their roots.

"Even though I had it up for sale, it's still where I was hanging my hat," Senia said. "I think about home a lot."

Living in Limbo

Today, almost five weeks after the spill, the 21 families evacuated from the North Woods subdivision in Mayflower, Ark. are still living in limbo.

On April 29 ExxonMobil announced that it would begin a "reentry plan" for them to return home in the next few weeks, a process that includes air sampling by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Exxon's offer to buy the 11 homes closest to the spill, including the Bartletts' and Senia's, still stands. The company has a slightly different plan for the 10


Christian faith and the members of her First Baptist Church have helped keep her grounded during this difficult period. She said she's come to put the pipeline spill into perspective, and is grateful that her family, while displaced, is still together and healthy.

"Yes, we're out of our home," she said. "But we're all okay. And we're all going to be okay."

Senia's experience has led him down a slightly different path. He's thinking more about pipelines these days, and about the research he'll do before he buys his next house. And he wants to know what can be done to keep another spill from happening in some other neighborhood. "What would need to be different in the future?" he asks.

On Wednesday a friend called Senia to tell him thatMiyakonojo

city, Miyazaki ken (prefecture), Kyushu, Japan, on the upper Oyodo River. The city developed around the castle built by the Shimazu family in the early 11th century. During the Tokugawa period (1603-1867), sericulture and silk manufacture were prominent activities. The weaving and textile industries developed after the Meiji Restoration (1868), and synthetic textiles were introduced after World War II.


Nuclear deal makes it official—the United States has ceded control of the Middle East to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Back in 1994, President Bill Clinton spoke about a historic deal the United States had just made with North Korea:

“This is a good deal for the United States. North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons…. The United States and international inspectors will carefully monitor North Korea to make sure it keeps its commitments.”

Eight years later, North Korea stunned the world by saying it had been secretly developing a nuclear weapons program since the late 1990s. Today, North Korea is armed to thein the agreement that his foreign minister Zarif signed with the six world powers in Vienna on Tuesday. President Rouhani said his nation started talks with the world powers in a bid to remove all sanctions while maintaining its nuclear program and nuclear progress as two main goals.”

The Iranian agency continued enumerating the reasons why it was clear that Tehran had gained everything and lost nothing in the deal:

“All sanctions, including the financial, banking, energy, insurance, transportation, precious metals and even arms and proliferation sanctions will be, not suspended, but terminated according to the Tuesday agreement as soon as the deal comes into force, he said, adding that Iran will only be placed under certain limited arms deal restrictions for five years.

“Meantime, Iran will inject gas into its


would still be far from winning the war on terror. As long as the chief sponsor of Islamist terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran, is still in existence, the war on terror has not been won.”

When we consider the sobering implications of yesterday’s deal, it is vital to view it in the context of Bible prophecy. Daniel 11:40 contains a key end-time prophecy about a time in the very near future. It states: “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.”

The Trumpet identified Iran asthe prophesied “king of the south” back in 1994—more than 20 years ago. Iran is king.

Now think about what just happened yesterday!

Since the end of World War ii, it is the United States that has maintained security and order in the Middle East. For nearly 70 years, the U.S. has been the strongest force for stability in the Middle East.

But yesterday, the United States effectively ceded control of the region to the number one state sponsor of terrorism! Yesterday, the United States coronated Iran as king! That’s how the Bible labels this nation—the “king” of the south.

It is extremely significant that “Israel” (a name that refers to the United States in end-time prophecies) is not even mentioned in this Daniel 11:40 war! Sobering clues as to why that

Tony Stark, the brilliant engineer behind the classic red and gold mask of Iron Man, is among the most troubled, the most human, of Marvel heroes and it is perhaps for this reason that he has endured as one of the most popular of the Marvel Legends heroes. Following his capture by warlords in Asia, Stark began work engineering weapons of mass destruction for the foreign government in order to gain their favour and get the life-saving surgery required to remove a piece of shrapnel from his heart. Still in custody, he worked with fellow inmate Ho Yinsen to create an exoskeleton that would render him invulnerable to physical attack:I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a xe2x80x9csoft touchxe2x80x9d lifter for automotive Body in White geometry stations like framing stations.
II. Description of Related Art
In automotive Body in White geometry stations, automotive bodies in which the automotive body components have not been initially fixedly secured together, typically by welding, are supported on a skid. The skid, in turn, is moved by a conveyor system such as a roller table or belt conveyor along the conveyor line.
In order to form the final geometry and secure the automotive body components together, the skid together with the automotive body components supported by the skid is moved to a geometry station. Automotive tooling is provided at the geometry station, and a part of the tooling is initially positioned beneath


position largely beneath the skid and towards the automotive body components to deeply engage tooling into underbody cavities. In order to prevent damage to the automotive body components which would otherwise be caused by a rapid impact of the tooling against the body components, the tooling must be decelerated prior to contacting the body components so that only a xe2x80x9csoftxe2x80x9d impact occurs between the tooling and the body components.
Following the soft impact of the tooling against the body components, the tooling is again reaccelerated thus elevating the body components up to the contact of the upper tooling, creating at the end of the stroke a slight clearance between the body and skid.
Such acceleration, deceleration, reacceleration and final deceleration of the tooling, even if performed by a CAME systemlocates the body components relative to each other. The body components are then secured together in any conventional fashion, such as by welding.
Unlike the previously known lifters for geometry stations like framing systems, however, the lifter system of the present invention includes a pair of lift arms with one lift arm being vertically slidably mounted to the base frame at each end of the lift frame. These lift arms are thus movable between a lower position and an upper position. Furthermore, the lift arms register with the skid so that, as the lift arms are moved from their lower and to their upper position, the lift arms engage and elevate the skid together with the body components supported on the skid.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, an


elongated belt drivingly connects each lift arm with the lift frame. These elongated belts ensure that the lift arms move in synchronism with the lift frame. Just as importantly, however, is that the elongated belts move the lift arms from their lower and to their upper position at a speed one-half the speed of movement of the lift frame from its first and to its second position. Furthermore, as the lift frame approaches its second position and the lift arms simultaneously approach their upper position, the underbody tooling finally engages the automotive underbody and slightly elevates the automotive body components up from the skid at the very end of the upward stroke or upward movement of the lift arm and the lift frame.
Since the lift arms simultaneously movethe skid in an upward direction prior to impact of the underbody tooling upon the automotive body components at the end of the stroke, the speed of impact of the tooling against the automotive body components is effectively reduced by the upward speed of the lift arms and thus of the skid. Consequently, unlike the previously known framing systems, the present system eliminates the need to decelerate the tooling in the middle of its stroke prior to impact against the automotive body components.


A new report from the FBI comes with a troubling finding: In the first six months of 2015, the total number of violent crimes rose across the country by 1.7 percent and murders by 6.2 percent compared to the first six months of 2014.

The report follows a year of similar reports warning of a rise in murders. A Brennan Center for Justice report in December 2015 found that among 25 of the 30 most populous US cities, the murder rate was projected to increase by an average of 14.6 percent in all of 2015 compared to 2014. Several media outlets reported similar figures, including the New York Times, CNN, USA Today, and NPR.

The figures are startling because they could indicate a reversal in the US's decades-long crime drop.

Butthink of as routine or proactive police work. At the same time, the criticisms have emboldened criminals, who now know that police are acting cautiously to avoid triggering another Black Lives Matter protest in their cities.

Proponents of the Ferguson effect theory, such as conservative Heather Mac Donald, point to arrest and shooting numbers from various cities. Take, for instance, Baltimore: After Freddie Gray died while in police custody and protests and riots ensued, the number of arrests in the city dropped, while the number of shootings and homicides increased. Similar numbers exist for other cities, including St. Louis, near Ferguson.

So perhaps arrests dropped, according to this view, because police were scared to do their jobs as a result of criticisms, and criminals took advantage of the situation, leading


to more shootings and murders.

But some criminologists say these claims are highly questionable — both empirically and logically.

For one, a 2015 report by the Sentencing Project found that St. Louis's murder spike began before Michael Brown died in August 2014, which is what gave rise to nationwide protests in the first place. And statistics from Baltimore show that arrests were down and homicides and shootings were up before Freddie Gray died.

"The people who point to the Ferguson effect as the reason for the increase haven't been consulting calendars very carefully," Franklin Zimring, a criminologist at the University of California Berkeley, said in 2015.

There are other factors that may explain the drop in arrests. Baltimore, for example, had been dealing with reduced staffing levels and scheduling problems with itsbefore.

"What's going on in the United States in 2015 is much more typical historically than the two periods where all the arrows pointed in the same direction," Zimring, the UC Berkeley criminologist, said in 2015, referring to the periods in which crime spiked in the 1960s to early 1990s and crime dropped after. "This is a very big country with lots of different regions and lots of urban structures and lots of suburban structures."

It could be that some cities are experiencing a set of unrelated local issues, leading to what looks like a nationwide violent crime trend but is in fact a series of local events that are coincidentally happening at once. Maybe Baltimore really was set on a dangerous path after the protests and riots earlier in


Julius was born the 22nd of April, 1832. he was raised in the town Adams, New York. He later moved with his parents and grandfather to Monroe, Michigan. Julius was sent to Wesleyan Seminary at the age of fourteen.

Before Julius was to graduate, one of his teachers, Dr. J. Adams Allen, was dismissed. Julius and one of his friends held a mass protest against the dismissal, which lead to Julius being expelled, which he was later readmitted after signing a conditional document.

This led to the creation of Arbor Day,Thousands of goose-stepping soldiers, battalions of tanks, rocket launchers and fighter jets were on display in and above Pyongyang's Kim II Sung Square on Sunday to mark the 70th anniversary of North Korea's founding, but noticeably missing from the massive show of military might was the country's arsenal of nukes.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watched the procession, a mix of military and civilian pageantry, from a balcony overlooking the square named after his grandfather, who was the founding leader of the country.

"Their nuclear program has achieved what they wanted it to achieve: They wanted to pose a significant threat with these nuclear weapons," Grace Liu,


a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California, told ABC News, explaining the likelihood of why Sunday's parade didn't include nukes.

"They wanted leverage to get South Korea and the U.S. to the table," Liu said.

The parade came just four months after Kim and President Donald Trump met in Singapore and signed a joint statement committing to denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.

Since the summit, the first between the leaders of the United States and North Korea, negotiations to denuclearize the peninsula have devolved into an impasse. In August, Trump canceled Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's trip to North Korea, citing the lack of sufficient progress.

Sunday's parade might have signaled that Kim wants to jumpstart the negotiation by not showcasing his country's intercontinental ballistic missiles,believed capable of reaching the United States, experts said.

It also indicates, according to experts, that Kim may be attempting to taper down tensions as he prepares for a three-day summit later this month in Pyongyang with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un waves as he attends a parade marking the 70th anniversary of North Korea's founding day in Pyongyang, North Korea, Sept. 9, 2018.

Jeffrey Lewis, an expert in nuclear nonproliferation and a scholar at Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said North Korea's decision not to show off its nuclear weapons is following the "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" strategy of other nuclear-armed countries.

"North Korea is not looking to give up its nuclear weapons. What they are looking to do is get sort of the Israel


deal, where they don't talk about them anymore," Lewis told ABC News. "They exist and they can have as many as they want, but they won't parade them."

There was no immediate explanation from North Korea as to why the country chose not to showcase its greatest weapons.

On the eve of the opening ceremony for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in neighboring South Korea, a military parade in Kim II Sung Square not only featured ICBMs wheeled out on trailers, but also a speech in which Kim declared North Korea a "world-class military power" and warned aggressors against infringing on his country's sovereignty "even by 0.001 millimeter."

Kim did not speak at Sunday's parade. He capped off the procession by standing on the balcony overlooking the square with Li Zhanshu, specialenvoy sent by Chinese President Xi Jinping. The two men locked hand and smiled as the crowd below cheered.

There was also a large contingent of civilians that participated in the parade, holding colorful plastic bouquets as they marched through the square.

Kim Yong Nam, the head of North Korea's parliament, opened the parade with a speech emphasizing the country's economic ambitions over its military goals, a message that seemed to appease Trump.

"North Korea has just staged their parade, celebrating 70th anniversary of founding, without the customary display of nuclear missiles. Theme was peace and economics. Experts believe that North Korea cut out the nuclear missiles to show


each other! Much better than before I took office.

As has been the case in previous North Korean parades, U.S. intelligence analysts were expected to pore over every image available of the procession, in which ABC News and other Western media organizations attended.

North Korea's ability to launch long-range missiles from mobile launchers has drawn the most concern from U.S. military analysts because they can escape satellite detection and be fired on short notice.

North Korea had telegraphed as far back as 2012 that it is intent on attaining a missile capable of reaching theUnited States.

It was during a military parade in April 2012 that North Korea showed off a new large missile that U.S. intelligence called the KN-08, which were much larger than North Korea's previous mobile launched missiles.

Some analysts believed that the missiles displayed were mock-ups, others suspect they might be capable of reaching the United States, but North Korea never carried out a test flight of the missiles.

In July 2017 when North Korea launched its first ICBM, it was with another type of mobile-launched missile that had been paraded earlier that year.

During the military parade held on April 14, 2017, North Korea displayed a new type of missile that U.S. intelligence named the KN-17.

in Pyongyang, North Korea, Sept. 9, 2018.

Identified as a mobile-launched, single-stage missile powered by liquid fuel, it was initially believed to be a new type of anti-ship missile.

But it soon became apparent that North Korea was placing a priority on the new missile that it called the Hwasong-12. North Korea conducted several unsuccessful launches of the missile before it achieved a successful launch in May 2017.

And its significance grew as North Korea launched its first ICBM a few months later in July.

According to U.S. officials, U.S. intelligence determined that the two ICBM's launched by North Korea that month were actually "hybrid" KN-17's," meaning that a second stage had been placed atop the single-stage KN-17.

Last November, North Korea carried out a third ICBM launch that demonstrated it had a built a missile capable of reaching the mainland United States. Video imagery, of what U.S. intelligence dubbed the KN-22, indicated that the new missile was of a more advanced and larger design than the KN-17's tested as ICBMs.

At its pre-Olympic military parade in February, North Korea offered the world its first close-up look at what it called the Hwasong-15 missile. Four of the missiles, each transported on nine-axle transporters, were paraded through the square.

Iranian officials have been in talks with several Thai exporters to buy between 300,000 tons and 400,000 tons of rice, Chookiat Ophaswongse, president of Thai Rice Exporters' Association said in an interview today. Thailand is the world's biggest rice exporter.

The Iranian talks are ``probably caused by concern over trade sanctions,'' Chookiat said by telephone. ``Orders from Iran are unusual because the country has bought a very small quantity of rice from Thailand'' in the past.

The demo begins with Snake sneaking through a jungle area, he takes out a few enemies by using a mine that popped out an inflatable lookalike of Snake to distract them while the real Snake sneaked behind them and knocked them out with an electric stunner on his fist. He then attaches the enemies a helium balloon, which takes them out of sight.

Snake then proceeds to use his machine gun to kill several enemies. It's at this point that sniper Quiet joins the action, assisting Snake by providing overwatch and cover fire.


Education investigation, Seattle Public Schools launched a policy initiative to curtail school suspensions. Three years ago, the district announced a one-year moratorium on out-of-school suspensions for elementary students and created a districtwide plan to further reduce suspensions in middle and high schools. Last year, Washington state followed suit with a legislative initiative to decrease suspensions statewide.

To discipline-reform advocates, this is great news. But no one stopped to see what Seattle’s students thought about what was happening in their schools as suspensions were dramatically curtailed. Unfortunately, as fits a national pattern, Seattle students say that most of the 102 schools in the district have become less safe, less respectful, and less supportive places to learn.

So long as the district was being pressured by the government to press forward withFirst there was the election in Bulgaria 5 July which brought a new party to power - Boyko Borisov’s Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria. Borisov, or Batman, as he is affectionately called, was a Communist-era policeman who subsequently established a prosperous private security business and has been the mayor of Sofia since 2005. He campaigned on the usual - to fight corruption and secure a better economic future. The Batman bragged in an interview with Der Spiegel of receiving “letters of accolade” from the CIA and FBI, presumably for his battle with the dark forces. One of the first things he did as PM, however, was to suspend the existing energy contracts with Moscow, both the South Stream and a nuclear power plant project.

This triumph of “democracy”


has “made in USA” written all over it. In 2000, Moscow laid out two alternate pipelines, bypassing Ukraine and Poland - the North Stream under the Baltic Sea into Germany, and the South Stream under the Black Sea into Bulgaria and on to Europe. The government in Sofia, though a member of the EU and NATO, nonetheless signed energy agreements with Moscow in 2008.

This and the gas crisis between Ukraine and Russia in January 2009 made regime change in Bulgaria essential, and the services of the US government-funded National Endowment for Democracy - they helped overthrow the Bulgarian government in 1990 - were clearly made excellent use of. Just a week after elections marred by vote buying (despite or due to the NED?), Bulgaria’s new PM cancelled theRussian deal.

Borisov went to Ankara a week later to sign on to the EU Nabucco pipeline. Democrat Richard Morningstar, US special envoy for Eurasian energy, and Republican Senator Richard Lugar (note the bipartisanship) joined him in Ankara on 13 July for the signing ceremony. If all goes according to plan, the Nabucco project will upstage South Stream, bringing gas from the Caspian region and Middle East to Central and Western European markets, with possible suppliers Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Iraq.

Senator Lugar said - with a straight face - the Nabucco agreement signed in Turkey “is a signal to the rest of the world that partner governments will not acquiesce to manipulation of energy supplies for political ends. It also has the potential to build new avenues for


BEIJING: Several Chinese banks have expressed interest in issuing Panda bonds to help Malaysia out of its financial woes.

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, who is in China on his first working visit there, met with his Chinese counterpart Liu Kun along with senior management of several banks over the matter.

They include representatives from China Development Bank, China Construction Bank and The People's Bank Of China.

"All of them are interested in issuing the bonds. There are still many details to be discussed, such as pricing and the terms and conditions offered by the banks," Lim said here Tuesday (July 2).

Lim, however, refused to reveal the amount of bonds, saying it has to be discussed at the Cabinet meeting first.

Earlier, at a luncheon with Chinese investors here, Lim said Malaysiaand China were planning to set up a "special channel" for investors of both countries to boost bilateral investments.

The channel would enable smoother investment process and eventually encouraged more investments from businessmen of both sides, he said.

“We hoped to see more investments, Malaysians to invest in China and the Chinese to invest in Malaysia," he added.

Lim said this special channel would serve as an inquiry and problem-solving platform.

"This will strengthen the business ties of both countries towards a win-win situation," he added.

Lim arrived here on Sunday (June 30) for his first visit to China as the Finance Minister.

He left for Shanghai on Tuesday (July 2) night.

While in the financial hub, he is expected to attend dialogues with Chinese investors before leaving for Shenzhen, which is China's innovation and


technology hub.

In this southern city known as China's Silicon Valley, Lim is scheduled to visit several high-technology companies including Huawei and Internet-technology giant Tencent, which developed WeChat, to seek opportunities in developing Malaysia's digital economy and robotic technology.South Island Ski

Nova Scotia to ban fracking for onshore shale gas

Michael MacDonald, THE CANADIAN PRESS
Published Wednesday, September 3, 2014 2:25PM ADT
Last Updated Wednesday, September 3, 2014 7:27PM ADT

HALIFAX -- The Nova Scotia government will prohibit high-volume hydraulic fracturing for onshore shale gas, saying Wednesday the ban will remain in place until the province's population is ready to embrace the industry.

Energy Minister Andrew Younger said Nova Scotians have made it clear they are "not comfortable" with fracking.

"There is not a community in this province ... where there's a large number of people pushing to allow hydraulic fracturing," Younger told a news conference in Halifax.

"The resources belong to the people of Nova Scotia and they get to decide how they are harnessed."

Younger said the province's Liberal government will introduce legislation this fallto prohibit fracking for an indefinite time frame.

In making the announcement, Younger pointed to a key study released in April by an independent group of Canadian scientists.

The Council of Canadian Academies concluded that even though fracking could produce big economic benefits across Canada, there is significant uncertainty on the risks to the environment and human health.

"That contributed quite a bit to this debate," Younger said.

Younger's announcement came less than a week after a panel of Nova Scotia experts released a report saying fracking shouldn't be allowed until more independent research is done on health, environmental and economic impacts.

A two-year moratorium on fracking was put in place by the previous NDP government in 2012 as public protests grew in Nova Scotia and in neighbouring New Brunswick.

On Wednesday, Younger said


he took note of what has been happening in New Brunswick, where violent protests against fracking erupted last October near Rexton.

"We obviously wanted to avoid anything like that," he said.

"But this decision is not about avoiding violent protests. Had we allowed hydraulic fracturing in this province we would have managed that in a different way."

The Halifax-based Ecology Action Centre had called for a 10-year moratorium to allow time for a comprehensive study. However, the centre's Jennifer West said she is pleased with the government's decision.

"The environmental community, the grassroots and the rural population in Nova Scotia have really worked hard to make their voices heard," she said. "We're really relieved that the government has heard these voices."

Fracking is a process that forces pressurized water and chemicals into layersdown those numbers, suggesting the Wheeler report looked at the onshore oil and gas industry as a whole and not shale gas fracking in particular.

"It's speculation what that net revenue would be," Younger said. "Only a small portion of that is actually related to hydraulic fracturing."

Denver-based Triangle Petroleum drilled several test wells in central Nova Scotia in 2007 and 2008, but only three involved hydraulic fracturing. The wells were the first and only ones to be fracked in the province.

They failed to produce any commercial quantities of gas, and the company is still trying to get rid of two holding ponds containing 30 million litres of contaminated fracking wastewater.

The CMU football team wrapped up training camp with a team scrimmage on Saturday. The offense struggled early but came on late and here is a breakdown of each series and situation. Enos and his staff paired up the first team offense against the second team defense and vice-versa.

1&10 at the CMU 33-yard line (1st Team Off/2nd Team Def)-Ryan Radcliff had a first down pass to Kito Poblah and the offense got to midfield before the drive died out. Kenny McClendon had a sack to end the drive.

1&10 at the CMU 33-yard line (1st Team Off/2nd Team Def)-Avery Cunningham had an interception of Radcliff on a deep ball to Matt Torres. It was solid coverage and a good pick. The pass was a little under


It is too bad he will miss the first two games. On defense, I thought Cunningham looked good as well as a number of the defensive ends. The defense is showing it has some good depth.

Tipton suspended two games

I have just received word that running back Zurlon Tipton has been suspended for the first two games of the 2010 season due to a violation of team rules.

Dan Enos released the following statement on the matter:

"Due to a violation of team rules, redshirt-freshman running back Zurlon Tipton has been suspended for the first two games of the 2010 football season. Student-athletes at Central Michigan University are held to the highest expectation of accountability and responsibility. We will continually evaluate Zurlon’s contributions to the CMU football program in the community,lot of push on the front line.-Enos then set up a first and goal from the 3-yard line scenario and the offense went 6-for-6 in that. The first possession came down to fourth and goal from the two before Carl Volny blasted his way into the end zone. Volny and Zurlon Tipton had the best success in this drill, as they are the biggest running backs. Freshmen backs Ben Brown and Kevin King also scored in the drill.-The final few minutes of practice had the offense and defense start at the home 30-yard line with the offense trying to drive the field. The first team struggled on offense except for a short pass to Matt Torres that he took for a long gain, which set up a 40-yard


field goal attempt by freshman Paul Mudgett, which he missed wide right. Vince Agnew also had a sack during that series and he has had a good but quiet week.-The third team then stepped on the field to end the day and they turned the ball over on downs on a 4th & 11 situation at about the 25-yard line. On the final play, Anthony Hollis broke up a pass in the end zone from Fricker to Valtorrey Showers. Leterrius Walton blew up a running play for a highlight in the series.-Aaron Kaczmarski injured his left knee during the first team series, he attempted to keep going but couldn't put enough weight on his leg. The injury ended his day, but didn't seem to be too serious.

That isspecial teams today, so here are some notes on that. Richie Hogan is the backup punter as of now and Brett Hartmann looks to be the primary kickoff specialist.-In terms of return men, the following guys were working on fielding punts during practice: Taylor Bradley, Paris Cotton, Davon Muse, Lorenzo White, Valtorrey Showers, Vince Agnew, Zurlon Tipton, Cody Wilson, Billy Myler, Jahleel Addae, and Carl Volny. I would think Bradley would be an ideal return man because of his speed and quickness, but I am not sure who Enos will use to returns kicks and punts as of now.-In terms of injuries, the following offensive linemen are still limited contact in practice: Zach Wiersma, Darren Keyton, Jake Olson, Jeff Maddux, Jon Czerwienski, and Matt Kanitz. All take part


he locks on to a primary receiver and struggles with the play when that receiver isn't open. He also forces some passes to his first read but there are also times where he goes through his reads and does a nice job. I think it will just be a work in progress early on. He just needs to try and manage the offense in the first four games of the season.

CMU Fall Practice Day 3 Notes

Not too much to report on today. The guys put on shoulder pads for the first time and got in some physical drills. Most involved linebackers and linemen against the offensive line and tight ends. In those drills, freshman Leterrius Walton did a nice job of moving guys around. He really has goodthe season and in most nickel packages, Bolden came in for the first team to play the third corner position.

Here are some observations and notes:-While Taylor Bradley has the coaches praise, right now Matt Torres is with the first team and he made some nice catches in traffic during 11-on-11 drills.-The quarterbacks threw the ball down field a lot during drills and Derek Rifenbury had a few nice passes to Bradley. Rifenbury looked better to me today than yesterday and seemed to have more confidence.-Bradley has a lot of speed and agility. He made a nice move on Lavarus Williams on a short pass to break into open field. I think Bradley will be a huge asset in the passing game this year.-The staff continues to use David


also are in the mix, but Hogan seems to be the most consistent.-On a sad note, don't expect to see Tim Phillips much if at all this season. I guess his arm injury is pretty serious and will have him out a while. The positive in that is that he does have a redshirt year available, so if he is to miss the whole season, he wouldn't lose a year of eligibility.

2010 Training Camp: Practice 1 Notes

Today is always an exciting day for football fans and for myself as well as it was the first day of fall practice for the Central Michigan football team. There are plenty of great story lines heading in and things to talk about. Here are my notes and thoughts on day 1:

Otherof USC.

The study, published in the journal Nature on May 16, updates the understanding of how mammals evolved and dispersed across major continents during the age of dinosaurs. It suggests that the divide of the ancient landmass Pangea continued for about 15 million years later than previously thought and that mammal migration and that of their close relatives continued during the Early Cretaceous (145 to 101 million years ago).

"For a long time, we thought early mammals from the Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago) were anatomically similar and not ecologically diverse," Huttenlocker said. "This finding by our team and others reinforce that, even before the rise of modern mammals, ancient relatives of mammals were exploring specialty niches: insectivores, herbivores, carnivores, swimmers, gliders. Basically, they were occupying a


variety of niches that we see them occupy today."

The study reveals that the early mammal precursors migrated from Asia to Europe, into North America and further onto major Southern continents, said Zhe-Xi Luo, senior author of the study and a paleontologist at the University of Chicago.

Fossil find: a new species

Huttenlocker and his collaborators at the Utah Geological Survey and The University of Chicago named the new species Cifelliodon wahkarmoosuch.

Found in the Cretaceous beds in eastern Utah, the fossil is named in honor of famed paleontologist Richard Cifelli. The species name, "wahkarmoosuch" means "yellow cat" in the Ute tribe's language in respect of the area where it was found.

The new species Cifelliodon wahkarmoosuch is estimated to have weighed 2.5 pounds and probably grew to be about the size ofa small hare. Credit: Keck School of Medicine of USC/Jorge A. Gonzalez

Scientists used high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scanners to analyze the skull.

"The skull of Cifelliodon is an extremely rare find in a vast fossil-bearing region of the Western Interior, where the more than 150 species of mammals and reptile-like mammal precursors are represented mostly by isolated teeth and jaws," said James Kirkland, study co-author in charge of the excavation and a Utah State paleontologist.

With an estimated body weight of up to 2.5 pounds, Cifelliodon would seem small compared to many living mammals, but it was a giant among its Cretaceous contemporaries. A full-grown Cifelliodon was probably about the size of a small hare or pika (small mammal with rounded ears, short limbs and a very small tail).

It had


via Pangean landmasses remained intact into the Early Cretaceous.

Most of the Jurassic and Cretaceous fossils of haramiyidans are from the Triassic and Jurassic of Europe, Greenland and Asia. Hahnodontidae was previously known only from the Cretaceous of Northern Africa. It is to this group that Huttenlocker argues Cifelliodon belongs, providing evidence of migration routes between the continents that are now separated in northern and southern hemispheres.

"But it's not just this group of haramiyidans," Huttenlocker said. "The connection we discovered mirrors others recognized as recently as this year based on similar Cretaceous dinosaur fossils found in Africa and Europe."

The caller told 911 dispatchers he could hear a man shouting a woman's name. Once the caller got off the phone with dispatch, a man knocked on his door and asked him if he knew CPR. The caller said he did not, but went into the man's apartment anyway and say a woman, later identified as DeMars, lying on the bed, apparently not breathing. Documents state that while the caller was attempting CPR, the man ran from the apartment.

When officers arrived, they were met outside the home by a man telling them "she's upstairs and she's overdosing." The two officers went into the apartment


and found DeMars on a bed. The two officers reported seeing numerous needles, a "cooking spoon" and other drug paraphernalia near the bed, while DeMars was unresponsive and throwing up. Officers attempted to communicate with DeMars and she was eventually able to tell them her name.

Court documents state one of the officers told medics she thought DeMars had been shot. Documents say the officer was "finally able to convince medical personnel to check DeMars for a gunshot wound" and saw what appeared to be a gunshot wound in DeMars' stomach. DeMars was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died.

Thoughtfully constructed roads reduce effects on streams

Forest roads are essential for getting timber to the mill, and for fighting wildfire. Yet some roads, especially older roads, are a source of sediment flowing into streams.

With significant amounts of research and innovation over the past couple decades, the way forest roads are built – and where they are built – has been overhauled.

Newer, higher standards

Location is key

Today, forest roads are more often located away from streams and other water sources, so any runoff is drained onto the forest floor. Nowadays, roads are often located on ridgelines, for instance, and away from steep slopes.

Engineered to lessen impact

Excavation, surface preparation, drainage, gravel installation and grading are typically planned and overseen by a civil engineer to minimize the chance that muddy runoff willEDITORIALS

Richard Dudman was a Washington correspondent with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for 31 years and posted stories from around the world, including Argentina, the Middle East, China and Vietnam. He was the BDN's senior contributing editor for 12 years.

Posted July 02, 2012, at 4:21 p.m.

Richard Dudman was tired of reporting about U.S. forces trying to find well-armed communist supporters in Cambodia. As a correspondent with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch covering the Vietnam war, he had taken several helicopter rides into the country with the military, and they never found the weapons or Viet Cong units they were looking for.

So Dudman, with journalists Michael Morrow and Elizabeth Pond, decided to explore on their own and drove in the direction of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. It was May


last day.

Recently he talked about his experiences as a lifetime newspaperman. He survived the 40-day capture in Cambodia — even developing a rapport with the communist captors.

“They wanted to keep us alive, and I think they felt if they treated us right we’d write some stuff that would put them in a fairly good light,” Dudman said.

He wrote an account for the Post-Dispatch and later expanded it into a book, “40 Days with the Enemy.” In 1978 he survived another ordeal in Cambodia when he was fired on after he and two colleagues interviewed Pol Pot, the extremist Khmer Rouge leader.

He kept returning to the Far East over his lifetime. In 1993, he traveled to a remote village in Vietnam to interview the retired general who had capturedand later released him in Cambodia.

He said he always had a bag packed, an up-to-date air travel card and an active international credit card. “I was ready for anything.”

He described his era as a golden age for foreign correspondents because there were often several news organizations all covering the same story overseas. The end result benefited the reading public. “I think competition over content is essential,” he said.

Dudman had an extensive, and impressive, list of assignments in Washington, D.C., and many other countries. In his 31 years with the Post-Dispatch, he covered Fidel Castro’s insurgency in Cuba, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, the invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, the Watergate scandal, the Iran-Contra scandal and wars and revolutions in Latin America


and the Middle East, in addition to the Far East.

On his last day of work as the paper’s Washington bureau chief in 1981, he remembers running up Connecticut Avenue to cover the shooting of President Ronald Reagan.

He moved to Maine after his retirement but still worked for the Post-Dispatch on special assignments. In 1986 the Chinese government allowed him to write an exclusive on the earthquake that had killed 242,000 people in 1976. The government had kept reporters out until the city of Tangshan was rebuilt.

Among many other awards and fellowships, he won the George Polk career award in 1993. He and his wife, Helen Sloane, have two daughters: Janet Sloane Dudman, of Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., and Martha Tod Dudman, of Northeast Harbor.

Newspaper writing ran in Dudman’s family. Hisuncle, Dan Beebe — often called Dynamo Dan — was editor and publisher of the Oreville Mercury Register in California, and Dudman worked there in the summers during college. During the school year he wrote and took photographs for Stanford University’s newspaper. He majored in journalism and economics there, graduating in 1940.

He served as a merchant marine during World War II, traveling on ships in the north Atlantic and dodging German submarines. He volunteered for the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1942 and served four years, becoming executive officer of his ship.

He later worked at the Denver Post for four years where he wrote many stories about displaced European Jews seeking an Israeli state. He transmitted articles via a telegraph.

But Denver was too small for him, he said, and


a visit to St. Louis told him he wanted to work for the Post-Dispatch. The paper had no openings, though, so he kept in touch with an editor there for a year and a half and continuously sent him letters and articles he wrote. It translated into a job in 1949.

Dudman started work at the Post-Dispatch in the winter, and there was a big snowstorm. His editor couldn’t get to work, so Dudman drove his war surplus Jeep over lawns, in order to avoid snow drifts, to bring his boss to the office. He remembers him as a small, chubby man, hanging onto the handle in the vehicle as they bounced through the snow.

Dudman said he credits that trip with making his boss think he was resourceful andCarey.

Other British fighters have come close to achieving that incredible milestone in recent times including Dean Bramhald (163) and Seamus Casey (164) but only 34 year-old Coleman is destined to reach it.

Buckley’s career stats of 28 wins, 162 losses and nine draws, do not begin to tell half the story about this incredible fighting man from the Midlands. In a 14 year career that started with a six round draw against Alan Baldwin in October 1989, Buckley has faced 10 world champions, five European and 11 British titleholders and been stopped just 10 times.

Acelino Frietas, Naseem Hamed, Duke McKenzie, Colin McMillan, Paul Ingle, Michael Brodie and Scott Harrison are just a few of the more high profile names on his record.

Halifax employee’s ‘year of hell’ after she was sacked for being pregnant

The consultation for South Tyneside and Sunderland hospital services started today.

Published:08:12Tuesday 06 June 2017

A job agency gave an employee “a year of hell” after she was sacked for being PREGNANT, an employment tribunal heard.

Daniella Lewandowski, 31, was unfairly dismissed by the Bradford District Apprenticeship Training Agency when she announced she was going to become a mother.

The expectant mother, who joined the agency in 2015, was due to renew her £33,000-a-year managerial role - but was told she would not be offered a new contract.

Tribunal Judge John Robertson awarded Ms Lewandowski, who later miscarried the child, a total of £25,000 in compensation against the agency ran by Get Bradford Working programme.

Judge Robertson ruled: “We do find the dismissalwas both substantially and procedurally unfair.

“Being dismissed and losing your job because you are pregnant is a serious act of discrimination.”

Ms Lewandowski said she had been told her contract, due to end on March 31, 2016, would be extended for a year, but after her pregnancy came to light she was informed this would no longer happen.

The tribunal hearing in Leeds, heard Ms Lewandowski made legal claims against the agency for discrimination because of her pregnancy and for unfair dismissal.

The respondents, who denied she lost her job because of pregnancy, told the tribunal that she was dismissed because of redundancy, and that her fixed term contract had expired.

But Ms Lewandowski said that her contract had been verbally extended early in 2016 after she had been promoted to apprenticeship


manager and that she had been awarded a pay increase.

She said she had spent five weeks “chasing” the written terms of her extended contract, which would have kept her in the job until March 2017 and that she was dismissed after announcing her pregnancy.

Ms Lewandowski accused the respondents of making her feel vulnerable and complained she had experienced a “year of hell”.

Judge Robertson said the claim was not an exaggeration and sided with the complainant.

She complained her contract had been terminated prematurely and said she had lost the trust and confidence of her employers, adding: “I loved my job - I was punished for being pregnant.”

The tribunal report also says that some of the respondents from the agency had given “unreliable” evidence.

Judge Robertson concluded that Ms Lewandowski, whounfortunately had suffered a miscarriage but had found other employment, had been treated unfairly by the respondents by way of dismissing her because of her pregnancy.

He awarded her £9,130, including interest, £15,600 for injury to feelings and £435 for loss of statutory rights.

At the time of her dismissal, the agency’s board included Andrew Welsh, Group CEO of Bradford College and Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, who is now the leader of Bradford Council but then was in charge of employment issues for the authority.

The agency which hosts offices in Bradford, West Yorks., is a joint venture between Bradford College and Bradford Council.

It describes itself as an organisation offering an “all round hassle free solution to hiring an apprentice by acting as a broker between employer and apprentice”.

The trabeculoplasty procedure results in lowered intraocular pressure which lasts for only a limited time period. The scar tissue which forms after the procedure severely limits the efficacy of subsequent trabeculoplasties on a given patient. In an alternate procedure, trabeculopuncture, the absorption of laser radiation at high fluence and irradiance (Watts/cm.sup.2) causes photodisruption of the TM tissue, producing a hole through the TM into Schlemm's canal, the major outflow vessel. The laser-created trabeculopuncture channel into Schlemm's canal eventually fills in with fibrotic tissue; the beneficial effects of the procedure on intraocular pressure are not permanent.Related Media

SCHLADMING, Austria - The USA narrowly missed the medals in Sunday's FIS Alpine Ski World Championships women's downhill, as Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley was a .15 out of the prizes in fifth place while Truckee native Stacey Cook was sixth.

France's Marion Rolland took the surprise gold.

In an aggressive race that featured higher speeds than training, the twisty, turny Schladming S turn midway down the course took its toll on the American racers, as both Mancuso and Cook were dominating their runs up to that point.

"I don't know where I lost it - I'm a little frustrated right now," Cook said after the race. "I want to talk to my coaches to find out where all that time went."

"It was really difficult with fast snow," Mancuso said.


downhill team in the world."

Olympic medalist Andrew Weibrecht finished 22nd and teammate Steven Nyman was 25th to lead the USA in a rugged downhill at the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in Schladming on Saturday.

Despite an incredibly fast top section, Marco Sullivan of Squaw Valley went out above the finish pitch, while fellow Squaw racer Travis Ganong also did not finish.

Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal took a dominant win over Italy's Dominik Paris. France's David Poisson took bronze. Nyman fell midway through his run but recovered and finished 25th.Around the world, national governments are recognizing that investment in science, technology and innovation is a key driver of economic growth. In the past five years, more than forty countries have published national innovation plans; Indonesia is among them. But the success of the Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development (MP3EI) and the Mid-Term National Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-19, will not come from planning but from effective implementation of a focused strategy.

In the 1970s, Indonesia made significant investments into science and technology, acknowledging the important role innovation plays in development. But that support has dwindled and Indonesia’s growth has primarily been driven by trade.

A comparative look around the region indicates Indonesia is falling behind its neighbors in science and technology. According to a recent report

Okay, the first half is excruciatingly slow I will admit to that. However the second half when the war starts in Boston picks up and moves very fast.

Great book

This book puts the reader on the scene in the American Revolution. Great read. The book is like new, but I certainly did not pay a new price for it. A real bargain. Keep up the good work, Alibris. I am on a fixed retirement income and must watch the dollars and cents very closely. Alibris makes it possible for me to maintain my personal library.

historical fiction

A very good rendering of the events and people leading up to the revolution. Now moving on to the second volume, "The Glorious Cause", to complete the series. Also suggest David McCullough's "1776" as a complimentary light reading of events during the same period.

Publishers Weekly, 2001-05-21Once more breathing vigor and passion intothe dusty annals of our nation's history, the author of the bestselling Civil War trilogy (Gods and Generals; The Last Full Measure; Gone for Soldiers) demonstrates an ever-growing level of literary competence in the first installment of his projected two-volume saga of the American Revolution. Spanning the crucible years beginning with the Boston Massacre in March 1770 and continuing through the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July, 4, 1776, the story is told from the perspective of a handful of characters well known from our history books. In Boston, the Sons of Liberty activist Samuel Adams and his younger, more intellectual and oratorical second cousin, John Adams, speak out against King George III. In London there's aging Philadelphian Benjamin Franklin, who has resided for a number


of years abroad, an agent for home colony Pennsylvania (and others). In New York, Gen. Thomas Gage is the ranking British officer on American soil. And heroic colonial planter George Washington has risen to full colonel in the Virginia militia fighting for George III during the French and Indian War. This masterful dramatization of the fateful escalation of the rebellion following the Boston Massacre moves from the battles of 1775 at Lexington, Concord, Fort Ticonderoga, Bunker Hill and the siege of Boston, through the convening in 1776 of the Continental Congress and the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Richly embroidered with portraits of such heroes as Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, Paul Revere, John Hancock and Thomas Jefferson, the tapestry chronicles America's plunge toward liberty.

With Wall Street engulfed in crisis, the Securities and Exchange Commission is planning measures to rein in aggressive forms of short-selling that were blamed in part for the demise of Lehman Brothers and which some fear could be turned against other vulnerable companies.

During emergency meetings between federal officials and investment bank executives over the weekend, SEC Chairman Christopher Cox indicated to the bankers that the agency plans in a few days to impose new permanent protections against abusive "naked" short-selling, a person familiar with the matter said Monday.

Unlike the SEC's temporary emergency ban this summer covering naked short-selling in 19 stocks, the new measures would apply to trading in the broader market.

Was it politically motivated? Was it a discussion of how creators should act online? Or was it something else?

Whatever the reasoning, the speed with which the creators' comments shot across the Internet speaks to the power of social media. Lobdell, who's writing three of DC's "New 52" titles, and Marz, whose work can be seen in Top Cow's Artifacts and the new DC title Voodoo, became the focus of a heated internet debate among fans.

In the wake of it all, some fans have even launched attacks at the creators. Others have labeled their actions in ways that were never actually explained. To clear up the whole thing, Newsarama decided to simply ask Marz and Lobdell to explain what the conversation was really about.

When this bullet hit a target the lead head would deform (or "mushroom"), spreading the force of the bullet out and causing larger wounds. In public trials held in 1896 the bullet was proved to have a greater stopping power than the Mark II. This was not the first expanding bullet, hollow-point bullets had been developed earlier particularly for use in hunting.

The British Army adopted the bullet and used it against Asian and African opponents, but it was thought "too cruel" for use against Europeans. The dum dum bullet was banned by the Hague Convention of 1899

In rebuttal, however, the State called the bailiff from the court on March 1, 1999, who testified that a copy of the docket sheet from the court's staff records for that day shows his notation "BF" next to Lugo's name. He stated that while he had no personal knowledge of whether he called the name, his notation indicated that he did.
Thus, there was no affirmative testimony or evidence presented that showed Lugo's name was not called, only that there are no official records that it was called.
