Facing high-scoring Denver, Florida knew it had to be at its best defensively in its NCAA women's lacrosse championship second-round matchup.
The Gators responded with a smothering defensive effort in the 16-5 win over the Pioneers on Sunday afternoon at Dizney Stadium.

The purpose of this study was to elaborate a preliminary list of the mite species associated with rubber trees in the municipality of Santana, in the state of Amapá, Brazil. Two collections of rubber tree leaves were conducted on May 2nd and June 5th , 2010. Twenty-five plants were sampled at random. Three leaves were collected per plant, from the lower third of the crown. The samples were placed in paper bags, packed in an isothermal box chilled gel-based pulp plant (Gelo-X(®)), and transported to the Entomology Laboratory at Embrapa Amapá, in Macapá. The leaflets were examined under a stereomicroscope, and the mites found on the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of

Daryl Janmaat's low pass for van der Vaart enabled the Hamburg midfielder to break the deadlock, and Van Gaal was pleased his side had a fruitful final 45 minutes after a frustrating first half.

"There wasn't much time. The first half was an improvement in the second half.''

Through the eyes of a child

God recently allowed me to see Jesus through the eyes of someone seeing Him for the first time. Having the advantage of knowing how the story ends, we can easily forget the cost of our redemption and the Love of our Saviour.

Every year we attend a local Church pageant which tells the Story of Jesus from His birth through His resurrection. It is a spectacular event, with live animals and hundreds of cast members in realistic costumes.

The Magi enter the huge auditorium on Llamas from the rear, descending the steps in pomp and majesty. Roman Soldiers look huge and menacing in their costumes and makeup.

Of all the years we have attended, one stands out indelibly in my


heart. It was the year we took our then three-year-old Granddaughter, Bailey, who Loves Jesus. She was totally mesmerized throughout the entire play, not just watching, but involved as if she were a player. She watches as Joseph and Mary travel to the Inn and is thrilled when she sees the baby Jesus in His Mother’s arms.

Later when Jesus, on a young Donkey, descends the steps from the back of the auditorium, depicting His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Bailey was ecstatic. As he neared our aisle, Bailey began jumping up and down, screaming, “Jesus, Jesus! There’s Jesus!” Not just saying the words but exclaiming them with every fiber of her being. She alternated between screaming his name and hugging us. “It’s Jesus. Look!” I thought she might actuallyit!”She stood in her seat reacting to each and every move. People around us at first smiled at her reaction, thinking “How cute!”. Then they quit smiling and began watching her watch Him. In a most powerful scene, the Soldiers lead Jesus carrying the cross down the steps of the auditorium from the back. They were yelling, whipping, and cursing at Jesus, who was bloodied and beaten.

Bailey was now hysterical. “Stop it! Soldiers! Stop it,” she screamed. She must have been wondering why all these people did nothing. She then began to cry instead of scream.

“Jesus, Oh, Jesus!” People all around us began to weep as we all watch this devoted little Disciple see her Jesus beaten and killed as those first Century Disciples had. Now going back


Community radio helps voice life-saving messages in flood-affected areas of Gaza province

Ms. Teresa Zita, Coordinator of Xai-Xai Community Radio, interviewing Linda, a flood survivor and current resident of the Tomamine resettlement camp in Gaza.

GAZA, Mozambique – 21 March 2011 – Before, during and after the January 2011 floods in Mozambique, Communication for Development (C4D) activities supported by UNICEF Mozambique were initiated and scaled up across the flood-affected provinces. These C4D activities reach people with life-saving messages in the localities where they reside at any given time, through a mix of different media and communication tools. The messages include information about water, sanitation and hygiene practices in a flood situation.

“It was a very hot and humid morning when the Coordinator of the Community Radio of Xai-Xai, Ms. Teresa Zitaand I left for the recently established resettlement camp of Tomanine, in Guijá district in Gaza province,” says Marie-Consolée Mukangendo, UNICEF Communication for Development Specialist, as she tells the story of the visit to the camp. Ms. Zita’s goal that morning was to interview residents of the resettlement camp and broadcast their stories on the community radio.

Community radios in Gaza province and other provinces, as well as Radio Mozambique (RM), the national broadcaster, have been broadcasting live programmes on health issues, like the prevention of cholera and malaria, and on other important issues, like child rights in emergencies, and continued to do so during the time of the floods. They aired radio spots at least three times a day that informed and sensitized the communities and tried to


reach all flood-affected families.

When the radio team arrived in the Tomanine resettlement camp, a group of women with babies on their laps were sitting in a circle waiting for food assistance and other help to arrive. The presence of a person from the community radio generated curiosity and excitement and broke the daily routine. Linda, a young woman in her thirties, was asked by the community leader to share her story with the radio listeners. Being on the radio was a new experience for her, and she looked frail and shy. The community radio coordinator took Linda aside to record an interview. Linda was asked about how and under which conditions she had reached the resettlement camp. She explained that at the beginning of the flooding she wasreluctant to leave her house and that she did not know a whole lot about the flood situation in her district. The water continued to rise, however, and she was forced to leave her house and look for shelter elsewhere.

“I arrived here on the eighteenth of January, right at the beginning of the floods, along with my three children,” said Linda.

Linda and her son Nelcio, sitting by their tent in the Tomanine resettlement camp.

Linda and her family had been caught off guard by the rising water and were advised by the community leader to seek refuge on higher ground.

“My 11-year old daughter was almost swept away by the intensity of the water!” she said, pointing to the broken bridge were they had crossed, a location on the low-lying


sons of want and struggle, the sons of incredible privation and heroic effort who before all should be members of such a party. That is why the Party of the Leninists, the Party of the Communists, is also called the Party of the working class.

DEPARTING FROM US, COMRADE LENIN ENJOINED US TO HOLD HIGH AND GUARD THE PURITY OF THE GREAT TITLE OF MEMBER OF THE PARTY, WE VOW TO YOU, COMRADE LENIN, WE SHALL FULFIL YOUR BEHEST WITH HONOUR!

For twenty-five years Comrade Lenin tended our Party and made it into the strongest and most highly steeled worker’ party in the world. The blows of tsarism and its henchmen, the fury of the bourgeoisie and the landlords, the armed attacks of Kolchak and Denikin, the armed intervention ofThe workers could not have defeated the capitalists without the support of the peasants. The peasants could not have defeated the landlords without the leadership of the workers. This is borne out by the whole history of the civil war in our country. But the struggle to consolidate the Republic of Soviets is by no means at an end — it has only taken on a new form. Before, the alliance of the workers and peasants took the form of a military alliance, because it was directed against Kolchak and Denikin. Now, the alliance of the workers and peasants must assume the form of economic co-operation between town and country, between workers and peasants, because it is directed against the merchant and the kulak, and its aim is


of the workers and peasants, that it embodies a union of free nationalities, that it is protected by the mighty arm of the Red Army and the Red Navy. The strength, the firmness, the solidity of our country is due to the profound sympathy and unfailing support it finds in the hearts of the workers and peasants of the whole world. The workers and peasants of the whole world want to preserve the Republic of Soviets as an arrow shot by the sure hand of Comrade Lenin into the camp of the enemy, as the pillar of their hopes of deliverance from oppression and exploitation, as a reliable beacon pointing the path to their emancipation. They want to preserve it, and they will not allow the landlords andcapitalists to destroy it. Therein lies our strength. Therein lies the strength of the working people of all countries. And therein lies the weakness of the bourgeoisie all over the world.

Lenin never regarded the Republic of Soviets as an end in itself. He always looked on it as an essential link for strengthening the revolutionary movement in the countries of the West and the East, an essential link for facilitating the victory of the working people of the whole world over capitalism. Lenin knew that this was the only right conception, both from the international standpoint and from the standpoint of preserving the Republic of Soviets itself. Lenin knew that this alone could fire the hearts of the working people of the whole world with determination to fight


the decisive battles for their emancipation. That is why, on the very morrow of the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, he, the greatest of the geniuses who have led the proletariat, laid the foundation of the workers’ International. That is why he never tired of extending and strengthening the union of: the working people of the whole world — the Communist International.

You have seen during the past few days the pilgrimage of scores and hundreds of thousands of working people to Comrade Lenin’s bier. Before long you will see the pilgrimage of representatives of millions of working people to Comrade Lenin’s tomb. You need not doubt that the representatives of millions will be followed by representatives of scores and hundreds of millions from all parts ofof the Bolshevik Party, he took a solemn vow to hold sacred and fulfil the behests of Lenin. In connection with the death of Lenin, the congress adopted an appeal «To Toiling Mankind». To perpetuate the memory of Lenin, the congress adopted a decision to publish Lenin's Works, to change the name of Petrograd to Leningrad, to establish a Day of Mourning, and to erect a mausoleum for Lenin in the Red Square in Moscow, and monuments to him in the capitals of the Union Republics and also in the cities of Leningrad and Tashkent.

Thuringia, and an armed uprising broke out in Hamburg. After the suppression of the revolutionary movement in Germany bourgeois reaction was intensified all over Europe, as well as the danger of a new intervention against the Soviet Republic.Fyre Media founder Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule. Fyre Festival was advertised as a very luxurious music festival scheduled to take place on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas over two weekends in April and May 2017. It had been promoted by prominent Instagramers including Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski.

Tickets for the event were going for $1,500, and VIP packages that included airfare and luxury tent accommodations for US$12,000. Not long after festival goers arrived, the festival was cancelled.

The heart of the brand is defined by creating new mediums of music and design with the world through powerful, passionate, and meaningful collections.address and a telephone number appear on the various letters that ADA directed to the debtor. These premises are made available to ADA by its attorneys, the law firm of Cummings & Birkel, which holds the principal lease for the office. There are two secretarial assistants present at this office, neither of whom is employed by ADA, but have been assigned to it by one of ADA's subcontractors. One of these secretaries signed for the certified mail directed to ADA.
ADA admits that at any one time two to four employees of ADA may be present in Washington, D.C. and they use the 2020 K Street facilities. These foreign national employees of ADA are present in the United States under temporary business visas granted by the United States Consulate


in Saudi Arabia. These individuals coordinate technical data and exercise quality certification necessary to facilitate the offshore procurement of materials to be delivered to the King Khalid Military City Project as required by ADA's contract for this project *969 with the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Thus, ADA's employees are present at the 2020 K Street address for the purpose of administering aspects of contracts with ADA, including the debtor's contract, which is the subject of this case.
The debtor's contract with ADA, dated February 1, 1980, was originally negotiated and executed by the parties in the General Motors Building on Fifth Avenue, New York City. There were four subsequent amendments of the contract in question. The first amendment, dated April 23, 1980 was also executed in NewYork City. The second amendment dated March 24, 1981, was negotiated and executed at 2020 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. The third amendment, dated September 14, 1981, was executed in the offices of the National Bank of Pakistan, 100 Wall Street, New York City. The fourth amendment, dated December 14, 1981, was also executed at the 2020 K Street address in Washington, D.C. Thus, the original contract and two of its four amendments were executed by the parties in New York City.
Following the execution of the original contract a representative of ADA periodically visited the debtor's premises in New York approximately once a month to inspect various materials to be furnished by the debtor under the contract, to coordinate supplies and to update correspondence and activities. That representative


of ADA was Safdar Abbas, who described himself in the affidavit sworn to April 26, 1982, submitted in support of ADA's motion, as "Manager of Purchasing for Al-Huseini-ADA (Saudi Arabia), Ltd." It was Safdar Abbas who acknowledged receipt of the copies of the summons and complaint in this case when he sent a Telex, dated April 23, 1982, to Mr. Ahmed Nawaz Khan, Deputy Managing Director of ADA in Saudi Arabia, requesting information for the preparation of a defense. In this Telex Mr. Abbas said:
"We have previously transmitted on or about March 23, 1982 to you the contents of the complaint of Schack Industries, Inc. and accompanying affidavit of Bernard Golor, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on March 19, 1982, as well as the Order to Showaccents there were before widespread literacy and then radio, film and
television helped to further standardize things. They spoke the same way as
the people in their area -- but that's no guarantee they wouldn't stick out if
they moved far enough away that nobody would recognize them.

In central Italy (e.g. Tuscany or Umbria), still nowadays, you can experience
a clearly recognizable change in accent by just moving to the next village
5-10 km down the road. Until not so long ago, it was normal in many places in
Europe to call "foreigner" anyone who was not from the same village (my
grandparents, born in the first half of the '900 in a village which is less
than 30 km from Rome, called people from Rome "stranieri" which in Italian
means "foreigners"). This must sound almost incredible


Neal Falls was shot by a woman he tried to rape and strangle in Charleston, West Virginia.
Photograph: Charleston Police Department

When a woman in Charleston, West Virginia, opened her front door to greet a stranger she had arranged to meet through an escort ad she had placed with Backpage.com, she knew instantly she was in mortal danger. The man said just three words – “Live or die” – then held a gun to her stomach.

That was the start of 10 minutes of unadulterated horror. The man grabbed the woman by the throat and dragged her around the house, until in a rush of pure adrenaline and an effort for self-preservation, she snatched up his gun and shot once, killing him.

From there the story of the woman’s encounter with aviolent attacker gets stranger still. When homicide detectives from the Charleston police department began combing over the site on the day of the attack, 18 July, they were amazed by what they found.

The slain attacker, Neal Falls, appeared at first sight to be unexceptional – a 45-year-old former security guard from Springfield, Oregon, who had no serious criminal record and only a few minor traffic infractions to his name. But then, investigators were puzzled to find that he had no money on him. Why would a man visit an escort for an appointment with no money on him?

The trunk of Falls’ Subaru Forester car provided plenty of grisly clues to his intentions. It included an array of handcuffs, two axes, a machete, a bullet-proof vest and – the


most disturbing items – a shovel and a bottle of bleach.

Police now believe that the woman, who has not been named to spare further trauma, not only saved her own life but may have prevented the deaths of countless other women in future. They are actively investigating the possibility that Falls could have been a serial killer who operated across several states.

The search has now taken in Chillicothe, Ohio, a small town of about 20,000 people where at least six women have disappeared, four later turning up dead, in the past couple of months. According to the Huffington Post, the investigation has also expanded to Nevada, where detectives are comparing Falls’ DNA to materials found at the scene of the murder and dismemberment of several prostitutes up toarrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead—or rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie?

The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria—a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country’s political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune, and now plans to marry her niece off for money. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible—until she’s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses.

him, He would not have created the Throne, the Pedestal, the heaven, earth, sun or moon’. But this is not a hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him: neither authentic nor weak. It was not related by any of those versed in the Hadith discipline on the authority of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Nor is it known to have come from any of the Companions. In fact, it is not known who actually uttered it.

It is possible, though, to explain it from a correct perspective such as by Allah’s saying: He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and the earth. 45:13 And by His words: He subjected the ships to you that they may run upon the sea at His command, andthe possibility of there being other wisdoms for the act. Similarly, the statement: ‘Were it not for so and so, such and such would not have been created’, does not negate the possibility of their being another higher wisdom behind the act. Instead it implies that since the most pious of humanity is Muhammad, creating him was a desirable end of deep-seated wisdom more so than for creating anyone else, and that the completion of creation and the crown of its very perfection only occurred with Muhammad, peace be upon him… Now since man is the the seal of creation; the last of creation and its microcosm, then the best of them will also be the best of all creation in the absolute sense.

LAS VEGAS - Efe Ajagba (10-0) made quick work of Michael Wallisch on Saturday night. The hard hitting Nigerian obliterated the overmatched German in two rounds at the Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino.

In the main event of the evening, former champions Robert Easter Jr. and Rances Barthelemy battled to a split draw. Viktor Postol defeated Mohamed Mimoune by unanimous decision in the co-feature bout to round out the tripleheader.

The fight was Ajagba’s Showtime debut and he passed his step up test with flying colors. He got off to a fast start as Wallisch’s face started to become bruised in the first round and after taking a knee in the second round, the fight was stopped by the referee seconds later.

After the fight Ajagba was in a great"You have got a new British Government that has taken the initiative on spending, has galvanised other European leaders and is having an impact. You are seeing a different approach that is yielding results."

Budget rising next year

The budget is due to rise by 2.9 per cent next year, despite Mr Cameron's call for a freeze at a previous summit.

This figure was a compromise agreed after the European Parliament demanded a 6 per cent rise. The Prime Minister said he had not been able to achieve a freeze next year because Britain had been outvoted.

The Shadow Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, accused Mr Cameron of "desperately trying to appear tough in front of his eurosceptic backbenchers at home", while "agreeing to give more money to the EU".

She added: "The EU


Comstock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- Dramatic video has surfaced of an airliner moments after its engine caught fire about 30,000 feet in the air above Turkey, which the airline attributed to a lightning strike.

Turkish Airlines says the plane with 114 people aboard made an emergency landing last Thursday after the incident.

A passenger caught the entire ordeal on tape as sparks were seen flying out of the damaged engine through the window. Passengers on board were warned of turbulence shortly before the lights in the cabin went dark. There was little panic on board the flight as everyone remained in their seats.

Amateur video taken from the ground showed a flame streaking across the night sky.

The flight was en route to Izmir from Istanbul and was preparing to land at Izmir whenIn the US, the wearing of headdresses for fashion reasons has become controversial. Celebrities such as Pharrell Williams and Harry Styles caused controversy by wearing the headgear in photographs. Meanwhile football team the Washington Redskins are under pressure to change their name and logo, which many see as a racial slur. In the US it is illegal to misrepresent products as Native American and the name "Navajo" is a registered trademark. Discussion on social media and the popularity of blogs such as Native Appropriations have amplified the debate. But until now it has barely registered in the UK.


Delhi, Paris and the Indian Air Force (IAF) agreed that a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush. Inking a government-to-government agreement to bypass the deadlocked negotiations for 126 Rafales, the IAF would get 36 fully built Rafales and, inevitably, buy 18 more as "options", settling for three Rafale squadrons instead of the six squadrons of medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) earlier visualised. Done away with was the tiresome prospect of building 108 of those 126 fighters in Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL). Instead, New Delhi followed the Mirage 2000 model of the 1980s, when an initial purchase of two squadrons in 1983 was followed up with a few more aircraft to make up a third squadron. The Mirage 2000 was never built in India, justjust as the IAF is currently doing for upgrading the Mirage 2000.

To justify handing out billions to a French company that is struggling to survive, rather than directing the money towards India's fledgling aerospace industry, the government has deployed the tired bogey of national security, citing "the critical operational necessity of fighter jets in India". Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had declared that these 36 Rafales would enter the IAF service within two years. Apparently, the government has a two-year threat assessment that requires two squadrons of Rafales so urgently that we must abandon a decade-long (and widely praised) selection process right at the point of culmination.

What remains unclear is how Mr Parrikar imagines these 36 Rafales would be delivered to the IAF within two years. Currently, Dassault is


than four years. On August 8, 2014, then defence minister, Arun Jaitley, told Parliament that Dassault would take three to four years to deliver 18 Rafales in flyaway condition. Mr Parrikar inexplicably promises twice that number in half the time.

Another troublesome question hanging over this handsome present to Dassault is: once Mr Modi decided to bypass the deadlocked August 2007 tender, why was Dassault awarded a "single-vendor" contract? The Eurofighter Typhoon had met every IAF requirement in its evaluation trials. At the very least, Eurofighter should have been invited to submit a parallel bid for 36 Typhoons in flyaway condition. Apart from the possibility of getting the Typhoon cheaper and more quickly than the Rafale, introducing competition into the bidding - as the defence procurement procedure explicitly recognises- would almost certainly have driven Rafale's bid lower.

Like in all defence deals, the market place is abuzz with speculation. Anil Ambani, who attended Mr Modi's meeting with defence chief executives in Paris, reportedly held a long discussion with Dassault chief, Eric Trappier. With the procurement of 36 Rafales not bound to HAL as the tender for 126 fighters was, how are new players positioning themselves to benefit from New Delhi's turnaround? The coming days will tell.


Reduced visual acuity in elderly people: the role of ergonomics and gerontechnology.
Gerontology is the scientific study of the ageing process and special problems of aged people. Ergonomics is an applied science for optimizing performance and productivity and reducing the risks of injury, discomfort and illness. Gerontechnology is concerned with fundamental and applied research on the complex interaction of elderly people with technological products and the built environment. It has the potential to improve the capability of people confronted by the challenges of ageing. We suggest that gerontechnology may have a particular role in relation to the reduction of visual acuity, and can improve the comfort and safety of older people.Wednesday, March 21, 2007

Broadway Bagels Featured At Enterprise Ireland's High Potential Start-Ups

Dungarvan Observer

Broadway Bagels, established by husband and wife team Des and Rosie Sheehan, produce authentic American style bagels. They returned to Ireland from the US three years ago and established a restaurant in Dungarvan. The business was moderately successful but they found that their American style products sold very well. They decided to close the restaurant and concentrate on producing bagels.

Bagels, while part of the bread family, are produced in a very different format. Authentic bagels are made of yeasted wheat dough which is boiled in water, or steamed, before it is baked. All the bagels currently available in the retail trade are produced in bakeries using a bread baking process, which does not deliver the dense,


chewy, doughy interior which is characteristic of good bagels. They contain preservatives which allow them to be sold on the ambient shelves.

Broadway sells its product frozen, in multiple packs of four or six bagels. The bagels do not contain preservatives and this distinguishing message is clearly spelled out on the pack.

Main customers include Tesco Ireland, Superquin, Musgrave SVC, Dunnes Stores and a number of catering companies.

Very recently the company expanded both its range of bagels and into allied products  American brownies.

The business plan for the next two years is primarily aimed at establishing the company's position in the Irish market and developing a small sales base in Northern Ireland and Britain.

North Liberty, Iowa

North Liberty IA Real Estate, North Libery area and Community Information

Located in the central portion of Eastern Iowa just minutes from Cedar Rapids, you will discover the charming city of North Liberty. North Liberty is one of the communities that can be found in Johnson County, and it is considered a part of the Iowa City Metropolitan Area.

History of North Liberty

The territory we know of as North Liberty today was founded in 1838 by two men named Alonzo Dennison and John Gaylor. At this time, the area was known by several names including North Bend, Big Bottom and Squash Bend. When the city was platted in 1857, it was given the name of North Liberty.

At the time of North Liberty's incorporation in 1913, it had around190 residents. However, with the construction of several businesses and schools in the city, the population grew to about 800 people by 1967 and over 2,000 people in 1980. Today there are more than 13,000 residents in North Liberty.

Parks and Recreation

One of the perks of choosing to become a North Libery home buyer is that there are just over a dozen gorgeous parks here where you can relax and have fun. One of the more popular parks in the city is Penn Meadows Park, which you can find on Penn Street. Amenities offered by this park include a playground, picnic shelters, several softball and baseball fields, tennis courts, and a walking trail.

Another favorite park among residents of North Libery real estate is Creekside Commons Park located on Vandello


these types of attractions include North Liberty Recreational Trail, Goose Lake, Indian Creek Nature Center and Cornerstone Park Nature Area. Do you like playing golf? Be sure to visit Quail Creek Golf Course and Brown Deer Golf Course.

Special Events in North Liberty

People who live in North Libery properties enjoy coming together at various times during the year to attend a variety of fun special events. A favorite event among residents is the Annual North Liberty Blues and BBQ. This celebration is held in July and features live music, children's activities, mouthwatering food and tasty drinks.

During the month of August, you will want to be sure and attend the Ralston Creek Fair. This is an annual event as well, and it highlights such festivities as arts and crafts vendors,History of Oktoberfest

Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12th October 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The fields have been named Theresienwiese ("Theresa's fields") in honor of the Crown Princess ever since, although the locals have since abbreviated the name simply to the "Wies'n".

Horse races in the presence of the Royal Family marked the close of the event that was celebrated as a festival for the whole of Bavaria. The decision to repeat the horse races in the subsequent year gave rise to the tradition of the Oktoberfest.

The Oktoberfest continues in 1811

In 1811 an added feature


to the horse races was the first Agricultural Show, designed to boost Bavarian agriculture. The horse races, which were the oldest and - at one time - the most popular event of the festival are no longer held today. But the Agricultural Show is still held every three years during the Oktoberfest on the southern part of the festival grounds.

In the first few decades the choice of amusements was sparse. The first carousel and two swings were set up in 1818. Visitors were able to quench their thirst at small beer stands which grew rapidly in number. In 1896 the beer stands were replaced by the first beer tents and halls set up by enterprising landlords with the backing of the breweries.

The remainder of the festival site was                      STATEMENT OF FACTS

        The Complainant, made outcry of sexual abuse to Avis Smith and Lisa

Holcomb (RR3 at 69-70; 179-182). The Complainant was age 13 at the time of trial

(RR3 at 104). While the Complainant refused to answer questions detailing the

abuse, she did testify that what she told the outcry witnesses was true (RR3 at 147-

148).

        On June 27, 2012, Avis Smith was a school counselor who received a call

regarding a student (the Complainant) who was stating she was ‘raped’ (RR3 at 67).

Ms. Smith went to the middle school and met with the


Complainant who appeared to

have been crying (RR3 at 68). The Complainant told her that her stepfather, Gabriel

Palacios, would touch her on her vagina (RR3 at 69-71). And, that he would put his

fingers in her vagina (id.).

        Lisa Holcomb, a forensic interviewer for the Children’s Assessment Center,

testified that the Complainant told her that the Appellant would place his penis in her

mouth (RR3 at 173-177; 182, 184, ). The Complainant told Ms. Holcomb that he

would place his penis in her mouth and she would choke but that he would hold her

hair to bring her head to him (RR3 at 182).

        The Complainant told a medical doctor that the Appellant put her mouth on

his lower half and         13
she was being punished for telling about the abuse (RR3 at 152). When the

Complainant was recalled by the Appellant on the defense case in chief, she testified

that she was not “100 per cent sure it was” the Appellant (RR4 at 187). The

Complainant inferred that there were many other men in the household who had

access to her (id.). When crossed by the State’s attorney, the Complainant admitted

that she had told the prosecutor earlier that she knew it was the Appellant because

she opened her eyes and saw him (RR4 at 191-193).

       Avis Smith testified that the Complainant appeared to have been crying when

she first saw her (RR3 at 68). The Complainant told her that her


that the Appellant

would come into her room and night and touch her body (RR3 at 69). When Ms.

Smith asked her where on her body, the Complainant pointed to her breasts and her

‘private area’ her vagina (RR3 at 69-70). The Complainant would not say the word

‘vagina’ but wrote in it down on a piece of paper and then immediately erased it (RR3

at 70). The Complainant told her that it would happen three times a week (RR3 at

74).

       Lisa Holcomb, a forensic interviewer, interviewed the Complainant later in the

day after the first out cry was made (RR3 at 171, 176, 188). She established that the

Complainant knew the difference between the truth and a lie (RR3 at 179). Ms.

Holcomb described the Complainant as very shy,very reluctant, and was crying

through most of the interview (id.). She described the Complainant as “closing her

                                          14
eyes” when she described the abuse and that she would hide her face in a pillow or

behind a pillow when talking about the abuse (id.). The Complainant told her that

her abuser was her stepfather, Gabriel Palacios, the Appellant (RR3 at 179-180). The

Complainant revealed that the abuse started when she was in 5th grade (RR3 at 180).

She told Ms. Holcomb that the Appellant would make her perform oral sex on his

"By The River of Babylon"
An Elegy for South Louisiana looks at the disappearing culture and environment in Southwest Louisiana: its marshlands and man's calamitous engineering mistakes, and the unique habitat that gave rise to the Cajun and Creole, music, culture and people left in its wake. With compelling footage and expert commentary from Bob Marshall, a local Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, among others, the film documents the facades and interiors of a good number of famed but decaying dance halls. Riveting performances by leading Zydeco proponents such as Clifton Chenier and Beau Jocque are juxtaposed by thorough and thoughtful explanations such as the rapacious dredging of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet through wetlands to give oil tankers direct access to the Gulfwhen in an early study the personal space of an unsuspecting participant was invaded by the experimenter, the victim responded by facing away and eventually by fleeing the uncomfortable scene ([@B14]). The same kind of behavior was later observed in a library, where people avoided seats that were within each other's personal domain ([@B11]), and in a shopping mall, where people kept a larger distance to strangers than to familiars ([@B9]). Besides having one's own space domain invaded by someone else, it can also be uncomfortable to invade other people's space. When participants were instructed to walk through the personal domain of two conversing people, the participants reported bad mood and showed avoidant non-verbal behavior ([@B12]). Even in virtual space people's behavior is guided by concerns of intimacy

Seidman, who advised Anita Hill to testify against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991, has also had a long history working with Democrats.

According to her bio at TSD Communications where she is a senior principal, Seidman “took a leave of absence in 2008 to work for President Obama’s general election campaign, serving as Vice President Joe Biden’s communications director. In the spring and summer of 2009, she assisted the White House in the successful confirmation effort for President Obama’s first nominee to the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor.”

During the Clinton Administration, she served as White House Deputy CommunicationsDirector, Counselor to the Chief of Staff, and Director of Scheduling and Advance for the President as well as later serving as Deputy Associate Attorney General in the Department of Justice.

Seidman “cut her teeth running attack ads against Robert Bork, a nomination that was eventually derailed. She then moved to Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy’s office, where she was instrumental in convincing Anita Hill to go public with her claim that Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her,” The Daily Caller reported.

Democrats may deny there is a plot to destroy Kavanaugh’s nomination – and his reputation in the process – but the audio clip reveals the real strategies as Seidman is now advising Ford in the political smear campaign.

Few Wisconsin voters understand what tax incremental financing (TIF) is, but since its introduction in 1975, it has proved to be one of the most powerful and effective urban development tools in Wisconsin’s history. On Wednesday members were privileged to hear a panel explain this poorly understood topic. Speakers were: Dan Thompson, former executive director of the Wisconsin League of Municipalities; Natalie Erdman, Director of the Madison Department of Planning, Community and Economic Development; and Mike Barry, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services for the Madison Metropolitan School District. The panel was artfully moderated by Steve Walters, with WisconsinEye.

Thompson reminded the audience that by the 1970s the suburbanization of homes and factories left huge swatches of once valuable central city land vacant and blighted. City leaders sought financial incentivesto revitalize downtowns and closed-in neighborhoods. This was why Governor Patrick Lucey encouraged the legislature to approve a TIF law for Wisconsin.

Erdman explained how the law works by using Tax Incremental District #36, known as the Capital East District. She noted how this sprawling area along East Washington Avenue from Blair Street to the Yahara River, long known for its car dealerships, had great potential. However, developers could not undertake projects there because squishy soil required expensive foundations and contamination from old factories had to be remediated. When the City created TID 36 its real estate was assessed at $75 million.

To realize the district’s extraordinary potential, the City developed a comprehensive plan. Projects included expensive high-rise mixed use projects such as The Constellation and the Galaxie, the renovation


Pat PorterWith an unremarkable personal best of 4:29 in the mile in high school, Porter was not heavily recruited to run in college. After graduating from Adams State College in 1982 with a degree in marketing, Porter became one of the most dominant U.S distance runners of the 1980s as a result of training under Joe Vigil. Porter was a two time U.S. Olympian, running the 10K at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games. However, he is best known for winning a record eight consecutive U.S.A. Cross Country Championships from 1982 to 1989. Porter also represented the U.S. at the World Cross Country Championships from 1982 to 1989. His best finish at the World Championships of Cross Country was 4th in 1984, followed by 6th, 7th, 9th and10th place finishes throughout his career. In 1983, he set the World Record for the road 10K at 27:31.8. In 1985, he won the silver medal at the World Cup of Athletics in Canberra, Australia, getting beaten at the tape by Ethiopia's Wodajo Bulti by 6/100 of a second. In 1998, Pat Porter played Finnish distance runner Lasse Viren in Without Limits, a biographical film about American distance legend Steve Prefontaine.

Alberto SalazarOriginally from Cuba, Salazar ran and won his first New York City Marathon in 1980. At the time it was the fastest marathon debut in history. In 1981, Salazar broke a 12-year old world marathon record at New York with a time of 2:08:13. His third and final New York City Marathon was in 1982, which would


be the last American victory in that race.

In 1982, Salazar beat Dick Beardsley at the 1982 Boston Marathon, a race that was considered the most memorable battle in the history of the Boston Marathon. From the beginning they ran together, each leading at different points throughout the course. The last mile was a battle for the finish with Salazar outkicking Beardsley for the victory.

Throughout his career, he set six U.S. records and one world record. After a long absence from the sport to focus on his health, Salazar returned in 1994 to compete as an ultra-marathoner. He won the world Comrades Marathon, a 53-mile race from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.

Max TreuxIn 1957, he won the NCAA cross country championship while running for USC and also set anAmerican record in the 5,000 meters. He won the 10,000 meters race in the National AAU championships in 1956 and 1959. His earned a place1956 U.S. Olympic team, but was unable to compete in the games because of a leg injury.

He continued to run as a member of the U. S. Air Force after graduation from USC. He was awarded a spot on the 1960 U. S. Olympic team and competed in the 10,000 meters in Rome. He was the only U.S. runner to qualify for the 10,000 finals where he raced against 19 of the world's top runners in the event. He finished sixth and set an American record. At 5-foot-5, Truex was the smallest athlete to ever represent the United States in track and field in


the Olympics. He was named Warsaw's Man of the Year in 1960 at the age of 24. He remains the youngest individual to ever win the award.

1991

Barry BrownHe was the fastest U.S. Masters marathoner for more than 15 years (2:15:15 at Twin Cities in 1984). Before that, he was an outstanding track and cross-country, and one of the founding figures in the Florida Track Club. He and his son Darren both ran sub-four-minute miles, a generation apart.

Lynn JenningsJennings was the first female on her high school's all-male track team. From her sophomore year until graduation, Jennings was ranked number one on her team and third overall in the league. She continued to run in college as part of the Princeton University track team, but struggled to keep upin school and stick to a rigorous practice schedule. She quit running several times out of frustration.

In 1984, she was inspired to resurrect her career while watching Joan Benoit Samuelson win the Olympic Gold medal in the first women's marathon to be included in the Olympic Games. She had trained alongside Samuelson as part of the Liberty Athletic Club, and Jennings had beaten her several times in competitive races. At that moment, She recommitted herself to the sport and trained her way into the 1988 Olympic Games, where she finished sixth in the 10,000 meter event.

Jennings then went on to win nine U.S. cross-country championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 10,000 meters in Barcelona in 1992. She holds the American record for the 10,000 meters, the


American indoor record for the 5,000 and 3,000 meters, and the American road records in the 5K and 10K distances.

Fred LebowAn avid road runner, Lebow founded the the New York City Marathon. He transformed the marathong from a small race with 55 finishers in 1970 to one of the largest marathons in the world with over 36,544 finishers in 2004.

He ran in the inaugural NYC marathon in 1970, finishing 45th out of 55 runners with a time of 4:12:09. In 1992, he ran his last NYC Marathon, in celebration of his 60th birthday, after being diagnosed with brain cancer in early 1990. His finished in 5:32:35.During his career Lebow completed 69 marathons in 30 countries. In addition to the NYC Marathon, he also organized the Empire State BuildingRun Up, the Fifth Avenue Mile, and the Crazy Legs Mini Marathon, the first strictly women's race. Lebow also served as president of the New York Road Runners Club for twenty years.

1992

Jeff Darman He was active as a high school Cross Country runner, After high school graduation, Jeff stopped running and became a three pack a day smoker until he neared 30 and decided a lifestyle change was needed. So he got involved with the DC Road Runners Club and was inspired by the DCRR president of the time, Gar Williams, to get more involved with the RRCA. When Darman got involved with the RRCA they were battling with the AAU over athletes? rights. Darman lobbied and testified before Congress on The Amateur Sports Act, groundbreaking legislation that


changed the landscape for professional and amateur running in the United States.

Darman served at the RRCA president from 1977-1979 and during that time he was actively involved in the engaging women in leadership roles in running and working to provide more running opportunities for women.

Darman has directed prestigious races including the Credit Union Cherry Blossom, Nike Women?s Race, and he still directs the ACLI Capital Challenge. Darmans PR and marketing clients have included; Avon, Moving Comfort, Nike, Running Times, Perrier and many more. Darman has also served on many committees and boards of running organizations including Professional Road Racing Organization (PRRO) and USA Track & Field (board member).

Jeff GallowayThe author of more than a dozen books on running, he ran the 10,000 M in the 1972 Olympics andwas also an alternate on the marathon team. He runs the Galloway Marathon Program, which takes place in more than 40 cities. This low-mileage program consists of two 30- to 45-minute runs per week and a longer run/walk on the weekend using Jeff's run-walk-run method, putting the marathon within reach of almost everyone. He has coached more than 200,000 runners and walkers to their goals.

An All-American runner at Wesleyan University who earned an M.S. in social studies from Florida State University, Galloway has developed clinics to NASA astronauts, Vice President Al Gore and a variety of North American corporations. He also served on the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, designing a heritage program to bring the Olympic excitement and fitness into area schools. As a race organizer,


Jeff initiated the Kaiser Permanente Corporate Run/Walk, one of the largest corporate fitness events in the country with a registration of more than 20,000 participants.

Ted HaydonHe was a former Olympic coach who founded the University of Chicago Track Club. Mr. Haydon, who was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, was a coach with the U.S. Olympic teams in 1968 and 1972, and for the Pan American Games in 1963 and 1979.

Jack BachelerAfter running at Miami of Ohio, he ran for the Florida TC. He was also a member of the 1968 and 1972 Olympic teams. Bacheler was AAU 10K champion in 1969 and 1970 and the cross country champion in 1969.

Norm GreenHe ran a 2:25:51 marathon at age 52 and a 2:27:42 at age55, making him the oldest American to break 2:30. He also clocked 32:09 for 10K, 1:05:50 for 20K, and 1:09:30 for a half marathon during his 50s. Green was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1995. He returned to racing in 1997 after treatment, but did very little racing over the next seven years because of injuries.

Mary Decker SlaneyAffectionately known as ?Little Mary Decker" because she wore pigtails and braces when at 14-years-old and 89 lbs. she set her first American record. Following a heartbreaking Olympics in 1984, the now Mary Slaney persevered in 1985, establishing a world record in the mile and setting five American records, thus becoming the first athlete to hold every American record from 800 meters to 10,000 meters; a range of excellence unparalleled in


the history of track and field. She culminated her undefeated season by capturing the IAAF Grand Prix as the top female athlete in the world.

1994

Julie BrownAt the age of eighteen, Julie Brown held the national high school record in the 800-meter distance. She was the first woman to earn an athletic scholarship to UCLA for cross-country running. While at UCLA she earned a Broderick Award for Outstanding Collegiate Athlete in Track and Field and cross-country. She went on to pursue a post-collegiate career in running. In 1975, Brown was crowned the world's cross-country champion. She went on to try out for the United States Olympic team in the 1980 squad, but was unable to compete when the United States boycotted the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, Russia.

She wonthe 1983 Avon International Marathon in Los Angeles with a personal best of 2:26:26. The Los Angeles Marathon proved to be a great stepping stone in Brown's pursuit of her Olympic dream because a year later, in 1984, she again became a United States Olympic Team member this time as a marathon runner in the inaugural women's marathon at the Los Angeles Games. Unfortunately, she struggled with mononucleosis during the competition and finished 32nd.

Brown retired from running in the late '80s to pursue a career in law. Her running accomplishments include an IAAF world cross-country championship; former world and American records in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters; and thirteen national titles in track and field and cross-country. In addition, she is ranked the second all-time USA marathon runner.

BurfootAlthough he was the 1968 Boston Marathon Champion, Burfoot ran his fastest marathon in 1968 at Fukuoka, Japan, with a time of 2:14:28.8. He attended Weslyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where he ran cross-country. After winning Boston, he turned his attention toward the 1968 Olympics, but suffered a calf injury that ended his Olympic hopes.

Marion IrvineIrvine qualified for the Olympic trials by running a 2:51:01 at age 54, in a run that forever changed perceptions about athletic capabilities of older women. Dubbed "The Flying Nun," she was already garnering national attention for records such as the first sub-20 minute 5-kilometer, sub-38 minute 10K, and sub-three hour marathon (2:59:55) by a woman over 50.

In the weeks leading up to the Trials, Irvine appeared on "Today" and "Good Morning, America"national talk shows and was featured in "Sports Illustrated" and "Time" magazines. On May 12, 1984, Irvine ran a brilliant 2:52:02, just missing the Olympics but besting many far younger competitors.

She continued to set records in the 55-59 and 60-64 age divisions. Although Larkspur's Shirley Matson, 11 years younger, would ultimately take down all these records, Irvine's marks remain high on the national list.

1995

Ann TrasonShe broke twenty world records during her career as an ultramarathoner. The rugged Western States 100 Mile is the biggest and most well known ultra in the USA. The event is stamped with her accomplishments. For ten consecutive years she won the women's division, and in two of those races she finished second overall. As if that were not challenge and accomplishment enough, she


twice dominated the Western States, with some 30,000 feet of elevation change, snow at the high altitude start and baking furnace like conditions in the canyons, less than two weeks after winning the prestigious 56-mile Comrades ultra in South Africa.

George YoungHe was the first American to compete in running events at four Olympic Games. In his first three Olympics ('60, '64, '68), George competed in the steeplechase, winning a bronze medal in Mexico City. He also ran in the Olympic marathon in 1968. In 1972, he competed at 5000m. In total, his competitive career spanned an impressive 25 years. George demonstrated his versatility by setting American Records at each track distance he contested. He broke the steeplechase record three times, and the 2 mile and 5000m once each.George established a Mt. SAC steeplechase meet record each time he contested the event. In 1972, in preparation for the Olympic Trials, he moved up to 5000m at Mt. SAC, and won there as well.

1996

Ed EyestoneHe earned 10 All-American honors and four NCAA championships at BYU. Eyestone then went on to work as the head cross-country and assistant track and field coach for BYU 15 years later.During that his senior year Eyestone set the NCAA 10,000 meter record that stood for almost 20 years until Dathan Ritzenhein broke it in 2004. After College, he ran the marathon in the 1988 and 1992 Olympics with a best finish of 13th. He coached at Weber State before returning to BYU where he has coached two national champions.Jerry KokeshHe is the


Media/Marketing Manager for the US Biathlon Association. Kokesh has worked in sports administration since 1973 and in various capacities for the U.S. Biathlon Team since 1988. He was President of the Road Runners Club of America for six years and a member of the RRCA board for 19 years.

Pete PfitzingerPfitzinger ran a 9:33 two-mile at the age of 15, he knew that distance running was a pursuit worthy of a lifetime of personal dedication. As he rose through the national and international marathoning ranks in the 1980's, he began coaching other runners. He competed in two Olympic marathons before returning to college to study exercise physiology in order to better understand the subtleties of bodily adaptations to training.

1997

Kim JonesOne of two Americans to finish five marathons in less2 hours, 30 minutes, she has 17 finishes less than 2:33. Highlights of Jones's career include three top three finishes in Boston (second in 1991 and '93), runner-ups in New York ('89) and Berlin ('91) and still-standing records in the 30K (1:47:41) and 20-mile (1:55:29).

Jon SinclairHis career as a runner is characterized by consistency and longevity, with more wins and placings than any other male runner in modern road racing history. In addition to being the all time cumulative men's point leader in the Runner's World rankings, he is a former USA National Cross Country and 10,000 meter champion and an Olympic Trials finalist in the 5000 meters. He has represented the U.S. on numerous national teams.

1998

Benji DurdenDurden established himself during the early '80s at the height of


the running boom. He ran the marathon in the 1980 Summer Olympics and placed second.With a personal record of 2:09:57, Durden recorded 25 sub-2:20 marathons in less than a decade. He ranked among the top ten U.S. marathoners six straight years, reaching seventh in the world in 1982. He went on to coach elite runners.

Doug KurtisHe was one the most prolific and ubiquitous marathoners in the 80?s and 90?s. Piling up 76 sub 2:20?s and 40 victories, several as a master runner. His successes crossed almost every continent, including victories in Bangkok and Barcelona as well as at home (six straight in Detroit).

His running career didn?t end on the roads. As an event director, he jump started three major races in Detroit. The Free Press Marathon, Turkey Trotand Corktown races have now tripled their attendance under his guidance. During seven of those years he also found the time to write a weekly running column, coach three athletes who qualified for the Olympic Marathon Trials and still volunteered support on several local running clubs.

1999

Gerry LindgrenIn 1964, in his senior year of high school, Lindgren ran 5000 meters in 13 minutes and 44 seconds, setting a U.S. high school record for the distance that would remain unbroken for 40 years. Among his other records he established that year was his time of 8:40.0 in an indoor 2-mile (3.2 km) race that shattered the previous U.S. national high school mark. Over forty years later this remains the fastest U.S. schoolboy 2-mile (3.2 km) time ever run indoors (and


the third fastest time indoors or outdoors).

In 1964, he won the 10,000 meter event in the US-USSR Track Meet in Los Angeles.He finished ninth in the 10,000 meters in the 1964 Summer Olympics after having sprained an ankle during training. Four years later, he tried to make the 1968 Olympic team but finished 5th in the 10,000 meters and 4th in the 5,000 meters in the Olympic Trials, just missing the team at both distances.

Lindgren also set co-World record in the 6-mile (9.7 km) of 27:11.6. While at Washington State, Lindgren won 11 NCAA Championships, losing only to Jim Ryun in the 1968 indoor two-mile race.He was one of only two people to ever defeat Steve Prefontaine in an NCAA Championship. He competed sporadically after graduating from collegebut without any notable success. He continues to run regularly, active in the Hawaii running community. He coached the University of Hawaii's women's track and field team 2005-2007.Tony SandovalHe is best known for winning the 1980 U.S. Olympic Marathon trials, Sandoval was among 466 Americans in 24 sports unable to compete in that
year's Summer Olympics because the United States led a boycott of the
Moscow Games to protest Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. He placed fourth with a 2:14:58 in the 1976 trials in his first attempt to make the Olympic team. He place 15th in the Boston Marathon in 1979. He and Jeff Wells tied with a 2:10:20 later in 1979. He failed to make the Olympic Team in 1984 and 1988 before popping an Achilles tendon at mile

South Korea’s spy agency believes that Kim Jong Nam was assassinated this week in a Malaysian airport as part of a five-year plot by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to kill a brother he reportedly never met. If this is right, the motive likely has more to do with their shared bloodlines — and that volcano — than any specific transgression.

Here’s why:

The volcano — Mount Paektu, which is topped with a deep crater lake — is at the heart of North Korea’s foundation myth, and is used to legitimize the Kim family’s three generations of power. Paektu is


completed his consolidation of power and that taking out Kim Jong Nam would be a finishing touch to eliminate a potential source of trouble,” said Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korea expert at Seoul’s Dongguk University.

Korean history is replete with bloody royal power struggles. And when the disgruntled elite tried to overthrow kings, they often used estranged princes or others with royal blood as figureheads to rally support.

Past rulers on the Korean Peninsula also “legitimated themselves and their offspring by virtue of their ‘pure bloodline,’” Bruce Cumings, a historian and Korea expert, has written.

The Kims of North Korea have carried on this veneration of royal blood, and extended it to the volcano associated with the country’s foundation.

It countered the Arab League's famous "Three No's" that followed the 1967 Mideast war, when Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt and the Golan Heights from Syria. At a summit in Khartoum, Sudan, the Arab countries passed a resolution saying no peace, recognition or negotiations with Israel.

The 2002 initiative, endorsed by the Arab League and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation, offered Israel normalized relations in exchange for a full withdrawal from territories captured in 1967. However, it was overshadowed by Israeli-Palestinian fighting and was greeted with skepticism by Israel.

Now the initiative has gained new life thanks to interest from Kerry, who has been trying to restart peace talks between Israeli and the Palestinians, frozen since2008. Palestinians refuse to talk unless Israel stops construction of settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Netanyahu calls for talks with no preconditions.

In a significant breakthrough, Kerry last month persuaded the Arab League not only to renew its peace initiative, but to sweeten it by saying the final borders between Israel and a future Palestine could be modified from the 1967 lines through agreed land swaps. This small but significant amendment could open the way for Israel to keep some of its Jewish settlements as well as holy sites in east Jerusalem.

Netanyahu's chief peace negotiator, Tzipi Livni, welcomed the gesture as "good news," but the prime minister has said little. In veiled criticism, Netanyahu declared that the conflict with the Palestinians wasn't "territorial," but instead was


swaps, a formula similar to the present Arab initiative, did not result in peace accords, partly because of the other stumbling blocks. Olmert says he made great progress.

In contrast, U.S. officials have noted that once borders are agreed on, the settlement issue would be resolved automatically. Israel unilaterally removed 21 settlements from Gaza when it withdrew from the area in 2005, as well as all its settlements in Sinai when it returned the territory to Egypt under a 1979 peace treaty.

Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev, said the Israeli leader was keeping quiet to avoid jeopardizing Kerry's efforts to restart talks. Kerry has been shuttling between the sides in recent weeks and is expected to return to the region later this month.

"If we are going to achieve ... a returnwar, or engaging other Arab countries at a time of regional turmoil.

Deputy Israeli Defense Minister Danny Danon, a senior member of Netanyahu's Likud Party, said he did not consider the Arab peace initiative a significant achievement.

"Going back to the 1967 lines and dividing Jerusalem is not the will of a majority of Israelis," Danon said.

In his comments to the AP, Olmert stopped short of criticizing Netanyahu, though in a TV interview earlier this month he called on the Israeli leader to "stop making excuses" and seize the initiative.

Given the tumult in the region, "it is important ... especially now to connect with moderate forces to promote the peace process," Olmert told the AP.

Other critics used far tougher language. Erel Margalit, a lawmaker with the opposition Labor Party, said


Project Summary/Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is an important human pathogen and the most common cause of bacterial meningitis, pneumonia and otitis media. The ability to take up and incorporate foreign DNA has allowed pneumococcus to resist attempts at clearance by providing a resource for genetic adaptation. Genome analysis has demonstrated an enormous amount of genetic diversity largely derived from recombination with DNA from other streptococci. The competence state in pneumococcus is regulated by a quorum sensing system controlled by the com system which drives the production of a large number of genes including those involved in DNA uptake and recombination. Competent pneumococci can lyse non-competent members of the population releasing their DNA. Released DNA is taken up by competent cells and can serve as a source of newAmazon's Massachusetts strategy in the past could be described with two words: free shipping. When the tech giant has acquired local companies, it has shipped the products and people out to Seattle. And when it has hired local talent, it has provided one-way tickets to Washington State, along with other lucrative relocation benefits.

That strategy will change in 2012, when Amazon opens up its first outpost in the Boston area. The company has been communicating with software developers who've previously been reluctant to head west, informing them that a Boston office will be open in February. And Amazon has also posted four public job listings for PhD-level research scientists who will work on "a variety of technical initiatives" in Boston. The research positions are apparently under the umbrella of


Amazon's a2z Development Center, a subsidiary that works on software to "enable great retailing experiences."

For Amazon, a Boston office actually means Cambridge: the company has been hunting for about 40,000 square feet in the Kendall Square area, according to two people with knowledge of the search, both of whom requested anonymity. That's enough space to ultimately house anywhere from 100 to 150 employees. Amazon has been trying to keep things quiet, asking to be described only as "confidential company" in dealings with prospective landlords.

Amazon seems to be on the fast-track to set up in Cambridge; while the target date for opening is February 1st, members of Amazon's engineering team will be in town the week of January 23rd to conduct interviews. On the software development side, Amazon islooking for engineering managers, software engineers, and quality assurance engineers who will work on Amazon's digital products team, which handles services like Amazon's MP3 store, online video delivery, Kindle e-books, and Amazon's Cloud Drive storage service.

In the late 1990s, Amazon acquired two Cambridge companies, PlanetAll and Exchange.com, but never set up a local office. More recently, it has recruited tech executives like Raju Matta from local companies  Matta had been a senior director of engineering at TripAdvisor  and moved them out to Amazon's headquarters.

"I'm intrigued by the idea of a Cambridge office," says Jim Savage, the former CEO of PlanetAll who now works as a venture capitalist at Longworth Venture Partners. "Google has quite a big presence here, but from a consumer perspective, there's no bigger

Detail of the Coffin of Llady Diefiawet

Illustration

The surfaces of the coffin of Diefiawet were covered with painted scenes and hieroglyphic texts to assist and protect her passage into the afterlife. Isis and Nephthys, the sisters of Osiris, protect the head and the foot of the mummy, and goddess Nut spreads her winged arms over the breasts. A series of gods arranged along the sides of the case provide additional divine protection. The inscription in the center of the lid begins with the parentage of Diefiawet, who was the daughter of a temple doorkeeper. They continue with the full text of Chapter 89 of the Book of the Dead, a magical spell to ensure that the Ba (spirit) should be united with the body after death. From Egypt; preciseprovenance of excavation is unknown. The coffin dates back to the 26th Dynasty, 664-525 BCE, while the mummy dates back to the Ptolemaic period, 305-30 BCE.

TORONTO -- A man accused of killing a senior citizen by shoving him in front of a Toronto subway train had his case put over for a month during a brief video court appearance on Tuesday.

John Reszetnik, 57, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 73-year-old Yosuke Hayahara.

Crown attorney Sean Doyle told the court his office has turned some evidence over to the defence and expects to have the rest of it submitted before the case returns to court on Aug. 14.

"Substantial disclosure is being reviewed now," Doyle said. "We expect it to be disclosed in the next week or so."

Reszetnik, unshaven and wearing a white sleeveless shirt, appeared by video from a Toronto jail, and spoke briefly with his lawyer.

Police say Hayahara was hit anda daily weather report I've decided to
move the cycling report to a pane in the top right that I'll update even when not posting.

DFunk has followed DBlog to post some impressive shots from the art deco interior of the
Guardian building - one of the US's tallest brick structures. To stay on theme then, here's a shot
of a Mural from inside Detroit's equally impressive Public Library. Built in 1915 this building
exemplifies the hope and pride of a rapidly growing city.

Interestingly in the transport mural you can see depicted the cycle industry out
of which the local motor industry developed. In the period depicted these were both on a par with
equestrian transport. Whilst nowhere near as famous as the murals in the DIA, these add
much to the splendid setting of the


it'.

This reminds me
of a day about 8 months ago when after a thaw and a freeze there was a lot of ice on
the roads. Crossing Jefferson by the Ren I saw car come out from the underpass at speed.
Given the dim underpass and bright daylight he didn't immediately spot that the lights were
against him and there were people on the crosswalk. When he did he was perhaps 150 yards
from the lights and he slammed on his breaks. And slid. And slid some more. All four
wheels locked solid and the car slowly going sideways on him. He must have gone the full
distance with locked wheels and just managed to slide up to the lights.

Today things were
similar but due to snow rather than ice. I saw a white Ford Vanto the Points
is along Forest. No question. More direct than jefferson, not the traffic hassle of Mack, the
whole street is one smooth tarmac run, very unusual for the eastside. Temperature the whole time
was around -4C (24F) and it was a quick run. At the Chrysler Plant you have to switch down onto
Mack but by that point Mack is wide enough not to be the drag-strip it is further west. The only
incident was in GPP where a female SUV driver decided to play the "I can drive within a millimeter of you"
game on a clear street. Moron.

B3 on Mack at the border of GP and GPP is a great place, always lots of kit to look through and the folk are friendly enough. In a way
I prefer Cycle and


the wheel. After that it slowly leveled out.

But man that was tough! I got to the Block Brewery (once again ahead of S who had to detour around
the project). As soon as S got there he saw the mud, the water, the cement splattered everywhere
and made some comment about perhaps buying a jeep. Yeh... one day. Anyhow the BB was great as always,
good beer, good music, nice folks.

After 18 months in Detroit I finally got around to facing the Spanish Inquisition that is

Windsor until now. But I have to say ... Detroit sure looks prety from over here. The

The PhotoManiacs over at DetroitFunk have some excellent pages on the localcomponent, and a red blood cell component from a volume of whole blood, the white blood cells being subsequently removed by filtration from the platelet component and the red blood cell component.
An apparatus for processing blood components is known from document WO 03/089027. This apparatus comprises a centrifuge adapted to cooperate with an annular separation bag connected to at least one product bag, e.g. a platelet component bag. The centrifuge includes: a rotor having a turntable for supporting the separation bag, and a central compartment for containing the product bag connected to the separation bag; and a squeezing system for squeezing the separation bag and causing the transfer of a separated component (e.g. platelets suspended in plasma) from the separation bag into the product bag. With this apparatus,


rotor at least two first satellite bags connected to the at least two separation bags respectively; rotating the rotor at a sedimentation speed at which the at least a first and a second components sediment in each of the separation bags; transferring at least one fraction of a first separated component from the at least two separation bags into the at least two first satellite bags connected thereto respectively; detecting a characteristic of a component at a first determined location in each separation bag; and stopping transferring the at least one fraction of the first component from each separation bag into the first satellite bag connected thereto, upon detection of the characteristic of a component at the first determined location.
Other features of the method according to the inventionare as follows: transferring at least one fraction of the first separated component into the at least two first satellite bags comprises squeezing the at least two separation bags within the at least two separation cells so as to cause a transfer of at least one fraction of the first component into the at least two first satellite bags connected thereto.
The method further comprises changing a speed of the rotor after detecting a characteristic of a component at the first determined location in the separation bag in which such detection occurs last.
The method further comprises changing a speed of the rotor after a predetermined period of time after detecting a characteristic of a component at the first determined location in one of the at least two separation bags.
