According to another embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device also comprises an oven cavity and a heating chamber. The air impingement assembly is at least partly disposed in the oven cavity, and the first heater is disposed in the heating chamber. The means for delivering preferably provides a circulating air stream that is heated by the heating means. The circulating air stream is divided into a first path that includes the lower columns of air and into a second path that includes theupper columns of air. The first heater boosts the temperature of the circulating air stream in the first path above the temperature of the circulating air stream in the second path.
Preferably, the first heater is located either between the air impingement assembly and the bottom of the food product, inside the air impingement assembly or between the air impingement assembly and the heating means.
The means for delivering also comprises a fan assembly disposed in the circulating air stream and the first heater is disposed in the fan assembly. The means for delivering also preferably comprises a divider that divides the circulating air stream into the first and second paths. The first heater is disposed relative to the divider to boost the temperature of the circulating air stream in


of Roscosmos, specializing in the development of small sаtellites for military purposes, including what likely is a new Russian co-orbital anti-satellite system. History Plenty of evidence has emerged from open-source intelligence that CNIIHM has become one of the most important satellite builders outside the structure of Roscosmos, specializing in the development of small sаtellites for military purposes, including what likely is a new Russian co-orbital anti-satellite system. CNIIHM traces back its roots to 1894 with the establishment of a chemical laboratory in St. Petersburg to, among other things, study the possible uses of a new type of smokeless gunpowder invented by Dmitri Mendeleyev, the Russian chemist best known for creating the periodic table of elements. In 1931, the laboratory moved to Moscow and acquired the status of amilitary space program by producing explosive charges for the co-orbital anti-satellite system known as IS (“Satellite Destroyer”). The explosive charges were mounted on short booms extending from either side of the interceptor satellite. The Soviet Union launched about 20 interceptors under the IS program between 1968 and 1982, with several of them successfully destroying specially launched target satellites. The Soviet-era IS interceptor satellite. One of the two explosive charges is in position 5. (credit: A. Lobanov, I. Afanasyev, A. Suvorov, A. Novichkov) Like many other Russian companies, CNIIHM went through hard times in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union, switching mostly to civilian production. A new chapter in the institute’s history began in 2005, when CNIIHM became subordinate to the Federal Service for Technical and


project to build small satellites designed to inspect other satellites in space. So far Russia has launched four such satellites. The first three (announced as Cosmos-2491, 2499 and 2504) were launched as co-passengers with trios of communications satellites on the Rokot booster on December 25, 2013; May 23, 2014; and March 31, 2015. The last two of those rendezvoused with the Briz-KM upper stage that deployed them into orbit. A fourth was launched attached to a satellite called Cosmos-2519 that was launched on a Soyuz-2-1v rocket on June 23, 2017. Cosmos-2519, which has the military index 14F150, is a product of the NPO Lavochkin design bureau, best known as a manufacturer of scientific satellites and deep space probes. It may be used for Earth remote sensing and/or long-distanceobservations of other objects in orbit. The inspector satellite was released from the parent satellite on August 23, 2017 and received the name Cosmos-2521. It subsequently performed repeated rendezvous and proximity operations with Cosmos-2519 until April 2018. Soyuz-2-1v rocket carrying Cosmos-2519/2521/2523. (credit: Russian Ministry of Defense) Cosmos-2521 itself released a subsatellite (Cosmos-2523) on October 30, 2017, which the Russian Ministry of Defense said would “diagnose the technical condition of a Russian satellite” and “determine if it could be returned to working order.” However, shortly after separating from Cosmos-2521, it lowered its perigee by about 100 kilometers and has not come close to any other satellites since, suggesting it may not have been used for its officially stated goal.

(NPK KBM), based in Kolomna just south of Moscow. NPK KBM is a weapon manufacturer that, among other things, produces tactical ballistic missiles, anti-tank missiles, and man-portable air defense systems. It is not known to have worked on any space projects in the past, which makes its leading role in this project somewhat puzzling. CNIIHM got involved in the project when it received a contract from NPK KBM on September 30, 2011, exactly the same day it was awarded the contract for Nivelir. While NPK KBM seems to fulfill a coordinating role in the project, CNIIHM is likely to be the system integrator. Another player in the project is the Nudelman Precision Engineering Design Bureau (KB Tochmash). The company’s core business areas are tactical surface-to-air missiles, anti-tank weapons,infrared, optical, and ultraviolet sensors need to track fast moving objects in space. The company has also co-operated with the Scientific Research Institute of Television (NIIT) in St. Petersburg to build a star tracker for the project. This contains several foreign-built components, including a Pentax C2514M lens. There is evidence that Burevestnik uses the same monopropellant propulsion system as Nivelir, raising the possibility that the two programs share a common satellite bus. A further indication of a close link between Nivelir and Burevestnik is the construction of what appears to be a joint ground control center (named “1009/5”) for the two projects in Noginsk-9 (also known as Dubrovo), about 60 kilometers east of Moscow. Noginsk-9 is home to the 821st Main Space Intelligence Center, the headquarters of Russia’s


is their inherent immunity from jamming, detection and external interference as well as their ability to perform unambiguous range measurements. One of the papers analyzes the propagation of UWB radar signals through the ionosphere during range measurements at distances of 600 to 6,000 meters. All this suggests that Numizmat will carry a system to emit hard-to-detect UWB signals with the purpose of measuring the distance to relatively nearby objects in space. Judging from the available articles, NIIIS’s research on space-based UWB radars goes back to at least 2012, well before the Numizmat project started. One of the articles, published in 2014, mentions an experimental UWB radar needed to study the possible distortion of UWB radar signals by the atmosphere and ionosphere.

It's only June, but I'm excited about the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yeah…everybody here in Arizona knows that I am a diehard Minnesota Twins fan, but I am also a fan of baseball being played the right way and D-backs manager Kirk Gibson has this team going in the right direction.

I'll admit, I was only eight years old when Gibson hit his game-winning home run against the A's in the 1988 World Series, but when I moved to Arizona and found out he was with the Diamondbacks, I immediately read up on him.

While doing my research I read that when he signed with the Dodgers, there was a very publicized blow-up when pitcher Jesse Orosco put black


shoe polish inside his hat during spring training as a prank. Gibson then proceeded to openly rip the team for its unprofessionalism after they had finished fourth in the National League West the year before.

To me, this story didn't sound too far off from the Kirk Gibson we came to know at Diamondbacks spring training this year. Gibson quickly established rules for the clubhouse that were both fair and clear. No talking on cell phones in the clubhouse, texting is allowed, but only up until 30 minutes before game time. Gibson also made a rule that there are no toys or remote control airplanes allowed in the clubhouse or on the field before games.

Gibson's approach since being named interim and full-time manager has always been the same….respect thewhen to pick them up.

The Diamondbacks are currently a half game out of first place in the NL West and they're 31-26. More than half of their wins (17), they've come from behind…that number leads the Majors.

The stats and numbers are a sign of the positive steps this club has taken but, really, it's Kirk Gibson's style that keeps me glued to the TV for all 27 outs.

It's been a sad week for me and a sad week for all baseball fans with the passing of Harmon Clayton Killebrew. Just four days after he decided to stop treatment and end his fight with esophageal cancer, Killebrew died at his home in Scottsdale surrounded by his family on May 17th,


2011 at the age of 74.

Harmon Killebrew's legacy was not limited to the baseball field. He was one of the most humble, kind and sincere individuals I've had the privilege of meeting.

Harmon Killebrew was the kind of role model that everyone needs today. When I say everyone…I mean everyone…not just the 8-year-old playing baseball in his backyard but also teenagers, adults and other pro-athletes. He lived his life to the fullest by treating EVERYONE from Single-A players to famous Major Leaguers to kids and adults in autograph lines with the utmost respect and genuine care.

The modern era of pro-sports is filled with lots of misbehaving, arrogant, overpaid athletes and Killebrew's life should serve as a reminder that stardom is not a right but a privilege.

When Harmon Killebrew diedwhile they simultaneously tweet about their lavish vacations, their expensive purchases and their sponsorships.

Sometimes it's tough for me to take their emotions and their actions genuinely. I find myself thinking there's an ulterior motive or public relations stunt involved.

But Tuesday was a good day. Tuesday I was brought back to the good in sports while watching Derrick Rose's MVP acceptance speech. Rose made me realize that humanity still exists in pro sports. He showed us a personal, genuine side of himself that doesn't translate in an Adidas commercial or an NBA Playoff promo. He thanked his mom and he did it while fighting off tears.

"And last, I want to thank my mom, Brenda Rose," the 22-year-old MVP said. "My heart, the reason I play the way I play,

If anything, Khalid Sheik Mohammed — in new writings from his Guantanamo Bay cell — and Sulaiman Abu Ghaith — on trial in Manhattan federal court — are using courtroom theater, intentionally or not, to press their case that the United States is such a bully in the Middle East that even killing civilians was justified.

"The entire trial is frozen in time if you think about it," said Karen J. Greenberg, the director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law who was one of the


few people in the Manhattan courtroom Thursday when the surprise announcement was made that Abu Ghaith would testify. "Because the trial is focused on the moment of 9/11, it makes everybody seem like they're frozen in the time of 9/11."

Mohammed's words emerged a week ago in a written statement responding to more than 400 questions from defense lawyers in their failed bid to win the court's permission to have him testify on behalf of Abu Ghaith, who is on trial on charges that he conspired to kill Americans and aid al-Qaida after the terrorist attacks.

Mohammed, who was captured in Pakistan in 2003, boasted that Afghanistan under Taliban leadership "was the first Islamic state that treated all Muslim men equally, whether they be Chinese, Indian, Chechnyan, Arabs, or Westerners."There was no mention of women.

He claimed the U.S. closed some embassies and canceled some joint military maneuvers in Jordan because of publicity he orchestrated while in charge of al-Qaida's media wing, including the release of some clips from bin Laden speeches, the publication of a video called "Destroying the Destroyer" and the appearance of pictures of al-Qaida military training camps.

"All this was not in vain because, while the enemy has capabilities that we do not possess, we have the same mental capacity Allah gave to all; and while they use their muscles, we use our minds," Mohammed wrote.

Story continues

Mohammed remains devoted to bin Laden, killed in a 2011 U.S. attack, saying the al-Qaida founder was "very wise in every order he gave us." And he was especially


proud of what he claimed was al-Qaida's cost to the American economy.

He said "every state of emergency declared and change of alert level" on the military and civilian sectors cost the country millions of dollars and the wars waged by the U.S. after Sept. 11 have cost it about a trillion dollars, "the bleeding of which continues to this day."

A judge ruled jurors at Abu Ghaith's ongoing trial won't see Mohammed's statement. But they received a lesson in jihad from the defendant, who took the unusual step of taking the witness stand and — rather than try to distance himself from al-Qaida — described in detail how bin Laden summoned him to his mountain hideout in the hours after the Sept. 11 attacks and enlisted him as theterror group's mouthpiece.

Abu Ghaith, who was captured in Jordan last year, showed none of the arrogance and air of invincibility that he displayed on videos distributed worldwide after the attacks when he waved his hands through the air and threatened America as he posed with bin Laden, current al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and the organization's then-military leader on Sept. 12, 2001. But he also didn't back down from his support of bin Laden immediately after the attacks or his motivation, saying he sought "to deliver a message, a message I believed in."

And he said the message justifying the attacks came from the premise that "oppression, if it befalls any nation, any people, any category of people, that category must revolt at some point. ... And what happened was


Cohen that Abu Ghaith would testify "sandbagging of the worst sort," saying the lawyer had told prosecutors his client would not testify.

When he cross-examined Abu Ghaith, who spoke through an Arabic translator, there was anger and disbelief in his voice as he elicited from the defendant that he left behind his pregnant wife and seven children to go to Afghanistan four days before the Sept. 11 attacks because he knew al-Qaida was about to do "something big." And then the prosecutor noted that he traveled several hours to meet bin Laden on Sept. 11, when the al-Qaida leader summoned him.

"Despite knowing that he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, you met with him to be polite, correct?" Ferrara asked.

A love-sick beaver has felled trees and left a trail of destruction in a desperate effort to find a mate.

A massive search operation was launched today to track down the rodent, who escaped from his enclosure in a Devon farm by climbing over an electric fence. He is now over 20 miles away, across the county border in Cornwall.

The beaver has gnawed his way through a swathe of trees on a one-and-a-half mile stretch of a river bank in a bid to build the perfect dam to attract a female.Locals had noticed fallen trees bearing the markings of beaver teeth - but experts were baffled as the animals have been extinct in England for the past 800 years.

The six-stone male had escaped from its enclosure with two femalebeavers which were recaptured shortly after. The animal's conservationist owner, Derek Gow, is now laying a series of humane traps to try to recapture it.

Mr Gow, who keeps 24 beavers under licence from Government agency Natural England, revealed that the 'docile and family-orientated' beaver is living on a 1.2mile stretch of the River Tamar.

He said: 'I know where it is - that's not the problem. The problem is he has established a mile-long territory.

'Beavers haven't lived here since the 13th century and so beaver traps are in short supply. They don't exactly sell them at B&Q.

'We've made our own traps out of steel and aluminium - wood is no good for a beaver trap for obvious reasons. He'd gnaw his way out.'The trap contains female scent which we


a small oxbow lake. The male, apparently looking for love, had other ideas and has river-hopped his way down to Gunnislake.'Mr Gow is now working with Natural England to track down the beaver using 'honeytraps' - boxes marked with a female beaver's scent.

He said: 'It will require five or six at least and we've got traps being made up at the moment. They have two doors at either end and a sensitive plate inside.

'Hopefully using the scent from one of the female beavers, we'll be able to catch the male beaver fairly quickly.'

The eight-year-old beaver was brought to the UK five years ago from Bavaria. He is a herbivore and stays within 50m of the water.

Beavers were hunted to extinction in England and Wales during the 12th centurybeavers are in quarantine for six months before release into the wild in Scotland, as part of a Scottish Executive-approved reintroduction programme.

Earlier this year, 12 baby beavers were born at a reserve at the Lower Mill Estate near Cirencester, Gloucestershire - the first in Britain in 400 years.

In July, a pair of beavers built what is believed to be the first dam in England for centuries at Escot House, near Ottery St Mary, Devon.

The estate has been working to reintroduce the animals on the site for three years and they are kept in an enclosure to prevent them from escaping into the wild.

Over recent years, 15 beavers have been reintroduced to England and Natural England is considering a plan to release 20 into the wild.

He has since become a star attraction at The Horse Refuge in Tenterden, Kent, where his new owners have had to build a special large stable for him. He also needs custom-made rugs and collars. Carer Sara Ross said: 'Visitors can't believe it when they see him. Some joke that he must be crossed with an elephant.

'He towers over me. I go underneath him rather than around him when I'm with him to save time. When I'm grooming him I have to stand on something.'

These white fallow bucks make the perfect seasonal picture as they roam through the forest.

Posed in an almost mirror image, the dazzling white fur of these young bucks cut a truly extraordinary sight next to the brown coats of their fellow deer.

However they might not being Christmas cheer to their fellow fallows - these deers are known as Judas deers as their pale colouring stands out among the herd and makes them visible to poachers.The magnificent creatures were snapped by amateur photographer and wildlife enthusiast Stan Kemish, president of the British Deer Society's Wessex division.

Mr Kemish, from Hampshire, was delighted to find the two unusually coloured young bucks roaming together at the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary in the


New Forest.

The retired 73-year-old said: 'I was really lucky to get this photograph - it was purely by chance that I came across them.

'These two had been spooked by the sound of a dog barking in the distance and they had raised their heads in such a majestic way.

'I think the picture really captures the beauty of these animals - they really look their best when they are alert."'

Mr Kemish believes the bucks are two of a group of around 20 white fallow deer that roam the forest.

He said: 'The white deer are such remarkable creatures and such beautiful animals.

'It's so spectacular to see them and people love to come down to the forest to catch a glimpse of them because they are seen as such a bigit's doubtful she will see any challengers any time soon.

The ruins of an entire city have been found in northern Peru which could provide the 'missing link' between two ancient cultures, researchers have said.

Researchers digging at the Cerro Patapo archaeological site made the discovery 14


miles (22km) from the Pacific coast city of Chiclayo.

They say the ruins likely date back to the Wari culture, which existed in what is now Peru between about 600 AD and 1100 AD.If initial assumptions prove correct, the discovery would connect the ancient Wari civilization to the Moche culture, which flourished from about 100 AD to 600 AD.

The buried city includes ceramics, bits of clothing and the well-preserved remains of a young woman.

The sprawling site, which stretches over 3 miles (5km), contained cells and rooms that were used for human sacrifice.

A team led by the project's chief archaeologist Cesar Soriano, discovered special spots designated for the act of killing and a heap of bones at the bottom of a nearby cliff, an indication that the victims were thrownto their deaths.

'It provides the missing link because it explains how the Wari people allowed for the continuation of culture after the Moche,' Soriano told Reuters.

He said the discovery provides the first evidence of Wari culture, which expanded from the country's south, at the northern site.

The Wari people lived and ruled for 500 years and made their capital near modern-day Ayacucho, in the Andes, but travelled widely and are known for their extensive network of roads. They conducted multiple burials and sent their loved ones into the afterlife with provisions and tools of their trade.

The discovery appears to back-up historical comment that believed the Wari people produced strong, well-built stone buildings.

The structure of the buildings were often made up of vast rectangular enclosures laid out in strict patterns.


They were also designed to be earthquake resistant.

Earlier this year, archaeologists at the Huaca Pucllana ruins in Lima, located some 500 miles (800km) south of Chiclayo, discovered a mummy that is also thought to be Wari.

The mummy - named Lady of the Mask - was assumed to be a noblewoman and was found in a crouching position surrounded by ceramics and textiles.

Peru is a country rich in archaeological treasures and has hundreds of sites that date back thousands of years and span dozens of cultures.

These include the Incan empire that was in power when Spanish explorers arrived in the early 1500s.

Shifting the baby weight after a pregnancy can be tough and judging by this picture it looks like Kathi the hippopotamus is struggling a bit.

Nevertheless things seem tobe going just swimmingly for the mother who showed off her two-week-old calf on her first public outing at Berlin Zoo in Germany yesterday.

Little Paula was born underwater on November 29 and mother and baby are happy, healthy and bonding nicely, say zookeepers.

The calf is Kathi's second baby and the first hippo to be born at the zoo in three years.She might seem tiny but Paula already weighs 40kgs (88lbs) and will soon catch up to her mother's full figure, weighing up to a whopping two tons.

More than a thousand new species have been discovered in the Greater Mekong Region of Southeast Asia in the last decade, according to a new report from WWF.

Among the 1,068 new species discovered between 1997 and 2007 were the world’s largest huntsman


spider, with a leg span of 30 centimetres, and the hot pink cyanide-producing 'dragon millipede'.

Most species were discovered in the largely unexplored jungles and wetlands. However, the Laotian rock rat, thought to be extinct 11 million years ago, was first encountered by scientists in a local food market.

The Siamese Peninsula pitviper was found slithering through the rafters of a restaurant in Khao Yai National Park in Thailand.

Pumpkin Hunt: Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin by Tad Hill

"Nice pumpkin, Thistle."

"Yes, it is."

"I want a pumpkin, too," said Goose.

"Duck, let's go find one."
Admiring their friend Thistle's lovely orange specimen puts Duck and Goose into instant pumpkin lust. The two set out to find their own, but they have no idea where pumpkins are to be found. A hollow log turns out to be a pumpkin-free zone. Then the frisky friends jump into a pile of autumn leaves and toss them at each other.

"Is our pumpkin in the leaf pile?"

"No," said Duck.

"Is our pumpkin up in the apple tree?"

Well, no, and it's not in the pond where Duck admires his own relection either. Goose climbs on top of Duck's shoulders to peer at theCredit: John Wilcox

UNITED STATES of America ex rel. Albert LaMOLINARE, Appellant,v.Robert W. DUGGAN, District Attorney, Allegheny County,Pittsburgh, Pa., James Maroney, Supt., StateCorrectional Institution, Pittsburgh, Pa.
No. 17420.

Before HASTIE, Chief Judge, and McLAUGHLIN and STAHL, Circuit Judges.
OPINION OF THE COURT
HASTIE, Chief Judge.

1
The appellant, a state prisoner, is seeking federal habeas corpus on the ground that his conviction of larceny and receiving stolen goods resulted from a trial by a judge sitting without a jury which did not satisfy the requirements of due process of law.  More particularly, he complains thatpresent record.

5
At appellant's trial the prosecution introduced evidence of the circumstances attending the search of appellant's car and the seizure of stolen goods found in it.  A telephone call of unknown origin relayed to a police officer on patrol caused him to investigate a particular parked car.  Visual observation showed that the car contained a television set, a strong box, a clock radio and cartons of cigarettes and that the car key was in the ignition switch.  While still on the scene the officer received a call from police headquarters that a report had been received that a burglary was in progress in a house nearby.

Leaving the car the officer approached the house in question where he and another officer who also had received the


burglary report observed, but were unable to apprehend, three men fleeing from the building.  Thereafter, on instructions from his superiors, the officer had the car towed to police headquarters where the observed articles were removed.  The articles were later identified as stolen, at least part of them during an earlier burglary.

The police took possession of the car and the articles in it believing that the articles had been stolen by the intruders who had just escaped and that the car was the intended get away vehicle.  We think this belief was a reasonable inference from the information that the police had.  The telephone call concerning a burglary in progress followed by the flight of three men from the scene provided ample reason for believingis right.

In addition, the appellant himself testified: 'at the time of the trial I left my case in Mr. Dixon's hands.  He conducted it the way he seen fit.'

Thus, defense counsel, exercising his best judgment and with at least the tacit consent of his client, decided not to seek to suppress the evidence taken from his car.  This procedure was consistent with the line of defense adopted by the accused.  He insisted that on the night of the robbery he had loaned his car to a friend and knew nothing of its use from that time until its seizure by the police.  Since, according to his story, his car was in the possession


Molinare may have obtained a negative benefit by his counsel's failure to object to the admission of the evidence, as the trial court might have inferred from such objection that appellant was unduly concerned about the introduction of items he claimed had no relation to him.  It is difficult to consider such a speculative benefit as a predicate for a deliberate bypass when counsel could have moved to suppress the admission of the items, and if unsuccessful, could still have introduced evidence to substantiate La Molinare's claim that he had loaned his car to a friend during the critical period of time involved.  Furthermore, we should remember that this was a nonjury trial, and that the tactical stratagem posed by the majority would sway a judgeas the "stationary phase", while rotation of the coil about the holder axis produces mixing with the other or "mobile phase" to promote partition processing of solutes therefrom. In order to achieve the best results, these two effects should be optimized to yield a satisfactory retention level of the stationary phase and at the same time generate an efficient mixing of the two phases in the coil. In practice, after the apparatus has been operated for some time, a hydrodynamic equilibrium is obtained in which the stationary phase is retained in the coil and the mobile phase is introduced at an inlet of the coiled tubing elutes through the coil. Samples of materials introduced in solution in the mobile phase are partitioned between the two phases and are


Premier Kathleen Wynne will meet with Elections Ontario officials this week in an investigation into claims of improper behaviour in a by-election.

Wynne asked Andrew Olivier, the Liberals' candidate in Sudbury, Ont., in last June's general election, not to seek the nomination for the Feb. 5 by-election there because she had another preferred candidate.

Olivier has accused the Liberals of offering him a job or appointment in return for stepping aside for their new star candidate Glenn Thibeault, who left his job as an NDP MP to run for the provincial Liberals.

Councilor Gordon Hicks said the city has belonged to SCCOG many years, and the organization helps the city with a lot of funding through federal and state sources.

The city’s resolution states SCCOG provides assistance, when requested, in grant program planning, economic development, strategic overall planning and more. SCCOG also addresses regional issues, plus serves as a liaison and advocate for local governments at the state and federal level. Yearly membership in SCCOG costs the city $2,663.

Were voting machines hacked during the 2016 election? Watch Now

PHILADELPHIA -- For months, Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has complained loudly and publicly that the election is "rigged."

Trump has warned supporters that rampant voter fraud may cost him, and his voters, the election. One recent poll said Trump has swayed about a quarter of registered voters into believing that it's possible, despite overwhelming evidence showing that voter fraud is "virtually non-existent."

But a series of high profile cyberattacks on voter registration systems in at least 20 states -- and a massive breach this spring of databases used by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign -- has set a sizable portion of the public on edge. Almost six-in-ten US voters believe it's likely electronic voting machines couldmanaged to program the card itself to cast multiple votes.

"In both approaches, that attacker is stuffing the digital ballot box and casting doubt in the validity of the results from that polling station," he said. Symantec also warned that a lack of encryption on the system's removable storage device "makes it easily exploitable, requiring only a simple device to reprogram the compact hard drive."

Another potential target of hackers is the Sequoia AVC Advantage, used across the state of Louisiana, four precincts in Virginia, two counties in Pennsylvania, and in the majority of counties in New Jersey.

In testimony in September before a House subcommittee, one expert in voting machine technology said he could hack the Sequoia AVC Advantage in seven minutes -- using just a screwdriver and simple piece


Eagles' Bradham goes from shaky start to stable presence on defense

PHILADELPHIA – Doug Pederson hadn't yet coached a game in Philadelphia when he was asked in July 2016 whether the team was going to release linebacker Nigel Bradham or not.

Bradham, whom the team signed in March that year, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault following an incident at the Hilton Bentley Miami in South Beach.

The Eagles stuck by him.

But a few months later, with the Eagles on a bye, Bradham, a Crawfordville, Fla., native, was arrested at Miami International Airport after TSA employees discovered a loaded handgun in his backpack.

The Eagles again stuck by him.

The patience has paid off.

Bradham, 28, who was also cited for marijuana possession in 2013, has played some of the best football ofhis career in an Eagles uniform. The former Buffalo Bills linebacker started every game in 2016 and registered 102 combined tackles, two off a career-high. And this year, Bradham, whose recent legal troubles are behind him, according to ESPN, has been one of the team's most versatile defensive players.

When "MIKE" linebacker Jordan Hicks ruptured his Achilles in October, Bradham was forced into a leadership role, one he grabbed by the horns with the responsibility of wearing the radio communication in his helmet. In the game Hicks got hurt, on October 12 in Carolina, Bradham had one of the best games of his career.

In 15 regular season games, Bradham led the Eagles with 88 total tackles.

And as he heads into the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, Bradham

Passing sentencing at Craigavon Crown Court in Co Armagh, Judge Patrick Lynch QC told Ioan Lacatus that he was a “manipulative individual” who used his “intimidating physical presence” and ran what he described as an “exploitive regime” on the workers.

The judge said one of the Romanian victims had described their accommodation as “living like rats” with limited showering and washing facilities with 15 people housed under the roof of a three bedroomed rented home.

They were forced to “sleep on mattresses on the floor of every room” in the house in Portadown and were told not talk to


Street property and rescued a further three men.

Lacatus was arrested two days later on August 15th. The same day police spoke to Samuil Covaci initially “as a witness but then arrested him as a defendant”.

Cristina Covaci was arrested in october and replied: “What did you come to arrest me for? Are you joking? Are you serious?”

Mr McDowell QC said the victims had come from a poor rural part of Romania near the border with Hungary and were “promised €400 (Euros) per week” to work eight hours a day, along with a place to stay and food.

He told the court that Samuil Covaci and his two brothers also lived at the house in Hanover Street.

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket approaches landing at the company's West Texas landing pad on Jan. 22, 2016 during a launch and landing test flight. It was the second flight for this New Shepard booster.

Blue Origin has done it again. The private spaceflight company has launched a private rocket into space and landed it back on Earth. And as a bonus, Blue Origin reused the same rocket from its first launch-landing test flight.

"Launch. Land. Repeat," company officials wrote in a statement announcing the epic space feat on Friday (Jan. 22). The statement accompanied a spectacular video of the Blue Origin launch and landing.

Blue Origin's billionaire founder Jeff Bezos announced the test flight success in a blog post, revealing that it used the same suborbital New Shepard rocket and crew capsule the company launched and landed last year. Both flights launched from and landed at the company's proving grounds in West Texas. [See more photos of Blue Origin's test flight]

"The very same New Shepard booster that flew above the Karman line and then landed vertically at its launch site last November has now flown and landed again, demonstrating reuse," Bezos wrote. The Karman Line is the widely recognized border between Earth and space, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the surface.

Blue Origin made history last year when its New Shepard booster launched into suborbital space and returned to Earth. That Nov. 23 test flight reached an altitude of 329,839 feet (62.4 miles or 100.5 km). The Jan. 22 flight went a bit higher, to 333,582 feet (63.2 miles or 101.7 km), "before both capsule and booster gently returned to Earth for recovery and reuse," Bezos wrote in the statement.

Helm's breakthrough stint sets up grand climax

A compelling denouement is in prospect at Edgbaston where Middlesex will resume on the final morning of their crucial Specsavers County Championship tussle with Warwickshire on 36 for 2, needing 234 to winwas a lie she’d offered, a trick being played, then accepting would allow him to turn this spin of the yarn on her. A false surrender, when he still had the forces in motion that he’d sent out? The backlash of such a ploy would be bloody for the villain who’d played it. But that was the wrong way to think about this, he decided, because it assumed that Catherine Foundling was a fool. And she wasn’t, unfortunately. She was reckless often and at times arrogant, but also frightfully prone to learning from her mistakes – those, at least, that were not born from the flaws at the very heart of her. It was possible, he considered, that she’d pit providence against the weight of his broken oath.


Wagered that events would not tumble forward in a way that allowed him to uncover the conspiracy, should there be one. Yet it was not a good wager, for her, since taking it at all meant she’d fallen into the role of the Grand Alliance’s villainous adversary. No it was nearly certain that the offer of surrender was genuine, which only made it all the more dangerous.

It would break the pattern of three, if he accepted. A victory for her, in claiming back her teacher’s body through ploy, and then a much greater victory for him this night, in scaring her into surrender – that would be the end of it. It was a draw that would take Tariq where he needed to go, arm him with thesuspected the importance of it to him. Should this, then, be seen as an olive branch?

She would not allow a foe the power over her Tariq had sought to obtain, yet she understood why he found the need for it. And so a concession was made, surrender unconditional on the field, offering to his old hands the thread that might just untangle the thorny knot that was the confluence in Iserre. A knife bared, his purpose denied but then a lesser prize offered. It fit, as it would not be the first time that the Black Queen dealt with others using that blunt but potent approach.

Like an old mule he’d been approached, and this was the apple dangled: an end to Iserre that would be to the benefit


shoulders so he could bring morning’s light to the sky. Would the miracle wane and die? The Ophanim murmured uncertainly in his ear, even they unknowing. He suspected not, but it would at least be made fragile. Judged hollow by Creation, and so become exactly that. The Black Queen’s answer, the coiling darkness that lay at the heart of her camp and had been carefully woven into a theurgic ritual, would rip through it. Perhaps reverse the situation entire, unleashing her drow anew in the fullness of the might.

The Grey Pilgrim was no leader of warbands but he had known wars and felt the power of the Everdark’s children fill the night. If they struck out again with their strength restored, the battle would resume with her forcesBlack Queen would have been able to encounter such a helper since her disappearance should be the Everdark. It was, he reflected, deeply unlikely anyone but Catherine Foundling on her side could bring an end to his dawn – her patron murderesses notwithstanding, for should they intervene directly so would the Choir of Mercy. Old mule that he was, he’d been offered the apple and the stick. But it appeared that the stick might be little more than glamour, a shadow on the wall. If he refused, and dawn held, then…

That would be contingent on her failing to return, but her absence was telling: whatever her scheme, it required her to see to something else. Instead of an olive branch extended, he thought, this might instead be the


for a knife at the throat of the very woman offering it – a knife, it must be said, that he now stood little chance of obtaining no matter his decision. The scope of the scales, Tariq thought, were close to beyond his ability to grasp.

The Black Queen that could be would be the end of Calernia. Between the Kingdom of the Dead and the Kingdom of the East, the continent would be made a ruin of endless war. Yet in combating the Black Queen that could be, was he blinding himself to the truth of the Black Queen that was?

Could there be any justification for the tossing away of the only pattern of three he would ever have with Catherine Foundling? There might not be another wayto kill her if she further grew beyond Tariq’s means. By staying his hand he might be letting slip an entity he could no longer put down.

In refusing an offer of peace from Callow when the Dead King was on the march, was he not aiding the Hidden Horror regardless of all other concerns?

Innocents were going to die.

Innocents had died, some by his own design.

The Ophanim were at his side, helping his tired old bones stand straight, and though in their whispers there was sorrow there was also something other. Trust. They trusted him, the murmurs said, to make the choice. They had seen as he saw, tread in his wake for the seemingly endless days and night he had been the Peregrine. They’d been at his shoulder

Critical response
The pilot episode received generally favorable reviews upon release. Newsdays Verne Gay commended the series' start, specifically the casting of Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and the pilot's ability to weave in the action with "a pleasing romantic triangle, interfamily intrigue, a flawed hero and [...] a mystery." David Hiltbrand, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, characterizes the pilot as a "dark, gleaming gem", but acknowledges that the show's success will be built around how well it maintains the quality of the action sequences and the mystery behind Oliver's motives. NY Daily News David Hinckley praised the start of the series as being "lively" and  Tremendous shifts in mariners’ rights took place be-
tween 1920 and 1950. First, during and after the First
World War, Congress enacted a series of laws regulating
maritime liability culminating in the Merchant Marine
Act of 1920, §33, 41 Stat. 1007 (Jones Act), which codified
the rights of injured mariners and created new statutory
claims that were freed from many of the common-law
limitations on recovery. The Jones Act provides injured
seamen with a cause of action and a right to a jury. 46

Indeed, the doctrine’s apex coincided with many of the
harsh common-law limitations on recovery that were not
set aside until the passage of the Jones Act. And, while
sailors today face hardships not encountered by those who
work on land, neither are they as isolated nor as depend-

HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” a series about hoodie-wearing hipsters coding for cash and dreaming big in the tech world, often feels more like a freewheeling fraternity house than a buttoned-up, billionaire boys’ club.

As details of Ellen Pao’s gender-discrimination case against the prominent venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers came to light, the industry and the (mostly) men who fund it sounded as if they were a bit of both.

Pao, 45, came to the firm in 2005 as a junior partner, with a résumé that reads like a Fast Company profile. She received a BS in electrical engineering at Princeton before earning both a law degree and an MBA from Harvard.

What transpired over her seven years at the Silicon Valley


giant, before Pao was eventually fired in 2012, reads like a soap opera.

Over the course of several weeks in one of the most closely watched tech trials in history, jurors heard sordid details of the alleged bad behavior that prompted Pao to file the suit, seeking as much as $100 million in damages.

There were allegations of unwanted sexual advances, all-male ski trips and uncomfortable conversations about pornography, as well as claims of retaliation against her for ending a relationship with a married coworker.

At one point, Pao said, she was told by a colleague, “Women kill the buzz.”

Kleiner had its own version of the story, including reports of Pao’s poor performance, her sense of entitlement, and the fact that she was not perceived as a team player.

On the sidelines,another drama was developing involving Pao’s husband, Buddy Fletcher, who was also beset by legal troubles, including a lawsuit he brought against the swanky apartment building where he lived in New York City and a bankruptcy at the hedge fund he ran. This led many people to question Pao’s motives and the timing of her suit.

Pao’s trial ended when a jury of six men and six women decided in favor of the firm. She had lost her case, but many felt she had won in the court of public opinion, after generating a real and frank conversation about gender in Silicon Valley.

Superior Court Judge Harold Kahn has issued a tentative ruling that Pao should pay $276,000 to her old firm to cover legal costs. Kleiner Perkins had


sought $865,000.

As she mulls over her next steps legally, Pao is not able to discuss the specific details of her case and claims, but in an exclusive interview with Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric, she takes on the boys club of the tech world, discusses the role race plays in the Valley, and responds to the millions of critics and fans who followed her every move as she battled Kleiner Perkins

A common illness

About 25 million Americans — between 5 and 8 percent of the adult population — will have an episode of major depression this year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The World Health Organization places the global reach of the disease at 350 million.

During a recent series of interviews, Duncan, 58, offered new details about his illness, different forms of which have afflicted his family for generations. He said his depression began earlier than he has previously acknowledged: in 2000, the midpoint of his 12-year tenure as county executive.

Duncan is the first candidate in the Washington region to make his mental illness an integral part of his presentation to voters.

So why does he talk about depression virtually everywhere he goes?

“This is very personal to me.”

Family history

In the late 1970s, as an ambitious young Democrat dating Barbara Cumiskey, the Rockville county-courthouse worker who would soon become his wife, Duncan “sort of half-joked” that he’d dodged what he called “the family curse.”

His paternal grandfather, James Duncan, was an Olympic bronze medalist and World War I veteran who settled in France to work as a caretaker for an American military cemetery near Paris. In 1932, sinking into what was then called manic depression (now known as bipolar disorder),he shot himself in the stomach and chest. He spent much of the last 20 years of his life at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Southeast Washington.

Duncan’s father, also named James, was a National Security Agency analyst who took lithium for his bipolar condition. Doug Duncan remembers him as a loving but strict man for whom “no” was the default answer. Which made it easier to tell when he’d stopped taking his medication and was headed for a manic episode.

“You could tell he was getting sick again when he started to be nice,” said Duncan, the fifth of 13 children raised in Rockville’s Twinbrook neighborhood. Recalling out-of-the-blue offers of the keys to the family car, he said, “You knew it wasn’t going to end well.”

White House Task Force Warns Against Going‘My Dream Is to Play for India’: Kolkata-Born UAE SpinnerCricket

India-born off-spinner Rishab Mukherjee might be donning the United Arab Emirates jersey but his eyes are all set on representing India in the future. The young cricketer is currently gearing up for the UAE under-19 cricket world cup.

Born in Kolkata, the 18-year-old Mukherjee moved to Dubai with family when he was five. Besides qualifying for the world cup, he has also been qualified by the Asia Cup, which is now afoot in Sri Lanka.

With World Cup scheduled to take place in January 2020 in South Africa, Rishab ultimately desires to play for the Men in Blue continuing his good show in matches and taking baby steps towards achievement.

"My dream is to play for India. I wish to move back


to Kolkata and try and get into the Bengal team by getting into a first division club after the U-19 World Cup is over. "I am ready to start all over again. I have spoken to many coaches back home and they have encouraged me," Rishabh told IANS from Katunayake.

(Image source from: Times Now)

Rishab’s family has been settled in Dubai since 2006. His setting foot into the cricket team was hassle-free after leaving a mark on the selectors in the Inter-Academy League in Dubai earlier this year.

"I was actually preparing for club cricket because I was planning on going back to Kolkata. And for the last two years, I've been working very hard. Luckily I performed in the Inter-Academy League with the ball and got called into theUAE U-19 camp.

"In the camp, there were two selection games in which I took five wickets in one and four wickets in the other. All this happened in February." Rishabh was selected in the UAE U-19 side that took part in the World Cup qualifiers in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) in April.

"I took nine wickets there in five matches. We qualified for the World Cup," he said. Besides World Cup qualifiers, Rishabh also did well in the Asia Cup qualifiers which took place a week after the World Cup qualifiers. "In the four games I played, I grabbed seven wickets. I did not bowl in one game."

At first, Rishab was keen on football, but asthma did not permit him to take part in the sport. "I couldn't do that

The Daily Dot, the self-described "hometown newspaper of the World Wide Web," is an online news site based in Austin, Texas that covers technology and internet culture. It also has offices in New York and San Francisco. The company was founded in 2011 by White, whose family had owned an Ohio newspaper for six generations. Before the layoffs, The Daily Dot had 75 employees.

Read White's full statement below:

We let several people go today as part of a restructuring.

While this move is without a doubt the right thing for the long-term sustainability of the Dot, this was an exceedingly tough decision to make.

We expect headcount to grow back to yesterday's level soon, as we hire more people in areas like video, e-commerce and sales.

Personal life
Jefferson lives in Florida. He has two grown daughters who live in Virginia. During the peak of his career Jefferson shied away from the spotlight and preferred a private, low key profile. In 2016, in an interview on SNY, he reflected on his baseball career and his career as an NYPD officer, addressing his experience during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In 2018, Jefferson was recognized for his athletic and heroic contributions by Bethune-Cookman University and was inducted into their Hall of Fame alongside other accomplished alumni.

The change in current flow and electric field produces a signal that is applied to a detector suitably arranged to respond to such change.
It has been proved that the change in impedance of the contents of the sensing zone as a particle passes through it is approximately proportional to the volume of the particle where the diameter of the orifice is smaller than the axial length of the orifice.

The back-and-forth has drawn comments from some Christian conservatives who think the Pope should have stayed out of the political fray.

"Being a Catholic myself - and I've earned that identity going to Catholic high school and college - my whole training is learning in Catholicism - I am very disappointed in the Pope coming out against Donald Trump," said actor John Voight in a text to Fox News Thursday.

"Men or the cloth should not get involved in political campaigns," he added.

They're as rich as any city in the world, and then Hison federal probation and had received a three year suspended sentence for possessing narcotics in Connecticut. McIntosh testified at the defendant's trial that he had seen the defendant outside the Side Effect West immediately before the shooting and had heard shots as he entered the bar. He then ran out the back door and saw the defendant running down the street with a gun in his hand. Additional state narcotics charges were pending against McIntosh at the time of trial. He testified that, while no promises had been made in connection with the pending charges, he was hoping to receive some consideration in exchange for his testimony.
At some point after July, 2006, Eddie Ortiz wrote a letter to the prosecutor's office indicating that he had information about the


murder. He was incarcerated at the time and stated in his letter that he was looking for some consideration in exchange for his testimony. Ortiz testified at the defendant's trial that he had seen the defendant shoot the victim. He also testified that, during the trial, he had been placed in the same holding cell as the defendant, who said to him, "You know what I did" and "I know where you live at." In addition, Ortiz testified that the defendant had offered him $5000 not to testify. He further testified that the prosecutor's office had not promised him anything in exchange for his testimony and that he had been told that it would be up to a judge whether he would receive any benefit, such as asentence modification. He had expectations, however, that his testimony would be taken into consideration.
Approximately six months after the murder, James Jefferson asked his attorney to inform Harold Dimbo, a detective with the Bridgeport police department, that Jefferson had information about the murder. Jefferson, who was incarcerated in Connecticut on domestic violence charges at the time, was subject to lifetime parole in New York in connection with a conviction on narcotics charges in that state. Dimbo visited Jefferson in prison and Jefferson agreed to give a statement about the shooting. Dimbo made no promises to Jefferson. In September, 2006, the domestic violence charges were dismissed for lack of evidence. Thereafter, Jefferson testified at the defendant's trial that he had seen the defendant and the victim outside Side Effect West


immediately before the shooting. He also saw the defendant shoot at someone, but he did not see the victim at that point. At the time of trial, Jefferson was incarcerated in Connecticut for violating his parole in New York.
McIntosh, Ortiz and Jefferson were the only witnesses who identified or implicated the defendant as the shooter. The defendant's girlfriend, Shenisha McPhearson, testified that the defendant had been with her at her apartment at the time of the shooting. The state presented no physical *599 evidence to tie the defendant to the shooting and the gun used in the shooting was never recovered.
At trial, the trial court gave the jury a general credibility instruction.[2] In his arguments to the jury, defense counsel argued that Jefferson's testimony represented "the kind ofthe robbery conviction; that he had asked for consideration from the prosecutor's office in exchange for giving information about the shooting; that he was told that he would receive no such consideration; that he was told that only a Superior Court judge could change his sentence; and that he had an expectation and a hope that he would receive some consideration in exchange for his testimony, but he had received no promises. In addition, on cross-examination, when defense counsel asked Ortiz whether he was aware that the state would have to agree before he could ask a judge for consideration in exchange for his testimony Ortiz replied, "Yes, sir." When defense counsel rephrased the question, however, Ortiz replied, "I don't know about that." In addition, as previously indicated

Snuffed Out

I started playing EVE around summer 2013 as a newbro in TEST. Since then I've spent a ton of time in mostly null, some low and more recently w-space groups. In brief:

TEST - June 2013: As a newbro, just spent time learning the game during the Fountain war. Eventually left to go try some other stuff after the evac from null was announced.

EMP - November 2013: Joined a new friends corp. Spent the Halloween war flying with this N3 affiliated alliance that disbanded just a couple weeks after B-R. Joined my longest term corp TSK in the fallout of that disband.

FCore - February 2014: As honorary members of Fountain Core, we spent months harassing and ultimately playing a major role in the disband of Li3. Got mylegs for NPC null here.

Black Legion - May 2014: TSK was invited to join BL and we had an absolute blast. I wore a lot of hats helping out with a ton of things and became quite trusted here, making a name for myself as someone who could get stuff done. Ended up leading the alliance to it's eventual disband in September 2015.

TISHU - October 2015: TSK joined a growing TISHU along with a couple other BL corps. I helped out a lot here and started FCing more regularly. We participated in the whole of WWB alongside PL, and had a ton of fun working out and shamelessly abusing the new strengths of supercaps in low numbers scenarios for the few months after Citadel where the rest of


lived not too far away in Inglewood --that's where practice quarterbacks tended to say. Every morning, we would ride together down to practice in Blair Field in Long Beach, then have breakfast in the golf club restaurant before the quarterback meeting. Hadl was a genuine guy. Genuine. He would quiz us all the time about different situations and teams. It was like going to quarterback school.

Fred Dryer, Rams Pro Bowl defensive end and an actor for more than 30 years: [Owner] Carroll Rosenbloom had traded in the Colts for the Rams, and he brought in a new coach, new uniforms and a new attitude. In that 1973 season, we went 12-2 and Hadl won NFC Player of the Year. But he lost the playoff game to Dallas, andthe quarterback carousel started up again. That was always a problem with the Rams.

Chuck Knox: My second season, 1974, begins, and we win three of our first five games. This would be fine for most teams, but it meant that we had already lost as many games as in all of 1973. And in the public's and management's eyes, that meant trouble. At the same time, Coach Dan Devine of Green Bay calls. He sounds as desperate as I'm starting to feel. He says he needs a quarterback. Bad. He needs our MVP, John Hadl.

Bill Curry, Rams backup center who became two-time SEC Coach of the Year at Alabama: I had played for [Rosenbloom] in Baltimore, so we were pretty close. He called me to tell me he


With its 152 islands, islets and cliffs, the Kornati islands
are the most indented archipelago in the whole of Mediterranean.
Due to extraordinary beautiful landscapes, great indentedness
and a rich marine flora and fauna, a part of the archipelago
became a national park. The Kornati islands are not permanently
populated. What you can find there is mostly farmland belonging
to residents of the island of Murter, who have fished, grown
olives, vine and kept sheep there for centuries. The fishermen's
houses have been turned into comfortable accommodation for
people looking for peace and quiet, for those who want to
be surrounded by nature, for those who would like to experience
life of the old days in this bare landscape. There are houses
all around the archipelago. In some of the bays there is only
one house, in some of them thereA Mountain City man was arrested this week on charges that stem from what officers believe was a drunken wreck in May 2013 that injured a female passenger, a warrant filed in Washington County Sessions Court said.

The crash happened May 28, 2013, around 6:15 p.m., although the crash location was not revealed in the court documents. Witnesses to the crash told officers they heard the wreck and then saw a man and woman leaving the scene.

Officers later made contact with the female victim, not identified in court records, at the Johnson City Medical Center.

The woman told officers Hyatt had been driving the vehicle and speeding when he lost control and wrecked. The two ran after the crash, the woman told officers.

At the scene inside the vehicle, officers found


or casual shopper. When Weiner, a landlord by trade, first began selling furniture, it was on a sidewalk rather than a storefront. He sold pieces that he had restored himself — many of which came from flea markets and fire sales all over the state — out of the back of his pick-up truck in front of the Old Cambridge Baptist Church. It wasn’t long, he said, before the city’s zoning board told him to stop. Later, he was allowed to sell the pieces in front of his building on River Street, only to have city officials shut him down again. All the while, his stock of furniture was sitting in storage in the basement of his Pearl Street property.

“Suddenly, I realized that instead of going to theelse besides storage, Weiner said, is now brightly lit, chock full of velvet-lined armchairs, a fleet of dining tables and aged bed frames. At the door, a chalk-white bust of Elvis — complete with a fluorescent halo fixed above his head — sits atop an old, rich-colored cabinet.

In the store’s heyday, during the late 1980s and 1990s, Weiner said he had a booming business. He had graduated from scouring flea markets and cleaning out old houses to attending auctions, which were yielding a much better product. The demand for vintage items, including furniture, he said, had never been higher. Then, around 2000, interest in authentic antique furniture began to wilt, he said. Big box retailers such as Target and Ikea began churning out imitation antiques for half the


1935 Lincoln Model K news, pictures, specifications, and information

The onset of the Great Depression sent car manufacturers struggling to find a way to stay in business. The producers of the luxury and exclusive vehicles felt the most pain. The small group of people who could afford the stately vehicles dwindled in size. Those left with the means to purchase one often avoided the option, some believe it was due to public opinion and perception. The manufacturers that had a wider range of vehicles available for the wealthy, middle-class, and the poor were better able to compete.

Lincoln vehicles were tailored to the wealthy. During the Great Depression, they suffered. Financial backing from the Ford Motor Company helped them through this difficult time. Edsel Ford championed their product line andwas a big supporter of the Lincoln vehicles. Their powerful engines and attractive bodies were truly impressive. Many were clothed by talented coachbuilders such as LeBaron, Dietrich and Brunn. This example shown was bodied by the Brunn & Company and is a testament to the quality and their art. It is one of the few remaining Lincoln convertible coupes bodied by Brunn. The 1935 model year was the final year for the wire wheels and flowing fender lines.

Hermann Brunn of Buffalo, NY founded the Brunn and Company in 1908. His reputation began to grow and as time progressed, became renowned for his quality and style. His son, Hermann C. Brunn, later joined the business after an apprenticeship at Kellner in Paris. The company had a long and prosperous


career that lasted until World War II. Hermann C. Brunn continued his career at Ford working in their design department.

At the RM Auctions in Meadow Brook of 2006, this vehicle was estimated to fetch between $175,000 - $225,000. It found a new home at $231,000.By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2008

The Lincoln K-Series (also known as the Model K, reflecting the earlier Ford Model K) was a line of luxury vehicle produced by Lincoln from 1931 to 1942. While the original K-Series featured a 385 cubic-inch V8, a V12 became standard in 1933. Customers also had the choice of ordering fully custom coachwork.

The 1935-1940 Lincoln Model K was the senior Lincoln of the late '30's following the advent of the medium-price Zephyr for 1936. All had the 'K' designationthe economy, especially the luxury car segment. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president, having won election in 1932 on the promise of 'a new deal for the American people.' He won by a margin of nearly 17 points, carrying 42 of the 48 states and accumulating 472 electoral votes to incumbent president Herbert Hoover's 59.

Roosevelt's New Deal began to gain steam before the 1936 election campaign with landmark achievements such as instituting the Social Security system. Another popular campaign pledge which happened on December 5, 1933, was repealing Prohibition and putting the bootleggers out of business.

This 1935 Lincoln Model K V-12 Phaeton is known as Franklin Delano Roosevelt's California campaign car. FDR used it for appearances around Los Angeles, riding in the back of an open luxury car waving


to the crowds that always turned out to greet him.

Sid and Jenny Craig acquired this Lincoln K in 1993 from Tom Barrett through the Classic and Vintage Car Company in Beverly Hills. It rides on a 136-inch wheelbase and was delivered in the Royal Dark Blue in which it has been restored. It wears coachwork type 544, a standard four-door sedan, and is believed to have been specifically bodied for FDR's California use by his local supporters.

The restoration is an older job that still shows well in modern times. It has folding side windows, rear compartment footrest and jump seats, dual enclosed sidemounts with mirrors, a orraine remotely operated spotlight, wide whitewall tires on wire wheels a luggage rack and, importantly for FDR, a smoker's kit in therear.

In 2009, this vehicle was offered for sale by Bonhams Auction at the Quail Lodge Resort and Golf Club in Carmel, CA. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $348,000 inclusive of Buyer's Premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2009

Lincoln vehicles were tailored to the wealthy, and during the Great Depression, Lincoln's production suffered. This Lincoln model is number four of the 13 built and is powered by a 414 cubic-inch V-12 engine offering 150 horsepower.

This non-collapsible cabriolet (Model K 304-B), although collapsible over chauffeur's compartment, was purchased from a Canadian body shop, where it had resided for many years. There is little history of the previous owners, although this model was referred to as the President's Car. One of four


survivors was the Presidential Car for the first President of the Philippines and resided in the Presidential Museum in Manila, Philippines.

This style Lincoln is also known as Franklin D. Roosevelt's California campaign car, as he would ride in the open back and wave to the crowds. The remaining two Lincolns are in museums in the United States.

In 1935 V12 Lincoln KB simply became known as the K. Despite production of the new Lincoln Zephyr, the Model K was sold from 1935 until 1940. In 1935, apart from the open touring car, Lincoln's soft-top sporting models were the LeBaron Convertible Coupe and Convertible Sedan as well as Brunn's Convertible Victoria. LeBaron was the most prolific coachbuilder to dress the Lincoln chassis, offering a variety of formal and sporty bodydesigns. The year 1935 was the last time Lincolns were fitted with the flowing fender line and wire wheels seen on this Convertible Coupe. Acquired in 2011, it has just been completely restored.

Sedan

About 1,411 Lincoln Ks were sold in 1935, all on the KA and KB chassis with around 20 different body styles. This K sedan was built entirely by Lincoln in an effort to increase its dwindling profits. Created only a year before the more modern looking Lincoln-Zephyr, this car still shows its 1930s roots. Despite the introduction of the completely new and better-selling Zephyr, the K continued to be sold from 1935 until 1940. This unrestored Lincoln was owned by the same family between 1938 and 1985, and then the current owner acquired it. Since then,


it has been driven only 6,000 miles and is has required only minor servicing.

This 1935 Lincoln wears coachwork by Brunn. It is a 3-window, 5 passenger Sedan that was purchased at auction in August of 1977 by the current caretaker's grandfather. The original owner was a wealthy man who eventually lent it to his college-bound son. It was later leased to a movie-production company and at some point, it was believed to have been driven through a mock fruit stand during a movie shoot.

The Lincoln remained unrestored until the late 1990s when it was entrusted to Greg Tyree's Auto Restoration. It was given a 'cost no object' restoration including a rebuild of the V-12 engine. It has traveled just 50 0miles since the work was completed.

Lincoln reduced itsrange at the end of 1934 by eliminating the KA and KB long and short chassis, and the subsequent Lincolns were called simply Model K. In 1935, amidst the Great Depression, only thirty of these Model 542 Convertible Roadsters were built on Lincoln's shorter 135-inch wheelbase chassis. That year Lincoln featured all-new styling, with the body moved well forward on the frame and the hood shortened to improve handling and lower the center of gravity. It has a 414 cubic-inch flathead V12 engine with a single two-barrel carburetor giving around 150 horsepower. Despite the difficult financial times, the car was fitted with luxurious leather seats, an Art Deco-style dashboard and instruments, a locking glove box, twin side-mounted spares with steel covers and stylish 17-inch wire wheels as standard


comparison to the more modern Zephyr and the new flagship Continental which became more appealing to buyers. Though production was mostly ended with the 1939 model year, one final Model K, the 1942 model was a one-off 'Sunshine Special' convertible limousine that was built especially for President Roosevelt.

Press Release |

SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Padres today announced the Top 3 finalists in the search for the next Petco Park public address announcer. The group was narrowed down from 10 after each finalist announced half a game during the first half of this homestand (April 11-15). More than 800 people originally tried out to be the next Petco Park public address announcer. That group was narrowed down to 50 and then to 30, and finally to 10, with the help of a fan vote online and via social media.

The Top 3 includes two Southern California residents, Sam Chin and Todd Leitz, and one New Hampshire resident, Alex Miniak. Chin, a San Diego resident
