known as FC Dallas.

Chicago won the first Brimstone Cup series in 2001, the Burn won it in 2002 and then retained it in 2003. Should the Burn win or tie Saturday, they will win the Brimstone Cup outright. Should Chicago win Saturday's match, then the Burn would retain the Cup. Dallas retained it last year after the two teams split the season series, as in the event of a tie, the previous winner retains possession of the cup.

CHICAGO FIRE

The Chicago Fire again failed to grab the full three points, a late goal snatching a 1-1 draw for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Steve Sampson's debut on Saturday night at The Home Depot Center. Despite just one victory in their last 12 league matches, the Fire are still justtied for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 23 points from 22 matches, three behind D.C. United.

A late Carlos Ruiz goal gave the Galaxy the 1-1 draw in a nervous debut in Sampson's first game in charge and saved it from ruin, after he took over for Sigi Schmid at the start of the week. The home side had to come back to secure a share of the points against a Chicago Fire side that carried the majority of the play.

Damani Ralph finally gave the visitors the advantage midway through the second half, collecting a pass on the right flank after a dreadful giveaway and ripping a low angled drive through a defender's legs that settled inside Kevin Hartman's right-hand post (67).

But after seemingly weathering a heavy


storm over the final quarter of the match, the Fire conceded the equalizer when Cobi Jones sent Arturo Torres into the right corner, and his cross into the mixer was meant by Ruiz, who saw his header just bound over the line past Chicago 'keeper Henry Ring for a tie for the league lead with 11 goals.

Fire coach Dave Sarachan made three changes to the team that responded to a first league victory in more than two months with a 3-0 home loss to the Colorado Rapids. Evan Whitfield made his first start in eight matches, coming in for Orlando Perez, while Logan Pause returned from suspension to come in for Craig Capano. Nate Jaqua also returned to partner Damani Ralph in attack, coming in for Dipsy Selolwane.

Afternot appearing last weekend, Jesse Marsch could become the club's all-time league appearance leader on Saturday. It would be his 163rd MLS match in a Fire uniform, surpassing Zach Thornton's mark.

Alexandre Boucicaut made his Fire debut against the Galaxy, coming on in the 67th minute. Last with Violette AC, where he scored 22 goals in his last four seasons, Boucicaut has also made eight national team appearances for Haiti, scoring eight goals. He scored Haiti's goal in a 1-1 draw with the USA on Feb. 18 in Miami, which put him on the radar of the Fire.

"We are very excited to add Alex to the roster," Sarachan said. "We identified him a few months ago when he played for the Haitian national team against the United States, and

SYDNEY, Australia — Australian authorities have started the controversial killing about 400 kangaroos on the outskirts of Australia's capital of Canberra, animal rights activists said Monday.

Between 20 to 40 kangaroos were tranquilized and then killed with lethal injections by defense contractors, said Angie Stephenson, project manager of Animal Liberation New South Wales. She said a baby kangaroo was trampled and killed when the animals were rounded up into a pen.

The Defense Department said last week it would begin culling the eastern gray kangaroos at the abandoned military site outside Canberra after a proposal to truck them to remote forest land proved too costly.

Authorities say the overabundant kangaroos are crowding out other native species, but many animal rights activists are against the killing of Australia's

Studying music in the city of the Meistersinger

Tradition and innovation

The Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg (Nuremberg University of Music) is the most recently established institution in Germany to offer an academic musical training, but it can look back on a long and firmly-rooted tradition.

The third State University of Music in Bavaria was inaugurated in Nuremberg in 2008. It was created from the Meistersinger-Konservatorium and the communal University of Music Nuremberg-Augsburg. Around 400 students are now trained here in the basic areas of study – musical performance and music education – in the heart of the metropolitan region of Nuremberg.

Courses are offered in all the orchestra instruments, but also in singing, piano, organ, guitar, accordion and classical saxophone. There is also a lively jazz department, which is


thoroughly integrated in the clubs of the city, and a department of early music, which regularly attracts unusual events to Nuremberg, thanks to its links throughout Europe.

Cooperation and autonomy

The department of Elementary Music Education (EMP) coordinates and creates projects in musical education for young people as well as adults. The symphony orchestra, the madrigal choir, the University of Music choir, the Big Band and many other chamber music ensembles and jazz groups enrich the cultural variety of the city. Together with the State Theatre the University of Music runs the International Opera Studio; Early Music Days and symposia take place regularly in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in co-operation with the University of Music. A study centre of the University of Music is being set up in Neumarkt/Oberpfalz.

Multiple qualifications andvocational orientation

As well as the high quality of its artistic training, the University of Music sees vocational orientation as an important aspect of its courses. In particular, multiple qualifications increase the employment opportunities of our graduates. In addition to classical orchestra and singing courses extra qualifications can be gained in the music education area in other instruments, in historical performance practice, in Elementary music education and also in directing choirs and ensembles.


on his debut album My Aim Is True.  These musicians were not credited on the release for contractual reasons; some contemporary publicity for the album identified Costello's backing band as "The Shamrocks".

Clover's Unavailable album was retitled Clover for North American release.  Later in 1977, Mickey Shine left the group.  For the group's second album of 1977, Love on the Wire, session drummer Tony Braunagel was employed, but was not an official member of the band.  This album was also produced by Lange, who co-wrote a few songs.  However, as with all other Clover releases, the album spun off no hits and did not chart.

Clover toured as the support group for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy and Graham Parker and the Rumour inCarter covered two of Clover's songs ("Love Is Gone" and "Mr. Moon," both written by Call), then later recorded two songs, "Ring Of Fire" and "Too Proud," with McFee, Ciambotti and Hopper.

Founding member Dr. John P. Ciambotti died on March 24, 2010, in Glendale, California, at the age of 67.  He had undergone surgery for an abdominal aneurysm.

Reunions
John McFee, John Ciambotti, and Sean Hopper reunited for two concerts backing Elvis Costello in San Francisco on November 8, 2007.  The drummer for the occasion was Pete Thomas of The Attractions.  The concerts raised funds for the Richard de Lone Special Housing Fund, a non-profit organization designed to help those with Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Republican nominee Donald Trump met with Mexican President Peña Nieto, accepting his invitation ahead of his major speech on immigration later tonight. It’s Trump’s first visit to a foreign country as the Republican Party’s standard-bearer.

In a press conference, which lasted just 33 minutes, President Nieto said that he and Trump had an open and honest discussion about a whole host of issues. He added that the North American Free Trade Agreement certainly has room for improvement when discussing free trade.

Nieto also said that the next president will find an ally in Mexico, and that they will accept and respect the election results come November. Touching upon illegal immigration, the Mexican president noted that illegal immigration from his country peaked a decade ago and has steadily declined, though heacknowledged that non-Mexicans have been going through his country to reach the United States; the mass surge from unaccompanied minors from Central America is a prime example. President Nieto also noted the border crisis he faces coming from the United States, citing thousands of weapons and millions of dollars flowing into Mexico that helps bolster the many drug cartels that dot the country.

He said that we need an integral approach at the border to stem the flow of illegal immigration, drugs, guns, and money. Nieto said he’s made progress on the border with the current Obama administration.

We have made progress on the border with President Obama, and declared that the new American administration can expect willingness and cooperation to make the border safer.

He closed by saying that as


president of Mexico, he has a responsibility to protect his citizens wherever they may be. That’s a responsibility he takes with passion. Nieto mentioned how Mexican-Americans are honest, hardworking people who deserve respect. Let’s work to make sure our cooperation is conducted with mutual respect when addressing the issues both our nations face.

Trump then thanked the Mexican president, saying it was an honor to be in his country. He said they has a serious dialogue about the impact of free trade, the half trillion dollars in annual trade that’s conducted, and the vast number of illegal border crossings that occur every day.

The Republican nominee said that the United States and Mexico share a common interest in keeping our hemisphere safe and prosperous. He said that the Mexican peopleare amazing, he employs many of them, and that they’re beyond reproach, with their emphasis on the values of faith, family, and community. Trump also acknowledged that it’s a very dangerous trek for those who are traveling thousands of miles to enter the United States—and that taking on drug cartels and human traffickers is a mutual interest.

Trump also said that he shared his views on NAFTA, adding that he told Nieto that he feels the free trade agreement has been better for Mexico than the U.S. He listed five things that can bring more prosperity and happiness to both nations.

White Sox OF Garcia to miss rest of season

CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia will miss the rest of the season after causing a tear in his left shoulder while trying to make a diving catch.

An MRI taken Thursday at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center revealed a torn labrum. He is scheduled to have surgery next week.

"Obviously, it's lousy," Chicago general manager Rick Hahn said. "It stinks for the kid, who is crushed right now. He's very disappointed. He was hoping this was going to be a temporary thing, but, obviously, understands the medical realities in front of us and what they are. He's taking it very hard."

"It stinks for White Sox fans, who are going to be deprived of the opportunity to see this kidon a daily basis this year. It's just one of the cruel realities of sports," he said.

The 22-year-old Garcia was hurt trying to grab DJ LeMahieu's drive to right field in the sixth inning of Wednesday's loss at Colorado. The ball was jarred loose when Garcia hit the ground.

The injury is a big blow to the White Sox, who are trying to bounce back from a 99-loss season. Garcia has batted .298 since being acquired from Detroit last summer in the three-team trade that sent Jake Peavy to Boston.

"It's tough when an injury happens. It's never easy," manager Robin Ventura said. "It's harder on him, especially him getting his first shot at it for a full year. Guys just have to keep going. But it's tough. You feel


LONDON — Grenfell Tower residents said they had warned about fire hazards for years before their London public housing project became a 24-story cinder. On Friday, they stormed the local government council, accusing officials first of ignoring them and then of leaving them without financial assistance and lodging, or even a rough accounting of their missing loved ones.

With scores of residents still unaccounted for since the early Wednesday fire, frustrated survivors demanded from government officials help and a roster — or at least the number — of tower residents.

Prime Minister Theresa May and Mayor Sadiq Khan were heckled on separate visits with survivors. The queen and Prince William, upon leaving a relief center for the victims, were subjected to calls of “What about the children?”on the other hand, students from Athens reported eating fewer fruit, vegetables and nuts. The adoption of unhealthy eating habits in each site was counterbalanced by a more 'healthy' dietary element, resulting in an overall similar MD adherence between both sites. Additionally, although weight status was indifferent between the two cities, higher rates of abdominal obesity were recorded in Istanbul, when the weight-to-height ratio was used for diagnosis. Differences in several domains of the KIDMED score were recorded among cities, possibly as results of food availability and prices. However, MD adherence and weight status appeared similar, indicating that the dietary transition and acculturation experienced by the remnants is actually very slow and minimal during the 93 years since population exchange.


and actions. The keystone of NATO is Article 5, which has typically been read as a commitment that in the event that one member of the alliance is attacked, all other members will come to its aid. When Trump visited NATO, he dedicated a plaque to the one time that Article 5 has been invoked — when all members of NATO promised to come to the United States’ support after the attack on Sept. 11, 2001. However, Trump did not express his commitment to Article 5 in his speech to NATO, instead lambasting other NATO members for not spending enough money on their militaries. When Trump went on to the Group of Seven meeting in Italy, he declined to recommit to the Paris agreement on climate change, leavingChefs on the move in Portland

The chef at the acclaimed Bresca restaurant in Portland has plans to open a snack shack in New Gloucester.

Bresca was still turning away reservations, and still getting rave reviews. Chef/owner Krista KernDesjarlais was even a finalist for a James Beard award in 2011.

So why did Desjarlais decide to close the doors of the critically acclaimed little restaurant at 111 Middle St. in May?

She’s opening a summertime snack shack, Bresca and the Honeybee, at Outlet Beach on Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester, the town where she lives with her husband and daughter.

This sweeping change was not just the whim of a bored chef. Everything that’s happened at Bresca in the past few months — scaling back dinners to two nights a week, starting a lunch service — was designed to help Desjarlais find some relief from her chronic migraines. It turns out that while she was creating those fine dining dishes Portlanders so enjoyed, she was often in massive pain.

the Blue Rooster Food Co. is planning to open a new restaurant called Sonnet.

Damian Sansonetti hasn’t exactly been twiddling his thumbs since he moved to Portland from New York City, where he worked for renowned chef Daniel Boulud for six years.

Upon landing in Maine, Sansonetti helped redesign the menu at Taco Escobarr, hosted a series of pop-up dinners and opened an over-the-top sandwich shop on Dana Street called Blue Rooster Food Co. that has things on the menu like “Farmers Breakfast Tots” — tater tots served with a fried local heritage duck egg, house-smoked bacon, pork heart pastrami and crispy pork skin.

There is more to come. Sansonetti is planning a new restaurant called Sonnet, which is both a play on his last name and a reflection of theto food after years of teaching and writing poetry. One of the people he tutored along the way was Cedric Vongerichten, son of renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The two struck up a friendship, and Vongerichten opened Levi’s eyes to what was possible with food. Levi’s interest in the culinary world dovetailed with his interest in ecology, and he began seeing how chefs could use ancient techniques like fermentation, dry aging, pickling and smoking to innovate “and make amazing food — food on the level of art that would be a moving experience and that would also be moving people in the direction of eating local, seasonal, sustainable food and wild foods that put them in touch with the land.”

drills, then struggled Wednesday before sitting out Thursday. He also received some attention from trainers in Tuesday's practice when he spent time getting his right arm stretched out.

Gabbert took the bulk of the reps with the first-team offense. Considering Kaepernick didn't throw in the spring and is working his way back from those injuries, it's entirely possible he has some arm fatigue, so a day off would make sense.

It's unclear whether Kaepernick will practice Friday against the Texans. Coach Chip Kelly has said a decision on which quarterback will start the preseason opener against Houston will be made after the practice week is complete.

-- The best (and only) tackle of the day came on the first play in team drills when an official got in running back Carlos Hyde's way and tripped Hyde. Both the official and Hyde went to the ground, but the official was worse for it. He had his knee wrapped in ice before finishing the practice.

There's still an enormous amount of work to do to make roads safer. In 2017, about 40,000 Americans were killed in motor vehicle fatalities. An additional 4.5 million people were injured seriously enough to require medical attention, according to the nonprofit National Safety Council.

Qualcomm, a company that's best known for making computer chips for smartphones, used its stage at the CES trade show in Las Vegas to highlight some of these stark numbers and offered a potential way to lower them.

George Buchanan Smith 1865-186?

The bible is the only evidence we have for the birth of George. He was born and died between census records. I have not been able to secure either the birth or death record for George yet. He was born in England as was John Kidd Smith.

A search for other children in Scotland produced no positive results.

This period is very important. His father was listed as an umbrella maker on the birth certificate of his brother in New Castle.

I have been unable to find the Smith family on a New Castle census record. We do not know why Alexander left Scotland to return later.space, two people, a man and woman, were wounded in a shooting in the parking lot of a Walmart in Tallahassee, Florida. It happened on Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year.

Walmart, the largest seller of firearms in America, expanded sales of guns from 1,300 to 1,750 stores -- about half of its U.S. fleet -- last year, according to Hargrove.

Walmart fired Martha Parker, the worker who sold Moore the ammunition, a few days after the shooting occurred. Parker claimed in court that she had not known the bullets were for the underage Moore, and thought she was selling them to his friend, Ladarius White, who was shopping with Moore. But the shooter claimed he had given White money in plain view and lied to say


he had forgotten his ID.

The court said that even if Parker knew she was selling to someone underage, Walmart wasn't responsible for the death because it was impossible to know that Moore would use the bullets to commit a violent crime. But dissenting judges argued that anyone could guess that a minor is more likely than an adult to misuse a firearm, the very reason why there is a law prohibiting young people from possessing guns in the first place.

"Though 18- to 20-year-olds make up only about 5 percent of the population, they account for about 20 percent of homicide and manslaughter arrests," said Daniel Vice, the chief attorney at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a non-profit that lobbies for gun control. "This was a flawedruling."

A 2005 law gives gun sellers and manufacturers broad protection against lawsuits. Gun control groups, like the Brady Center, have been fighting the law in courts ever since, Vice said.

The National Rifle Association, the largest gun rights lobby, did not return a request for comment Tuesday.

The NRA was behind the passage of the Gun Industry Immunity Bill so cases like the above cannot win against gun sellers. Shame on us for allowing that to happen. In the case of the 20 year old who bought the ammunition from a Walmart clerk and a judge ruling that the clerk could not have known the ammunition would be used in a shooting later, one does wonder about our gun culture. What would you imagine ammunition would be used for? The

"They're both waiting on authorities from Florida to come and start the extradition process," he said.

ABC 57 found tactical guns and .223 high-powered ammunition it promised not to sell. Now, because of our news report, the retail giant is now taking those guns off the shelves.

Common Council Vice President Oliver Davis held a phone conference with Wal-Mart on Monday morning. Davis said the store was very apologetic and eager to fix the problem.

Reverend Greg Brown, a local minister on the city's West side, became concerned about Wal-Mart’s gun sales after two of thekids in his youth group said they were offered $50 to steal ammunition from the store.

He said he'd waited in line for five hours, but they sold out before he could get one. Poe said he decided to go to the Oak Ridge Walmart before they sold out of the stereos.

As he was driving on Oak Ridge Highway between the Clinton and Oak Ridge city limits, Poe admitted to firing a gun at a woman's car who "wouldn't get out of my way."

The study looked at the adipose hormone aP2, which is increased in the circulation of humans and animals with obesity. It is involved in the body's inflammatory responses and previously has been shown to contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases associated with obesity, such as diabetes and heart disease. In previous research, the investigators detected increased aP2 levels in blood and lung fluid in mice with obesity.

In the new study, they measured aP2 levels in blood and lung fluid of people with and without asthma. They found aP2 levels were 25.4 percent higher in the blood of people who were affected by asthma and met the criteria for obesity or being overweight, compared with people without asthma.

Commuters who use the park-and-ride lot on the southwest quadrant of Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue will need to find a new place to leave their vehicles.

Metro Transit said it will close the 143-stall Lake Street/Midtown Park and Ride effective March 7.

The lot is popular for Blue Line riders, who can catch the train at the nearby Lake Street/Midtown Station. The station is also served by bus routes 21, 27 and 53.

Metro Transit is directing Blue Line customers to use free park-and-ride lots at Fort Snelling Station, or to consider using bus routes 7, 9, 11,14, 18 and 22, which provide connections from Lake Street to downtown Minneapolis and to Richfield and Bloomington.

The park and ride lot was never meant to be permanent, according to a traffic demandstudy conducted in December by Westwood Professional Services. In its study, it says the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization states that Metro Transit established the lot in 2004 a "temporary amenity" and that it was to be phased out as park and ride lots were opened outside the urban core.

However, it's been very popular. The Westwood study found that the lot was always fully occupied during peak morning and afternoon periods.

The park-and-ride lot and a building that once housed programs for the Minneapolis Public Schools is expected to give way to a mixed development plan that would include a new Hennepin County service center, market-rate housing, retail space and a transit plaza. The redevelopment known as the L&H Station is currently awaiting final approval.


RLD men hold city to ransom

Police barricaded several Lutyens’ Delhi roads and shut down a Metro station on Tuesday to prevent protests over a government order to Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Ajit Singh to vacate his official bungalow.

Police barricaded several Lutyens’ Delhi roads and shut down a Metro station on Tuesday to prevent protests over a government order to Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Ajit Singh to vacate his official bungalow.

RLD supporters planned a Mahapanchayat at the residence which the authorities termed illegal and detained several participants as they tried to march towards the site.

The blocking of major roads close to the bungalow caused traffic snarls in various parts of central and south Delhi during morning rush hours and a cascading effect was felt at INA, TeenMurti, Aurangzeb Road and several other roundabouts.

For over three decades, Singh has been staying in the sprawling Tughlak Road bungalow earlier occupied by his father – late prime minister and popular farmer leader Chaudhary Charan Singh.

When the Centre pressurised him to move out, Ajit Singh and his supporters demanded the house be turned into a memorial to Charan Singh.

This led to clashes between the police and RLD and Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) workers on September 19 that left about 200 farmers and policemen injured.

Singh, who lost the Lok Sabha election, was served an eviction notice and water and power supply to the bungalow was disconnected following orders from the urban development ministry.

The RLD chief has agreed to move to a three-bedroom house in south Delhi on Wednesday but

Penile paraffinoma.
A 40-year-old Caucasian man, originating from Ukraine, but living for the last year and a half in Portugal, presented to our department with a one year history of an irregular penile mass and phimosis. He reluctantly admitted that 8 years previously he had multiple mineral oil injections in the penis, for the purpose of penile enlargement. A diagnosis of penile paraffinoma was made and surgical excision was performed at the urology department. Paraffinoma results from mineral-oil injections: such practice is very rare in the western world nowadays, however, it still is performed in many Eastern European Countries.entire rebates to just 200 upliners out of more than 63,000 "active" distributors.

friend and I have both already told her we're not interested in becoming part of it but we wish her luck and hope it works out.

Distributors who stockpile products in large amounts and store them are considered garage qualified. This is typically done in order to receive large incentives or rewards from the company. It is usually the intention of the garage qualified distributor to sell or use the products at a later date, but the sale of the product is not guaranteed, and the distributor can be left with large amounts of the product without a sale. The term “garage qualified” derives from distributors who store the products in their own garages.

A bitter dispute among octogenarian business partners could put one of Arizona's largest privatecompanies in the legal limelight.

The dispute centers around prices charged by a unit of Forever Living Products, a Scottsdale-based multilevel-marketing business, to its affiliated company in Japan that is owned by two Americans.

The lawsuit also contends that the unit, Aloe Vera of America, engaged in smuggling and bribery of foreign customs officials and other infractions, although it doesn't cite any law-enforcement investigations on those counts.

Sharks firebrand prop Andrew Fifita may be conceding an error and a penalty per game this season but he is still content with his gradual return to form after his thoroughly disrupted pre-season.

In his five games so far in 2015, Fifita has averaged 153 metres and 31 tackles and is slowly returning to where he wants his form to be.

However he is getting sick of comparisons to his breakout season two years ago, when he played the entire State of Origin series with New South Wales as well as six Tests for Australia in the Kangaroos' victorious World Cup campaign.

Fifita is instead focused on overcoming any confidence issues he has in his left arm, after breaking both bones in the arm late last season.

"Everyone keeps referring back torepresentative football in mind just yet.

What he is instead focused on is playing well for the Sharks – who won their first game of the season against premiership heavyweights in the Roosters on Easter Sunday – alongside his brother David.

While Fifita said the excitement of playing alongside his twin was lost over the course of his injury-wretched 2014 season, he is thrilled it is happening consistently this year.

"It's a dream come true. But I think we kind of got over the fanfare of it last year. I didn't get to play with him but he was named alongside me and at the end of the day I have 15 other brothers out there," Fifita said.

"[David] is going really well though – he's running hard, he's doing the little


The challenger blames the government shutdown on Ryan. Shooting victim's son plans run

Democrat Amar Kaleka, whose father was killed in last year’s suburban Milwaukee Sikh temple massacre, announced on Monday that he will try to unseat GOP Rep. Paul Ryan in 2014.

Kaleka, a documentary film maker, told the Associated Press that he would formally launch his campaign against Ryan, House Budget Committee chairman and 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, in November.

“There’s a fever in the nation, and specifically in this district, for our leaders to stop playing politics and do their jobs,” he said. “All I want to do is bring democracy — a government of, for and by the people — back to America.”

Kaleka’s father, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was one of five people killed when a whitesupremacist opened fire at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in August 2012.

Unseating Ryan won’t be easy. The eighth-term Republican typically skates to reelection. In 2012, he defeated Democrat Rob Zerban — who attacked Ryan for his controversial plan to reform Medicare and Social Security and for leaving the district to wage a national campaign — by 12 percentage points.


Effects of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers on the sealing of root canal fillings.
The ability of the laser irradiation to promote the cleaning and disinfection of the radicular canal system has become this type of treatment in a viable and real alternative in endodontics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the apical marginal sealing of root canal fillings after the irradiation with the laser of Nd:YAG or of Er:YAG. Forty-two human, extracted single-rooted teeth had their crowns sectioned and the root canals prepared with a no. 70 K-file. Then, they were dried and divided into three groups according to canal wall treatment: group 1: the canals were filled with EDTA for 3 min, followed by irrigation with 1% sodium hypochlorite solution; group 2: the canal walls werein 2020.

Looking state-by-state at the 2020 presidential race, the groundswell of Trump’s Hispanic popularity solidifies the president’s re-election prospects. A Trump gain to 40% of the Hispanic vote -- a very realistic goal at this point – could effectively seal repeat wins in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona. Winning those states means the Democratic nominee must clean-sweep the 2016 Trump states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Moreover, even that upper Midwest sweep would not be enough if Trump’s ascent with Hispanics puts in play Nevada and Colorado, states with large Latino populations that Clinton won by low single digits last election.

For decades, Republicans have chased the “holy grail” of votes from Hispanics, a group that naturally should align with the conservative principles of entrepreneurial capitalism, strong borders,

Evolution of gas-filled nanocracks in crystalline solids.
In this work, the evolution of gas-filled cracks under gas implantation and subsequent annealing is studied on the basis of an elastic continuum approach. The observed growth limitation of He-filled nanocracks in SiC is attributed to their stabilization by the formation of circular dislocation dipoles. The formation and Ostwald ripening of bubble-loop complexes at elevated temperatures is modeled in terms of gas atom exchange between such complexes coupled with local matrix atom exchange between bubbles and loops of the same complex. The scaling laws derived for the time dependence of bubble and loop sizes are found to be in good agreement with experimental data.is now prepared to render the following ruling.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND
The following undisputed facts have been gleaned from the parties' briefing. Plaintiff is a family-owned excavation and paving company headquartered in Spanish Fork, Utah. In 1994 and 1995, plaintiff performed site preparation, fill, and compaction construction for the building of the Spanish Fork Middle School. It did so under a contract with the Nebo School District. Plaintiff completed the work, and Mr. Earl M. Davis, son of founder Harry Davis and now head of the company, was satisfied that the work had been done properly at the time it was completed.
Shortly thereafter, however, it was discovered that the soils placed by plaintiff were not sufficiently compacted. Although it must be presumed that plaintiff had some responsibility for this problem, the


plaintiff with a letter detailing its investigation, reserving its rights, and denying coverage.
While plaintiff and defendant were involved with insurance coverage issues, a dispute developed between Nebo School District and Gramoll Construction Company, the company hired to build the Spanish Fork Middle School. Gramoll claimed it had suffered substantial damage resulting from Nebo's undue delay in completing the construction of the school building. Ultimately, Gramoll obtained an arbitration award against Nebo.
In February 1999, the Nebo School District notified plaintiff that the district intended to pursue a claim against plaintiff relative to the Spanish Fork Middle School project. Defendant was not informed about and did not independently investigate *1082 the factual contentions supporting Nebo's specific claim against plaintiff. Correspondence in the record reveals that defendant confirmed receipt of informationgeneral procurement statute, as a basis for this court's action. Plaintiffs argument is without merit, and MGA is inapposite.
In the end, "completed operations coverage" is an exclusion that applies only if there is "property damage" pursuant to the Policy. The court has ruled against plaintiff on this issue.

F. Does defendant's alleged "abandonment" of plaintiff during plaintiff's negotiations with Nebo School District impact the interpretation of the Policy?

Finally, plaintiff claims that, despite defendant's September 1995 letter denying coverage, defendant somehow had a duty to come to plaintiffs aid when, in February 1999, Nebo School District sought reimbursement from plaintiff to pay the arbitration award in favor of Gramoll Construction Company. Plaintiff contends defendant abandoned it, forcing it to settle with Nebo, despite having possible meritorious defenses. Plaintiff, additionally, attacks

After joining the club as a National Youth League player in 2011, Brown joined the professional ranks in January 2013 and impressive performances in the first team has seen him rewarded with a new three-year deal.

"I'm a Brisbane boy, I've got a lot of passion for this club so it's great to sign for the next three years," the 21 year-old said.

"It was an easy decision for me – my hometown club, it's a great environment to learn and develop, and I'm around my family and the lads."

Brown credited interim coach Frans Thijssen - who replaced Mike Mulvey at the helm late last year - with "recharging" Roar


as the defending champion targets a move into the top six by making it three straight wins after the Asian Cup break when it visits Central Coast Mariners on Friday night.

The Mariners will be without striker Mitchell Duke, who has transferred to J.League outfit Shimizu S-Pulse, but former Adelaide United winger Fabio Ferreira is set to make his first appearance for his new club.

"They're having an average season but they're always dangerous," Brown said of the Mariners.

Frozen out of the team during Mulvey's reign, Brown has made nine starts since Thijssen took over with veteran Shane Stefanutto shifted to central defence after the departure of skipper Matt Smith.

"The new coach has come in and has new ideas and a new philosophy. I think it's recharged the team," Browncan get call ups to the national team.

"It's a massive ambition of mine to play for the Socceroos one day and I feel that being here can help me reach my goal."

Brisbane Roar Director of Football Ken Stead said Brown’s new contract exhibited just how the three-times A-League champion was committed to the development of young footballers in Queensland.

"Corey is a prime example of this – he captained the Young Roar, he made his senior debut in the AFC Champions League in 2012 and now is performing at a consistently high level for our A-League side," Stead said.


a consistent cultural pattern, the concept of interest-driven learning is fairly new. One anecdote from Mimi Ito's lecture: "Facebook is a collection of people you went to school with. Tumblr is a collection of people you wish you went to school with." Sites like Tumblr and Reddit allow users to categorize their online interaction by interest with an unprecedented accessibility that has allowed many young members to discover and grow their unique self-identities. A member of the Carnegie Mellon University administration pointed out an observation that each freshman class in the last few years seems more self-aware than the last, not in their decisions regarding the future, but rather their passions and interests that they wish to foster at the university with their time and independence. Mimi Itospeaks at length about the growth of these communities and how the education system can leverage this self-awareness and connect it to academic achievement.

In one of her studies, Mimi Ito examines the Nintendo franchise Pokemon to show the levels of social and intellectual complexity young students can attain. Young members were navigating through the diverse world in the game, optimizing their team, adapting to challenges, and connecting with friends. This combination of engagement, complexity, and interactivity exploded into trading cards, national competitions and television shows and other media to draw in young members. Many adults in their 20s and 30s still fondly remember their initial foray into the Pokemon world and can probably name more Pokemon and facts from the world than what they learned an entire year

Tourism rebounds in Turkey as visitor profile shifts east

Nancy Siegers and her partner Cemil Deniz opened a hotel in central Antalya days before the Turkish lira collapsed in August 2018. Siegers, a Dutch national living in Turkey, said business was rough through the fall and winter at her boutique hotel in the historic Kaleici district, but she has seen a gradual turnaround in recent months.

Speaking inside the family home-turned-bed & breakfast, which she named “Nensie’s” in line with Turkish phonetics, Siegers said her rooms were fully booked for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The rise in summer bookings had been a welcome surprise.

“We are very happy that this was a successful holiday for us,” Siegers told Al-Monitor. “For the first year, I guess we’re doing quite well.”

Downthe street, Siegers and Deniz have also been running Cay-Tea’s Lunchroom for the last five years. She said business is recovering there as well after visitor numbers dropped steeply in 2016 following a spate of political instability in Turkey.

Her experience reflects wider trends in the nation’s tourism industry, which had grown exponentially in the 2000s before peaking in 2014 and then falling as result of multiple terror attacks, including one at Ataturk airport in June 2016, and economic fallout spurred by domestic and foreign policy tensions.

Yet Turkey’s tourism sector appears to be rebounding. In the first six months of 2019, the number of foreign visitors in Turkey rose 11.3% year-on-year, according to the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. During the recent Eid Al-Adha holiday, some resort areas

MH17: Dutch father - 'Thank you for killing my daughter'

Ukrainian woman adds her floral tribute to the mountain of flowers for MH17 victims placed at the Dutch embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, 21 July 2014 - EPA

THE HAGUE: A bereaved Dutch father has written a savagely ironic open letter to whoever shot down Flight MH17, "thanking" them for killing his 17-year-old daughter Elsemiek, "my dear and only child".

"Thank you very much Mr (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, separatist leaders or the Ukrainian government, for murdering my dear and only child," Hans de Borst said in the letter published by Dutch media on Monday.

"Suddenly she's gone. Shot out of the sky in a foreign war-torn country," De Borst said of Thursday's crash, in which 298 people died including 193 Dutch.

The crashhas been widely blamed on a missile fired by pro-Kremlin separatists allegedly supplied by Russia, but Moscow blames the Ukraine government.

Kavanaugh will ultimately play in refereeing the legal disputes over that climate rule. But with a lifetime appointment to the court where many of the administration's most controversial environmental rules are challenged, his environmental opinions are certain to have lasting impacts.

'Auxiliary solicitor general'

Kavanaugh's track record on big clean air cases has given the left reason to fret.

In late 2012, after the D.C. Circuit upheld a suite of EPA's early greenhouse gas regulations, Kavanaugh penned his own lengthy opinion dissenting from his colleagues. He argued that EPA "exceeded its statutory authority" and said the whole court should have reheard the case.

The Supreme Court later agreed to hear the case and struck down portions of EPA's permitting regime that Kavanaugh, too, had found objectionable.

In a 5-4 vote, the court's conservativewing ruled in 2014 that EPA couldn't force stationary facilities to obtain air pollution permits and install pollution controls based solely on their emissions of greenhouse gases. The court also ruled that EPA unlawfully interpreted the Clean Air Act when it revised the greenhouse gas emission thresholds that trigger permitting rules for factories, for power plants and on industrial facilities.

Kavanaugh had laid out similar reasoning in his at-times sharply worded dissent. "In my view, EPA's reading of the statute was impermissible," he wrote in 2012. "An agency cannot adopt an admittedly absurd interpretation and discard an eminently reasonable one."

While he strongly repudiated the agency's legal rationale, he noted that the climate regulations in question "may well be a good idea as a matter of policy. The task of


April 29, 2014).

"He doesn't always win; that's one point that's important," said Simon Lazarus, senior counsel at the Constitutional Accountability Center.

Not all of Kavanaugh's opinions have angered environmentalists.

In a 2014 ruling, Kavanaugh wrote a majority opinion that vacated part of an EPA rule for cement kilns that shielded polluters from lawsuits if they exceeded emission limits during malfunctions, a move that greens welcomed. Industry groups, too, applauded that ruling (Greenwire, April 18, 2014).

And he signed on to a 2013 opinion finding that EPA's 2011 retroactive veto of a major West Virginia mountaintop-removal mining project was legal (Greenwire, April 23, 2013).

"He's been assigned to some high-profile cases in which the EPA was acting particularly aggressively and which presented particularly difficult legal issues," Adler said.

Ultimately, Kavanaugh is someone who "reallywants to get the legal questions right and doesn't worry too much about where that leads him," Adler said. "I don't think he's a consistent vote against EPA; I don't think he's a consistent vote against regulation."

'Political animal'?

Kavanaugh's judicial tenure began with a political splash.

He was assistant to President George W. Bush and the White House staff secretary in 2003 when the president nominated him to the appeals court. The pick infuriated congressional Democrats, who painted him as a right-wing ideologue.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) in 2006 called Kavanaugh the "go-to guy among young Republican lawyers appearing at the epicenter" of many controversial issues.

Kavanaugh, who was 41 at the time, had helped the Bush White House fill judicial posts with conservatives and was one of the authors of the


"Starr report" issued in 1998 that argued for President Clinton's impeachment.

Brett Kavanaugh

"[I]f there has been a partisan political fight that needed a very bright legal foot soldier in the last decade, Brett Kavanaugh was probably there," Schumer said during Kavanaugh's 2006 confirmation hearing. At a previous hearing about Kavanaugh in 2004, Schumer had called the nomination "not just a drop of salt in the partisan wounds, it is the whole shaker."

At a speech earlier this year, Kavanaugh recalled those salt comments. "It's good to have your mom at these hearings," he said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "She said, 'I think he really respects you.' Gotta love your mom."

Despite Democrats' long-running complaints, Kavanaugh was ultimately confirmed in 2006.

And in his first decade on the bench, lawyers onhe be a controversial nominee? I don't know."

Kavanaugh spent a stint at the high court himself; he was a clerk for Justice Anthony Kennedy from 1993 until 1994. He now manages an annual basketball game at the Supreme Court that pits its clerks against D.C. Circuit clerks. Kavanaugh and Sri Srinivasan -- an Obama appointee to the D.C. Circuit -- are the only judges who play.

And Kavanaugh is known as a "feeder judge," whose clerks often score clerkships with Supreme Court justices.

Kavanaugh hails from Bethesda, Md.; he's the only child of Martha and Ed Kavanaugh. He credits his mother, who was a state prosecutor and judge, with influencing his career path. His father was the longtime head of the trade association representing the cosmetic, toiletries and fragrance industries.

In


2004, Kavanaugh married Ashley Estes, who also worked in the Bush White House as the president's personal secretary. President Bush and first lady Laura Bush (along with their weapon-wielding Secret Service detail) attended their wedding ceremony at Christ Church in Georgetown, The Washingtonian reported. The Kavanaughs have two daughters.

People who know Kavanaugh describe him as a friendly, personable guy.

"Judge Kavanaugh is a real pleasure to appear before -- he's very well prepared and poses thoughtful, incisive questions in a courteous and engaging way," said Sean Donahue, an attorney who frequently represents environmental groups before the D.C. Circuit and who clerked for former Justice John Paul Stevens when Kavanaugh was also a Supreme Court clerk.

consideration in the form of payments for surveys, services, or fees. The definition of "premium" does not turn on the identity of the recipients of the consideration. The statute's purpose is largely established by the legislative history of section 2513, which indicates that the term was enacted into law in 1939 in response to the Supreme Court's 1938 decision in Johnson that precluded states from taxing insurance premiums that insure against risks that have, at most, an indirect connection to the jurisdiction in which the tax is imposed. When, as in the case of section 2513, the Legislature enacts into law a new statutory term in direct response to a Supreme Court decision, the term's purpose is readily discerned. See Philip Talmadge, A New Approach to Statutory Interpretationas a "split in the premium"....

Not surprisingly, there is no mention of escrow or closing fees in the Appellate Division's decision denying Stewart Title's reconsideration

Even “Famous” Elephants Are at Risk

In June, the international conservation community mourned the loss of one of the more famous wild elephants in Africa — Satao, a large male elephant “tusker” who lived in Kenya’s Tsavo National Park (tuskers are bull elephants with huge tusks). Poachers tracked down the wily old elephant beloved by many — whom wildlife agents had for years tried to protect — and killed him for his tremendous tusks. His death attracted international media attention and galvanized the conservation community.


Baltimore Grand Prix: More bidders join the frayUPDATE Two Baltimore-based contractors -- including a former race car driver-- have also proposed taking over the Baltimore Grand Prix and repaying some of the debts accumulated by the race's former promoters.

Sharon R. Grinnell, president of sGrinnell Enterprises LLC of Owings Mills, and Gregory K. O'Neill, vice president of BMW Construction Specialists of Curtis Bay, approached city officials early last month about organizing the city's IndyCar race.

The Baltimore Sun obtained a copy of the proposal that their group, Baltimore Motorsports Group, LLC, submitted to the city.

"We're the home team," Grinnell said in a phone interview. "Many of our team members have experience running businesses on a day-to-day basis."

Sources say that city officials have zeroed in on a group led by Indianapolis-basednot on our side," said Cole, who worked closely with the organizers of last year's race. "The hourglass of time is slipping away."

After city officials asked for proposals to take over the race early last month, only two groups responded: Dillon's team and an organization led by Geoff Whaling, who had worked on a Toronto race, sources said.

Officials focused on the proposal offered by Dillon, a familiar face to IndyCar racing executives and to city leaders, who say he won their trust during preparations for last year's race.

Dillon, who had previously built tracks for IndyCar races in St. Petersburg, Fla. and Toronto, came to Baltimore weeks before the Labor Day event. Dillon served as general manager for Baltimore Racing Development, the organizer, in the month preceding the racing


festival, and city officials credit him with pulling the event off despite leadership struggles among the company's top executives.

To organize this year's race, Dillon is reportedly teaming up with Felix Dawson, owner of investment firm Wilkes Lane Capital and an investor in Baltimore Racing Development.

Amy Konrath, a spokeswoman for the IndyCar racing league, declined to comment Thursday, saying the organization would remain silent "until the city has made an announcement." In the past, IndyCar officials have praised Dillon's work on races.

His company, Dillon Construction Co., is headquartered in Indianapolis, as is IndyCar.

Deputy Mayor Kaliope Parthemos, who is leading the city's negotiations, has said she hopes to present a contract to the city's spending board by mid-February. That would give a new team about six months to conclude sponsorshipdeals, market and sell tickets, and arrange logistics for the three-day festival.

Late last year, city officials yanked Baltimore Racing Development's five-year contract to organize the race, citing outstanding debts to city and state authorities, vendors and investors. According to internal documents compiled late last year, the company owes an estimated $12 million, including $1.5 million in city taxes and fees.

The race, which attracted more than 110,000 ticket-holders, was hailed as a success by IndyCar executives, who had been seeking a toehold in the Mid-Atlantic market.

Both IndyCar leaders, who have committed to 17 races in Baltimore and other locales in the coming season, and city officials, who invested more than $7 million in race preparations, have been pushing hard to continue the race.

Rawlings-Blake's administration has touted an estimated $47


million of economic impact that rippled through the region as a result of the race, according to a city-commissioned study.

Whaling, who submitted the second proposal to organize the event, said he had been largely ignored by the city. The chief executive officer of North American Motorsport Events Inc. submitted a 68-page-plan for the race earlier this week and said he has not yet received a response from the city.

Whaling's team proposes creating a nonprofit organization to run the race and would not assume any debt from last year's race. His proposal anticipates the race continuing to lose money for the next two years, before turning a profit the following year.

"I haven't heard a word from the mayor's office," since submitting the proposal, said Whaling.

County sinks outdoor rec program

Intends to save money, encourage private firms

The outdoor activities of Carbon County Recreation - which include guided trips to Range Creek, rafting trips in Desolation Canyon, snow shoeing lessons, rock climbing classes - are ending. One employee has been laid off and the equipment will be sold.

"We are closing them down right away," said Country Recreation Director Steve Christensen, as he reviewed the soon-to-be published Leisure Guide the department puts out a few times a year. "The rental equipment and those types of things will be sold at surplus."

According to County Commissioner Jae Potter, the elimination of the program was a decision county commissioners made based on revenues and budgetary concerns. Because of that, the department has also laid off one employee.

"This is aboutwhen it wore out was pretty high. We were looking at replacing a couple of the rafts and the costs were over $10,000."

He said that the county will save $100,000 a year by not running the outdoor programs.

"I just think our recreation program ought to focusing on groups that can come into town like ball tournaments and things like that," said Potter. "They will bring money to our community."

But there are some that are very concerned about the end of the outdoor programs.

Dennis Willis, who retired from the Bureau of Land Management a few years ago, and who was their outdoor recreation planner, said the demise of the outdoor program will be a blow to the area, both in terms of visitation and the economy.

"For many people who


came here it was their first experience in the area," said Willis. "This area has a lot to offer, but many people don't know much about it. That program was an introduction not only to locals but to many from other places."

Willis maintains that the program was one of the best ways to boost tourism to Carbon County, because those from the area and from out of the area who participated all told others about their experiences and it drew others here.

"These people who had experiences have been some of the best boosters for the county," he said.

Willis said more than that, giving great experiences though, the program also taught proper ways to use the outdoors and to be safe.

Food stamps have long been a favorite whipping boy of politicians looking to beat up on government spending. But the massive food-assistance program does help keep people out of poverty, according to new research.

Food stamp benefits led to a decline of 4.4 percent in poverty from 2000 to 2009, according to a new report from the USDA's Economic Research Service.

The impact was particularly strong for children, who are more likely to live in poverty than adults. Child poverty was reduced by 15.5 percent, on average. The researchers also looked at the depth and severity of poverty, and found that severity was reduced by 21 percent. They say looking at this gives a better measure of the role of food stamps in


Michael Bond, the genial British author who created Paddington Bear, the polite, good-natured but disaster-prone little hero of children’s novels, picture and activity books, television series, and films, died on Tuesday at his home in London. He was 91.

The death was announced by his publisher, Harper Collins, which said that Mr. Bond had died after a short illness. It did not specify a cause.

Mr. Bond lived in the Maida Vale section of London, not far from Paddington Station, where his fictional creation’s story began. “Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform” were the first words of “A Bear Called Paddington,” published in Britain in 1958. The small brown bear is spotted at that station, seated on an old leather suitcase and wearing a tagJae-in last month, Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his commitment to the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

But the phrase is a diplomatic euphemism open to interpretation on both sides.

"We already expressed our willingness for a denuclearised Korean peninsula and repeatedly declared that the US must end its hostile DPRK policy and nuclear threats as preconditions," the minister Kim said.

In the past, Pyongyang has demanded the withdrawal of the US troops stationed in the South to protect it from its neighbour, and an end to Washington's nuclear umbrella over its security ally.

Kim Kye Gwan also blasted US National Security Advisor John Bolton, who has spoken of a "Libyan model" for North Korean denuclearisation.

It was a "highly sinister attempt to enforce the fate of Libya and Iraq upon the DPRK," Kim


Iverson ready to face the Nuggets

Allen Iverson isn't exactly emotional over his only trip this season to the Mile High City, certainly not like Chauncey Billups will be when he returns to the Motor City in two months.

"It's just another game for me. I've been in the league 13 years," Iverson said of Friday night's game at the Pepsi Center between Detroit and Denver, who teamed up in November for the season's biggest trade.

Unless these teams beat the long odds and meet up again in the NBA Finals, it's Iverson's only chance to see the new-look Nuggets that he left behind when he was shipped to the Pistons in exchange for Billups.

"It's going to be good to be back with the fans that had supported me," Iverson said."I have a lot of good memories from playing there."

Nothing like hoisting a trophy or snipping the nets, though.

The AI experiment with fellow All-Star Carmelo Anthony didn't work out. Although the Nuggets won 50 games last year, they went 1-8 with Iverson in the playoffs after acquiring him from Philadelphia in the middle of the 2006-07 season. The attendance jump they anticipated never materialized and neither did the success they envisioned.

It turns out the best thing about Iverson's 22-month stay in Denver was his trade value.

The Nuggets are thriving under the leadership of Billups, a native son who is as good for the organization in the community as he is for the team on the court. Coach George Karl finally has the true point guard he's coveted for
