{7} On the same evening as the basketball game, two witnesses saw Defendant in the neighborhood where the victim's home is located. This neighborhood is within walking distance of the basketball arena. One witness testified that she first saw Defendant at her brother's house. At that time, Defendant was wearing a white t-shirt that said "Sox" and had cartoon characters of a bunny and a coyote on it. According to the witness, *145 Defendant was "acting normal" when she saw him at her brother's house, and he told her that he was supposed to be in prison. Later that evening, the witness saw the prison van passing through the neighborhood, and someone in the van told her they were looking for Defendant.
{8} About an hour after shehad seen Defendant at her brother's house, the witness saw Defendant again while standing on a corner in the same neighborhood. The witness could no longer see if Defendant was wearing the same t-shirt because he wore a fastened jacket. She testified that she told Defendant the prison van was looking for him, and that "he said he wasn't going to go back." According to the witness, Defendant was acting "panicky, like nervous"; he said he was scared and kept looking back down the street in the direction of the victim's house.
{9} Another witness also was present on the street corner when this conversation took place. She testified that the conversation occurred around 10:00 p.m., and she confirmed that Defendant was "jittery" at that time; he was "moving


back and forth" and "kept looking back up the street." After the conversation on the street corner, Defendant walked down the street away from the witnesses.
{10} Later that night, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Officer Augustine Sena attempted to make a routine traffic stop after observing a car travel through a four-way stop without stopping. The car he was pursuing made an abrupt turn into an alleyway and crashed into a fence. Officer Sena called for backup and turned on his spotlight and high beams which illuminated the interior of the car. He observed three occupants: a female in the back seat, a male in the front passenger seat, and a tall, black male driver who climbed out the passenger door and "took off running." From the car's licensehad missed her doctor's appointment. Her car was not in the driveway when they arrived, and the wrought-iron door on the house was open. After entering the house, they looked through the doorway to the den and saw the victim's body lying in a pool of blood. They also discovered that the contents of her purse had been dumped out in the bedroom. The victim's son became upset; he threw down his glasses and a phone book but did not touch the body. His friend called 911 and summoned the police.
{13} Officer Wade Aubuchon was dispatched to the scene at 11:39 a.m. He saw the two men flagging him down outside the victim's house. They were upset, and Officer Aubuchon instructed them to wait outside on the sidewalk


by their car. Officer Aubuchon proceeded into the house and observed a woman lying on the floor, face down on her stomach, with her legs bent up at a ninety-degree angle. An electrical cord was wrapped around her ankles, leading toward her shoulders and neck. A bloody towel covered her head and shoulders. In the room where the body was found, he saw various items scattered on the floor, including a glass ashtray with blood on it. In addition, the bedroom appeared as if it had been ransacked. After paramedics arrived and determined that the victim was dead, Officer Aubuchon secured the area around her house.
{14} Frank Ciaccio, a senior deputy medical investigator, arrived at the scene to examine the victim's body. He also observed the victim inthe den on her stomach with a towel over her head and an electrical extension cord tied around her neck and ankles. The extension cord had blood stains on it. It appeared that there had been a struggle. *146 There was a broken ashtray in front of the body, a bloody shirt on the couch, and the victim's slippers and dentures were scattered on the floor. While examining the body at the scene, he noted a contusion around the victim's eye, several lacerations on her head, and a ligature mark on her neck.
{15} The victim's body was transported to the Office of the Medical Investigator, where the State's chief medical investigator, Dr. Ross Zumwalt, performed the autopsy on January 15, 1994. Dr. Zumwalt opined that the death was


head injuries probably occurred first, and then the other injuries followed when the victim was tied up and strangled. He testified that if the victim was rendered unconscious by the head injuries and had difficulty breathing due to her age or a physical condition such as broken ribs, then she would be unable to untie herself, and the weight and position of her ankles would keep enough pressure on the extension cord to strangle her to death. He further testified that it would take several minutes for the strangulation to kill her.
{19} Officer Greg Hagel of the Albuquerque Police Department also examined the physical evidence found in the victim's home on the morning of January 14, 1994. He observed a heavy, faceted crystal ashtray with blood on itin the room where the victim's body was found. He also observed blood on the sole of one of the victim's slippers, indicating that the victim had stepped in blood before being killed. A large blood stain appeared to lead across the room from a doorway, and it appeared that someone had attempted to wipe it up or pull something through it. Officer Hagel found a crumpled t-shirt on the couch next to the victim's body, and it appeared that someone had used the t-shirt to wipe something. Another witness later identified this t-shirt as the same "Sox" t-shirt with cartoon characters on it that she had seen Defendant wearing on the evening of January 13.
{20} After Dr. Zumwalt had finished examining the victim's body, Officer Hagel examined


the extension cord that was tied around the victim's neck and ankles to determine if it contained any fingerprints. He located a partial palm print on the blood-stained surface of the female end of the extension cord. Although he described it as "difficult" and "fragile," Officer Hagel was able to positively identify the print on the extension cord as Defendant's palm print. In response to the question of why Defendant's fingerprints were not found elsewhere in the house, Officer Hagel stated that Defendant could have worn gloves, but it might have been necessary to remove one of the gloves in order to tie the extension cord. Officer Hagel later found a pair of gloves in the victim's car.
{21} The palm print found on the extension cord also wasto ship in August 2013 on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS devices. Android and the OUYA console versions will follow shortly after. New episodes are planned for release every 75 days, with a total of six episodes in the series.

As you can see, the options for vacation destinations in November are plentiful, so to give you a little helping hand, we've rounded up a nice mix of cool destinations in November where you can enjoy a lovely vacation. They're as follows:

New England is also one of the best November destinations in the country as it offers many opportunities for outdoor pursuits like hiking and biking. You'll also find some of the best places to enjoy a road trip in the US, and the month of November is such a great time for fun road trips of New England to explore the charming villages and picturesque landmarks such as lighthouses along the coastline of Maine and New Hampshire.

In fact, one of the top things to do in Novemberduring a vacation in New England it’s to go for scenic drives to places such as the Green Mountain Forest in Vermont, and Acadia National Park which boasts stunning views of the ocean.

By the way, Acadia National Park is one of the top places to visit in Maine, and without a doubt, one of the most popular destinations in November where you can experience fall season in New England.

Western Europe

Western Europe is one of the best regions to explore during the month of November since tourist crowds are fewer, hotel prices are slashed by half, and airfare deals are plentiful!

If you're looking for best destinations in November in Europe, there are plenty of destinations to choose from such as Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, the stunning Algarve region


of Portugal and Marseille along the French Riviera.

For us, Portugal is definitely one of the top places to visit in Europe in November, asPortugal boasts a ton of great events and festivals such as the National Horse Fair in Golega, the International Chocolate Festival in Obidous, and the Guimaraes Jazz Festival.

China

As far as best destinations in November in Asia, the country of China is truly king this time of the year!

China is one of the most popular destinations to travel in November, and cities such as Taipei Taiwan, Shanghai and Beijing, and Hong Kong enjoy lovely warm weather and fewer crowds which is great if you’re looking to enjoy quieter attractions such as The Forbidden City and The Great Wall in Beijing.

In Shanghai, some popular places to visitin November include the famous landmark of The Bund and Jin Mao Tower which is Shanghai’s second tallest building.

However, most people that travel to China in November are looking to enjoy the fall foliage. Beijing is perhaps one of the best November destinations in China where you can enjoy the fall foliage in the first two weeks of November, as well as the China's ancient water towns.

Places such as Fragrant Mountain and Beijing Badachu Park are two ideal places where you can enjoy the leaf color change.

Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island (PEI) is one of the best destinations in November to enjoy the fall foliage, as the region is known for boasting the longest fall season in North America. You can watch beautiful red maple and cherry trees


leafs change color .

Another reason why Prince Edward Island is one of the best destinations in November is that it's one of the best locations for watching the fall foliage. Also, PEI is less crowded and less expensive to enjoy a fall foliage vacation than other places in the US such as Vermont in New England.

Ontario Canada

There is no question that Canada is one of the best destinations in November to getaway in North America, though the southern part of the Ontario Province in Canada is one of the best destinations if you're a leaf-peeper looking to enjoy the fall foliage.Mr WEE had an illustrious career in the Education Service spanning 40 years.

Speedo Review

By Christopher Null

Ed Jager is "Speedo," a loser of a demolition derby driver who's impossible not to love.

Speedo is a Long Island hick, a gas station mechanic who loves his kids only slightly more than he loves winning the big $1,000 prize at the weekend demo derby. He's a truly devoted father: Ed hasn't slept in the same room as his wife for 10 years, but he won't get a divorce because he doesn't want his parents to come from a broken home. Meanwhile, Ed spends every free moment working on his junker cars down at the garage, reinforcing them and bending them back into shape in the hopes that he'll be the last car standing come the next derby.

Speedo is a film about the demo races,


tracking Jager for about a year, but it's also a story about a sad sack with everyday problems -- stuff that you or I can relate to (if not directly, at least obliquely). He's got financial woes, relationship woes, his son dyes his hair pink and fronts a heavy metal band, wearing duct tape in lieu of a shirt. And toward the end of Jesse Moss's 80-minute investigation of Moss's life, Speedo has begun to change. He finally moves out (in fact, he sells the mouse without telling his wife), he meets a new gal, and he eventually gets out of demo and into stock car racing. Will Speedo end up better off than before? His life is such a wreck (ho ho!), it can't help but getColumbia University Student Joel Davis, who organized a protest against Mike Cernovich’s talk about Columbia, has pled guilty to having sex with a minor.

Filmmaker launches new Verdi film at Park Slope’s Casa Duse

By Nino Pantano

For Brooklyn Daily Eagle

On the evening of Thursday, May 30, a large crowd arrived at Casa Duse to celebrate special clips of a new film entitled “27.” It was made to launch the bicentennial of the great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) whose 27 operas are as inspiring and thrilling now as they were then.

Our host, architect, journalist and filmmaker August Ventura, told his guests that the Casa Duse, a limestone townhouse built in 1896 and located at 16 Prospect Park West, was purchased by the noted actor, artist and mentor to many, Martin Waldron. Waldron was a passionate opera lover and close friend of the incomparable soprano


Zinka Milanov. He owned the house from 1958 until his death in 2009.

For decades, through Waldron’s largesse, diva Joan Sutherland and her husband, conductor Richard Bonynge, lived at the Casa Duse. Opera greats Luciano Pavarotti, Marilyn Horne, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and others were frequent visitors here. The house was named after actress Eleanora Duse (1858-1924), Waldron’s godmother. Many letters, portraits and memorabilia of La Duse, Caruso, Toscanini, Giuseppe De Luca and countless other titans of Italian culture adorn the walls.

The residence is presently called the “Casa Duse Artists Collective” and is managed by our host emeritus Rob Krakovski, whose generosity allowed this evening to happen. Its mission is to encourage and nurture the performing arts in the spirit of Martin Waldron. Our host August Ventura, correctly calledEmma Watson is well known for her role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series but the young actress is set to take on a role in another book adaptation soon. She’s playing Sam in Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and not only does she have to do an American accent in the film, she had to perform a dance routine from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Oddly enough, The Perks of Being a Wallflower has Watson starring alongside a pair of young men, just like she’s being doing for the last ten years in the Potter universe. And although she plays a much different character here, she thinks fans following her from her years at Hogwarts will enjoy it.

lots located in close proximity to the twelve approved lots; however, on July 11, 1983 the Johnston Town Council passed a resolution which imposed a moratorium on the issuance of new building permits in the area where plaintiffs' lots lay. The Town Council was motivated by recurring problems with the public sewer system in the area of plaintiffs' land. The sewer system had been constructed and extended in a hodge-podge, patchwork manner over a number of years by various developers as a condition for the Town's approval of their building plans. As a result, the system frequently clogged and overflowed into surrounding homes. The Town's response, therefore, was to ban the issuance of building permits in the area for homes requiring access to the Town sewer, and therebyled to a great flowering of the differential theory, and it was the setting for some of the deepest and most remarkable discoveries of the second half of the twentieth century.

One consequence of the smooth-manifold flowering, and the development of singular homology, was a near abandonment of PL topology for several decades. It continued to be used in low dimensions due to low-dimensional simplifications (homology identifies 2-manifolds). Enough of a community had been established to sustain some general activity, but it lacked the guidance of an important goal.

The 1950s and 60s saw a renascence in PL topology. Smale’s development of handlebody theory, and particularly his proof of a form of the generalized Poincaré conjecture, electrified the manifold communities. Smale’s work was in the smooth world, coming from a

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson admits he wanted to bring Ruben Loftus-Cheek back to Selhurst Park for this season but Chelsea blocked the deal.

Loftus-Cheek impressed in this year's World Cup when he featured for Gareth Southgate's side in their run to the semi-finals.

The 22-year-old made 24 appearances for Palace despite spending around three months on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

Hodgson said: "I know the club had been in conversations about Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Steve Parrish knows how much we would have liked to have brought Ruben here again.

"I must say it doesn't surprise me that at the moment Chelsea are saying they are not prepared to loan him out.

"Andwe did what we can do to say look 'if he isn't going to play for you and you are thinking of loaning him out again can you loan him back to us?'"

The midfielder started his career at Chelsea in their youth system before making his senior debut in 2014. He has played for the Blues 22 times before he was loaned out last summer.

The immigration of Diaspora Jews to Israel increased by seven percent in 2013
while North American aliya dropped by 11 percent, according to figures released
by the Jewish Agency and the Immigrant Absorption Ministry on Sunday.

The
overall increase was partially driven by a 63% increase in aliya from France,
part of a 35% rise among Western European nations.

In total 19,200 Jews
immigrated to Israel, a rise of 260 from the previous year.

official figures listed an 11% drop in aliya from North America with some 3,000
immigrants coming over the past year as opposed to 3,389 in 2012, Nefesh

Several new programs intended to ease the
return of Israelis living in France are in the works for 2014, they announced,
as well as “a joint task force to reach out to Israelis living abroad and
strengthen their connections to Israel.”

While many in Israel have made a
big deal out of the rising French aliya figures, Roger Cukierman, the president
of the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (CRIF), the
representative organization of French Jewry, has downplayed its
importance.

While French Jews continue to make aliya, the number coming
is still less than 1% of the Jewish population, he told the Post in
October.

the basis that the SRS "medical director" had determined that the requested prostheses were not a "medical necessity." Palmer was referred to the PacifiCare standard appeal process.
On March 31, 2000, Dr. Rivkin contacted Norton to tell him that Palmer's request for new prostheses was jeopardizing Palmer's disability status with his disability insurer, because the level of activity Palmer represented that he participated in, to support his request for new prostheses, could cause the insurance carrier to conclude he was not disabled. Norton responded that the requested prostheses were medically necessary, in his opinion. Palmer alleges that in making this contact, Rivkin acted as an agent for SRS and PacifiCare to further their attempts to avoid paying for a service that was medically necessary under the subscriber agreement.
Thereafter, onfurther review by PacifiCare's Appeals and Grievance Review Committee. Shortly thereafter, Palmer called PacifiCare to initiate such a review. The PacifiCare review process proceeded through September 2000, when Palmer wrote PacifiCare to complain that he had complied with their request to get a second opinion in July 2000, but no decision had been made by the PacifiCare medical director by the end of August or September, as had been promised.
Subsequently, Palmer filed this action against PacifiCare, SRS and Dr. Rivkin. As against PacifiCare, the main allegation is breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in the subscriber agreement, with respect to the denial of the requested medical services and equipment. Also, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress are alleged. As against SRS, both


he claims his injuries relate to actions taken by SRS and PacifiCare in administering the HMO subscriber agreement, and those actions operated to prevent him from receiving the requested health care services. He thus contends the policies promoted by section 425.13 (e.g., lowering medical malpractice insurance premiums) do not come into operation when the utilization review services were performed by SRS as a financial consulting service to PacifiCare, even though SRS was simultaneously providing the direct medical care to Palmer as his primary care provider.
The closely intertwined nature of health insurance coverage decisions and medical necessity diagnostic decisions was recently discussed by the United States Supreme Court in Rush Prudential HMO, Inc. v. Moran (2002) 536 U.S. 355, 122 S.Ct. 2151, 153 L.Ed.2d 375 (Rush), and in Pegramof the PacifiCare appeals process, and he is pursuing that claim through his cause of action against PacifiCare for the breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in the subscriber agreement. That is the proper forum for those claims. However, to the extent Palmer seeks to plead intentional infliction of emotional distress against SRS for its part in those decisions, he was required to comply with the pleadings procedure of section 425.13, under MICRA standards.
Next, with respect to the allegations about the pressure and warnings that Dr. Rivkin allegedly inflicted upon Palmer, he did so as an SRS shareholder and representative. Dr. Rivkin is no longer a party to this action, since the demurrer rulings dismissed him. As an individual health care provider, he

President Ashraf Ghani visited the Emergency Hospital in capital Kabul on Friday to enquire about the health of those wounded in the Park Palace attack.

Several persons were killed, including nine foreigners, after three to four gunmen stormed the Park Palace guesthouse on Wednesday night. The dead included four Indians, two Pakistanis, an American, a Briton, an Italian and a Kazakh woman. Taliban claimed credit for the attack.

A music concert had reportedly been planned at the hotel when it was attacked, sparking a stand-off with the hotel’s guards before security forces sealed off the Kolola Pushta neighbourhood after 9pm.

BBC News, Kuala Lumpur Published duration 14 June 2011

image caption Being an obedient wife "could cure domestic violence and prostitution", the club says

Malaysia's minister for women's affairs says a club teaching women to be more obedient to their husbands is giving the Muslim nation a bad image.

The "Obedient Wives Club" was started by a fringe Muslim group earlier this month.

Its founders say domestic violence and prostitution could be cured by teaching women to keep their men happy in the bedroom.

They say women should be "better than a first-class prostitute".

That way, the men are less likely to stray or resort to violence, they say.

Human rights groups and religious officials have dismissed the club as an insult to both men and women.

regards itself as a moderate Muslim nation, with women holding key positions in the country.

The club is unlikely to gain much popularity but the minister for women, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, says their activities have given Islam and the country a bad name.

In Kazakhstan she was asked by local journalists if Muslim women had rights in Malaysia and whether they were being turned into slaves by their husbands.

The club's founders say they expected this type of backlash.

recovered property. Lendley identified a car stereo he bought several weeks earlier by matching the
serial number of the recovered stereo to the serial number on the box he saved.

         Officer Craig Nabors of the Chattanooga City Police Department testified that he was a
probationary police officer working under a field training officer, Officer Wiertel, the night the
victim’s car was broken into. Officer Nabors said he and Officer Wiertel received a message to be
on the lookout for two suspicious persons, one walking and one pushing a bicycle, who had been
looking into cars. Approximately eight minutes after receiving the message, the officers located the
defendant and Moore and stopped them for questioning. The defendant was


carrying a backpack and
Moore was pushing a bicycle that had no pedals. Nabors said the defendant gave the officers
permission to search the backpack, where they found “a portable tape player, a portable CD player,
two in-dash stereo car systems and also receivers and . . . a set of headphones.” Officer Nabors
testified that the victim was able to identify one of the car stereos as his by matching the stereo’s
serial number to the serial number on the box and receipt he had. On cross-examination, Nabors
testified that he questioned the defendant about the theft and that the defendant claimed the backpack
and its contents. Nabors acknowledged that he did not question Moore.

        Officer Steven Wiertel of the Chattanooga Police Department testified that he andvictim’s car was located, and the
victim then identified his stolen car stereo. The officer said that the defendant and Moore then
started to argue about to whom the stereo belonged. On cross-examination, Hart acknowledged that
Moore claimed the stereo belonged to him. Asked why the defendant was arrested when Moore
claimed ownership of the stereo, Hart said it was because the defendant had possession of the stolen

An open letter from doctors: Julian Assange “could die in prison”

24 November 2019

The following letter was authored by more than 65 eminent medical doctors from the UK and around the world, calling for urgent action to protect the life of imprisoned WikiLeaks founder and journalist Julian Assange.

We write this open letter, as medical doctors, to express our serious concerns about the physical and mental health of Julian Assange. Our professional concerns follow publication recently of the harrowing eyewitness accounts of Craig Murray and John Pilger of the case management hearing on Monday 21 October 2019 at Westminster Magistrates Court. The hearing related to the upcoming February 2020 hearing of the request by the US government for Mr Assange’s extradition to the US in relation to his work asa publisher of information, including information about alleged crimes of the US government.

Our concerns were further heightened by the publication on 1 November 2019 of a further report of Nils Melzer, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, in which he stated: ‘Unless the UK urgently changes course and alleviates his inhumane situation, Mr Assange’s continued exposure to arbitrariness and abuse may soon end up costing his life.’

Having entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on 19 June 2012, Mr Assange sought and was granted political asylum by the Ecuadorian government. On 11 April 2019, he was removed from the Embassy and arrested by the Metropolitan Police. He was subsequently detained in Belmarsh maximum security prison, in what Mr Melzer


would be essential to assess this risk.’ The dentist ‘advised Mr Assange he should seek treatment in a clinical setting to prevent further progression of his symptoms as soon as possible.’ [1]

• On 4 December 2015, an opinion of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD) was formally adopted and it was published on 5 February 2016. It concluded that Mr Assange was being arbitrarily detained by the governments of the UK and Sweden. Crucially, it was made clear at the time that any continued arbitrary detention of Mr Assange would constitute torture. The group concluded that ‘the Embassy of Ecuador in London is far less than a house or detention centre equipped for prolonged pretrial detention and lacks appropriate and necessary medical equipment or facilitiesAssange, an hour-long physical examination and a two-hour psychiatric examination.

• On 23 May 2019, the US government brought charges under the Espionage Act of 1917 against Mr Assange for his publishing activities on behalf of WikiLeaks. On 29 May 2019, Mr Assange was moved to the ‘hospital wing’ at Belmarsh prison following a reported significant deterioration in his health. On 30 May 2019, Mr Assange was too unwell to appear in court, even via video link, for a preliminary extradition hearing. [15] It should be noted that the medical facilities and staffing at Belmarsh prison ‘hospital wing’ have never been divulged to the public.

• On 31 May 2019, Mr Melzer, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, reported on his 9 May 2019 visit to Mr Assange, ‘we all

With the displacement and persecution of so many Christians, important cultural treasures, such as the Aramaic language that Jesus spoke are in danger of extinction.

Chaldean Catholics, who worship in Aramaic, “are afraid that this language will disappear in the next generation because our community is now distributed everywhere,” he said, noting that Chaldeans who emigrate usual abandon Aramaic and end up worshipping in the local language.

As Breitbart News reported last summer, more than half the Christians living in Syria and Iraq have been killed or fled the country since 2011, mostly due to persecution from the Islamic State terror group.

A dossier, titled “Understanding Recent Movements of Christians from Syria and Iraq,” was produced by threethen known as Superior Services, Inc. In its brief, Plaintiff attached documents from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Corporate and Consumer Services, which certify the history of the Wisconsin entity's corporate organization. The documents reflect that the Wisconsin entity was originally incorporated on July 7, 1992 under the name Waste Holding Company, Inc., changed its name to Superior Environmental Services, Inc. on November 4, 1992, changed its name again to Superior Services, Inc. on January 1, 1994, and changed its name a third time to Onyx Waste Services, Inc., the named party in this action, on January 2, 2002.
In an attempt to establish the corporate independence of the two corporations, Ms. Duke testified that the Michigan and Wisconsin corporations have separate federal tax identification numbers.


In its response brief, Plaintiff presents the affidavit of Paul Jenks, Chief Executive Officer of Onyx Waste Services, Inc., the Wisconsin corporation. Mr. Jenks states that the Wisconsin corporation manages solid waste businesses and provides support services to subsidiaries throughout the United States for clients nationwide. Mr. Jenks states that the Michigan corporation's business activities include collecting solid waste within Michigan, operating transfer stations in Michigan where waste is consolidated, and operating a material recovery facility and other related businesses within the State of Michigan.
Mr. Jenks also swore, under penalty of perjury, that the Michigan corporation "has its own managers and officers." However, Mr. Jenks fails to address the Michigan corporation's Profit Corporation Information Update, filed with the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services on May 31,2001. This document reflects that Mr. Jenks is one of two named Vice Presidents of the Michigan corporation. Further, as indicated earlier, Ms. Duke is listed as the Secretary of the Michigan corporation and also serves as the Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Michigan corporation. In addition, this document shows that the Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary, and one Director of the Michigan corporation reside or do business in Wisconsin. Although this lack of candor may have some explanation, Plaintiff fails to provide one.
Another interesting development at the injunction hearing was the fact that Defendant worked in Michigan and received his paychecks from the Michigan corporation. Further, the W-2's issued to Defendant from "Onyx Waste Services, Inc." list the federal employer identification number of the Michigan


corporation. Defendant points out that "Onyx Waste Services, Inc." in Wisconsin did not exist under that name until January 2002, months after Defendant's departure from then Superior Services, Inc. Plaintiff also does not refute Defendant's assertion that he "consistently worked out of the Six Mile Road offices in Northville, Michigan, ... which is the *782 principal place of business of the Michigan corporation."
Plaintiff responds by maintaining that Defendant was hired by the Wisconsin corporation and reported, and ultimately submitted his resignation, to Paul Jenks, then the Wisconsin corporation's vice president for special projects. Plaintiff further states that "Defendant did not report to anyone at Onyx Michigan." Again, Plaintiff fails to address the fact that Mr. Jenks is listed as one of the vice presidents of the Michigan corporation.Plaintiff also states that while Defendant did receive his paychecks from the Michigan corporation, it was the Wisconsin corporation "that provided the money." Plaintiff concludes by stating that since parent and subsidiary corporations are treated as separate entities for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, and because the Wisconsin corporation is the entity moving in this matter, there is complete diversity in the action at bar.
To complicate matters further, on March 27, 2002, two days after the preliminary injunction hearing, the Wisconsin corporation styled Onyx Waste Services, Inc. obtained from the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services a Certificate of Authority to Transact Business or Conduct Affairs in Michigan. On the same day, the Michigan corporation styled Onyx Waste Services, Inc. changed its name to "Onyx Waste Services of


W-2's with the Michigan corporation's federal employee identification number, both corporations shared several corporate officers and directors, Defendant worked in Michigan and out of the Michigan corporation's principal place of business, the Wisconsin corporation was neither authorized or licensed to conduct business in Michigan prior to March 2002, both corporations were parties to the non-compete agreement with Defendant, the agreement and the parties to it are governed entirely by Michigan law, and Defendant reported and resigned to an individual who is listed as serving as the CEO of the Wisconsin corporation and vice-president of the Michigan corporation. It is important to note that all of this information was uncovered by Defense counsel before it had a chance to conduct formal discovery.

KIEV, Ukraine — Sergey Krasilnikov, 65, was one of about 800,000 soldiers, firefighters, engineers, miners, farmers and volunteers tasked with taking part in the Chernobyl cleanup operation after the accident. They were known as "liquidators." Most were between the ages of 18 and 22 and came from the three worst-affected countries: Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, all then part of the Soviet Union. They were exposed to various radiation levels, and 20% may have died by 2005 while in their 30s and 40s, according to the Chernobyl Foundation, which raises funds for Chernobyl-related projects. It is not known how many are still alive, but more than 90% of the liquidators had radiation-induced health problems, such as thyroid cancer, heart disease and respiratory and digestive problems,


although many scientists say not all these health problems can be attributed to radiation.

Krasilnikov had a stroke in 1994, leaving him paralyzed on the left side of his body and needing a wheelchair. He lives in a cramped, two-room apartment on the fifth floor of a building with no elevator or lights in the hallway on the outskirts of Kiev. He lives there with his wife, Nataliya, and two cats, Zeus and Julia Volodymyoiune.

Hanging on the walls are about two dozen framed medals and photographs of Krasilnikov with dignitaries and at various ceremonies. In some he is in the wheelchair, others not. One picture shows him in his wheelchair and dressed in suit and tie, on the roof of an abandoned building inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, theclosed area around the nuclear plant. A few years ago, he went on a hunger strike for 53 days to protest what he says is a lack of support from the government for people like him. He runs a group that raises money for invalid liquidators in his local area. It has 1,586 members.

Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY

Here are his words, edited and condensed for clarity:

Before Chernobyl, liquidation always meant to break something, to eliminate, to destroy. After the accident, the word received a new life and meaning. A liquidator became a person who rescued people and living things. A person who creates. We were proud of this, and put our souls into the work.

But now it’s clear to me that we belonged to a generation that was thrown


processes and their interrelations represent the base for further development at all levels, in conformity with modern management concept.

The base for the establishment of the Quality Management System represents the Quality Policy, adopted by the Top Management.

Management System in the Laboratory for physico-chemical testing

Function of the quality control is executed by the Laboratory for physico-chemical testing that was, in 2008, accredited in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standard, by the Accreditation Body of Serbia.

Modern equipment, controlled conditions, skilled and trained staff in the laboratory guarantee independence, competence and high-level physical and chemical testing of technical substances and finished pesticide preparations, as for the internal so for the external clients.

Meeting of requirements of the aforesaid standard was executed with the purpose of the official recognition of competence,assessment, prevention measures and measures of protection against chemical accidents. Also, composition of the teams participating in the response to the accident, as well as procedure in response to the accident for different scenarios is defined.

In January 2014, Galenika Fitofarmacija a.d. received a decision on approval of the Safety Report and Emergency Plan, as two key documents for the Seveso operator, by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection. Galenika Fitofarmacija a.d. is the first company that has received the approval of the competent authorities on the relevant documentation.

During the 2014 there was created a brochure to inform the public (households and companies in the environment) in relation to the Seveso operater, entitled "The importance of prevention and proper treatment to protect against chemical accident".

EMAS (Eco Management and

Galenika Fitofarmacija a.d. was participated in 2014 in the project “Law enforcement in the field of industrial pollution control, prevention of chemical accidents and establishing the EMAS system”, which is funded by the EU. The project was conducted in organisation of Ministry of agriculture and environmental protection, and in cooperation with the Ministry of environmental protection in Austria. Goal of the project was established system in accordance with the EMAS EU Regulation 1221/2009 in tree selected companies from Serbia (TRS Novi Sad, Gorenje Valjevo and Galenika Fitofarmacija a.d.)

Work on the project included meetings and workshops on different topics with foreign and domestic consultants.

A man who urinated on a woman at a Drake concert at Manchester Arena and triggered a row between his drink drive killer girlfriend and another fan, has avoided jail .

Fauod Elhabbal, 27, was at the show with his girlfriend Emma Egan on February 11 this year when he urinated on the leg of a woman sitting in the seat in front on him.

Feeling the liquid, she turned round to see him tucking his penis away.

When she confronted him about what he had done, Elhabbal simply smirked at her.

Disgusted by his actions, she alerted security staff who tried


to eject Elhabbal, of Dewsbury, from the arena.

He became aggressive and officers were called and he was subsequently arrested.

After initially pleading not guilty, Elhabba, of Dewsbury, was found guilty on August 14, the Huddersfield Examiner reports.

He was sentenced at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on August 31 to 20 weeks’ imprisonment suspended for 12 months.

He also was ordered to undertake 200 hours unpaid community work and pay £685 towards costs, compensation and the victim.

Insp Michelle Wedderburn of British Transport Police said: “We police the arena and this disgusting behaviour is certainly not something we have seen before.

“Urinating on some unsuspecting concert goer’s leg is vile and I hope that his appearance in court and subsequent suspended sentence teaches him a lesson and sends astrong message out that this sort of revolting behaviour won’t be tolerated.”

His girlfriend, Emma Egan, 29, from Dewsbury, was also in trouble after attacking pop fan Gary Tann for berating Elhabba for urinating over the woman.

The ex-beauty therapist knocked back lager and then bundled Tann over a row of seats after he was ticked off for standing up as the American rap star came on stage.

Police later discovered she had been on licence from jail after she mowed down and killed a 55-year-old cyclist in a hit and run drink-driving smash.

She mowed down the cyclist while chasing another boyfriend at 69mph following a drunken row in Sheffield.

She was jailed in 2014 for four years but served only two.

At least 15 people injured as the blast sent large pieces of debris about 91 metres across the street.

A powerful explosion from a suspected gas leak ripped through a shopping mall in Florida, injuring at least 15 people.

Two of those were in serious condition after the blast in the town of Plantation in south Florida on Saturday.

Between 15 and 20 people were injured, deputy fire chief Joel Gordon told reporters.

Photos on US news outlets showed a large field of debris outside the Fountains Plaza shopping centre.

The photos showed an LA Fitness gym heavily damaged, with its windows blown out. The blast sent large pieces of debris about 91 metres across the street.

The fire department called it a gas explosion with “multiple patients”.

The Sun-Sentinel, a South Florida newspaper, reportedOnce a month, Susan Chipman drives to a mountainside spring that burbles from the ground in North Vancouver and ﬁlls four 20-litre containers with water to use for drinking and cooking. When full, each container weighs 20 kg. Chipman lives on the top floor of a three-storey walk-up apartment in Vancouver. Her building has running water, of course, supplied and sourced by Metro Vancouver from protected reservoirs even higher up in the North Shore Mountains. But it lacks an elevator. So, she hauls her water jugs up the stairs, one in each hand for balance. “It’s a bit of a chore in the true sense of the word, but it’s worth it, I think.” Chipman says she was hooked from the ﬁrst sip. She tasted it and thought,

It takes a village to raise a DJ and every once in a while someone in the village drops the ball on their part. When it came towas right with the world until later that night at his after party.

Eric was scheduled to perform at Club Space (an exclusive high priced club in Downtown Miami) alongside Jeremy Olander and Fehrplay. Despite his outstanding performance earlier that day, when it came to the after party later that night he didn’t deliver. The show ended early on account of a “corrupt SD card” according to the DJ but for fans the explanation was lacking.

Many lashed out at the artist citing his slurred speech and stumbling as the main determinant for the early end to their night. It seemed to those in attendance that Eric Prydz was more worried about his own fun than that of his fans when he got a little too drunk to put on


one of the most generic sets I’ve ever heard. Song after song we heard original versions of all the Top 40 EDM radio hits of the year and besides the fireworks that followed there was nothing exciting about being there to witness it.

Ultra Music Festival 15 was Joel Zimmerman’s last obligation to Ultra Records before terminating his contract and he took to social media to proclaim his utter disdain for the event. He was scheduled mainstage closing sets for both weekends and instead of at least pretending to care about anyone other than himself, he proceeded to play the exact same set both weekends.

The macaw pens at Paquimé

Casas Grandes is both a municipality and an archaeological district in northern Chihuahua State, Mexico. The archaeological district includes the pre-historic ruins of Paquimé, a city that began to build around 1130 AD and was abandoned about 1450 AD. Archaeologists are uncertain as to whether Paquimé was settled by migrants from the Mogollon/Mimbres settlements to the north or by Anasazi elite from the Four Corners region in the United States or by others. Over the years Paquimé was built into a massive complex with structures up to six and seven stories high with multiple Great Houses in the surrounding countryside. Today, the site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mata Ortiz is a small settlement inside the bounds of the Casas


Grandes municipality very near the site of Paquimé. The fortunes of the town have gone up and down over the years with a real economic slump happening after the local railroad repair yard was relocated to Nuevo Casas Grandes in the early 1960's. The town was in steady decline until Juan Quezada, a poor farmer who gathered firewood in the area of the archaeological site, found fragments of ancient Paquimé pottery and even older fragments of Mimbres forms with bold black-on-white designs littering the ground. Those pot shards inspired him to recreate how that pottery had first been made.

Ramos Polychrome effigy from Paquimé

Quezada was successful in his quest to recreate the ancient process using slightly more modern techniques (although no one in the present tradition uses a potter'swheel). He learned to use sand and other coarse materials for temper. He discovered that dried cow dung made an excellent and inexpensive firing fuel. Instead of using gourds for smoothing he substituted broken hacksaw blades. Instead of using yucca fiber brushes for painting he learned to make brushes with human baby hair. He persevered in his efforts and by 1971 had produced a kind of polychrome pottery. Since then, most pottery-making in the area has used innovations in the design and decoration of the pots but the materials and the basic crafting of the process have remained the same.

By the mid-1970's, Quezada had attracted a significant number of traders and his work was becoming a commercial success. That is when he began teaching his techniques to his


immediate family. They in turn taught other family members, friends and the younger generations. Both women and men were included from the beginning.

Contemporary Mata Ortiz pottery was mistakenly called Casas Grandes prehistoric pottery in the early years of its production. But the potters of this tiny village have made such an impact on the pottery communities, including many awards and special recognition from the Presidents of Mexico, that Mata Ortiz pottery is now becoming known around the world.

Today, pottery production has changed the village in many ways as there is now electricity, plumbing, vehicles and more for the residents. Virtually everyone in the small town (2010 population: 1,182) makes their living by working in some part of the pottery-making process, from potters to clay-gatherers to firewood collectors totraders.

Mata Ortiz pottery incorporates elements of contemporary and prehistoric design and decoration, and each potter or pottery family produces their own distinctive, individualized ware. Young potters from surrounding areas have been attracted to the Mata Ortiz revival and new potting families have developed while the art movement continues to expand. Without the restraints of traditional religious practices or gender constraints, a vibrant flow of new ideas has enabled the pottery of Mata Ortiz to avoid the derivative repetition common to virtually all folk art movements. This blend of economic need, gender equality, cultural expression and artistic freedom has produced a unique artistic movement in today's community.

Speaking to about 400 guests from 36 countries at a dinner marking the opening of the Singapore Summit, he noted that the global economy now seems to be "in a funk", but that there are grounds for optimism, as there are still ways to ensure that people do not "lose out to trade and technology".

The two-dayand investment to foster regional integration takes it away from being hijacked by political concerns, as has happened in the European Union.

He said Asean should now focus on trade in services, and a deeper integration with India to generate more growth.

But even as economies are struggling with disruptive forces, Singapore has to embrace them as its labour supply is tight, he said.

Thus, the government not only cooperates with employers and trade agencies to help those displaced to find new jobs, it also works hard at nurturing the sense that one can be "optimistic even in the world of technological change".

"Don't let the perceptions or the narrative have their own dynamic - they're overplayed and over-stated. The future depends on us and what we do," he said.

According to Fox News, Obama captured 322 electoral votes compared to 2006 collected by Romney. The President needed 270 votes to win re-election.

The Huffington Post reports that the final count from all 50 states and the District of Columbia has also been finalized. Obama took 65,899,660 votes compared to Romney’s 60,932,152 votes. Obama won the 2012 election with 51.1% of the vote which makes him the first person since Dwight Eisenhower to win two consecutive elections with more than 51% of the vote.

He was involved in large projects - like making the patterns for the Stardust motel in Las Vegas for instance (at the time the largest sign in the US) - so there is a likelihood that he may have been involved with the Islander sign. Alas, it's too late to ask him about it, but In thought it worth a mention. He probably painted the sign at the end of that gang-plank,too, damnit!

Anyhow, thanks for the information and stories. this place is great!

But the statement Friday from the State Department notes the U.S. expects to continue to receive help from other nations in the rebuilding process.

"Many U.S. allies and partners are making significant contributions to the defeat-ISIS campaign and the stabilization of liberated territory."

The Kinsey Institute

Indiana University Bloomington is home to the Kinsey Institute, which promotes the study and research of gender, human sexuality and reproduction. Perhaps some of you saw the film, Kinsey, that came out in 2004 that portrayed the life of Alfred Kinsey and discussed his research on human sexuality. I don’t know if you remember, but all of this took place right here in Bloomington!

Not only have scholars at Kinsey written some of the most groundbreaking work in this field, but the Institute itself is open to the public during the week. They have a gallery where they display different art exhibits. This month I went to see Women of Pleasure. This exhibit includes photographs, paintings, literaturewatch a 50-kilometre walk and some horses trotting around slowly but neatly, but also, just two weeks ago, I acquired four tickets to the England-Wales match, in the (relatively) cheap seats.

There will be fist-fights in nursing homes in the 2070s about whether England were right, wrong, or insane to go for the line-out.

Given that the game could have sold out multiple times over when the initial ballot was drawn in 2014, and would probably have come close to capacity if it had gone on sale in 1814, before rugby was invented, I was a fortunate beneficiary of a ticketing system which will surely baffle historians for centuries to come.

a man who had just won a castration in a raffle. His selections had almost paid off. His tactics had almost worked. His team had almost done it. Then his bench backfired, his immovable defensive lynchpin went walkabout, his team blew it.

“The better team won,” I told my son, hoping that some sense of sporting justice would dampen the disappointment, carefully omitting the words “in the most important period of the match” in between “team” and “won”. This was a thoroughly-merited victory. And a thoroughly-merited defeat.

He also averred that Russia is still actively seeking to undermine faith in the US political system, declined to comment on the status of an active investigation into Russia's 2016 meddling and alleged (but unproven) coordination with the Trump campaign, and wouldn't confirm the existence of a separate investigation into unlawful national security leaks targeting the Trump administration.

Under questioning from Democrats on the panel, Comey explained (persuasively, in my view) why he chose to disclose new developments in the Clinton email saga so close to Election Day, and swatted down the premise that he wrongly interfered publicly

pooled tips into a "tip pool bank account" and later distributed the money to designated employees who provided service to casino customers. These employees included chip service people, poker tournament coordinators, poker rotation coordinators, hosts, customer service representatives or "floormen," and concierges. The tip pool policy specifically prohibited employers, managers, and supervisors from receiving any money from the tip pool. Plaintiff brought a class action against the Casino and its general manager. His complaint alleged that the Casino's tip pooling policy amounted to a conversion of his tips, and violated the employee protections under sections 221 (prohibiting wage kickbacks by employer), 351 (prohibiting employer from taking, collecting, or receiving employees' gratuities), 450 (prohibiting employer from compelling employees to patronize employer), 1197 (prohibiting payment of less than minimum wage),The chest has 5 drawers which have beaded edges and are finished with wooden knob handles.

Update: As we mentioned lower in the boss, Monday’s deadly Amtrak train derailment in Washington state appears to have been caused by an object on the railway, according to a government official briefed on the crash.

The Associated Press reported that officials arrived at this conclusion following a brief investigation. A preliminary investigation suggests maintenance problems are unlikely to blame because the incident took place on brand-new tracks, the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. At least six people were killed and the death toll is expected to rise, the official said. The Amtrak 501 plunged off an overpass onto I-5 near Lacey, Washington, sometime before 7:45 a.m., during its inaugural run between Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. During an afternoon briefing on his national securitythe new faster route would lead to fatal accidents.

Time Warner Cable puts pressure back on telcos

By: Sarah Reedy, Telephony Online

Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) is holding its own against growing telco competition in the first quarter, adding 36,000 basic video customers and 121,000 digital video subscribers. Despite a 32% decline in profit, Bernstein Research senior analyst Craig Moffett called the first quarter "stellar" for the second largest cableco, due in large part to its success in video.

"Amidst the deepest recession in two generations, swirling anxieties about video 'cord-cutting,' and in the face of the telcos' best-ever video quarter, TWC added 36,000 basic video subscribers in its first quarter ever as a standalone cable company," Moffett wrote in a research note. "Consensus expectations had called for a loss of 77,000. That will be taken as an enormouslyencouraging, and reassuring, sign."

Telco competition has expanded to a significant part of TWC's footprint, but the growth slowed in the first quarter, according Chief Operating Officer Landel Hobbs. Verizon added 299,000 new FiOS TV subscribers in the first quarter, bringing its total to 2.2 million, while AT&T added 284,000 U-Verse subs. Verizon may have squeezed by AT&T in video net adds, but – like last quarter – TWC still sees AT&T as the bigger threat. AT&T and Verizon are now in 22% of its footprint, 15% and 7%, respectively. AT&T has passed twice as many as TWC's homes as Verizon, Hobbs said.

The digital transition, although delayed until June, was also a boon to TWC's video growth. The DTV accounted for as many as 80,000 of TWC's net new


subs in the first quarter. TWC offered free basic video service for those customers who also took on its DSL service, and Hobbs said that as many as a third of the subs agreed to either a double- or triple-play package. The company expects a similar impact in June when the final DTV transition occurs.

"We've become an independent company in challenging times, but times like this reinforce that cable is a great business," said Chief Executive Officer Glenn Britt on today's earnings call, adding that the company grew its revenues by 5% in the quarter even with local advertising revenues declining 26% year-over-year.

TWC was rumored to be mulling an acquisition of Internet video content site Joost.com to ward off competition from online video sources, but Britt would notNew York’s incoming Attorney General Letitia James has ambitious plans to go after President Donald Trump for any crimes he may have committed in the Empire State before taking the White House. To that end, James plans a series of investigations into the 45th president, his family and “anyone” connected to Trump.

“We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well,” James said in a recent interview with NBC News. “We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law.”

The recently-elected attorney general previewed five distinct areas in which she plans to use her office to investigate Trump and those close to him.

U.S. decathlete Ashton Eaton owns a pair of Olympic gold medals and is responsible for Portland newborns owning their first pair of Nike shoes.

Entering the 2016 Rio Olympics, U.S. decathlete Ashton Eaton was the defending Olympic champion. He was favored to win the gold medal again in Rio despite facing stiff competition from Canada’s Damian Warner. However, once the grueling two-day event concluded, Eaton was once again on the podium with his second Olympic gold medal. As a result, he can retain his title as “World’sGreatest Athlete.”

Eaton not only defended his Olympic title, but he also won something for newborns in Portland. Olympic sponsor Nike delivered a pair of Waffle 1 sneakers for every child born at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center on Thursday. The shoes came in a custom “My First Nike” box accompanied by an inspirational note. The note will be something for the children to cherish once they’re at an age where they can read it.

Ashton was born in Portland and raised in Oregon. He was also a member of the prestigious University of Oregon track team before going pro. Nike featured him, Serena Williams and other Olympians as newborns getting a pep talk about their athletic destinies. The clever ad campaign was known as “Unlimited Future.”

chemo is worthless in the end.

Stan Rutner story

Barb is 77 and Stan is 80. They were a couple for 59 years and both have had cancer. Stan was a dentist with a mini-business when he got the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma 25 years ago and Barb had breast cancer twice.

Stan recalls that he thought he only had flu, cold something like that. Cancer was not on his mind at all.

After a treatment of 6 months, Stan got into remission in 1989. He kept his life as normally. He never thought he would get the cancer again in 2011 since he had the treatment. His first symptoms were coughs, but overall he was okay.

He made a medical appointment and they said it was stage 1 pneumonia. There were weirdlung spots, the doctor said, that needed examining after the pneumonia was gone. Few tests more and the spots were cancer.

The final diagnosis was lung cancer stage 4 and metastasis to the brain.

The doctor was harsh and devastated and didn’t use sugar coating at all. It was worse; the cancer even got to the brain.

Life of Stan became worse and worse rapidly

The radiation and chemo were tough for Stan. After he started the curing, he lost weight, had nausea, fatigue and he perished slowly.

Barb remembers how he looked worse every day. He was thin and they ended the radiation on June 25th and he got in the hospital at July 13th when he had radiation pneumonitis. It was hospital visit number 3 and he stayed for a week
