felony, in violation of M.C.L. § 750.227. At his 1994 jury trial in state court, Lancaster
admitted that he had killed his girlfriend, but asserted the defenses of insanity and
diminished capacity. The jury rejected these defenses and convicted him on both counts.

       After exhausting his appeals in state court, Lancaster filed a petition for a writ
of habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
He raised several claims, including a claim under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79
(1986), in which he contended that the State had used one of its peremptory challenges

law. It had been recognized by the Michigan Court of Appeals many times, both before
and after the 1975 codification of the insanity defense, and both before and after the
1994 amendments to that statute. Although the Michigan Supreme Court did not
squarely address the validity of the defense until 2001, the Court had clearly
acknowledged the defense in several of its previous rulings. Diminished capacity was
also a recognized defense in the Michigan State Bar’s Standard Criminal Jury
Instructions. And, most importantly, it was widely used by defendants in the years prior
to 2001. So widely used and accepted, in fact, that Lancaster himself was allowed to
pursue the defense during his first trial in 1994. Accordingly, the holding in Rogers is
inapposite to this case.


standard jury instructions.
Simply put, prior to Carpenter’s official elimination of the defense, neither the Michigan
legislature nor the Michigan courts gave diminished capacity standing as a separate
defense. Instead, the courts discussed diminished capacity as an aspect of insanity, and
they applied the concept through the parameters of the insanity statute.

         It is indisputable that defendants were able to raise the defense prior to
Carpenter, but the availability of the defense alone does not make its elimination
unexpected. Indeed, in Rogers, the year-and-a-day rule had been available to defendants
for nearly one hundred years, but the Supreme Court nevertheless concluded that its
elimination was foreseeable because the rule never served as the basis for a decision in
the state and many other states had abolished the rule. Inwhich provides an alternative to Western conceptions of nature.

World Masterpieces II

Course Number: LLT 1223Sustainability content: Course begins with a unit on Romantic poetry-a period that helped transform Western conceptions of nature and landscape-and includes To the Lighthouse, which provides a classic modernist reading of human perception of and understanding of nature as threat, comfort, and inspiration in reaction to dominant Romantic conceptions, which were derived from the nineteenth century and continue to influence our thinking and responses to nature.

American Literature: 1900 to the Present (Modernism and After)Course Number: LLT 3223Course Description: The diverse body of literature produced by American modernist authors may be seen as a collective attempt to define a national culture. In one way or another, all of the American authors of the modernist period responded


to the rapidly changing social conditions in which they lived.

This course examines what this body of texts can tell us about American society, both in the past and the present. In this class, we will investigate not only the aesthetic significance of twentieth-century American literature but its cultural, social, historical, economic and ethical implications as well.

Sustainability Content: The course examines Manifest Destiny and industrialization-two of the highly unsustainable modern roots of today's problems.

Mythology

Course Number: LLT4913Sustainability Content: The course includes a film called "in the Light of Reverence" which looks at three indigenous communities and the lands they are trying to protect: the Lakota of the Great Plains, the Hopi of New Mexico, and the Wintu of Northern California.

In all of the Mythologies the course examines, nature is asignificant character, sentient, and often gendered as feminine. The course traces the complicated and hostile rather than cooperative relationship between humans and nature.

Literature of the Built Environment

Course Number: LLT8012Sustainability Content: Course typically considers the multiple contexts of built structures, including the social, economic, and cultural roots of the built environment. Readings include Sennet's Flesh and Stone, concerned specifically with the sustainability of cultures over time and the impact their understanding of the environment had on their survival, and extensive selections from Thoreau's Walden, the classic American work on the sustainability of the American way of life.

Media, Communication and Society

Course Number: MCO1003Course Description: Electronic mass media and their functions: legal, economic, psychological aspects of media broadcasting and production are discussed. A survey of race, gender, and multicultural issues with


(1) the theological, (2) the original "eastern" pre-Socratic (emphasizing flux and trusting the senses) and (3) the "western" Pythagorean pre-Socratic, (emphasizing permanent "being" and trusting reason). Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Galileo, Descartes and Hobbes are studied within this enduring framework.

Development of the American Experience

Course Number: SSC 2423Sustainability Content: The "state of nature" is a central concept in Development. We raise this question in the first week in Locke, and we continue the theme by comparing Locke's views to Rousseau's and Jefferson's through the remainder of the semester. The primary context for the state of nature is man's internal nature. But also crucial, especially for Locke and Jefferson, is the manner in which the characteristics of the state of nature create a specific form of property (which reaches its culminationPublication Design

Course Number: COM6473Course Description: This course provides techniques for the analysis and practice of the basic techniques and principles required for the effective management of technical publications and professionals.

Managing Organizational Communication

Course Number: COM6483Course Description: This course emphasizes the role and function of communication as a key to understanding organizational frameworks and practices. Students learn traditional and innovative approaches to viewing and participating as technical communicators within a variety of organizational structures, managerial and communication styles. They also analyze the various organizational roles and responsibilities of technical communication, as well as the impact of technologies on the communication within corporate environments.

Communicating Across Cultures

Course Number: COM6493Course Description: May need permission of instructor. In this course, students will review and discuss current readings in multicultural studies. Once students are familiarized


with the conceptual and theoretical framework supporting studies in multiculturalism, the focus of the course will shift to how technical communicators can use such scholarship in multicultural studies to better adapt to the multicultural aspects of their audiences.

Advanced Interpersonal Communication

Course Number: COM6553Course Description: This course advances the student's knowledge of the theories and practices of interpersonal communication, focusing on its use and importance in the professional world. The course emphasizes effective listening skills, perception, language, conflict management, leadership, and relationships.

Advanced Nonverbal Communication

Course Number: COM6563Course Description: This course advances an understanding of the theories, practices, and power of nonverbal communication. The course examines the dynamics of nonverbal communication, including body language, proxemics, chronemics, facial cues, paralanguage, and environment, emphasizing the workplace and understanding different cultures.

Pressures from the tongue on the teeth were recorded in 21 children and adolescents before and after surgical reduction of the tongue. The recordings were made before surgery, and 6 and 12 months after the operation. Simultaneous measurements were made at the lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular central incisors and at the left first molar, in the rest position and during chewing and swallowing. The method had been used in a previous study of normal cases, which served as a reference. Presurgical pressures recorded in the rest position at the maxillary incisors agreed with measurements recorded in the same location in the reference sample.

The Shrine of the Book was built in 1965 to the designs of US architects, Frederick Kiesler and Armand Phillip Bartos. It was meant to house, exhibit, and, most uniquely, symbolically represent in architectural terms the Dead Sea Scrolls. A collection of approximately 900 manuscripts and manuscript fragments found in caves at Wadi Qumran between 1947 and 1956. The scrolls comprise the biblical and exegetical canon of the obsolete Essene sect of Judaism, and were composed, in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, between 150 BC and 70 AD. Today, the Shrine is also host to the Aleppo Codex, a 10th century AD text accepted to be the nearest evolutionary text to the modern Hebrew Old Testament. The Israel Museum, of whose extensive campus the Shrine is a part, hasdescribed the Shrine as a "symbolic building, a kind of sanctuary intended to express profound spiritual meaning," whose "location next to...the Knesset, key government offices, and the Jewish National and University Library attests to the degree of national importance that has been accorded the ancient texts and the building that preserves them," while its physical structure serves as a constant and unmistakable reference to the ancient manuscripts it contains.

Dates: Commission / Completion:The Shrine of the Book was commissioned in 1957 by David Samuel Gottesman, a philanthropist who had purchased the Dead Sea Scrolls as a gift to the newly-established State of Israel after the last scrolls were discovered in 1956. Construction was completed in 1965, after eight years of planning and composition; the building was dedicated on 20


April of that year.

Architectural and other Designer(s): Gottesman caused something of a furor within the Israeli architectural community when he commissioned a team of US architects, Frederick Kiesler and Armand Phillip Bartos, for the Shrine, not least because Bartos was his son-in-law, and neither Kiesler nor Bartos were prolific designers. Indeed, the Shrine of the Book was the highest-profile project either of them ever completed (it might even be considered Kiesler's only building), being better known today for their installation spaces, sculpture work, and contributions to academia.

Others associated with Building/Site: The Kiesler/Bartos team also worked with the Israeli architect Gezer Heller. The Shrine is located on the campus of the Israel Museum, a fine arts and archaeology museum designed by Bauhaus disciple Alfred Mansfield, along with Isamu Noguchi'ssculpture garden, and a scale model of the Second Temple.

Significant Alteration(s) with Date(s): The Shrine underwent extensive renovation between the spring of 2003 and the spring of 2004, during which time it was entirely closed to the public. The repairs included:
-replacement of the white dome's ceramic tiles
-the repaving of the piazza with stone from the Galilee
-the resurfacing of the black basalt wall adjacent to the museum
-the installation of more advanced exterior illumination
The goals of the renovation project were two-fold: to begin with, the intention was to counteract the effects of material aging while, in the words of the project architect Nahum Meltzer, "[making] changes without making it appear as though changes were made," in an attempt to preserve the Shrine's iconic profile. However, a greater challenge involved updating


the interior exhibition spaces for the better preservation and conservation of the manuscripts. These measures included:
-the creation of new air-tight showcases that altered the placement and positioning of the scrolls themselves
-the installation of the latest lighting and environmental technology to regulate temperature and humidity
-and the decision to rotate the scrolls on display at a rate of three months on and six months off, in climate- controlled storage.

Current Use: The Shrine of the Book remains the home of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Aleppo Codex, and a collection of other ancient manuscripts. It is regularly open to the public.
Renovations to the interior have made possible, for example, the display of original scrolls to the public where before, the design of the central column (intended to resemble one of thewooden spools of a Torah scroll) meant that, at first, a scroll had to be unrolled for show in the opposite direction from the one it had been rolled in for centuries, and, subsequently, that only a replica could be safely displayed in the space.

Current Condition: Owing to the recent extensive repairs, both the interior and the exterior of the Shrine are generally considered to be in excellent condition.

General Description:

The Shrine of the Book was designed to reflect its contents and their history. The white ceramic-tile dome, sometimes referred to as a "Chinese pagoda" or even "breast-like," is shaped like the lids of the jars in which the scrolls were found. Much has been made of the contrast between the white dome and the black basalt monolith beside


fact that the space is underground, the water feature also contributes to the maintenance of a cool interior in the extreme Jerusalem heat---and also likely contributes to wear on the tiles, necessitating their eventual replacement and repair. In order to recreate, for visitors, the caves in which the scrolls were discovered, the Shrine of the Book is built two-thirds underground, with only the dome fully above grade.

Construction Period:

1957-1965

Original Physical Context:

The Shrine of the Book is located on the campus of the Israel Museum, the national museum dedicated to fine arts, ethnographic studies, and archaeology. The Israel Museum was founded in 1965, the same year as the Shrine; it is constructed of form-cast concrete clad in native Jerusalem stone, and was designed in its signature modular modern style byAl Mansfield, a Russian-born architect who trained in Berlin before emigrating to Palestine in 1935.

Though the Shrine and the Israel Museum were built concurrently, they refer to each other only in their modern structural fabric; the Museum has none of the Shrine's symbolic value. These were the first buildings on the campus, which now hosts the Billy Rose Sculpture Garden, the Youth Wing art museum, and the Second Temple Model, a scale replica of the topography and architecture of Jerusalem circa 66AD.

Evaluation

Technical Evaluation:

Though the materials used in the Shrine's construction (terra cotta, local stone, bronze fountain) are not in and of themselves radical or innovative, the Shrine's distinctive reinforced concrete ceramic-clad tile dome, constitutes a unique adaptation of Modern form (its mimetic shape, suggesting clay jars and drops


display, the "back-stage" archive areas are also very tightly controlled environments, and must correspond to the circumstances of the cases.

Social:

Symbolic architecture has ancient roots in Jewish aesthetics, and can be traced back to Old Testament descriptions of the construction of the Tabernacle, where materials and measurements are all mandated for their symbolic value. Moreover, Gottesman had been deeply moved by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, as the discovery of the centuries-old manuscripts coincided with Israel's 1948 War for Independence, and subsequent founding of the state of Israel. So in a building that would, at once, preserve a national treasure for posterity and make it accessible to the people of a newly-independent country, Gottesman's chosen team of Kiesler and Bartos sought to marry the ancient tradition ofstructures in which every detail is meaningful, to the uniquely freighted objects the new structure would hold. For this reason, the Shrine was built to resemble the humble clay jars in which the scrolls had been stored for generations, and in which they had been found in 1947. Furthermore, the central interior column is built in the shape of one of the posts around which a European-style Torah scroll is traditionally wound; this suggests an attempt to draw the recent European past into the broader scope of Jewish history, and the religious "old country" into a secular state keenly respectful of its faith-based heritage.

Cultural & Aesthetic:The architecture of the Shrine had to compensate for the fact that, but for a handful of elect scholars, the prized scrolls contained


therein would be virtually inaccessible, as texts, to the general public. And the intention was always that the Shrine would be a place of pilgrimage for anyone who felt tied to Israeli history and culture; the idea that only elite scholars would visit was unthinkable. The iconic building was meant to instill in every visitor a profound feeling of national and religious history, and a sense of their place within that history. In a sense, the Shrine itself is a metonym for the scrolls: it stands for the things it contains, offers a representational experience of them on a grand scale.
Structurally, the Shrine's primary material (reinforced concrete with glazed terra cotta cladding) is very modern, but the building's self-aware symbolic performance, and its almost pastiche nature (the ancientform of the dome, in 20th century materials, and for a distinctly metaphoric purpose), suggest that it is at least partially a product of postmodernism as well.

Historical:

The Shrine of the Book is not just a repository for historic objects, but a building that is itself, through its symbolic form as well as its distinctive physical presence, a historic object. Modern architecture in Israel was, during the British Mandate, largely geared toward the development of urban centers; even after independence, Brutalism prevailed as a functional, efficient, and, significantly, unsentimental means of providing housing and workspace for the people who had just fought for, or were flocking to, a new nation still an imperiled and dangerous place. The Shrine of the Book occupies a unique place in the construction of


the period, in that its aesthetic project can be read as almost indulgent, leisurely, suggesting a time when war will have ended, and one would be free to be surrounded entirely by art.

General Assessment:Israel has a national Heritage Site list, but the Shrine of the Book is not on it. Nevertheless, while it is clear that the Shrine is indeed appreciated and maintained as a site of metonymic significance---that is, the container valued for the thing it contains-- the Shrine itself could justifiably be promoted as significant in its own right, as a work of Modern architecture, and as a marker of a moment in the cultural history of Israel.

Joseph Cox – Why All the Snowden Docs Should Be Public: An Interview with Cryptome

Ever since the phrase “Information wants to be free” was first uttered in the early 80s, activists have campaigned for technology to act as a vehicle for knowledge. We’ve since seen the advent of the internet, the proliferation of personal computers, and the rise of whistleblowing sites.

Before Snowden and Wikileaks grabbed the headlines, there was Cryptome. Launched in 1996, the website, or “digital library,” as its owners John Young and Deborah Natsios describe it, is a tome of classified documents. Including everything from lists of MI6 agents to details on nuclear technology, the archive currently stands at over 71,600 files, spanning nearly two decades of disclosures.

Among those is all the available information on theLLC ("BSC") is an organization which runs auctions of cattle. Local sellers bring their stock to the stockyards for sale and in the event they are not purchased promptly, BSC buys the leftover cattle to hold temporarily and to later resell at auction. This process is designed to assist local sellers and to keep prices at a stable level. According to federal law, BSC cannot profit from these in-house purchase/resale transactions.
Debtor Chris Henry Smith ("Debtor") had been one of the owners of Taylor County Stockyards ("TCS") during 2006 and sold his interest in TCS to BSC in late 2006. Thus BSC is the successor by purchase of TCS and its operations. By January 2007, BSC hired Debtor as its manager. Debtor's duties included overseeing the day to day


activities of the stockyard, including the sales at cattle auctions held at BSC and upkeep of the stockyard.
Debtor was familiar with the Bluegrass Purchase Account ("BPA") and its legal limitations both as a prior owner of the predecessor entity and by virtue of his status as manager of BSC. Jim Akers, the CEO of BSC, told Debtor from the outset of his employment with BSC that if he used the BPA to purchase cattle for any entity other than BSC, he had to clear-up the account immediately. While Debtor was authorized to use the BPA to purchase and sell cattle for his own purposes, he had *868 to pay for them that day or within a day or two. The delay in payment however put the owners ofBSC in a financial predicament.
Debtor owns, with his wife Kelly, Green River Land and Cattle Company ("Green River"). For all practical purposes, Green River and Debtor are one and the same. No stock was ever issued for Green River. Debtor and his wife paid all of their household expenses, their mortgage and health insurance premiums out of the Green River corporate account. No corporate meetings were ever held on behalf of Green River. Kelly apparently did something with the books of the company, but to the world, Green River was Debtor. He handled everything to do with the cattle, wrote the checks for the company and was in charge of the day to day operations of the company.
Debtor regularly bought cattle at the BSC auctions for Green River


while using the BPA. Debtor testified that from January 2007 to September 2007, he purchased between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 in cattle for Green River. Debtor often failed to pay for cattle purchased for Green River using the BPA the same day purchased. Akers testified that he told Debtor it was inappropriate to use the BPA as a trading account, which was the actual result of Debtor's purchases but nonpayment for cattle for more than a few hours. He testified that he reprimanded and spoke with Debtor on numerous occasions for using the BPA to purchase cattle on behalf of Green River. In addition to its Campbellsville location, BSC owns several stockyards. Its largest stockyard is in Lexington, Kentucky. The Lexington stockyard sells much more cattle than Campbellsville, yetof the cattle. Essentially, Debtor's inappropriate use of the BPA was forcing the owners of BSC to finance Debtor's Green River cattle operations which was a violation of federal law and subjecting the owners of BSC to financial hardship and potentially severe losses.
On September 15, 2007, BSC held a cattle auction at its facility. Debtor admitted that he purchased 162 head of cattle at that auction on the BPA. Debtor claimed he purchased the cattle for BSC. Later on the same date as the auction, the record shows that Debtor directed Jeanine Pruitt, the Office Manager of BSC, to transfer the cattle purchased on the BPA to Green River. As had become Debtor's practice, he did not promptly pay for the cattle purchased on September 15, 2007.
Akers did


not become aware of the receivable due BSC from Debtor/Green River until Monday morning, September 17, 2007 when he reviewed the sale records. Akers then realized he needed to borrow money to pay the sellers of the 162 head of cattle sold on the prior Saturday as neither Debtor or Green River had paid for the cattle that day. Further, Akers telephoned the Chairman of the Board of BSC, i.e., his boss, about the unpaid purchase, the borrowing necessary to cover the checks written to the sellers and Debtor's *869 latest transgression. In the phone call, Akers received authority to terminate Debtor's employment. Akers then notified Debtor later that morning by phone that his employment had been terminated. Akers later learned that the 162 head of cattle werenot on the stockyards property and had apparently disappeared between the close of business on Saturday September 15, 2007 and Monday morning September 17, 2007.
Debtor testified that he had no idea what happened to the 162 head of cattle purchased on the BPA on September 15, 2007 and that he did not take them from the stockyards premises. He testified that they were on the stockyard grounds when he left work on September 15, 2007. Debtor also testified that he delayed payment for the cattle because he was outraged at his termination from BSC. Debtor claimed that he paid BSC for all the cattle he purchased for Green River on the BPA except for the $45,000 in dispute in the case. He also claimed that BSC should know


where the cattle went since it was in control of the stockyard premises.
BSC claims the cattle were taken from its premises after hours during the remaining part of the weekend after the close of business on September 15, 2007. It suggests that Debtor could have driven the cattle to his parents' farm which is just a fence away from the stockyards. A knowledgeable cattleman could have easily dismantled part of the fence, driven the cattle to Debtors' parents' property and trucked them to parts unknown thereafter without raising an eyebrow in the community. Debtor denies that he had any part in such a plan.
BSC records also show that Debtor through Green River ordered significant veterinary care for the cattle on the stockyard's premises on September 15, 2007. Aninvoice from the September 15, 2007 contains charges for 154 head of cattle doctored by Keith Andrews, D.V.M. The invoice was submitted by Dr. Andrews to Green River. Debtor contends that these cattle were not the ones purchased on the BPA at the auction on September 15, 2007, but were another set of cattle that he had previously bought (and paid for in November 2007 after suit was filed) and then brought from the Green River farm to the stockyard on September 15, 2007. He claims the cattle were in good shape and he wanted them vaccinated before he resold them on behalf of Green River.
Dr. Andrews testified that it would have been unusual for Debtor to bring cattle in from his own farm to be doctored on


administered to the cattle at that particular time.
The barn manager at BSC testified that all cattle that were sold at the September 15, 2007, auction were doctored by Dr. Andrews. No outside cattle were brought in to be doctored by Dr. Andrews. He testified it would have been unusual to have 150 head of cattle brought in to be doctored on the same date as a BSC auction.
Jeanine Pruitt testified that at the end of the sale on September 15, 2007 there *870 were 162 head of cattle listed on the BPA and that $45,000 is still owed on this purchase. That was an unusually large dollar amount for BSC to carry on its accounts. On September 15, 2007, there were eight pages of change orders from oneestablished by direct, as well as circumstantial, evidence. In re Horton, 372 B.R. 349 (Bankr.W.D.Ky. 2007).
The evidence presented at trial establishes that BSC carried its burden of proof on each required element of § 523(a)(2)(A). The Debtor gained property, cattle, by purchasing them through the BPA for either his own personal profit or that of Green River. The Debtor knew that at the time he made the purchase that Green River would later sell the cattle on its own account for profit. BSC relied on Debtor's representations as the manager of its stockyard that he would not use the BPA as a trading account. BSC's reliance on Debtor's actions and statements were reasonable based on past dealings with Debtor, his position as manager of the stockyard and this

Plant life extension programs are maintaining capacity, in USA particularly.

Today there are some 437 nuclear power reactors operating in 31 countries plus Taiwan, with a combined capacity of over 380 GWe. In 2014 these provided 2411 billion kWh, over 11% of the world’s electricity.

Over 60 power reactors are currently being constructed in 13 countries plus Taiwan (see Table below), notably China, South Korea, UAE and Russia.

Nuclear plant construction

Most reactors currently planned are in the Asian region, with fast-growing economies and rapidly-rising electricity demand.

Many countries with existing nuclear power programs (Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Rep., India, Pakistan, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Korea, South Africa, UAE, Ukraine, UK, USA) have plans to build new power reactors (beyond those now under construction).

In all, over 160 power reactors with a


a further 6000 MWe is proposed.

Romania‘s second power reactor istarted up in 2007, and plans are being implemented for two further Canadian units to be built there.

Slovakia is completing two 470 MWe units at Mochovce, to operate from 2017.

Bulgaria is planning to build a large new reactor at Kozloduy.

Belarus is building two large new Russian reactors at Ostrovets.

In Russia, six reactors and two small ones are under active construction, one large one being a large fast neutron reactor. About 30 further reactors are then planned, some to to replace existing plants. This will increase the country’s present nuclear power capacity by 50% by 2030. In addition about 5 GW of nuclear thermal capacity is planned. A small floating power plant is expected to be completed by 2016 andothers are planned to follow.

Poland is planning two 3000 MWe nuclear power plants.

South Korea plans to bring a further further four reactors into operation by 2018, and another eight by about 2030, giving total new capacity of 17,200 MWe. All of these are the Advanced PWRs of 1400 MWe. These APR-1400 designs have evolved from a US design which has US NRC design certification, and four been sold to the UAE (see below).

Japan has two reactors under construction but another three which were likely to start building by mid 2011 have been deferred.

In China, now with 29 operating reactors on the mainland, the country is well into the next phase of its nuclear power programme. There were seven new grid connections to end of October in 2015. Over


Two larger Chinese power reactors are planned.

In Kazakhstan, a joint venture with Russia’s Atomstroyexport envisages development and marketing of innovative small and medium-sized reactors, starting with a 300 MWe Russian design as baseline for Kazakh units.

In Iran a 1000 MWe PWR at Bushehr came on line in 2011, and further units are planned.

Alice awakens from a terrible sleep to find her worst fears realized--the bloodthirsty Undead, which she and the now-annihilated squad of elite military fought to destroy, have been unleashed on the city that surrounds the secret facility of the Umbrella Corporation. Discovering she was an Umbrella experiment, Alice has been bio-genetically enhanced with new strengths, senses and dexterity--and she will need them. In the heart of the ravaged Raccoon City, a small group of uninfected people, including Jill Valentine, a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp's elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.) team, and S.T.A.R.S team leader Carlos Oliveira, fight for their lives against swarms of Undead and the deadlier and faster Lickers. Running out of luck and resources, the group is rescued by Alice, and theybegin to wage an exhilarating battle to survive and escape before the Umbrella Corporation erases its experiment from the face of the earth. Their only hope lies somewhere within Raccoon City--Dr Charles Ashford, one of the leading scientists for the Umbrella Corporation, will help Alice and the others escape the city safely--if they find his daugther. Angie Ashford became separated from her father andnow hides in fear. Alice, Jill and Carlos will have to fight their way through an army of Undead to save her. All the while, a secret weapon code-named Nemesis has been experimentally altered with greater modifications than Alice and has been programmed to track and destroy them. They will need all their strengths and skills to fight the battle of their lives against the

A case story: Flora and her son, Jimmy

Flora met Bill one Sunday when she was out having dinner with her girlfriends. Bill had been living and working in Hong Kong for over seven years. The two were instantly attracted to each other and, soon after, started what Flora believed to be a serious relationship. A few months later, Flora found out she was pregnant and broke the news to Bill. Instead of being supportive, Bill denied he was the father and refused to see Flora again. She was heartbroken. She was single with no experience in pregnancy. She was left alone to handle the situation and couldn’t imagine what life would be like for


HERE is a tip for players to avoid embarrassment.

Understand the rules and how they can be applied.

Understand what happens with score reviews and countdown clocks.

Understand how various grounds' scoreboards display certain information.

It's important, because the reality is Greater Western Sydney and Geelong made moves in games six days apart in rounds nine and 10 that were the difference between winning and losing because they were switched on to such things better than their opposition.

The coaches – to their credit – understood the decisions and backed the umpires after both matches.

However, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has since made the salient point that his players were caught out when Shai Bolton's 'goal' late in the game against the Giants in round nine was overturned through score review after it wasround eight.

If the umpires don't call for a review, get on with the game, because the moment has gone.

At Simonds Stadium, with Port Adelaide three points up against Geelong, Charlie Dixon took a mark inside 50 but was caught out by old thinking that says take your time.

Play on: Charlie Dixon gets the handball away as Mitch Duncan storms in. Picture: AFL Photos

As soon as the umpire signalled a mark had been taken, the countdown clock began ticking, allowing Dixon 30 seconds to begin his approach to goal.

Watch: Charlie Dixon loses track of time after mark

Some have argued the countdown should have begun when Dixon stood up, as he fell to the ground when he took the mark.

The truth is, an umpire can use his or her discretion


to call to him to play on before the 30, but understand we've been looking at the clock and that it is ticking down."

Cats midfielder Mitch Duncan also twigged to the situation when he heard the umpire yell in Dixon's direction he had eight seconds left.

Dixon clearly didn't hear that call, his mind focusing on the set shot, but there is only so much an umpire can do to make him aware.

As Port's Brad Ebert said on Monday, Dixon's teammates probably had some responsibility to hurry him up.

The fact that Duncan, Lachie Henderson and Selwood were so switched on to the situation is a credit to them and played a significant role in Geelong winning the game. Port Adelaide's players weren't.

Perhaps the Cats knew to look at thewas devised by Garret Ihler and Karin Ippen. Complementary strands of the gene,  carried within non-complementary strands of viral DNA, from viruses transducing the gene in reverse orientations which had been separated by a poly U,G density-gradient technique, were annealed to form double-stranded DNA. The single-stranded DNA was then removed using a single-strand specific DNase under investigation in the Thomas laboratory, leaving the double-stranded gene intact. The elegant electron micrographs of the pre- and post-digested DNA were taken by MacHatty in the Thomas  laboratory.  Before and following this experiment, Beckwith made important contributions to the study of bacterial genetics.  His studies include the mechanisms of protein secretion, disulfide bond formation, and cell division.  In addition, he is a prominent speaker on the social


Why People in N.Korea's 'Rice Bowl' Are Starving

Thousands of people are starving to death in North Korea's South Hwanghae Province even though it is the country's rice bowl, according to a defector.

"Villages in remote mountains can resort to slash-and-burn farming to survive, but in lowland areas where there are only cooperative farms, 30 to 40 people in each village starve to death every year," said Choi Myong-chol (not his real name), who used to handle crop harvests in Haeju, South Hwanghae Province. "The reason is that their entire harvest is confiscated," he told the activist website NK Reform.

The Tokyo Shimbun reported in April that 20,000 North Koreans starved to death in South Hwanghae Province after Kim Jong-il's death. "The reality there is that farmers have no choice butWARSAW (Reuters) - Poland ruling conservatives has promised tax breaks for small companies and big spending on children, the elderly and infrastructure, as the party readies for a series of elections amid sliding support.

Support for the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party has fallen after contested financial rewards for ministers, protests against a further tightening of the abortion law and a diplomatic spat with Israel and the United States.

The party, which won in late 2015 on promises of vast social spending and restoring conservative values in the overwhelmingly Catholic Poland, had enjoyed popularity of above 40 percent, but a latest poll showed that support for the united liberal opposition overtook PiS for the first time.

Over the weekend, at its annual convention, the party promised


Like Berlioz, whose observation of the inanities perpetrated by virtuoso composers prompted him to express relief at his own lack of
keyboard facility, Wilfred Josephs is anything but a fluent pianist. At one time he regarded the piano as an alien medium. But in
1963 the Canadian pianist Neil van Allen asked him to write a solo work. The request, which resulted in the Second Piano Sonata,
Op. 40, forced Josephs into a new, stimulating rapprochement with the instrument. The First Piano Concerto followed in 1965;
and by 1966, when the Fourteen Studies were written "for Rhondda Gillespie, Jay Blech, and Yonty Solomon," no suspicion of
unease remained in the composer's handling of the piano. Reviewing Rhondda Gillespie's 1967 world premiere of the complete
set at the Cheltenham Festival, the Daily Telegraph critic PeterStadlen - himself a pianist of some stature - remarked that it was
"refreshing to encounter some pieces that have been invented straight out of the instrument. New slants," he went on to say, "are
offered an venerable problems, diatonic thirds, leaps, but new problems are broached, too."

The combination of fresh ideas with a fruitful relation to tradition could well stand as a capsule definition of Josephs's stylistic
approach over the years, though it is only relatively recently that his achievement has begun to catch up with his potential, and his
reputation with his achievement. Works that he wrote as far back as the mid-1950s show a composer with an already recognizable
personality, but one not yet emancipated from the fairly innocuous style endemic in Britain at the time. For Josephs a wider
perspective


opened when he won a Leverhulme Scholarship in 1958. Technically well prepared by his studies with Arthur Milner in
Newcastle and with Alfred Nieman at the Guildhall School in London he went now to Paris for a year to study with Max Deutsch, and the issue of 12-note serialism was joined in earnest. Maitre Deutsch was himself a distinguished
Schoenberg pupil. His teaching clearly helped the young composer to assimilate the lessons of the Second Viennese School and to
come out, as it were on the other side, at a time when few of his compatriots had ventured beyond the boundaries of the familiar
English pastoral-historical-tragical manner.

Like other Josephs works of the 1960s, the Fourteen Studies combine an arrestingly individual use of techniques derived from
serialism with a new freedom from the gripwith a large climax.
No.9 - Prestissimo: Octaves in one hand against chromatic scales in the other which change over, sempre pp.
No.10 - Moderato: A study in trills.
No.11 - Allegro con fuoco: On the playing of grace notes and clusters.
No.12 - Moderato: Left-hand melody on the middle of three staves.
No.13 - Agitato ma leggiero: A study in larger-than-octave leaps.
No.14 - Andante: The final study employing first the left hand alone, then the right hand alone, then combining both sections to make
a composite finale.

In the gradual shift of contemporary music back to practices once regarded as seditious - the expressive use of tonal harmony, and
particularly, the writing of real tunes - it was natural that a composer blessed with Josephs's outstanding melodic gift should soon
have found himself in the vanguard.


To this resource, supported as it was by the constructive underpinning of his serial legacy, the
music of his maturity has added two other especially fertile lines of interest.

Works like the choral and orchestral Mortales of 1967-9 and the masterly Fourth Symphony of 1967-70 began to explore the
integration of stringently controlled aleatoric elements into a musical language that otherwise remained fully determinate.
Meanwhile, the 1965 Canzonas on a Theme of Rameau proved prophetic in two respects. It proved to be one in a series of works
that have derived a world of illuminating and touching allusiveness from their retrospective evocations of various pre-existing musics
(works like the seventh and ninth symphonies. Tombeaux for organ, and the String Quartet No.4 composed in honour of Haydn's
25Oth birthday in 1982).

More specifically, Canzonas was a firsthomage to the French baroque composer who was to be featured alongside Mazart in what is probably the finest of all Josephs's now numerous keyboard works: Doubles, composed between 1970 and 1973, and subtitled "Twice 22 doubles on 2 themes by 2 composers for 2 pianos." As the composer has noted, the piece is full of double entendres, beginning with the title itself, since "doubles" is an old-fashioned term for variations.

The two themes are taken from Mozart's A minor Rondo for piano, K. 511, written in 1787, and from Rameau's La Poule (The
Hen), the most famous piece in his Nouvelles Suites de Pièces de Clavecin of c. 1728. A section-by-section roadmap of the music would be merely confusing, since many of the variations flow into each other without

The Cologne Domino Team after the Falldown of CDT 2013 (with two special guests on the left bottom side)

What is that - the Cologne Domino Team? We are a group of young people from Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland who all share their passion for setting up dominoes.

Founded in 2007 the Cologne Domino Team performed its first event in May 2008 and set its first personal record at over 70,000 toppled dominoes.

Since then we have constantly been expanding in all dimensions. We invited more team members, acquired lots and lots of new dominoes and continued to improve our event and set a new record of
toppled dominoes every year.

Right now the Cologne Domino Team is one of the number one world wide organizations to plan, create, organize andtrucking permits. Although the Site Evaluation Committee holds public hearings and invites residents to voice their concerns, it has rejected a wind project application only once, in Antrim, where Audubon Society land was a factor.

The nearby 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest remains a magnet that draws thousands of visitors to New Hampshire. Cardigan Mountain, which offers a breathtaking panorama of Mount Monadnock and the White Mountains, as well as Camel’s Hump in Vermont and Pleasant Mountain in Maine, is one of the most frequently hiked mountains in the state.

The outburst of violence has thrown a fragile peace into jeopardy – a peace agreement ending a two year civil war was only negotiated in August 2015.

British nationals have been advised to leave the country and non-essential embassy staff are being withdrawn.

“South Sudan today marked the most horrifying Independence Day in the world this year,” said government official James Gatdet Dak on Facebook.

Another resident, Buay Joshua De Kapduel, wrote simply: "Unhappy 5th Independence Day".

Clashes between the forces of former rivals President Salva Kiir and vice president Riek Machar began for unknown reasons on Thursday and continued on Friday. Gunfire erupted near the presidential residence in the


capital, Juba, where the leaders were meeting for talks. Witnesses later reported seeing corpses on the lawn.

Both leaders said they did not know what had triggered the fighting between their factions and called for calm.

William Gatjiath Deng, spokesman for Mr Machar's military faction, said the fighting had occurred near the state house and in army barracks.

"In the morning we collected and counted 35 [dead] from the SPLM-IO (Machar's faction) and 80 people from the government forces," he said.

Deng said the death toll could rise on the side of Mr Machar "because there are some soldiers seriously wounded".

The government side had no immediate comment on the situation.

The fighting was not restricted to Juba and also hit a UN compound south west of the city. Fighters reportedly waited until womenand children went into the base to fire on it.

Unicef has condemned the violence and in a statement said it is “deeply alarmed” by the news. “Children and their families in South Sudan have suffered enough from violence, displacement and killings in this brutal conflict. It is time that peace becomes more than agreements on paper, but a reality for those who are most vulnerable,” said Unicef's Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, Leila Pakkala.

Thursday and Friday's gunfights were the first major outbreak of violence in the capital since Mr Machar returned to the capital in April after his re-appointment as vice president.

Witnesses said Juba was calm but tense on Saturday, with road blocks mounted on some streets. Heavy military vehicles could be seen patrolling and most


was hurt and State Department spokesman John Kirby said he believed the vehicles were not intentionally targeted.

Africa's newest nation is emerging from a two-year civil war which started in December 2013 after Mr Kiir sacked Mr Machar as vice president.

The conflict was largely fought along ethnic lines with Mr Kiir mostly drawing support from his Dinka tribe while Mr Machar was backed by his Nuer tribe.The sabor of South Texas will soon be rolling up to Austin. Beloved Laredo-based Taco Palenque, which has locations throughout the Rio Grande Valley and north to Houston, San Antonio and New Braunfels, plans to open a food truck in Austin this summer.

Owner�Juan Francisco Ochoa (Don Pancho) opened the first Taco Palenque in Laredo in 1987, several years after selling the American rights to El Pollo Loco, which he also founded. The fast-casual restaurant specializes in grilled beef and chicken plates and tacos, and is well known for its massive pirata, a taco slathered with refried beans and draped with juicy grilled fajita meat and melted cheddar cheese.

The restaurants make their own excellent corn and flour tortillas, the latter soft, chewy and spotted with marks from the grill,�and


feature fresh salsa bars, with several salsa offerings, grilled jalapenos, pickled and raw onions, cilantro, pico de gallo and more. A visit to Taco Palenque will make you totally rethink the idea of fast-casual Mexican food.

Ochoa and his team told me last week in Laredo that the truck will �feature several of the restaurant�s most popular items on a smaller menu than that found in their 20+ locations throughout Texas. They are not sure where the truck will be located and say there is a strong possibility the truck could lead to multiple Austin brick-and-mortar locations of the massively popular family-owned chain of restaurants, which expanded to New Braunfels four years ago.

On 24 November 2010 Xaver Hausner, a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar from Germany who is being hosted by the Rotary Club of Pencarrow (District 9940), and his friend and flatmate, Oliver Macindoe, will leave Cape Reinga on a 3360 kilometer journey to Bluff.

What started out as a private journey being undertaken by two friends has become a major fundraising opportunity for one of Rotary’s major global fundraising campaigns – PolioPlus.

Xaver and Ollie decided their journey would be much more meaningful if they could use it to recognise Xaver’s gratitude for the opportunity Rotary gave him to come to New Zealand to study and also to support the global campaign to eradicate polio from the planet.

Their initial fundraising efforts were quite modest – asking friends and family


to the tour.

There is a real opportunity to leverage this journey for all the best reasons and to provide a huge amount of focus on the global Rotary campaign to achieve polio eradication.

The way Rotary Districts and Clubs can take part:

District activities

District Governors formally endorse the project as a Zone 7B project and advise all clubs accordingly

The website which was developed for the motorcycle PolioPlus campaign be re-developed to be a significant campaign resource – sponsorship is being sought for this

A small publicity and promotion committee will prepare a set of standard resources for clubs to use to promote the tour and the PolioPlus campaign

The same group will look for and facilitate national and regional media opportunities

Districts distribute resources to clubs

District publicity committees coordinate district publicity and mediathe tax benefit of their donations

The fundraising efforts of each club be recognised (dollars raised per individual member to generate some gentle competition) by regular updates of achievements on the dedicated website

Clubs can host Xaver and Ollie while they are on the road by providing overnight accommodation – this will be coordinated through D9940 cyclists support group

Clubs should seek sponsorship from local businesses for their segment

Clubs be encouraged to get members, families and friends and local heroes to get on their own bikes and join Xaver and Ollie as they come through town so there is a real media event every day on the tour during a slack part of the year for local news media

Clubs can raise awareness of the global polio eradication programme in local news


Rotary Club.

Rotary Club of Pencarrow and Rotary Club of Wellington have sponsored out of pocket expenses for things like new tires etc to the tune of $500 for each of the cyclists

A national publicity and promotion campaign has been developed to ensure the fundraising effort achieves a significant profile in national news media. Paper attached

At the suppression hearing two officers with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department testified that they were working a burglary deterrence action plan on an August evening. Sometime between eleven and midnight they received a dispatch call regarding "a couple of black males standing behind a closed church in a dark alleyway." The officers drove to the area and stopped, and one of them exited the vehicle and saw two black males sitting[1] under a tree in an area which was half-way between a closed church and an apartment complex. The church and the residences essentially backed up to one another, with an alley in between them. Thus, the backyard of the residential complex was on the alleyway on one side, and the


back of the church was on the other side.
Before announcing his presence, the officer observed the men sitting and rummaging into their pockets. He believed that they were in an area "where normal people wouldn't be," in the dark behind closed businesses and a church. The officers were on a team to deter burglaries, although the officers never testified that there had been burglaries in the area or that it was a "high crime" area. The officer's intent at that point was to investigate the men. He did not intend to search them but just to make contact with them.
The officer approached and announced his presence, saying "Police." He did not order the men to stop. The men stood up and ran around the corner of the residence.The officer followed them and stopped them as they tried to enter the residence, briefly struggling with appellant Hunter. After the officer subdued Hunter, Hunter gave him an incorrect name. The officer arrested him, searched him, and found cocaine.[2]
Based upon the totality of circumstances, the trial court found that the officers had reasonable suspicion of loitering and prowling sufficient to stop Hunter and his co-defendant. The officers had received a dispatch reporting "suspicious activity" of two males sitting behind a closed church in a dark alleyway. The first officer saw the men with their hands in their pockets, and the men ran away when the officers announced their presence. The court determined that when the officers captured Hunter and he gave them an incorrect name, they had probable


the officers, she turned and walked briskly in the opposite direction and disappeared around a corner. The officers pursued her and saw her ducking behind a vehicle. She continued to flee, and the officers detained her. They arrested her for loitering and prowling, and a search revealed drugs.
Because the officers observed no conduct which raised a justifiable and reasonable alarm that a breach of the peace or threat to public safety was imminent, we held that the officers did not have reasonable suspicion to stop Hollingsworth. Mere presence in an area of closed businesses at a late hour was insufficient to raise an alarm of immediate threat to public safety. The mere fact that she fled and attempted to conceal herself after observing the police could not beUpdates

Their research, the first confirmation of early models on how sex chromosomes diverge within the same species, was published in Nature Communications.

Arkansas stalwart Stephan is a quality pick in the third round, while Otto and Lehnen both hit 94 but have some concerns about durability and command. Smith has power and patience, so much that he was pitched around in highthe campus bubble to watch the professionals take to the ‘stage’.

It was so exiting to watch the Kaiser Chiefs (Johannesburg soccer team) play City (Cape Town football squad) in an epic match at the Cape Town stadium, the iconic field from the World Cup in 2010. It was one of the closest games I’ve watched and City thankfully won in the last thirty seconds. The stadium erupted in happiness! The vuvuzelas’ made their presence loud and clear.

While the IKEY’s games at campus were fun to watch, it was great to be immersed within an energetic crowd; like the one that was present at the soccer match. But the combination of a great crowd and an intense rugby game made for a new level of experience!

With my IES program


I was able to see the local professional rugby team, the Stormers. Rugby, similar to football in Europe and ‘football’ in the United States, is treated almost as a religion. The stadium was packed, the vibe was lively, and the players were delivering a great show!

The entire crowd was on their feet and the air was electric with competitive spirit and energy! It was a tough game, good plays from both teams were made, but we ended up triumphing over the New Zealand team. My night got even better when I realized that I had made it onto International television, being one of the members of the crowd on the live footage! There is no doubt that sports can make you feel enhanced emotions of elation and frustration.Sports can make you cry in defeat, can make you laugh in frustration, but most importantly can make you celebrate as a united front.

In my newfound fondness of rugby, I found that an emotional history coincided with the emergence of the sports popularity nationwide. The white dominated sport during apartheid had become a uniting platform during the 1995 World Rugby Final, held just a year after the first democratic election of Nelson Mandela and the lifting of sports related sanctions. In a stadium full of a majority white South Africans, Mandela came running out to support his nation as the first black president in a traditionally ‘white man’s game’. As my IES instructor said, ‘for many, starting in that moment, Nelson Mandela had become the president to the


entirety of South Africa’.

When the Springboks went on to beat the New Zealand national team, the majority black population was alongside their fellow white South African population cheering for the victory. This story enhances my love for sports and the many world wide cultures that go with them. The same spirit that can make you hug a stranger after your team scores a goal, can also unite a nation; even if its only just for a moment.Worldwide Music News from The Steel City

Umphrey’s McGee played their first-ever New Year’s Eve show on December 31, 2000 at the Cubby Bear in their hometown of Chicago. From that night through December 31, 2010 UM rang in the New Year at various Chicago venues. In 2011, the band moved the festivities to St. Louis and then alternated between Atlanta and Denver for the next four New Year’s runs. This year, Umphrey’s McGee will finally bring New Year’s back to The Windy City.

The band made the announcement via Twitter this evening after keyboardist Joel Cummins said as much from stage and as of press time have not shared any specifics. Here’s what @UmphreysMcGee had to say:

More than 6,000 veterans killed themselves each year between 2008 and 2016. In 2016, 202 people died by suicide in Georgia. And between 2015 and 2016, the suicide rate per 100,000 people for veterans ages 18 to 34 increased from 40.4 to 45 nationwide, despite the VA’s efforts to tackle the problem.

In 2013, the VA disclosed that two of its officials had retired, three had been reprimanded and others were facing unspecified “actions” after reports of rampant mismanagement and patient deaths at the VA hospital in Decatur. Federal inspectors issued scathing audits that linked mismanagement to the deaths of three veterans there.

In one case, a man who was trying to see a VA psychiatrist who was unavailable was told by hospital workers to take public transportation to anemergency room. He never did and died by suicide the next day. Another man died of an apparent drug overdose after providers failed to connect him with a psychiatrist. And a third patient died of an overdose of drugs given to him by another patient. The death of a fourth veteran, who killed himself in a hospital bathroom, later came to light.

In 2014, the Atlanta center drew attention again after the murder-suicide of Marine veteran Kisha Holmes. She killed her three children and then herself at the family’s Cobb County apartment. VA officials knew she was in distress and had identified her as a suicide risk.

And in November, the Government Accountability Office released a report saying the Veterans Health Administration had spent only $57,000 of the $6.2 million

"He decided he didn't want to continue his football career," said Kingsbury. The decision was made by Murphy on Sunday.

When pressed if Murphy's departure was a "medical retirement," Kingsbury wryly said he "wasn't sure how you would phrase it."

According to Texas Tech, the 6-foot-6, 310-pound sophomore lineman appeared in five games in the 2015 season with four starts, including his career start against UTEP, before being injured during the Baylor game. Murphy didn't return during that season.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

January 23, 2014

Boaters discovered 25 dead pilot whales off the southwest coast on Thursday, raising the death toll to 33. The whales were found on Kice Island, south of Naples and near Marco Island, said Blair Mase, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stranding coordinator. They appeared to have been there for about a day, and were part of a pod first seen Sunday. The whales were found two days after eight others were found dead near Lovers Key, 40 miles north. The deaths also come about a month after more than 50 whales were found stranded in the Everglades. The cause of death has not been determined. Pilot whales are susceptible to mass strandings because they are often unwilling to

Skyward CEO Cliff King will present the check to Halverson at 9 a.m. Tuesday as part of the tax incremental financing arrangement with the city. Halverson said about half of that money will be used under terms of the agreement to augment infrastructure near the headquarters in anticipation of increased traffic.

Public transportation also will expand to the area.

The rest of the money from SkyGroup will be used to make the land available for the project. The location had originally been designated for a different development project, which has since moved across the street.

Department for possession of marijuana with the intent to sell. Gill, who is African-
American, moved to suppress the evidence recovered from his stop based on the officer's
unreasonable use of race to initiate the stop. The district court agreed and granted Gill's
motion to suppress the evidence. On appeal, the State argues that the evidence was
insufficient to support the district court's holding that the officer unreasonably used race
in deciding to initiate the enforcement action. We disagree. Accordingly, we affirm.

        Late on the afternoon of September 11, 2017, Hutchinson Police Officer James
Sanders, who is white, was sent to an apartment complex to investigate a reported theft
case. Sanders was not provided any


other information and was not looking for any
particular suspects at the time. More specifically, he was not told by dispatch that he
should be on the lookout for two African-American men in a SUV. Further, he had not
met previously either Gill or his passenger, Fatir Hines, and he had no previous
information about them, including whether either was involved in any type of drug or
theft activity. When Sanders arrived at the apartment complex, he was aware or
recognized that the two men in the nearby SUV were African-American.

        Sanders' body-worn camera showed that as he was getting out of his patrol car, he
shouted, "You guys call?" toward the SUV occupied by the two African-American males.

turned back towards the SUV and while walking about eight steps to the passenger door,
asked, "Where you all from?" He received a reply, "Not here." When the driver, later
identified as Gill, started to drive away, Sanders let Gill know that he was not free to

          Sanders walked up to the SUV, he told Gill to place his car in the park mode.
          Sanders acknowledged that he knew Gill and Hines had not called him about
          the theft case. In so doing, Sanders stated the following: "I know you didn't

          from Gill's SUV because another parked vehicle and the apartment complex
          were nearer to his patrol car than Gill's SUV. Here, the district court judge
          made a credibility determination. He determined that Sanders' testimony that
          the smell of marijuana was coming from Gill's SUV was not credible. As the
          district court judge pointed out, from where Sanders' patrol car was located, the
       Indeed, Sanders implicitly conceded in his testimony that was unsure the smell of
marijuana was coming from Gill's SUV until he spoke with Gill at his SUV. Sanders
testified: "[A]s I walked toward the vehicle that scent grew stronger. As I was speaking
with [Gill] I was a hundred percent sure that marijuana was in that vehicle." Thus, until
Sanders spoke with Gill at his SUV, Sanders was not certain that the smell of marijuana
was coming from Gill's SUV. Moreover, Sanders' testimony supports the district court
judge's factual finding that Sanders' testimony that he smelled marijuana coming from
Gill's SUV immediately upon getting out of his patrol car was not credible. Therefore, if
the smell of marijuana factor is removed from this case, the rest of Sanders' alleged
unbiased reason for deciding to initiate the


policing because the Legislature recognized that racial bias is not always overt, it is
often subtle.

       Indeed, the former top law enforcement officer of this country once reminded us
of the dark history of law enforcement in this country: "All of us in law enforcement
must be honest enough to acknowledge that much of our history is not pretty," he said.
"At many points in American history, law enforcement enforced the status quo, a status
quo that was often brutally unfair to disfavored groups." He further noted that there has
been significant research showing that all people have some form of unconscious racial
biases. He stated that most people cannot help their instinctive biases. But he challenged
all law enforcement officers "to design systems and processes to overcome that very

the Hutchinson Police Department, a Marine Corps veteran, used race as the basis to
initiate a law enforcement action against Davon M. Gill, an African-American, who was
subsequently arrested for possession of marijuana with the intent to sell after drugs were
found in his car. Because I strongly disagree with the majority's affirmation of this unjust
finding, I dissent.

Council members this week signed on to support a measure that would offer public financing to local candidates who forgo corporate or PAC contributions.

At-large Council member David Grosso, who crafted the bill, said the effort is meant to ensure even those without big-money backers have a shot at public office in the city, which has seen a string of scandals related to the funding of local campaigns.

Under the proposed Fair Elections Act of 2017, candidates would be eligible to receive matching payments on small campaign donations. In exchange for the public financing, participating candidates would no longer be able to accept direct corporate contributions or traditional political action committee contributions.

The contribution limits would be tiered depending on the office being sought, ranging from a

She has since clarified that statement, noting that the show is simply on extended hiatus as she continues with touring and film work.
