Time magazine has named "the Silence Breakers" - women and men who spoke out against sexual abuse and harassment - as its "Person of the Year".

The movement is most closely associated with the #MeToo hashtag which sprung up as allegations emerged against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

But Time says the hashtag is "part of the picture, but not all of it".

"This is the fastest-moving social change we've seen in decades," editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said.

He told NBC's Today programme that it "began with individual acts of courage by hundreds of women - and some men, too- who came forward to tell their own stories".

The magazine illustrates the ubiquitous nature of sexual harassment by showcasing women from markedly different backgrounds on its cover.

Two celebrities are featured - Ashley Judd, one of the first to speak out against Mr Weinstein, and pop singer Taylor Swift, who won a civil case against an ex-DJ who she said had grabbed her bottom.

They are shown alongside Isabel Pascual, a 42-year-old strawberry picker from Mexico (not her real name); Adama Iwu, a 40-year-old corporate lobbyist in Sacramento; and Susan Fowler, 26, a former Uber engineer whose allegation brought down Uber's CEO.

But many more people are identified as part of the movement behind the cover shot.

This "moment", the magazine says, "doesn't have a leader, or a single, unifying tenet. The


actor Terry Crews, a group of hotel workers who have filed a lawsuit against their employer, State Senator Sara Gelser, an anonymous hospital worker who fears losing her job if she speaks openly, and Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News journalist whom Donald Trump accused of having "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" after she moderated a debate during the presidential campaign.

Ironically, President Trump - whose election Ms Kelly said was a "setback for women" that helps explain the #MeToo movement - was named as runner-up for Person of the Year this year, having been given the title last year.

The magazine'stradition - begun in 1927 as "Man of the Year" - recognises the person who "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year".

The great majority of people selected have been individuals - but by no means all. In 2014, "Ebola fighters" were recognised while in 2011 "The Protester" acknowledged the significance of the so-called Arab Spring.

It was in 1950, the magazine explains, that the "mould was broken" and "The American fighting-man" was chosen, to be followed by Hungarians in 1956 and later on Scientists, Americans under 25 and Mr and Mrs Middle America.

2. Case Report {#sec2}
==============

A 25-year-old Hausa apprentice boy was referred to us on account of failure to micturate and a discharging wound on the right side of the root of the penis. He was knocked off the road about six months prior to presentation, by a fast moving vehicle while riding bicycle on the highway. There was no known premorbid condition in him. He lost consciousness immediately and also sustained closed fracture of the left femur. He had initial resuscitation at the referring centre, where urethral catheter was passed among other things. The relation gave history of blood stained urine after the initial catheterization. He was on admission for about twelve weeks before he regained full consciousness. He was discharged against medicaladvice from the centre because he wanted to manage the bone fracture locally by the traditional bone setter.

He noticed difficulty with micturition soon after the urethral catheter was removed; this was characterised by occasional straining and passage of scanty urine. This necessitated presenting again in the hospital where he was recatheterised but no urine came through the catheter. At this time, he also noticed to have persistent and frequent passage of watery stool, appearance of boil at the root of the penis which later burst. There was associated fever with chills and he was unable to walk with the left lower limb.

At presentation to us, he was looking toxic, pale, and dehydrated with deformity of the left thigh the temperature was 38°C, pulse was 94 per minute, blood

People already knew about the numerous gold deposits in the area. Selling this land seemed bitchfs madness. Russian merchants were drawn to Alaska for the walrus ivory it was as Alaska bitches fucking as elephant ivory and the valuable sea otter fur, which could be procured by trading with the indigenous peoples of the region.

Trading was done Alaska bitches fucking the Russian-American Company RACwhich was started by adventurers — 18th-century Russian businessmen, courageous travelers and entrepreneurs. These privileges were granted to the company by the imperial government. The main ruler of the Russian settlements in America was the talented merchant Alexander Baranov.

He builtAlaska bitches fucking and factories, taught the native people to plant rutabaga and potatoes, built fortresses and shipyards, and expanded the sea otter trade. Under Baranov, the RAC Alaska bitches fucking in enormous revenue: When an ageing Baranov resigned his duties, he was replaced by the captain lieutenant Hagemeister, who brought with him new employees and shareholders from military circles.

Consequently, the RAC was transferred to state subsidies —rubles per year.

But even this did not save the company. Even the prospect of mining gold dimmed. There was a fear that the British might block Alaska, and then Russia would be left with Alaska bitches fucking.

Tensions between Moscow and London grew, while relations with the American authorities were warmer than ever. Both sides almost simultaneously came up with Alaska bitches fucking idea of selling Alaska.

While Alaska bitches fucking bureaucrats were negotiating, public opinion in both countries opposed the deal. The press was not alone in Alaska bitches fucking sentiment — Congress also disapproved of the purchase. But on March 30,in Washington, D. Atthat time, an unproductive plot of land in Siberia with the same surface area could have cost 1, times as much on the domestic market.

But the situation was critical — the Russians risked not even receiving this. The official handover of the land occurred in Novoarkhangelsk.

Musk had every reason to be worried before the inaugural test flight because, along with his cherry-red Tesla electric car as the payload, and a mannequin called Starman in the driving seat, the 70-metre-tall rocket was carrying the future ambitions of SpaceX.

Almost exactly a month earlier, on 7 January, a Falcon 9 rocket had taken off from the same launch pad carrying a classified cargo. All appeared to


go smoothly, but reports emerged that something had gone wrong after launch and the payload, probably a US spy satellite worth billions of dollars, had been lost. Given the secrecy surrounding the mission what happened exactly remains a mystery. As the American technology journalist Joe Pappalardo points out in his serendipitously timed book, the most important element in the intensely competitive, risky world of rocketry is reliability and SpaceX’s was on the line. Now, with the successful launch of Falcon Heavy and the spectacular simultaneous touchdown of two of its three boosters back at the cape some eight minutes after launch, SpaceX has gained a significant edge over rivals.

With "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" making box office records left and right, it's clear director J.J. Abrams' decision to use more practical effects and be less dependent on CGI has paid off.

And all the subsequent films in the beloved space saga will have a tough act to follow.

So it's no surprise that "Star Wars: Episode IX" director Colin Trevorrow said he plans to pass on digital and shoot in film instead. That's despite the fact he's fresh off a big hit with "Jurassic World," which relied heavily on digital effects. "The Force Awakens," released in December, is the seventh film in the series. Rian Johnson is directing the next installment, set for release in late 2017.

"There's something in my brain that


says, 'Well, they didn't have video cameras then,'" said Trevorrow, referring to period films, according to a Variety report. At the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday, he spoke during a panel discussion about movie theaters converting to digital projectors due to more and more directors being pressured by studios to shoot in digital formats. Trevorrow came to prominence with lo-fi indie hit "Safety Not Guaranteed."

"Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan, who was also on the panel, agreed with Trevorrow in his praise for film over digital.

"There needs to be a choice," Nolan said. "As a medium it will continue to exist. It has to continue to exist. It's pointless to pretend it has to go away."

Ironically, the creator of "Star Wars," George Lucas, was a prime mover in theindustry shifting to digital from more traditional film stock.

"The process itself is so much more malleable, so much easier to use, so much less restrictive, that it would give me a huge advantage in terms of the actual day-to-day process of making the movie and it would save me a lot of money," Lucas said in a 2009 interview with the American Film Institute.

The push to start persuading theaters to install digital projectors started with the first "Star Wars" prequel, "The Phantom Menace" in 1999, and accelerated with "Attack of the Clones" in 2002 and "Revenge of the Sith" in 2005.

Despite his illustrious predecessor believing in the benefits of digital film, Trevorrow still thinks his vision of approaching "Star Wars" with a more traditional method fits the saga's


When members of the loose protest movement known as Occupy Wall Street began a march from the financial district to Union Square on Saturday, the participants seemed relatively harmless, even as they were breaking the law by marching in the street without a permit.

But to the New York Police Department, the protesters represented something else: a visible example of lawlessness akin to that which had resulted in destruction and violence at other anticapitalist demonstrations, like the Group of 20 economic summit meeting in London in 2009 and the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle in 1999.

The Police Department’s concerns came up against a perhaps milder reality on Saturday, when their efforts to maintain crowd control suddenly escalated: protesters were corralled by police officers who put up orange meshOrazio is leading a global team covering the direct sourcing for Claims Legal Services at Swiss Re Group with team members based in five countries across four continents.

Two Local Students Feted for Their Writings

Chantilly  Two local girls were among those honored Sunday for their entries in a Grandparents Day writing contest. They are Chantilly High freshman Saru Kalva, who won first place, and Chantilly resident Rashel Bajaj, a Thomas Jefferson High freshman who came in third.

The Writers of Chantilly, a local group of professional and aspiring writers, sponsored the competition, which was held over the summer. Students wrote about their grandparents, and the winners were recognized and read their works during a Sept. 8 ceremony at the Chantilly Regional Library.

For their efforts, Kalva and Bajaj received certificates and a prize package including a Barnes & Noble gift card. They’ll also have their entries published in an upcoming Writers of Chantilly (WOC) anthology.

Houston-area law enforcement on Thursday released a sketch of a man believed to have opened fire into a car Sunday morning, killing a 7-year-old girl.

"We're not going to rest until we find justice for Jazmine,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said at a press briefing Thursday.

Jazmine Barnes, 7, was fatally shot Sunday morning after a gunman described as a white man possibly in his 30s or 40s opened fire on the car she was riding in with her mother and siblings on the way to a store at around 6:50 a.m., the sheriff's office said.

The family is black, and the shooting has raised fears among some in the community, including the mother, that

The sheriff’s office on Thursday also released new surveillance video from a nearby business showing the red truck believed to have been driven by the gunman.

Earlier Thursday, Jazmine’s mother, LaPorsha Washington, told reporters that she believes the shooter will turn himself in.

"His conscience is finally going to get to him," LaPorsha Washington, who was also shot, said. "After he sees my child’s face go across his TV so many times, he's going, he’s going to turn himself in."

Jazmine’s 6-year-old sister was injured by shattered glass in the shooting.

The defendant has moved to dismiss the indictment on the ground of collateral estoppel, which is encompassed within the double jeopardy protection of the Fifth Amendment. He asserts that the issues raised in each count of the indictment were adjudicated adversely to the Government by the jury's verdict in the earlier case, United States v. Robinson, Criminal No. M-74-0162. As another ground, the defendant moves to dismiss Counts One and Two of the indictment because the witness' answers were unresponsive and ambiguous. The Government has opposed the motion, arguing that the issues raised in each count of the indictment were not adjudicated and were not adjudicated adversely to the Government by the verdict in the earlier case. The Government also


Maceo Clerkley, a co-defendant with Robinson who had plead guilty. Clerkley testified that Robinson approached him about investing some money to purchase some appliances which would later be resold for a profit. Clerkley made Robinson the leader of this scheme to make a profit from stolen appliances.
Robinson took the stand in his own behalf and put the blame for the operation squarely on the shoulders of Clerkley. He denied ever following a tractor-trailer in Clerkley's car with Clerkley and Walter Barnett. He stated that Clerkley approached him about the deal, that he did not approach Clerkley. Further, he stated that he got out of the deal a few days after it had begun when he learned there was no bill of sale for the appliances. Clerkley, on thewere stored.
The Government called as its only rebuttal witnesses Clerkley and Mr. Kaminkow, Clerkley's attorney. Both testified that they had attended a meeting at Mr. Walker's office at which Barnett and Robinson were present. Mr. Kaminkow testified that it was Robinson who introduced him to Barnett, who was then being referred to as Mr. X.
In summation, the Government stressed this meeting at Mr. Walker's office and the evidence indicating that Robinson had lied about knowing Barnett. The Government argued that Robinson having lied about knowing Barnett must have concocted the whole story. Again during rebuttal the Government stressed the evidence indicating Robinson had lied about Barnett and referred to the Latin phrase, Falsus in Uno Falsus in Omnibus, mentioned by Mr. Walker during his closing argument.

An Indian-Singaporean woman whose Chinese husband penned a post about the racism they face as an inter-racial couple in Singapore, wrote a column about how she is always questioned about her citizenship.

Roshni Mahtani, founder of Tickled Media, which publishes the theAsianparent, wrote a post about her struggles in Singapore as someone who is often "denied" the privilege of being Singaporean.

According to her post, she said that given that she was celebrating Racial Harmony Day on July 21 for the first time as a mother, she wanted her "daughter to grow up knowing and feeling like she is Singaporean".

Ms Mahtani also added that she hoped her daughter "doesn't have to grow up the way (she) did, constantly having to battle to prove that she is part of thenation she loves".

Being a third-generation Singaporean, she said that was often met with disbelief because people have pre-conceived notions of what an Indian-Singaporean would look like.

Questions that Ms Mahtani often gets asked includes: "When did you give up your citizenship?", "When did you become a Singaporean?" and "Where were you born?"

She would be asked those questions despite being born in Thomson Medical Hospital and being part of the local education system, and having a brother who was a regular in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).

Ms Mahtani ended her post by asking people "to stop thinking of Singaporeans as having a specific look or name or skin colour".

"At the end of the day, we all hold pink IC and call this place home," she wrote.

Previously, Ms Mahtani's husband, Darius


ST. PETERSBURG — Speaking in front of a small crowd gathered on the front lawn of the city's main library, Mayor Rick Kriseman announced Monday that the facility will get a $6 million renovation and be renamed in honor of President Barack Obama.

The announcement coincided with Presidents' Day and Black History Month.

Kriseman said discussions began more than a year ago about how St. Petersburg could pay tribute to the nation's first African-American president, "a man who served honorably for two terms and has already been ranked by historians as one of our better presidents."

Input was sought from community leaders, among them Kai Warren of the Historic Roser Park neighborhood.

"It was universally supported by everybody," said Warren of the group he described as diverse and made up of morewith new programming areas. The facility last got a makeover in 2009, with $1 million worth of work.

Kirby said a new sign with the Obama name probably will not go up until renovations are complete. Meanwhile, the City Council must approve the change. The decision is unlikely to face much opposition, since the council is overwhelmingly Democrat.

""They all have been briefed and they all seem as enthusiastic as the mayor," Kriseman's policy chief Kevin King said. "We're not looking at this as a political issue, but it's due process."

In 2014, during Kriseman's first year in office, the Wildwood Recreation Center in the city's Midtown area was renamed after Thomas "Jet" Jackson, a longtime city employee known for mentoring young people and as a pioneer in organizing youth sports


Singaporeans: In 2007, only 17 Singaporeans were enrolled as full-time students in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in its universities, most of which are public institutions. By 2014, the number was 150 students.

A spokesman from the Royal Norwegian Embassy told The Sunday Times that Norway has a long tradition of free education, and the 2005 Universities and Colleges Act turned the principle into law.

A French Embassy spokesman said about 500 students leave Singapore to study in France every year, and half of these are exchange students. Not all are Singaporeans.

The spokesman said the low tuition fees in the country's public universities - about $275 per year for most degrees, except for engineering, which is about $900 - are the result of the government's focus on education.

However, there arecaveats.

Those looking to obtain a degree in these countries may have to master a foreign language, said students and education offices. While more postgraduate courses are taught in English, undergraduate programmes may be taught in the country's national language.

In Germany, out of 1,899 courses conducted in English - including postgraduate and short-term programmes - only 99 are undergraduate degree courses, such as the international business management programme at the Berlin School of Economics and Law.

Few programmes are taught in English at Austrian universities, said the Austrian Agency for International Cooperation in Education and Research.

"Not knowing German may be a hindrance when it comes to looking for internships and part-time jobs as you need to communicate with your colleagues," said Ms Ryanne Leong, a third-year mechanical engineering student at


the Hamburg University of Technology.

The 22-year-old took a gap year after graduating from Hwa Chong Institution to study German before enrolling in university in 2014, where only the first year of her course was taught in English.

Citizens in such countries pay high taxes to subsidise the cost of education, with tax revenue coming up to 45 per cent of GDP in France and 38 per cent of GDP in Norway in 2015. Some citizens have voiced unhappiness about how foreigners are riding on such benefits.

This can prompt sudden policy shifts, said National Institute of Education policy expert Associate Professor Jason Tan.

Wall Street plans to sell shares in pro athletes' careers...

From the upcoming Portfolio magazine:

On the proposed A.S.A.

district of California, defendant R. E. Claybourn, with intent to defraud the United States, did knowingly and wilfully smuggle and clandestinely introduce into the United States from a foreign country, namely Mexico, certain merchandise, to-wit; approximately one thousand Dexobarbital d-Amphetamine and Amobarbital tablets, which said merchandise should have been invoiced, and did fraudulently and knowingly import and bring into the United States from a foreign country, namely, Mexico, said merchandise contrary to law, in that said merchandise had not been presented for inspection, entered and declared as provided by United States Code, Title 19, Sections 1461, 1484 and 1485."
The facts show that Claybourn was a salesman for Hilly Medicinal Products, a company which sells drugs and vitamins, and had been working for them on a commission since 1953,calling on the *450 drug trade and some physicians. He also operated his own laboratory and sold products other than those of Hilly.
On November 4, 1959, he crossed the International border from California to Mexico, and at that time there was in the back of his car a bottle with 1,000 pills of the type alleged in the indictment, known to the trade as "Dexobarbital" and not a Hilly product. Upon his return to the United States he was subjected to the customary search and the bottle of pills was found in the trunk of his car and became the basis for the present charge.
The bottle of pills had rubber-stamped on it the name of "Perry Drug Co., Newark, New Jersey." Inquiry by defense counsel failed to establish


of Los Angeles, and arranged for several purchases for delivery to the trade. The day before the trip to Mexico, the defendant had delivered 20 bottles of "Dexobarbital" pills to a druggist in San Diego and had the one remaining bottle, the sample and the basis for this prosecution, in his car when he crossed the border. On his return to the United States, when interrogated by the Customs officers, he contended that the bottle of pills was a product of Hilly Company, apparently a design to cover up the transactions in the bootleg pills. He later testified they had been purchased from Kessler.
Kessler was called as a witness; gave his name and address; was represented by counsel and claimed the Fifth Amendment to all questions about thedescribed in the indictment.
Since the word "smuggle" and the phrase "clandestinely introduce" mean substantially the same thing viewed in the background of English common law, Keck v. United States, 1899, 172 U.S. 434, 19 S.Ct. 254, 43 L.Ed. 505 and since they refer to the acts of a defendant in surreptitiously and by concealment or fraud avoiding the customs and introducing goods into the United States, it is immediately apparent that where the facts show without dispute that a defendant took the same goods out of the country and thereafter brought them back into the country, that he was not smuggling or clandestinely introducing goods into the United States. The purpose of the statute is to prevent the surreptitious, clandestine or fraudulent entry of the goods into the


United States. If the goods were already in the United States, taking them out and bringing them in again would not be the act intended to be prohibited by the statute.
*452 Furthermore, it is difficult to imagine a case based on this set of facts, where there would be the required "intent to defraud the United States," namely to defraud the United States out of the compliance with its customs laws.
Under the facts of our case, it is therefore apparent that the defendant did not commit the crime of knowingly and wilfully smuggling and clandestinely introducing into the United States the merchandise in question.

Importing
The second charge contained in the indictment is, in substance, that the defendant did "fraudulently and knowingly import and bring into the United States fromgeneral manager of the Blue Jackets from 1998-2007 and head coach from 2003-04. Some would argue his decisions and lack of planning were the biggest deterrent in the franchise’s development to date.

Some “highlights” include: Ray Whitney scored 137 points in 148 games but the team and player couldn’t agree on a contract extension, so he walked. While never confirmed, it is rumored that the Blue Jackets scouting team chose to draft Anze Kopitar in the 2005 draft, but MacLean changed his mind late in the process and selected Gilbert Brule. And, MacLean admitted to hiring an investigator to follow Nikolai Zherdev.

When MacLean was fired, the Jackets were the only team to have not made the postseason. Perhaps the most positive legacy MacLean leaves is that he opened


goal in franchise history in a game that the Jackets would lose to the Chicago Blackhawks by a 5-3 final. Gardiner went on to score seven goals and add 15 assists in his only season for the Blue Jackets and finished his NHL career with 34 goals in 312 NHL games. The more you know.

(For the record, Martin Spanhel scored the first-first-ever Blue Jackets goal in an exhibition game.)

H. Hugs

Oh sure, teams have their fan salutes. One might argue they are so significant they are trackable [see: any game from hockeystats.ca], but only one team in the entire NHL has a post-win hug.

Just two days later, at the local children’s hospital, the young cheerleader was dead.

The ripples of grief were immeasurable. Knutsen became the subject of an aggressive Sports Illustrated cover story and lost his passion for playing the game, and the league has since implemented protective nets behind every goal in the NHL.

“Brick by Brick.” It’s a Blue Jackets mantra introduced by president of hockey operations John Davidson on Oct 24, 2012 when he joined the organization. It spoke to the approach JD had designed for


winning 33 games and (beat Bobby Ryan for) the Calder Memorial Trophy with a 2.29 GAA and 10 shutouts in his rookie campaign.

But every season after that was a struggle for Mason in Columbus. When he was unable to return to form, the fan backlash was palpable. Booed on the ice, ruthlessly heckled during a poorly timed decision to join Twitter (the original account was promptly deleted), Mason sank into what he called “dark places.”

On May 15, 2013, Mason was sent to Philadelphia in exchange for goaltender Michael Leighton and a 2015 third-round pick. Mason experienced a resurgence in Philadelphia and signed a three-year extension in January 2014.

He played his first game back on Blue Jackets’ ice Dec. 9, 2014 - a Jackets fan will point outColumbus, a city in which he still has a home after being traded to New York in 2012.

But about that.

After the failed Jeff Carter experiment, and with the Jackets sitting in the NHL standings basement, Nash asked for a trade “to better the franchise.” Thus began a six-month debate that raged on social media, in the corridors of Nationwide Arena and in new and mainstream media. By the time Nash was traded to the Rangers in exchange for Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Tim Erixon and a first-round pick (which would become Kerby Rychel), the trade ultimately did make the Jackets better, but it left much of the fan base wounded when it came to the former face of the franchise.

The Jackets would choose to go captainless for the


3, a standing room only crowd in Columbus watched Brandon Dubinsky score a tying goal with just 23.2 seconds left in regulation that would...you guessed it...force another overtime, allowing Nick Foligno to fire in the game winning goal from somewhere near the Indiana border securing the Jackets’ first-ever playoff win on home ice.

P. Prospal Pointing at Things

The Detroit Red Wings had been the bane of the Blue Jackets’ existence for many a season. The rivalry mirrored the longstanding local college football hatefest that is Ohio State-Michigan, and it was Detroit by which the Jackets continued to measure themselves, particularly after being swept by the Red Wings in the franchise’s first-ever playoff series in 2009.

Enter Vinny Prospal.

It was March 2013, the Jackets were in the process ofcementing their first season-series victory over the Red Wings, and Sergei Bobrovsky was rounding third on his first career shutout. After being pulled out of a scrum with Detroit’s Justin Abdelkader, Prospal emphatically pointed toward the scoreboard. Prospal was ejected, but the act became not only a wildly-popular internet meme, it became the definitive signal to fans of a new day and a new swagger in Columbus.

Q. Quality Ownership

It was 1996 and Columbus business mogul John H. McConnell promised Gary Bettman that an arena would be built in Columbus to house the NHL franchise McConnell and his fellow investors in “Columbus Hockey Limited” so desperately wanted.

McConnell shepherded the franchise to fruition, and established the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation in March 2000 focused on helping Columbus area children


24, 2000. Klesla was beloved by Jackets fans throughout his career. The big Czech defenseman played 515 games for the Blue Jackets, third only to Rick Nash and David Vyborny, and was the longest lasting member of the Jackets’ inaugural team. He ended every interview with rinkside reporter Jim Day by thanking him by his first and last name.

And when the defenseman was traded to Arizona Phoenix (along with Dane Byers for Scottie Upshall and Sami Lepisto), many fans cried. Real tears.

S. Shelley, Jody

Jody Shelley played for the Blue Jackets from 2000 until the 2007-08 season when he was traded to the San Jose Sharks, and has become one of the most revered Jackets of all time. Known for his hard-nosed style, Shelley averaged over 200 PIMper season and yet still holds the team record for most consecutive games with an even or plus rating (27).

After retiring from professional hockey in 2013 (while a member of the Philadelphia Flyers), Shelley returned to Columbus and joined the Blue Jackets as a team ambassador and contributor to home game telecasts. His natural ability coupled with “inside the room” hockey commentary has only further endeared him to Jackets faithful, and he became a full-time analyst for Blue Jackets’ telecasts alongside play-by-play announcer, Jeff Rimer. Shelley has been the driving force behind the Blue Jackets alumni group, which held its first event in November.

And honestly, if you have your own t-shirt, you’ve officially made it.

T. Two Thousand Nine

It was a great day on Apr. 8,


2009, when the Blue Jackets, led by then-coach Ken Hitchcock, secured their first playoff berth after beating the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in a shootout at the United Center.

The Columbus boys would draw one of their big rivals, the aforementioned Red Wings, in the opening round and were eliminated in four straight games. But many will still point to games in that series as some of the loudest, most exciting sporting events they’ve ever attended. The proverbial “breaking of the postseason seal” was cause for celebration and the promise of things to come, though they came to fruition five years later.

Today, only two players remain on the Jackets roster who have seen both playoff series: Jared Boll and Fedor Tyutin.

U. Unique Fan Groups

Many teams have their own official boosterclub, but few have capitalized on cementing the fan identity like the Blue Jackets. The team’s official fan group, the Jacket Backers, routinely organizes road trips to NHL arenas all over North America as well as community events on a year-round basis. In 2014, as the Jackets took on the challenge of an incredible late season playoff push, the fans created “The Fifth Line” that has since become a rallying cry for fans, a technical liability for sound crews, a website, and even a line of apparel.

discussion going and it quickly became an event called Cannonfest where hundreds of fans showed up year after year.

“I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the two officers as well as the entire Honolulu Police Department,” Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell tweeted. “This is an unprecedented tragedy for not only the City and County of Honolulu but the entire state of Hawai’i.”

The normally peaceful neighborhood where shots were fired is at the far end of the Waikiki Beach between the Honolulu Zoo and the famed Diamond Head State Monument, a volcanic crater that looms above Honolulu and is popular with tourists and hikers. A regional park is also nearby.

Ian Felix, a Honolulu resident and combat veteran with medical training, told the AP he happened to be walking by when he saw a woman lying on the ground withnew one.

Nearby resident Dolores Sandvold said she heard screaming and gunshots and saw Cain being carried to an ambulance. She said she was led out of the area and that she had yet to be allowed back into her home.

Kailua resident John Farmer said the fire spread to his sister’s nearby house, which burned down. He said the resident has been described as paranoid and threatening.

Officials across the state began releasing statements mourning the lost lives, with Gov. David Ige saying, “Our entire state mourns the loss of two Honolulu Police officers killed in the line of duty this morning.”

Police closed several streets nearby and asked the public to avoid the area.

The mosquito is the third species of the Aedes genus found in Los Angeles County in the past three years, said district spokesman Levy Sun.

In September 2011, officials found Asian tiger mosquitoes, which come from Southeast Asia, in South El Monte and El Monte. The mosquito population has since grown and spread into 10 neighboring communities, officials said.

Then this summer, authorities found Australian backyard mosquitoes in Montebello and Monterey Park.

The young father and daughter who drowned in each other’s arms last week in an attempt to swim across the Rio Grande to the United States have been returned to El Salvador for an expected burial at a private ceremony in the capital Monday.

Their bodies entered the Central American country by land Sunday from neighboring Guatemala.

Photographs of Valeria, lying face down in the water with her little arm wrapped around the neck of her father, Oscar Alberto Martínez, broke hearts around the world and underscored the dangers that migrants undertake in trying to reach the U.S.

The father and daughter were swept away by the current in the river between Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas.

Martínez, 25, and his wife, Tania Vanessa Ávalos, 21, had been livingwith his mother and apparently felt that their salaries working at a pizza parlor and as a restaurant cashier would never be enough to purchase a modest home in their suburb of San Salvador.

That dream to save money for a home led the family to set out for the United States, according to Martínez’s mother, Rosa Ramírez.

The neighborhood they left behind in El Salvador is a humble bedroom community where most people live in low-rise, two-bedroom homes with a combination kitchen-living room-dining room, worth about $10,000-$15,000 each.

Residents say violence and extortion has eased in the neighborhood, but that poverty and ambition still drive many to migrate.

In the Mexican border city of Tijuana, people included a picture of the drowned father and daughter in a memorial erected in the


memory of migrants who have died trekking north toward the U.S. The pictures, candles and crosses of the memorial were placed next to the U.S.-erected fence along the border.

A total of 283 migrant deaths were recorded along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border last year. The official death toll so far this year has yet to be released.

Migrant families have been coming over the border in unprecedented numbers in recent months, reaching a peak in May, when 84,000 adults and children traveling together were apprehended. Nearly 500,000 immigrants have been detained at the border since the start of 2019, resulting in dangerous overcrowding in U.S. holding centers.This, to my mind, will be the most significant of the three volumes on Jesus of Nazareth that the Pope has written, and I say this even prior to publication, simply because of the subject matter. The infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke are much different in style, structure and content from one another. There are commonalities in both Matthew and Luke, naturally, such as the names of Jesus' parents, an angelic annunciation, the presence of both Bethlehem and Nazareth in the narrative, and a virginal conception. But the differences also are major: Magi in Matthew, Shepherds in Luke; the journey to Bethlehem as a response to a census and only a manger found to stay in Luke; the slaughter of the innocents by Herod and the flight

The journeyman power forward, currently plying his trade in the Italian Alps, logged less than 100 minutes in green at the tail end of the 2012-13 season. However his impact or, more directly, the impact of his inclusion in a trade, is still being felt by the franchise today.

The Celtics front office, led by Assistant GM Mike Zarren in these matters, is among the best in the league at manipulating the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement. Full of arcane rules and loopholes, the CBA is fertile ground for a franchise looking to gain an edge over their competitors. For example, the trade rules that most fans have become somewhat familiar with through ESPN’s


to sign White to a pair of 10-day contracts. At the end of the second deal, D.J. was signed for the remainder of the season. As is almost always the case with these types of deals, a second non-guaranteed year, for the minimum contract, was added. This is done in part to give the team “upside” if the player performs well but also because it gives the team a small trade chip. It ended up not mattering but last year Chris Babb (Phil Pressey could have played the role) was signed for the same purpose.

An aircraft oxygen generator is commonly preprogrammed according to the descent profile of a given type of airplane, and must meet the minimum oxygen flow requirement at all times during a descent. When the oxygen generating reaction is initiated at one end of the core, the reaction front propagates along the longitudinal axis toward the other end of the core as oxygen is generated. Ideally, the reaction zone moves at a steady, repeatable rate governed by the amounts of fuel and catalyst incorporated at a given point along the length of the core. Once initiated, a reaction front moves from the ignition end to the outlet end of the generator, producing oxygen.

Step One - Win US Open Cup Game

The Portland Timbers beat a rather scrappy Kitsap Pumas PDL side 3 to nil tonight in Bremerton, WA. The Timbers have advanced to play the Sonoma County Sol next Tuesday, June 16th at the Sol's home stadium. The winner faces FC Puke Green in the next round on June 30th.

The match report is noted here, and it was a good effort by the Timbers, especially with the embarrassment of last year's upset loss still fresh in most fan's minds. The Timbers now head out to Carolina for a USL regular season match on Thursday ata knee problem that will keep him out for a few weeks. It could be a strained or torn MCL, but the report is 4 to 6 weeks off. Based on tonight's game, it appears David Hayes will take on Pore's role as designated PK person.

Tony McManus was injured in tonight's Open Cup match, and Tom Poltl made his first appearance of the 2009 campaign replacing McManus.

Not sure if there will be a broadcast of the Open Cup match next Tuesday, but 95.5 The Game has promised updates during their weekly Talk Timbers show, which runs Tuesday nights between 7 pm and 8 pm on the Game. Hosted by John Strong, a veteran color analyst and play by play guy who is also a TA emeritus member and


has his own radio show weeknights, it's a good snippet of Timbers action, commentary, and interviews. Tonight's chat with Alan Gordon of the Los Angeles Galaxy and formerly of the Timbers was a great listen.

The virus has since spread across the four countries, racking up 465 deaths and 9,529 cases.

Mrs Bland has called for the family to be tested in a bid to help authorities understand how the virus has swept across Britain.

Ischgl, dubbed ‘Ibiza of the Alps’, faces tough questions over how revellers there ended up spreading the virus across Europe.

Austrian officials have launched a probe into whether the popular resort in Tyrol province purposefully chose not to report cases because it would hurt the tourist industry around the time of a key local election.

Leader of the opposition Dominik Oberhofer said questions need to be asked about the relationship between hoteliers and politicians who were in charge of overseeing the coronavirus response.

The tiny town, with a permanent population ofjust 1,500, has almost double the number of coronavirus cases as Austria’s capital Vienna, population 2million and has been linked to outbreaks in five other countries

An investigation has been launched over whether an outbreak of the disease was covered up to protect trade around the time of local elections

The inquiry centres around reports a 36-year-old German barman at the popular Kitzloch pub who fell ill with COVID-19 in February.

The resort has been linked to hundreds of cases in Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark.

Despite concerns the virus was running rampant at the resort, the slopes and bars were allowed to stay open for weeks.

German media has branded Ischgl ‘the breeding ground’ of coronavirus, while Norway believes almost half of the country’s cases were imported from Ischgl.

The number


of infections in Ischgl – a small town of about 1,500 people – is double that of Vienna, the country’s capital, which has a population of 2million.

There have been at least 1,020 confirmed infections in the town, compared to 456 in the capital.

Europe has become the new epicentre of the pandemic, with more than 100,000 people confirmed to have been infected across the Continent. Italy makes up more than half of cases.

Reports say a German barman at the Kitzloch pub fell ill with coronavirus symptoms at the end of February, although it has not been officially confirmed.

Tourists from Scandinavia, Germany and other parts of Austria all started testing positive for the illness after returning from Ischgl in early March.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday it was restricting drone flights over 10 U.S. landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore at the request of national security and law enforcement agencies.

The FAA and U.S. Interior Department said they would restrict drone flights up to 400 feet within the boundaries of the sites including the U.S.S. Constitution in Boston, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Folsom Dam, Glen Canyon Dam, Grand Coulee Dam, Hoover Dam and Shasta Dam. The restrictions will be effective Oct. 5 and there only a few exceptions that permit drone flights within these restrictions.

Review: Amarcord In memory, Federico Fellini's 1973 work, an Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film, stands among his masterpieces. But seen today, Amarcord is something of a disappointment, clever and moving in places, but also sprawling, undisciplined, clumsy in patches, and decidedly overlong.

The patient and her sisters did not give consent for publishing of images. Her sisters were also recognized to have nail dysplasia from birth. Photographic images were examined and they suggested an identical phenotype. Both sisters were married with unrelated partners and had healthy children. The patient was not related to her partner. Analysis of the pedigree suggested autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Therefore, recurrence of the phenotype was considered low. She was counseled accordingly. She later gave birth to a healthy boy. Postpartum she was diagnosed with uveitis and treated for ocular tuberculosis without pulmonary involvement. Her treatment regimen included 9 months of anti-tuberculosis agents. Corticosteroids were also used for the first 2 months.Fig. 2Pedigree of a consanguineous Turkish family segregating autosomal recessive isolated nail dysplasia. Circles andCase Reports

1953. Thus far, the species has been found only in thermal springs along the Bruneau River and a tributary, Hot Creek, in Owyhee County in southwest Idaho. At *742 present it appears that the efforts on the part of the F & W Service and others to find the springsnail in other areas outside the identified habitat have been unsuccessful.
In early 1987, officials of the United States Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") searched potential habitat areas outside of the Hot Creek/Bruneau River area. BLM and F & W Service employees conducted tests at other hot springs in southwest Idaho, parts of northern Nevada, and southeastern Oregon. No populations of the springsnail were found in these other areas at that time. See 7 Administrative Record § III.F.28 (filed Julynotice proposing the listing, the F & W Service identified the "reduction of ... habitat by reduced spring flows caused by drawdown of the water table by ground water pumping for agricultural and other uses" as the primary threat to the continued existence of this minute species of snail. Id. The proposed rule provided for 60 days, from August 21, 1985, through October 21, 1985, for public comment on the proposed listing. The F & W Service also published a summary notice of the proposal in a newspaper serving the southwest region of Idaho. Thereafter, the F & W Service held a public hearing on the proposed listing in Boise, Idaho, on December 10, 1985.
In order to include the date of the public hearing, the F & W


W Service then set another period for public comment from December 30, 1986, through February 6, 1987.
By letter dated February 23, 1988, the United States Senators for Idaho wrote to the Director of the F & W Service, asking that he not proceed with the listing of the springsnail until the matter was studied further. The senators expressed their concern about the potentially significant impacts which listing the species could have on the agricultural communities in the area, and expressed their hope that the springsnail could be adequately protected without a formal listing under the Endangered Species Act.[6]
The F & W Service agreed to delay the decision, but reserved the right to take emergency action if necessary to protect the species.[7] Thereafter, Congress provided the F & WService with funds for additional studies *743 to be undertaken in an effort to develop a conservation plan for the species short of a formal listing under the Endangered Species Act.
One of the studies, conducted by Idaho State University and completed in May of 1992, found 126 new populations or colonies of the springsnail. Another study, conducted by the United States Geological Survey ("USGS") and completed in November of 1992 (hereinafter "USGS provisional report"), analyzed the hydrology of the geothermal system and surrounding hot springs in the Bruaneau River valley to determine the cause of declining spring flows affecting the springsnail. A third study, conducted by the Idaho Department of Water Resources ("IDWR") and completed in November of 1992,[8] was undertaken to provide a comprehensive data base from


1992. The F & W Service issued its final rule listing the springsnail as an endangered species on January 25, 1993. See 58 Fed.Reg. 5938 (Jan. 25, 1993).[12] At the time the final rule was issued, the springsnail was known to exist in a total of 128 locations. The final rule was issued seven and a half years after the F & W Service first proposed the listing on August 21, 1985, based on only two known springsnail colonies.
The stated basis for the decision to list the springsnail is that known populations are at risk due to declining water levels in the underlying aquifer. The USGS provisional report was cited extensively by the F & W Service in support of its determination that groundwater levels in the areaBy November of 1992, the new studies by Idaho State University and the IDWR, as well as the USGS provisional report, were all completed. In light of these new studies and the impending final decision to be made after years of inactivity by the F & W Service, the agency determined that a final comment period should be set. In a memo from the Acting Assistant Regional Director of the F & W Service, received in the Boise Field Office on October 13, 1992, it is clear that the agency knew its notice and comment duties. The Boise Field Office was instructed as follows: "A copy of the news release and Federal Register notice are attached for your information. You should send copies of both to interested parties,


failure to consider the effects of the continuing drought in the region on water flows; (4) serious questions existed regarding the assumption by the F & W Service that the water system in the area is a single aquifer which reacts as a homogenous permeable system; and (5) insufficient evidence on the range of the habitat of the springsnail and the true distribution of the species.
The court has reviewed the final rule published by the F & W Service in the Federal Register on January 25, 1993, including the section addressing the comments received from the public during the listing process. The F & W Service responses to the comments rely heavily on the USGS provisional report, which was not released to the public and which was laterfound to be seriously flawed in its recharge calculations. In addition, the final rule was drafted and sent before the last comment period had even opened. Based on these facts, and a careful review of the responses from the agency, the court is persuaded that the F & W Service failed to consider and respond adequately to the comments received from the public from December 18 through December 28, 1993. While the responses contained in the final rule arguably speak to these comments, the court finds that the responses were triggered largely by comments received earlier in the process, and/or represent self-serving and superficial responses from an agency that had already made up its mind.
Had the agency responded properly to the comments received, the final decision may have


Lts. Clyde and LeFord were never officially credited with this possible final kill of the war.

The war ended at 2400 that night, but there remained the possibility of night kamikaze attacks against American airfields. Therefore, the P-61s remained on alert.

The following evening, Captain Kendall took off at 1910 for a routine patrol. Less than an hour later the controller said he had a possible bogey coming toward the P-61 at an altitude of 4,500 feet. Contact was made quickly, and Kendall’s radar observer picked up window several times, which meant the intruder was using defensive tactics as he got closer to Ie Shima. As the Black Widow closed, the intruder made some hard turns in an effortbogey completely disappeared off the scope and no more window was detected. According to witnesses on the ground, the intruder crashed and the debris was scattered over a wide area. It had been a Nakajima Ki.44 “Tojo” fighter that probably was up to no good. Lady in the Dark had prevented him from carrying out his mission, assuming he had one. This was not listed as an official kill because the war had already ended. But the fact remains that a Black Widow had made the final two kills of World War II without firing its guns.

Founder of the Paralympic Games

On 4 July 2012, a reception was held at the Attlee Room in the House of Lords to celebrate the life of Sir Ludwig Guttmann, founder of the Paralympic Games, whose pioneering wartime work with victims of spinal injuries at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury, revolutionised the treatment of members of the forces whose wounds would previously have left them bedridden and condemned to an early death.

Guttmann’s methods were subsequently applied to paraplegics everywhere. Fittingly, the reception took place under the auspices of the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics (CARA), the successor organisation to the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL), which was responsible in the 1930s for finding posts for a large number of refugee academics and scientists, mostlyJewish, who had been dismissed from their positions by the Nazis.

Ludwig Guttmann was born in 1899 in the village of Tost (Toszek) in Upper Silesia; his family then moved to the larger town of Königshütte (Chorzow). He studied medicine at Freiburg University, where he was active in one of the Jewish student fraternities affiliated to the Kartell-Convent; these were bodies for patriotic German Jews, aiming to instil confidence in their members in the face of anti-Semitism by building up their strength through activities like sports. Guttmann graduated in 1924 and returned to Silesia, where, after a spell in Hamburg, he became a neurosurgeon at the Wenzel Hancke hospital in Breslau (Wroclaw) and a lecturer at Breslau University. In 1933 he was stripped of both positions, but went to


work at the Breslau Jewish Hospital, where he became medical director in 1937. Guttmann defended the interests of his Jewish patients courageously; even at the time of greatest danger, during the so-called ‘Kristallnacht’ in November 1938, he defied the Gestapo and SS men who descended on his hospital.

Realising that he could no longer safely remain in Germany, Guttmann emigrated to Britain. He arrived in March 1939 with his wife, Else, and their two children, Dieter (Dennis) and Eva, to take up a position that the SPSL had secured for him at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, on the invitation of Hugh Cairns, Nuffield Professor of Surgery. The Guttmanns were saved but impoverished; they lived in modest circumstances at 63 Lonsdale Road, Oxford (as documents from the SPSL archivesat the Bodleian Library, Oxford, helpfully supplied to me by Mrs Laura Broadhurst of CARA, show).

In the early stages of the war, the mortality rate for members of the forces with injuries to the spinal cord was around 80 per cent, with a life expectancy of some three months from injury; the few survivors spent the rest of their days as incurable, useless cripples in institutions. In December 1941, Guttmann presented a paper proposing radical new methods in the treatment and rehabilitation of those suffering from traumatic paraplegia, with the aim of re-integrating them into everyday life. As a result, he was appointed director of a new unit for spinal injuries patients that opened at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in February 1944.

Guttmann’s ground-breaking new approach involved both physiological and


psychological treatment, as one of the principal obstacles to be overcome was the ingrained belief that paraplegics were beyond help, a prejudice shared all too often by the victims themselves. Guttmann adopted the idea of using sport as a means of inspiring self-confidence in his patients, as well as building up their physical strength, so that they could again lead active and fulfilled lives. The results of his visionary innovations were remarkable, on a par with the wartime work of the famous plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe in treating RAF personnel suffering from burns and facial disfigurement at Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead.

Guttmann’s work continued after the war, leading to the transformation of countless thousands of lives that would otherwise have been consigned to the scrapheap. In 1952, hisunit became the National Spinal Injuries Centre. He was knighted in 1966, only the fourth refugee to be so honoured (after the scientists Francis Simon and Hans Krebs and the philosopher Karl Popper), and was a revered figure far beyond Britain by the time of his death in 1980. ‘Poppa’ Guttmann, as he was known, combined concern and compassion for his patients with unbounded energy, a pioneering mind and that devotion to the duties of his calling that was the hallmark of the best of German Jewry. He also had an eye for publicity, hitting on the idea of holding the initial Stoke Mandeville Games on 28 July 1948, the opening day of the London Olympics of that year.

From that event, at which 14 ex-servicemen and 2 ex-servicewomen
