That's where I began the fulfillment of my educational career. We also feel like we are benefiting the communities in this part of Kansas."
The Fischlis said they chose FHSU to be beneficiary of the trust because of their high regard for their careers as teachers. They credit much of their success to the education they received at FHSU.
In the 1940s, Richard attended FHSU but, because of the cost of college, alternated working and going to school when he could afford it. He also served a stint in the military and completed his bachelor'sdegree from FHSU in science in 1955 and his master's degree in education in 1957. During that time he and Dolores were married. Dolores earned her bachelor's degree in English in 1955 and a master's degree in theater arts in 1959, both from FHSU.
In 1960, they moved to California to advance their teaching careers and opportunities. He taught at Gaspar De Portola Junior High School for many years, and she taught at Westchester and El Camino Real High Schools. They retired from the Los Angeles Unified School System in the 1980s. After retirement, Richard was employed by California State University-Northridge, where he enjoyed his job of evaluating future teachers before they earned their teaching certificates.

The North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, the League of Women Voters of North Carolina, Common Cause of North Carolina and several individuals sued Gov. Pat McCrory and the State Board of Elections in August, alleging that regulations requiring voters to present photo identification at the polls, limiting early voting and ending same-day registration were designed to suppress voter turnout.
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a third lawsuit, alleging that North Carolina's law is racially motivated. State officials haven't yet responded to it.

Tune of the Day: Marche Funèbre d'une Marionette
by Charles Gounod
The television program Alfred Hitchcock Presents (and its sequel, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour) introduced viewers to Charles Gounod’s little “Funeral March for a Marionette”, although most were none the wiser that they were hearing honest-to-goodness classical music. Gounod composed it in 1872 for an unfinished Suite Burlesque, apparently with tongue in cheek: killed in a duel, a marionette is being taken to his final resting place, but members of the funeral procession apparently cannot resist stopping off at a nearby tavern to take the edge off their grief!up expectations about outings, especially restaurant ones. I glanced at other families around us. Nearby, two parents sat with a little girl and a baby. The girl was coloring, the baby played happily with toys, the parents laughed over their wine. For a moment, I ached to be that family.
The waitress came back. "I'm sorry, I can't hold your food anymore," she said. I said she could bring it out.
I stared out the window some more. I stared at that family some more. Finally, Dave walked in with a sobbing Max. "What happened?" I asked. "He didn't want to get off the bus," Dave answered. I left it at that and focused on Max.

It makes all the difference in the world whether one recognizes the central fact about the Fourth Amendment, namely, that it was a safeguard against recurrence of abuses so deeply felt by the Colonies as to be one of the potent causes of the Revolution . . .
The Fourth Amendment, of course, protects the right of the people to be secure in their “persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” Violations of those rights — e.g. general warrants, heavy-handed law enforcement tactics by the Crown’s agents — were the recurring “abuses so deeply felt by the Colonies as to be one of the potent causes of the Revolution.” | {

Today's most advanced media processing systems are mechanical, rather than computational, devices. They directly manipulate extents of temporal media in the same manner as the first film editing systems at the dawn of the century, and their users are still required to think that way. In order to understand how even the most advanced media editing systems operate, one can imagine a virtual robot arm manipulating media according to temporal entrance and exit points. A different model of the content being operated upon, and of the operations being performed, could result in different methods of media production and different kinds of media productions. Two historical analogies are illustrative in this connection. The first relates to the invention of manufactured interchangeable parts in the process of gun manufacture inthe later part of the 18th century. Before the invention of interchangeable parts, gun manufacture suffered from a lack of standardization and reusability of components. Every part was a unique result of handicraft, rather than a standardized manufactured component. The invention of manufactured interchangeable parts transformed gun production from a pre-industrial to an industrial mode of production. In the later part of the twentieth century, media production methods have yet to achieve the stage of industrialization reached by gun manufacture at the end of the eighteenth century. The current invention aims to alter that situation.
In order for media to be produced by means of the manufacture of interchangeable parts, purely mechanical modes of production are insufficient. Computational media production methods are required, in a manner analogous to the | {

and others pointed out: Many newly arrived and even first-generation Mexican-Americans have their bodies shipped back to Mexico for burial, making a traditional cemetery visit impossible.
When families do visit cemeteries, one of the first things they do after cleaning up is to place Day of the Dead flowers. Known in Spanish as cempasúchil and more widely known as marigolds, the scent of the flowers are thought to guide the departed back to earth and contact with their loved ones.
Marigolds in particular are used because they held an important meaning in the Aztec culture. They are thought to have magical, medicinal and spiritual attributes. Sometimes they are scattered, sometimes made into intricate arrangements.
Decorations often also start with candles bearing religious icons and skeletons. Candles are helpful since families oftenspend the night at their loved one's grave, an activity typically not allowed at a New Jersey cemetery.
Cecilia Humphrey, director of the Mexican Cultural Center in Philadelphia, said that while some other Latin American countries have a similar holiday on Nov. 2, none of the other countries celebrations are as elaborate as they are in Mexico.
She also said the tradition is not as strong in some of Mexico's states as others, with Day of the Dead celebrated most vigorously in the central and southern states where the Aztec influence was strongest. Details of the celebration vary by state and even city, too, she said.

instance, Levi Guerrero, 48, who grew up in Princeton, moved to New Jersey from the state of Oaxaca, far in the south of Mexico, when he was just 6. One of the rituals there, where headstones often are fashioned from concrete, is painting the markers bright colors, usually with symbols of significance to the dead person.
"I remember staying one or two nights in the cemetery with my family and my mom. It is remembering good times with loved ones who have passed away. The dead come to visit their families, to eat and drink with them, and then go back," he said.
"I don't ever remember anyone being sad," during the celebration, said Guerrero.
With all of his family buried back in Mexico, the tradition diminished and eventually died. Butafter years of yearning, he revived the tradition as best he could this past Saturday, throwing a party.
"I thought about doing it for years, but I got caught up in Halloween. I did a party so I could explain" the customs of the day to his friends, he said. He had about 40 guests; just seven were Mexican-Americans familiar with the holiday.
He had to drive to New Brunswick, where there is a large Mexican-American population, in order to get special Day of the Dead bread — a sweet soft bread with boney decorations — and the flowers.
He put up an altar in his home to honor dead relatives. He also served tamales, a food his relatives liked during their lifetime.

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (Reuters) - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Thursday that the hearing in the case of Russian curler Alexander Krushelnitsky had been canceled and that a decision would be made on the basis of written submissions.
CAS said the decision to drop the hearing had been made at the request of the International Olympic Committee, the World Curling Federation and the curler.
A decision on the case would be published later on Thursday.

The carpal tunnel is most narrow at the level of the hook of the hamate. The median nerve is the most superficial structure. It has specific relationships to surrounding structures within the carpal tunnel to the ulnar bursa, flexor tendons, and endoscopic devices placed inside the canal. The importance of the ring finger axis is stressed. Knowledge of topographical landmarks that mark the borders of the carpal tunnel, the hook of the hamate, superficial arch, and thenar branch of the median nerve ensure appropriate incision placement for endoscopic as well as open carpal tunnel release surgery.

'Biological weapons are very unlikely to be developed by the Islamic State as a mass casualty tool,' the report said.
'Western medical countermeasures and response capabilities were able to handle the 2001 anthrax attack and quickly contain Ebola in the United States in 2014. All this suggests the impact of a deliberate biological attack by the Islamic State in the West would be extremely limited.'
Since then, ISIS has lost significant ground in Syria, but they retain a presence in the east of the country and in the vast Badiya desert that sweeps through its south.
The Syrian government has been fighting inmujahedeen," he said.
His words come after ISIS published a long interview in its English-language propaganda magazine, Dabiq, in which a Muslim scholar argued that jihadi forces should back the self-declared caliphate of leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over the "regional" leader Mullah Omar.

What brought Hassan to the low country? Well, Belgian authorities constructed a sting operation in which they created a fake documentary about international piracy. They then had one informant talk to another, who talked to a dude who he knew, who mentioned to Hassan that this film wanted to bring him in as a consultant on the project.
Hassan flew into Brussels, where he was immediately arrested.

Live Embryo Detection ™
Improved hygiene and biosecurity
The Live Embryo Detection™ uses heartbeat technology to accurately indicate which eggs contain a living embryo and classifies the non-viable eggs as infertile, early or late dead embryos. Exactly knowing the content of each egg, enables selective processing during in-ovo vaccination, egg transfer and waste discharge.
First only eggs with living embryos are vaccinated and transferred to the hatcher baskets. The non-viable eggs remain untouched in the setter tray for further processing in a separate waste room. Creating a more hygienic and safer environment for the chicks to hatch.

A Big Issue North seller says he has been "really moved" by postcards his customers have sent him from their holidays abroad.
The postcards were delivered directly to his town centre pitch in Harrogate by a postal worker.
Simon, 41, said it had "meant so much" to him that people in the town had been so supportive of him.
He began selling the magazine after becoming homeless when he split with his girlfriend.
The postcards, some from Australia and New Zealand, were delivered to his pitch by postie Peter Nichols, despite being addressed simply to: "Simon, Big Issue seller, Oxford | {

Simon said: "It literally means that people are thinking about me on the other side of the world.
"It moved me, it really moved me."

Royal Mail said Mr Nichols was a "bastion of the local community" and his deliveries to Simon were an example of his "continual service above and beyond the call of duty".
Simon, who was originally from Wakefield, moved to Harrogate more than a decade ago with his then girlfriend.
But when they split he was left homeless and jobless.
"I tried to get other forms of employment after working as a roofer, but I was relatively new to Harrogate when I moved over all those years ago," he said.

Throughout human history, there have been many world events that have seen a multitude of deaths and widespread destruction. The ten entries on this list are ranked according to the number of deaths. While some of the events spanned just a few years, others occurred over centuries.
Since these death toll estimates are always highly disputed, I have made it a rule to use the highest respectable estimate in every case. I have also chosen to focus this list on ‘man-made’ events – natural disasters have not been included.

Atlantic Slave Trade
Death Toll Estimate: 15 Million
The Atlantic (or Trans-Atlantic) slave trade began roughly in the 16th century, reaching its peak in the 17th century until finally being all but abolished in the 19th Century. | {

The main driving force behind this trade was the need for European empires to establish themselves in the New World. European and American settlers therefore began to use mainly West African slaves to fill the vast labor needs on plantations. Estimates vary on the amount of slaves who died, but it is said that for every ten slaves taken on a ship, four would perish from causes related to mistreatment.

Late Yuan Warfare & Transition to Ming Dynasty
Death Toll Estimate: 30 Million
The Yuan dynasty was founded by Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, around 1260. Yuan literally translates as ‘Great is the Heavenly and Primal’, though there proved to be nothing either great or heavenly about it.
The dynasty turned out to be one of the shortest-lived in thehistory of China, covering just a century until it fell in 1368. Chaos reigned during the twilight years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the lands were marked by warring tribes, outlaws, political struggle, famine, and bitterness among the populace. After all this carnage, the Ming Dynasty took control. Their reign is described by some as “one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history.”

An Lushan Rebellion
Death Toll Estimate: 36 Million
Around 500 years before Yuan, the Tang Dynasty was in control of China. An Lushan – a general in the north of China – sought to take control, and declared himself emperor (creating the Yan Dynasty). The An Lushan rebellion lasted from 755 until 763, when the Yan Dynasty was finally defeated by the | {

Tang empire. Medieval warfare was always a bloody affair – and this rebellion was no exception. Millions died and the Tang Dynasty never fully recovered.

Taiping Rebellion
Death Toll Estimate: 40 Million
Jump forward a thousand years and the Chinese are at it again – this time with some help from the French, the British, and some American mercenaries. In 1850, the Qing Dynasty is now in charge of China. They had suffered some major problems before the rebellion, with natural and economic disasters causing havoc – not to mention the Europeans bringing opium addiction to China. So up stepped Hong Xiuquan, who amongst other things claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. Hong established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom – and the carnage began. The Taiping Rebellion happened atlargest in the world – but at quite a price.
5
Soviet Crimes
Death Toll Estimate: 49 Million
Here is another example of a disaster caused by a country with a vast population trying to change its economic and social landscape in a very short period. Under the Soviet Union, from 1917 to 1953, millions of Russians died at the hands of revolution, civil war, famine, forced resettlement and other crimes. One man can take most of the blame: Joseph Stalin.
His desire to build a new and better country at any cost – and to keep hold of the power he had gained – was a direct cause of the majority of casualties under Soviet rule. It is hard to fathom how, in 1948, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Conquests
Death Toll Estimate: 60 Million
If there is one man who could be said to have more blood on his hands than anyone else in history, it is Genghis Khan. Under the leadership of Khan (and successors after his death), the Mongol empire grew into the largest land empire the world has ever seen – at its peak covering 16% of the Earth. The Mongol army swept across Asia, killing its rivals with great ferocity for the best part of two centuries. The death toll would certainly have been much higher if the Mongols had continued to progress west and into Europe.
Aside from all the killing, it wasn’t all bad under Mongol rule – with religious tolerance given to most faiths, as well as tax breaks for the poor.

WorldWar 1
Death Toll Estimate: 65 Million
Although other wars had come close quite a few times, this was the first truly global war. The causes of the ‘great war’ are varied and rather complicated, but suffice it to say that in 1914 when the various European empires began to get too big for each other, they decided to form two vast alliances and fight it out for dominance.
Europe became divided, and dragged the rest of the world into its rapidly widening sinkhole. Outdated warfare tactics were deadly to the soldiers involved: these young men would often be ordered to walk very slowly towards the opponent’s machine-gun fire. When the war finished in 1918, Europe and the world began to count the cost of so many lost lives. Most agreed | {

decade old and released early in the 7th generation of consoles.
The UI facing the player is no less impressive. Loading screens are populated with memorable quotes from the various characters you will meet while on your journey and even work to reinforce your knowledge, or lack thereof, of the city and its history. Overlays are designed with the same care put into the surroundings, and menu screens all look as though they are molded out of the city themselves. It’s rare to for a game to immerse you as fully as Bioshock. While this aspect of development in AAA titles has advanced in the current generation, it was exceptional at the time.
The Residents of Rapture
Almost as impressive as the environments are the residents themselves. With the downfall ofthe uninitiated or in the case of simply forgetting as Bioshock is over a decade old, Adam was the creation of Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum. She discovered that the sea slugs surrounding Rapture contained a matter that could re-create cells and manipulate genes. With the assistance of Frank Fontaine, Adam was created and Tenenbaum became the most celebrated scientist in Rapture. Taking it one step further, Tenenbaum then discovered that should the slugs be placed into a host, she could extract substantially more Adam. However, the only suitable hosts were young girls and thus, in her untethered aspirations for fame and recognition, the little sisters were born. Their protectors however, big daddies, were the creation of a doctor named Yi Suchong.

leader in-game of the year discussions in 2007 despite historically strong competition. And it has been celebrated ever since by critics and players alike. However, the inherent themes presented to the player, their covert meaning, and the references to real-life philosophers and authors are likely lost on many. And so, as excellent as Bioshock is to play and to experience, it is equally remarkable in the way it calls upon these themes without negatively impacting the core gameplay. It reinvigorated the FPS genre with brilliant storytelling and deep seeded themes that can be explored at the players will. As a testament to gaming as an art form, Bioshock stands tall.
As I reflect on Bioshock and thus the completion of this entry of Revisiting the Classics, I feel asIl Tempo journalist Filippo Biafora has reported that Roma have relaunched their attempts to make Chris Smalling’s loan move at Roma a permanent one.
The Giallorossi directors have been moving for weeks to extend Smalling’s stay in Rome once his loan move expires in June. The defender, who turned 30 last month, has communicated to Manchester United his intention to continue his experience at Roma and is pressing for the latest offer presented by the Giallorossi to be accepted.
Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi recently tabled a bid of €15 million — which is very close to the €20 million requested by the English club. The Giallorossi already paid €3 million in the summer for a one-year loan and want to ensure they don’t overpay given Smalling‘s age.
Roma are confident | {

a deal will be finalised despite several clubs having approached Smalling’s agents — including Inter and Milan — and expressed their interest after the defender’s superb performances this season.
Smalling is very keen on remaining in the Italian capital and has also received the blessing to stay from his wife, who has fallen in love with the Eternal City.
Petrachi already has a long-term contract ready and waiting for Smalling, who lowered his wages just to join the club in August. Roma will certainly not be able to pay him the same salary as he had in the Premier League, but Smalling will continue to make an effort to ensure his story with the Giallorossi doesn’t end.

PESHAWAR: Over 500 schools, which were not functioning in the province, have now become functional after a lapse of four years.
According to documents from the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education Department, 539 primary schools, which had not been working across the province, have been reopened since 2013.
Apart from funds provided by the provincial government, international partners also facilitated the construction of schools in the province, helping set up 115 non-ADP schools in the province.
The government has further sanctioned 1,748 schools where thousands of students are expected to study.
Ziaur Rehman, the K-P Elementary and Secondary Education Media Advisor, told The Express Tribune that the department worked with the respective district administration to reopen a number | {

]
} | 46,976,148 |
of schools in different parts of the province which had been closed for years.
The advisor said that most of these schools had been constructed by the previous government on political basis and were used by the wealthy or land owners for their personal gain.
Apart from these schools, he said that the K-P government was working on a set of reforms in the education sector including infrastructure development, improving teaching quality in schools through a series of initiatives such as provision of missing facilities, stipend and vouchers for students, improvement in governance through IMU and automated action management and trainings of over 83,000 teachers through international education partners such as the British Council and Jolly Phonics.
In addition, he said that over the past three years, the education department hadAll plaintiffs were similarly employed for the 1971-1972 school year under individual contracts executed by the parties containing a specific provision that each teacher agreed to perform teaching duties on holidays designated as school days by the board. During the 1970-1971 and 1971-1972 school years, Columbus Day had been designated a school day and classes had been held. A copy of the school calendar for 1972-1973 designating Columbus Day, October 9, 1972, as a school day was provided each teacher prior to April 1, 1972.
In March 1972, negotiations for teachers' contracts for the 1972-1973 school year were begun for the first time under the Public Employment Labor Relations Act (PELRA), Ex.Sess., L.1971, c. 33, Minn.St. 179.61 to 179.76. Negotiations were halted in May 1972 by the necessity of | {

]
} | 46,976,151 |
determining which of two teacher's groups, the Cass Lake Federation of Teachers or the Cass Lake Education Association, should be the exclusive representative for the teachers. All plaintiffs are members of the Federation of Teachers. On October 31, 1972, a certification election was held pursuant to § 179.67, and the Education Association was certified as the exclusive representative for the teachers.
The events giving rise to this litigation occurred in large part during the weeks immediately preceding the certification election scheduled for October 31. On October *810 4, 1972, by letter signed "Cass Lake Federation of Teachers, 2180, AFT," plaintiffs notified the superintendent of schools that they would not teach on October 9 except as substitutes for additional pay. The letter stated as justification plaintiffs' belief that they hadno contractual obligation to teach on that day. Also on October 4, the high school principal circulated a notice that school would be held on October 9. Before the holiday, the school superintendent sent a letter to plaintiff David Skeim, who was president of the Cass Lake Federation of Teachers, stating the board's legal position that the teachers were contractually required to teach on Columbus Day and strongly urging that plaintiffs review their decision not to teach. Plaintiffs did not teach on October 9, 1972. On October 18, 1972, the school superintendent notified the school board at its regular meeting that, presumably with its approval, one day's salary would be deducted from plaintiffs' wages for their October 9 absence. At the same meeting, the board adopted a motion | {
"pile_set_name": [
"FreeLaw",
"FreeLaw"
]
} | 46,976,240 |
providing that tenured teachers who were absent October 9 would not be offered new contracts and teachers without tenure would not be rehired.
On January 17, the school board adopted a resolution to terminate the probationary teacher's contract of plaintiff Fedeler. Upon her request for a reason for the termination, the board stated that it was her Columbus Day absence.
On February 16, 1973, negotiations between the school board and the Education Association resulted in a master teachers' contract for the 1972-1973 and 1973-1974 school years. The master contract contained a grievance procedure, as required by § 179.70, and also contained the following provision concerning salary increases:
"ARTICLE VI
"BASIC SCHEDULES AND RATES OF PAY
"Section 1. 1972-1973 Salary Schedule: The wages and salaries reflected in Schedule A, attached hereto, shall be apart of the Agreement for the 1972-1973 school year.
"Section 2. 1973-1974 Salary Schedule: The wages and salaries reflected in Schedule B, attached hereto, shall be a part of the Agreement for the 1973-1974 school year.
"Section 3. Status of Salary Schedule: The salary schedules are not to be construed as a part of a teacher's continuing contract and the school board, with proper cause and due notice, reserves the right to withhold increment advancement, lane changes, or any other salary increase to individual teachers as the school board shall determine." (Italics supplied in part.)
Also on February 16, 1973, the school board passed a motion to issue contracts for the 1972-1973 school year to all teachers recommended for reemployment with the provision that the contract salary of plaintiff teachers be | {
"pile_set_name": [
"FreeLaw",
"FreeLaw"
]
} | 46,976,242 |
the same as that of the 1971-1972 school year. The stated reason for denying scheduled salary increases to plaintiffs was their absence from school on Columbus Day 1972. On March 15, 1973, the board passed a similar motion to issue contracts for 1973-1974, again stating that because of their 1-day absence from class the salaries of plaintiffs would remain at the 1971-1972 level. In March 1973, plaintiffs Charles Wilson and William Dunham resigned effective at the end of the 1972-1973 school year. On March 8, 1973, the board terminated the contract of plaintiff Larson. None of the plaintiffs signed and returned the offered contracts for 1972-1973 and 1973-1974.
Before the master contract was completely negotiated, plaintiffs, on February 13, 1973, instituted this action seeking vindication of their refusal toto teach by virtue of the provision to that effect inserted in each teacher's contract for the previous 1971-1972 school year and the continuing contract provision of § 125.12, subd. 4. Each of the individual contracts for the 1971-1972 school year included the following pertinent language:
"3. Calendar: School year and vacation days shall be those named on the school calendar as adopted by the school board, and the teacher agrees to teach on those legal holidays on which the school board is authorized to conduct school if the school board so determines."
Section 125.12, subd. 4, provides that following a probationary period a teacher has a continuing contract with the school district which shall remain in full force except as modified by mutual consent or until terminated according to | {

held on Columbus Day 1972.
Finally, plaintiffs argue that the action of the board taken at its March 15 meeting of refusing to grant scheduled salary increases for a second year, 1973-1974, constitutes an unreasonable and excessive penalty. With this we agree. The unreasonableness lies not so much in the severity of the penalty, as plaintiffs primarily argue, as in the piecemeal manner in which it was *814 meted out. The contractual violation occurred October 9, 1972. On October 18, the school board was informed by the superintendent that one day's salary would be deducted from plaintiffs' salaries, and the board threatened by motion that tenured teachers would not be rehired. Had this action been carried out, the board would have been required to notify the teacher, stating the59 Labor Arb.Rep. 414 (1972), an industrial accident occurred due to the violation of safety rules by two employees. Discipline was administered in the form of reprimands to the employees which became a part of their records. Three weeks later, the employees received notice of a 1-week disciplinary layoff. The arbitrator said (59 Labor Arb.Rep. 416):
"The only question in this case is whether a second and more severe disciplinary penalty should have been imposed, approximately three weeks subsequent to the first discipline, upon each grievant.
"On this issue, the arbitrator concludes that there was not proper cause to impose additional and more severe penalties. This conclusion is warranted solely on the basis of the principle of prohibition of double jeopardy. This principle is so well known and so well | {

history of the NCAI in order to better assist researchers and answer reference
questions. For this reason, I picked up Thomas Cowger’s book The National Congress of American Indians : The Founding Years and enthusiastically dove in. I was particularly
curious about the role of Helen Peterson (Oglala Lakota), whose papers NMAI also has available
for research.
During
Peterson’s tenure as Executive Director of NCAI, from 1953 to 1961, one of her tasks
was to work with the Indian Organization Committee for the 1961 Presidential
Inaugural Parade. The election of John
F. Kennedy was seen as a step in a new and hopeful direction for U.S. Indian policy.
Accordingly, NCAI thought it only fitting to name its float in the
parade “First New Frontier.” Helen
Peterson and the NCAI also helped enter four
additional parade floats from different | {

Indian communities and arranged for the participation of
more than 200 representatives from 22 different tribes.
On the morning of January 20th,
1961, despite a storm the previous night that covered the city in snow, all
of the parade participants lined up along the icy streets of Washington to
celebrate the inauguration. Hailing from 13 different states,
the “Indian Unit” stood out impressively with its five floats, six jeeps, and 64-piece Arizona Navajo Intertribal Band, whose membership had grown to include
Zuni, Hopi, Pima, Hualapai, Mojave, and Maricopa musicians. (Interesting side
note: The Arizona Navajo Intertribal Band is now called the Navajo Nation Band, and they will be participating in the 2013 Inaugural Parade. You can see a full list of this year’s parade
participants here.)
Determined to keep everyone
organized and on schedule, Peterson had laid out infull detail who would be on
which float and the order in which they would process down Pennsylvania Avenue. Below are the final float descriptions submitted
to the Inaugural Parade Committee. (All descriptions are from the Helen
Peterson papers [NMAI.AC.016], box 11, NCAI Subject File, Inaugural, 1961.)

(sponsored by the National Congress of American Indians) symbolizes the
friendliness and generosity with which the Indians met the first new settlers
and is intended to convey the richness of the continent that was the first new

food products developed by the Indians that were unknown to the Old World.
Contrary to popular belief, the Indians first met the white settlers with

Charbonneaux, a trader,led the Lewis and Clark expedition through the
Northwest to open up that vast area. With a baby on her back, Sacajawea was a
symbol of peace and cooperation. The small tepee is a symbol of the tepees used
by the Plains Indians. The mural on the float was done by a Creek Indian artist
in Washington who is employed by the U.S. Department of State. There are many
dogs in Indian camps and the dog on this float was loaned by Metropolitan
policemen. After the dog was selected from some thirty offers to the Montana
committee, it turned out the dog’s name is NIXON.”

Though many
participants were undoubtedly cold and damp by the end of the parade, spirits must
have been high: NCAI won runner-up for most creative float.

Blade of The Underdark
A corrupted blade and a pissed off cult what could possibly go wrong?
Vladimir, a young performer, arrives in the small town of Merrindale, looking for work. Perfectly capable of wielding the sword he uses in his sword-swallowing act in battle (as well as the many other deadly objects hidden on his person), Vladimir takes on a job from a mysterious man named Marcus, guarding the room of his mysterious client overnight. Seeming trustworthy enough, Vladimir takes the job from Marcus.
Following an uneventful day about town, Vladimir heads to the Three Lemons Inn, and is directed by Marcus to the second floor. Marcus tells Vladimir that he is to let no one through the door, and he is not to disturb his quarry unless it isdeemed an emergency. Following this explanation, Marcus promptly leaves the hallway.
A few hours later, a very plain inn-girl (almost suspiciously plain…) entered the hallway, bearing a tray with two meals on it. She approaches Vladimir, explaining that one is for him, and the other for the man in the room. After sampling the honeybread, the lemon chicken, and the glass of water (flavoured with lemon), Vladimir decides the meal is safe enough. He knocks on the door to the room, and a gruff voices calls out. Vladimir explains that the meal is here and passes a plate through. The inn-girl smiles and leaves.

it in unbearable. Seeing no alternative (as he cannot leave his post), Vladimir decides to drink from the vase at the end of the hall; he finds that it too is flavoured by lemons. He returns to his post, his thirst quenched.
Several hours later, Vladimir hears a muffled cry from inside the room, a man's. Vladimir knocks, calling out through the door. Getting no response, he hears only a hard thump. Now worried, Vladimir barges through the door to find the man lying on the floor, bleeding, and the window open. Vladimir quickly checks his quarry for life-signs, and finds him to still be alive. He runs out into the hall, crying out for help. Both the innkeeper and the inn-girl come running, both looking quite flustered. Vladimirback downstairs while Vladimir remained in the room, keeping watch until morning.
Shortly after dawn, Marcus returned to the inn. Seeing the state of the room, he was nearly speachless, but also quite frustrated with Vladimir. After a few minutes of nervous explanation, Marcus gave Vladimir a chance to redeem himself, and regain his reward by finding the assassin. Following this, Marcus told Vladimir that he was returning to the small camp he had set up just outside town.
Before letting Marcus go, Vladimir asked for just a few details about the man. Marcus explained that he hailed from a town called Peladius, famous for its devotion to Pelor. The man was a priest in one of its churches.
Seeing the inn-girl as the only possible suspect, Vladimir headed downstairs. The | {

inn-girl was standing behind the counter of the bar, serving a Tiefling man breakfast. Vladimir sat down a few seats away. The inn-girl approached him with a bowl of porridge and a glass of water. Before he began to eat, Vladimir realized something, the assassin might have a grudge against the Church of Pelor! Vladimir immediately bowed his head, and said a quiet, but audible prayer, thanking Pelor for the meal. When this got no reaction from her, Vladimir decided to just eat his breakfast (which, of course, had a hint of lemon). As he began to leave to investigate the town, Vladimir felt an explosion of pain on the back of his head, and a dull clang. He had been knocked out by a frying pan!
Some timelater, Vladimir awoke in a dark room, his head throbbing and his vision blurry. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw he was in one of the inn's rooms, sitting in a chair and strapped to the posts of the four-poster bed. Only his right arm was unbound, but Vladimir was only able to move his arm past the elbow, just enough to reach the glass of water (flavoured with lemon) on the table beside him.
Now afraid for his life, Vladimir was desparate to escape. He remembered that he had hid a shuriken up his sleeve, for just such an emergency. Flicking his wrist, the shuriken slid from his sleeve into his palm. Now with means to escape, Vladimir began madly hacking at what rope he | {

could reach. After a few minutes of cutting, Vladimir heard the doorknob turn and hid the shuriken in his palm. Standing in the open doorway was, of course, the inn-girl, though she now had a beserk grin on her face and a large butcher's knife in her hand.
She approached Vladimir, still grinning, and began to check his bindings. Just as soon as she bent over him, Vladimir took the opportunity; he slashed at her throat with the shuriken. However, as soon as his blade would have connected with her neck, she was gone. From behind him came a scolding voice: "Tch, tch, we can't have you escaping just yet, dear". She quickly disarmed Vladimir of his shuriken and proceeded to bind the rest of his body. With aCBS Ups Margot Wain To VP Daytime

Subject to and without waiving its objections, Defendant responds that it relied in part upon the opinion of Duhn Oil's designated technical expert George Boyadjieff, who asserted in his expert report dated August 10, 2007 that the asserted claims of the '925 patent required a 'dual load path," which he described as "two independent load paths" used "to absorb the axial force," and the opinion of Duhn Oil's designated technical expert, corporate representative, and named inventor on the asserted '925 patent, Rex Duhn, who testified at pages 39-40 of his September 19, 2007 deposition that "[y]ou would have to contact shoulder for the [lockscrew] to engage . . .

I was moving across the valley toward the Existence carefully. My goal was to get a read on what was happened or was happening to cause this particular branch of the timeline to come into play. The sun was setting as I started getting close to the club. I started to move more swiftly as there was less rubble in the industrial areas of the city. About a half mile from the club my night got a lot worse as I sensed several supernatural being tracking me. I had made it about three more blocksback towards the mountains at the edge of the valley behind it. That is where I found the tombstones on a patch of bare earth. I didn’t want to look at the names engraved upon them even though I needed to know who was there. There were four markers side by side along the mountains edge.

And according to a Politico Magazine story from November, Obama told another candidate that Biden didn't have an intimate bond with the electorate like he did in 2008.
“He may have said that. And if it’s true, and he said it, there’s truth to it," Biden reportedly said when asked about the comment.
Biden, who has led President Trump in several polls on 2020 matchups, said he couldn't forgive himself if he passed up the opportunity to beat Trump. He initially thought he could beat Trump in 2016, but Obama reportedly pushed back because, in part, he reportedly thought former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be more effective in continuing his legacy.

Stony Brook University Student Engagement & Activities confirmed that nearly all on-campus events through the end of March have been canceled in a March 11 email to student e-board members.
The announcement comes only a few hours after Interim President, Michael Bernstein, officially announced that Stony Brook University classes would be moving online for the rest of the semester after spring break.
Most club executive board and general body meetings are allowed to continue through the end of this week, but after Thursday, all other events will be canceled, postponed or held virtually.
“All other in-person student organization events – including programs, performances, practices, trainings, new member education/intake events, tabling, lectures, off-campus trips, and competitions/tournaments – through at least March 31, 2020, will be canceled, postponed or must be conducted ina virtual way that does not bring large groups of guests and members of the SBU community in a single venue,” the email read.
The Statesman was able to also confirm that intramural sports through the end of March have been canceled, although their status past April is still uncertain.
With Stony Brook University’s spring break scheduled for March 16 to March 20, this appears to be the final week in which clubs and organizations can operate regularly.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on March 11 that State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) schools will be switching to remote classes. At Stony Brook University, most buildings, including dorms and dining halls, will remain open even as classes are held online.

The government's first argument fails because it does not take into account the procedural posture of the appellees' attempt to exempt attorneys' fees. The appellees raised the sixth amendment question in pretrial motions to exempt from the restraining orders assets that would be transferred to their attorneys. At that time, the government's title to the property identified in the indictment and in the restraining orders had not been established. The district court deferred its decision and did not rule on the motions until after trial. The court's decision correctly treated the issue in the context of a pretrial challenge to a restraining order. 654 F.Supp. at 1545. 10 S.Ct. 244, 247, 33 L.Ed. 555 (1890), the Court said:
73
By the settled doctrine of this court, whenever a statute enacts that upon the commission of a certain act specific property used in or connected with that act shall be forfeited, the forfeiture takes effect immediately upon the commission of the act; the right to the property then vests in the United States, although their title is not perfected until judicial condemnation; the forfeiture constitutes a statutory transfer of the right to the United States at the time the offense is committed; and the condemnation, when obtained, relates back to that time, and avoids all intermediate sales and alienations, even to purchasers in good faith.

In 1066 William the Conqueror regarded himself as the personal owner of all of the land in England; this was the basic concept of the feudal system. He thereafter granted vast tracts to his tenants-in-chief, not as owners but literally as tenants who had a continuing relationship with their lord, the King. The tenants had to render continuing services to satisfy the terms of their tenancy, not the least of which were to provide the armies to support the throne. See A. Casner & W.

Climate change sceptics are likely to be given greater prominence in BBC documentaries and news bulletins following new editorial guidelines that call for impartiality in the corporation’s science coverage.
The BBC has been repeatedly accused of bias in its reporting of climate change issues.
Last year one of its reporters, Paul Hudson, was criticised for not reporting on some of the highly controversial “Climategate” leaked emails from the University of East Anglia, even though he had been in possession of them for some time.

Any number of solar scientists and others are warning that the Earth is on the brink of a new Ice Age at worst, a mini ice age at best. Dr. Achim Brauer of the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam has concluded that the next Ice Age will come on so swiftly that in barely a year much of the northern hemisphere will be incased in ice and snow.

Distortion of reality about global temperatures continues with warming claims while Western North America, most of Eurasia and large areas of the southern hemisphere report below normal temperatures. It’s been the coldest summer on record north of 80°N latitude and rate of sea ice melt continues to decrease.

Fifty years ago there was a cooling trend as global temperatures declined from 1940 to 1980. It troubled promoters of human CO2 as the cause of global warming. During the cooling period, CO2 from human activity increasedsay 409 people, most of them children, have already died from the cold, with temperatures predicted to fall further in coming weeks.

The ocean is Earth's largest single sink for CO2 outside of the planet's crust itself. Simple sea creatures depend on carbon dissolved in the ocean's water for their existence, and their actions create a biological carbon “pump” that removes vast quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. Large amounts are suspended in the water column as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and each year the ocean's biological pump | {

emails and other documents confirming that the key IPCC scientists involved had been manipulating data to show temperatures having lately shot up to levels unknown in the past 1,000 years.
A familiar example was the IPCC's "hockey stick" graph, created by the American scientist Michael Mann, but shown by the statistics expert Steve McIntyre to be no more than a statistical artefact. Last week, a second inquiry by his own university cleared Dr Mann, again making no attempt to discuss the central issue. Instead, it merely asserted – while acclaiming him as "among the most respected scientists in his field" – that the techniques used to compile his graph were wholly acceptable. Similarly, McIntyre was startled last week to get a dismissive email from Lord Oxburgh, whose Science Appraisalcollege in Minnesota has recently issued – and widely disseminated – a hilariously mendacious 83-minute attempted rebuttal of a speech by me about the climate last October in St. Paul, Minn.

Sunspots may have a more profound effect on Earth’s climate than previously understood, according to new research published in the scientific journal, Geophysical Research Letters, and presented to the American Meteorological Society.
The research, by Robert Hodges and Jim Elsner of Florida State University, looked at the frequency of hurricanes and sunspots from 1851 to 2008 during the Sun’s 11-year cycles. During periods of low sunspot activity, the researchers discovered, the probability of three or more hurricanes hitting the United States increases dramatically.

The techies, the coders, the illustrators ... From the specialists for the specialists.”

The Normans and the Republic of Venice also had a go, and then the Ottoman Empire muscled in. And then there were the travellers: traders, troubadours, jongleurs, spice merchants, whole populations uprooted – Tunisians were sent to Palermo in Sicily to build the cathedral, for instance.

Although, that being said, Episode 8 will probably show us why she is so powerful(at least I hope so).
My last gripe? waste of characters. Before I saw the movie I went to Uniqlo and see some Star Wars themed T-shirts. One of them show a pretty cool looking Stormtrooper called Captain Phasma, who was played by Gwendoline Christie who was Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. And was her character awesome in the movie? heck no, she was just some dumbass Stormtrooper captain who got captured and forced to help out the heroes. If the character was just going to be lame, just cast some no name actor and don't bother give the character a name and market her as if she was going to be important.that required taking down the filters to install new firewalls..
Facebook did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
Some Rouhani backers, however, believe the Iranian government had a hand in freeing up the Internet, even if briefly.
"God liberated Facebook," wrote Mohammad Reza on his Facebook account.
"This isn't really about a glitch even if one really happened," said Scott Lucas, an Iranian affairs expert at Britain's Birmingham University and editor of EAWorldView, a foreign policy website. "The bigger picture is that the Internet is central to the political battles inside the country in both the direction of domestic and foreign affairs."
The clampdown on Iran's social media was in response to the street riots and unrest after the disputed 2009 re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose opponents were among | {

highly educated population is adept at beating the controls through proxy service sites and other methods. Rouhani believes it's time to lift them from the shadows of the cyber world.
In a speech to parliament in August to introduce his telecommunications minister, Mahmoud Vaezi, Rouhani told lawmakers that Iran needs "active foreign communication to connect Iranian enterprises to the outside world for both transferring technology and entrepreneurship."
On Monday, Rouhani pushed into more difficult territory. In a carefully worded speech to Revolutionary Guard commanders, he reminded them of their role as guiding a military and industrial force that should leave politics to others.
"The (Guard) is above and beyond political currents, not beside them or within them," state TV quoted Rouhani as saying. "The Guard has a higher status."
Rouhani, meanwhile, hasdeveloped an active Twitter presence with a feed that is believed to be run by his close aides - although his office has left the actual stewardship of the account vague. Many of Rouhani's Cabinet members also have opened Facebook accounts.
Earlier this month, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif posted a Twitter message marking the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, for Iran's Jewish community and others around the world. It also was seen as a small bid toward easing hostilities between his nation and Israel.
One frustrated Facebook user, Vahid Shariat, bemoaned after the blocks were re-imposed: "When government ministers are using Facebook and other (social media) networks, why isn't it good enough for us?"

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
The children were adopted by Mother and her former husband (Father) after
being removed at birth from their biological parents due to pre-natal drug
exposure. In 2006, a dependency proceeding was commenced as the result of
physical abuse by Mother, domestic violence between Mother and Father, Father’s
abuse of alcohol, and Mother’s abuse of methamphetamine.2 Mother completed
services and reunited with the children in February 2009.3
The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) became involved
with the family again in June 2011, when Jordan arrived at school with a black eye.
He was questioned and revealed that Mother had hit him with a belt. He further
reported that she regularly hit him with a beltJordan had a black eye; on the second, he had marks on his
face and arm. The 2006 referrals included the allegation that Mother had hit four-year
old Jamie with a paddle, with sufficient force to break the paddle. In 2007, during the
prior dependency proceeding, Jamie returned from an overnight visit with a bruise on her
cheek from having been slapped by Mother.

Mother and Father separated prior to the children’s return, and Father has had only
occasional contact with the children since. He is not a party to this appeal.

provided monitored visitation.
DCFS was ordered to immediately begin providing anger management counseling
and individual counseling for Mother. In the period following the detention,
Mother visited the children regularly. In addition, Mother began attending
parenting classes, individual therapy and anger management classes. The children
stated they wanted to return to Mother.
Interviewed prior to the jurisdictional hearing, Jordan stated that Mother
regularly hit him when he got in trouble, leaving bruises all over his body. She
also pulled his hair and dragged him across the floor. On the day he sustained the
black eye, Mother’s companion had tried to hold her down to stop her from hitting
Jordan. Jordan said he wanted a new family or a “nicer” family. Jamie reported
being hit and also having her hair pulled. Mother admitted hittingovernight visits, claiming to have addressed the issues that brought
the family before the court. The court set a May 16 hearing on the petition. The
caseworker interviewed the children prior to the hearing. Jamie was opposed to
unmonitored visits or being returned to Mother; she was afraid Mother would “be
like she was before” once services were withdrawn. Jordan seemed ambivalent
when asked about unmonitored visitation with Mother or return to Mother and

when they were removed in June 2011, and had been out
of her care for almost two years at the time of the section 366.26 hearing. They
had previously been out of Mother’s care more than two years in connection with
the prior proceeding. Despite the services provided from 2006 through 2009,
Mother continued to regularly beat the children hard enough to leave bruises and
marks. Helen had taken the children into her home twice, and both times had
provided an environment where the children felt safe and secure. She ensured that
they engaged in healthful activities and that their therapeutic needs were met so
they could succeed academically. The children were closely bonded with Helen,
whom they called Nana, and her daughter, whom they regarded as a sister.

Sometime in April, 1983, the victim's mother learned that her future father-in-law was gravely ill in Laurel, Mississippi. She called on her neighbor, defendant herein, to look after her four small children while she drove to Laurel. Defendant had frequently served as her baby-sitter.

early 1983 while defendant searched for a job. At approximately 2:00 p.m., she left her trailer in Slidell and did not return until 11:00 p.m. The victim was eight years old at the time of the crime and was the oldest child. That evening, after the three smaller children had gone to bed, defendant proceeded to take three nude photographs of the victim. Defendant told her not to tell anyone about the incident.
On July 11, Sergeant Charles Mule of the Slidell Police Department learned from a confidential informant that defendant had in his possession three nude photographs of a white female juvenile. On July 12, Sergeant Mule and Sergeant Emily Holden contacted the victim's mother and the victim. The victim gave a taped statement verifying the information SergeantDetective Mule was told that Arley Rodriguez had shown the informant three nude photographs of a white female, age nine or ten. Rodriguez told the informant that he was the baby-sitter for this girl while the mother was at work. The informant stated that defendant offered to show him more pictures, but he became disgusted and left defendant's trailer. The informant pointed out the location of defendant's trailer and the victim's trailer.
On July 12, 1983, Detective Mule and Sergeant Emily Holden contacted the victim, who confirmed that defendant had taken three nude photographs of her at her trailer with a camera that develops the pictures. Defendant gave her a small amount of money. The victim also stated that defendant had tried to kiss her several times. The victim | {

once while he was babysitting. Defendant further alleges that he did not own a camera in April, 1983; and that, even if he had a camera, he would not know how to operate it.
There is absolutely no testimony supporting defendant's allegation of "revenge". In fact, the victim's mother testified that she had known defendant for seven to eight years and that, until this incident, he was a friend of the family. She further testified that she had never been romantically involved with defendant; rather, defendant was "like a brother". After defendant moved to Slidell from Franklinton, she had allowed him and his small son to stay at her trailer for about a month while he sought employment. After he found a job, Rodriguez moved into a nearby trailerbut remained good friends with the victim's mother. When it became necessary for her to make the trip to Laurel, Mississippi, defendant agreed to babysit for her. She did not learn about the pictures until she was contacted by Detective Mule.
The victim testified that the incident occurred on the day her mother drove to Laurel. After the younger children had gone to bed, she began to take a shower. *509 Defendant entered the bathroom and pulled the shower curtain back. He instructed her to pose for him, and he then took three pictures. She testified that she then went to bed, but defendant came into the room and asked her to let him take some more pictures, to which she refused. She further testified that she pulled defendant's | {

hair "as hard as [she] could" to get him to leave her bedroom. She identified the camera seized at defendant's trailer as the camera defendant used that night, and testified that no one else had ever taken any nude photographs of her. She did not tell her mother about the incident because defendant told her not to do so.
Defendant took the stand in his own behalf. He testified that the victim's mother gave him permission to discipline the victim if she misbehaved and that he had spanked her on one occasion. He denied taking the pictures and insisted that someone had hidden the pictures in his trailer without his knowledge. He testified that he did not own a camera in April, 1983, and did not even know howThe educational consultant assists families and students in the consideration of a variety of roads to graduation.

variety of educational roles with CEDU Education in Northern Idaho. Three of those roles have been in the areas of English composition and poetry, music, and history. As part of their high school program for adolescents, the Simpsons are now conducting classes and tutoring sessions with the help of other teachers and mentors.
The recent graduation I attended with a group of about 16 educators, friends and family members of the graduate, was an impressive testament to the importance of creative educators that are available to adolescents in this area. The graduation and celebration dinner was held at the Deep Creek Inn in the countryside just outside of town of Bonners Ferry. A wonderful dinner was served by the new owners, a French couple and much was tailored tothe wishes and delights of the graduate and her family – including the raspberry sauce on the graduation cake.
The graduation gathering honored the high school graduate with touching words and songs from her childhood and Bob Dylan’s Forever Young sung to her by her parents. Personal remembrances from the past year, poems written for the occasion, and a beautiful scrapbook, were offered to the graduate from Wendy Simpson, other teachers and “coaches”, neighbors and friends, and this consultant. Even the graduate was coaxed to let the group hear her beautiful operatic singing voice – some of which she acknowledges she has fortunately inherited from her parents – and grandparents who have sung with opera companies.

These original films below of Cymatic experiments were made in the 1960's by Swiss scientist, Dr. Hans Jenny. Hans Jenny (16 August 1904, Basel - 23 June 1972, Dornach) was a physician and natural scientist who is considered the father of cymatics; the study of wave phenomena. In 1967, Jenny published the first volume of Cymatics: The Study of Wave Phenomena. The second volume came out in 1972, the year he died. This book was a written and photographic documentation of the effects of sound vibrations on fluids, powders, and liquid paste. He concluded, "This is not an unregulated chaos; it is a dynamic but ordered pattern."1680 : Royal society member, philosopher, architect and polymath Robert Hooke noticed nodal patterns forming as he ran a violin bow alongit was jarring, like her teeth were being jarred loose. The bouncing happened about five to ten seconds apart. Finally there was a loud crash and the elevator stopped; the doors were pried open and they were able to crawl out. Three or four men were gathered there. The EMTs came and wanted to take Beach to the hospital because her blood pressure was so high, but she did not want to go.
It had been raining on the day of the incident, but it was not stormy. There were no power surges the whole day. "It was an old, dreary, rainy, January, Atlanta, Georgia day." The other elevators seemed to be working.
Beach did not speak to Saul Property's building manager, but did receive an e-mail from her. Beach | {

did not feel up to talking to her.
Deglel testified that during the time they were trapped in the elevator being bounced around, none of the emergency buttons worked. The elevator was going really fast; she was scared because "it was not a normal drop." While they were trapped, she called Saul Property and told the woman who answered that they were stuck in the elevator, but she was disconnected. Deglel called back and spoke to her two or three times telling her, "You have to get us now because we are going to die; the way this elevator is going, we are not going to make it. You have to get somebody in here." It seemed like they were in the elevator "forever." She was throwing up. Shethought she was going to die.
Then there was a "boom sound" and the door opened. They crawled out of the elevator. She was concerned about Beach because she was having heart problems. The paramedics were there, but they were mainly treating Beach.
Then, a security man came and Deglel told him that Beach was hurt and she told him "exactly what had happened" and that she was aching everywhere, that they had been throwing up in the elevator, and how long they were stuck there. He said that he was going to report it. Deglel did not speak to anyone from Saul Property until the next week.
Beach's doctor testified that the trauma to her hand required surgery, and Deglel suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. Beach and Deglel both introduced | {

the EMTs were on the scene treating Beach.
Saul Property's property manager testified that she was called by security and told about the incident. She was also told that paramedics were called to the scene. The security person told her that there had been an incident, they had gotten the women out of the elevator, that he had called the paramedics because he was concerned that one of the women either had a stroke or a heart condition, but that the paramedics had checked them out and they were fine and were going home. He also told her that one of the women was visibly upset. Despite this knowledge the property manager took no timely action to investigate whether Beach or Deglel were injured. She did not call theDeglel left their office on the thirteenth floor of the sixteen story office building and entered the freight elevator to descend and exit the building. There is no evidence as to why they chose to use the freight elevator rather than any of the other four passenger elevators in the building, which Beach said were operating and being used by other office workers. Nothing, however, shows that office workers were not invited to use the freight elevator. There is no evidence that the freight elevator was malfunctioning in any observable manner when the door opened and Beach and Deglel entered. According to Beach and Deglel, after they entered the elevator, they pushed buttons to go down to different levels, the door shut, and, instead of going down, the | {

the 53-week period up to and including the day of the malfunction at issue, ThyssenKrupp performed scheduled preventative maintenance on all the elevators in the building on 63 occasions, including a regular weekly maintenance schedule plus other scheduled maintenance. The evidence shows unscheduled service calls over this period in which ThyssenKrupp responded to and fixed reported problems on all five of the elevators in the building. There is no evidence of any unresolved problems with any of the elevators in the building leading up to and including the day of the malfunction at issue. The last reported problem relating to the freight elevator used by Beach and Deglel was reported and resolved two months prior to the malfunction at issue. There is no evidence that the amount ofThyssenKrupp were not properly performed. Beach testified that she had never previously experienced and was not aware of any elevator in the building malfunctioning by bouncing up and down like the freight elevator in the present incident. Deglel said that, although there were general complaints about the elevators in the building, she was not aware of prior complaints made to the building manager or to elevator maintenance. Although Beach and Deglel testified along with other co-workers that elevators in the building malfunctioned in various ways, there is no evidence that any malfunctions reported were not responded to and fixed. Moreover, the malfunction at issue occurred on the freight elevator, one of five elevators in the building. None of the testimony given by Beach, Deglel, or other co-workers about | {

testified that, after she got out of the elevator and was checked out by paramedics, co-workers took her back to her office in the building where "they got wet towels and then calmed us down," and she then drove home. Although a building security officer thought Beach may have had a stroke or heart condition, there was no evidence to confirm this, and Beach denied it. Beach first sought medical attention five or six days after the incident. Deglel testified that, after getting out of the elevator, she was seen by the paramedics but received no medical treatment. Deglel was confronted on cross-examination with testimony she gave in a prior deposition in which she admitted that paramedics asked her if she was okay and she responded "yeah."

the student was planning to go to a shooting range with his family on Monday. Police said the teen's parents were cooperative and handed over six legally owned handguns and rifles.
The student also apparently apologized on social media. He continued to post on Twitter after police left his house.
"I want everyone to know that I am a (expletive) idiot and the cops just came because I'm a (expletive) dum (expletive)," he tweeted.
The posts with the weapons have been deleted from his account.
Police said they also investigated another person who posted a message on Twitter saying, "I'm the one shooting up the school," as a reply to the 18-year-old student. Police said they found that there was no way for the second person to follow through on the threat.a resident of New Jersey, secretary of ACES, a former SPJ chapter president, a believer in the possibilities of print journalism and a member of the newspaper optimists club, as Juan Giner puts it.

In an earlier post I said that newspapers, like department stores, had become incoherent.

The 46-cap Czech Republic international will serve the sentence if he fails to win his appeal
Tomas Repka has been sentenced to six months in prison.
The former West Ham United defender and his partner were found guilty in a Czech Republic court of advertising the sexual services of his ex-wife online without her knowledge.
2 Repka was adored by Upton Park faithful for his no-nonsense approach to defending
The 44-year-old, who won 46 caps for his country, has been freed on appeal but faces six months in prison if he fails to overturn the ruling.
Repka, along with partner Katerina Kristelova, was found to have posted three fake escort ads online for his former wife Vlad’ka Erbova.
Kristelova, has been fined 50,000 crowns – £1,750 – for her involvement.
A contrite Repka said: “I’msorry – it was wrong of me. But my relationship with my ex-wife was not good.
“I wasn’t able to see my son, and the situation escalated.”
2 He was no stranger to controversy on and off the pitch
Repka signed for West Ham in 2001 in a club-record £5.5million deal, going on to make 167 appearances for the club as he helped them return to the Premier League in 2005.
While he is a cult hero in east London, his disciplinary record left a lot to be desired. After being sent off on his debut, he was red carded again on his return to the team.
He was capped 46 times for his country, but missed out on Euro 1996 because of suspension.

Finally, the following facts relate to the protests in Ferguson immediately following the shooting:
– Across the country, numerous black citizens have been shot and killed by white police officers under suspicious circumstances.
– Unarmed black teens Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis have also been killed by white citizens in recent years. Mostly–white juries failed to convict the offending citizens of murder (Mike Dunn, Davis’s killer, was found guilty of multiple counts of attempted murder, while George Zimmerman, who killed Martin, was acquitted).
– There is a clear pattern of racial profiling in Ferguson. About 67% of Ferguson citizens are black, but black people comprise less than 6% of the Ferguson police force. Over 85% of police stops and arrests are for black people.four faulty assumptions he makes while discussing executive compensation:
Faulty Assumption #1: The value individuals produce in the for-profit sector correlates highly with the salaries they earn.
Faulty Assumption #2: People make career decisions based primarily on monetary incentives.
Money certainly drives some people’s career decisions, but many people care at least as much, if not more, about some combination of prestige and ethics. Teach For America (TFA) is an excellent example of an organization that knows this fact – while TFA can offer corps members only beginning teacher salaries in its placement districts, the organization attracts the top graduates from the best colleges in the country.

The patrons of the Sunset Park library, one of the 20 busiest in the city, are hardly alone in their love for, and frustration with, their local branch. Demand for libraries reaches new highs with each passing year (nearly 34 million visits in 2016), while many of New York’s branches are woefully outmoded (the average library is 62 years old).
New York, graced with the generosity of Astor, Tilden and Carnegie, was foundational in the library movement. Today, those foundations are crumbling. Despite their popularity, and because of it, the city’sthe communities that can support these projects — every neighborhood, and every community, deserves great civic spaces,” said Ms. de la Uz, who is also a city planning commissioner.
In 2014, the city selected the Fifth Avenue Committee to undertake the novel task of redeveloping the Sunset Park branch. There, an eight-story building will rise, with the first two floors dedicated to a library 75 percent larger than the one there now. The floors above will have 49 apartments, all of which will be rented to low- and middle-income families in perpetuity.

York has already undertaken a number of library partnerships that underscore their promise.
Across from the Museum of Modern Art, a new 53rd Street branch has opened beneath a luxury hotel to largely positive reviews. New residential towers, from Battery Park City to the BAM Cultural District in Fort Greene, have incorporated libraries. A similar development underway in Brooklyn Heights has drawn criticism for having only market-rate apartments; this overlooks the $52 million earned in the deal, which is underwriting the Sunset Park project, among others.
Admirable as these are, New York has fallen well short of its potential. The city has built only 16 branches the past two decades, a paltry 8 percent increase, and nothing compared with rival metropolitan areas.
Other cities are much further ahead.

Empowering Lithuania’s Youth Around the World
Regular guest blogger, Aiste Zalepuga, attended this year's World Lithuanian Youth Summit that took place in Prienai July 10-13. She shares her story of the event.
Young Lithuanians from across the globe converged
on the Prienai region last month to get back to their roots, and encourage
and strengthen ties between Lithuania and members of its youth community, no
matter where they live.
The second World Lithuanian Youth Summit
(PLJS2014) attracted thousands of young Lithuanians to Harmony Park July 10-13.
“I believe the best part about the PLJS summit for everyone
was the feeling of unity during all the days of the event,” said Darius
Tamauskas, a PLJS board member who currently works in the United Kingdom.“Reuniting
with oldafter the opening ceremony.
“It was a very straightforward meeting where the President
explained her position and views of both domestic and foreign policy without
‘political correctness.’ Even those not interested in politics must have
enjoyed the meeting and understood the position of the President and what she
is facing on a daily basis,” Tamauskas said. “She was so open about what she
wanted to share with us that at one point of the meeting she asked a current
member of parliament to leave, so that only PLJS delegates would be present in
the room.”
Archbishop and former PLJS Chairman Gintaras
Grusas also welcomed attendees. Grusas, who grew up in California and now lives
in Lithuania, related to many of the audience members through his experiences
as an American-Lithuanian and as an active member of the organization during
his youth.

During the opening ceremonies, Minister of Foreign
Affairs Linas Linkevicius recognized Ray Bartkus, a New York-based Lithuanian artist. Bartkus designed
the 50 Lita note and has done illustrations for numerous
publications, including the Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine. For this
year’s summit, Bartkus created a life-size airplane landing strip from lights
on the park’s main hill that lit up in the evening.
Keynote speaker, former U.S. Speaker of the House
of Representatives Dennis Hastert, who encouraged the audience to take
initiative through strong leadership, in his speech, “Responsibility to make
our own history.”
Hastert explained what he calls the “four P's”:
purpose, passion, persistence and patience. Citing his own experience in taking
up to 12 years to pass legislation, Hastert said a combination of the “four P's”

It is unclear what prompted the body to pull its sponsorship, however, the views of Italy's ambassador to the UN may have played a role.

The "Career Girls Murders" was the name given by the media to the murders of Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie in their apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on August 28, 1963. George Whitmore, Jr., was charged with this and other crimes but later cleared.
The actions of the police department led Whitmore to be improperly accused of this and other crimes, including the murder of Minnie Edmonds and the attempted rape and assault of Elba Borrero. Whitmore was wrongfully incarcerated for 1,216 days — from his arrest on April 24, 1964, until his release on bond on July 13, 1966, and from the revocation of his bond on February 28, 1972 until his exoneration on April 10, 1973.

to buy drugs with money Robles had given him.
Delaney and his wife, Marjorie, were wired with listening devices, which were also installed in their and Robles' apartments. Over time, Robles talked about details of the murders that convinced investigators he was the real killer; he was arrested and charged on January 26, 1965.
Second arrest and conviction
In the autumn of 1965, Robles was tried for the Wylie-Hoffert murders. His attorneys attempted to buoy the credibility of Whitmore's Wylie-Hoffert confession to create a reasonable doubt that their own client had committed the crime. However, prosecutor John F. Keenan replied by summoning Whitmore and the detectives who had arrested him. Robles' attorneys were unable to translate doubts about police interrogation methods to their own client's advantage, despite testimony that Robles hadreligious figures have become attached to this story.

A woman who has had 10 written judgments made in a 16-year legal struggle to sue the Government for wrongful dismissal has been ordered by the highest court to seek its permission if she wants to sue again in future.
Ms Linda Lai, 59, was sacked as a senior officer at the Land Office of the Law Ministry in December 1998.
In January 2000, she sued the Public Service Commission, seeking a judicial review of her dismissal, which she claimed was due to her exposing her superiors' incompetence.
After her latest legal bid collapsed, Judge of Appeal Judith Prakash wrote in judgment grounds released last week: " One of the purposes of the (relevant law) is to protect litigants, such as Ms Lai, from themselves, and to thereby avoid the situationwhere they repeatedly bring court actions in different forms to re-litigate matters that have already been decided.
" If such an order is not made, the vexatious litigant, having lost sight of rationality or reality and being armed with an aggravated sense of injustice about his case, is very likely to persist indefinitely in instituting legal proceedings."
In 2001, the Court of Appeal ruled that the courts could not intervene and it was a contractual dispute between her and her employer.
In 2004, she sued the Government for wrongful dismissal and, after a string of legal moves, the suit was deemed discontinued when she took no further action.
But five years later, the Court of Appeal allowed her to resurrect the suit and in the trial that followed in 2010, her claim | {
"pile_set_name": [

was dismissed.
In 2011, she sought an order for the Court of Appeal to "reopen and rehear" three past decisions but this was also rejected by the High Court in 2012.
The following year, she asked the Court of Appeal to rule on an "array of disparate questions" linked to the rejected 2012 suit.
This was struck out by an assistant registrar and her appeal to the High Court failed.
The Attorney-General's Chambers subsequently applied in the High Court last year to restrain Ms Lai from trying to revive her case without the court's permission.
Ms Lai, representing herself, appealed to the apex court against the decision at a hearing in May.
The court, in dismissing her appeal, made clear the number of proceedings brought by a litigant, though relevant, " should not begiven undue weight".
" There is no magic number of legal proceedings that have to have been brought before a litigant would be labelled as vexatious."
The court found, among other things, that Ms Lai was unable to back her claims that the court had been biased against her in the various past legal proceedings.
"The history of the previous legal proceedings shows that Ms Lai is unwilling and unable to accept that her claims have been dismissed", which meant she would continue to pursue her claims in court "until a court finds for her and gives her exactly the relief that she seeks".
Judge Prakash, who was writing on behalf of the apex court - which included Justices Belinda Ang and Quentin Loh - added: "This is a clear case that | {

TAMPA — Inside a nondescript white-washed office building across from St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa is one of the state's first walk-in clinics for patients seeking medical marijuana.
Similar to a walk-in urgent care center, Tetra Health Care is a place where patients can see a licensed doctor about obtaining medical marijuana as a form of treatment.
Tracilea Young, president and founder of the California-based chain of clinics, saw an opportunity to expand in Florida after the most recent round of legislation passed in Tallahassee earlier this year. She's opened six Tetra Health Care clinics in Florida so far. Five of those are in the Tampa Bay area, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa and Brandon locations. She plans to open 20 more across the state by next year.
"With such ahigh population of aging communities, medical marijuana is needed here," Young said. "You wouldn't believe the patients we see who come in here with Excel spreadsheets detailing all the medications they're on and when they take which pill. I just want to cry for them."
Medical marijuana is a new but burgeoning industry in Florida, with laws that change nearly every year. Lawmakers have limited the selling and growing of marijuana to seven companies, but that number will expand to 17 this year, based on last-minute legislation that came out of a special session in Tallahassee earlier in this summer.
"Florida is the No. 1 state in terms of attracting marijuana companies right now," said Pete Sessa, chief operating officer and co-founder of the Florida Cannabis Coalition. "It's the newest | {

Unfortunately, these jihadist groups have us in their cross-hairs here, as well. That danger is all the greater on both sides of the Atlantic because of the subversive infrastructure-building by the granddaddy of virtually all contemporary Islamic supremacist groups: the Muslim Brotherhood. Brotherhood mosques, front groups and influence operations create the sea in which the violent Islamists swim – and hide.
Not to worry, though. President Obama has just appointed as his Muslim American community liaison a third-generation Muslim Brotherhood operative: Zaki Barzinji. The practical effect of this appointment will be more Brotherhood influence in U.S. policy – and less security for Americans in this country, as well as overseas.
An NBC News report listed 15 Americans with connections to the Islamic State (IS), includinga cell featuring three residents of Columbus, Ohio . The names were connected to a flash drive that former IS member Abu Mohammaed stole when he defected from IS. While most of the names were known to law enforcement these three had successfully left America to join IS undetected. The three IS members were identified as Jeffrey Khan, Zakia Nasrin, and Rasel Raihan.
Nasrin was described as a promising student whose family immigrated from Bangladesh in 2000. She graduated valedictorian of her senior class at Metro Early College High School and enrolled at Ohio State University as a pre-med major. Nasrin’s family says she met Khan online and married him in 2010. Jaffrey was the son of immigrant parents who moved to Palo Alto but divorced when he was | {

still young.
Jaffrey’s had always struggled in school and in life according to his father, Salem Khan, who runs a multi-million dollar healthcare IT business. friends say that the younger Khan became a devout Muslim, and according to family members shortly after began to espouse anti-American sentiment. ” Khan’s family noticed he was very strict with his new bride making her wear a hijab and veil cover her face. Ahmed Khan the cousin to Khan noted he made all men leave the room if Nasrin was present, or Khan made her sit in the car.
They returned to Columbus and moved into an apartment on Riverview Drive just north of Ohio State University.
The nation’s top intelligence official says the U.S. could experience Paris- or Brussels-style coordinated, murderous terrorist attacks. Hethey should, signing Andrew Whitworth to a three-year contract that guaranteed him $15 million. They released center Tim Barnes, but replaced him with John Sullivan, a six-year fixture on the Vikings' offensive line until back issues crept up in 2015. Whitworth, however, is 35, his window closing. Sullivan, 31, came over on only a one-year contract. And the Rams still don't have a young, long-term solution at left tackle or center.
But this didn't seem like the draft to get one.
It was deep at several different positions, but offensive linemen certainly was not one of them. For the first time in the common draft era, which dates back to 1967, no offensive linemen were taken within the top 15. Only two were taken in the entire first round. And | {

only one, Garett Bolles at 20th overall to the Broncos, went within the top 31. The draft was especially devoid of left tackles. It had some intriguing centers for the middle and late rounds, but the Rams instead signed a couple of undrafted free agents -- Jake Eldrenkamp out of Washington and Anthony McMeans out of New Mexico State -- who will work out at center for them.
Last year's Rams offensive line was rated 27th by Pro Football Focus. Behind it, Jared Goff absorbed 25 sacks over his last six games and Todd Gurley averaged the second-fewest yards before first contact. But there's a key reason the Rams didn't address it in the draft, outside the lack of talent available and the free agents they signed: new offensiveJulisa Abad said she's one of the more fortunate transgender women in Detroit's Six Mile and Woodward area.The 34-year-old said she's never worked in the sex industry, but she understands why many others feel as if they don't have a choice "When I first moved to Detroit, despite everything that I brought to the table, I couldn't find employment," Abad told ABC News.
