conflict (such as through estimates of resource holding potential). Gender General Gender plays an important role in human aggression. There are multiple theories that seek to explain findings that males and females of the same species can have differing aggressive behaviors. One review concluded that male aggression tended to produce pain or physical injury whereas female aggression tended towards psychological or social harm. In general, sexual dimorphism can be attributed to greater intraspecific competition in one sex, either between rivals for access to mates and/or to be chosen by mates. This may stem from the other gender being constrained by providing greater parental investment, in terms of factors such as gamete production, gestation, lactation, or upbringing of young. Although there is much variation in species, generally the more physically aggressive sex istypical pattern of primates where several males and females live together in a group and the male faces an intermediate number of challenges from other males compared to exclusive polygyny and monogamy but frequent sperm competition. Evolutionary psychology and sociobiology have also discussed and produced theories for some specific forms of male aggression such as sociobiological theories of rape and theories regarding the Cinderella effect. Another evolutionary theory explaining gender differences in aggression is the Male Warrior hypothesis, which explains that males have psychologically evolved for intergroup aggression in order to gain access to mates, resources, territory and status. Physiology Brain pathways Many researchers focus on the brain to explain aggression. Numerous circuits within both neocortical and subcortical structures play a central role in controlling aggressive behavior, depending on the species, and

Police Marine Division (officers Seda, Ronda, Toro, and Torres). The FURA team left shore, heading south, around 7:00 p.m. About half an hour later, they received a radio message from a boat identifying itself as the M/V CATU. The CATU stated that it was traveling from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico and wanted to know the weather conditions along the west coast. Irizarry furnished the requested information and, upon inquiry by the CATU, identified himself as a representative of the marine police. He refused, however, to give a specific answer to the CATU's request concerning the FURA boat's location. 3 In order to avoid the worsening weather, Irizarry changed direction and headed north toward Mayaguez. Around 9:15 p.m., the FURA boat approached theis "the officer in charge at the time." 34 The policemen's designation forms offered two possible sources of approval for specific actions: the "Special Agent-in-Charge" or "Watch Commander." The government admits that no permission was obtained from the Special Agent-in-Charge, Jaime Echevarria. Instead, it was agent Jimenez who authorized the search. Jimenez testified that, when he received the call requesting permission to board the CATU, he was the "functional equivalent" of a watch commander. Defendants argue that this is an inherently implausible conclusion since Jimenez was not at a duty station but attending a baseball game when the call was received. Such an argument, however, takes much too parochial a view of command status. The evidence showed that Jimenez was wearing

"Not a lot of people are doing the work we are doing." Miller, who will also make the trip to Chicago, said a CCDA member visited in February and was so impressed by the work done at the Center for Peace, the invitations were extended to take part in the national training event.

the Facebook Help Community forum, in which users can raise questions and write about their experiences, have contributed to the algorithm theory for years. Not the first time Facebook’s actions in India have drawn comparisons with the blocking of numerous accounts and pages in Pakistan in 2014 that were severely criticised by advocates of free speech. Among the Pakistani accounts that faced action were Left-Wing political pages and the pages of a popular rock band whose members spoke out against the Taliban, a radical militant organisation. After an outcry on social media, several of the accounts were restored. In a report, The New York Times quoted a Facebook spokesperson in London saying it had blocked the pages after receiving an official request from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, and that thePressure on China's leaders to cut pollution from coal is likely to intensify – potentially hurting Australia's exports – with new research showing Beijing's air quality will get worse with climate change. The Chinese capital's ring of mountains to the west and north naturally traps pollution, especially in winter. But a warming world is projected to increase the frequency of the most severe pollution events by half, according to research published on Tuesday in the Nature Climate Change journal. The duration of events similar to the "Airpocalypse" of January 2013 – when pollution levels soared to beyond 20 times the level recommended by the World Health Organisation – will rise by 80 per cent, the study found.

recognized by the international community. Instead the old government remained in exile from 1944 through 1992 in Stockholm, Sweden, and returned to power in 1992. That's what happened and what has been recognized. The state border line was redrawn after the war with Finland in 1944 as well. So this border treaty essentially represents the end of the Cold War. That is why it is so important. esmaspäev, juuni 20, 2005 The Riigikogu ratified the border treaty with the Russian Federation today, passing the resolution 78 - 4. Res Publika had originally refused to vote until a preamble was added that mentioned the occupation and annexation of Estonia in 1940 and 1944 by Russia's predecessor state, the USSR. However, the ruling colaition disagreed with that idea. A compromise was drafted that claimedthat the current Estonian republic was the same republic that was declared in the Treaty of Tartu in 1920. The 'occupation and annexation' claims were dropped because the Estonian parliament knew that the Russian parliament would object to these claims and thought it fruitless to pursue recognition of this historical wrong when they could just as easily get their border treaty signed. The preamble reads: Proceeding from the legal continuity of the Republic of Estonia proclaimed on 24 February 1918, as it is stipulated in the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia, from the Resolution of the Republic of Estonia Supreme Council of 20 August 1991 "On the National Independence of Estonia," and from the Declaration of the Riigikogu of 7 October 1992 "On the Restoration of Constitutional Power," and

Peter Bradshaw flatly labeled "The best American film of the year") a failure. But it did open the 2000s on a less than triumphant note for the Coens, setting up a half-decade stretch that is generally taken to be their driest period creatively, if not commercially. Their follow-up to _The Man Who Wasn't There_ was supposed to be an adaptation of _Deliverance_ author James Dickey's 1993 novel _To the White Sea_ into an epic action movie. The book is a terse, exciting account of a downed American rear-gunner trying to survive in the Japanese capital during an attack by his own countrymen; the Coens' plan was to film it mostly without dialogue. "Don't set a movie in Tokyo during the firebombing unless you have a lot of moneyon that film that music would remind you—and I know it sounds ridiculous—but it would remind you that you were watching a movie. And of course we know we're all sitting in a movie, but music really took you out of the particular reality of that film. I think there are directors who take music seriously and think about its presence in a film, or about its absence. Hitchcock was one of those directors, and I think Joel and Ethan are as well. **In _Blood Simple_ , the music is minimal but it definitely has presence. The main pop cut on the soundtrack is very nasty, "It's the Same Old Song," indicating this kind of circular misanthropy. The piano motif of the score is also circular—it goes around and

Not exactly a face you want barreling down at you. iStockphoto.com /Adrian Jones Walking down a New York City street, the last thing you might expect is for a torpedo to come barreling down at you from atop the Empire State Building. Yet as you absentmindedly watch the pigeons peck away at someone's discarded­ tuna on rye, an oncoming streak of gray and white barely gives you enough time to take cover under a nearby bench. The pecking pigeons aren't so lucky, and the torpedo, which now appears to have a beak and talons, flies off to a nearby skyscraper, pigeon in tow, to enjoy its snack. By now you probably realize that the flash of feathers was one of the peregrine falcons that now call bustling cities like Newperegrine falcons are the most widespread bird in the world, absent only on isolated islands and in high mountains, expansive deserts and jungles. Although it may be difficult to spot one sitting still, you can identify them by their bluish-gray backs and similarly colored long, pointed wings, as well as the white and black spots on their bellies. They also have black stripes set against their whitish faces, which resemble mustaches. As fast as they are, peregrine falcons could barely outrun (or outfly) the dangers of Dichloro-diphenyl-trichlorethane (DDT). Beginning in the 1940s and lasting through the early '70s, the entire American peregrine falcon population experienced drastic declines due to the widespread use of this deadly pesticide, which caused their eggshells to weaken and break and led baby peregrine falcons

“A Bit Of An Away Game” That's how Romney describes next week's primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. Scott Galupo notes that Mitt's "Southern problem" is not necessarily about the South: Republican presidential candidates obviously don't win general elections by winning Dixie alone. They win in swing states like Ohio. And they win in swing states like Ohio by turning out Southern-type voters who live in Ohio—evangelicals and Reagan Democrats. … Romney's "Southern problem" therefore isn't that he's in danger of losing Southern states; it's that he's not reaching those demographic chunks of non-Southern states that most resemble the South.its efforts to mint its own brands given the success of its food-themed vertical, Tasty.

Image caption General Petraeus (l) is tipped to replace Leon Panetta (r) at the CIA Gen David Petraeus, the US head of international forces in Afghanistan, will be nominated as CIA director when its chief moves to head the Pentagon, unnamed US officials have said. CIA director Leon Panetta will be nominated to take over as US defence secretary when Robert Gates retires in 2011, the sources said. The changes will be officially announced on Thursday. Mr Gates was first appointed as defence secretary by George W Bush in 2006. The shuffling of the top national security jobs has been the subject of weeks of speculation. Analysis It has been rumoured for some time that Gen Petraeus would be on the move by the end of the year. The question was whether he wouldbecome the next chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, or head somewhere else. The rumour has been that Mr Obama favours the current vice-chief at the Pentagon, Gen James Cartwright, to take over the top military job, so director of the CIA looked a more likely slot for General Petraeus. Exact timing will be key. There are still important issues in Afghanistan over the summer to do with the campaign, the strategy, and troop withdrawals. But there will be a vacancy at the CIA, it seems. Leon Panetta's challenge will be greater, and his reported nomination is more significant. He has a hard act to follow in Robert Gates, who is widely respected as both a deft and safe pair of hands. The Pentagon also faces

aspiration of ordinary people to take control of their lives that fueled passion for the revolt against the human condition of monarchy, exemplified by the imposed authority of King George. Despite all the flaws, contradictions and inherent inequality with the founders and the large gap between ideals and reality, the Bill of Rights was a groundbreaking move away from the single power of central authority, whether it be King, plutocrat or president. It was an attempt to create a shift from the centralized throne to a system of law, specifically with the U.S. Constitution as a mechanism for the balance of power. This history-making document is a declaration of the supreme power of the common man. It recognizes everyday people as the primary active agent within any healthy society. Nowithdraw that trust and authority. Yet despite the ideals in the Declaration, from its inception democracy in the U.S. Republic was never intended to be direct, created of the people, by the people and for the people. The idea of equality self-evidenced in the Declaration was kept unfree as the Republic took representation as its formal governing structure. The true revolutionary force behind the First Amendment remained leashed. This was most apparent in the denial of rights for slaves, indigenous people and women. Though in many ways it was a groundbreaking concept, American democracy still had a tendency for corruption and unchecked power of privilege. In this representative form of governance, some progress was made, but the fuller meaning of the First Amendment remained unrealized and was simply translated as

The global architecture of the research on patient safety was visualised by using DEMPs developed by Gastner and Newman.[@R13] The advantage of this technique is that the worldwide situation can be captured immediately in its entirety by showing the differences via resizing of the country shapes. The calculation of the ratio of the number of publications to the countries' population as well as to the countries' GDP per Capita supports the assessment of global landscape, so that it can be interpreted more meaningfully. The carried out gender analysis puts its focus on both the international differences and the differences between the most assigned subject areas.

The vessels thus armed, moreover, were always at sea, the men never at home. When it was desired to practise them in the raising of the sluice-gates which, in the event of invasion, were to convert Romney Marsh into an inland sea, no efforts availed to get together sufficient men for the purpose.

The man killed was not the victim of the accident. The victim was the officer or gangsman who was responsible for striking him off the roll of His Majesty's pressable subjects, and who thus let himself in for the consequences, more or less disagreeable, which inevitably followed. While it was naturally the ambition of every officer engaged in pressing "to do the business without any disagreeable accident ensuing," he preferred, did fate ordain it otherwise, that the accident should happen at sea rather than on land, since

Claims of wrongdoing by Libertarian National Committee staffers during Browne's 1996 presidential campaign surfaced during his second run in 2000. Browne responded to allegations surrounding the controversy.[6] After the 2000 elections, Browne continued to work to increase the popularity of libertarian goals. In addition to writing and making appearances on behalf of the Downsize DC Foundation (an organization he helped to co-found and for which he served as Director of Public Policy for a year and a half), he hosted two weekly network radio shows,[7] one on Saturdays dealing with politics, which he often called "The Libertarian Conversation" (since listeners were encouraged to call in), and the other on Sundays, called "The MoneyShow", dealing with financial topics. Both of these radio programs were on the Genesis Communications Network. Browne also worked with the Free Market News Network, of which he was the President for much of 2005, and a Senior Political Analyst. Via Free Market News, he had his own internet-based television show called This Week in Liberty, which ran for 25 episodes. Prior to his death, he was also working on a book called The War Racket: The Lies, Myths, and Propaganda that Feed the American War Machine.

The key to effective delegating is to help people understand that "there's no such thing as perfection. It doesn't exist, and perfection always kills excellence," Weiss says. With the 80-hour executive, Weiss says he helped him understand that when an employee is performing tasks that are "good enough," leave it at that and move on. With that understanding, Weiss helped the executive identify the high-level tasks he absolutely had to do due to his level of expertise, but he also helped him figure out who on his team could best handle the rest of the work. After learning to delegate, his client eventually reduced his hours to around 60

REUTERS/Chris Helgren (Reuters) - Air Canada AC.TO said on Wednesday it has removed Boeing's BA.N 737 MAX from its flight schedule until June 30, 2020, a day after the U.S. planemaker warned the grounded jet would not win regulatory approval until mid-year. The Canadian airline, which has 24 MAX aircraft in its fleet, said the decision was based on operational considerations after Boeing revealed that the MAX’s return to service would be further delayed. The final decision on the aircraft’s return would be based on the company’s safety assessment, following a green light from thegovernment and approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada, Air Canada said. The country’s biggest carrier had previously said it would not fly the MAX until Feb. 14, 2020. Boeing on Tuesday flagged potential developments in the MAX certification process and regulatory scrutiny on its flight control system. Following the announcement, Canada’s WestJet Airlines said it would remove the MAX from its schedule through June 24. Expecting approval in the first quarter, American Airlines Group Inc AAL.O, United Airlines Holdings Inc UAL.O and Southwest Airlines Co LUV.N had scheduled MAX flights in early June, but are now expected to extend their timelines. The 737 MAX has been grounded worldwide since mid-March, as Boeing updates its flight control software at the center of two crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that together

PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) is a widely adopted treatment in the case of coronary artery stenotic diseases such as stenocardia and myocardial infarction. In PTCA, the stenotic lesion of the blood vessel (coronary artery) is pushed open from its inside to enable the blood to flow therethrough. In order to avoid restenosis of the blood vessel after the blood vessel dilatation, an expandable intraluminal graft ("stent") as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,665 has been developed. A stent is a cylindrical medical device used to maintain the inside opening of a body duct such as a blood vessel and bile duct. The stent is introduced into the body duct in compacted or folded thin

Brandy further testified that Decker appeared to be slurring his speech, but admitted that she was unaware of whether his speech was usually slurred. She refused to opine as to whether she believed Decker was intoxicated. Jason Mabbitt, a paramedic with San Marcos EMS, testified that he arrived on the scene after Decker had been placed in the back seat of a police car. He treated a cut on Decker’s hand. He observed that Decker was “alert and oriented to person, place, time andevents.” According to Mabbit, Decker’s speech was slurred and Mabbit smelled alcohol on his breath. He asked Decker if he had consumed any alcohol, to which Decker replied, “No comment.” Mabbit did not, however, form an opinion as to whether Decker was intoxicated.

Mrs. Fielding donated $245,000 to allow the city to purchase the 12-acre property on which the school once sat. She also agreed to foot much of the $150,000 bill for the school’s demolition. In August 2016, Mrs. Fielding celebrated her 100th birthday by donating $1 million for the purchase of 300 more acres of land. She made that donation in memory of her parents, Susanna and John Kivi, as well as the Finnish immigrants who settled in the neighbourhood and helped shape the city.

Mahaprabhu saw the elaborate preparations made for offering food to Radha and Govinda and to serve Him, and praised Sarvabhauma for his efforts. When He sat down to eat, Sarvabhauma’s son-in-law, Amogha, came to watch. Sarvabhauma knew Amogha’s fault-finding character and so had kept a stick to chase him away so that he would not disturb the Lord. However, he was so absorbed in serving the Lord that Amogha managed to sneak in. He saw the lavish feast, he immediately began to criticize: “There is enough food here to satisfy a dozen people and yet this sannyasi is going to eat all this by Himself?” (Chaitanya Charitamrita 2.15.248) Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya flared up in anger, took the stick whichhe had at the ready and went after Amogha, who fled as fast as he could. Sarvabhauma’s wife, shocked on hearing her son-in-law insult the Lord, began to flail herself on the head and chest and repeatedly said, “May Nathi become a widow!” The Lord Himself laughed off Amogha’s trivial criticisms and tried to pacify Sarvabhauma and his wife. The next day, however, Amogha came down with cholera. Sarvabhauma thought that justice was being done, that it was a suitable punishment for the offensive words spoken by his son-in-law. When Gopinath Acharya informed Mahaprabhu that Sarvabhauma and his wife were both fasting and that Amogha was on his deathbed with cholera, the merciful Lord immediately went to Amogha’s bedside, placed His hand on his chest and said, “This Brahmin’s heart

of jointly developing comprehensive industrial policies under the auspices of regional integration bodies such as the Southern African Customs Union (SACU). Regional co-operation in industrial policy design and implementation has the potential to both identify and capitalise on the productive synergies that exist between states, and to enhance the integrated performance of industrial sectors across borders. The Zambian economy has undergone profound reforms in the last two decades. It has transited to a market economy from the previously centrally planned economy. As part of the economy-wide reforms, the country's industrial and trade policies have also been re-oriented to suit the needs of the market-oriented economy. This paper therefore reviews the evolution of Zambia's industrial and trade policies from 1964, when the country gained independence, to 2009. This period isthe Structural Adjustment Programme and re-oriented its trade and industrial policies towards the market. Government's role has changed from that of an investor to creating a conducive (mainly macroeconomic stability and licensing reforms) and incentivised environment for private export oriented industrialisation strategy. The incentives have included fiscal incentives and infrastructural support. The reforms have resulted in an increased production and export of manufactured goods by more than 300% between 1991 and 2008. The paper focuses on the conduct of trade and industrial policies in Malawi, their linkages and impacts on the performance of the trade and industry sectors. The study establishes that Malawi has gone through three stages of trade and industrial policy. From focusing on the production and trade of a few agricultural commodities during the colonial era,

During the middle of the 19th century, London’s antiquarian market was flooded by the sudden arrival of a large number of supposedly mediaeval leaden artifacts of unknown origin. Questions about the authenticity of the items were raised, but the general consensus was that they were real. The objects were eventually revealed to be forgeries made by two lowly criminals with no background in either history or archaeology. In fact, they were illiterates. As expected, their products were also inept and crude. What’s embarrassing was how readily some of the most authoritative medievalists of Victorian London fell for the slipshod workmanship. Known as Shadwell forgeries these medieval-looking medallions, amulets and coins with nonsensical inscription and jumbled numeration were today’s equivalent to phishing emails with incorrect spellings and grammar. The Shadwellforgeries were the work of two mudlarks, William Smith (Billy) and Charles Eaton (Charley), who scoured the banks of the Thames for anything of value that they could sell. It eventually dawned on them that they could earn more by fabricating antiques themselves. In 1857, Billy and Charley began manufacturing a range of “medieval” objects by making moulds out of plaster of Paris and casting the objects in lead and later a lead-based alloy. Their techniques were extremely primitive and amateurish, leading to poorly defined edges, pitted and uneven surfaces and poorly drawn figures of knights wearing strange spikey crowns and bearing childish expressionless faces. Inscriptions were just meaningless scribbles since neither Billy nor Charley could spell. To give the appearance of age, the objects were treated with acid

On this raid, one of the bound survivors is spotted taking a ring from his finger and swallowing it so as to keep the pirates from having it. The pirate captain calls one of his men over and tells him of the foolish deed and motions him to retrieve the ring.

Top cop resigns in disgrace over link to racist and obscene posts One of Victoria Police's most senior officers and the head of the force's Professional Standards Command has resigned in disgrace over racist and obscene posts made under the pseudonym Vernon Demerest. Assistant Commissioner Brett Guerin, head of Professional Standards and a police officer of 40 years, was last week referred to Victoria's anti-corruption watchdog after The Age revealed he posted shocking comments under the online pseudonym "Vernon Demerest". The Age revealed on Monday that that nom de plume has been also linked to several vile posts on social media under the Demerest alias, including references to "cheating dagos", "third world dullards", "Indian and Pakistani peasant[s]" and "jigaboo[s]". Within an hour of The Age revealing the new allegations, Mr Guerin resignedAnti-corruption Commission last week after The Age revealed he was responsible for offensive comments about former Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon and former Police Association boss Paul Mullett on a blog.

Last Friday, he was directed by Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton to take leave while the state's corruption watchdog investigates him.

ever abuse the saints of God and for selfish, greedy purposes slaughter innocent sheep and tender lambs, it is at least as bad if not worse when carnal, ungodly church-members rise up against a godly, holy shepherd and bring railing accusations against him, ultimately seeking to destroy his ministry because he dared to stand up against them for what is right. A pastor has perhaps one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. He is expected to love everybody, treat everyone fairly, and never be offended by anything anyone would say or do. And he is expected to mysteriously produce and maintain an aura of respectability in a church. He must visit and pray for the sick, be attentive to the concerns and complaints of each member ofthe church, bless babies, marry young couples, and bury the dead. All of this he must do while seeking to know the mind of Christ for the church as a whole, and for each individual as well. And he must teach doctrine and preach the gospel. And for the most part, he is well rewarded for his labor. By and large, Apostolics are very faithful in giving honor to whom honor is due, and even giving double honor from time to time. But there is a blight that will sometimes settle in on a congregation, a blight that if it is not removed in time will choke the very life out of the local assembly and often jeopardizes the health and sanity of the shepherd.

As a high school freshman in Greensboro, N.C., weighing his prospects for a basketball career, John Isner was forced to admit that dribbling was not his specialty. “I couldn’t handle the ball at all,” Isner said. “Not even average.” That has changed dramatically in adulthood: Isner is a standout dribbler in an entirely different sport. His penchant for bouncing the ball between his legs as he plants his left foot and squares up to the baseline is a key component of the buildup to his serve — one of the biggest ever.

After obtaining Decker’s consent, Mesa searched Decker’s vehicle and found under the passenger seat an empty, twenty-four-ounce beer can in a paper bag. At that point, Mesa was not yet concerned that Decker might have been intoxicated. Mesa then spoke to the Charltons again. When he returned to Decker, Mesa asked him to perform field sobriety tests, but Decker refused. It was then that Mesa formed the opinion that Decker was intoxicated and arrested him. Mesa’s opinion was based in part on Decker’s acts, the smell of alcohol on his breath, the description of the accident, and the fact that Decker left the scene.

Sharing a photo of her and her son, James, at the premiere of Incredibles 2, King was clearly proud of her son's sense of self-expression. "I love my baby SO MUCH!!!" she wrote in the photo's caption, adding that he even "chose my lipstick and dress". King added a love note to her husband, Kyle Newman, writing: "The greatest creation has been our love made manifest in our children."

of the son.Whenever I see a column criticizing social traditions and public policies that ignore children born to parents of modest means - without stock market portfolios or networks of well-connected friends that whites are priviledged to have from STOLEN wealth or FREE labor from slaves. You might as well ask: Why didn't those children do a better of job of choosing their parents?Since children obviously cannot choose their families, it's impractical, at best, to neglect those born outside the magic circle of white middle-class attainment, social mobility has been limited by a range of trends, including the demise of manufacturing jobs and the making of laws constructed by mostly whites, that benefits only their own. In turn these circumstances makes the routes to a better life blocked,and their circumstances more limited than many of us can imagine. This is a very interesting question Vera and one that I've answered to white people to their face and my answer has been met with many different reactions. Though most of them didn't like my answer. First, did you know that "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" was a tune done by James Brown back in the sixties? But to answer your question. It's all about perception. This country (the United States)was founded by, had it's constitution written by and is basically run by white people. Most of it's politicians, corporate leaders high ranking business executives are white. Almost all the most popular television shows are of or having to do with white people and their

One of Mullen's proposals, which would abolish the city's Board of Public Works, caused so much noise and applause from the audience that the Chairman threatened to clear the hall. Mayor James Chambers later commented that "Mullen was trying the spend the city's money like a drunken sailor" by proposing several orders that would've increased public expenditure. That March, he walked out of a meeting to avoid voting on the city's budget, which would cause the budget to be referred back to the Finance Committee. Alderman Fred C.

his temper, flipping a bat over his shoulder in frustration, only to get sued when the bat landed in the stands and conked a fan and his wife on the head. That story acknowledges the 1956 Robinson, older and slower and grayer, who looks very much like Tim Duncan today. That Robinson finished as an everyday, inning-by-inning threat, but fierce in competitive bursts, convinced of his ability to pull yet another moment of magic out of a spent body. That story remembers the loyal Robinson who was a lifelong Republican, supporter of Richard Nixon, believer that the best hope for black America in 1960 lay with the Republican Party, convinced even as the evidence mounted against him, that the Party of Lincoln could still be counted on. Robinson was sucha powerful force during the 1960 presidential campaign between Nixon and John F. Kennedy that the Kennedy camp feared his influence with black America could tip the election to the Republicans. So their camp strategized, calling on another famous black ballplayer to neutralize Nixon. That player was Henry Aaron, who, beginning with that phone call from the Kennedy camp, became a lifelong Democratic supporter, all the way through the campaigns of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton once more. Through Robinson -- even though they were on opposite sides of the election -- came Henry Aaron's political awakening.AP Photo/John Rooney The whole Robinson was, in many ways, discarded by so many who grew famous and wealthy and better because of him. Aaron never wavered.

flip his hips and has a burst out of his turn. He possesses quick feet and can move in transition very well. He dominates at a very low level of competition (Div. II) and rarely goes up against a receiver with any kind of speed. He is raw with his technique and can get away with that versus his competition. He played at the East-West and Senior Bowl and showed improvement in the two weeks there with NFL coaching. He has a good jam and is a good press corner, can mirror receivers through moves, and has the suddenness required. He didn’t time well at the combine but plays faster. He will need to be re-timed at his pro day. His play speed is closer to 4.50.

The parties each presented a cause and origin expert on the issue, and each expert came to a different conclusion. The State's expert was Washington Township's Fire Marshall and Captain. He arrived at the fire scene shortly after the fire department received the initial call. During the ensuing investigation, the Captain and an investigative team eliminated all accidental causes.

be sent to revolutionary committees for implementation. Observers have noted instances in which Gaddafi, in a nominal role of avuncular overseer, was rebuffed by the Jamahiriya system and times where he rejected its demands. As head of the armed forces, he never really relinquished the power that would have made the Jamahiriya all the more empowering to the population. But this is not to say it does not include elements that American democracy could not profit by, notably the Jeffersonian and anarchic notion of delegating decision-making to the most grassroots level. Among the numerous transformative changes that benefited large swathes of society were the nationalization of the oil industry and the reduction of imperial influence in the country. The standard of living improved dramatically, surpassing every other African nationby the time of Gaddafi’s demise. Education and healthcare were freely provided. Housing was freely provided. Portions of oil proceeds were deposited directly into citizen bank accounts. Electricity was free. New mothers received a state grant. Illiteracy was dramatically reduced. Gaddafi even demanded that foreign oil companies pay for the losses inflicted on the country by the West’s illegal sanctions in connection to the Lockerbie scandal from the 1980s. But that is only part of the story. It was Gaddafi who supported the African National Congress (ANC) at a time when Washington considered it a brutal terrorist organization, and Nelson Mandela as its sinister cohort. It was Gaddafi who put $300 million dollars up to start a fund that created Africa’s first satellite communications system called RASCOM (Regional African

LONDON — What would you give young apprentices of Barcelona for Christmas? They belong to an elite school. They enter the academy at nine years of age, but they wait and they wait while Barça’s first team, full of world champions, plays dream soccer. And then, with 84,000 at the Camp Nou stadium, the coach Pep Guardiola says “Boys, this is your call. Take your chance.” The Barcelona story is set to run and run. On Tuesday, with the club already assured the top place in its Champions League group, the coach fielded a largely second-string squad, and still Barça beat the Russian champion, Rubin Kazan, 2-0. Thiago Alcántara, the already vaunted midfield understudy to Xavi, excelled again. Defender Andreu Fontàs overcame nerves to score in his Champions League debut.And then Víctor Vázquez, a reserve to the reserves, came on to curl the ball into the Kazan net. Seldom do you hear Guardiola single out a player for specific praise, but he made an exception for Vázquez who, at 23, has come through harrowing knee injury to finally share the nectar of a big victory at the Camp Nou.

City Government Judge Defines Bullying in Case Involving City Schools Bullying once meant dipping a schoolgirl's braids in the desk inkwell or throwing snowballs at the new kids. But 21st century bullying can involve schoolhouse shootings, tormenting gay classmates, ruinous sex videos, devastating Internet abuse and suicides. The new extremes may be due to increasing violence among children, and, ironically, may also flow from diversity, which provides bullies with targets who look or sound different or may be gay, or have disabilities. In a federal lawsuit brought against New York City's Department of Education by the parents of LK, then a 12-year-old pupil at P.S. 6 on Manhattan’s upper east side, Judge Jack Weinstein of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York has framed a test forfor the bully either physical or psychological." LK, originally diagnosed as autistic and later as learning disabled, was enrolled in a class of children of varying abilities. The allegations, officially undocumented but confirmed by special aides assigned to her while in school, included that other children laughed at her when she tried to speak in class, tripped her in the hallways and generally shunned her to the point of refusing to touch any object she had touched. In this case, the only report the school provided described LK as the aggressor. Testifying at an administrative hearing, the school's principal could not recall what, if any, investigation she had done into complaints made by LK's parents. According to the plaintiffs -- the parents -- heir child was not protected at schools

Run Defense 14/20 Brooks can struggle to break off blocks, but he does show a willingness to come down into the box and make attempts on the ball. As a tackler in the open field, he's very good, and he can even be violent. But a good stalk block or rub from a moving blocker will throw him off his game. Speed 18/20 A natural athlete with good movement skills, Brooks has the speed to compete with backs and receivers down the field. You see the burst from his lower body in his change-of-direction skills and the way he attacks outside runs. Speed is not an issue here. Upside 16/20 Brooks is a talented, NFL-ready player. But how muchroom does he have to grow? There is obvious room for upside in terms of coverage awareness and route-recognition, but as a center fielder, he doesn't have as high of a ceiling. Brooks' current ability is very good, but his room to improve isn't as big as others. Overall 85/100 One of the top coverage safeties in the entire draft, Brooks has been overlooked due to a very talented Florida State draft class.

based on his 1987 conviction. Rivera-Aristizabal immediately appealed the order of deportation to the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"). On the same day, Nilsa Ruiz-Rivera posted a $10,000 cash immigration bond with the Chicago office of the INS to secure the release of her husband pending his appeal. After his release, Rivera-Aristizabal went to Chicago, where he remained until his deportation. 4 The delivery bond required Ruiz-Rivera to produce her husband "to an immigration officer of the United States upon each and every request by such officer...." The BIA affirmed the deportation order on June 10, 1991. The Oakdale INS office notified Ruiz-Rivera by certified letter, dated June 21, 1991, that she was required to produce her husband to the INS in Oakdale, Louisiana at9:00 a.m. on July 15, 1991 for deportation. The Oakdale INS office similarly notified Rivera-Aristizabal in a June 24, 1991 letter that he needed to report to the Oakdale INS at 9 a.m. on July 15, 1991.

The next day, the state charges were dismissed after federal agents charged Lopez with violating a federal criminal statute, the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. The act forbids "any individual knowingly to possess a firearm at a place that [he] knows...is a school zone." Lopez was found guilty following a bench trial and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and two years' supervised release. Question Is the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act, forbidding individuals from knowingly carrying a gun in a school zone, unconstitutional because it exceeds the power of Congress to legislate under the Commerce Clause?

on the election of Cardinal Hesler to the position, issuing papal bulls threatening Mauerkircher and his supporters with excommunication and interdict. Pope Sixtus IV personally consecrated Hesler as a bishop on 13 February 1480. On 1 May 1480, Hesler left Rome for the imperial court. Three canons from the Passau cathedral chapter now defected to Hesler's side. They proclaimed Hesler the rightful bishop and Hesler's investiture took place in Vienna without incident. However, Passau still refused to recognize Hesler as its ruler. It remained in a state of rebellion until the emperor pronounced the proscription over the city in 1482. Finally, in August 1482, an agreement was reached whereby Hesler would become bishop and Mauerkircher was recognized as his successor.

It then turns around and helps people in trouble as only the American military can. Picture for a second what would have been required to help the people either in Haiti or Southeast Asia with the absence of the military apparatus: Huge ships would have to have been leased from some large shipping company. Helicopters and crew would have to have been leased from experienced organizations, probably like logging companies, then personnel to distribute the assistance would have to have been hired and put in place. The logistics in my simplified version are daunting, probably impossible. Who would have distributed the goods?

Breamish Valley… Takes its name from the River Breamish which begins its life on a small hill (a ‘knowe’) known as Scotman’s Knowe, high in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland. From here the river drains northwards into the River Tweed, marking the boundary between England and Scotland. Breamish Valley has a rich historical and cultural heritage. There are numerous Neolithic and Bronze Age burial sites, hillforts and abandoned medieval villages. The valley is home to a diversity of wildlife, including buzzards, stoats, curlews and lapwings. It’s an ideal place to cycle, picnic by the river, go hill walking, stroll through the villages, visit the delightful old churches…or simply relax!

Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) is the most populated urban area in the country. In 2010, MCMA required 14.8% of total energy domestic demand, but greenhouse gas emissions accounted for 7.7% of domestic emissions. Mexico has massive renewable energy potential that could be harnessed through solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. The problem to explore is the relationship between local and federal public strategies in MCMA and their stance on energy transition concern, social empowerment, new technology appropriation, and the will to boost social development and urban sustainability. A public policy typology was conducted through instruments of State intervention approach, based on political agenda articulation and environmental local interactions. Social equality is encouraged

Satellite Communication Organization). (It would no longer have to rent American satellites at exorbitant rates.) In that regard, Gaddafi was a driving force in building pan-African institutions. The goal was his long-stated aim to reduce the influence of imperial power on Libya and the continent at large. Doing his best Hugo Chavez impersonation, he used oil wealth to lessen dependency on the exploitative International Monetary Fund and to attempt to de-dollarize the African continent. At the time of his assassination, he was busily creating an African Investment Bank that would provide interest-free development loans to other African nations. He proposed an African Central Bank to be based in Nigeria. He was working on a Cameroon-based African Monetary Fund. He was sketching a blueprint for a gold-backed African currency.He also played a role in the continental rejection of AFRICOM, the imperial headquarters Washington wanted to install to better exploit and police the continent. For Africans, these were monumental undertakings and offered the hope of independence from Western militaries, multinationals, and creditors. For the West, Gaddafi’s actions were the ultimate crime. He was essentially trying to block the IMF from furthering shackling Africa in suffocating debt that, to be sure, would provide a steady flow of interest payments back to Western banks. He also effectively proposed a de-dollarized African economic block free of both the dollar reserve currency and Western lending institutions. Heunderstood that both were tools of oppression and enslavement. He wanted to replace these extractive tools with continental development funds beneficial to Africans. For all of this

Aged 59, he lacks charisma: one party colleague described him as "a quintessential bureaucrat". Two other possibilities must first prove they can win votes: Volker Bouffier, 61, faces a tough election in Hesse on Sunday, while Julia Kloeckner, 41, must win Rhineland-Pfalz in 2016. Merkel gives no clues except to say "a successor has always been found". The eventual choice may be as improbable as she was - a Protestant woman from former East Germany leading a predominantly Catholic patriarchy from the West. Her biographer says she may yet try to match Kohl's record 16 years in office by running again in 2017. "You know Ianother 299 seats based on parties' relative strength via the second ballot.

In 2009, the CDU/CSU won 24 extra overhang seats. A new law compensates smaller parties for overhang seats, thus making it less interesting for the big parties to share support with smaller partners.

Amherst Island residents opposed to industrial wind development still believe they can stop 29 massive (50 – storey) machines from permanently scarring their pastoral skyline from end to end of this tiny (20-km long) island.

The gluteal compartment syndrome. The gluteal compartment syndrome is a rare, often unrecognized condition which, left untreated, can lead to renal failure, sepsis, and death. The etiology, physiology, and manifestations are similar to those seen in the more common and readily recognized compartment syndromes of the lower leg and forearm. The large gluteal muscle mass confined by the fascia lata of the thigh and tensor fascia lata can, under the right conditions, produce muscle necrosis, acidosis, elevations of creatinine phosphokinase, and ultimately renal failure. A gluteal compartment syndrome most commonly occurs in individuals with an altered mental status due to drugs or alcohol who remain in one position for an extended period of time. This prolonged compression leads to muscle damage, edema, and a full-blown compartment syndrome.

Protesters rally in Brooklyn on Saturday in support of former NYPD Officer Peter Liang, who was convicted of manslaughter for the shooting death of Akai Gurley. (Craig Ruttle / Associated Press) Associated Press About 10,000 protesters rallied in New York on Saturday in support of a former police officer convicted for fatally shooting an unarmed man in a darkened stairwell in a public housing building. The protest in Brooklyn over ex-Officer Peter Liang's manslaughter conviction in the 2014 shooting of Akai Gurley was one of about 30 taking place around the U.S., organizers said. About 2,000 people marched in Philadelphia, according to Philly.com, and about 150 gatheredin Ann Arbor, Mich., according to the Ann Arbor News. “No scapegoat! No scapegoat!” protesters in New York shouted as the crowd descended on Cadman Plaza, just outside the federal courthouse in Brooklyn. They carried signs declaring Liang's prosecution “selective justice.” The 28-year-old Liang, who was fired immediately after a jury convicted him earlier this month, faces up to 15 years in prison. He testified that the shooting was an accident, saying he fired his gun after being frightened by a noise. Many of his supporters say they believe Liang is being scapegoated because of anger over other police shootings in New York and across the country and that he has been treated unfairly because he is Asian American. Prosecutors argued that Liang's actions were reckless and he that shouldn't have had

complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b) (1), F.R.C.P., for lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter. *1146 Plaintiff Boone, approximately 17 years of age, asserts that he is the father of an illegitimate child, Lawrence Brown, born to one Gwendolyn Brown, age 16 on May 6, 1968. On June 5, 1968 the young mother, then in custody of the infant, voluntarily placed the child in the custody of the Commissioner of Social Services of the City of New York pursuant to written authorization executed by her, which authorized the Commissioner to place the child for foster care with any duly authorized agency as defined in the Social Services Law of the State of New York, McKinney's Consol.Laws, c. 55. The agreement was entered into by the mother voluntarily and withfull knowledge of the nature and legal consequences of the instrument. Her reason for executing it was that she was unable to provide for the well-being and maintenance of the infant, since the apartment in which she lived with her mother, 3-year old sister and 10-year old cousin, was too small to accommodate the infant. However, it was anticipated that by the beginning of 1969 the Brown family would move to a larger apartment, at which time the mother would resume custody, the agreement of commitment executed by her having retained her right to return of custody upon her being able to provide for the child's well-being. In the meantime the mother has visited the child and maintained her interest and intent to regain custody. Prior to the institution

Branch and the four other suspects fled the scene in a sport-utility vehicle, according to a police report. All five were charged with possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle. They were released after postingtrusts, as well as GP surgeries, Clinical Commissioning Groups and other NHS organisations. Who's who?

("Day[time]," the Roman Hemera). Æther and Diēs then become the parents of Cælus ("Sky," whom the Greeks called Ouranos) and Terra ("Earth," the Roman Gaia). Cælus and Terra also get married and their offspring correspond by and large to the Greek version of their story, the main group being the Titans, who will then give rise to the Olympians. One notable deviation is that Æther also consorts with his own daughter Terra, and the first of their children is Tartarus, the Underworld Abyss. on October 28, 2002. At trial, Preston Dempsey, a co-conspirator, testified that over the course of four or five months in 2001, he had purchased five to ten kilograms of “dope” from Cross, who became his supplier. Reginald Randolph, another co-conspirator, testified that he had known Cross since childhood and that he knew that Cross had never been employed. Randolph also testified that Cross was the source of cocaine brought from Detroit to Columbus from 1999 until Cross’s arrest and that Cross was Billups’s and Dempsey’s supplier. Other evidence presented at trial showed that Cross, who was unemployed at the time of his arrest, kept a large share of the drug proceeds, drove luxury cars, and wore expensive jewelry, which at the time of his arrest was worth about $25,000. Cross did not present any evidence. The

procured when Riley "was disabled and incompetent to waive any medical privilege due to being under the effects of pain medication and being in great pain." Thus, Riley contends that the Medical Authorization was procured under duress and adhesion, and he was not competent to waive his medical privilege. Later, Riley offered a personal affidavit to this effect stating he was on pain medication, and was not advised that the waiver was a waiver; instead, he was told the *714 document was necessary in order to obtain medical treatment. Riley sought actual, special, and punitive damages related to the alleged misconduct. ¶ 12. During Dr. Wiggins's deposition of June 12, 2000, he recanted his latest opinion on Riley's back injury and reverted to his original opinion that the fallaggravated Riley's back injury. Dr. Wiggins specifically stated that he was changing his opinion from his December 8, 1999, statement that Riley's back problem was preexisting and was in no way related to his industrial injury. Dr. Wiggins testified; "it's now my opinion that his preexisting spondylolisthesis was aggravated as a result of the accident in question." (Emphasis added.) He explained that the reason he changed his mind was because in December 1999, he probably had not made himself aware of everything in Riley's record. Dr. Wiggins stated that since Riley had continued to complain of pain in the back after his ankle injury, it was "reasonable to conclude that his underlying spondylolisthesis was aggravated by the fall, and if not the fall, certainly [it was] aggravated by

much-needed space to express themselves. Kai, who is also Samandal's publication director, wrote in the issue's editorial that "comics are no longer just a form of expression. They can also have a political role, or even in extreme cases, they can be a tool to shape history and the map of the world." READ MORE: The rise of the comic book in the Middle East Created in 2007, Samandal ("salamander" in Arabic) has tried to bridge words and aesthetics. "In the first editorial, the cofounder, Fadi Baki, explains that Samandal is an amphibian, living between the sea and the earth, in the same way that comic books are an art form that is between words and images. We want our comic to combine experimental and traditional aspects, both high cultureand popular culture," said Lena Merhej, another cofounder of the comic. In December 2009, the comic's seventh edition was financed by Lebanon's Ministry of Culture as part of the Beirut World Capital of Books campaign. But this issue nearly killed the publication: Three of its editors were accused by the state prosecutor of inciting religious hatred, blasphemy, publishing false information and defamation. The censorship office within Lebanese General Security particularly found fault with Ecce Homo by Valfret, an artist who goes by a single name, and Recipes for Lebanese Revenge by Merhej. In the first story, a centurion kills a legionary with whom he had homosexual relations, and then puts the blame on Christians. In the second, Merhej illustrates the burning of a priest and an imam.

films between the 1930s and the 1950s and once described herself as a "designer of kinetic abstractions" who sought to "bring to the eyes a combination of visual forms unfolding with the ... rhythmic cadences of music." Bute's work influenced many other filmmakers working with abstract animation during the '30s and '40s, and with experimental electronic imagery in the '50s. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) Elia Kazan's first feature film, based on the novel by Betty Smith, focuses on a theme that he returned to many times during his career: the struggle of a weak or ill-prepared individual to survive against powerful forces. A timely film, Brooklyn was released at the end of World War II, helping to remind post-war audiences of the enduring importance of the American dream. ATrip Down Market Street (1906) This 13-minute "actuality" film was recorded by placing a movie camera on the front of a cable car as is proceeds down San Francisco's Market Street. A fascinating time capsule, the film showcases the details of daily life in a major American city, including the fashions, transportation and architecture of the era. It was originally thought to have been filmed in 1905, but historian David Kiehn, who examined contemporary newspapers, weather reports and car license plates recorded in the film, later suggested that A Trip Down Market Street was likely filmed just a few days before the devastating earthquake of April 18, 1906.

the search effort was merely precautionary, whereas the Americans fully anticipated the Japanese to be there and were therefore committed to finding them as quickly as possible. The weather in the early morning was quite bad as well, as indicated by the Chickuma's No. 5 search plane almost flying right over one of the American task forces at 06.30 and not seeing a thing due to heavy low-level cloud. Next, the late launch of Tone's No. 4 search plane was actually the main contributing factor in it discovering the American task force in the first place as the pilot shortened his route to make up for the lost time (starting back on his return leg some sixty-five miles sooner than he should have done thus saving himself 130force for almost an hour and a half at considerable risk to themselves. So what were the mistakes that cost the Japanese the battle? There were two high-level command mistakes - that of communications and rearming the torpedo bombers. The information that Nagumo had when he sailed was that the Americans were still unaware of the Midway operation and that their carriers would probably still be located in Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, no further information made its way into Nagumo's hands. He never found out that the Yamato had intercepted a transmission from an American submarine in the vicinity of the invasion force; neither did he learn that there had been a massive increase in the radio traffic from Hawaii marked urgent (also monitored by Yamato) or that Operation K (the

Otte said no, and after eight dates, she broke things off with Ravenel when he allegedly became scary. But now, after months of alleged online harassment and cyberbullying by Ravenel, Jacobs, and a PR firm hired by the two, Otte has hired the high-profile law firm of L. Lin Wood to sort out this mess, have it cease, and likely seek damages. #bravo #SouthernCharm #ashleyjacobs SHAME ON BRAVO and Southern Charm producers!

Bravo and Haymaker are trying to HIDE this truth, this showa thousand-year slumber – and he suggests that maybe Thomas allowed Ashley to get close, maybe too close, and she may one day testify against Thomas in court.” Adding fuel to this fire is the fact that Jacobs seems to have disappeared from Thomas Ravenel’s Instagram page.

Her recent statements allege that their relationship is better ever since the Charleston Police started investigating allegations of rape against Ravenel, but he has not mentioned Jacobs in social media posts in over a month.

It’s the third time in the last six weeks that Osgood has been released by San Francisco, but it may not be long before he returns to the team. TUESDAY, 6:23pm: The 49ers have signed safety Bubba Ventrone, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post (via Twitter). Ventrone was cut by San Francisco on August 30th as a part of their downsizing to a 53-man roster. The Villanova product appeared in 16 games for the 49ers last season, primarily on special teams. Across seven NFL seasons, Ventrone has 61 career tackles, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. At 5’10” and 200 pounds, Ventrone isn’t the biggest guy on the field, but he has been widely praised for his toughness and work ethic. The 49ers’ punt-coverage team isnetwork of nonprofits funded by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. Trump had earlier left the impression he would be cleaning house at the department to implement a free-market approach favored by the Koch organizations that could shift a considerable amount of the care provided by VA facilities over to the private sector. Shulkin has been an outspoken critic of such an approach, making him a favorite target of the Koch-funded nonprofit Concerned Veterans for America. In a blog post in April, the group characterized Shulkin's performance taking questions from a congressional committee as a "show of incompetence" and reflective of "what's wrong with the VA." But Trump, who embraced much of the Koch-backed organization's reform plan during the campaign, passed over contenders for the VA post who favored the
