good, and too
polished, it isn’t considered the real thing.”
March 01, 2008
The most popular black American entertainment of the
1890s—among both blacks and whites—was most likely a theatrical extravaganza
entitled Darkest America. As one
black newspaper described it, Darkest
America’s “delineation of Negro life, carrying the race through all their
historical phases from the plantation, into the reconstruction days and finally
painting our people as they are today, cultured and accomplished in social
graces, holds the mirror faithfully up to nature.” In other words, according to
this black newspaper, Darkest America was
an authentic portrait of black
America.
Yet Darkest America was
a minstrel show. The performers, even though they were black, wore blackface. A
photograph of an 1898 performance shows two of them playing banjos, with
xylophones by their sides. One has big white circles painted around his mouth
and eyes and grinsfirst white minstrel
show by 22 years, and the reason for the delay was likely the fact of slavery.
The black minstrel shows soon came to eclipse white minstrel shows in
popularity. Perhaps the most elaborate was Black
America, an 1895 theatrical extravaganza that took place in Brooklyn. This
show featured a “Negro Village” with real log cabins, haywagons, mules,
chickens, and 500 blacks, “genuinely southern negroes” brought “direct from the
fields.” Of course, as did many white minstrel entertainers, the show
advertised its authenticity—this was real blackness on display. The players
were not advertised as “entertainers,” but as “participants.”
While this was the culmination of the black minstrel show—the ultimate
proof of plantation life on display for white Northerners and homesick blacks
uprooted from the South—these shows continued to tour the South, playing for
both white and black audiences, for | {

kinds. During the labor upsurge of the 1930s and the social struggles of the 1960s and '70s, Democrats--whether at the national or local levels--were often on the wrong side.
Many of those who advocate a down-ballot strategy recognize the importance of protest and resistance--though it must be said that in Vermont, Bernie Sanders has a reputation among activists for staying removed from grassroots struggles.
Their calls to transform the Democratic Party from inside often include a reference to some sort of inside-outside strategy. But the focus on winning elections and operating inside the party leads them toward an entirely inside strategy.

"Not good enough, but you'll be allowed to do that, too," he said
with a smile.
"Ok, I'll flash someone on the beach," I said exasperated.
"Two people, a man and a woman," he countered.
"Oh, come on," I pleaded, "one is bad enough."
"Your ass is going to get very tan today," he said, looking out the

"Alright, two people," I said, resigned.
"You're learning not to argue so much," he said with a smile. I
gave him a sideways glance and a slight smile, pulled my suit down,
and opened the door.
We both stepped out of the sexual heat that had been building in

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The NHL fined the San Jose Sharks $100,000 on Saturday for general manager Doug Wilson's comments criticizing the league for forward Raffi Torres' suspension for the rest of the second round of the playoffs.
The NHL said the fine was issued for violating a rule put in place earlier this year prohibiting formal team statements to the media during the 48-hour period following a disciplinary decision. The rule calls for an automatic $25,000 fine, and the Sharks were docked an additional $75,000 under an article in the league's constitution because of the "inappropriate nature of the comments."

conscience of our time."
Of course, Catholic clergymen aren't the only people who
excommunicate the dissenters within their ranks, but they are the only
ones who get negative media attention.
Openly sodomite Congressman Barney Frank (D.-olt) was formally
excommunicated according to Jewish law (Halacha) by Beth Din
Zedek (the High Rabbinical Ecclesiastical Court) on June 27, 1990. The
presiding Rabbi, Joseph Friedman, stated that the excommunication was
for "Desecrating the name of God and the Jewish people, for
bringing dishonor and disgrace upon the high office of Congressman, and
for promoting and encouraging the moral corruption of society. A
prominent Jewish public official, to our deep embarrassment, Frank has
been a blatant promoter of moral depravity."[11]
Although this eminently justifiable writ of excommunication was
extraordinarilyto directly sterilize, then that act is
intrinsically evil and is always a mortal sin.[12]
Statement of Intent and Principle.
Pope Pius XII summarized the intent of the double effect when he
addressed the Family Front Congress on November 27, 1951; "Both for
the one and the other, the demand cannot be but this: To use every means
to save the life of both the mother and the child."[13]
Pius also stated the general principle of the "double
effect" on October 29, 1951, at his address to the Italian Union of
Midwives. This speech is codified in the Pope's Acta Apostilicae
Sedis, 43(1951), page 855.

especially when I finally got it off my chest as I had at the Executive
Committee meeting of the Republicans, that this party was not the
Radical Republican Party of Lincoln and that one of the chief reasons
that far too many Blacks did not join our Party was because of the
continued reference that it was. I have to believe that many Southern
Whites feel the same way, but probably for different reasons. Many
of them can remember the tyranny committed against their ancestors

in East London. It was Jack the Ripper’s final murder. Bizarrely, her name was Mary Kelly, the same name Eddowes had given to police shortly before she was murdered.
In the late 1800’s Henry Ziegland of Honey Grove, Texas ended his relationship with his girlfriend. She was so distraught by the incident that she committed suicide shortly after. Her brother, seeking revenge went to Ziegland’s property and shot him. The bullet grazed Ziegland’s face and lodged in a nearby tree. It had struck him with enough force however, to knock him to the ground. Believing that Ziegland was dead, the brother then turned the gun on himself.
20 years later, Ziegland was clearing his land and needed to cut down the tree. It proved difficult so he decided to makethe job easier by using a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion dislodged the bullet from the tree and it hit Ziegland right in the head, killing him on the spot!
In an eerie coincidence, the novel foretold the tragic tale of the Titanic, 14 years before it actually occurred.

Paolo Maldini was an ultimate one man club. He spent all his two and a half decade of football career in Serie A with Milan. Widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders of all time, Maldini won 23 trophiesfor Milan including UEFA Champions League, Serie A, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, European Supercups and Intercontinental Cups.
Although Maldini played most of the time being a left back but naturally he was a right footed, but began playing right back for Milan. This was made possible because of his tactical versatility and ability with both feet, which made him play at any position in back line. Maldini was renowned cause of his stamina, sliding ability, athletcism and fast energetic forward run as a left back. He was also an excellent crosser, setting attacking threat, scoring and assisting several goals throughout his career.
Maldini finished as the runner-up for FIFA player of the year in 1995 and also won the best defender trophy at the UEFA Club Football awards in 2007. | {

The three models involved (Hadley, CSIRO, and MIROC) are used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific intergovernmental body established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environment Programme.
Many buildings and infrastructure in the Rogue basin are in floodplains, while many rural populations reside year-round in narrow and steeply sloped canyons. Storms and other climate stresses, the report concludes, could threaten millions of dollars in direct costs and five to 10 times that in indirect costs.

With the terrible events that unfolded over the holiday weekend still reverberating across the country, it is timely that the Christian Research group LifeWay would release the findings of a survey they conducted concerning abortion and the demographics of abortion when it comes to religion. The study was co-sponsored by Care Net, a pregnancy center support organization. Some of their findings:
70 percent of the women they surveyed identified as Christians.
23 percent of Christian women who have had an abortion consider themselves evangelical Christians.
Over one third of the women surveyed attend a church once a week or more.
Over half of the women who attend church regularly have kept their terminated pregnancy secret from their church community.

Liturgically speaking, there is little to separate that kind of performance from Spinal Tap. No, the music at Mass has to be at the service of the sacred text, and also of the sacred action. This is why the Church had a serious reservation against the use of polyphony at Mass—the text is obscured by this type of music, the artistic bona fides of which are beyond question.
The other consideration in this excerpt is the content of the Word that the music is to support. It is meant to be reflective of the great dialogue of love of God and man, the love coming down from heaven, the supplication coming | {

The Mary Rose was typical of the larger sailing ships of the fleet with high castles at bow and stern. She was one of the first ships to carry heavy guns firing out of gun ports in the side of the hull.
There were also oared vessels of various sizes which used their better mobility to bring their guns to bear, usually firing forward. During the reign of Henry VIIIthese vessels were developed into fast, handy sailing ships that became known as galleons; combining the well armed prow of a galley with the seaworthiness of a sailing ship, they were the major fighting ship at the time of the Spanish Armada.
Early in the Seventeenth Century, larger galleons were built with heavier armaments. The obvious place to put more guns was along the side of the ship, the broadside, and this encouraged new naval tactics. The line of battle was born. Easily the largest English ship was Sovereign of the Seas built for prestige purposes by Charles I in 1637. The first ship with three gun decks to carry her 102 guns, she was the most powerful ship in the world for many years.

These European powers included a number of
nations, like Portugal, for instance, Spain,
there was Netherlands, but postcolonial studies
has actually remained mostly focused on British
and French colonialism which started slightly
after the beginning of Spanish colonialism,
for instance, or Portuguese colonialism and
which reached its peak around the 19th and
early 20th century. And during this period
of time, the metropolis of Britain and France
was connected to vast stretches of Africa
and Asia, which served as their colonial periphery.
Now, one of the basic characteristic features
of this modern colonialism with which postcolonial
theory concerns itself is capitalism. And
to understand this crucial link between capitalism
and colonialism, let us begin by briefly looking
at how capitalism functions. Capitalism is
perhaps most simply defined as the process
of investing money or capital to make more
money, in the form of profit, and the West
had beenmoving from the feudal mode of economy
to this new capitalist mode of economy from
around the 14th and 15th century onwards when
mercantilism, long distance trade started
flourishing.
However, the phase of capitalism that is most
integrally associated with the kind of colonialism
that we are focusing on is the industrial
phase of capitalism really and this phase
started to gain momentum from say the late
18th and early 19th century, when the effects
of the industrial revolution gradually started
setting in.
And this industrial revolution which had it's
origin in England, allowed the Western countries
to produce far in excess of their consumption.
Which means that the mechanization of the
production process led to a huge accumulation
of surplus products which during the 19th
and early 20th century became a source of
great wealth for Western European countries
like Britain, for instance, or France; but

of Titan passed its spring equinox, when it begins tilting toward the sun, and climate models predicted that the increased light would kick up winds as the moon approaches summer in 2017.
That appears to be happening. In a handful of flybys of Titan in the past 6 months, Cassini scientists have seen signs of waves on three different seas: Kraken Mare, Ligeia Mare, and Punga Mare. Some of the evidence is based on radar reflections, which detect roughness at the sea surface. Particularly intriguing has been a feature on Ligeia Mare dubbed the Magic Island because it appeared, disappeared, and reappeared over the past 2 years. Jason Hofgartner, a planetary science graduate student at Cornell University, says that a likely explanation is transient episodes of waves. “It isas much as 200 meters deep, reported Marco Mastrogiuseppe of Sapienza University of Rome. The fact that the radar signals could bounce off the sea bottom suggests that the seas were more transparent than expected and thus must contain mostly methane, not ethane. Hayes says his best estimate is about 90% methane. Essam Marouf, a planetary scientist at San José State University in California, reported on the first results from a separate radar experiment that sent radar reflections to Earth instead of back to the spacecraft. Those tests provide independent evidence that the seas are dominated by methane, Marouf says, and it implies that the lakes are kept filled by precipitating methane.

and her gentleness had spread their influence over his heart, as spring,
with its wooing breath, awakens the dreaming earth from its winter
sleep. It was not the season when nature calls forth the soul to love;
for the cushat was silent in the woods, the mavis voiceless on the
thorn, the birds were dumb on every spray, the wild-flowers had closed
their leaves and drooped, and the meadows lost their fragrance. But, as
they wandered forth together, a lark started up at their feet; it raised
its autumn song over their heads; it poured it in their ears. Both
raised their eyes in joy towards the singing bird; they listened to it

portion of the burdens of commerce upon his younger partner, left the

What should the courts do about confusing statutes?
That was the question yesterday before the Supreme Court, which was looking at the Armed Career Criminal Statute. From the Washington Post:
Johnson was subject to an enhanced sentence because he had previous convictions. But he said that one of them — mere possession of a sawed-off shotgun — should not qualify as violent.
The Supreme Court originally took the case to decide that question. But months after the firstFlorida blog was started by David Oscar Markus, who is a criminal trial and appellate lawyer in Miami, Florida. He frequently practices in federal courts around the country, including his hometown, the Southern District of Florida and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Schools throughout area plan moratorium
According to the Student Mob-ilization
Committee, as the No-vember
13 Moratorium nears,
prospects for the strike are look-ing
better and better.
In the Twin Cities SMC chap-ters
have organized or are in the
process of being organized in over
thirty high schools, four junior
highs, four colleges and a junior
college. Other colleges through-out
the state are planning actions
in connection with the November
13 and 14 Moratorium and will
send contingents to Minneapolis to
participate in the strike rally and
march.
Most chapters in the Twin Cities
are planning local activities in
the form of assemblies, walk-outs
or picketing from 8 a.m. to 11
a.m.
Between 11 and 12 students will
converge onthe University of
Minnesota mall to the sounds of
rock music and guerilla theater.
Speakers at the rally which be-gins
at noon will include people
from SMC, the Twin City Draft
Information Center, and an active
duty GI. At 1 p.m. participants
will march down University Av-enue
to the New Federal Build-ing
and encircle the building with
a massive symbolic picket line.
In the evening the New Mobil-ization
Committee is sponsoring a
sendoff rally in the Minneapolis
Armory. Buses headed for Wash-ington
will leave at that time and
early Friday morning.
SMC, which is a member of the
New Mobilization Committee seems
to be receiving significant sup-port
in its attempt to mobilize
students for the moratorium. The
Mac Community College of Mac-alester

the strike and is buying

Wow. I haven't seen a photo of Burger Chef in many years. I remember it well because of the countless times I circled it with my friends -- and also because as a junior I briefly dated the owners' daughter. Jan Phillips and I, by the way, were both members of the Class of '71.
Man! That was a while ago.

Maybe the most notorious of the bunch, Parker is a silky-smooth 6-foot-8 wing from Simeon High School who has drawn comparisons to Paul Pierce and Grant Hill. Last summer he played a starring role for Team USA .
Ranked second overall in the class of 2013, Parker is being pursued by all the previously mentioned schools as well as others like Kansas, Washington, Texas A&M, Cincinnati, Villanova, North Carolina, Louisville and more. He can see a big difference between minicamp and a summer All-American camp where there isn't anything but reputation on the line.
"Here you are trying to make a team and get to represent your country," said the five-star junior. "At an All-American camp you don't have to worry about that so that'sthe top players in the country is good," said Nunn. "I feel like I want to compete. The first time I came here I was kind of nervous and then I started to blow up a bit and now I'm more comfortable out here."
Looking even further down the road, Okafor is excited to compete for Gold again in 2012 and can't help but see how his game has benefitted from his participation in USA Basketball.
"It's amazing, you have so much on you," finished Okafor. "With high school and AAU it's important, but here you have the whole country depending on you and riding on your back. It's changed my whole game and my whole confidence." | {

I'm worried that you only care about sex..just like I did." Laura frowned. Suddenly, she pulled Eda's leafy panties aside and pushed two of fingers deep into her pussy, as if she owned it. Her eyes locked onto Eda's emerald hues. "Feel good right?" she frowned while her fingers pushed and probed the elf's tight pussy. "If you truly belonged to Yui..." Laura stated, but paused and leaned forward so her lips captured Eda's right ear. The human's soft lips locked around the elf's earlobe and sucked on it. "I wouldn't have my fingers knuckle deep inside you..now wouldI?"
Lilith didn't return. Instead, there were a few moments of silence until some of her servants came down to retrieve the bucket. Moments later, a few servants came down with freshly made bread and elvern salad- perhaps some of the finest cuisine in the city. The servants began to try to feed the captured neko, often apologizing for her tied up state. Their goal was to get Yui to become comfortable, and to believe that she was not captured by this Samuel-individual. Upon closer examination, most of the servants were different races. None were elves. Once Yui's needs were properly attended for, Lilith reappeared downstairs. She had a dismayed look on her face. "You look troubled."

The Yangtze as a Core
The
Yangtze River is the key geographic, ecological, cultural and economic
feature of China. Stretching 6,418 kilometers from its source in the
Tibetan Plateau to its terminus in the East China Sea, the river both
divides and connects the country. To its north lie the wheat fields and
coal mines of the North China Plain and Loess Plateau, unified China's
traditional political cores. Along itsbanks and to the south are the
riverine wetlands and terraced mountain faces that historically supplied
China with rice, tea, cotton and timber. The river passes through the
highlands of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the fertile Sichuan Basin, the
lakes and marshes of the Middle Yangtze and on to the trade hubs of the
Yangtze River Delta. Its watershed touches 19 provinces and is central
to the economic life of more people than the populations of Russia and
the United States combined. The river's dozens of tributaries reach from
Xian, in the southern Shaanxi province, to northern Guangdong -- a
complex of capillaries without which China likely would never have
coalesced into a single political entity.

Lama Thubten Yeshe was born in Tibet in 1935 not far from
Lhasa in the town of Tölung Dechen. Two hours away by horse was the
Chi-me Lung Gompa, home for about 100 nuns of the Gelug tradition.
It had been a few years since their learned abbess and guru had
passed away when Nenung Pawo Rinpoche, a Kagyü lama widelyfamed for
his psychic powers, came by their convent. They approached him and
asked, "Where is our guru now?" He answered that in a nearby village
there was a boy born at such and such a time, and if they
investigated they would discover that he was their incarnated abbess.
Following his advice they found the young Lama Yeshe to whom they
brought many offerings and gave the name Thondrub Dorje.
Afterwards the nuns would often take the young boy back to their
convent to attend the various ceremonies and other religious
functions held there. During these visits—which would sometimes last
for days at a time—he often stayed in their shrine room and attended
services with them. The nuns would also frequently visit him at his
parents' home where he was taught the alphabet, grammar and reading

and the final objective was reached by 10.25, but there were still enemy troops in the woods to be mopped up. An early casualty was the regimental commanding officer, hit in the back while climbing into his tank. At 14.50 the Germans counter-attacked with a mixed force, and the British claimed to have destroyed a Tiger tank. In a second counter-attack later in the afternoon the Germans lost another Tiger and three Panther tanks. The regimental war diary refers to 'a slogging match' throughout the rest of the day. Casualties included the commander of 'A' Squadron and four of his crews who crossed a ridge to deal with machine-guns on the flank. Their burnt-out tanks were discovered weeks later near Évrecy.

argument that because
they came to Australia on Greek passports they were therefore Greeks, many
people from Florina who identify themselves as Macedonians simply say "No.
We're Macedonians with Greek passports." More argumentative Macedonians
often reply 'You say that we're Greeks because we were born under Greek
rule. Does that mean that your grandfather was Turkish because he was born
under Turkish rule?"
The relevance of Schneider's analysis of the symbols
of blood and law to the present discussion of the construction of national
identity among local Macedonian immigrants from Florina is clear from the
analogies often drawn between trying to determine what a persons "real"
national identity is and who a person's "real" mother is. At a village
picnic in Mebourne Sam, a man from a village near Florina who identifies
himself as a Greek, said "My blood is Macedonian.My real mother is Macedonian.
But my adoptive mother is Greece. And you can't spit in the face of your
adoptive mother." Faced with a clear choice, metaphorically speaking, between
a relative to whom he was related by blood and one to whom he was related
by law, Sam chose to place greater emphasis on the legal relationship and
to remain loyal to his adoptive mother. In this way he explained the fact
that he had a Greek national identity.
Ted, who was also from a village near Florina, but
who identifies himself as a Macedonian and not a Greek, used the same metaphor,
the metaphor of adoption, to explain how as an adult he had realized that
he was actually a Macedonian, even though he had lived all his life as
a Greek. "I felt like an adopted | {

Peter Fechter is the
most horrid and the worst
demonstration of the
East German inhumanity.
Because he was fleeing
with his friends,
and they already crossed
the strip that then became
named Death Strip.
And they were
climbing the last wall
when the police opened fire.
Both were hit.
His friend crossed the border.
He fell back into the
eastern-controlled section,
and laid there for an hour, and
screamed, and bled, and died.
And nobody did anything.
On the Western side,
there was reporters.
There were hundreds of people.
There was even US military
with direct orders
not to interfere, because it
was East German territory.
And on the east side, the
East German border control
did nothing, because they
were afraid of the Westerners
interfering.
So they stood there
and waited for an hour
before they carried
his body away.
And this is the moment when
the hopes of a fast resolution
of that problem-- of an easy
way back to a unified Germany--
died, withPeter Fechter.
And the Wall grew.
The Wall became a reality.
For the Westerners, it became
a macabre tourist attraction,
with platforms where
they could look over.
And for the Eastern, it
became the end of the world.
A fortification even the
Romans would have dreamed on.
And we will go into
how thoroughly they
built this fortification
in a moment.
What you have to imagine is
that it is a 3.5 million city.
It is after the war.
Apartments are scarce.
Buildings are still destroyed.
People are living in
very cramped places.
And what East Germany did-- it
cleared a strip of-- between
on the narrowest point,
it's about 90 feet
on the widest point.
It was half a mile, where
they cleared everything.
Blew up churches.
Blew up houses.
Blew up whatever was standing
there to get them free
roam of shooting.
The actual border was a line on
the Western side of the Wall.

in the townships of
Zimbabwe, no doubt.
JOHANNESBURG - South Africa-based
Zimbabwean businessman Mutumwa Mawere is fighting in British courts to
recover his companies seized last year by President Robert Mugabe's
government.
Mawere is challenging before the British High Court a
law that allows the Zimbabwean government to expropriate companies that owe
money to the state without the consent of shareholders.
Mawere
last September lost control of SMM Holdings, a multi-billion dollar asbestos
producer in Zimbabwe, after the government seized it after accusing Mawere
of failing to remit huge amounts of foreign currency to the
state.
He is arguing that the government seizure of SMM
Holdings and African Associated Mines was illegal and wants the court to
deregister a Zimbabwe government-appointed businessman, Arafas Gwaradzimba,
as a director of a UK-based company that owns a major stake in his
Zimbabwean companies.
He is challenging the Reconstruction of
State-indebted Insolventopportunities for economic revival in
Zimbabwe.In an age of the free market and open economy, Zimbabwe is
regressing by adopting frightening characteristics of the discredited closed
economy. In this article, we assess the basis of this landmark change and
the effect it is likely to have on the economic fortunes of the country.
Clause 16B of the Constitutional Amendment (No. 17) Bill is one that any
self-respecting parliament should never permit if the legislative body
privileges the economic interests of the country. It is an assault not only
on fundamental freedoms but also on the economy of the country. Contrary to
the beliefs of its proponents, the nationalisation of land is based on a
fallacious understanding of the nature of African society and is quite
simply, poor economic policy.

and the liberty of
believers. For though it is true that we are all equally priests,
yet cannot we, nor ought we if we could, all to minister and teach
publicly."
The second part shows that everything that a Christian man does must come
from his faith. It may be necessary to use all the ceremonies of divine
service which past generations have found useful to promote the religious
life; perhaps to fast and practise mortifications of the flesh; but if

These regions may be stripes or zones. Each region is successively examined to extract from the digitized version of the check information from that region. The information extracted from a region is encrypted and transmitted to a bank. Upon acknowledgment from the bank, at least some of the regions of the plurality of regions are voided.

Abu Ishaq relates that when the companions of Abdullah (bin Masood) radiallahu anhu would descend for sujûd their knees would fall to the ground before their hands.[157]
Mahdi bin Maimoon says, 'I saw Ibn Seereen place his knees before his hands.'[158]
Mugheerah says, 'I asked Ibraheem (al Nakhai) about a man who places his hands before his knees when falling down into sujûd. He replied, "Only a fool or mad man would do it."'[159]
Imam Tirmidhi says after narrating the above hadeeth of Sayyiduna Wail bin Hujr radiallahu anhu, 'This is the practice of most of the people of learning. They are of the view that a man should place his knees before his hands, and when risinghis palms."'[162]
Sayyiduna Wail bin Hujr radiallahu anhu reports that when Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would prostrate he would do so between his palms.[163]
There are other ahadeeth which suggest that a person should place his hands close to his shoulders in sujûd. Muhaddith Yusuf Binnouri explains in his commentary of Tirmidhi that the different narrations of the place of the hands in sujûd are similar to those relating to the raising of the hands in the beginning of salâh. They can be reconciled in the same manner and collectively taken to mean that in sujûd the hands should be placed in such a way that the wrists are close to the shoulders, the fingertips are near the top of the ears and face is in between the palms.

The first sign of developing multiple sclerosis is a clinically isolated syndrome that resembles a multiple sclerosis relapse. The objective was to review the clinical trials of two medicines in clinically isolated syndromes (interferon beta and glatiramer acetate) to determine whether they prevent progression to definite multiple sclerosis. In the BENEFIT trial, after 2 years, 45% of subjects in the placebo group developed clinically definite multiple sclerosis; the rate was lower in the interferon beta-1b group. All subjects were then offered interferon beta-1b, and the original interferon beta-1b group became the early-treatment group and the placebo group became the delayed-treatment group.

She landed on cool, silky sheets. Her hands ran up his shirt, fisting the lapels of his coat, and pulling him down to her. He followed her directive with a soft chuckle, sliding a knee between her legs and covering her body with his. The position locked her in place, keeping her from holding his hardness between her. She needed the pressure of his body against her. Closer, she thought. She needed him closer. She had an awful feeling he was going to slip away.
He teased her lips with soft touches of his mouth, brushing lightly against her lips and then pulling away. Chloe ached for the fullness of his kiss, and shecouldn’t help the soft whine of disappointment that escaped her. Lucifer smiled in satisfaction and rewarded her with a lush kiss, driving inside the silken warmth of her mouth and stroking her tongue with his. Her response was immediate and fierce, their kiss rapidly becoming an erotic dance for dominance.
She needed more. Chloe released the front of his jacket and swept her hands along his arms again, now pushing the material off his shoulders. At her insistence, Lucifer shrugged from the jacket and let the costly material drop to the floor in a heap, forgotten. His lips left hers again, trailing down her neck to playfully nip her collarbone. She gasped in surprise, the brief sting bringing a new wave of heat. His hand swept up her leg, | {

At length, his repeated denunciations of the too notorious scandals
of the Court and the Church excited the bitter enmity of his
brother-prelates, and, by their intrigues at the Imperial Court of
Constantinople, he was deposed from his See and exiled to the wildest
parts of the Euxine coasts, where, exposed to every sort of privation,
he caught a violent fever and died. So far did the hostility of the
Episcopacy extend, that one of his rivals, a bishop, named Theophilus,

Cynthia doesn't like her new nightmare (she thinks that it is all just HER
dream - "This is MY dream") and she wants to get out of it as quickly as she
can, but feels uneasy staying alone, so she sticks to Henry, promising to do
him a "special favor" (notice that the moment when she puts her hand against
Henry's cheek is a replay of the similar scene with Walter 16 years ago). We
all know what kind of "favor" she's talking about. Also note the necklace
she's wearing - appartenly, she's not poor.
Soon, she starts feeling nausea again, runs into the women's toilet, leaving
Henry to face the Sniffer Dogs and then vanishes without a trace.

h) Why does Cynthia disappear?
As we can see, Cynthia sometimes vanishes from Walter's world. This is because
ofthe instability of her consciousness - her mind is jumping between reality
and Walter's subconscious world. Maybe, after throwing up, she felt better and
she returned to the real world for a short time.

it becomes obvious that she is being pursued by Walter Sullivan.

of January 1980. Following the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan, and the Iranian revolution – two momentous events that occurred in
1979 – and fearing Soviet encroachment into the waters of the Gulf, president
Jimmy Carter, and a Democrat to boot, proclaimed in his State of the Union
speech what became known as the Carter Doctrine which was directed against the
Soviet Union: ‘An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian
Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United
States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary,
including military force’. That doctrine led to the formation of the so-called
Rapid Deployment Force for military contingencies in the Gulf region, the
military antecedent of Central Command. In those ‘good old days’, most of

President threatened to attack Syria, and then reneged; he repeatedly promised
to equip and train the Syrian opposition, but he was not serious and kept
dragging his feet and providing limited, tentative support until the beginning
of the fifth year of the conflict. The official noted dryly that the Obama
administration negotiated secretly with Iran regarding the nuclear program and
kept its allies in the dark.

after the first showers. The ground would cake in the dry
time to follow. But it was rain and again more rain that followed.
The farmers, after short space of sun in the late afternoon, went to
bed certain that another day would let them on the land, which sorely
needed cultivating among the matted weeds of the corn and rank
tobacco; the wheat must be cut, rain or no rain, since it would
certainly be lost if it were left.
And through the night of their heavy slumbers the rain would fall,
softly at first upon the low roofs, then steadily half the night, in
the serene and fragrant dark, with little breezes, and the earth
would drink surely to satiety. In the morning the soil would appear
as it had the morning previous, but it would taketwo more days to
dry, if another shower did not follow. . . Meanwhile the crops were
being smothered with weeds, the grain was beaten to the ground, in
some cases left until overripe and then lodged and shelled by
storm.
Something in this rhythmic replenishing of the fecund and steaming
earth calmed Richard Milne without quite pleasing him, as he walked
about the black ground of the hollows, the lighter gravel land of the
tobacco ridges. Along the river there were many gullies and ditches
overgrown, in which the rank vegetation smothered the raw outlines of
the ground. In a swamp a forest, a pond of nettles higher than a
man's head waved acridly, wavered and bowed like long trees,
fern-like, in the light breeze, some recoiling more quickly than
others, jostling and bowing back and forth to each other. | {

In early 1994, while Eric was enrolled in the St. Paul
public schools in third grade, an assessment team classified him as “E/BD,” eligible for
special education services because of an emotional/behavioral disorder. However, the
team did not classify him as eligible for services because of a speech or language
disorder, or as other health impaired (“OHI”). The School District formulated an
Individual Education Plan (“IEP”) based upon the E/BD classification and, with
Warner’s approval, transferred Eric to a public school offering a specialized E/BD
classroom. Eric’s behavior and self-control improved that spring.
For the 1994-95 school year, Warner and the School District agreed to place Eric

Everybody laughs at her."
"I don't think so," said Tressady, quietly. "I have seen her to-night in
a curious and touching scene--in a meeting of very poor people. She tried
to make a speech, by the way, and spoke badly. She did not carry the

was struck with a stone, and I got a hansom for her, and drove her home

from the defendant. Granello testified that, at that time,
he was focused on the defendant and that he did not
know whether the other individual on the bridge fired
at him. He testified that after he took cover, he ‘‘lost
all sight’’ for a couple of seconds while he heard the
sound of gunfire. Granello testified that, after he took
cover, he managed once again to observe the defendant,
who was still standing in the same position. Granello
then returned fire, discharging between five to seven
gunshots. Granello testified that the exchange of gunfire
lasted for less than one minute and that, within fifteen
seconds after the last shot was fired, he approached
the individuals who were then lying face down on the
sidewalk. When asked to describe the shooting event,
Granello ‘‘A. No.’’
Thereafter, Granello testified that he was taken to a
hospital from the shooting scene, at which time he was
suffering from stress and anxiety. He testified that he
felt like his heart was racing, he felt light-headed and he
felt slightly dizzy. He testified that he did not experience
confusion following the shooting and that at no time
following the shooting did he experience any memory
loss concerning the events that occurred at the scene
of the shooting. Granello testified that he had not been
involved in a shooting incident prior to the events of

To act out his dreams, DeFreeze needed assistance. His tragic
figure can best be summarized when, on the last day of his life,
he was draping his body in ammunition belts, while at the same
time unsuccessfully trying to recruit an 18-year-old neighbor
on 54th Street and Compton Avenue to join his "revolution."
The street was choked with Los Angeles police agents, and DeFreeze
was an escaped convict, wanted for murder, kidnapping, bank robbery
and assault. He never managed to persuade a single black person
to join the SLA. The only support given to the SLA by blacks
was given by police agents, informers and collaborators, who
conspired to lure him into his death trap.
The man was mechanized and robotized by the CIA and other
agencies. He is a pathetic example of the wayfrom the Defense Department's Advanced Research
Projects Agency (ARPA). The aim was to provide methods of anticipating
various social groups and personality characteristics that might
emerge in response to given specific military actions. Polilica
became a reality when Salvadore Allende was murdered and Chile
was delivered into the hands of ITT and other investors.
The Phoenix Program was applied to Vietnam the way
Politica was used in Chile. Now-CIA Director William Colby
was in charge of the Phoenix Program. It included a continuous
policy of political assassinations, rigged elections, political
imprisonment in American-made tiger cages, torture and slanted
misinformation spread by uncontrollable CIA agents. Colby promised
at his Senate confirmation hearings in July, 1973 that he would
curb the CIA's activities at home and abroad. Instead, he has
imported the Phoenix Program into the United States.

The senior administration official, who requested anonymity, said Friday's action is not a direct response to the expulsion of U.S. diplomats or the attack in the United Kingdom.
The administration used a number of legal mechanisms in Friday's sanctions action, including the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, or CAATSA. After the measure was passed overwhelmingly by Congress in 2017, President Donald Trump begrudgingly signed it, but called the bill "seriously flawed — particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch's authority to negotiate."
At a White House press conference on Tuesday, flanked by the leaders of three Baltic nations, Trump once again said that "no one has been tougher on Russia" than him. Still, he has not directly placed blame on Putin for the actions of hisswitch heaters and essentially you're looking at a giant gas grill," Metra Commuter Rail spokeswoman Mel Riele told the Chicago Tribune.

Coleman recalled in 2012. "We won the second game 2-1. I scored one of the two runs and DiMaggio hit a home run in the 10th to win it. In the third game I drove in the winning run in the last inning, and in the fourth game I rested."
By "rested," he means he went 0 for 3. "I was exhausted," he said.
In October 1951, Coleman found out that Marine pilots from World War II were not discharged, but on inactive status and that he'd be going to Korea for 18 months. He missed the bulk of two seasons.
"Your country is bigger than baseball," said Coleman, who added that he took his physical along with Ted Williams in Jacksonville in 1952. Williams, a San Diego native, also wasa Marine pilot in World War II, but didn't see combat duty. He did fly combat missions in Korea.
When Coleman returned to the Yankees, he hit only .217. He was sent to an eye doctor, who told him he'd lost his depth perception.
"If you're trying to hit a baseball and you don't have depth perception, you have a problem," Coleman said.
He got that corrected but then broke his collarbone in April 1955. The night he came back from that injury, he got beaned.
His last season was 1957, when he hit .364 in a seven-game World Series loss to the Milwaukee Braves.
Coleman worked in the Yankees' front office before beginning a broadcasting career that eventually brought him to San Diego.

Which areas of the city will be located within the map's boundaries? Which attractions will be marked – and which will not? Even fictional maps can be interrogated to tell us more about the world they intend to portray.
The queens' maps
This season of Game of Thrones has seen maps rise to a new prominence. As the two queens, Cersei and Daenerys, vie for control of the Seven Kingdoms they are both consulting enormous maps.
The real biggest disagreement in #GameOfThrones now: who has the best map, Dany or Cercei? 🙃🙃
While the reigning queen of Westeros, Cersei Lannister, has commissioned an intricately painted floor map, her rival owns a topographical model carved out of rock. Glossy appearances versus stony practicalities, perhaps. Daenerys' map was first seen with Stannis Baratheon andbuilt by Aegon the Great – Daenerys's ancestor who became the first Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.
J B Harley was interested in the "silences" in maps – the elements or places that are left off. Looking at the two queens' maps, Cersei includes only one of the three main continents in this fictional world – Westeros – but not Essos or Sothoryos. Daenerys's inherited map is also of Westeros, despite the fact that she has spent the previous six series in Essos. This places the seventh – and penultimate – series as a battle for Westeros and is reflected in the opening sequence which in recent episodes has not travelled east to Essos.

miles eastward
to civilization as represented by
the still young United States of America.
There were other trails south and west
into then Spanish country. Northward
others entered the Indian country of
the high Rockies. On these threads of
trails extending into the far spaces,
known and unknown, they saw caravans
of Indians, trappers, hunters and wagon
trains. Perhaps also the dark lines of
troopers riding in the dust behind flapping
pennons.
All these things meant trade to the
Bents.
"This is the place," said William Bent.
Thus in 1830 the ground was broken
and adobe walls erected that for twenty
years was to be known as Bent's Fort
on the Arkansas, and when those same
walls crumbled to dust, "Bent's Old
Fort." On the edge of the far Indian
country Bent's Fort was the first of the
American Indian trading posts in the
great Southwest.
Some historians write that civilization
followed steel rails.But the progress
of civilization did not follow steel rails,
the American Army, the noted trail
blazers such as Fremont, the trappers
and hunters, nor yet the settlers who
scarred the fertile land with the plow
and built homes. All these things were

The traders, particularly the Indian
traders, were the trail blazers and the
fore-runners of the march of civilization

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Aldon Smith is now defending himself against a civil suit following a shoot-out during a party at his home last summer.
Smith's attorney, Matthew Conant, on Tuesday filed an answer to a Sept. 3 lawsuit accusing the football star and a former teammate of firing illegal weapons, brandishing handguns, hosting a party where two people were shot and allowing gang members to attend the event.
RELATED: Smith Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
Smith's defense claims in the legal filing, plaintiff Ronndale Esporlas -- one of the shooting victims -- knew the dangers and risks he was taking when he attended the party at the star player's 8,000-square-foot home on June 29, 2012.
Conant also wrote injuries and damages were caused by persons other than Smith.
Esporlas alleges thathe suffered “serious, catastrophic and permanent injuries” when he was caught in a “crossfire” of bullets in the early morning hours of June 30, 2012. Delanie Walker, a former Niner who now plays for the Tennessee Titans, was also named in the suit as a co-defendant.

According to the lawsuit, there was dancing and a lot of drinking, where Smith and Walker got drunk. In an effort to end the party, Smith and Walker hopped onto the balcony and fired off “illegally possessed” weapons into the air, the suit claims.
The lawsuit also says, “Walker then made his way to the driveway. Once on the driveway Delanie Walker began firing a handgun in the air and towards others attending the party.” The legal filing said | {

of this brown-haired, freckled boy’s DNA can be found in modern Native Americans, which suggests that their modern population came directly from Siberia.
The boy’s body was discovered by Russian archaeologists in the 1920s, lying under a slab of rock, wearing ancient jewelry – an ivory diadem, a bird-shaped pendant and a bead necklace – all of which point to an Upper Paleolithic European culture. Some figurines were found at the site as well.
All of this was excavated by the scientists and studied for two decades, then subsequently stored in museums in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).
But a team led by Danish ancient DNA expert, Eske Willersley, from the University of Copenhagen, recently got to work trying to find a direct connection between East Asia and the American Indians. Theresulting research was published in the journal Nature on November 20.
Willersley set about extracting mitochondrial DNA from the boy’s arm, but was underwhelmed when it turned out to belong to the U lineage – which means modern Europeans who settled on the continent over 44,000 years ago. The lineages common to Native Americans are A, B, C, D and X.
But having analyzed the so-called nuclear genome, which carries more evidence of our ancestry, he told AFP that "the result came as a complete surprise to us."
Firstly, the boy was from all over Europe: the two examined genomes show that modern Europeans had traveled much father into Eurasia than we had previously assumed.

on their return they had stopped for the night and had lighted

Virtually every Paris monument can be spied in a stunning 360-degree panorama that takes in the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel Tower and the Opera de Paris. The grey roofs of Paris stretch to the horizon, and boats slowly navigating the Seine look like toys.
"It's a sparrow's-eye view from up here," Fouqueray says, pointing out the other 16th-century monuments nearby like the Saint Merri, Saint Eustache and Saint Germain l'Auxerrois churches.
The project was led by Jean-Francois Lagneau, a top architect of historic monuments in Paris. Around 30 people worked on the restoration, includingstone cutters, sculptors, carpenters and glass makers.
On the tower's roof are numerous gargoyles and five large statues: Saint Jacques, the tallest, looks out over Paris to the northwest, while at the other corners are a lion, a bull and an eagle, symbols of the gospels.
After the French Revolution, the tower's bells were melted down for their metal. They haven't been replaced. The tower has been the site of a number of unusual occupations over the centuries: Renaissance mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal used the tower for scientific experiments in the 17th century, an ammunition manufacturer set up inside in the early 19th century, and a national weather station occupied the tower's heights from the late 19th century until early this century - making it off-limits to the public.

For CODEPINK and the American far left, the opposition to drone strikes rests on the idea that drones kill innocent civilians. The recently published "Living Under Drones," a report based on 130 interviews with family members of drone strike victims, studied the negative impact of drone strikes on civilians. But the debate on the drones’ effectiveness and its impact on civilians is far from settled. For example, a February 2012 investigation by the Associated Press, whichinterviewed people inside FATA, reported that civilian casualties from drones are far lower than Pakistan civil society figures, journalists, and party officials assert publicly. Another study, relying on open-source data on reported U.S. drone strikes and terrorist activity in FATA between March 2004 and 2010, also found a negative correlation between drone strikes and militant violence. The strikes have also killed high-level Taliban leaders, like Baddrudin Haqqani and Baitullah Mehsud, and key Al-Qaeda militants, like Abu Kasha Al-Iraqi and Saleh Al-Turki. The New America Foundation estimates that around 84% of the people killed in drone strikes from 2004 to the present were al-Qaeda or Taliban militants. The drone accuracy rose to an amazing 95% in 2010.

Carefully synchronized with the Hearst kidnapping in Berkeley
were a series of provocateur-inspired kidnappings. Fictitious
"armies" surfaced. As far away as England, well-dressed
and well-financed Ian Ball was pretending to kidnap Princess
Anne to "feed the poor." After his brief moment in
history, Ball was taken away to a mental hospital.
An admitted kidnapping hoax involved Jean Paul Litt, son of
a Belgian diplomat, in Florence, Italy.
The timing of international with national kidnappings could
easily be planned to instill fear of an epidemic of abductions
across continents.
In the meantime, and not by coincidence, only the poor suffer
from these kidnapping andshootings on their behalf.
America's first political kidnapping was necessary to justify
the creation of laws and the development of police SWAT teams.
They can later be used against legitimate guerrilla or terrorist
activities.
Increased repressions, planned genocide, starvation, widespread
unemployment, inadequate health care and housing must necessarily
provoke anger and self-defense in the face of death. Washington
is preparing its defenses, its punishments and its armies in
the streets.
The series of staged exploits by the SLA has created fear,
suspicion and mistrust of genuine avenues of political change.
Radical movements can be discredited and associated with kidnapping,
terror, murder, bank robbery and violence.
Under the guise of "reforms," the door is now open
for increased infiltration and disruption of progressive movements.

DUBOURDIEU FAMILY FROM " NOTES AND QUERIES."-4th JUNE, 1887.
Jean Armand Dubourdieu, who escaped to England at the Revocation of the
Edict of Nantes with his mother, the lady of La Valade, and widow of the
Sieur Dubourdieu, was married to the Countess D'Espouage. He became minister
to the Savoy Chapel and chaplain to the Duke of Richmond and Lennox. Jean A.
Dubourdieu had two sons; the first, the Rev. Saumarez Dubourdieu, who died
Rector of Lambeg, inIreland. He married Miss Mary Thompson, of Lisburn, in
1750. His sons were the Rev. John Dubourdieu, Rector of Annahilt : Capt.
Saumarez Dubourdieu, killed at the Siege of St.. Sebastian; Captain Arthur
Dubourdieu, killed at the Siege of Badajos ; Lieut. Colonel Dubourdieu ; and
others. His second son, the Rev. Shem Dubourdieu, who married Miss Browne,
had a son, Saumarez Dubourdieu, of Corinna, Co. Longford, who married (1822)
Jane, daughter of Andrew Blair Carmichael, Registrar of the Court of
Exchequer in Ireland. Their only surviving children are Charlotte, widow of
the late Ralph Brabazon Brunker, Esq., solicitor, and Emma, wife of the Very

A very desirable form of closet for homes, offices and apartments is the by-passing door assembly which employs preferably two doors, each supported by rollers engaging a pair of parallel tracks. One door travels on each track to by-pass in front or behind each other. The double track is secured to the door header or ceiling. The double track is usually roll formed from a single piece of sheet steel having sufficient thickness and strength in general to support the weight of the doors in all normal circumstances. The track and doors are normally installed as a final construction step on the structure. It is apparent that employing by-passing doors of this type, the hanger assembly plus the track will be visible from the interior of the roomChristian's praise

Pell’s trial was heard before Melbourne’s county court over five weeks. The complainant, who is now in his 30s, said he and another choirboy separated from the choir procession as it left the church, snuck back inside and made their way into the sacristy, where they drank sacramental wine.
Pell walked in on them and told them they were in trouble, manoeuvring his robes to expose his penis. He stepped forward, grabbed the other boy by the back of his head, and forced the boy’s head on to his penis. Pell then did the same thing to the complainant, orally raping him. Once he had finished, he ordered the complainant to remove his pants, before fondling the complainant’s penis and masturbating himself.The complainant said the attack lasted only a few minutes, and the boys left the room afterwards, hung up their choir robes and went home.
The other victim died in 2014 after a heroin overdose. Neither victim told anyone about the offending at the time. The complainant was attacked by Pell again a few weeks later. He said he was walking down a hallway to the choristers’ change room, again after singing at Sunday solemn mass at the cathedral, when Pell pushed him against the wall and grabbed his genitals. That attack lasted seconds.
Pell strenuously denied abusing children when he was charged in June 2017, and has maintained his innocence since. He has been in Melbourne’s Assessment Prison since February. | {

Meralgia paresthetica occurring 40 years after iliac bone graft harvesting: case report.
Meralgia paresthetica is an entrapment neuropathy involving the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. We describe an unusual case in which meralgia paresthetica occurred many years after iliac bone graft harvesting. An 81-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of pain, dysesthesia, and hypesthesia in the anterolateral aspect of the right thigh. This patient had undergone iliac bone grafting when he sustained a calcaneal fracture 40 years previously. Radiographs and computed tomographic scans of the pelvis revealed a bony excrescence in the anterosuperior iliac spine. The patient underwent neurolysis of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and excision of the bony excrescence. At surgery, the nerve was densely adherent to the bony excrescence. The etiology of meralgia paresthetica in thisestimates of the costs to complete are regularly

officer,
Captain Seele, captured by De Wets men was immediately impressed by
the modesty and fighting qualities of De Wet. He described De Wet as “a
wonderful man.” In one battle, defeat was handed to 40,000 British
soldiers by 2500 men under the direct command of De Wet, an astonishing
feat when it is remembered that the British had the superiority not
only in numbers, but in firepower also. It was the love of the land, and a
deeply ingrained sense of faith in God which carried the Boers, De Wet
later explained. Many of the British officers had no desire to fight the
Boers for whom they had nothing but admiration and this too, reflected
in the outcome of many a battle. The British soldier ordered by Lord
Roberts to make war on Boer women and children simplydetested the
task. This was not lost on the generation of psychologists who followed,
and as a result, the attack on German civilians in the Second World War,
was carried out from the air, so that the effect would be less distressing
for those who were forced to do the dirty deed. This lesson was not lost
on “correspondent” Winston Churchill, who later put it to good use in his
war of attrition against Germany.
The Boer forces were now widely scattered. Lord, Roberts thought they
were demoralized by the cowardly attacks on their women folk and
children, and the destruction of their farms. He sent a cable to the British
Prime Minister, Lansdowne, in which he predicted that his brutal policies
against the civil population would bring the war to a speedy close. He

Authorities also charged a Milwaukee County man after he acquired a ballot in his late-wife’s name so he could “fulfill her dying wish” to vote for Obama, according to the statement.
Twelve of the individuals charged came from Milwaukee County, while the rest came from throughout the state, according to the statement.

journalist Natasha Smith published a detailed account of the assault she endured at the hands of a male mob last month. Though her story was widely publicized, spreading far and wide across the Internet, it was far from the only case. Other journalists have chronicled what some are describing as "Egypt’s sexual harassment epidemic."
The problem is, sadly, not new. American TV reporter Lara Logan first brought it to international attention last year, when she revealed her own harrowing experience with a Tahrir mob. But the phenomenon she described was already painfully familiar to her Egyptian counterparts. A 2008 study by the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights (ECWR) found that 83 percent of Egyptian women reported being sexually harassed at some point in their lives. Perhaps even scarier, 62themselves to be typecast as victims. Indeed, it’s important to remember that the course of Egypt’s revolution would be unthinkable without the participation of women, who were an integral part of the protests in Tahrir — and elsewhere in the country — from the very start. Thousands of female demonstrators joined the crowds, often working as organizers, nurses, and even security guards. Young activist Asmaa Mahfouz made the video that brought thousands of protesters to the square at a crucial moment in the revolution. Journalist Shahira Amin galvanized the protests when she publicly announced her resignation from a state TV broadcaster in February 2011. Amid the turmoil of the uprising against Mubarak, some women re-established the long-dormant Feminist Union, adding another notable voice to Egypt’s chorus of civil | {

were on the point of attacking him, formed
his heavy infantry into a square, with the light troops in the centre,
and himself also prepared to retreat. Posting his youngest soldiers
to dash out wherever the enemy should attack them, he himself with
three hundred picked men in the rear intended to face about during
the retreat and beat off the most forward of their assailants, Meanwhile,
before the enemy approached, he sought to sustain the courage of his
soldiers with the following hasty exhortation:
"Peloponnesians, if I did not suspect you of being dismayed at being
left alone to sustain the attack of a numerous and barbarian enemy,
I should just have said a few words to you as usual without further
explanation. As it is, in the face of the desertion of our friends
and the numbers ofwhen they can do so without danger."
With this brief address Brasidas began to lead off his army. Seeing
this, the barbarians came on with much shouting and hubbub, thinking
that he was flying and that they would overtake him and cut him off.
But wherever they charged they found the young men ready to dash out
against them, while Brasidas with his picked company sustained their
onset. Thus the Peloponnesians withstood the first attack, to the
surprise of the enemy, and afterwards received and repulsed them as
fast as they came on, retiring as soon as their opponents became quiet.
The main body of the barbarians ceased therefore to molest the Hellenes

On the theoretical level the issue was faith; on the practical level it
was religious observance. Laxity i n observance was prevalent, due to
the inroads of rationalism and heresy as well as to more mundane
factors: laziness and ignorance. The moralistic literature of the times
lists a number of miz:vot (commandments) that were neglected, for
example, te
ftllin (phylacteries), mezuzah (the sign on the doorpost),
sukkah (the booth constructed on the Festival of Sukkot), the ritual
washing of hands, and sexual morality. The Zohar emphasizes the
importance of all of these.73
The Zohar rarely discusses mystical experience, but it is eager to
point out the mystical significance of Torah and mi7:vot. Studying and
living Torah are the surest ways to direct encounter with God. " Hap
py are those who engage in Torah, for everyone who engages in Torah,
it islaw; it is cosmic law, a blueprint of creation.76
The Zohar illuminates the cosmic aspect of Torah. It strengthens
tradition and at the same time transforms it. The literal sense is
sanctified, but readers are urged to "look under the garment of To
rah. "77
The idea of searching for a deeper layer of meaning is not original
to Kabbalah. It was adopted from Jewish philosophers who had taken
it from Islamic tradition; earlier roots lie in Christian sources and
Philo.7B The Zohar employs this method for its own mystical and
mythical exegesis.
Biblical and rabbinic Judaism had fought to suppress and elimi
nate divine mythology. Medieval Jewish philosophy tried to complete
the task by explaining away all anthropomorphisms, thus purifying
the conception of God. The Zohar, responding to a profound human
need, resurrects myth and transforms the Torah into a mythical | {

filed a timely complaint alleging the same claims in the Southern District of New York. In determining that the seaman's second complaint did not relate back to his first complaint, the Court explained, "An argument that an earlier suit filed on these claims in the Southern District of New York less than three years after the accident somehow tolled the statute of limitations for the present entirely distinct action, as filed years later in the District of Delaware, is wholly without merit." Id. at 110. Similar to the seaman in Claussen, Pemex here attempts to avoid a statute of limitations by relating its in rem claim against the vessel back to an entirely distinct in personam arbitration against Tbilisi Shipping.
Here, as in Claussen, the claim has no merit.rem and in personam proceedings were essentially the same claim, and the former "relates back" to the latter. Second, the seizure was justified by the specific contract provision contained within the LOU that reserved Pemex's right to seize the ship at a later date in the event the amount of its claim against Tbilisi exceeded $530,320. Thus, I respectfully disagree with the majority and I would affirm the District Court's decision.
As the majority explains, under a charter agreement, the vessel Tbilisi commenced a voyage on December 6, 1992, carrying a cargo of diesel oil and unleaded gasoline on behalf of Pemex. Sometime in December 1992, the oil and gasoline cross-contaminated, causing Pemex to withhold the charter fee owed to Tbilisi Shipping as security for its damages.

chased in the open by the infuriated Frenchman. He trusted she would try
to run on board for protection.
“All was still around Davidson. Whether she had run on board or not,
this silence meant that the Frenchman had lost her in the dark.
“Davidson, relieved, but still very anxious, turned towards the
river-side. He had not made two steps in that direction when another
shriek burst out behind him, again close to the house.
“He thinks that the Frenchman had lost sight of the poor woman right
enough. Then came that period of silence. But the horrible ruffian had
not given up his murderous purpose. He reasoned that she would try to
stealback to her child, and went to lie in wait for her near the house.
“It must have been something like that. As she entered the light falling
about the house-ladder, he had rushed at her too soon, impatient for
vengeance. She had let out that second scream of mortal fear when she
caught sight of him, and turned to run for life again.
“This time she was making for the river, but not in a straight line. Her
shrieks circled about Davidson. He turned on his heels, following the
horrible trail of sound in the darkness. He wanted to shout ‘This way,
Anne! I am here!’ but he couldn’t. At the horror of this chase, more
ghastly in his imagination than if he could have seen it, the
perspiration broke out on his forehead, while his throat | {

But that didnt keep feminists from anointing Morgan as their
patron saint. After all, he served a useful purpose.
Radical feminists accept Morgans fable as if it were the
Revealed Truth. Once we understand that, the rest of feminist theory
begins to make sense.
As feminists see it, the moral of Morgans account is that
once patriarchy took over, women became the mere slaves of men, had
no rights, and endured unrelenting physical and sexual abuse.
Thats what is known as the feminist Great Lie. This is how
columnist Wendy McElroy explains the Great Lie: Victims of men,
of the class structure, technology, government, the free market, the
family, the church, Western values everywhere and always women
are painted as victims. (www.ifeminists.net/introduction/editorials/2003/0422.html).
True, life may not have been easy for women, but men had their
share of problems, too. If women werecounted myself in
that group. To deny women the opportunity to get a good education and
pursue a career -- that seemed abhorrent and contrary to the American
Dream.
Then the voices of the skeptics demanded a hearing.
As early as 1972, Phyllis Schlafly posed this question: The
claim that American women are downtrodden and unfairly treated is the
fraud of the century Why should we lower ourselves to
equal rights when we already have the status of special
privilege? That editorial launched the movement that eventually
defeated the Equal Rights Amendment.
But I still counted myself a true believer.
In a 1992 article in the Washington Post, Sally Quinn compared the
leaders of NOW to the apparatchiks of the Communist Party in the
former Soviet Union. She concluded, many women have come to see
the feminist movement as anti-male, anti-child, anti-family,
anti-feminine.

belonged to both of them. He still held that old grudge against her for
marrying Barrow, and he made life very unhappy for all of them.
"He kept whiskey by the barrel at
the house, and Mother said he would come home, late at night, and make
her, a little girl of eleven, get up and go out, catch a chicken, and fry
it for him, and the men he had brought home with him. And when she had
cooked it he would whip her and make her dance for them; Betty did not
dare say a word. She said he would come home drunk and run them out of the
house and keep them out all night.
"He took a lease, intending to cut
the timber off it, and took Betty alongto cook for the men he had working
for him, leaving Aunt Jane and Aunt Lizzie at home to keep the smaller
children. They just had a little log cabin, and when they went to bed they
closed the door. There was a little "smoke-house" just a few feet from the
cabin where they smoked their meat, and Grandpa had several gourds, filled
with gun-powder, hanging in it. During the night someone set fire to the
cabin and had come and opened the door they had closed on retiring and
propped it open. The fire awakened the girls, and they got the smaller
children out and away safe. The powder gourds began to explode and someone
"hollered" a little distance away. It burned everything they had; only the

through a split second later, smashing in-
to the killer's jaw as it moved right to left and then catching him on the
other side of the face as it swept back from left to right. Sandee's kicking
leg recoiled back and his hip followed, twisting his body. As he settled
back onto his right leg, he launched a straight thrust kick with his left,
catching the killer in the stomach and pushing him away from him. He
fell back on his ass with an "Ooof."
Whatever the man had expected from the "woman" in heels, it couldn't
have been that. Paul heard a cry from behind him and looked back to see
two people, an older man and woman, who'd just rounded the corner.
They must've seen Sandee attack the man. They retreated back the way
they came,but Paul could see the woman reaching into her purse - the
cops would be here soon.
The killer started to get to his feet, hand on the ground for support
when Sandee slashed forward again, his knee connecting with the man's
forehead. Just for good measure, he brought the stiletto tip of his boot
heel down on the man's left hand in a vicious stomp. Even Paul winced
in pain at the sight of it, and when he heard the loud snap, he closed his
eyes and looked away.
"Shit," he heard Sandee say, and he opened them. He was limping
now, pulling back away from the man. The snapping sound hadn't been
the man's hand breaking (although surely it had). It was Sandee's stiletto
heel breaking off at the base.
The killer managed to regain his feet as | {

One day, 20 years ago, I went to Rehovot to look for Beit Genazim, the archive in which – according to the report of the Shalgi Commission, established in 1988 to clarify the fate of the Yemenite children who disappeared in Israel’s early years – the records of the Tel Aviv-based “Mother and Child” hostel, a temporary orphanage run by the Women’s International Zionist Organization (WIZO) were being held. I had made the trip after Haaretz Magazine published a number of investigative reports on the “Yemenite children affair.”
According to the map, the archive was located in the industrial zone between Rehovot and Yavneh. Signs led me to the western edge of the zone, where the road ended in a small paved plaza surrounded by a few small factoriestheir eyes, the reports were establishment whitewashes.
The Shalgi Commission, created in 1988 and headed by Moshe Shalgi, a retired District Court judge, was the second of the investigating bodies. The third, a full-fledged state commission of inquiry, was established in 1995 under public pressure exerted by the families and by an organization called Mishkan Ohalim, headed by Uzi Meshulam, a religious leader from Yehud. They were not satisfied with the conclusions reached by the two previous commissions or by the fact that only 627 cases had been investigated to date.
In November 2001, after more than five years of work, the state commission published its report. However, its evidentiary materials, including the findings from the WIZO files stored in Beit Genazim in Rehovot, were sealed for 70 years, strengthening | {
