tv At This Hour With Berman and Bolduan CNN March 11, 2015 8:00am-9:01am PDT
breaking news this morning. 11 u.s. service members presumed dead after their helicopter went down off the florida panhandle last night. the latest on the search for the missing and search for answers as to what happened. capitol hill face-off. happening now, secretary of state john kerry in a heated confrontation. there's the defense secretary as well. heated confrontations in the senate. we'll tell you what set this all off. that's ahead. a manhunt is on right now and a little boy is thankfully safe this morning. a kidnapping attempt caught on video and the heroic siblings who may have saved the day. good morning. hello. i'm kate bolduan. >> i'm john berman. great to see you. we'll start with breaking news. the intense search and agonizing wait out of florida where 11
military members were missing and presumed dead after an army helicopter crashed into the water near eglin air force base off the florida panhandle. we've learned that human remains have washed ashore. >> military officials say this accident, whatever happened, happened during a training mission. foggy conditions were reported at the time. some debris has been located. as we're reporting right now, they're presumed dead as they believe they have located some bodies of the crew. fog is still in the area at this moment. and could still be hampering search efforts at this point. let's get to victor blackwell in hammond, louisiana, where that black hawk helicopter was based. give us the latest of what you're hearing and breaking news right now. >> reporter: i spoke with that base spokesperson there at eglin. she says not only have human remains started to wash ashore
but more debris and more parts of this black hawk potentially have washed ashore in the last several hours as well. she's stressing that this is still a search and rescue effort. they are still hoping for the very best but as we reported, officials believe that those 11 service members, seven marines from camp lejeune and jacksonville, north carolina, and four crew members, two pilots and two crew members of the black hawk based here at louisiana army national guard, that they are presumed dead. we also know that as you said, the weather is hampering this effort. the coast guard has secured the waterways but fog in the area is still making this very difficult to find those crew members. we don't know much reported from the officials. either they don't know or they're not saying what contributed to the cause of this accident. they have said that the other black hawk that was also based here involved in this training mission was not involved in this accident but did land safely
back at eglin. kate, john? >> there were two helicopters involved. one did return safely. you say there is fog right now hampering the search. they're not saying much about what went wrong with the helicopter. are they indicating that weather could have been a factor? >> reporter: we've been told by a spokesperson for eglin that there were weather issues at that time and there was fog in the area. they're not attributing the accident specifically to the weather. they do not believe there was anything that was nefarious that happened but report specifically about what caused it, that's not yet come out. we do also know that they are withholding the names of those 11 service members until they notify next of kin. we have it to put on the screen. i want to read for you a statement that was released by governor bobby jindal within the last few moments. a couple of sentences here from the governor of louisiana. he says "our guardsman have fought courageously overseas in
defense of our nation and here at home they protect what matters most at times of crisis. these soldiers represent the best of louisiana and we're praying for them and their families." john, kate? >> victor blackwell for us in louisiana. victor, thank you very much. we'll stay close to this because this is developing as we speak "at this hour." we'll also looking at the war against isis. it's front and center right now on capitol hill. three of the nation's top national security officials are testifying before the senate foreign relations committee facing questions on the president's war request to defeat the terror group. military operations are already under way of course in that region. the administration is looking for formal authorization to use military force against isis and congress has said it wants to have its say. >> some live pictures from that hearing right now as you can see those testifying are secretary of state john kerry and also there with him is defense secretary ash carter and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, martin dempsey. they are testifying on what's
going on against isis in iraq and syria but this discussion really, this feisty debate got very, very heated when the issue of iran came up. listen. >> in essence the way we proceeded with our negotiations in iran impacted our trust level with critical allies and this coalition. >> that actually is flat wrong also. flat wrong. >> you can see that debate between secretary of state and senator marco rubio from florida over the issue of iranian influence in iraq. i want to bring in cnn global affairs correspondent elise labott monitoring these hearings for us. a little heated there between marco rubio and john kerry. >> reporter: what a lot of republicans feel on the committee is that administration is too eager to make a deal with iran because they feel there's some kind of grand bargain going on. the u.s. is going to give iran a
little bit of a pass on this nuclear agreement so that it can work with iran on isis and combatting isis in the region on some of the other problems going on in the region. that's why the secretary was saying to the senator you're flat wrong. the administration is not looking for grand bargain and this administration tried to delink the issue of iran and the nuclear negotiations. iran's behavior in the region. it's support for bashar al assad. its support for the syrian regime and nuclear negotiations. of course they do hope if they get this nuclear deal behind them that that paves the way for a much better relationship with iran and could play a more active role. >> the subject of the hearing is actually the authorization for use of force against isis. it veered into the subject of iran -- >> probably will veer into many other topics when you have those
officials testifying before the committee. >> greater debate on how to defeat isis comes as that terror group posted a horrific video online showing a child shooting a young man execution style. isis claimed the 19 year old who was shot was an israeli spy but the defense minister denies that. the victim's parents also deny it. he was an israeli citizen of palestinian descent. new progress today in the war against isis. iraqi forces and shia militia took back big parts of the city of tikrit. it's known as birth place of former iraqi leader saddam hussein. if iraq regains control of tikrit, it could offer a boost ahead of the future operation to retake mosul, a city much larger, ten times bigger than tikrit. we'll talk more about this offensive and what it could mean for operations against isis later this hour. our military and terrorism analyst will be joining us. >> new developments out of
ukraine. u.s. officials will send $75 million in nonlethal equipment to ukraine. that includes radar, drones, radios and medical equipment. the obama administration is sending 200 humvees to the region after a call today where the vice president noted concern with ongoing violations of the cease-fire by russian backed separatists near donetsk. members of both parties, democrats and republicans, highly critical of the president for not arming at this point. >> the fact it continues to deteriorate. >> not sending arms to ukraine and it continues to deteriorate. they decide to send more nonlethal aid. one of the university of oklahoma students expelled after seen on video leading a racist chant has apologized. so have parents of another student who was expelled from the school. >> parker rice issued a statement saying it was wrong and reckless what he did and the
parents of the second student said their son had made a horrible mistake. university officials have cut ties with the sigma alpha epsilon fraternity and closed down the fraternity for good. nick valencia is on the school's campus for us. what are you hearing this morning following these expulsions? >> reporter: good morning, kate. a little more than 72 hours after that video first was posted online and surfaced online, the apologies are continuing. the conversation about what happened is as strong as ever. let's get to one of those statements from parker rice. he's the 19 year old identified as one of the students who was leading this very racist chant posted online over the weekend. parker rice issuing an apology saying i'm deeply sorry for what i did saturday night. it was wrong and reckless. i made a horrible mistake by joining into singing and encouraging others to do the same. he was expelled about midday yesterday. another one of those students who has been identified by the campus newspaper is student named levi petit who issued an
apology through his parents. his parents saying "he made a horrible mistake and will live with consequences forever. however, we also know the depth of our son's character. he's a good boy. what we saw on videos is disgusting. we would also like to apologize to the entire african-american community, university of oklahoma student body and administration." students on campus and faculty waking up to statues here on campus that have tape over the mouths reading unheard. that's the alliance of black students here that since january have been trying to bring cultural change to the campus and also the organization responsible for this clip going viral after they tweeted the president of this university what happened. john, kate? >> nick, thank you so much for us in oklahoma. we'll continue to follow that. president obama's strategy to wipe out isis under the microscope right now on capitol hill.
what will congress do? that's the big question in response to the request for more war authority. this as three of the nation's top national security officials are facing tough questions on that and much more. the hit song "blurred lines." it might be bad but is it actionable? a jury says, yes, it's a copy and now two huge stars have to pay up big and this has huge implications for the entire music business. of your daily routine. so why treat your mouth any differently. brushing alone does less than half the job leaving behind millions of germs. complete the job with listerine®. kill up to 99 percent of germs. and prevent plaque, early gum disease and bad breath. complete the job with listerine®. power to your mouth™. also try listerine® floss.

secretary of state john kerry is testifying before the senate foreign relations committee. it was really a contentious exchange between john kerry and senator marco rubio about the issue of iran and iran's involvement battling isis in whether or not the nuclear negotiations between the u.s. and iran are somehow clouding the american perspective. watch. >> is it not right that they feel that we've kept them in the dark about our negotiations with iran and in essence the way we proceeded with our negotiations in iran have impacted our trust level with critical allies and this coalition. >> that is flat wrong also. flat wrong. >> they said so publicly. >> it's flat wrong. i just came back from a meeting in the gulf and i met with king salman who supports what we're doing. i met with all gcc members. they all articulated support for
what we're doing and they believe we're better off from trying to prevent them getting a bomb provided it prevents them from getting this bomb. that's the test of this. >> let's bring in senator bill nelson, democrat from florida and senior member of senate arms services committee to discuss this and much more. thank you very much for coming in. i want to get your take on what we heard. exchange between secretary kerry and marco rubio. he said that iran's involvement in iraq may be clouding the u.s. perspective on negotiations over iran's nuclear program. what say you? >> first of all, that didn't sound very contentious. it sounded to me very civil discussion and i think john kerry answered it very well. all of our allies indeed are very supportive because at the end of the day what's the goal?
the goal is that iran not have a nuclear weapon. now, we can either do that diplomatically if we get an agreement that is verifiable with intrusive and unexpected, unannounced inspections over the years or the alternative is war. and i think that's something that all of our friends in the region, plus the ones, the p5 plus 1, that's the european folks that are doing the actual negotiations, they all support that. >> senator, some of your democratic colleagues don't agree. most of your republican colleagues disagree. 47 of them wrote an open letter to the leadership in iran saying that this deal will expire after president obama leaves office. the next president can declare it null and void. what do you make of your
colleagues who wrote this letter to the iranian leadership? >> i'm saddened. i'm saddened that we are so divided that nearly half of the senate, all republican, would think it necessary to write a letter that in effect tries to cut the legs off from underneath the president and the administration while we are negotiating to see if we can get an agreement to avoid iran having a nuclear bomb. i'm saddened. >> over at the state department yesterday, the state department spokesperson said that this letter is harmful to the country's national security. do you really believe that this letter, this open letter that was written by your republican colleagues in the senate, do you really believe that this harms and hurts the negotiations that have been ongoing now for a very long time in geneva over iran's nuclear program?
do you think it has that much bite? >> yes, ma'am. >> why? >> for the obvious reason. its intended effect is to undercut the negotiations, to kill the negotiations while they're going on in geneva to kill them instead of seeing if we can reach an agreement. that to me, that america is not unified in wanting to prevent a bomb and therefore through negotiations prevent a war. that to me is a sad state of affairs for our country to be so politically divided along partisan lines. >> i want to change the subject to a different form of communication. i want to talk about e-mails. the associated press is suing state department saying it wants to get its hands on the e-mails that hillary clinton sent from her private e-mail account, private e-mail server while she was secretary of state. are you satisfied with her
explanation that she's turned over everything she needs to turn over and she doesn't need to turn over her server? >> yes, sir, i am. >> you don't think that more scrutiny is due here given that the regulations have been changed right after she was in office to prevent just this type of thing? >> when you listen to what she said and think about it. i don't want to carry around two iphones in my pocket. i want to operate from one. now, had she done it, which she says in hindsight she would have preferred to do it that way, she would have been making choices as to what was a personal e-mail and what was a department e-mail.
and you wouldn't under the circumstances if she had done it that way go after her personal e-mails. i'm satisfied. >> real quick, i want to get your final thought. it's happening in your home state and it's happening as we speak, this disappearance and accident that's happened with this black hawk helicopter on a routine training mission. we are seeing reports of confirmation some bodies have been recovered. the search is still under way for these military members. wanted to see if you've heard anything, senator. >> yes, ma'am. it's tragic. it's in the bay right off ft. walton and eglin air force base. apparently the black hawk helicopter went down and there was so much fog that it was hard and a rescue last night in the middle of the night and tragically they're finding the debris and they're finding human bodies. it's sad. >> it's very sad.
we're so sorry for the loss of the people of your state and the other states involved. senator nelson, thank you for being with us. really appreciate it. >> thank you. ahead for us "at this hour," two students are shown the door at the university of oklahoma. the fallout from the video of those fraternity members and their racist chant. was it legal for a public university to expel them for essentially speech? we'll ask our expert next.
transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america.
that's the apology coming from the student seen leading a racist chant among a bus load of fraternity members in oklahoma. the president of the school expelled two students saying they created a hostile educational environment for others. the president shut down the entire fraternity from campus. >> while many agree with the university's response, there's a question about whether it is actually legal for a public university to suspend someone, anyone, for speech even if it is racist speech. want to bring in criminal defense attorney and cnn legal analy analyst. the issue here is university of oklahoma is a public university. if it were a private cleollege company, can a private university expel someone for speech? >> a public university is what we call a state actor. it is subject to the first
amendment. the general rule is the vast majority of speech is protected speech. it's true the supreme court has carved out exceptions. one of these is harassment. we see that language in expulsion of this student. the problem with harassment is most citizens have misunderstood what it means. it doesn't subjectively mean i feel harassed. there's a legal definition in the educational context and the supreme court has defined harassment in the student to student educational context as something that's severe and nasty but something that goes a step further that bars victims' access to education and that's why this expulsion is certainly in my opinion ripe for a constitutional attack. if ultimately the expulsion stays and they're not allowed to return to school. >> do you think that someon is going to bring a challenge to
this? the kids' apologized. parents of the other student apologized. do you think that someone would challenge this? it would be frowned upon on campus. >> unfortunately frowned upon is not a chapter in constitutional law even though i agree with yu on that front. the apology doesn't make the speech any more or less constitutional. it's horrific speech. it ultimately may be protected. while i have no idea whether or not the student will challenge the student code because they can challenge not only the code but the manner in which it's enforced as unconstitutional. if they do so, that code like other codes, there's precedent. they have turn over codes that are too expansive or improperly administered.
i think this expulsion base on right to free speech could be constitutional challenged even though the underlying speech is horribleab horribly offensive. >> another twist in this. that's for sure. great to see you. thank you so much. ahead for us "at this hour," 11 u.s. services members are presumed dead after their helicopter crashed off florida in what was believed to be heavy fog last night. we're now told human remains along with debris have been found. the latest on the search coming up.

happening now, testimony by federal agents in the trial of boston marathon bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev after the jury saw the words he scribbled on the side of a boat where he was hiding before he was captured. prosecutors called this note his manifesto. >> tsarnaev wrote on the boat he didn't enjoy killing civilians but that circumstances excused it. he also wrote this. the u.s. government is killing our innocent civilians. i can't stand to see such evil go unpunished. we muslims are one body. you hurt one, you hurt us all. let's bring in paul callans to discuss more of this. there's a fight, if you will, over this boat and how much of it can be brought into evidence. they're seeing some of the
messages on the boat. what is the impact of this? >> it's an interesting fight because usually this is really a confession. it's a confession, prosecutors say, that was written in blood on the side of a boat in which he was hiding when the police surrounded him. usually confessions take place in a police precinct after miranda warnings. this is an unusual confession. the prosecution says it clearly demonstrates his state of mind that this was a planned killing and they focus on the fact that one of his statements says that the u.s. government is killing muslims abroad so now innocent u.s. citizens must die. the defense on the other hand says you have to see the entire boat to understand the context of this. to understand that this was a young man surrounded by the police who were firing huge amounts of weapons at him because of the bullet holes in the boat and this is not a reliable estimation of what he was thinking before the bombing. that's the fight between the two
sides. >> in some ways this is no longer a murder case. it's a death penalty case. they admitted that he did it and he's behind killing these people. this is an argument over the death penalty. the prosecution is putting this note in saying it isn't just murder. this is murder plus. this is murder plus a motivation for terror. this note seems to lay out that motivation, correct? >> it does. i think it goes beyond that in terms of what the prosecutor is trying to prove. the fact that it was a planned killing, they can't get away from that. the defense is saying his older brother had this overwhelming influence on him and he was brainwashed by his older brother and wasn't acting independently and should not get the death penalty. prosecutors say look at these writings. look at what he tweeted to his friends on his twitter account. all of these things show a guy who knew islamic ideology and radical ideology that he professes and planned revenge on the united states.
maybe he agreed with his brother but he certainly was not brainwashed and therefore should get the death penalty. >> he himself was acting on his own power doing whatever he was going to do. paul callan, thank you so much. stick around with us, paul. we have a very different topic to discuss but also just as interesting. we want to talk about blurred lines. one jury says the megahit copied a marvin gay song but could it have just influenced the song? we'll take a look at how this decision may also rock the music world. >> we'll make you listen to it again and again. >> why not? you're driving along,

sister and 10-year-old brother running this guy down. they are screaming. >> the little boy is pushing the empty stroller. they are shouting and got people's attention so two teenager joined the chase chasing this guy down. ultimately what happened the man put the child down and ran off. luckily the baby was unharmed. the father says that his kids had been playing unsupervised in a park near their baby sitter's house. that 22-month-old kid has a couple awesome siblings. >> unbelievable that they did that and that someone stepped in and they weren't even adults that stepped in. teenagers. >> you have to be careful. significant progress in the fight to retake a key city from isis. iraqi forces and iraqi militia seize the tikrit hospital. this is just the latest development in a long offensive with major implications. we'll talk about it next.

>> some 30,000 fighters are involved in the offensive to take back tikrit, the birth place of former iraqi leader saddam hussein. joining us, our guests. colonel, lets start with you. this offense taking place in tikrit. they are showing advances. we hear they're taking back this military hospital. do you believe they are really taking on and beating back isis at that point? do you believe it? >> i do. i mean, the numbers are overwhelming. the iraqis have put the required force into the field. 30,000 fighters going after 3,000 people defending. of course the defense always has advantage because they already set up fields of fire, ieds and we've not gotten into the heart
of fighting. it's once they get into city itself. they're on the outskirts. hospital is on the outskirts. once they get into the city, they'll have to go block by block and street by street and house by house. it will get ugly. iraqis dedicated the force to do this. it will take time. i think we should be patient and let them do this correctly. >> it's interesting to me, paul, as difficult as it might be and as difficult the situation the colonel lays out there, the hard part might be what happens after they do take back this city of tikrit because it's a sunni city. deep ties to sunni past and saddam hussein and you have a largely led shia military and shia militia men with iranian backing who will be in control of that city. it seems like a possibility for bloodshed, maybe oppression and certainly chaos. >> that's absolutely right, john. shia force going in if this is heavy handed, if there are reprisals against sunnis.
there's real concerns this could drive sunnis across iraq further into the hands of isis. after all, the reason isis was able to rise up in the first place in iraq is because many sunnis hated the shia government in baghdad more than they hated isis or were willing to give isis support. concern this could drive sunnis into isis' hands across iraq and complicate the battle toll retake mosul and anbar province. >> to that point, colonel, what does this say about u.s. involvement in taking on isis here? the u.s. is not involved in the battle in tikrit. they are making progress which john and paul are pointing out largely shia militia. what does it say about u.s. involvement going forward? >> this is a key point here. we've been very marginalized here. iranians have done a good job of moving us out of the limelight. the iraqis are now relying on
iranians for technical support and for the leadership. so we're not involved in this at all. it really puts us on the sidelines and if you heard some of the verbiage coming out of the shia militia men and iranians is that we don't need the americans. we can do this as iraqis. we can do this without the coalition. this sets a dangerous precedent. i don't think it will be able to continue going forward. once they move up into the area, they'll need airpower but for now the iranians moved us out of the way masterfully. >> paul, isis is doing what it does in these situations when it's losing ground, put out another propaganda video, killing what they call an israeli spy. what do you make of this video
and the intention behind it in the fact that it's a kid, it's a kid who does the killing here? >> this is a conscious decision by isis to use a child in this horrible murder that you see on camera. this child shoots this alleged israeli spy right in the forehead then shoots the alleged spy repeatedly. they know that will get a lot of attention. they know we're going to be talking about it. they did the same thing a couple of months ago with two alleged russian spies in isis. they used a child again in murdering those two individuals. so isis wants to get some attention when its momentum has been stalled in syria and iraq. and it knows this is going to really resonate with its support base because it's going after israel. the founder of the group said after they built up the group in iraq in the region, that they would want to destroy israel. >> obviously we're not showing that video because it's vile and
we should note that israel denies the fact that this guy was a spy -- >> and to that point, they're executing -- they're killing who they say is a spy. israel says he's not. there are a lot of reports of infighting among isis themselves. what does that mean? >> i think there's unrest within isis -- >> does that indicate something? >> there are some divisions. but i don't think this is a group that's going to implode anytime soon. they're very, very motivated. they believe they're involved in an end-of-day struggle on behalf of their religion, on behalf of islam. they still have a lot of reserves to pay fighters. there's discord but isis still have a lot of legs in iraq and syria. they control a vast amount of territory, still very motivated. >> paul, colonel, thank you both for being with us. appreciate your insight. ahead for us "@this hour," a jury forced to listen to really
awful music -- >> just stop it. >> the song "blurred lines," they found it did cross some lines saying it was way to similar to a marvin gaye song. this is an important decision that could shake up the music business.

the lines aren't blurry anymore. the lines have been drawn, i guess we could say. pharrell williams and robin thicke have to pay a lot of million to the estate of marvin gaye. you know you remember this song. ♪ >> being bad is not illegal. what is problematic is what the gaye family said and the jury agreed, that the song was too familiar to marvin gaye's 1977 hit. listen for yourself. ♪
>> let's talk about this from a legal standpoint. we're joined by cnn legal analyst paul call las. paul's been a criminal defense attorney, also taught media law here which this is. this is a serious, important decision here when it gets to copyright. explain to me what the jury had to decide to say this song was essentially ripped off. >> copyright law is very complicated. the idea basically is it's simple. if you copy somebody else's work, that's copyright violation. but that's not what this is about. this is about copying an element of a work. and trying to decide whether that copying occurred. now, the law, of course, allows people to copy styles, general styles. that's how rock and roll developed and emerged and
everybody says, i was influenced by this particular artist. all music development would stop if we weren't able to build on the elements of prior talented artists. this is what a lot of people in the music industry fear with respect to this decision. they probably don't care about robin thicke but what they care about is, will this stop people from being creative? the jury in the case, by the way, this is such a bizarre case. we were able to play the two pieces of video to compare ourselves. some people say, it sounds similar, other people say, no. the jury in this case never saw that video because it was based on sheet music. the law changed in 1978 and you could only copyright sheet music. >> what? >> so that's why robin thicke played the piano from sheet music to demonstrate to the jury what the song sounded like. >> so back to 2015, from 1978, it is all very subjective, it seems in my mind. but it also seems this is happening more and more often.
a lot of this copying influenced by -- a lot of this seems to be settled out of court, sam smith/tom petty -- >> vanilla ice. >> vanilla ice as well. why did this one go so far? >> because they wouldn't pay. >> they fought it? >> robin thicke and pharrell's people thought it was ridiculous, that they hadn't copied anything. they were simply using a style similar to marvin gaye. but thicke was making explicit statements when he was drunk saying, yeah, they created this from marvin gaye. >> how close does it have to be to be an illegal copy and when it can be legally derivative? >> it has to be virtually identical. the jury said they believed marsh marvin gay's musicologist. >> is that also in your resume,
musicologist? >> for the next session we do. >> you have just blown my mind more than the robin thicke song. paul, thanks so much. >> thanks, paul. thank you all for joining us. >> "legal view" with ashleigh banfield starts right now. ♪ hello, everyone. i'm ashleigh banfield and welcome to "legal view." our breaking news is out of washington. some very intense exchanges in the senate in a hearing over president obama's request to authorize military force against isis. this is a request that he made a month ago. and three of the nation's top national security officials are currently on capitol hill and testifying live. the secretary of state john kerry is there. he is also joined by defense secretary ashton carter and also general martin dempsey, the chairman of the joint ch

“BEEP…BEEP…BEEP” was the only noise that filled the room as I stirred and started moving around. The feel of cotton sheets engulfed my body and told me I’d slept in a bed for the night. “That’s a good start” I thought to myself. I guessed it was mid-morning as the room was brightly lit, forcing me to keep my eyes closed. Where was I? I had no recollection of the previous events, that signaled a big night so I went with it. I sat up in bed and swung my legs around to the edge of the bed. I don’t normally laze around, I am the kind of person who gets up, and shakes off the cobwebs.
A voice bellowed, “Where do you think you’re going?” No one usually talks to me like that, “I’m going home,” I replied “Just give me 10 minutes and I’ll be out of your hair.” I still had my eyes closed as I felt groggy and didn’t want to confront what was in front of me.
“I don’t think so, you need to stay in bed!” This person didn’t sound like my mother, who was she to tell me what to do. “No, I need to get home!” I replied, eager to get out of this nightmare. “Please just stay there!” The voice getting closer to me as I continued to move gingerly. “You’ve got a broken leg!” The voice was at my bed and I quickly opened my eyes. The brightness of the room was still too much and my eyes were still adjusting. I felt down my left leg and felt something hard and abnormal encasing it. “What the hell happened, where the hell am I?” was all I could think about still not quite knowing where I was.
“Brandon, you need to lay back down! You’ve been in an accident!” That voice sounded familiar. “Rebecca, is that you? What is going on?” I replied. “Yes it’s me, please just lay down and get some rest.” My eyes had adjusted enough to notice I was in a hospital ward. My bed was at the end, next to a window with a view of the city. I was as confused as ever however I knew someone was next to me. I laid back down and closed my eyes…
Friday night at Dale’s was always a thing. Dale was a friend from work who lived twenty minutes from my house by foot. We always hung out there, a big group of people from his high school days and a few people from work. We would all drink, listen to music and just basically be louts. The neighbors didn’t seem to mind, it was the suburbs and we were just letting off steam. No one really got out of control, just the occasional person using the fence as a toilet and the back yard as place to puke and rally. The clothes line was swinging with a bag of cask wine. Goon of fortune was the game we would all play. Spin the clothes line and whoever the bag of wine landed next to would need to have a drink. Goon wasn’t the finest of alcohols so I normally sat this game out. Not tonight! It was an exceptionally big week and I was feeling pretty rowdy. The clothes line would swing and I’d stop it on myself and drink. Everyone thought this was pretty funny as it was definitely out of character. After drinking most of the bag, the night became a blur with very little remaining in my mind. The last thing I remember was talking to Dale, telling him I was going home. He suggested I take a taxi, I declined. I’d done the walk drunk enough times before to know I’d get there safely.
The flashing neon lights of Tokyo were blinding. I’d never been to Japan before however I pictured it to look exactly like this. People dressed differently to anything I could ever imagine. Buildings towering into the sky. Everyone trying to sell me different things on the streets. Brain implanted cell phones were the big thing right now. No longer would you be tied to a device in your pocket. Everything right there, in your brain, just think of calling someone and you could do it. You would have a heads up display appear in front of your eyes and you would look up, down, left and right to navigate and just speak words to complete actions. I felt my pockets and took out my current cell phone. It was large, bulky, definitely out of date. I came to Tokyo to get the latest tech gear, and I wasn’t disappointed. I walked into the cleanest looking shop and booked in to get the procedure done straight away.
It was a day procedure, they would knock you out and then you would wake up with the latest tech buzzing in your head. I was excited. I laid down on the bed, it was white, hard, contoured to fit the body. My feet hung over the edge, I guess I was a little taller than the average person the bed was designed for. A gas mask was put over my face and was told to count backwards from 10 to 1.
I woke up quickly, something wasn’t right. I felt like something shouldn’t be where it should. I touched my head, nope, everything seemed alright. No bumps, no bruises, no cuts, no lumps. I tried to speak. All of sudden I felt a sharp pain in my jaw. What did they do? I felt around in my mouth with my tongue. Something was connected to the roof of my mouth. “Shit,” I thought, “I didn’t want the roof mounted cell phone, I wanted the brain chip!” I started yelling, “GET THIS OUT OF MY MOUTH!” I heard movement from down the hall, people were scurrying towards me. My mum came to me and put her hand on me. “Calm down, Brandon!” she spoke softly, “You’ve just come out of surgery.”
I replied “But they’ve put this cell phone in my mouth. I wanted the bra…” “Shhh, it will be ok.” She replied. I laid back down and drifted back to sleep.
After I woke up a few hours later, I had calmed down and was able to talk to my family who were waiting by my bedside. “What is going on?” I questioned.
“You’ve been in a terrible accident.” My mother replied.
“Why did they put a cell phone in my mouth?” I asked my mother.
“It’s not a cell phone, it’s a plate. It’s holding your palette together. You were hit by a drunk driver on a footpath 3 weeks ago.”

In a barren space environment, the satellite was required long-term missions with optimized conditions which block the extreme temperature deviations and emit internal heat properly. The satellite’s thermal control starts from this point of view. Heat pipes are used to take out the internal heat quickly and the Secondary Surface Mirrors (SSM) and Optical Solar Reflector (OSR) are installed to isolate and protect the payload from the harsh space environments.
The satellite insulation uses the principle of blocking heat by radiant shielding from the space. It is called MLI (Multi-Layer Insulation) because it is made by repeatedly stacking reflective materials. MLI has very thin thickness and light weight.
Hinend’s job is to design, manufacture and install concerning for MLI. we analyze the assigned the condition, design the optimized shape for the satellite type and reduce the weight and volume of MLI.
The satellite division of Hinend has been built around Dr. Gyu-Hong Choi certified by ASTRIM. The satellite division has the entire capability for design, manufacturing and installation with the high- end class technicians.

The drain pump allows the evacuation of waste water from the washing machine tub. It is made up of several elements: a motor, a pump body, a propeller and a filter cap.
When filling the washing machine, the pump body fills with water. Even if the drum is emptied, there will still be water in the drain pump.
You will need to clean or replace the drain pump if:
- the device stops during the cycle
- there is water in the drum at the end of the cycle.
On many porthole washing machines, the drain filter is located behind a drain trap. Easy to access, this hatch is located at the bottom of the front of your washing machine.
Some washing machines, often top-loading, do not have a drain hatch visible on the outside: you must then unscrew the drum vane which is inside the drum. The drain filter will then be accessible to be cleaned or changed.
The drain filter in a washing machine is a vital component that prevents debris, lint, and foreign objects from clogging the drain pump and causing drainage problems. Over time, the filter can become clogged, leading to issues such as slow draining or even a complete blockage. Regularly changing and cleaning the drain filter is essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your washing machine. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to change and clean the drain filter of a washing machine.
Before starting any maintenance work on your washing machine, it is important to prioritize safety. Always unplug the machine from the power source before attempting any repairs. Additionally, ensure you are working in a well-lit area and have towels or rags available to handle any water spills.
To change and clean the drain filter of a washing machine, you will need the following tools:
- Towels or rags
- Pliers or adjustable wrench
- Bucket or basin
- Screwdriver set (Phillips or Torx, depending on your machine)
- Cleaning brush or toothbrush
Steps to Change and Clean the Drain Filter
Follow these steps to change and clean the drain filter of your washing machine:
Step 1: Unplug the Washing Machine
Ensure the washing machine is disconnected from the power source by unplugging it from the wall socket.
Step 2: Locate the Drain Filter
The drain filter is typically located at the front or bottom of the washing machine. Look for a small access panel or a round cap on the front of the machine. Consult your washing machine’s user manual or search online for specific information about the drain filter’s location in your particular model.
Step 3: Prepare for Water Spillage
Place towels or rags around the washing machine to absorb any water spills that may occur during the filter cleaning process. Additionally, place a bucket or basin under the filter area to catch any excess water.
Step 4: Open the Drain Filter Access Panel
Using the appropriate screwdriver, remove the screws securing the access panel or cap covering the drain filter. Set the screws aside in a safe place. Once the panel or cap is removed, you should see the drain filter behind it.
Step 5: Drain the Water
Carefully loosen the drain filter to allow any remaining water to drain into the bucket or basin. Be prepared for a significant amount of water to flow out, so ensure the container can hold it. If there is a drain hose attached to the filter, disconnect it and let the water flow into the bucket or basin.
Step 6: Remove and Clean the Drain Filter
Using pliers or an adjustable wrench, unscrew the drain filter from its housing. Once removed, inspect the filter for any debris, lint, or foreign objects. Clean the filter thoroughly using a cleaning brush or toothbrush under running water. Ensure all the accumulated dirt and debris are removed.
Step 7: Check the Drain Pump Cavity
While the drain filter is removed, check the drain pump cavity for any additional debris or objects. Carefully remove any obstructions using a pair of tweezers or pliers. Take extra care not to damage the pump or any delicate components inside.
Step 8: Reinstall the Drain Filter
After cleaning the drain filter and drain pump cavity, screw the drain filter back into its housing. Ensure it is tightened securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
Step 9: Reassemble and Test
Reattach the access panel or cap, and secure it with the screws you previously removed. Plug the washing machine back into the power source. Run a test cycle to ensure the drain filter is functioning properly and there are no leaks.
In conclusion, changing and cleaning the drain filter of a washing machine is an important maintenance task that ensures proper drainage and prevents clogs. By following these steps, you can easily perform this task and keep your washing machine running smoothly. Remember to consult your washing machine’s user manual for specific instructions and guidelines, as different models may have slight variations in the filter’s location and removal process. Regularly inspect and clean the drain filter to maintain the optimal performance of your washing machine.

It is rare that an application for permission to build houses is straightforward. In Ludlow, it seems that is almost never the case. The application to build eight homes in a modern style in the grounds of Linney House is a case in point. This has been a much abused site over the years with permissions given that would not get through the tougher planning system in place today. Trees on the property have been felled without consent. This application, submitted to Shropshire Council last February, has now hit new stumbling blocks (19/00826/FUL). The scheme was already subject to an energetic complaint from the council’s tree officer. Highways officers said several matters must be resolved before planning permission is granted. Shropshire Council’s ecologists now say they are not happy with the plans. They are demanding more information to be assured that protected species are not damaged. They are concerned about disturbance to otters. The council’s heritage team want the scheme thrown out unless significant improvements are made, including a reduction in the number of houses.
This is tough talk from officers and I am not expecting approval of this scheme anytime soon.
The council’s ecology team have called for further information on the proposals. Officers are concerned that the development will “involve relatively large amounts of earth moving on site and to within less than 10m of the bank of the River Corve”. They ask what measures are proposed to prevent sediment washing down these slopes into the Corve and then into the Teme site of special scientific interest (SSSI)? The ecologists call for Natural England to be consulted on the scheme. According to the planning portal, the only government agency to be consulted to date is the Environment Agency, which does not deal with ecology.
The ecology survey must be updated as the published report is three years old. It was based on a site visit in February 2016, too early in the year to understand the full habitat potential of the site. The tree cover at Linney House is not ancient woodland. “It does support important semi-natural habitat at a local level and is used by protected species. It also lies immediately adjacent to the River Corve and lies completely within the Environmental Network.”
There are otters on the Teme and the Corve. In 2016, no otter nests were observed on the site, though spraints and footprints were noted within 200m. The ecologists say:
“It is clear that this section of river is used regularly by otters and probably on a nightly basis throughout the year. Artificial lighting and noise could impact otter during its nocturnal activities and migrations, particularly at night. Construction operations should generally be limited to daylight hours.”
That will be a challenge to Shropshire Council which routinely mandates 10 hours of construction on weekdays.
The council’s conservation team want the planning application rejected unless significant improvements are made.
Officers say the proposed development of eight homes will not harm the setting of the Grade II listed Linney House because that setting was already damaged in the 1960s and 1970s when quarrying operations took place in the garden area. The team “welcomes the contemporary design concept behind the scheme… It has the potential to provide a greater level of architectural interest within the conservation area than the previously approved developments would otherwise provide.”
But in order to maintain the character of the conservation area, the critical comments made by the council’s tree team must be addressed. The number of houses must be reduced:
“A revision to the site layout, and consequently a potential reduction in the proposed number of units, is necessary in order to ensure that the landscaping scheme is viable in the medium to long term. This will be necessary before the scheme can be consider to either preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, thus causing less than substantial harm to its significance as a designated heritage asset.”
That’s a big ask but reducing the number of homes on the scheme would ease ecological and conservation concerns, as well as reducing increase of traffic on the Linney.
The stone wall bounding Linney is to be repaired during this development. “These repairs would in principle provide benefit to the wider Conservation Area” but the conservation team are reserving judgement until highways objections are resolved.
Earlier, Shropshire Highways objected to the access onto Linney. WSP, Shropshire Council’s consultants for highways, had complained that no details had been provided on the visibility vehicles will have when they leave the site. This visibility must be permanent and not reliant on hedge maintenance. The speed of traffic on the road must also be considered. There is a danger that traffic speeds will increase if plans to straighten the road when a stone wall is rebuilt go ahead.
Currently, the speed limit on the Linney is 30mph but most people drive more slowly. I am favour of bringing the Linney into the 20mph zone. That’s easy to do as Linney links two ends of the current 20mph zone in the town centre. Shropshire Highways has confirmed that Linney meets the requirements for a 20mph speed limit without the need for speed humps.
The developer’s plans include a pedestrian access to the development immediately opposite the footpath through St Leonard’s churchyard. WSP says that this proposal does not follow guidelines for “secure by design”. No traffic must approach a pedestrian crossing from a blind bend. WSP said it has “concern that pedestrians are being brought out into a passing place where a vehicle could suddenly appear and pull up across the entrance. Exiting pedestrians are required to be protected from this likelihood.” There must be no foliage “which could secret a perpetrator”.
All in all, that is quite comprehensive criticism from Shropshire Highways.
The problem of the steps can probably be resolved by increasing the slope of the footpath from the proposed 1 in 24 gradient. I have never liked this pedestrian access having a gate. That will of course be locked much of the time – otherwise have a gate? That will restrict access to the new open space created by this development. I don’t approve of creating private open spaces. I will ask the council to impose a planning condition preventing the gate being locked during daylight hours.

The first winter storm watches of 2020 have been hoisted for the Stateline! They take hold officially Friday Evening around dinnertime, and remain in effect through late Saturday Night or very early Sunday Morning. Given the most recent model trends, I fully expect these watches to be upgraded to warnings on Friday, perhaps as early as 3:00 Friday Morning.
Computer forecast model projections have become much more closely aligned with regard to the evolution of the incoming storm. There are to be two distinct waves of precipitation, one coming Friday Evening/Overnight, the second coming Saturday Afternoon/Evening.
We'll kick the storm off harmlessly enough with light rain late Friday Afternoon. As temperatures continue to cool, though, rain transition to freezing rain from northwest to southeast. Icing will likely begin in areas west and northwest of Rockford around dinnertime Friday. In the Rockford Metro, that changeover is to occur sometime between 8:00 and 9:00pm. Areas south and east of Rockford will see the changeover between 9:00 and 11:00pm.
Our Timecast Model continues to suggest a break in the action is to occur sometime around or shortly after Midnight. In reality, that may be a bit premature. It's more likely that any break in the action would hold off until closer to dawn Saturday, or perhaps even after that. We'll need to keep a close eye on upcoming high-resolution model runs to better time out when that break may occur. Before the first round of precipitation winds down, there could be a brief mix with some sleet or snow, especially north and west of Rockford, with some modest snow/sleet accumulations possible by Saturday Morning.
Most models suggest a period of quiet weather during the morning hours of Saturday, before the next round of precipitation begins. The second round is to come almost exclusively as snow for most of us. The exception to this rule may be in southeastern portions of the region, those along and south of I-88, where freezing rain may occur for the first few hours of the afternoon. Snow will continue areawide Saturday Evening before tapering to flurries and eventually ending altogether around or shortly after midnight.
Now, for the million dollar question... How much snow can we expect? In all honesty, it depends on where you live. Most of the Stateline can expect between 5 and 9 inches of snowfall. However, a few areas may pick up 10 or 11 inches, while others may only see 2 to 4 inches. The candidates most likely to pick up the heaviest amounts of snow will be in Southern Wisconsin, while the lightest snow amounts will be found across portions of Whiteside, Southern Ogle, Lee, and DeKalb Counties. Before folks living in those areas go celebrating, thinking they've avoided any severe impacts, there's this extremely important caveat. The areas that get the least amount of snow will be doing so because those areas will be getting the most amount of ice. The highest ice accumulations will be found in areas south and southeast of Rockford. With gusty winds likely through the duration of this event, power outages are likely to occur.
This is the time to prepare for the incoming storm. Any travel that needs to be done, any supplies that need to be purchased, and any errands that need to be run should be taken care of by Friday Afternoon. From Friday Evening through Saturday Night, travel is strongly discouraged. Travel should not be resumed until mid-morning Sunday, when crews will have had ample time to clear the roads.
We'll continue to keep close watch on any and all developments that unfold in the hours leading up to the storm's arrival, and will keep you abreast of any changes to the forecast that may occur.

Group drops lawsuit to put alcohol sales on Crawford Co. ballot
The group in favor of making alcohol sales legal in Crawford County dropped an appeal to try and put the issue on the ballot this November.
Keep Dollars in Crawford County was suing the county clerk's determination that it hadn't gathered enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
The lawsuit also challenged the constitutionality of some laws governing the gathering of signatures for petitions.
"For months, our committee worked tirelessly to give the people of Crawford County the opportunity to vote on this issue, but ultimately, we have determined we simply came up short," spokesperson Kevin Holmes said.
"We still believe alcohol sales are important for the economic future of our county, and we are grateful to all of the folks who signed the petition and worked hard to try to put this measure on the ballot," Holmes said.
Members of Keep Dollars In Crawford County worked to gather signatures for more than six months.
"When we started doing the math on the numbers we were about 153 signatures short of where we needed to be even if the court approved these signatures to be able to have them on the ballot, " Shayne McKinney said. "In Crawford County, come January, it's very likely you will be able to buy marijuana and you won't be able to buy a six-pack of beer."
Under Arkansas law, for a county to turn from dry to wet, signatures must be gathered from 38 percent of qualified voters in that specific county.
According to a spokesperson with the secretary of state, any issue other than alcohol sales would require significantly fewer signatures, ranging from 6-10 percent of qualified voters.
The spokesperson for the secretary of state tells 40/29 News that in 2005 legislators passed a law requiring the higher percentage of signatures in order for the issue to be placed on the ballot.
That spokesperson could not say why the law was passed.
"There's millions of dollars being spent coming from Crawford County to Sebastian County," McKinney said. "Special interests have won and the people's voices aren't going to get heard on this issue."
"That's a big difference. I want to know why," Debbie Edwards said.
Edwards and other people who own businesses on historic Main Street in Van Buren tell 40/29 News they were hoping alcohol sales would revitalize their downtown area.
"The only people who come down here, they're not coming to buy things, they're coming for entertainment and alcohol is a part of it, " Marcia Cooksey said.
"The first thing people want to know is, where can they get a pizza and a beer or a glass of wine with their meal and we can't offer that, " Steve Edwards said. "You have to go to another county to get that. It's sales that we have lost to another county."
Because the petitions were not certified, the county clerk tells 40/29 News that Keep Dollars In Crawford County will have to start over, gathering new signatures if the group wants the alcohol sales question on future ballots.
40/29 News tried to contact the group that opposed alcohol sales in the county, but, our calls were not returned.

A teenage girl is currently fighting for her life in critical condition following a violent encounter with another teenager close to Hazelwood High School in Missouri. The confrontation, which took place around 2:30 pm last Friday, escalated quickly, resulting in the victim being forcefully knocked to the ground and her head slammed into the concrete multiple times. A disturbing video capturing the brutal assault quickly spread across social media platforms, showing the aggressor landing several punches before the tragic act, while nearby, other teenagers engaged in separate fights.
The harrowing scene unfolded near the crossroads of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive, a mere five-minute stroll from the school, where police discovered the girl with a severe head trauma. Though her identity remains undisclosed, the gravity of her injuries necessitated immediate hospitalization, where she continues to battle for her life., reported by Epoch Times.
In the wake of the incident, a 15-year-old girl was apprehended on Saturday, facing assault charges. She is currently held in St. Louis County Family Court custody, with investigations led by the St. Louis County Police Department ongoing.
The Hazelwood School District promptly responded to the outbreak of violence within its vicinity with a statement decrying the incident and advocating for collective responsibility in addressing community violence. The district expressed its heartfelt sympathy to all affected parties and announced the provision of extra support from their crisis team for those distressed by the event.
Furthermore, the district called for community solidarity in improving the local environment for the youth, amidst recent criticisms for expelling over thirty middle school students due to incomplete residency documentation. According to Jordyn Elston, the district’s public relations director, the affected students were quickly reinstated upon updating their records, underscoring the school’s commitment to student welfare amidst challenging circumstances.
This tragic event not only underscores the urgent need for effective conflict resolution and anti-violence initiatives within communities but also highlights the broader societal responsibility to foster safe environments for young individuals to grow and learn.

Texas wide receiver Marquise Goodwin ran one of the 25 fastest forty yard dashes in draft history with a 4.27, but it was West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin who came in only slightly behind him at 4.34 and had arguably the best showing of anyone at the Combine. He showed great hands and explosiveness in drills, and, alongside Onterio McCalebb (Auburn) and Ryan Swope (TAMU), finished with the second fastest forty time with a 4.34 (see table below for fastest 40s including Bo Jackson’s all-time best 4.12 in 1986).
Tennessee wide receivers Cordarelle Patterson and Justin Hunter boasted blazing times of 4.42 and 4.44 respectively.
Last year Robert Griffin III became only the second quarterback to break the top 40, (Michael Vick ran the the 13th fastest time in 2000. Among this year’s quarterbacks, Geno Smith (West Virginia) and E.J, Manuel produced strong forty times in the age of mobile quarterbacks. Smith ran a 4.59, and Manuel posted a 4.65. Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson ran in the 4.55 range last year.
Beyond McCalebb, Arkansas’ Knile Davis was the only running back to run a sub-4.4, running a strong 4.37 after a disappointing senior season. Top running back Eddie Lacy (Alabama) elected not to participate.
However, news that defensive tackle Star Lotulelei (Utah), considered one of the draft’s elite prospects, has a heart condition could have the most profound impact on the draft of everything that transpired on Sunday. It is unclear the extent of the condition or how significantly it could affect his draft stock.
It was also revealed that Manti Te’o, who lacks NFL level size and strength, will not be doing the bench press at the Combine. He has cited an injury which will prevent him from lifting, and he will be participating in all other drills.
Following up the headliner interviews from yesterday, LSU’s Tyrann Mathieu, previously known as the “Honey Badger,” asked for teams to trust him and said he would be open and honest in interviews. His drug issues are well known and caused him to be dismissed from the Tigers this year.
So far the agent for Joe Flacco and the Ravens have not yet reached a deal although it is still expected that Flacco will remain in Baltimore.

Tonight the NBA holds its annual draft lottery. Basically some balls go in a hopper, they come out of a hopper and when it’s all said and done the draft order for all the teams to miss the playoffs is determined. How the hell they actually come up with the order seems to be rigged most years. If that’s the case sweet justice would favor the Cavs and one of their two picks hitting the top spot. The other conspiracy theory would involve the Kings. They might be moving, they might not be moving… who knows. But if they get the top pick it’ll be very interesting to say the least.
Like I said the Cavs have two chances to get the top spot. They own their own pick which can’t fall lower than 5 and the Clippers pick that can’t fall below 11. Sounds great, then you realize this draft has no stars in it and after the first 2 or 3 players it’s a total crap shoot. With Cleveland’s luck we’ll land 4 and 8. I have faith though. I’m expecting a big splash tonight so I have my fingers crossed.
It all goes down at 8:30 so expect my reaction sometime shortly after good or bad plus an analysis of who I think the Cavs will end up taking.

Trinsic to end its run as a public company once acquisition closes
Send this to a friend
- Michael Hinman
- Staff Writer
As soon as Platinum Equity LLC closes on its reported $25.5 million bankruptcy sale acquisition, Trinsic Inc.'s seven-year foray as a public company will end.
That will be among just a handful of changes Trinsic (OTC BB: TRINQ) will experience in the coming months after Tide Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of the Beverly Hills, Calif.-based company, edged out American Communications Network Inc. to take ownership of the company that never finished a fiscal year in the black before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month, citing debts of up to $50 million.
"In our approach, [Platinum's acquisition] is not based on any kind of exit strategy," said Mark Barnhill, a principal with Platinum who assumed operational control of Trinsic on March 26. "We use an entry strategy to identify businesses that we think, from an operating standpoint, we would be able to assist in stabilizing and turning into a profitable and successful company."
Change of venue?
It's still too early to tell what specifically is going to happen to Trinsic, Barnhill said. The company officially maintains its headquarters in Tampa but has operated a de facto corporate base at one of the company's service centers in Atmore, Ala., near where CEO Trey Davis resides. Atmore is located in the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's Southern District of Alabama where the company filed for Chapter 11.
There is a chance, Barnhill said, that the company could stay put in Tampa.
"When we acquire a company, typically we will maintain the headquarters where they already are," he said. "We don't move headquarters arbitrarily, and we typically don't move them to California where we're based."

ARTICLE ABSTRACTPreclinical and clinical evidence indicate that the proimmune effects of radiotherapy can be synergistically augmented with immunostimulatory mAbs to act both on irradiated tumor lesions and on distant, nonirradiated tumor sites. The combination of radiotherapy with immunostimulatory anti-PD1 and anti-CD137 mAbs was conducive to favorable effects on distant nonirradiated tumor lesions as observed in transplanted MC38 (colorectal cancer), B16OVA (melanoma), and 4T1 (breast cancer) models. The therapeutic activity was crucially performed by CD8 T cells, as found in selective depletion experiments. Moreover, the integrities of BATF-3–dependent dendritic cells specialized in crosspresentation/crosspriming of antigens to CD8+ T cells and of the type I IFN system were absolute requirements for the antitumor effects to occur. The irradiation regimen induced immune infiltrate changes in the irradiated and nonirradiated lesions featured by reductions in the total content of effector T cells, Tregs, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, while effector T cells expressed more intracellular IFNγ in both the irradiated and contralateral tumors. Importantly, 48 hours after irradiation, CD8+ TILs showed brighter expression of CD137 and PD1, thereby displaying more target molecules for the corresponding mAbs. Likewise, PD1 and CD137 were induced on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from surgically excised human carcinomas that were irradiated ex vivo. These mechanisms involving crosspriming and CD8 T cells advocate clinical development of immunotherapy combinations with anti-PD1 plus anti-CD137 mAbs that can be synergistically accompanied by radiotherapy strategies, even if the disease is left outside the field of irradiation.

When I first heard that Jon Shaffer and Hansi Kursch were doing a side project together I just couldn't wait until I was able to get my hands on a copy of it myself. It always seems to happen when you really start looking forward to an album it never really lives up to the expectation you have. That is definitely not the case here. This album is actually better than I expected which is high praise indeed considering that anyone's expectation of a band consisting of the leaders of Iced Earth and Blind Guardian would naturally be very high.
As for the sound of the album is more Iced Earth than it is Blind Guardian but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I prefer the darker sound of Iced Earth anyway. Where this album really shines though is in the vocal performance of Hansi who in my opinion is one of the very best vocalists in metal today. His range and emotional delivery is just unbelievable. The guest musicians helping out on this effort were producer and engineer Jim Morris doing some lead guitar work and Mark Prator on drums.
The music is all out Iced Earth though with the killer riffs you would expect from Jon especially on songs like "Heaven Denies", "Blood on my Hands", "Tear down the Wall" and "My Last Sunrise". Oddly enough my favorite song on the disc is the mostly acoustic song "Fiddler on the Green". This song just has some of best vocal work I have ever heard from Hansi and it sure as hell doesn't hurt that the guitar work is just top notch with a very memorable groove.
This is one of the best power metal releases of 1999 in my opinion. Would you honestly believe me if I said otherwise with the amount of talent in this band? I didn't think so…hehe

Borgo is a higly original mix of accords that,whit the delicate and fruity note of Visciola,a particular wild cherry typical of the Portofino area, and the Pitosforo butter-bush, the theme of Acqua di Portofino as dominant flavor typical of the village,creates an elegant and sophisticated bouquet for dynamic and charming woman.
