“Okay stop! You’re hurting me…!” Ray growled as everyone else tried to pull and push him through the barrier.
They pulled and tugged on his arms, straining in order to move him forward. However, all of their efforts just gave him aching limbs. Once they finally let go Ray sighed with relief.
“Man you really can’t get through,” Dimetrios sniggered.
“It’s not funny!” Ray shouted, annoyed with Dimetrios’s carefree attitude, “We have some serious business to get to!”
“Looks like you might have to sit this one out,” Lynx said with a devilish grin. “That way it’s my time to shine!”
“Stop mucking around! There has to be another way!” Ray growled.
“Brayden is right; we must look at other options,” Kaela claimed. She looked towards Mr Kaden, “Is there any other way to get to the village?”
“If this is indeed a barrier, it would cover the whole area surrounding the village.” Mr Kaden said in deep thought.
“Does that mean I can’t do anything? I have to wait here?” Ray complained. Screwing up his face, he folded his arms and layered them against his chest and becoming more annoyed at the situation as each second passed.
“However, a barrier can only cover the areas the Oviri is aware of. Therefore, it’s quite possible that there is a hole somewhere.” Mr Kaden continued.
“Do you know of anywhere there could be one?” Pennie asked with curiosity.
Everyone thought in silence as Ray tapped his feet impatiently. The longer they took the more lives would be lost.
“Why did it have to be me…” he sighed under his breath.
He began to believe that bad things only seemed to happen to him. When he wasn’t accidentally destroying things, he was being targeted or finding some other way to muck things up. Bad luck always seemed to follow him. He began to pace up and down kicking the dirt. It wasn’t that he particularly wanted to fight. He found himself desperately wanting to help the town. He wanted to become a saviour, just like Azaliea was in their hometown. However, it was taking so long to get to them it began to piss him off.
“This is such a pain!” he growled.
After a while, Cianna’s eyes brightened with an idea, “I know! If we go that way, we have a direct link to the sacred ground!”
“The old caverns?” Noah questioned, flying beside Brayden, “What’s so special about them?”
“Of course! It’s the only place,” Mr Kaden agreed.
“Would you mind explaining this?” Kaela asked.
“Hardly anyone in the town knows where it is. To make it even more secluded, it only responds to certain individuals. It was used by A.V to keep elementals safe in the attacks. As the caverns lead directly to the sacred grounds, we’d be able to access them and divert a surprise attack on Dark Soul!” Cianna claimed gleefully.
Ray put his hands on his hips and sighed, relieved that things were finally moving forward.
“Seems good enough to me,” he said with a nod.
“In that case, we should split into two groups” Kaela ordered, her voice booming over the explosions in the distance. “Dimetrios, Lynx, Noah and I will head towards the town and Dark Soul’s base. I’m certain that some underlings would be running around there. Brayden, Pennie, Cianna and Mr Kaden will head to the cavern and attack the bosses.”
“Alright then, you three follow me! We have no time to lose!” Mr Kaden said pointing at Cianna, Pennie and Ray.
Kaela, Dimetrios and Lynx ran towards the ash-filled town with Noah flying behind them.
“Are you sure it was okay to let Ray deal with that on his own?” Noah asked. “I mean he had Pennie and Mr Kaden with him, but I don’t know if they’d be powerful enough to deal with this enemy.”
“I have faith in them. I know everything will be fine,” Kaela said.
Honestly, she didn’t know if she was correct. It was frightening. However, she knew if anyone could deal with the situation, it was Brayden. He always managed to pull through the toughest of battles. Kaela couldn’t stop the strange feeling in her stomach. She originally blamed it on her experience in the last battle she faced. However, she soon found herself filled with uncertainty.
“This is Valero we’re talking about!” Dimetrios growled, “He’s not the type to get knocked down so easily. Much to my annoyance.”
“Aww look who’s getting along as best buds now,” Noah teased with a mockingly cheeky smile.
“Shut it hamara!” Dimetrios yelled.
“I’m surprised Noah that you didn’t force your way into Brayden’s group,” Lynx claimed, “You’re usually inseparable.”
“Normally that’s because I feel uncomfortable to leave his side. I may not act like it, but I am his familiar,” Noah explained. “But I know Ray will be okay. Besides, I know that he’d probably prefer me to watch over you guys. Although I have no idea how to help.”
Kaela thought for a moment as she continued to run. Hamara’s were an ancient species that were wise beyond their years. Unfortunately for her, Noah seemed to be an exception. If Kaela remembered correctly, it often appeared that Brayden knew more about ancient spells than his familiar. He often said things that were quite intelligent and his way of fighting also didn’t seem to be entirely based off of instinct. Sometimes it seemed like he had planned out every move, even if Lynx claimed him to be empty-headed.
“Twilight Heart, wait up!” a voice called.
Kaela turned around. Much to her surprise Visola ran up to them. At first she wondered how Visola managed to catch up in such a short time but then realised that she managed to do so in the time they attempted to get Brayden through the barrier. Noticing a worried expression on Visola’s face, Kaela stopped running. As she got closer, Kaela saw that Visola was carrying a small owl hamara in her arms.
“Visola, what are you doing here?” Lynx asked.
Visola stopped to catch her breath, sweat glistening on her light brown skin.
“I needed to warn you,” Visola stated. “You’re in more danger than you think.”
“This is it,” Mr Kaden explained.
Ray looked around the large cliffs. It was a desolate place, void of life. The little amount of the remaining plant life was slowly withering and dying. Prospects of future greenery seemed dim of ever growing because of the battles that had once taken place.
“It’s so…” Pennie began, trying to find a word to describe it.
“Dead and depressing,” Ray stated in her place.
“It’s very sad. I heard this place was once very beautiful,” Cianna said with a sigh. “but so much energy had been drawn from this location that there is nothing left…”
“Wow, that’s so devastating. Just what is Toivoa Destroyer’s power anyway?” Pennie asked.
“No one knows. It has been forgotten throughout history. Not many people even know it still exists,” Mr Kaden explained.
As Ray sighed, Pennie continued to look around for an opening or caves in the giant lifeless cliffs, yet everything was completely blocked off.
“How are we supposed to get in?” she asked.
“I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to that either,” Mr Kaden admitted with a sigh.
“So… we just have to look for some way in?” Ray asked, placing his hands in his pockets.
“Not exactly,” Mr Kaden explained. “I believe it was just a little further.”
Ray and Pennie followed him around the next corner. Much to Ray’s surprise, the plants seemed to be slightly more alive with tiny pink flowers blooming in the dark and dry leaves. Hidden behind the shrubbery was a marble archway. However instead of a kind of door or entrance was the wall of the cliff. It was as if the archway was only built as a decoration.
“This here was the entrance the caverns. It is the only way to enter unless you come from the sacred grounds,” Mr Kaden explained.
“So, we can’t get in?” Cianna asked with a sigh.
“No. Even if Dark Soul were to leave the sacred grounds through this passage, they would not be able to get out. To be honest, I was hoping that it had lost its power and had opened. But it is A.V.’s magic, so I doubt age would have any effect on it.”
“There has to be a trick to it,” Ray exclaimed. “We should look for some kind of hint.”
“But Ray… there doesn’t seem to be any sign of an opening,” Pennie stated. “There’s not even a crack.”
“She’s right Mr Ray,” Cianna explained. “Many people have tried to discover its secrets for many decades. But all anyone could find is some illegible writing.”
“Writing?” Ray asked.
“That’s right, along the arch and that large slab over there,” she replied as she pointed towards the arch.
The engraved writing was positioned in the middle of the off-white marble arch that had a pattern like soft powered sand. The phrase, whatever it may have said reached from one pillar of the arch to the other, with each letter curving and weaving into the next.
“Writing no one can read?” Pennie wondered.
“Some say it was an ancient dialect that existed over centuries ago,” Mr Kaden explained.
Ray sighed as Cianna continued to explain about the strange engravings. A spark of light glinted in the corner of his eyes. He looked towards the archway as the small gold sparkle shined in the setting sunlight.
“Even if it was in our language, we still probably couldn’t read it,” Mr Kaden stated. “These caves are so old that the writing has probably chipped and faded away.”
Ray walked towards the cliff slowly, squinting his eyes to try and see where the shine was coming from. Everything the others were saying disappeared from his mind.
“Ray? Is something wrong?” Pennie asked, noticing him staring intently at the cliff.
Ray noticed that the writing was delicately carved into the marble with gold. Although it was dusty and slightly scratched out, he was able to make out almost every word.
“I think I might… I think I can make out what it says,” Ray explained.
“Wait? What?!” Mr Kaden exclaimed.
“Ray are you sure?” Pennie asked with a surprised expression.
“I think… hold on…” he muttered.
Ray brushed the dust off the marble which felt smoother than he expected, and the phrase written in gold became easier to read. He read the sentence aloud.
Be warned that every desire has consequences. If you chose to continue down this path disaster may follow. Remember, peaceful days never last, they fade as quickly as memories of the past. However, when darkness tries to destroy you, the eternal flame of hope will light the way. –A.V.
“It sounds so… tragic,” Pennie said.
“The tale of A.V and Toivoa was tragic. Many Light Elementals lost their lives, and as for A.V.…” Mr Kaden said with a sigh. “Well, she suffered from something truly tragic. Everyone always saw her as a hero, but she lived through what most people couldn’t.”
“What kind of things?” Ray asked looking back towards them.
“No one knows…” Mr Kaden stated, “My mother; Nanna Kaden, she had a chance to meet A.V when she was a child. From all of the stories she told me, A.V. never smiled, rarely spoke and avoided all human contact as much as possible. Whatever had happened it must have been really painful…”
“I never really thought about it like that before,” Pennie claimed honestly. “You never really think of the hardships that follow the war…”
Everyone became silent for a moment. Brayden returned his gaze to the pillar. The only thing on his mind was that the heartache the Light Elementals had faced all those years ago was going to repeat itself. He leant his hand against the cliff.
As if to respond to his touch, the cliff began to shake. The Phrase along the arch started to glow in red, like flames trapped within the handwritten words. The wall behind the arch began to open.
“Okay… that was weird,” Ray claimed, stepping back.
“You did it Mr Ray! You opened the caverns!” Cianna exclaimed with excitement.
“It must have responded to your touch,” Mr Kaden exclaimed. “The eternal flame bringing eternal hope! In other words, a Fire Elemental! Brilliant Mr Valero! Why didn’t I think of it before? Light Elementals respect the Fire Elementals because they’re considered to be our saviours. It all makes sense now!”
“Err… I knew that. I totally did that on purpose!” Ray lied.
Finally, they were able to move forward. They had a chance to take down Dark Soul and save Le Alba from the clutches of the Toivoa Destroyer. As the Wall began to create a walkway, the group prepared to run through the caverns.
However, Pennie suddenly fell to her knees and began to scream.
“Pennie! What’s wrong?!” Ray shouted running towards her.
He knelt beside her and placed his hands on her shoulders. Her eyes were wide with fear as she clutched her head in pain. Soon after, Mr Kaden and even Cianna began to shout in pain.
Ray looked around at his companions in a state of confusion. He had no idea what had caused them to collapse suddenly, and he had no clue what to do.
“What’s going on?!” he cursed.
A dark laugh echoed through the caverns. However, Ray found it strange. It didn’t seem like the laugh was coming from an outside source but was in his head. Pennie placed her hand on his.
“Please Ray… Make it stop…” she cried. “Make the voice go away… Get it out of my head…”
He sensed an intense aura coming from behind opening caverns.
“Who’s there?!” he shouted, not moving from Pennie’s side.
“Well well well, is that any way to treat someone who’s come to see the members of Twilight Heart graciously?” the voice echoed in his head.
Once the cliff that blocked the arch completely disappeared, Brayden saw a man. A dark cloak with tears at the end draped down from his shoulders. The man wore his dark hair gelled back into spikes and had a mask that covered his mouth. The man gave off an incredibly creepy vibe.
“Who are you?” Ray asked angrily, standing up to face the villainous man.
“I am Achilles from Dark Soul,” the man projected his thoughts to the group, “And I have come to bring forth your destruction. Brayden Valero!”

A Quick Peek Inside
The SSL312 is built on a 200MHz Cavium NITROX Soho CN22X MIPS32 CPU. The VPN acceleration capabilities of the Cavium chip come in handy since 256-bit AES encryption is used to secure the connection to the SSL312. The specifications table on the Cavium Web site shows that the 200MHz Cavium NITROX Soho CN22X MIPS32 CPU is capable of about 20Mbps of SSL VPN throughput.
Our own throughput tests using the Qcheck reported a little over 6Mbps of throughput (both up and down) through an active VPN tunnel. The SSL312 also provided 16MB of FLASH memory and 128MB of SDRAM. Using port scanning tools on the unit, I discovered that the device runs Linux for an OS. According to Netgear, the hardware combination enables it to simultaneously support up to 25 user VPN tunnels. I, like many of my geeky friends, want to know what makes this kind of equipment tick; so, let's open it up, and take a quick peek inside.
Figure 2 shows the SSL312 with the cover opened.
Figure 3 shows its system board in greater detail. You can see the Cavium CPU (large chip in the middle with a heat sink on it), the FLASH/SDRAM chips, the Ethernet controllers, and various other components.

Up to $8.7 million in federal funding is being made available for next-generation bioenergy development in biomass. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is funding the bioenergy research and education efforts and will be publishing the final rule for a program that provides incentives for farmers and forest landowners interested in growing and harvesting biomass for renewable energy.
“USDA’s support for innovative bioenergy research and education supports rural economic development, reduces carbon pollution and helps decrease our dependence on foreign energy,” said [Agriculture Secretary Tom] Vilsack. “These investments will keep America moving toward a clean energy economy and offer new jobs and opportunities in rural communities.”
USDA will publish the final rule on the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) in tomorrow’s Federal Register. BCAP provides up to $25 million each year in financial assistance to owners and operators of agricultural and non-industrial private forest land who wish to establish, produce, and deliver biomass feedstocks to a qualifying energy facility. The rule includes modifications to cost sharing, eligible types of biomass and other definitions. Stakeholders are encouraged to visit www.regulations.gov to review program details and provide comments during a 60-day public comment period. Comments are due by April 28, 2015. The full program will resume in 90 days on May 28, 2015. Additional information on application dates will be announced this spring. For more information on the program, visit the web at www.fsa.usda.gov/bcap.
USDA is also looking for applications for research and education grants through the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Biomass Research and Development Initiative (BRDI), a joint program through NIFA and the U.S. Energy Department (DOE) to develop economically and environmentally sustainable sources of renewable biomass, increase the availability of renewable fuels and biobased products to help replace the need for gasoline and diesel in vehicles, and diversify our energy portfolio.

Editor’s Note: The following editorial has been updated to reflect the correction below.
As one aging nuclear power plant shuts down on Friday, ending a 47-year run, operators of one of New England's two remaining nuclear plants look ahead to 2050, when their license is now slated to expire.
When the Pilgrim nuclear plant in Plymouth ends production this week, after plant owner Entergy Corp decided the problem-plagued site is no longer financially viable, the loss of its 15% slice of New England's electrical energy production will leave a big hole in the system. Pilgrim follows Vermont Yankee, which closed in 2014, leaving Seabrook Station as one of two nuclear plants in the region. The other is Millstone Power Station in Waterford, Connecticut.
Seabrook's owner, NextEra Energy, recently received a 20-year license extension from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, giving it a 2050 closing date. Seabrook went online in 1990, making it considerably younger than Pilgrim, but given the economic forces working against higher-priced nuclear power it's anyone's guess whether Seabrook will run to the end of its license.
Efforts are ongoing to ramp up large-scale production of solar and wind energy to supplement hydro power, the other renewable source feeding New England's power grid. But closing Pilgrim means New England consumers, for now, will rely for much of their electricity on gas-fired plants – which produced 44% of New England's power needs in 2016 and are projected to produce about 57% by 2024.
Closing Pilgrim means an immediate loss of power to the New England grid; replacing that power with renewables is a lengthy and costly process. ISO New England, which operates the regional power grid, plans to fill the void with 1,185 megawatts of new power from five new solar facilities and a wind power project, according to coverage by Statehouse reporter Christian Wade. But those projects are in the future, not ready to plug in now.
The North Shore Environmental Coalition is hosting "a night to boldly envision the future" tonight, May 29, at the Beverly Public Library, with panelists from Storm Surge, the American Meteorological Society Report and an expert in New England wind power from the National Wildlife Federation. The title of the event speaks volumes about how far we have to go to break from fossil fuels, all while making up for power lost from Pilgrim's closing. Reducing carbon emissions, which is crucial to slow global warming and more unpredictable and powerful storms, demands we rely less on natural gas and more on renewables.
The impact on our power supply as we've shifted away from coal-fired and nuclear power plants doesn't come as a surprise and should have spurred more development of renewables years ago. But tough zoning regulations, problems in siting wind turbines, and the allure of affordable and readily available natural gas to produce our power have helped put New England states where they are today.
The sense of urgency is obvious to anyone paying attention to the growing risk to our coastlines, but ramping up the renewable energy supply is daunting. In 2016 the New England Climate Change Review, published at Northeastern University, quoted environmental filmmaker Robert Stone saying that, with Vermont Yankee closed and Pilgrim scheduled to close in 2019, growing reliance on natural gas was inevitable.
With the nuclear plant closures, "it's going to be almost impossible, if not outright impossible, to completely replace the use of fossil fuels with wind and solar," Stone said. "It's hard to imagine it ever happening. And certainly not within the time frame that climate scientists tell us we have left to solve this problem, which is really a few decades."
We knew long ago that closing Pilgrim would force changes in where we get our energy. Unfortunately the transition to new, sustainable sources will not be seamless, and it requires burning more fossil fuels until other alternatives are available. Massachusetts has already made a lot of progress toward changing its energy portfolio; Pilgrim's closing should remind us all of the need to continue developing more renewable energy sources, and to do so quickly.
CORRECTION: Due to an editor’s error, an editorial published in Wednesday’s edition of The Eagle-Tribune incorrectly cited the number of nuclear power plants remaining online in New England once the Pilgrim plant in Plymouth shuts down this week. Seabrook Station and Millstone Power Station in Waterford, Connecticut, remain in operation.

Musicianship Exam (Theory PhD)
Musicianship Exam for Theory Students: (Formerly Part C of the First Examination) will be given in the Fall on Saturday, September 14, 2019 and in the Spring on Saturday, February 15, 2020, 10am. Specific times will be assigned by the DEO of Theory. This examination is required of all theory/analysis students and must be taken if necessary each semester until it is passed. Professors Rothstein and Burstein will administer the exam. For other questions about the content of the exam, contact Professor Rothstein.
All doctoral candidates in Theory are required to pass the Musicianship Exam described below. This exam must be passed before the Second Exam is attempted. Students are expected to attempt at least part of the exam each semester until they have passed all of it.
1. Play a Bach chorale or similar piece in “open score,” with the upper three parts in C clefs (soprano, alto, and tenor). (Open-score editions are available in most libraries and music stores.)
2. Realize a figured bass in “keyboard style” (3 voices in the R.H., bass only in the L.H.) Be prepared to play examples either with or without a given soprano line. For figured basses with soprano line given, see J. S. Bach’s figured-bass chorales. For figured basses without a given soprano line, see the trio or solo sonatas of Corelli, Handel, etc.
3. Play an orchestral passage (probably from a work in a slow tempo, or a minuet), reading from the full score. See the slow introductions, slow movements, and minuet movements from symphonies by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. You can expect to see two or three transposing instruments among the woodwind and brass instruments (for example, clarinets in A, plus horns and trumpets in D).
4. Reading from a complicated late 19th- or early 20th-century score (e.g., Elektra or Sacre du printemps), play requested details on the piano -- for example, a series of chords in the (four) horns, the part of the Posaune(n) (notated in tenor clef), the part of the Cor anglais, or the Tr. picc. (Re), the Fl. in Sol, the Clar. picc. (Mi b), the Bratsche, etc. Also: Translate into English any foreign terms or directions found on the page, for example: Flatterzunge, Dämpfer weg, con sord., muta in la, très retenu, au mouvement, etc.
5. Be able to play illustrations in any key, major or minor, of any chord
or usage commonly taught in undergraduate courses in tonal theory. Playing in keyboard style and maintaining a clear meter, let each illustration begin on the tonic chord, end on a cadence, and consist altogether of around 5 or 6 chords. Possible requested usages:
- the cadential 6/4 chord
- the cadential II6
- V4/2 of VI
- VIIo7 of V
- bVI in a major key
- the Neapolitan sixth
- the augmented sixth chords
- (Italian, French, German)
- a sequence based on descending fifths
- a modulation from any major or minor key to the key of its III, IV, V, or VI
- modulation to more distant keys, e.g., from
- f minor to E major; A flat major to
- B minor; etc.
- In 2-part species counterpoint illustrate
- a passing tone, the double neighbor formula,
- a 7 - 6 suspension, etc.
6. Harmonize a complete chorale melody in keyboard style. The melody will include at least one modulation away from the tonic key.

The Coral Project aims to connect journalists to communities they serve
The Coral project is an initiative run by Mozilla Foundation that hopes to equip journalists to understand and interact with their readers, while also contributing to research in journalism.
The Coral Project was founded by Mozilla Foundation, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, funded by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.Current funders are The Democracy Fund, the Rita Allen Foundation, the News Integrity Initiative, the Knight Foundation and Mozilla.
The Coral Project has three open source products which are free to use. Its software contains no external trackers or surveillance. Ask helps journalists gather information from their readers, manage submissions, and publish a gallery of the best responses. Talk is a new kind of comments platform that encourages better dialogue, more productive interaction, and huge flexibility. Guides are a series of articles (73 so far) written by industry experts to help newsrooms engage more effectively, whatever tools they use.
“Everything we build has been created in close collaboration with journalists, and is open source,” says Andrew Losowsky, Project Lead at The Coral Project. The Coral Project was the idea of Aron Pilhofer, then head of Interactive News at the New York Times. While, the project was founded as a collaboration between The New York Times, the Washington Post and Mozilla, funded by the Knight Foundation, it is now 100 percent a Mozilla project.
“We started our extensive (and ongoing) research in 2015. Ask was launched at the end of 2016, and has been used in 18 newsrooms. Talk was launched in beta in June 2017, and is currently running the comments on 17 news sites in seven countries, with many more launching soon,” adds Andrew. “We hope to turn Talk and Ask into part of a suite of engagement tools for newsrooms.”
“The future of journalism is getting closer to the communities we serve, reflecting a greater diversity of views and perspectives in our work. If we succeed, more people will trust journalism, more people will be willing to pay for journalism, and it will be more relevant and useful in people's lives. Because journalism needs everyone,” he adds.
The Coral Project also conducts research and academic studies. “We have conducted a survey on journalism and harassment. We have brought commenters and college students into newsrooms, and community activists into universities.
As a result, we have crafted user personas and aggregated needs to create our roadmap and inform our decisions,” adds Andrew. Some of the studies the project has initiated include a study on marginalised voices in comment spaces conducted with Prof Meredith Clark at the University of Virgina; one of the largest-ever surveys of commenters on news sites, conducted with The Engaging News Project across 20 different websites and a review of the effect of real names in online communities by J. Nathan Matias, an expert in sociology and online culture at MIT.
The Coral Project also organises events, workshops, and discussion forums on journalism. They have help such events in newsrooms, colleges and at industry events.
“The Coral Project worked out spectacularly from our perspective. We received about 1,400 comments from readers, and our pages were heavily trafficked. The submissions were respectful and thoughtful – exactly what we were hoping for,” shared Jason Tuohey, Deputy Managing Editor, Spotlight/The Boston Globe.

Police, Prosecutors Point Fingers In Botched Blood Draw
Judge Ruled Proper Procedures Not Followed
8:24 AM, Sep 2, 2010
Indianapolis Police and the Marion County Prosecutor's Office are pointing fingers over Officer David Bisard's botched blood draw after last month's fatal crash.Bisard, a nine-year veteran, was on duty when he struck a group of motorcyclists stopped at a red light Aug. 6, killing Eric Wells, 30, and injuring Kurt Weekly, 44, and Mary Mills, 47.
A blood draw taken at an occupational clinic nearly two hours after the crash showed Bisard had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent, police said. But alcohol-related charges were dropped after a judge ruled that proper procedures weren't followed.The Fraternal Order of Police told 6News' Jack Rinehart on Thursday that the prosecutor's office failed to properly update fatal crash investigators on a recent change in state law making it mandatory for all blood draws to be taken at a hospital."If your question is were they sufficiently notified and informed prior to the Bisard tragedy, I would have to say no," said union President Sgt. William Owensby. "It appears there's been a lack of communication on the prosecutor's office portion of this."But Marion County Chief Trial Deputy David Wyser said police broke with longstanding protocol when they took Bisard to a clinic instead of to Wishard Memorial Hospital."There's been thousands and thousands of cases where that's occured, 600 last year. Not a single blood draw, not a single blood draw was done at a clinic, other than Officer Bisard," he said. "It certainly is something that jumps off the page on why protocol was not followed in this particular case ... The law may have changed, but not the protocol."Wyser also said he believes the issues with the blood draw would not have occurred had the prosecutor's office been notified and the on-call DUI prosecutor called to the scene, also part of longstanding fatal crash investigation protocol.Officers at the crash said previously that they took Bisard to the clinic instead of to a hospital in an effort to avoid an emotional scene with the victims' families.Indianapolis Public Safety Director Frank Straub has asked the FBI to look into the investigation surrounding the crash.Bisard is charged with reckless homicide and criminal recklessness and is suspended pending termination from the department.

Buffalo Bills Fans Make Fun Tua on National TV [VIDEO]
It was a pretty good day to be a Buffalo Bills fan on Monday.
The Bills obliterated the Tennessee Titans by a score of 41-7 and that's with the Bills first team offense playing only three quarters.
Josh Allen threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns, while Stefon Diggs caught 12 passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. The Bills didn't punt until the end of the third quarter, which was a 4th and 1 near midfield.
It truly was like Christmas Eve/Morning at Highmark Stadium on Monday and then Tuesday morning. The tailgate parties started in the morning and the traffic may have been the worst we have ever seen for a Bills home game.
The crew from NFL Live on ESPN broadcasted like from Lot 3 at Highmark Stadium. It's ESPN's most popular NFL show and features Mina Kimes, Marcus Spears, Dan Orlovsky and Laura Rutledge.
They encouraged Bills fans to show up and be loud, which resulted in Bills fans coming up with a chant for nearly two minutes while they talked about the Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Bills fans chanted "Tua sucks"...
Tua threw for six touchdown passes in the Dolphins amazing comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens, in what was the best shootout game of the NFL season thus far.
Both Miami and Buffalo are 2-0 and will face each other in week 3 down at Hard Rock Stadium -- it continues the tradition of the Bills playing at Miami in September.
It's clear the Bills are the best team in the NFL but Miami is a good team as well. Tua has limitations in arm strength and overall athleticism but he isn't as bad as some make him out to be. He's in a perfect system now with Mike McDaniel now, who thrives on short passes and misdirection; and the Dolphins defense is still good, despite their game against the Ravens.
It should be a good test for the Bills.

Everybody came to Larry’s.
Over the course of its 25-year run, which began in 1985, Larry King Live on CNN got the “gets” that no other talk show could. Aired five nights a week, Larry King Live in its heyday was the centerpiece of ratings champion CNN’s prime time line up. If you had something to plug, Larry King Live was on your itinerary. If you were embroiled in a scandal, you proffered mea culpas to Larry. Presidents, newsmakers, authors, Hollywood legends, and contemporary A-listers in all fields sat for hour-long interviews. At his best, King—who has died at the age of 87—was masterful at creating moments that would be fodder for discussion at the workplace water cooler (the 20th century equivalent of going viral).
Bill Maher once called King the “Mickey Mantle of broadcasters.” It’s true that he struggled at the plate in his final years—on one show that reunited former Beatles Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, King at one point called Ringo “George”—but still, nobody did it like King. Below, a representative sampling of 10 memorable interviews that display the Peabody Award-winner and Hall of Fame broadcaster’s versatility.
Frank Sinatra’s last major interview before his death 10 years later finds the Chairman of the Board in “chat” mode. Sinatra is at once easygoing and pugnacious, calling out the writers of “kiss-and-tell” books as “pimps and whores” (he’s looking at you, Kitty Kelly!) He also talks about the re-release of The Manchurian Candidate and swears on his mother’s soul that he still got stage fright.
“A rare one on one with a rare beauty…and she’ll take your phone calls.” Hollywood screen goddess Elizabeth Taylor’s first appearance with Larry King was this two-hour special broadcast on TNT. In 2000, the Queen would knight her as Dame Elizabeth—but here, she is an old school “broad” who reflects on her legendary career with an earthy candor. When King asks her about her ex-husband Richard Burton not getting his full due in Hollywood, and whether he took roles that were beneath him, she responds, “That’s bullshit,” and indignantly adds, “I think he did fairly well.”
Marlon Brando chose Larry King Live as the sole interview to hype his memoir, Songs My Mother Taught Me. Unlike his 1972 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, Brando is not focused on the plight of Native-Americans, but he is just as elusive and inscrutable. When asked if he would rather have been a musician, Brando replies, “If the dog hadn’t stopped to pee, he might have caught the rabbit.” Before Brando bids, “Goodbye,” he engages Larry in an off-key duet on “Got a Date with an Angel” and plants a kiss on King’s mouth. Two years later, he returned to Larry King Live and caused a firestorm when he proclaimed that “Hollywood is run by Jews.”
Jerry Seinfeld appeared on Larry King Live to promote his animated feature Bee Movie, in which King had a voice cameo. At one point, Seinfeld appeared to take mock (?) umbrage when King attempted to clarify whether Seinfeld or the network ended his NBC TV series. Seinfeld pushed back hard. “You think I got cancelled?” he challenged King. When a flustered King responded, “Don’t most shows go down a little?” Jerry hit back, “So do most people, also.”
“If we had God booked and O.J. was available, we’d move God,” Larry King said on October 5, 1995. The day before, he controversially took a mid-broadcast phone call on his show from the disgraced former Hall of Fame football player who that week had been acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend Ronald Goldman. “He wanted to get a point across, and we're the place he used," King rationalized. Beginning on June 17, 1994, when Larry King Live cut to live coverage of the highway odyssey of the iconic white Ford Bronco, King owned the story that gripped America. A reported two-thirds of the nation’s television households watched that night. The first thing that Simpson said when he called in was to thank King for being “fair.”
Carrie Prejean’s story made her a Larry King Live natural. She was a beauty pageant winner stripped of her crown for vague reasons. Was it breach of contract issues? Was it her opposition to same-sex marriage, as she revealed during the nationally-televised Miss USA pageant? Or was it the partial nudes she had taken when she was a model that were then posted on the Internet? Donald Trump, who owned the Miss USA pageant, defended her (“In some cases, the pictures were lovely”). Larry asked her why she had settled her lawsuit against the pageant officials. She called his question “inappropriate.” They went back and forth until she finally removed her microphone and announced she was walking off the show. And then she just sat there.
ABC and NBC each chased first generation reality TV star Paris Hilton for her plum first televised interview following her release from prison for a parole violation. Larry got it. Unlike David Letterman, who felt compelled to apologize to Hilton for his own contemptuous interview of her, King remained professional and an accommodating host when Hilton said things like, “I have a new outlook on life.” When King asked why she felt so many people followed her, she replied, “I have no idea.”
It is a testament to Larry King’s platform that then-Vice President Al Gore and billionaire Ross Perot chose Larry King Live to debate the proposed North American Free Trade Agreement. According to Time magazine, support for NAFTA was at 34 percent prior to the broadcast and roughly 57 percent afterward. It passed in the House that week. Such exchanges as Perot’s admonition of Gore’s perceived hogging the mic (“You haven’t quit talking”) surely gave Dana Carvey fresh material for her peerless Perot imitation. Just over 16 million people watched, then the highest ratings in CNN history.
The release of a Michael Moore documentary is invariably accompanied by questions about his filmmaking methods and charges of fact-fudging. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the chief medical correspondent for CNN, took a scalpel to Moore’s then-newest film, Sicko, an autopsy of America’s health care system. Moore went on King’s show to defend his film and challenge Dr. Gupta. Drinking game: Take a shot every time Michael Moore says a variant of, “There you go again; that’s not true.”
During King’s final year on air, international superstar and style icon Lady Gaga made an appearance. She came dressed in not one of her Gaga-esque outfits, but one that emulated King himself, including his signature suspenders. “Should I call you Larry or should I call you King Larry?” she opened. King asked the obvious questions (“How did you come up with Lady Gaga?”) but also pointedly asked about her health issues (“Do you have Lupus?”). A game Gaga gave him her family history with the disease; she also debuted her new video for “Alejandro.”

There is something fundamentally liberating about hitting the open road, your supplies carefully tucked away, ready for the adventure that lies ahead. When it comes to overland trips, however, having an organized and properly stored food supply can make all the difference. It can transform your journey from a chaotic scramble into a culinary expedition.
When embarking on an overland trip, it’s essential to understand that every square inch of space matters. That's where the genius of an overland kitchen kit comes into play. A good kit, like ours, is designed not just to be compact, but also to ensure your food stays well-organized and preserved throughout your journey.
The cornerstone of our overland kitchen kit is the slide out kitchen overland. It's an incredible innovation that tucks away neatly when not in use, only to glide out smoothly when you're ready to whip up a gourmet meal in the wilderness. This nifty addition to your trip ensures that you're never too far from a hot meal, even when you're miles away from the nearest restaurant.
For Toyota RAV4 owners, we have an exciting product that fits seamlessly with your vehicle. Our cargo drawer for Toyota RAV4 has been designed to maximize space and keep your food items in a convenient, easy-to-access place. With this product, you're no longer rummaging through bags and boxes for your supplies; everything is at your fingertips.
The journey is as important as the destination in overland cooking. A well-organized food storage system ensures that you can focus more on the joy of the journey and less on the practicalities of meal preparation. It’s all about optimizing space, minimizing mess, and maximizing enjoyment.
But remember, the right gear is only part of the story. Proper food organization and storage start with careful planning. List all the ingredients you’ll need for your meals, then group them according to meal type or the sequence in which you’ll use them.
Food safety and proper storage are paramount when on the road. Here are a few key rules for storing food during your overland journey:
1. Keep It Cool:
Perishable food like meat, dairy products, and certain fruits and vegetables need to be kept cool to prevent spoilage. An efficient, portable cooler or a built-in fridge in your overland kitchen kit can help you maintain the right temperature.
2. Dry Goods Separation:
Items like pasta, rice, cereal, and spices need to be stored separately in airtight containers. This keeps them dry and prevents any insects or animals from finding their way to your food.
3. Freshness First:
Consume fresh food first. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and bakery items have a shorter shelf life, even when refrigerated. Plan your meals in a way that ensures these get eaten first, leaving canned or dried goods for later in your trip.
Avoid cross-contamination by keeping raw and cooked foods separate. Use different containers for raw meat and cooked food to prevent bacterial spread.
5. Hygiene Matters:
Ensure that the utensils, cutting boards, and surfaces you use for food preparation are clean. Remember, a good overland cooking experience is as much about hygiene as it is about taste.
6. Regular Checks:
Regularly check your food storage to ensure nothing is spoiling. Discard any food items that appear moldy, smell off, or have changed color.
With these rules in mind and our handy cargo drawer for Toyota RAV4, your overland cooking experience can be a breeze, letting you focus on the joy of the journey and the thrill of cooking in the great outdoors.
As you embark on your overland journey, bear in mind that your vehicle is more than a mode of transport; it's your kitchen, dining room, and pantry all rolled into one. That's why an overland trunk is an essential investment for any serious adventurer.
In conclusion, food organization and storage might not be the most glamorous part of overland travel, but they are some of the most crucial aspects. After all, there are few things more satisfying than a well-cooked meal at the end of a long day's drive. So pack wisely, organize meticulously, and let the road take you on a culinary journey like no other.

Splatoon 2 PC Download Full Game !
Splatoon 2 PC Download – Available Now !
Few words about Hob PC Download
Splatoon 2 PC Download is easy to love. It's colorful and quirky and unafraid to be different, and it's consistently a blast to play. As far as shooters go, its unique movement mechanics stand out and make each match exciting. And while the logistics of its multiplayer aren't perfect, Splatoon 2 PC Download is a vibrant and exuberant sequel with enough fresh additions and changes to set it apart from the original.. If this sounds bizarre, well, you live in a post-apocalypse where marine life evolved unexpectedly. In this world, squid kids are in a never-ending war against humanoid octopi, all over decreasing energy sources and vanishing landmasses. Splatoon 2 PC Download lore is absurd, and I like it.Splatoon 2 PC Download games are known for their multiplayer but once again, the single-player campaign is quite good. For those of us who played the first game, the stakes in the solo mode are immediate: Callie, the pop star singer featured in Splatoon 1, has gone missing, and it’s your job to find out what happened to her.Once inside, the actual levels are a surrealist mash-up of floating platforms and mutated sea life.
The goal is almost always the same: collect the energy source at the end of the level. Within that structure, Splatoon 2 PC Download constantly switches the finer details. In one level, you might find yourself grinding up ink rails, or riding around on your enemies, if not trying out all sorts of inventive weapons. My favorites include an umbrella shotgun, and a literal bucket of paint.Between the original arsenal, the guns added in post-launch updates, and the new ones introduced in Splatoon 2 PC Download, there’s plenty of ink-based weaponry to choose from, and yet each type has distinct uses. There’s the fast and furious Inkbrush that covers ground quickly, contrasted with the Slosher that manages to turn a literal bucket of ink into a deadly close-range weapon. One of my favorites of the new batch is the Dualies, dual-pistol style weapons that have a great rate of fire and also let you quickly dodge-roll when firing to strafe enemies and release a concentrated burst of ink. Swimming through ink introduces a wide variety of possibilities. You can climb up walls, and fall through grates.You can whiz around your enemy at mach speed. You can hide in a puddle of ink until the perfect ambush presents itself. Matches might only last three minutes, but the number of things that can happen during that timeframe is almost overwhelming.
Paying to scrub unwanted extra traits to make room for new ones leaves chunks of those abilities behind to apply to other gear, letting you mix and match from your inventory, or you can try your luck at unlocking different bonuses to replace the old ones that better align with your playstyle.A lot of the preceding might sound familiar to the millions of people who played the first Splatoon. It’s why some fans debate whether Splatoon 2 PC Download is worth calling a full sequel.The whole game feels good, not just in the manner of it being fun or it being satisfying to pull off a win. Like the first game, some of Splatoon 2 PC Download offers a neon take on skating culture, skateparks, spray paint, and all. Nintendo has also added a terrific co-op component to the game. It’s called Salmon Run and is a horde mode where two to four players fight an ocean of enemies while collecting eggs for a grizzly bear. It’s all set on an oil platform surrounded by irradiated, toxic waste. You are there on behalf of a corporation that, I’m guessing, probably had you sign a waiver just to be there. The whole thing is sketchy.Enemies come in waves, sludging up the terrain with their ink. Each round, players get a random weapon, and with it, a constantly shifting role to play.Thankfully, even if Nintendo’s online for Splatoon 2 PC Download is bungled and functional at best, the game is helped a lot by being on the Switch, a console that other people actually own.

Algeria’s official ratification of the AfCFTA deal came during the African Trade Ministers Meeting held Sunday in Accra.

The coming into effect of the Deal will liberate the African States from their dependence in terms of raw materials extraction and will boost inter-African commerce, said Djellab.
The Deal ratification will allow the African States to benefit from the progressive removal of tariff obstacles over a period of 5 years as from its coming into effect in July 2020.
By officially announcing its membership to the African Continental Free Trade Zone, Algeria reaffirms its determination to promoting and developing economic relations between African countries, according to the same source.

text: There are many good Bunion Surgeons in NYC. All you need to do is search the surgeon's name on Google. A doctor who plays an active roll in his profession will have many listings.Surgery is a science and an art. A good trait in a Bunion surgeon is one who looks for innovative ways to solve problems. If you can, find a surgeon in NYCwho has invented a surgical instrument and patented techniques that improve surgical outcomes. Jun 12, 2010 By Martin Hughes Photo Caption Chiropractors use conservative methods to treat bunions and other foot conditions. Photo Credit foot and shoe image by JoLin from Fotolia.com Wearing tight shoes does not always cause bunions, but it certainly contributes to foot pain. Bunions are much more common in women. Our society encourages women to wear tight pointed toe dress shoes, heels, and pumps (cowboy boots receive honorable mention). However, I have seen patients as young as 10 years old with bunions. I refuse to believe that a 10 year old has been wearing the wrong shoes. Bunions are not inherited, but do tend to run in families. What is usually inherited is a poor or faulty foot type. Bunions may be associated with flat feet, pronated feet, neuromuscular problems, or even rheumatoid arthritis leading to foot pain. Pain in the smaller toes can be alleviated with pads and toe straighteners. Wide, soft shoes are helpful if they give the toes enough space. Once hammer toes or claw toes have developed, however, surgery is necessary. In our experience, insoles are effective for alleviation of metatarsalgia ( 7 ). They must feature a pad that pushes the metatarsals upward proximal to the pressure-sensitive heads. It often suffices to advise the patient to wear shoes with soft soles and without excessively high heels (no more than 4 cm). The malposition of the great toe, of course, cannot be corrected with insoles alone. Can anyone wear a "Fit Flop"? Caution should be taken in picking any shoe. Foot type is important to evaluate. Many people with significant flexible flat feet or unstable foot type should not wear the "Fit Flop" because the destabilizing technology can actually accentuate the stress on their foot. If you require in-shoe foot orthotics, the "Fit Flop" is probably not for you. Dr Marybeth Crane is a sports medicine podiatrist and has been interviewed extensively in the last five years on the nature of flip-flop injuries. For more information on foot-related topics, visit my website at www.faant.com or my running specific website www.myrundoc.com Cavus foot is the term for a condition in which arches are abnormally high. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons explains that due to the high arch, an excessive amount of weight is forced upon the ball and heel of the foot. Consequently, this causes pain when standing or walking and makes the ankle more susceptible to sprains because the foot tends to tilt inward. Cavus foot occurs at any age and happens in one or both feet. A condition referred to as plantar fasciitis also impacts the arch of the foot. This condition is an inflammation of the fibrous ligaments in the arch. Dr. McClanahan states that patients with bunion deformities respond favorably to conservative treatment methods, which include the use of a toe spacer to reposition all the toes—not just the big toe—into their natural anatomical positions. McClanahan suggests introducing range-of-motion exercises to manipulate the big toe into an adducted position (the opposite direction of the way it’s deviating) and selecting shoes with a toe box wide enough to accommodate the toe spacer or bunion splint. Getting the services of the best bunion treatment providers would eventually guarantee you with the best and timely response for your betterment. About the Author Hereditary and anatomical predisposition combined with minor injury from wearing narrow pointed shoes and high heels, uncorrected excessive pronation with resultant altered foot mechanics, added body weight, injury, arthritis and weakened intrinsic muscles are all considered important factors that contribute to the condition. The foot is painful because the bunion becomes inflamed from shoe irritation, degenerative arthritis at the first metatarsophalangeal joint or both. Here is a picture of a hallux valgus deformity compared to a normal big toe. The deformed toe is on the left, the normal big toe joint on right.

iPhone 6 with 4.7-inch Display Assembled from Leaked Parts [Video]
A new video that shows us a device very similar to the fully assembled iPhone 6 has recently surfaced on the Internet. This is not the first video depicting the upcoming 4.7-inch handset, however, it allows us to take a closer look at the smartphone that is expected to be officially unveiled on September 9th.
The device from the video is assembled from the leaked parts that appeared online not long ago. It can boast both front and back panels, logic board with a processor and a number of chips on it as well as several other components. As you may see, there's even a white front panel that suits the size of the gadget.
With Apple's September 9 event just a week away, more and more iPhone 6 related leaks are appearing. Today we see another video of a fully assembled 4.7-inch iPhone 6 from leaked parts. Previously, we saw a similar leaked video with a similar device made from leaked parts that powered on.
The video below shows off a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 with white and black front displays as well as the protruding rear camera lens. The device in the video has a space gray shell similar to the one that was leaked last week.
While the next-gen iPhone is expected to get a number of hardware and software improvements, its design will resemble the look of the previous generations of Apple's handsets. Of course, iPhone 6 is larger and has got special holes for the antenna on the back and a protruding camera lens, however, you can still recognize it among rival smartphones.
