With the launch of Series 2 Cards for Injustice Arcade, Raw Thrills is issuing a software update kit to support Series 2 card scanning during game play. Series 2 Cards consist of updated visual designs for 100 hero and villain cards as well as 10 new & super rare team cards, all available in both standard and foil card variants, totaling 220 cards in all. A banner with accompanying stand is included to showcase Series 2 set details to players. In addition to this bulletin, a mini marquee translite and a QR decal are also included in the kit to update the cabinet graphics for Series 2.
It is very important to correctly align the player console with the main body of Ring Toss, before latching together the 2 components. Failure to properly align the console and main body may affect the operation of the game and the dispensing of the rings. Depending on variances in floor level and other factors, it may be necessary to lift up slightly on the console in order to make level with the main body, before latching the 2 components together.
Notice: When using the Genuine Authorized Stern Shaker Motor Kit #502-5027-01 on Spike 1 and Spike 2 system games, it is required that the Cabinet Node Capacitor Kit be installed. This additional capacitor prevents mysterious SLAM TILT switch activations from occurring.

Хо́рхе Фернандо Киро́га Рами́рес (; род. , ) — боливийский политический деятель, президент страны в 2001—2002 годах.

Биография
В 1981 году окончил Техасский университет A&M по специальности промышленная инженерия, стал первым главой государства — выпускником этого университета. После этого работал в корпорации IBM в Остине, одновременно приобретая степень магистра в Университете св. Эдварда. После этого Кирога со своей женой-американкой Джинджер вернулся на родину.

Был избран на пост вице-президента Боливии в 1997 году, победив на выборах в тандеме с бывшим диктатором Уго Бансером. В возрасте 41 года он стал самым молодым вице-президентом в истории страны.

Занял пост президента Боливии, когда Бансер сложил свои полномочия по состоянию здоровья (бывший диктатор умер через год после отхода от власти). Хорхе Кирога занимал пост президента с 1 июня 2001 (присягу принес 7 августа) до завершения конституционного срока президентства Бансера.

Вскоре после вступления в должность Кирога заявил корреспонденту журнала New Yorker: «Мы [Боливия] будем центром жизни Южной Америки». Он был убежден, что экспорт газа будет способствовать подъему экономики, наконец будет построен трансконтинентальная магистраль, которая соединит Бразилию с Чили и пройдет через город Кочабамба, а также, что страной будет проложена оптоволоконная сеть.

В 2005 году Кирога баллотировался на пост президента страны как кандидат от новой правоцентристской коалиции, известной под названием Социальная и демократическая сила. Его главным оппонентом был Эво Моралес. Моралес победил, а Кирога занял второе место, набрав 28,6 % голосов избирателей.

Получил специальную награду Всемирного экономического форума в Давосе, Швейцария. Также работал консультантом Всемирного банка и Международного валютного фонда.

Является членом Мадридского клуба, группы более 80 бывших президентов и премьер-министров демократических государств, действующих в интересах демократического управления.

Great celebration of the 60 years of Cafés Novell full of exciting moments such as this commemorative video mapping.
This weekend Astrid and Xavi's wedding cake became the most spectacular thanks to projection mapping. A wedding cake of the latest trend, different from the traditional one with personalized animations projected on.
"El Somni del Drac", a video mapping show with music by Roger Subirana and projection mapping by Sílvia Isach on the Vilafranca del Penedès Festival. It has been one of the previous acts of the most typical village Festival that has caused more rage.
The traditional opening speech of the Palau-solità i Plegamans Festival this year was replaced by an inaugural show called "Medusa" inspired by the sea from the company Artristras and accompanied by a videomapping that reinforced its atmosphere to create more impact.
The birth of the Dragon is a theatrical and audiovisual show that presents the new Dragon of Capellades combining pyrotechnics, video mapping, music and other artistic disciplines.
Ribes de Freser has started the 2018 Festival in a terrifying way with an audiovisual show on the facade of the city hall inspired by the imaginary of the popular filmmaker Tim Burton. A video mapping that involves mystery, enigmas and darkness coinciding with the theme of the Festival, the summer version of Burton Christmas.
The impressive facade of Torre del Veguer was the scenery for the video mapping of the fascinating love story of Liliane and Kevin, a charming couple who loves to travel.
Coinciding with Saint John's day, SINOCA created the video mapping of Olesa de Montserrat's festivitie, a 3D mapping that travels back in time to show the origin of the town's anual celebration even as we know it today.

Q: How do I have specific text appear when a selection is made under kendo UI Combo box? I have a dropdownlist/combo box I made using Kendo UI for ASP .NET MVC4.
Now for each selection/choice I pick from the combo box, I want different text to appear for each choice. E.g. Choice 1 (The text underneath the combo box should be word 1), for choice 2 (the text reads word 2), etc...
I'm assuming I have to create a div for each different text I want to put underneath it but I keep getting errors. I'm not sure how to proceed. An example would be nice.
Thank you.
EDIT:
I found a javascript example that illustrates what I mean:
E.g. How would I take this example below and turn it around for Kendo UI? http://jsfiddle.net/b6ydm/

<select onChange="dropdownTip(this.value)" name="search_type" style="margin-right:10px;    margin-top:2px;">
<option selected="selected" value="fruit_search">fruits</option>
<option value="veggies_search">veggies</option>
<option value="animals_search">animals</option>
<option value="all_search">all</option>

A: E.g

  @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.ViewModel.sType)
                      .HtmlAttributes(new {@class = "DropDown"})
                      .DataTextField("Text")
                      .DataValueField("Value")
                      .BindTo(Model.sList)
                      .Events(onselect => onselect.Change("ChangeEvent"))
                      )

function ChangeEvent(e){
   var value = this.value();
   // Use the value of the widget
   if( value == "choice1"){
        $('#changingtext').text("word1");
   }
}

I guess you could do something similiar like that.

Breastplates or 'depositum' plates, as they are also known, were very much a decorative as well as a functional part of coffin hardware. From a functional point of view, this piece recorded the name of the deceased person, which made it vital from an identification perspective. But the design of the breastplate also could tell you so much more than just a person's name. It was a reflection of their status in life. Its design, particularly the colour also made a statement about how the living wanted to remember their loved one.
This breastplate design is classically Victorian.
How can we tell? First of all, it's big. By big we mean it measures 300mm in width by 430mm in length. The average sized Victorian breastplate in the Newman Brothers collection is actually 320mm by 420mm. Size is very much one indicator of a Victorian piece and this is really as big as they got during this period. Through time though, breastplates get significantly smaller and are referred to as nameplates, with the average nameplate measuring just 180mm in width by 80mm in length today.
Design is also key, and this one object really sums up a Victorian's attitude to death. First of all because it's big. Second it's bold and makes quite a statement, in this case, both in words and in design. The words quoted here 'The Spirit shall return unto God who gave it' are quoted from scripture, from Ecclesiasticus 12:7. This is a slightly ambiguous statement insofar as it reminds people of the fact that death is the 'equaliser' and you can't take your riches with you. In contrast, the Victorians, who were preoccupied with social standing, saw death as an opportunity to define their social standing, and their wealth really was on show.
This breastplate is stamped. It was produced in Newman Brothers' Stamp Shop using a machine called a 'drop stamp'. Drop stamps are, in essence, heavy metal weights powered by a motor and operated on a pulley system. Stamped products were also cheaper than their 'cast' counterparts. This is because less work was involved in their production and cheaper metals were often used. Although some stamped products would have involved the use of brass, this breastplate is tinplate, which was one of the cheaper materials that Newman Brothers used. This was then finished in the 'Blacking' shop. Blacking involved a technique of painting the breastplate black with a heavy lacquer, a technique known as 'black japanning'. It seems that black coffin fittings went out of fashion at Newman Brothers in the 1920s.
Japan Black is the name given to the lacquer used on iron and steel. At the time of its development the black colour which the lacquering process gave the finished product was something the West associated with Japan, hence the name. Japan Black used bitumen instead of the natural resins used in clear varnishing. The bitumen gave the finish its black colour.
When used as a verb japan means 'to finish in japan black'. Thus japanning and japanned are terms describing the process and its products. However, Newman Brothers never described the process as japanning in their catalogues. Instead, they listed their black range of products under the following terms: 'White and Black', 'Improved Black', 'Improved Black and Gold Enamelled' and 'Gold or any Fancy Colours', 'Gilt' or 'Gilt and Black'.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.
Placenta Growth Factor
An angiogenic protein belonging to the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor family of growth factors originally isolated and cloned from human placental cDNA library. There are four isoforms of PLGF 1-4 which result from alternative splicing. Placenta Growth Factor is secreted as a glycosylated homodimer which acts as a mitogen for endothelial cells, and its expression is markedly upregulated during hypoxia and in tissue inflammation and cancer.
Placental Function Tests
Methods used for the assessment of placental function.
Placental Extracts
Extracts prepared from placental tissue; they may contain specific but uncharacterized factors or proteins with specific activities.
Placental Hormones
Hormones produced by the placenta include CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, and PLACENTAL LACTOGEN as well as steroids (ESTROGENS; PROGESTERONE), and neuropeptide hormones similar to those found in the hypothalamus (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES).

Roanoke Star Highlighted as One of Virginia's Best Tourist Attractions
Wednesday, May 11, 2016 8:00 AM by David Aldridge
The iconic Roanoke Star has been recognized as one of Virginia's "Best 'Do Not Miss' Tourist Attractions" in the new Best of Virginia issue by Virginia Living magazine.
Located atop Mill Mountain in the heart of Virginia's Blue Ridge, the Roanoke Star was erected in 1949 and illuminated for the first time on November 23, 1949.
Sponsored by the Roanoke Merchants Association, the initial concept behind building the star was for it to serve as a seasonal, holiday decoration that would shine over the city during the holiday shopping season.
However, because of its immediate popularity, the Merchants Association and local community decided that the star should stay lit throughout the year.
Now, it stands as one of the most unique symbols in Virginia and is one of the first places visitors go when they arrive in Virginia's Blue Ridge.
Whether you're standing in awe of the 88.5 foot structure that's illuminated every night by over 2,000 feet of neon tubing, or taking in the breathtaking panoramic view from the overlook at the base of the Star, it's an unforgettable experience.
The Star, which is actually three stars, was constructed by Roy C. Kinsey and his three sons, Roy Jr., Bob and Warren.
Check out the following video and interview with Bob Kinsey to learn more about the creation of the Roanoke Star and how it became an "Accidental Icon."

A lady's personal accounts, 1751-1770
A lady's personal accounts, 1751–1770
A tailor's account book kept by W.T. Furniss of Epsom for the years 1820–1834 has been lent to Bourne Hall Museum by Mr. John Furniss for transcription. The entries are, in fact, overwritten on to an earlier journal of personal accounts kept by a lady for the years covering 1751–1770. We are not sure of the identity of this person or whether she was actually a member of the Furniss family, but they provide an interesting insight into a daughter of the middle class at this time. We are grateful to Ina Goodman for the following summary of these interesting pages.
Several pages of this old journal (owned by John Furniss) were devoted to some personal accounts of a lady, probably fairly young, as they started with an allowance from her 'mama' of £2 2s. 0d. in August 1751, and £2 2s. 0d. in October, but this was increased in December to £5 5s. 0d., and in January 1752 she received a payment of £19 15s. 0d., possibly to bring the total up to what was to be an allowance of £50 per annum paid quarterly. But mama soon got behind in her payments. Now and again she obviously made an effort and brought them up to date, but they soon fell into arrears and in 1762 (after which there is a gap) she was a good six months behind hand. In 1770, when few more entries were made, 'my mama' had become 'my mother' when she paid a year's allowance in January for the previous year.
In the meantime, about 1756, mama had obviously borrowed £30 from the daughter, who carefully recorded receiving £1 10s. 0d. interest each year. I get a very strong feeling that 'mama' was a gambler, who was sometimes lucky, but more often not!
The young lady also received dividends of £15 a year on some investments, so she was not at all hard up, and her expenditure entries appear very modest in comparison, though several pages of the debit accounts are missing. In 1751 she purchased materials such as 14 yards of poplin for £1 15s. 0d., 10 yards of black calimanco (a highly glazed material with a broad, slightly raised stripe in the same colour) for 10s. 0d., and 8 yards of superfine stuff for 10s. 0d.
It cost 6d. to have an apron starched and 2/9d for a shift and petticoat to be washed (only one in the whole year though!). Cotton stockings at 4/6d a pair, gloves at about 1/- a pair, or 2/- for French ones, and muslin for neck handkerchiefs and morning ruffles were further expenses, together with 9 yards of long lawn for £1 4s. 9d., 8½ yards of figured cotton for 18/-, and a paper of pins for 5d.
Two gowns were made for 6/-, and a half sacked petticoat for 5/-, against which 13/- seems a lot to pay for a pair of canvas jumps (a loose unboned bodice worn instead of stays), though the materials for the dresses and petticoat were probably those bought earlier.
The other recorded payments are also interesting. The young lady paid £2 12s. 6d. for the hire of a harpsichord, and 7/6d to have it tuned; she put 6d. a week in her 'Book Purse' presumably to pay for her library books, and paid 3d. a week for a girl's schooling. But over about a year (1752/3) she only records three times that she 'staid at Church and gave 1/-'. She also bought ½lb of tea 2/8d for a Mrs. Bell, a copper kettle 5/-, tiles for a chimney 13/-, a quire of blue paper 6d., 2 quires of brown paper 6d., and narcissus roots 8/-.
Several pages have been cut out here and the record resumes in 1757, by which time her expenditure had changed a little. She bought oranges at 1d each, at least 3 times, a paper hat 1/-, a chip hat 1/8d, 2 'trowells' 10d, 45 shades for the garden (what could these be?) 4/7d, 2 Delft garden pots 4/- and 2 dozen green garden sticks. It would seem that she had taken up gardening and she paid a gardener 14/-, but there is no indication as to how long a period he worked for that.
She seems to have paid several visits as she records various payments to other people's servants, and some travelling expenses: 1/8d to London, 7d for the turnpike, 3d for the ferry. She also paid 2/7d for two foreign letters. There is not much mention of clothes in this year: 2 pairs of pumps 11/- and a pair of shoes 5/-, a pair of gloves 1/3d, and what seems like the makings of an indoor cap. Snuff at 2d. makes a solitary appearance – was the lady feeling her age?
There the accounts stop, with the exception of three credit entries in 1770, and that is all we know of this lady. No name – only five and a bit pages of her handwriting, and much of that overwritten in 1828, possibly by a descendant who was certainly in the tailoring trade. Incidentally her writing and most of her spelling was a good deal better and easier to read than her nineteenth century successor's. It would be interesting to know what she looked and sounded like, and where she lived, though that was almost certainly in Epsom somewhere.


The municipality of Epidaurus (8,115 inhabitants in 2011, 33,810 ha) was formed in the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the two former municipalities of Asklipieio (Ασκληπιείο, 4,804 inh.) and Epidaurus (3,887 inh.).
The former municipality of Asklipieio (seat at Lygourio, Λυγουριό, 2,678 inh.) is named for the sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus, which is situated on its territory. The ancient theater of Epidaurus, one of the best preserved in Greece, is famous for its excellent acoustics.
The flag of the former municipality of Asklipeío was dark blue with its emblem, including a representation of the ancient theater of Epidaurus and of God Asklepios (Kokkonis website).

Marko Lehanka
*1961 Herborn (Hessen), lives and works in Frankfurt and Butzbach
Project: Blume für Münster
There is something soothing about looking at flowers, writes Sigmund Freud; they know neither emotions nor conflict. Münster's venerable Prinzipalmarkt, however, is currently home to a flower that, high up on a pole, has petals made of surfboards cut in half and tells muddled stories – all of which end in death.
The center of the blossom comprises a monitor and speaker connected to a computer. Marko Lehanka has developed a software program that generates stories set in Münster and starring the city's inhabitants as protagonists. First names, family names, and street names from the city's telephone book are fed into the computer, and a weather station provides meteorological data that are incorporated in each tale. In this work, as in his entire œuvre, Lehanka uses the local as his model for the global – "I also live in Münster – but in Butzbach-Münster." The conclusion of the stories is predetermined: they all end with the death of the characters. However, this should not be hold against the flower with its black, cold heart, since killing off the characters is the most logical way for the computer to finish one tale and move on to the next. The speaker may laconically stammer out one death after another, but considering the constant stream of information to which we are subjected in everyday urban life, the flower's muddled talk might make more sense than one is tempted to think upon first hearing and thus testifies to the subtle humor of the artist and programmer Marko Lehanka.
Marko Lehanka's world is trivial, and the beholder does not only recognise his/her everyday life in his works, but the banal character of events, which, at first glance, is a surprise. Since 1991 he has produced several series of 'Beer bottles', which are embossed with the typical fragments of sentences we hear in drinking bouts: all areas of life covered. The persiflage is another typical stylistic feature of Lehanka's art. He designed a room in the Museum of Modern Art (MMK) Frankfurt in the year 2000, where he showed for example a construction inspired by Albrecht Dürer's 'Bauernsäule' (1525), with the same title, however not crowned by a murdered peasant, but by a farmer, casually smoking a cigarette. Lehanka studied at Städelschule in Frankfurt from 1985 to 1990, and was awarded the Villa Romana Prize in Florence in 1993. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 2001, where he arranged an installation around the 'Bauernsäule' in the Italian Pavilion. Lehanka frequently uses improvisation and spontaneous ideas, which either become an integral component of his work, or whose spirit inspires his action or performance. The artist and his alternating assistants from the 'Mädcheninstitut Lehanka', which he founded in 1993, often move along the boundary between nonsense and absurdity. Lehanka uses many different artistic media, and has always been an expert in style, and an excellent observer of everyday life, which he knows to encounter with humour.


This month my students worked a variety of components of healthy living: safety, lifestyle, healthy eating, and not making unhealthy choices (drinking alcohol).
We started out by watching Nate's video on Healthy Living at the beginning of the month. He touched upon eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercise, but really focused on safety items that each first grader could do to. He explained by making safe choices, they could avoid being hurt and therefore stay healthy. He spoke of ways my first graders could easily make safe choices such as always buckling their seat belt, wearing a helmet when they ride their bike, and tying their shoelace so they don't trip on them (I was really happy to hear him telling them this this as learning to tie their shoes is continuing project with many of my first grade students).
After his video we brainstormed different ways to be safe and the students made a google slide identifying one way to be safe and imported a picture and colored their background. Next we learned about healthy eating, the food groups, and the food pyramid. The students independently made a slide talking about the food groups, importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, and limiting unhealthy foods, and imported a background image onto their slide. We then learned about the importance of exercise and not only does it makes you fit and stronger, but well oxygenated blood getting to your brain helps you to think and learn better. The students again independently made a slide with what they learned about how exercise helps you be healthy, and selected and imported a background for their slide to go with what they wrote about.
We then studied the FAAR lessons on alcohol and their effects on a young person's brain. This was an area that did require quite a bit of scaffolding and modification for the first graders. I began by talking about how our whole body is connected by thin threads called nerves. When they bend their finger, their brain is sending the message along the nerves to the muscles in their finger, telling the finger to bend. Their brain also has neurotransmitters (like nerves) that pass information between the different parts of the brain. When they eat healthy and exercise the neurotransmitters work well, but if a young person drinks alcohol, the neurotransmitters slow down and don't pass messages to their body or brain as well. We then watched the FAAR videos and had lessons on alcohol's affects on the cerebellum, hippocampus, and cerebral cortex. At the end of each video and lesson I had the students write on their whiteboard how they thought that specific area of the brain we had learned about would be affected by alcohol. For cerebellum they summarized alcohol's affect could cause them to fall; the hippocampus would be affected by them not remembering of forgetting things; and the alcohol could affect the cerebral cortex resulting in changing their feelings and making them being sad or angry. We did an interactive writing lesson to plan out the information about how alcohol can affect the parts of their brain (in first grade language), and why young people should not drink. Each student keyed in their slide and then selected a 'no drinking alcohol' background to insert.
They healthy lessons this month helped my students learn about healthy eating, lifestyles, and safety, as well as why they should not drink. The children were very clear, even when we began that "alcohol is bad for kids", "only grownups are allowed to drink alcohol because it can make kids sick". They lesson helped them to develop some understanding that their brain has different parts and how alcohol can affect them. It also helped them to develop an understanding about neurotransmitters and how they pass information to different parts of the brain, and how alcohol can make them slow down.
Below is a link to a slideshow that has all of my students slideshows on healthy living and how alcohol affects a young person's brain.

I never met a bowl of pasta I didn't like. Dried or fresh, stuffed or sauced (the pasta that is) I love it all. Making fresh pasta is easier than you may think. It's fun- and the kneading will help keep those triceps nice and toned 🙂 Here are the results of a few hours of fooling around with pasta dough and iMovie.

Q: How to process HIPAA 834 EDI File? I have to parse and validate HIPAA 834 EDI file. I have found out a tool "EDI Validator" for this.
EDI Validator Tool: http://www.etasoft.com/ev.htm
I am unable to get sample HIPAA X12 834 EDI file which can be processed with this tool from net.
Please help me in getting that sample file. Is there any better tool than mentioned above?

A: Here is a link to a sample 834 file: PDF
It is missing the ISA and GS envelopes, but if you are unfamiliar with EDI enveloping you might want to do a little more research.  (Please note, this was the 2nd result from Googling "sample 834 edi file".  There's many more results)
Another tool I use frequently is EDI Notepad.  This will give you a few different views of the data to help give you some context.
There are hundreds of translators out there.  What are you doing with the parsed data? Converting it to XML? Inserting it into a DB?  Do you need to generate a 997?

Marketing is a great tool to enhance revenues and developing a business but it could even be a double-edged sword. Yesterday, SKY Italia decided to promote an initiative to push the AS Roma supporters to go to the Olimpico stadium for the Europa League match between Roma and Lyon. Apparently, this was a great strategic move for the pay-tv media company. Due to the early elimination of the other Italian teams from this international competition an eventual defeat of AS Roma could decrease SKY's revenues even more.
This is the reason why SKY decided to offer a 50% discount to those that are its customers for more than one year. Therefore, football lovers that have a contract with SKY have the opportunity to purchase tickets in Monte Mario and Tribuna Tevere at half price. A single person can buy up to 4 tickets for this game.
Although this offer makes the AS Roma fans happy, it disappointed the aficionados of the other Italian clubs who flooded the social networks threatening SKY to cancel their membership if the same offer will not be made for their clubs as well. Other people were asking themselves if those that purchased the ticket for this game prior to the offer will get reimbursed. However, the tickets sale for the Europa League match Roma-Lyon is going slowly, 21,000 people will support the giallorossi at the Olimpico stadium.
The big clash Roma-Lyon will take place on March 16th, at 4:05 pm (EST). Are you planning to watch this match? Here some info for you!

Home Sports Volleyball pulls off tough win
Volleyball pulls off tough win
University of Miami women's volleyball improved its record to 2-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 7-4 overall after defeating Clemson in a five-game nail biter 3-2 (30-25, 30-32, 28-30, 30-25, 15-8) in UM's ACC home opener at the Knight Sports Complex Friday.
The Hurricanes, after initially trailing 2-1, rallied in the fourth and fifth games to hand the Tigers (7-4, 2-1) their first conference loss of the season.
"The key for us was coming back in game four," Head Coach Nicole Lantagne Welch said. "We just decided that we were not going to hand it over, so we raised our level of play and carried that momentum into game five."
The Hurricanes are 3-1 this season when playing in the fifth and deciding game.
"We like the fifth game," Lantagne Welch said. "I'm very proud of the way that we have been able to comeback in late-game situations."
In the victory, Miami had four players total double-digit kills, five with double-digit digs and three players registered double-doubles.
Senior Karla Johnson and junior Jill Robinson continued their steady play. Johnson recorded a career-high 18 digs, 17 kills, three service aces and four total blocks. Robinson led all players with 58 assists and posted a career-high 16 digs.
The 'Canes received a stellar effort from red-shirt sophomore Ciara Michel, who had five solo blocks to go along with three block assists and 11 kills.
Sophomore Michelle Bruin contributed a personal-best 16 digs, while freshman Lauren Rinderknecht tallied her first double-double of her career with 11 kills and 14 digs.
"Michelle really secured our passing and Frannie [Savage] was awesome in her attack," Lantagne-Welch said. "Sara Duncan also came off the bench in games four and five and showed really aggressive play."
In front of an announced crowd of 822, the Hurricanes took the first game 30-25 before falling 30-32 in a dramatic second game and 28-30 in the third game.
Down 2-1, a rejuvenated Miami squad fell behind 12-6 before a 6-2 run tied the score at 15. The Hurricanes pulled away with five straight points for a 20-15 lead. Clemson would close to within two, but the Tigers could not keep the momentum as the Hurricanes claimed a 30-25 victory.
During the final game Miami jumped to a 5-1 lead before the Tigers made the score 7-7. The 'Canes capitalized on four consecutive Clemson errors while posting four blocks near the end of the game to take a 15-8 game and match victory.
Sunday, however, the 'Canes blew a 2-1 lead against Georgia Tech and lost in five games. Georgia Tech won the deciding game 15-9.
Miami returns to action on Friday when it takes on North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C., at 7 p.m.

Trump pardons former national security adviser Flynn
Michael Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to FBI agents investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
By KYLE CHENEY and JOSH GERSTEIN
Updated: 11/25/2020 04:25 PM EST
Outgoing President Donald Trump pardoned his former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday for lying to FBI agents investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon," the president tweeted. "Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!"
Trump's move is an extraordinary intervention on behalf of an ally who pleaded guilty in 2017 and has spent the last two years fighting to overturn his original plea. It was not immediately clear whether Trump's pardon also included Flynn's failure to register as an agent of Turkey in 2016, a crime to which he admitted as part of his plea agreement.
Before reversing course, Flynn initially cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller for nearly two years, including by providing evidence of potential obstruction of justice by the president. He sat for 19 interviews with prosecutors.
Trump had long been expected to pardon Flynn, pummeling prosecutors and the FBI for their handling of the case, part of a concerted attack on the investigations against him. Trump has falsely accused the FBI and Justice Department of mounting a "coup" against him in the years after his election. Trump also repeatedly attacked prosecutors and FBI officials involved in the Flynn case, even though he fired Flynn for lying to both the bureau and Vice President Mike Pence in early 2017.
Though the pardon was long in the making, Trump allowed Flynn's legal drama to play out for more than three years, waiting until after the Nov. 3 election to issue clemency, a signal of how politically explosive the case has become. Flynn has become a revered figure to Trump's base, and Flynn's attorney — conservative firebrand Sidney Powell — has recently become a prominent Trump surrogate promoting baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud against Trump.
Top Democrats have already warned they would consider any effort by Trump to pardon his associates to be an abuse of power, akin to the one the House impeached him for almost a year ago. After the pardon was issued, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler slammed the decision as an erosion of the rule of law, meant to reward an ally for resisting an investigation that involved Trump himself.
Republicans, though, celebrated the decision. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows called it a "well deserved day for an American patriot."
The pardon comes as a federal judge in Washington D.C., Emmet Sullivan, is weighing whether to allow Trump's Justice Department to dismiss the charge against Flynn. Attorney General William Barr authorized the dismissal amid Flynn's ongoing legal fight, alarming DOJ veterans worried that he had distorted the process to benefit a political ally of the president.
Sullivan, however, declined to immediately dismiss the case and instead sought an outside adviser, who argued that the Justice Department's legal argument for dismissing the case should be rejected as a pretext for aiding a Trump ally. Sullivan has been weighing a final decision since late September, when he held a hearing and learned that Powell had been in contact with Trump about the case. Sullivan has also raised alarms about documents DOJ relied on in the case that appeared to have been altered, though Justice Department officials insisted the alterations were inadvertent.
It's unclear if Sullivan will immediate end the matter or seek further inquiry about his options, given concerns he raised that Flynn may have lied under oath regarding the circumstances of his plea agreement.
Trump's pardon is just his latest act of clemency for a close associate implicated in the Russia probe. He also attacked Justice Department prosecutors, including former members of Mueller's team, who helped secure the conviction of longtime adviser and friend Roger Stone for lying to congressional investigators and intimidating a witness. In July, Trump commuted Stone's sentence but has not issued a full pardon, though Stone has pleaded for one in recent days. Trump's direct efforts on behalf of his associates threw the Justice Department into turmoil earlier this year, prompting Barr to issue what appeared to be a veiled threat to resign.
Nevertheless, Trump kept up his attacks on the Justice Department and the FBI, and Barr has remained quiet.
Flynn served as Trump's national security adviser for just 24 days after Trump took office in 2017. Trump removed him amid a clamor of questions about Flynn's contacts with Russia's ambassador to the United States in the final days of 2016, while the outgoing Obama administration was leveling sanctions against Russia for the Kremlin's election interference.
Nearly 10 months after Flynn's departure, he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about those interactions, and admitted that he had also lobbied on behalf of the Turkish government — while advising Trump — without disclosing it.
But Flynn's allies long maintained that Flynn had been set up by the FBI and tricked into pleading guilty. And when Sullivan, the judge in Flynn's case, seemed poised in late 2018 to sentence Flynn to prison, Flynn shelved his cooperation strategy and fired his legal team.
He then fired his legal team and hired Powell, a Fox News favorite who once wrote favorably about Sullivan but has since relentlessly attacked him as biased. Flynn later moved to rescind his guilty plea and accused the FBI and Justice Department of entrapping him in order to pursue a case against Trump.
Flynn, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Barack Obama, first drew the eye of the FBI for his December 2015 visit to Moscow, where he was seated at a table with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a dinner hosted by the Russian TV network RT. When the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into figures connected to the Trump campaign in July 2016 — a probe codenamed Crossfire Hurricane — Flynn was one of the four Trump allies specifically identified as a potential threat.
Though documents disclosed amid Flynn's effort to dismiss his case showed the FBI had been preparing to close the Flynn portion of the investigation by late 2016, the calls with Kislyak led the bureau to reverse course. On Jan. 5, 2017, Obama discussed the case with his national security team and asked whether he should be concerned about sharing sensitive information with the incoming administration. Obama had previously warned Trump against hiring Flynn, but Trump ignored the entreaty.
Trump fired Flynn just weeks into his new administration after being informed of Flynn's alleged lies to both the FBI and Vice President Mike Pence, who said on TV that Flynn did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak.
Flynn was once expected to be a key witness at the trial last year of his former business partner, Bijan Rafiekian--better known as Kian. Indeed, that was the anticipated testimony that led Sullivan to put off his sentencing in December 2018.
However, following Flynn's change of counsel, a heated dispute erupted between the new team and prosecutors about Flynn's account. Prosecutors abruptly dropped plans to call Flynn, saying he seemed to be backing away from admissions in his plea about filing false declarations with the Justice Department about his Turkey-related work.
After a trial, jurors quickly convicted Kian — a California businessman and former George W. Bush appointee — of scheming to act as an unregistered foreign agent in connection with the project spearheaded by Flynn and targeting a Turkish dissident in the U.S., Fethullah Gulen.
However, Kian's fortunes reversed two months later when the judge who oversaw the trial issued a rare ruling throwing out the convictions, saying evidence of his guilt was lacking. Despite Barr's conclusion that the prosecution of Flynn was unjustified, the case against Kian continues, as prosecutors press an appeal of the judge's ruling tossing out the case.
Trump had long flirted with pardoning Flynn. In fact, overtures from Trump's personal attorney in 2017 figured into Mueller's report cataloguing potential obstruction of justice by the president. Though Trump routinely attacked other witnesses who provided damaging information to Mueller, he never directed his fury at Flynn.

Deference and the Constitutionality of Health Care Reform
By David Bernstein on August 22, 2010 6:14 am in Constitutional Law, Health Care
As constitutional challenges to the new health care law work their way up the courts, proponents of the the law's constitutionality will inevitably argue that the Supreme Court should defer to Congress's understanding of its own constitutional powers, especially when it comes to such significant legislation. As early as 1922, the Supreme Court wrote, "Whatever amounts to more or less constant practice, and threatens to obstruct or unduly to burden the freedom of interstate commerce is within the regulatory power of Congress under the commerce clause and it is primarily for Congress to consider and decide the fact of the danger and meet it." This message was reiterated with greater force in the late 1930s, when the Supreme Court gradually abandoned policing the limits of the Commerce Power.
As a matter of constitutional construction, I think there is a lot to be said for the courts adopting a general posture of deference to the elected branches on constitutional matters, but only if a reasonable observer would be satisfied that Congress and the Executive took their duty to ensure the constitutionality of the legislation they passed seriously. An example of where the Court could have exhibited more deference than it did was United States v. Morrison, where Congress collected substantial (though not incontrovertible) evidence that the Violence Against Women Act was a proper exercise of Congress's Section 5 power under the 14th Amendment to guarantee equal protection of the laws.
From what I can tell, though, Congress and the Obama Administration treated the idea that the health care law needed to be within Congress's enumerated powers with thinly-veiled contempt. Most famously, when Speaker Pelosi was asked last Fall where the Constitution gives Congress the power to enact an "individual mandate," she replied with a mocking "are you serious? Are you serious?"
I didn't follow the health care debate extremely closely, but I seem to remember reading that other Congressmen, and some Administration officials, also acted befuddled, bewildered, or with contempt when constituents or journalists asked them about the constitutionality of the health care legislation. Not to mention the refrain that no one will know what's in the bill until its final passage, which hardly inspires confidence that its constitutionality was properly considered, and the shifting rationales that have been used to justify the individual mandate's constitutionality.
I thought it would be fun, and potentially useful to litigants, if VC readers would provide us in the comments below with as many examples as possible, with citations, of members of the executive and legislative branches disclaiming, mocking, etc., their duty to determine the constitutionality of the legislation they were enacting.
UPDATE: Many commenters are confusing the issue of whether the Court should defer to Congress's assertion of the scope of its own authority with the issue of whether the Court should ultimately uphold the health care law, on which I've expressed no opinion. I could explain this in detail, but instead I'll just point out what seems to me to be obvious: the Court could decide that it shouldn't defer to Congress, i.e., it should not presume that Congress was acting within its enumerated powers, but still ultimately conclude that Congress was indeed acting constitutionally. But I think there is no valid to defer to Congress's (or the Executive's) purported constitutional judgment if the relevant actors didn't, in fact, spend much if any mental energy thinking about it.

Russia's foreign policy Russia globalisation finance system diplomacy
What is the power of states today? What determines their might? Money, weapons, or the ability to manage information? Or is it something else? These questions were at the center of discussion at the international conference "Russia in the 21st-Century World of Power" held in December 2012 to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy and the tenth anniversary of Russia in Global Affairs. The intensive discussions proved rich in approaches and ideas, yet they covered only a small part of this vast subject. They inspired us to delve more into the subject, and this issue largely follows up on the ideas expressed at the conference.
Military power of states still determines a lot in interstate relations, yet this alone is not enough as it cannot compensate for a state's weakness in other areas, Alexei Arbatov writes. Sergei Dubinin shares this view and maintains that imperial policies of the past, based on military-political expansion, have long become outdated; today a state's position is determined by its economic power and efficiency. Yevgeny Primakov discusses ideas and images that shape the perception of a country by other actors in international relations. The patriarch of Russian politics writes that over the last two decades Russia has lost much in the eyes of other countries, as it has been carried away by mistaken liberal postulates. These three articles further develop the ideas expressed by their authors at the conference. Other reports at the conference are available on our website www.globalaffairs.ru.
The power of states in the international arena increasingly depends on how confident they feel at home. No country can isolate itself from external effects. Mikhail Vinogradov summarizes tumultuous events in Russian politics in 2011-2012. He comes to the conclusion that the old political model has run out of steam, but no one has been able to offer anything new instead; so the uncertainty will continue. Nikolay Spasskiy warns against "rocking the boat." Whatever flaws the modern Russian state system may have, its collapse would result in much more serious consequences.
What happens when changes occur spontaneously is demonstrated by the Middle East – the Arab Spring continues, while doubts about its results keep growing, including among those who initiated it. Pyotr Stegny writes about what has happened to the Arab World and how to minimize the damage. Alexander Aksenyonok, in his analysis of the situation in Syria, says that the failure of the international community to properly respond to the crisis proves that the old approaches are no longer efficient and that a new approach, free of ideological bias, is needed. He emphasizes that external factors are inseparable from internal dynamics. Mark Katz draws an interesting conclusion that the turmoil in the Middle East has diminished the importance of the main problem of the region that persisted for decades – the Israeli/Palestinian conflict – for the broader politics of the Arab World.
When it comes to global politics, everyone habitually speaks of Moscow-Washington relations, although today they are far from being central in the international agenda, as they used to be a quarter of a century ago. Andranik Migranyan analyzes the current state of U.S.-Russian relations which he describes as working and normal. Breakthroughs are nowhere in sight, but pragmatic cooperation between the two countries will continue. Alexey Fenenko looks ahead to the future and comes to the conclusion that the burden of the past will continue to hinder Russia and the U.S. from moving towards a truly new agenda. Yelena Chernenko discusses one of the issues of this agenda – information or cyber security, which is quickly moving to the top in the list of priorities for major countries. Whereas in classical wars there were at least some rules of conduct adopted by most players, cyberspace is still more like an arena for fighting with no rules. Andrei Zhuravlev and Yekaterina Kuznetsova look into new areas for cooperation between Russia and the European Union that would help the parties, now lagging behind America and Asia in influence, to multiply their power.
Much is said today about whether the balance of power in the world, lost with the end of the Cold War and the disappearance of bipolarity, can be restored. Nikolai Kosolapov analyzes the BRICS association, which many analysts view as a possible counterweight to the West. The author doubts that the association's member-states are interested in a confrontation, yet he does not rule out such a scenario – but only if more fundamental changes take place in the world. Vassily Kashin discusses how serious Russia's concerns are about China. Officially, relations between the two countries are almost perfect, but economic disparities bring about uncertainty. Central Asia is one of areas where the interests of Moscow and Beijing intersect.
Valentin Bogatyrev presents a view from Bishkek on the Collective Security Treaty Organization. He continues our series of articles about how Moscow's allies view the CSTO. Another such article was contributed by Sergei Minasyan, who explains why Armenia values the Alliance.
Our next issue will discuss the current state of Russian society, the boiling Middle East, the Arctic, East Asia, defense budgets in the era of reduced spending, and other pressing problems.

Roupell Street plans prompt flood of objections
By Jim Dunton2017-06-27T02:03:00+01:00
Victorian Society leads pack as hundreds voice fears over modern addition to historic street
Proposals to build a modern extension to a Victorian school in one of south London's most historic streets have met with a tsunami of objections.
Last month Building reported on a Tony Fretton Architects-designed scheme to add a new canteen and inner courtyard onto the Roupell Street base of the Education First language school, which is housed in the grade II-listed former St Andrew's and St John's Primary School.
While the scheme would require the demolition of a listed wall and railings, it would also be a new intervention on a street famed for its 1830s "butterfly" roofed artisan houses, around 70 of which are listed at grade II.
As of this week, more than 450 objections to the proposals had been received by local planning authority Lambeth Council, compared with only a handful in support of the scheme.
Most opponents expressed anger over the impact of the Tony Fretton plans on Roupell Street's existing appearance, which is protected by the Waterloo and Roupell Street Conservation Areas. Some also referenced the loss of views of the school that construction of the canteen would entail.
Among those objecting was the Victorian Society, which reserved particular criticism for the design of the proposals, rather than the principle of a new building fronting the street – as the canteen site had previously housed an infants' hall damaged by wartime bombing.
"Our concerns stem chiefly from the architectural expression of the proposed structure, which is envisaged as a two-storey glazed and zinc-clad structure behind a grid-like veneer of brick," it said.
"We understand the rationale behind this approach, with the resultant roofline to some extent referencing both the former hall and the roofline of the nineteenth-century buildings elsewhere on Roupell Street.
"However, the CGIs suggest the result would lack the clarity of form of the previous hall, and that it would appear overly – even wilfully – assertive, and therefore detract from the tightly defined character of two conservation areas."
The society concluded that the scheme's "large and prominent expanses of zinc cladding and glazing would be incongruous" and that the street required "something more responsive to the prevailing characteristics of the conservation area".
Neighbourhood organisation the Association of Waterloo Groups said the proposals failed to meet fundamental protection goals for the quality of the borough's built environment, as set out in the 2015 Lambeth Plan.
It added that the design of the proposals was "completely out of keeping with the surrounding residential houses" with a motif that "disregards the context of the site".
The umbrella body also said that the scheme was clearly designed to drive business at the school, and would therefore increase traffic to the site.
The current scheme is the second time EF language school has sought to add new facilities to the site. Earlier proposals were withdrawn in 2015 after resident opposition.
According to documents lodged with Lambeth, the Tony Fretton extension presents "an opportunity to restore the historic streetscape of Roupell Street, characterised by its masonry facades and repeated gable end frontages".
The supporting papers say the extension would "add to a sense of completeness of the street scene, a role previously established by the former infants hall, simultaneously offering transparency through to the courtyard that would be lost if the hall were to be a mere replica of the original building".
Among the five consultation responses that supported the scheme, one – unnamed – commenter said the proposals were "a perfectly intelligently designed addition to a quite lovely but perfectly ordinary street, remarkable simply for its preservation in such a central area of London".
The writer said they did not believe the original occupants of the street's houses would have objected to the proposals, but said: "Speculators and new owners worried about a return on their investment, however, are probably a different matter."
Lambeth Council has yet to publish a consultation response on the scheme's appearance from government heritage adviser Historic England. The authority has also yet to set a determination date for the application.
