Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has successfully completed their AEHF-4 spacecraft on-orbit test (A4 OOT) that demonstrated the craft has met all requirements.
A4 OOT was the first test to have all six AEHF operational terminals communicating over XDR. The terminal types include AEHF SMART-T, FAB-T, MMPU, NMT, Global ASNT and ACF-IC2.
The addition of AEHF-4 to the constellation provides a new capability of global extended data rate (XDR) communications. XDR communications provides data rates to its users five times higher than medium data rate (MDR) and 350 times higher than low data rate (LDR) communications. Milstar, the predecessor to AEHF, uses both LDR and MDR communication modes to directly support the warfighter.
This was the last step before control authority of the satellite is handed over to the U.S. Air Force SMC where it will join the combined AEHF-Milstar constellation.
The AEHF constellation provides global, survivable, highly secure and protected communications for strategic command and tactical warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms. The jam-resistant system also serves international partners including Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Mike Cacheiro, VP of Protected Communications for Military Space, said this is a major milestone to celebrate with the customers at Space and Missiles Systems Center (SMC), the U.S. Air Force and teammates Northrop Grumman, L3 Communications and Aerojet. As the company turns the focus on launching AEHF-5 in June, one month early, congratulations to everyone involved in completing this one of a kind, high-performance network in space. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the AEHF program.

''The Whispering Tundra Scarf''Knit from 100% pure qiviut 2 ply lace weight yarn.This is one of the first scarves i made and fell in love with the soft qiviut yarn.The simple design makes for easy knitting on the go. Knit with a repeat lace stitch that's easy to remember.
The beads are added to the hem strung in groups of 3 so they hang down over the edge and beads are added in a random fashion over the rest of the scarf again in groups of 3.
I have knit scarf twice. The very first time i knit with lace weight 2ply qiviut on a 5mm needle, follow the pattern below on 5mm's . The lace was very open and floaty
(i think i prefer it that way) the second time i knit it using 3.75mm gives a closer stitch that is more defined and firmer but requires 3 balls-66 grams or 480 yards.
If you want a floaty open lace then 5mm's is the way to go !
Supplies: 44 grams - 2 balls of lace weight qiviut-you can use our 'magical qiviut'' yarn or ANY of our 2ply lace weight blends. To see our yarns vistit our site:www.cottagecraftangora.com
Has to be a 2ply lace weight though to get the same lacey effect !
1 pair of 5.00 mm straight needles.
Size 6 pony beads- 4gram bag.
To begin: cast on 37 sts. scarf will measure about 8'' inches wide.
Rows 1-4 Knit.
5Th Row: (rs):k1,*(k2tog)twice,(yf,k1) 3 times,yf,(sl1,k1,psso)twice,k1;rep from * to end.
6th Row:purl.
Repeat rows 5 and 6 a total of 3 times more.Then rep all 12 rows until all your yarn is used up.
Leave a small amount for the Bind/cast off.
Sew in any loose ends. Apply beads as you like for your own personal touch!
ABBREVIATIONS: yf=yarn forward at front of needle.
(k2tog)Twice=knit the next 2 sts together twice.
(yf,k1)3 times=yarn forward at the front of needle(lay yarn over top of needle),then knit the next stitch.
(sl1,k1,psso)twice=slip the next st to opposite needle without knitting it,then knit the next st,then pass the lipped st over the stitch just worked,do this twice.

The worst of the eastern Iowa storms Monday afternoon missed the southeast corner of the state. But wet weather up north will have an impact here in the coming days.
The Mississippi River dipped below the 15-foot flood stage over the weekend for the first time since mid-April, after its most recent crest June 5. The sight of the river in its banks, however, will be short lived.
Monday night, the river was 3 inches from flood stage.
By the middle of the week, the river is expected to top 18 feet and reach 18.9 feet next Monday.
While the prediction factored in projected rainfall Monday and for the next 24 hours, National Weather Service Quad Cities meteorologist Mike McClure said the region can expect heavy rainfall through Wednesday.
"It's a fluid situation. � Pardon the pun there, so to speak," McClure said Monday afternoon, after much of the storms had passed. "As I mentioned, we've still got a few more days of this weather pattern. Rivers, obviously, being very sensitive to rain."
He said river levels will be adjusted as rainfall events occur. McClure said river forecasts are updated every six hours, if not more often, during high water and heavy rainfall.
Burlington received 0.59 inch of rain during a brief thunderstorm Monday afternoon, but daily totals farther north regularly reached 2 to 4 inches, according to NWS reports.
The Quad Cities received up to 6 inches Monday.
In addition to heavy rain, other areas due north also reported tornados, overturned semi trucks and flooded roadways. Southeast Iowa missed any major event, according to the NWS.
Levee concerns
Future flooding came as a surprise to area levee district officials, who have not recovered from the last flood.
Mark Ford, a Henderson County levee district official, said he learned Monday morning more flooding was on the way, but he hadn't had a chance to talk with other levee district officials, who were taking advantage of the dry weather to get into their fields.
But he said the levees should hold, given the current high water projections.
"We're comfortable with that (18.9-foot crest). Heck, we went through 22-foot, and 20-foot floods this year," he said. "I just wish it'd quit, you know, doing that to us."
Vicki Stoller, administrator of Two Rivers Levee and Drainage Association, agreed if the river sticks to the 18- to 19-foot range, the levees should be able to handle the water.
"If it just gets up to 18, we're good, we're fine. As I said before, we've got a good system, and since we've done the improvements on it, we've been tested repeatedly, and it's done well," Stoller said.
Stoller said, however, much will depend on where the rain falls and how much there is.
"There's a lot of the trustees that are just finishing up planting, or finishing up the second planting, replanting, and can't afford to do a third time," Stoller said. "So, you know, we're just kind of crossing our fingers and seeing where this next storm event will go."
Still recovering
Ford and Stoller each said pumps have been running nonstop since mid-April.
Stoller said one of the four districts the Two Rivers oversees had two-month electric bill of $77,000. The single district purchased a tanker of diesel for more than $25,000.
"We will have a lot of expenses because of this rain this spring," she said.
Stephanie Stuecker, Burlington's director of administrative services, said the city is still talking with the Federal Emergency Management Agency about whether it will be declared a disaster area in the wake of the floods and severe thunderstorms in April and May.
Stuecker said the city's flood-fighting bill in April was an estimated $130,000.
"I think that's probably on the low side," she said.
Whatever the final figure is, Stuecker hopes a meeting with FEMA officials Thursday will yield favorable results for the city in the form of financial aid.
Stuecker said if FEMA helps, 75 percent of the bill will be paid by the federal agency, with 10 percent coming from the state and 15 percent from the city.
The city also hopes to secure federal aid for damage sustained during a severe thunderstorm May 30. Des Moines County received a state disaster declaration for the May storms and flooding.
It will cost the city $67,255 to remove the downed and damaged trees alone. To expedite the cleanup, the city contracted with Skelley andamp; De Jaynes Tree Service for $52,100 and Stew's Lawn service for $15,155.

Working president of Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) Narayan Sawant said that the party believes in cultural greatness of Goa and "we are bound to make Marathi as state language."
He was addressing a meeting in Mapusa wherein party workers and executive members of Mapusa constituency were present. The meeting was called to discuss about candidate for Mapusa for the upcoming assembly election. Ponda MLA Lavoo Mamledar, Appa Teli, Ramesh Pankar, Bharat Toraskar, president of Mapusa block were present among others.
Addressing the meeting, Sawant claimed that for the last 53 years the party has been representing the state in the assembly. Referring to the party symbol lion, he said, "The dormant lion in the hearts of people of Goa has awakened and its roars are echoing everywhere in the state."
Party MLA and spokesperson Lavoo Mamledar alleged that "being in the government we have experienced how files moved by minister were held up and they were not allowed to exercise their powers. Therefore, we have decided to leave the alliance."
On selection of candidate, he said that "our party has a parliamentary board which will decide who will be the candidate for the constituency. The board will study the candidate on the basis of background and take into account views of party workers of the constituency."
During the meeting, interested candidates were asked to introduce themselves before the party workers and speak on their vision for Mapusa. The aspiring candidates, who spoke on the occasion, were former chairperson of MMC Armindo Braganza, Ashish Shirodkar, Prabhkar Vernekar, advocate Mahesh Rane, Shubhangi Vaigankar, Naresh Trivekar, Vinod Phadke.

She was also 11th in the 100-meter dash (12.84), just behind junior Colleen Bednar (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick), who clocked a time of 12.80 seconds. Bednar was also 11th in the long jump.
The other top-10 finishes belonged to freshman Destiny Prusky (Newton Falls, Ohio/Newton Falls) and junior Sammie Smith (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick). Prusky was fifth in the high jump, clearing 5' 3 ¾" to set a personal record, while Smith placed 10th in the 800-meter run in 2:23.80.

This hair reminds me of a fresh trip from the hair salon. As you can see I wore the materials version and I am totally diggin it.
I heard through the grapevine that Mandala was having a sale and immediately ran to their marketplace. Upon visiting I noticed so many markdowns, which if you are lacking in the accessories department like myself, definitely hop on this deal. You will find prices cuts as much as 70% and prices as low as 27L! While I went a bit overboard while on their marketplace, for amazing mesh high quality jewelry you just cant beat the deals.

I was able to snag a few gachas from Lazybones, Caboodle and as you can see Seul! I personally truly love this form fitting jumpsuit from Lazybones.

Benjamin Jealous
Minneapolis—January 27, 2017—More than 1,130 graduates, along with about 5,000 guests, attended Walden University's 57th Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, January 7, 2017, at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida. These newest graduates make Walden's international network of alumni more than 110,000 strong.
Benjamin Jealous, the youngest-ever president and CEO of the NAACP and a leader of successful state and local movements to ban the death penalty, outlaw racial profiling, defend voting rights, secure marriage equality and free wrongfully incarcerated people, was the keynote speaker.
"Today, you are officially more empowered to do great things than most people in our country ever will be. And with that great privilege comes great responsibility. That's what makes Walden so special—the way that a deep commitment to positive social change runs through this place," Jealous told the graduates.
"If nothing else, in the struggle to make the world a better place, to effect positive social change, through the victories and yes, the defeats, you will find the strength and joy of truly knowing who you are and why you are here," he said.
Several people in the Walden community were recognized and honored during commencement weekend, including:
Faculty Excellence Awards were presented to the following individuals:
Dr. Bever also received the Presidential Award for Faculty Excellence, which honors the faculty member who demonstrates unmatched dedication to the university, its mission and its vision, and exemplifies the Walden educator's role in empowering students to advance positive social change in their communities.
The graduates in attendance were part of a graduating class of more than 6,160 students—representing 50 states and 99 countries—who have completed bachelor's, master's, doctoral and education specialist degree programs at Walden in the past 6 months.
The Walden University community gathers to honor its graduating students twice a year at summer and winter commencement ceremonies, with many graduates and guests participating via live webcast.
For more than 45 years, Walden University has supported working professionals in achieving their academic goals and making a greater impact in their professions and their communities. Today, more than 52,600 students from all 50 states in the U.S. and more than 155 countries are pursuing their bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees online at Walden. The university offers more than 80 degree programs with more than 400 specializations and concentrations. Walden University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission. Walden is one of more than 70 institutions in 25 countries that comprise the Laureate International Universities network. For more information about Walden, visit www.WaldenU.edu.

if you read me you know i pretty much say no to all the ad inquiries. they're gross and i don't want it interfereing with my … artistic integrity? but at the same time, if american apparel calls me up a few weeks before my birthday with a SHOPPING SPREE in their waikiki store… well….. i guess just call me Hippie McHypocrite. after creeping through the one at ala moana for pieces to compliment my plain-ass-plain wardrobe i was stoked to see that the waikiki store totally has a whole bunch of different stuff….
i must have spent at least forty minutes pawing through all their little braided belts and wristbands and headbands and such. and hey! CONTRAST! that's so rad you can get it here.
i also fell in love with these helvetica shirts they have right now.
this is so not me but i wanted to get one anyway to just keep at my house for when you guys come over then i could dress you like my very own skipper doll.
i got that hoodie. say hello to my uniform for the next 6 months or so.
i have to go back for this faux leather hoodie thing. i already used up my entire allowance with t shirts and work sweaters. ps: i LOVE the unisex stuff – i don't understand why it fits so good with my huge boobs, but it just does. unisex for life!
later that week i watched my boyfriend kill it at the Mai Tai rumble
it was an incredible sight, really. The Deadbeats were a wild card entry or something. like an open mic category. they absolutely destroyed it, i was so proud. ask K-Love he was there.
shoot, these are too dark to really see. the place was jam-packed.
ah! there we go. i love you guys
so the Deadbeats were only playing a 15 minute set at ala moana from 9-9:15pm. meanwhile i had yet to see mike pooley's band Painted Highways, who were playing in chinatown at 9pm too. i really wanted to see both and was kind of stressed out about it. you might not realize that i am super neurotic about being on time. what am i saying, you totally know that. anyway, i assumed correctly that Painted Highways would probably start a bit late and made it to thirtyninehotel just as they started their first song. BAM!
this was my first time seeing them and it was probably the best place to do that. the sound was wicked, THER sound was wicked. i caught myself clenching a few times, reminiscent of the At Sea days. so so so good.
sorry pooley! i didn't want to be all flashy flash in there and destroy the mood. this is the best i got breuu.
i was able to flash for lapwing tho – he was going NUTS!
everyone was loving it for real. the room was full of all these indie rock musician people too.
darius legg came out. on a TUESDAY. what's up.
this is what the guys who go to kaleidoscope look like.
wait, except todd. he kind of lives in australia.
neckface. <3
travis watanabeiwannamarryawatanabe. you so indie.
lots of plaid and dancing and fun (and michael paul schultz) at these things. tuesdays at thirtynine for LIFE!
todd and mark are totally kidding. people don't stand around like this at kaleidoscope. ps: remember todd? he used to be in Crtl Alt Del with mark howard here. they were definitely my favorite act of 2007. so amazing.
ps: kaleidoscope!
hey guys, that's a speaker. not a drink holder. just a reminder.
wait shhh! GIRLFRIENDS are onnnnn!!
then something happened. i was drinking sailor jerry tonight so i really don't know what was going on, like, at all. but the reactions in my photos say nicholas here was having …..
….some sort of technical difficulty
then all of a sudden he had a different guitar
and the show went on
alisa i do not like this. ok? i do not not not not like it.
the show rocked. i was sailor jerry'd but remember it being totally wicked. we were outside cruising when we saw all of the Girlfriends piling all of their equipment and each other into nate's car. all of them/it. i was very impressed.
then these girls got me in to more trouble
but thankfully got me home too. ps: wednesday morning sucked.
friday pau hana ruled tho. kalima came over and told me all about his trips then took me down to chinatown for another first friday
we were pretty excited to see the hurley show – they had all these rad artists design board shorts, then they made the board shorts, then they had them all on display. they called it the Anti-Canvas show. probably the coolest thing i've seen on a first friday in years.
first friday faces. aaron angry woebot martin.

Introduction: Tie Shaped Pendant
- I made this from a small piece of hardwood scrap. I'm not exactly sure what kind of wood it is. I grabbed it from left over cutting board projects my son had made.
- I starting making the pendant without the intention of a tie shape, but when I finished shaping it I liked the look.
Step 1: Tools and Spplies
- Sandpaper
- Awl
- Cordless Drill
- Scroll Saw
- CA Glue (super glue)
- Howard's Butcher Block Oil
- Coral Sea Shells
- Scotch Tape
Step 2: Measuring and Shaping
This was a small end grain piece of wood. I drew the basic shape using a square. Cutting the piece outside of the pencil lines so that I could sand it to it's final size
Step 3: Drilling the Holes Then Installing and Glueing the Shells.
- I used my cordless drill to make the two holes.
- I then used scotch tape to cover one side of the pendant holes.
- I found and used small pieces of the shells that were close to the size of the hole.
- Then I layered pieces of shell and glue until I filled the hole.
- I used a fine spray of water to help set the glue faster.
Step 4: Sanding
- I started with a 60 coarse grit to take off the excess CA glue.
- I then worked my way through finer grits and finished with a 500 grit.
- I put three coats of the Howard's Oil on.
- All that was left was to drill the hole for the necklace cord.
Step 5: Conclusion
- I'm happy with the outcome....but
- Next time I won't drill all the way through, clearly one side looked better then the other.
- And I would let the glue dry between layers of shells.
Thanks for looking.

Backed by the unconstitutional war-loving neo-conservative wing of the GOP, the Obama administration has been meddling in Yemen and seeking to prop up its dictators almost since taking power. As The New American reported in 2010, the Obama Pentagon that year more than doubled the military-assistance budget for Yemen's brutal dictator. The next year, the Obama administration took it a step further, unleashing secret bombing campaigns against the Saleh regime's enemies under the guise of killing "militants" that resulted in multiple massacres of civilians. Obama's lawless support was not enough, however, and the dictator, who ruled with an iron fist for decades, was ousted. His "vice president" ended up becoming the "transitional" dictator until being forced to flee Yemen with his regime for Saudi Arabia last week. In 2012, Obama issued an "executive order" purporting to make it a criminal offense to interfere — even "indirectly" — with the transition between Yemeni dictators he supported.

- Sustainability
- Value chain
- Supply chain
ACCIONA conveys its commitment to Sustainability to the whole supply chain, in any of the relations and communications it establishes. With the aim of identifying, mitigating and managing
risk, ACCIONA has an internal risk management mechanism that is essentially structured over three elements:
In 2012, the Ethical Principles for Suppliers, Contractors, and Partners, approved the preceding year together with ACCIONA's Code of Conduct, were translated into seven languages and published on ACCIONA's website in order to reach most of the Group's suppliers in their own languages. These principles cover issues related to transparency and ethics, human and social rights, health and safety, and quality and the environment. Together with these principles, an Ethics Channel has also been made available to suppliers.
In 2012, ACCIONA reviewed the ethics clauses that it includes in all orders, contracts, and bid terms of reference in order to ensure that they specifically refer to its Ethical Principles for Suppliers, Contractors, and Partners.
These clauses include in addition , its commitment to the Principles of the Global Compact, the Law of Effective Equality of Women and Men, the integration of the differently-abled clause, and those related to the Ethics Channel, confidentiality, the law on protection of private data, and innovation in procurement.
If a supplier is unable to meet the minimum levels set out in the No Go Policies, and stipulated in ACCIONA's SMP 2018 goals, the company will be unable to contract such supplier in any project adhering to the mentioned policies, both nationally and internationally. ACCIONA maintains that goal for 2019: 0 % general procurement orders from suppliers with this status. In 2018, 100 suppliers were categorised as No Go, of which 47 have emerged from this situation, either after performing an audit and/or action or improvement plans, or through Reinforced Due Diligence. Furthermore, two resolved the issue during the year but returned to No Go status for other reasons. At the end of the year, 53 suppliers remained in this status.
Following the 2011 launch of the Suppliers Campus at ACCIONA's Corporate University, the Training Pack was completed in 2012, with a total of five online courses designed specifically for suppliers, in order to give them training on the main issues related to sustainability. These courses are: CR and Sustainability in the Supply Chain (available in Spanish, English, and Polish), Equality and Prevention of Discrimination, OHS in the Supply Chain, Disabilities and Code of Conduct.
In order to identify sustainable procurement, ACCIONA has developed the "Sustainable Procurement Guide". Since 2016, the indicators for its identification have been implemented, both in PROCUR-e and in the main management systems.
Find below some examples of how the sustainability criteria have been incorporated into procurement and contracting management, and the different actions carried out by the main divisions in this regard.

Mosaic Art with Paper
For those that are slightly intimidated by working with traditional mosaic materials, here's a chance to get your feet wet without having to plunge into a pool of tile adhesive and grout. We'll achieve a finished mosaic art piece, by using only paper and glue with this technique. I've chosen a simple, abstract sun design, to be used with an assortment of neon-colored papers. A piece of 8 1/2 X 8 1/2 black card stock will serve as the substrate and grout lines for my mosaic piece.
I first sketched my design on paper, using two circle templates for accuracy. I free-handed the rest of the design and then traced over it with a sheet of tracing paper. I flipped the tracing paper over and went over all the lines with pencil lead. Now that the paper was "loaded", I could turn the paper right side up and trace and transfer the shapes onto the colored paper pieces.
I started with the center swirl shape and traced it on the white paper. After cutting it out, I used a glue stick to secure it in the center of the black card stock. The next shapes I glued down were the triangular yellow sun's rays. The periwinkle-colored pieces that represented the sky, completed the basic circle design. By leaving space between the colored shapes, the black paper reads as grout in the overall piece.
The addition of orange into the yellow, further defined the sun's fiery rays. Two different-size hole punches were used for the rainbow of neon colors in the center white swirl. I'm not gonna lie, this was understandably the most tedious part of the project. It took a lot of time and patience to adhere each tiny circle with white glue, but the result was worth it. I found that my ball-point burnisher helped in positioning the small circles to the card stock. The concept is the same for traditional mosaics: keep your design simple by using less-complex patterns. Whether you use ceramic pieces and grout or paper and glue, your completed art piece will shine just the same!

About this book
This text provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the major issues specific to the surgical decision-making process. These include patient's anatomy and pathophysiology as well as the magnitude of the injury at hand, the surgeon's own physiologic and mental status, training and experience, and many other factors such as creativity, leadership skills, and overall "biochemistry" of the environment. The text reviews theoretical as well as objective information that surgeons use to make intraoperative decisions in situations, often with very limited data; decisions that will decide between a patient's living or dying, such as in trauma surgery and other complex surgeries. How surgeons choose one technical approach over another in these situations is covered. This book fills a critical need for resource materials on these topics and includes both theoretical as well as practical presentations of many typical patients seen in operating rooms around the world.
Surgical Decision Making: Beyond the Evidence Based Surgery is written by academic and clinical practicing surgeons that face intraoperative decision situations on a daily basis and therefore provides a unique and valuable resource in the field for surgeons currently in training and for those already in clinical or research practice.

SCHLAGGER's Slant Week 9
Every Thursday during the NFL fantasy season, I will give you an in depth look at the week ahead. This article will focus on a few targets and values on both Draftkings (DK) and Fanduel (FD). At the end of the article, I will list players that will be in my cash game lineups on DK. Quick disclaimer: Cash games are 50/50's where the top half of the entries cash and head to heads against other users. GPP's are big tournaments where about 20% of the entries cash and have huge payouts for 1st place.
Note: This will be for the Sunday Main Slate. Not including Thursday Night and Monday Night Football.
Week 9 will be a shortened version of the SCHLAGGER Slant this week. I am actually on vacation in Florida this week but I still wanted to make sure everyone who reads this article every week could receive the top plays.
Aaron Rodgers ($7800 on DK): Rodgers is by far the top QB on the board this week with his amazing matchup against the Colts
Ryan Tannehill (5600 on DK): It is between Tannehill and Dak Prescott if going cheap at QB. I am siding with Tannehill currently because he is cheaper.
Running Backs:
Ezekiel Elliott (7900 on DK): Zeke is your guy if paying up this week at RB. The Browns defense is awful and if you go Tannehill it makes it easy to fit Elliott in.
Charcandrick West (4400 on DK): This play is only if Spencer Ware sits which I think he will be out. This is near a must play at 4400 if Ware is out. Lock him in!
Wide Receivers:
Randall Cobb (6600 on DK): Cobb practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday so we will have to check Thursday and Friday's report but I think he will be back in the lineup this week. He is just simply too cheap at $6600.
Mike Wallace (5600 on DK): I don't love this but he is the top target for the Ravens and he is set for probably 8-9 targets on Sunday. As of now, I have him in my cash lineup.
Tight Ends:
Kyle Rudolph (4000 on DK): We have touched on the Lions defense against the TE. Rudolph is affordable and he is in the best matchup of the week. I love him this week.
Antonio Gates (3000 on DK): He is playing more snaps every week and is simply too cheap. The problem is Rudolph is only $1000 dollars more. I prefer Rudolph but Gates is in play.
Vikings (4000 on DK): They are really expensive this week on DK but they may be the safest. I hate paying that price tag but I think I may have too with the security the Vikings D will bring this week.
Packers (2700 on DK): A cheap defense against the Colts. We have had this situation the last couple weeks and the Packers are certainly in play. Luck turns the ball over and takes tons of sacks but I think even with the cost, the Vikings are the best value.
Guys I'm most likely to have in Draftkings cash games: (No Order)
QB: Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott, Ryan Tannehill, Colin Kaepernick
RB: Ezekiel Elliott, Devonta Freeman, Charcanderick West (if Ware out), Melvin Gordon, Devontae Booker
WR: Randall Cobb, Mike Evans, Ty Montgomery, Mike Wallace, Willie Snead, Donte Moncrief
TE: Kyle Rudolph, Antonio Gates, Jack Doyle
D: Vikings, Packers
I am an avid Daily Fantasy player. You can find me on Draftkings with user name: THESCHLAGGER and on Fanduel with the user name: asnodgr10. I may use different players and strategies than what I recommended above. Any questions, please email me at
firstname.lastname@example.com or follow me on twitter @asnod10.

Where Did I Come From?
By: Allen E. Grimes, JR. M.D.
About the Book
This is a book written at the request of Allen E. Grimes' family members. It is an account of the last 80 years by the oldest living family member about the life, work, travels and interests that occurred "along the way." It attempts to relate interesting stories that occurred, the people, the places and the events which make life so enjoyable. While others may have different recollections or perspectives, these stories will provide a background for remembrance.
Grimes has been fortunate to have been involved with medicine in many various aspects and still makes time to visit and work in many countries, photographing the people, the animals and the sites as a hobby. The Grimes family has been supportive and engaged in every aspect and, hopefully, this book will be a resource for them over the years still to come.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – Despite an even mark in total shots, the Hanover men's soccer team was shutout on the road Sunday afternoon, falling at Wabash (Ind.), 2-0.
Both the Panthers (2-4-0) and Little Giants (5-1-1) tallied eight shots over 90 minutes of play, but it was Wabash who held a 7-2 edge on goal. Wabash scored a goal in the opening 10 minutes and another in the closing 10 minutes, as they ran their current unbeaten streak to five matches.
Hanover had its best two chances early in the match with shots from Fellipe Busato (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and Ian Waldrop (Louisville, Ky.). However, both of the Panther tries in the opening 14 minutes of play would be saved.
Despite allowing two goals, sophomore Will Bedel (Walton, Ky.) did make five saves, his second highest mark of the 2018 season. Offensively, freshman Evan Redmon (Louisville, Ky.) was the lone Panther with multiple shot attempts.
Hanover will look to bounce back and stay unbeaten at home when they welcome Spalding (Ky.) Tuesday, Sept. 18. The Panthers and Golden Eagles are slated for a 5 p.m. start at the Hanover Outdoor Athletic Complex.

The tale of May 12, 2007: He was ordered to "go for the kill" and "take no prisoners"
An hour before the violence, a van loaded with assault rifles, pump-action shot guns, handguns and cartridges arrived.
What started as a casual chat over tea amid the winter season, turned out to be quite a tumultuous tale of violence and mayhem that erupted on May 12, 2007 in Karachi, narrated by one of the perpetrators himself.
While sitting at roadside cafe in a dingy locality of Hyderabad and sipping tea with my friends, I somehow ended up chatting with this ordinary-looking chap (who would later identify himself as one of the perpetrators), a man who claimed to be distantly acquainted with one of my friends. The story he proceeded to narrate in a disdainful manner, as if sharing just another college prank gone haywire, was nothing short of a plot straight out of a Bollywood mafia noir.
On May 11, 2007, the perpetrator, along with seven other party workers, was summoned to reach Karachi from Hyderabad for an assignment. Subsequently, they reached Karachi during the late hours of May 11th. They were ordered to spend the night somewhere near Shahrah-e-Faisal, completely unaware of what was expected of them the next day. Of course, the only art they had an expertise in was creating mayhem in urban areas. Pelting stones, burning tires, and later "graduating" into full throttle arson attacks were all tricks ingrained in these men from an early age. All such nefarious activities were considered perfectly kosher, since they were sticking it out for the sake of an ideology they had pledged to uphold.
Slowly but gradually, their cell phones started to ring, and a horrific assignment was charged upon them. They were ordered to obstruct party workers supporting the deposed chief justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry, with the objective to prove he was not welcome in Karachi. To the majority of these men, this assignment seemed routine, but for some of them, it was like being confined inside a 'hurt locker'.
The incessant ringing of cell phones created a queer crescendo, perturbing some amongst the pack who were nervous. The voices from the other side of the receivers became frantic and brash, ordering the pack to "go for the kill" and to "take no prisoners".
By now, all the members of the group were having their own brainstorming session on how to go about the high and mighty "mission" they were about to carry out. A few men who had a morsel of conscience left in them were at a loss as to why such heavy-handed treatment was needed, and wished they could magically disappear. Or in the worst case, they prayed this "tour of duty" would be their last!
The next morning, as the group waited for the moment of action with bated breath, a speeding van came along, loaded with automatic assault rifles, pump-action shot guns, as well as handguns and cartridges stacked on the floor of the vehicle. This was just an hour before the action began.
Soon, the workers of the opposing political parties appeared on Shahrah-e-Faisal, chanting slogans while carrying welcoming banners or waving their respective party flags. When this pack received the order over the phone to aim and shoot, one of them retorted to his handler, informing him that the protestors had not threatened or attacked them in any way, since they were positioned on a flyover about 40-feet high. This was to no avail, for the man was told to shut up, leading one of his comrades to start shooting straight at the defenceless agitators, who were caught off guard by these men.
These shooters emptied hundreds of cartridges that day, slugging them out as if gathering booty would get them a medal of honour. A supply van appeared again after an hour or so with more weapons, and one of the goons inside patted the back of the man in charge of these shooters. Later, they returned unharmed to Hyderabad, with their commanders joyously lauding them over the phone.
I was at a loss for words as I heard this story, failing to believe my ears or grasp what just transpired. Knowing not much could be done, I quickly bid farewell to this ungodly gathering and made my way home.
However, I could not help dwelling on this incident, and how the events of that Black Saturday live on more than a decade later. As a commoner who has lived in Karachi his entire life and commutes to work every day, I had an inkling that the ruling party in Karachi back then was unwelcoming towards political opponents, but also took comfort in the fact that the violence of the 90's was over, and naively believed mass violence to be a thing of the past.
However, all such preconceived notions evaporated around midday on May 12th, as I witnessed violence of the worst kind near Guru Mandir, which was littered with empty cartridges, stones, burning vehicles and dozens of seemingly angry men running around and shooting straight, with any and all moving things being 'targets'.
May 12th was supposed to exhibit Karachi's solidarity with the deposed chief justice and against the tyranny of Pervez Musharraf's dictatorship, but those who were brave enough to come out and welcome justice were instead tormented with naked aggression.
Perhaps many political parties were there to gain political mileage, but there is no denying that in the aftermath of that day, social and political polarisation in Karachi increased manifold. I still remember living in fear, and avoiding transit through areas dominated by certain groups, for no apparent reason or rhyme; just the fear of facing violence.
Since then, a bloody trail of civilians attacked in targeted killings went on unabated and unaccounted for several years, until the Karachi Operation took place under the National Action Plan (NAP) and finally put an end to this pandemonium.
The recent clash between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) over holding a jalsa at the same venue, in Karachi on May 12th, reopened the agonising wounds from 11 years ago. The age-old proverb "violence begets violence" still fails to get through the heads of these political bigwigs. The culture of violence and intolerance which has evolved in Karachi after decades of lawlessness has torn apart the cosmopolitan social fabric the city of lights was once known for. Further immaturity exhibited by the political parties who claim to have a strong following in Karachi may not bode well during the upcoming General Elections.
Eleven years after the Black Saturday, Karachiites still hope the relative peace and stability that has been achieved will continue in the future. There now lies a political vacuum after the fragmentation of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), which is why any wrong step or hastiness shown by the PPP or PTI may result in the deterioration of the already delicately balanced law and order situation of Karachi. Volatility may be in Karachi's very nature, for violence is definitely easy to trigger, but Karachiites have had enough of this violent form of politics.

2 years ago | Reply | Recommend ?comprehensive yet clear narrative of events. I just knew that it was a chaos (which Karachi has faced at infinite occasions) but never got to know as to what ACTUALLY happened that day... thanks for the information... Karachiites have taken a sigh of relief after raddul fasad... The peace there is still relative though, but change in political situation in past 2 or so years have certainly played an important role in maintaining it|

#TeamCLEO Mane Makeover: How To Rock Ash Brown Hair
Choosing the right hair colour can be a life-crisis – especially if you're a newbie like me.
In a nutshell: I never dyed my hair or considered it because of the commitment, special hair and constant touch-ups — so high maintenance and #RIPbankaccount. But this year, I decided to give it a go – with statement fiery red highlights a la Pretty Little Liars' Aria Montgomery during her pre-A days.
While the red did made me feel like a bad-a$$… it just wasn't me. So I continued searching for a natural-looking colour that had some edge.
Ash brown has turned out to be one of the hottest hair colour trends this year – just look at Emma Roberts and Taylor Hill rocking that shade on the red carpet and Instagram feeds.
What's so great about ash brown? Well, hairstylists can create and control the colour and ash-intensity to suit your skin tone. Plus, the colour acts as a "balance" as this smokey hue helps brighten up your overall complexion.

(CNN) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday the House was proceeding with articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, a historic step that is likely to make Trump the third President in US history to be impeached.
"Today, I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment," Pelosi said in a brief address outside her office, the same location where she announced Democrats would open the impeachment inquiry two months ago.
"The President leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt once again the election for his own benefit."
The speaker's announcement is the clearest signal yet that Democrats are moving swiftly to impeach the President before Christmas.
Pelosi's direction to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler to draft articles of impeachment comes one day after his committee held its first impeachment hearing, where legal experts testified on about whether Trump's conduct was impeachable.
Pelosi argued that the case against Trump is clear.
"The facts are uncontested. The President abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our national security by withholding military aid and a crucial Oval Office meeting in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into his political rival," she said.
"If we allow a President to be above the law, we do so surely at the peril of our republic," Pelosi continued, adding, "In America, no one is above the law."
Trump tweeted ahead of Pelosi's announcement Thursday that the Democrats should quickly impeach him so they could move onto the Senate trial, where Republicans have a majority.
"They have no Impeachment case and are demeaning our Country," Trump said. "But nothing matters to them, they have gone crazy. Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair…trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business."
As the Judiciary Committee prepares to bring forward articles of impeachment, the panel's next step is expected to be a look into the evidence presented by the House Intelligence Committee, which released on Tuesday a 300-page report detailing the findings of the House's two-month investigation into Trump and Ukraine.
Pelosi has been engaging in a stream of private conversations in recent days with her colleagues to get their input on whether they're ready to impeach Trump and what should be included in the articles of impeachment, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Speaking to her caucus behind closed doors on Wednesday, Pelosi asked: "Are you ready?"
The question focused on whether the Democratic caucus was ready to keep moving forward on the next steps on impeachment, and Democrats were vocal in responding yes, according to sources familiar with the meeting.
Democrats are considering bringing multiple articles of impeachment against the President, including abuse of power and bribery for his actions toward Ukraine, and obstruction of Congress for stonewalling the investigation.
Democrats are also weighing whether to bring forward an obstruction of justice charge that would include the allegations against Trump detailed in former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The House Judiciary Committee, which took up the obstruction of justice investigation, included questions about Mueller and obstruction of justice at Wednesday's hearing.
Republicans have continued to slam the impeachment process as an unfair process that's predetermined to try to overturn the results of the 2016 election.
Trump's tweets Thursday included a call for Republicans in the Senate to call witnesses that Democrats have not allowed in the House, including House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden — and even Pelosi.
"We will have Schiff, the Bidens, Pelosi and many more testify, and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is. I was elected to 'Clean the Swamp,' and that's what I am doing!" he said.

GRAPEVINE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Democratic Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris called on Attorney General William Barr to release Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
"That report needs to be made public. The American people have a right and need to know. The underlying evidence that supports that report should be made public. Attorney General Barr should be called to testify under oath before the United States Congress."
About 400 people came to Grapevine to see the California Senator who answered questions from Tarrant County Democratic Party Chair Deborah Peoples.
When asked about healthcare, Harris referred to President Donald Trump's renewed criticism of the late Arizona Senator John McCain, who changed his mind and voted to save Obamacare, after he campaigned to repeal it. "The late great John McCain (clapping) put country above party. You will remember he said no."
Senator Harris brought Democrats to their feet when she said, "I know how to prosecute the case against Donald Trump."
She criticized President Donald Trump's expanded barrier or wall along the Texas-Mexico border as his "vanity project."
Harris called for a $6,000 tax credit for people who pay more than 30% of their income toward rent and utilities.
The former San Francisco DA and California Attorney General also said she is for legalizing recreational use of marijuana.
It's a crowded Democratic field feautring two Texans: former El Paso Congressman Beto O'Rourke, and former San Antonio Mayor and HUD Secretary Julian Castro, who campaigned in Dallas earlier this week.
Former Vice President Joe Biden will likely enter the race next month.
The Real Clear Politics average of polls for the Democratic nomination in the last month show Biden leading with 29%, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders with 23%, Harris with 10%, and O'Rourke with 8%.
Castro has 1%.
Senator Harris' appearance was her first in Texas.
She has a rally planned in Houston Saturday, and has already attracted support here in the Lone Star State.
Jill Rice of Richardson said, "She is a woman who will stand up for my rights. My rights as a woman, my rights as a LGBTQ woman, and I need somebody who is definitely in my corner."
Jayne Partridge flew here from her home in Olympia, Washington to see Harris. "She's a woman and I like that. She's a strong woman, and I like that. She's not just an old white guy and we seem to be getting a lot of them."
A Quinnipiac University poll released last month showed various hypothetical matchups in Texas.
President Trump led Biden 47-46%, led Sanders 47-45%, and O'Rourke 47-46%.
The President had a wider lead over Harris 48-41% and Castro 46-41%.
Harris left the event in Grapevine without taking any questions from reporters.
