Glasgow man taking 'wee walk' to Land's End to raise awareness for still birth and male mental health
Andrew Fenney, 35, is setting off on his challenge to walk the 500 mile plus journey alongside his miniature Staffordshire bull terrier Kai this afternoon
Glasgow man Andrew Fenney is undertaking the challenge on Monday of next week
A Glasgow man is taking a 'wee walk' to Land's End from his home city to raise awareness about still birth and male mental health.
Andrew Fenney, 35, is setting off on his challenge to walk the 500 mile plus journey alongside his miniature Staffordshire bull terrier Kai today (Monday November 11).
Andrew came up with the idea of the feat in support of both issues having had close family members experience the pain of still birth and after having sought help to deal with his own mental health problems.
Christmas drive-in movie nights to raise money for Glasgow's Children's Hospital
He told Glasgow Live: "I'm doing it to raise awareness of male mental health because I've struggled myself for a number of years with mental health issues and lost contact with a lot of friends and family as a result.
"It took me a long time to seek the appropriate help for my mental health. I want to try and encourage guys or anyone at all to go and get the help they need."
Andrew, who is from the east end, has calculated it will take him the best part of two weeks to complete the walk - which he will do by camping along the way.
And he counts on the backing of his friends (especially Stewart Gordon - who has enlisted some celebrities to show their support), as he prepares to set off on a journey that will no doubt prove to be a big test.
"The way I see it that it took a lot of mental strength, it took a lot for me to seek help. The walk is more of a mental battle, being in solitude for such a long time.
Appeal for winter jackets and wellies for Glasgow children living in poverty
"I want a physical and mental challenge to coincide to show that you can be physically strong but it's the mental side that you have to battle with," he said.
And he hasn't ruled out turning back and walking home to Glasgow from Cornwall if he feels like his fitness can manage the feat.
"When I get to Land's End and if I feel fit enough I might turn back and walk home," he finished.
You can keep up with Andrew's progress here

Rosemary Murphy Dies: 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Actress Was 89
By Morgan Chilson | Thursday, 10 July 2014 02:50 PM
"To Kill a Mockingbird" actress Rosemary Murphy died Saturday of cancer at the age of 89.
Murphy acted for decades on television, in movies, and on stage, receiving an Emmy in 1976 for playing the mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in an ABC movie, "Eleanor and Franklin." She was also well-known for her role in the 1962 version of "To Kill a Mockingbird," where she played Maudie Atkinson, a neighbor of Atticus Finch.

The actress' list of credits was long, and included three Tony nominations for "Period of Adjustment" in 1961; "Any Wednesday" in 1964; and "A Delicate Balance" in 1967.
Murphy also appeared in movies such as "September" and "You'll Like my Mother," and many television shows from the 1950s on, from soap operas to "Columbo," "Magnum, P.I.," and "Frasier."
Murphy played in "You'll Like My Mother" with Patty Duke, who tweeted:
How wonderful it was too know and work with Rosemary Murphy. Such a Brilliant actress. My condolences to her family, RIP
— Patty Duke (@pattyduke_id) July 10, 2014
Murphy was known for a "puckish" sense of humor, The New York Times said, which she used to alleviate boredom when she was playing on stage. In a 1965 Times interview, Murphy relayed a joke she played on Anthony Perkins in "Look Homeward, Angel."
"Knowing someone in particular is in the audience will sharpen your performance," Murphy told the Times. "Once during 'Angel' I told Tony Perkins that Federico Fellini was out front, and he spent three hours painstakingly enunciating every vowel so that Mr. Fellini would be able to understand him. He was a little miffed when we told him it was all a joke — but he gave a great performance."

Des Papous dans la tête est une émission hebdomadaire de France Culture, créée en 1984 par Bertrand Jérôme et produite par Françoise Treussard, diffusée le dimanche à midi jusqu'en , puis le samedi à 20 h pour la dernière saison de  à .

Il s'agissait de jeux radiophoniques et littéraires, voire impertinents, poétiques, souvent inventés par Bertrand Jérôme puis par Françoise Treussard, parfois par un participant. Les propositions de l'Oulipo, dont nombre des membres sont intervenus dans l'émission, en sont une inspiration primordiale ainsi que les grands rhétoriqueurs, les surréalistes et Jean Tardieu.

Généralités
Inspiré des principes de l'OuLiPo, groupe de littérature inventive, l'émission était diffusée en différé, longtemps enregistrée en studio par le « tailleur de son » Yann Paranthoën, de grand format, de 60 à  selon les années. Plusieurs fois par an, des enregistrements publics étaient réalisés hors des studios et souvent en province.

Jean-Claude Vannier a composé la plus grande part de l'enveloppe musicale. Des musiques et chansons, toujours un peu décalées, servaient d'intermèdes entre les jeux.

De sa création à septembre 2004, l'émission était animée par Bertrand Jérôme assisté de Françoise Treussard, puis par Françoise Treussard seule après le décès de l'animateur.

Le , Françoise Treussard annonce que l'émission ne reprendra pas à la rentrée 2018. Cette décision, prise sur une volonté personnelle de la productrice, a surpris la direction de France Culture, mais aussi les participants à l'émission.

En juillet 2019, France Culture a diffusé une nouvelle émission, L'Épingle du jeu, animée par Odile Conseil, reprenant en grande partie l'idée et les intervenants des Papous. Cependant, diffusée en été et à un horaire inhabituel, l'émission n'a pas réussi à convaincre les auditeurs et s'est arrêtée au bout de 4 épisodes.

Participants

De nombreuses personnalités ont plusieurs fois participé à cette émission, dont notamment :

Jeux

Publications
Deux ouvrages notables :
Collectif, Des Papous dans la tête. Les Décraqués. L'Anthologie, dessin de couverture de Ricardo Mosner, livre + CD audio, Paris, Gallimard/France Culture, 2004
Les Editions Gallimard ont publié un ouvrage rassemblant les moments les plus amusants des Papous dans la tête sous la forme d'un dictionnaire instructif, poétique, jalonné de néologismes:
—Embistrature: Moment précis où l'on ralentit le pas en se demandant si par hasard on ne se serait pas trompé de chemin.
—Barbavisules: Explications que l'on donne à propos d'une chose à laquelle on n'a soi-même rien compris.
—Pétégoumer: Réciter des phrases de Jean d'Ormesson, en faisant claquer sa langue pour savourer la beauté du texte.

Françoise Treussard et collectif, Le Dictionnaire des Papous, Gallimard, 2007:
 Ce dictionnaire reprend, trois ans après le précédent ouvrage, de nouvelles définitions parmi les plus ludiques et les plus poétiques de la langue française, toujours créées par les participants de cette émission.

GLICK | Peering Outside the Ivory Tower
By The Cornell Daily Sun | September 1, 2014
By JACOB GLICK
It's been only a few days since our arrival on the Hill, and all our worlds have once again been squeezed back into the comfortable bubble between Collegetown and RPCC. For those of us older and more nostalgic, there is nothing cozier than the reassertion of collegiate order in our lives; we cherish equally each fleeting interaction at Olin and at Dunbars, because we have come to the bittersweet realization that we are now making memories that will have to last us a lifetime. For new students — blissfully unbothered by fears of impending adulthood — the rush of Cornell life has created a universe all its own, fueled by each new addition to an iOS Photo album and unfurling into an endless future. But as students old and new are swept up in this fever dream that is Cornell, the outside world looms even more threateningly on the horizon than does my graduation.
As we packed up our bags in May, we left behind a campus in the throes of conflict. Student activism had sparked a politicized conflagration, which dragged a half-unwilling student body into the thick of important and often rancorous debates. There has been — and will be — much more said about the implications of last spring's activism, but there is scarcely now a trace of it. A rally held by Students for Justice in Palestine Friday was tamer and less eventful than one would have expected, given that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been so severely aggravated since SJP's calls to action last semester. An article in The Sun detailing how President Skorton's pledge to maintain free first-year bus passes may not be so easily maintained was met with neither mass student mobilization nor even with a flurry of grievances in the online comments section. Cornell's hyper-engagement with internal and external affairs seems to have waned for the moment. While this may give our bruised body politic a much needed chance to heal, the lull is almost more frightening than the drama of last spring.
Perhaps this momentary aversion to re-politicizing our campus discourse is something that runs deeper than a lingering O-Week hangover. The world outside our Cornell bubble has never seemed more frightening. Everywhere, things seem to be slipping backward. Russia — led by a megalomaniac "Vladimir the Great" — has refused to back down in its confrontation with Ukraine, making NATO tremble as 20 years of post-Cold War bliss is threatened. In Israel and in Gaza, the conflict that so many Cornellians (myself included) debated last spring in a lofty, almost theoretical tenor resurfaced once more to extract its bloody price. As rockets flew and civilians fell, the hopes for progress faded away into the realities of a struggle that looks more terminally tragic with each passing flare-up. And in the ancient cities of Iraq, the dark fantasies of ISIS has added an almost unbelievable sense of desperation to the nation whose fate will be forever tied to the limits of 21st century American power. The relative order of the post-9/11 era — in which terrorists cower in isolated mountains while all reasonable nations set aside old rivalries to root them out — looks as if it is coming undone. So perhaps we are afraid.
We have returned to — or have first arrived at — Cornell with aspirations that undoubtedly intersect with the outside world. But the stubbornly tumultuous nature of this summer's news briefs perhaps tempts us to cordon off our own relatively untroubled youths from the Ebola-ridden, rocket-scarred wasteland of "elsewhere." Cornell, with its picturesque towers and spine-tingling alma mater, can easily fall prey to this type of mental insularity. It's much easier to bemoan the crackdown on Collegetown parties than to debate the Middle East. But that is not Cornell's mission.
The first lecture of the (highly, highly recommended) course meant to celebrate the second half of Cornell's 150 years closed with Prof. Isaac Kramnick, government, reciting the quotation found on the oddly ornate gateway that towers over the rather squalid environs of Collegetown's Eddy Street. The quotation — which we've all walked past countless times, though not usually in the mood to be reading it — states: "So enter, that daily thou mayest become more learned and thoughtful. So depart, that daily thou mayest become more useful to thy country and to mankind."
Even at the moments in which we are perhaps least likely to thinking about the wider world — either hurrying from Collegetown to class, or from a party on Buffalo Street to one on Oak — the spirit of Cornell, manifested in the carved stone of the Eddy Street Gate, reminds us that the vision of our University has always been grander than the four-year dream it grants us. The legacy of Cornell is not simply one of amassed wisdom, but of heightened utility as well. However uninviting the globe might seem at this moment, our campus cannot afford to lock the door to our ivory tower and wait until ISIS falls, Putin blinks and a seaside resort opens in Gaza. We, like generations of Cornellians before us, are here because those problems exist, not in spite of them. So as we embark on another year of living and loving and learning on the Hill, we must remember that our University has only become what it is today because of its ability to combine our lust for knowledge and for a "college experience" with a measure of insight that we are all here not only for ourselves, but for our "nation and [for] mankind."

Multi-Use Building Will Be Constructed at Kraftees Site
By The Cornell Daily Sun September 1, 2014
When the redevelopment of the Kraftees building is completed, the new multi-use building will become the "hub of Collegetown," according to Pat Kraft, owner of the Kraftees book store. The plan for the new development was approved by the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board last Tuesday evening and is the second development proposal approved for Collegetown since the city approved its new form-based zoning districts in March.
FOOTBALL | With Aggressive Play on the Mind, Defense Resets
By SCOTT CHIUSANO
When outside linebacker Tre' Minor '14 broke through Penn's offensive line and blocked an extra point attempt that would have tied the final game of the Red's 2013 season, Minor proved the timeless adage that defense wins championships. It may be cliché, and it may not have been a championship, but at the very least Minor was able to take the defensive preachings of his coaches, tie them up neatly with a bow and pass them along for the next generation of Big Red defenders.


Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A falling tree crashed through a Gadsden County, Fla., house Wednesday, killing one man as Hurricane Michael brought destruction and flooding to Florida, local officials said.
The Gadsden County Sheriff's Office confirmed the death to CNN and WTVY-TV in Dothan, Ala.
Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend area as a Category 4 storm Wednesday, bringing destruction and flooding along the coast.
Wind gusts knocked out windows and ripped off portions of buildings in Panama City, Fla. as it moved inland.
Medical Sacred Heart hospital, which had its windows blown in by the storm said it was running off of generators and patients have been moved to safe areas of the facility.
Michael was downgraded to a Category 1 storm as it moved into Georgia, where it was expected to continue to bring dangerous storm surge, hurricane force winds, flash flooding, and possible tornadoes.
Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he had concluded a briefing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and FEMA Administrator Brock Long as they monitored the storm.
"This is the most powerful recorded storm to hit the Florida Panhandle ever," Trump said. "I just say God Bless everyone because it's going to be a rough one it's going to be a very dangerous one."
Despite the storm, Trump chose not to cancel a scheduled rally in Pennsylvania, saying he "couldn't let these great people down."
"I cannot disappoint the thousands of people that are there -- and the thousands that are going. I look forward to seeing everyone this evening," Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
More than 375,000 residents in 22 counties along the Gulf Coast of Florida were urged or ordered to evacuate but Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long said some residents weren't able to make it out of the area before declining conditions made it impossible for them to leave, NBC News reported.
"If you failed to heed a warning for any reason, your goal should be to elevate as high as you can and get into a facility that you think can withstand the winds at this point and hope for the best," Long said. "Those who stick around to experience storm surge don't typically live to tell about it, unfortunately."
Some who stayed behind called for help as bridges were closed long St. George Island, but were told crews would not be able to reach them, the National Weather Service said.
About 310,942 customers in the state were without power as of Wednesday evening, according to PowerOutage.us. Another 92,000 in Georgia and 49,900 in Alabama also were without power.
First responders in Bay County were no longer able to respond to emergencies as of Wednesday morning and Florida Highway Patrol pulled troopers away from coastal areas, saying it was too dangerous for them to remain.
Trump issued a state of emergency Wednesday to free up resources for storm and emergency response and Gov. Rick Scott said more than 3,500 Florida National Guard members were activated for storm response.
Parts of Alabama, Mississippi and the Carolinas are also expected to be hit by the storm as torrential rains, destructive winds and possible tornadoes could extend to areas inland.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed an emergency declaration from Trump allowing preemptive federal assistance for debris removal, more generators and other resources.
Earlier, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency for 108 counties and North Carolina, Gov. Roy Cooper also issued a state of emergency before the storm.

UPSET! Noles Roll Past No. 2 UVA, Will Play For ACC Title
WATCH: Leonard Hamilton discusses FSU's win over Virginia in the ACC tournament semifinal
Florida State 69, Virginia 59 / Florida State Statistics / Florida State Quotes / Virginia Quotes / Florida State vs. Duke Note Package
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Despite their 26-6 overall record, despite their No. 12 national ranking and despite their fourth-place finish in the nation's toughest basketball conference, the Florida State Seminoles didn't seem to factor much into the plans for the ACC tournament's Semifinal Friday.
There were, for the first time ever, three top-5 teams among the league's final four. And then there was Florida State at 12.
There were three different shades of blue-bloods, two Hall-of-Fame coaches and, as anyone watching the television broadcast can attest, a superstar freshman waiting for the spotlight.
Picked to finish seventh in the ACC a few months ago, and not given a single selection to the league's all-conference teams earlier this week, the plans here at Charlotte's Spectrum Center seemed to suggest that the Seminoles would bow out to top-seeded and No. 2 Virginia, then await their NCAA tournament fates while the Cavaliers and either Duke or North Carolina took center stage in the ACC title game on Saturday night.
So much for that.
David Nichols scored a game-high 14 points – including 10 in the second half – and Christ Koumadje added nine points and nine rebounds as the Seminoles rolled to a stunning, 69-59 victory over Virginia in front of a full house at the Spectrum Center.
Florida State's victory …
Clinches the Seminoles' third-ever ACC title game appearance, and first since winning the league crown in 2012. They'll meet No. 5 Duke on Saturday night (8:30 p.m.).
Ties a school record for wins in a single season. FSU's 27 victories are the most since 1972, when the Seminoles reached the Final Four and played UCLA in the national championship game.
Gives FSU 15 wins over ACC opponents, tied for the school record set in 2012.
Puts the Seminoles on the inside track for at least a No. 3 seed in next week's NCAA tournament, which would increase their chances of spending the first weekend of the tournament in Jacksonville, Fla., by far the closest site to Tallahassee.
"We're kind of an unknown team," coach Leonard Hamilton said after the game. "Not very many people felt that we could even have the chance to win this game. I mean, that's part of the journey we're on.
"When you're in a conference with the quality teams that are in the ACC, and you're trying to find a way to get into that hierarchy, it's challenging."
Consider what happened Friday night as one more chip off the hierarchy's foundation.
Because the Seminoles (27-6) didn't just beat the Cavaliers (29-3). For large stretches, they dominated.
Florida State led for more than 38 minutes of game time, lit up UVA's famed "pack line" defense to the tune of 56.5-percent shooting – the second highest percentage allowed by the Cavs this season – and held a plus-15 advantage on the glass.
Four Seminoles scored in double figures, two more scored nine points and FSU's bench outscored Virginia's 28-8.
UVA All-American Kyle Guy, meanwhile, had just 11 points, well below his season average (15.8), and was held scoreless in the second half.
"Florida State played well, they defended well, they were sound and tonight they were the tougher team," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said.
"Hat's off to Florida State. That's a well-coached, good team."
Hamilton all season has preached that the Seminoles "win by committee," and that they're greater than the sum of their individual parts.
On any given night, any one player in FSU's 12-man rotation can be a hero.
In FSU's win overtime win against Virginia Tech, it was Devin Vassell and Terance Mann.
Against the Cavaliers, it was Nichols' turn to wear the cape.
WATCH: David Nichols talks about his big performance against Virginia
A senior transfer from Albany, Nichols a year ago was playing in front of about 4,500 fans in the America East tournament.
Fast-forward 12 months, and Nichols was making the biggest shots in the biggest game of his life.
The Chicago native finished 6 of 8 from the floor, added five rebounds and three assists and grabbed two steals.
When the Cavaliers took a brief lead midway through the second half, Nichols' turnaround jumper put the Seminoles back on top.
A few moments later, his feed to Mfiondu Kabengele on the wing led to a 3-pointer that gave the Seminoles some breathing room.
And when Virginia's Ty Jerome answered with a triple of his own that cut FSU's lead to one, Nichols answered by scoring the Seminoles' next six points and sparking an 11-1 run that sealed the game.
Not bad for a guy who only scored five points when the Seminoles first met UVA in January.
"Nichols was so good tonight," Bennett added. "Even at times when we did guard him, he just made some shots in our face."
David Nichols was BIG for @FSUHoops today! 1⃣4⃣ points on 6⃣ – 8⃣ shooting as the 'Noles are moving on to the #ACCTourney final!#GoNoles (@Davey_Ballout13) pic.twitter.com/jOXuaf8lV5
"I was really just playing off my teammates," Nichols added. "They were doing a great job of driving the ball downhill and opening up lanes for me. Christ was a big presence down low. They had to respect his lobs. Phil hit a lot of big 3s, so they couldn't sink in off him, and that just all created lanes to drive."
After finishing his post-game media obligations, Hamilton donned a black FSU cap, headed out of the locker room and made his way onto the arena floor to catch a few minutes of North Carolina-Duke.
From his vantage point in the corner, he could see that his Seminoles might not have much in common with either the Tar Heels or Blue Devils.
Both teams are loaded with future professional stars, and main attraction Zion Williamson is a virtual lock to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft later this year.
Williamson earned ACC player of the year honors after a highlight-filled freshman year at Duke, and he's just one of five representatives from UNC or Duke to be named first- or second-team All-ACC selections.
It's a stark contrast to the Seminoles and their five seniors, their one junior and their revolving cast of heroes.
Hamilton, though, wouldn't have it any other way.
"We don't have a Zion Williamson or a one-and-done guy that's playing 38, 39 minutes," Hamilton said. "Our guys are best suited for the way we're playing. They've bought into it, they make sacrifices for one another. They play with an unselfish spirit.
"And tonight, we just happened to put it all together against a very, very good basketball team."

YOUNG ELDERS
December 23, 2017 by Lauren Espina
photos by @electric_spaceinvader
Young Elders are an SF-based cosmic soul-pop band bringing groovy psychedelic tunes to venues in the Bay Area and beyond. We hung outside the Rickshaw stop with Nick Castro (lead vocals, keyboard, guitar) and Everett Katigbak (guitar, organ) after their show on night one of Sea Witch fest and talked about their upcoming album and creative process. Peep it!
SEA WITCH: How do you feel about the show?
NICK CASTRO OF YOUNG ELDERS: It was great! Larry from Death Valley Girls is an old friend, we worked at Amoeba in LA when we were kids and then we played Levitation last year and I saw them from like 600 feet away but I didn't realize that it was Larry and I hadn't seen them in like 8 or 9 years and then my friend was like isn't that ur friend Larry? But then I couldn't find them after that cus it was the cancellation cus of the storm. So I just emailed them later and they were like yeah we're coming through, you should do these shows with us. So yeah we were bummed that they didn't come but they asked asteroid to do it and I was like well I'm also in asteroid so I get to play twice!
SEA WITCH: So is it true, do you love debris?
YE: Yeah, it was true when we wrote it. There were a lot of crazy things going on!
SEA WITCH: So what's the current lineup for the Young Elders?
YE: There have been a lot of lineups. Young elders used to be an acoustic thing in like 2007. So currently the lineup is me, Nick Castro, on guitar and vocals, Everett Katickback on organ and guitar, David Volker on drums, and then Nick Lyonwright, it was his first show with us tonight on bass! We've been through like 4 or 5 bass players in the last two years so yeah its like a rotating cast, its kind of whoever can fill in. But its difficult because the songs are difficult. Its not like one of those bands you can just jump into.
SEA WITCH: Yeah I guess its all about how the bands intertwine.
YE: or don't intertwine, in some cases!
SEA WITCH: What're you working on now?
YE: We've been working on this record that we recorded at a studio in the tenderloin that we cant divulge the name of, 'cus its kind of a museum and we're trying to keep it preserved. We've been working there for the better part of a year. And we've got a handful of tunes recorded. We're just experimenting but also writing new material as the band kind of evolves. There's gonna be a single coming out in the spring on a label from Mexico City called Chez Nobody and then hopefully the record will be out by the end of the year.
SEA WITCH: Do you guys have a certain person you've had a really sweet time playing with?
YE: Chicano Batman at the independent! I think they're my favorite modern band. Partially because im Chicano, partially because I just think theyre the best fucking band around.
SEA WITCH: Where are you from?
YE: LA originally, but my family is mostly from Jalisco. I'm the first generation born in the states.
SEA WITCH: How do you feel like your music shifted when you went from acoustic to electric?
YE: It got really loud. Its kind of just a fast version of what you do on acoustic guitar. It's really not that different. Just a lot of pedals. It's really fun for me. It's like aging backwards. I started playing old man music when I was a kid and now I'm old and I'm like growing into it. Like Picasso said, "It takes a lifetime to learn how to be young."
SEA WITCH: You record analog, have you always done that? Do you do it to preserve the vintage vibe?
YE: In a sense, yeah. But I'm not so lofty about it. I do it because its fun. It's a pain in the ass and its so much easier to do it all on a computer. It's the same reason why I wont play a new guitar. Its not as fun, not as romantic, so why would I want to do it just 'cus its easier? Despite it being difficult, I'd rather do the thing that makes me feel good.
EVERETT: It definitely has a different vibe. If you play back the same thing on analog vs. digital, there's something about the aesthetic sound of it. But also when you're in the studio it just forces you to think differently because it's just a more straightforward way to do it. In the computer you can just like record something and mess around with it later, but you kinda have to nail it when you do it analog. It's more about musicianship and the feeling. But that's also why its been a year and we're only halfway done with the record. It's a labor of love. Slow music movement.
SEA WITCH: Whats your go-to liquor store snack when you're on the road?
YE: His [Everett] is flaming hot cheetos. I [Nick] will usually just go hungry and wait, I can't do it. I used to, but not anymore. One time I was on tour and we were in Alabama and I ate this thing called the gut buster and it was like mashed potatoes with sausages stickin out of 'em, smothered in gravy, like home cooked fried. We all ordered it cus we thought it was hilarious and we all got so sick and I never ate junk food on the road again.

Selecting a V5 Robot Kit
Since its release over a decade ago the VEX Educational Robotics system, more commonly called VEX EDR, has been available in various kits. The V5 System, version five of the robot brain, continues this history with four available kits for purchase. These kits are the V5 Classroom Starter Kit, the V5 Classroom Super Kit, the V5 Competition Starter Kit, and the V5 Competition Super Kit.
The Classroom Kits are available as a single kit or as a bundle of six which will provide a classroom set.
All four kits include the V5 System Bundle, and common elements from following VEX product lines:
V5 Electronics include items such as the Control System, V5 Smart Motors, cables, and sensors
Motion parts include Wheels, Shafts, and High Strength Gears
Structure components include fasteners, Shaft hardware, and metal Structural pieces
Tools and accessories have V5 Battery Clips, #32 Rubber Bands, T15 Star Drive Keys, and 4" Zip Ties
The V5 System Bundle represents the pinnacle of classroom/competition robotics control with a very high level of Brain processing power, a color touch screen on the Brain, and an LED screen on the Wireless Controller for continuous feedback and control. In addition to a programming and battery port, the V5 Brain provides 21 Smart Ports which recognize and utilize the V5 Smart Motors, V5 Radio, and V5 Sensors, as well as allowing for a wired connection to the Controller. It also has eight legacy 3-Wire ports which can be configured to accept the legacy Motor Speed Controllers, the Pneumatic Solenoid Driver, LED's, and 3-Wire Sensors.
The Li-Ion Battery provides over 12 volts of potential with its own firmware plus LED and controller feedback.
The V5 Radio has its own firmware and can provide either WiFi or Bluetooth wireless control and programming. The V5 Radio also has an LED for visual feedback.
The V5 Smart Motors provide a powerful way to move robotic assemblies and they have three different interchangeable gear cartridges to change the maximum rotational speed to 100 RPM, 200 RPM, or 600 RPM. They have an illuminated smart port for visual feedback and have built-in sensors which measure rotation, rotational speed, current draw, power, temperature, and torque.
The V5 Brain has a wide variety of onboard programming, as well as being able to be custom programmed with the scalable programming software suite available with VEXcode. The V5 Brain has eight slots to store eight different custom programs for selection and use. There are also a number of other custom programming options available.
Each kit is designed to address a different need in the robotics community, from a fundamental classroom curriculum to an advanced robotics competition team. These kits provide significant savings over purchasing the parts in individual packs and include many useful parts which might be overlooked.
V5 Classroom Starter Kit
The Classroom Starter Kit Includes everything needed to build the V5 Clawbot which will provide an engaging hands-on teaching tool. In addition, two 3-Wire Bumper Switches are included to show the relationship between sensors and robot behavior. This kit is the most affordable option to start integrating robotics and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) into a school curriculum.
Science topics can range from principles of mechanics such as motion and mechanical advantage, to electrical concepts and a broad number of other topics.
Some examples of technology topics can include areas such as assembly techniques, computer programming, and control principles.
The Classroom Starter Kit can be used to teach many principles of engineering including things like the digital electronics, engineering design, and iteration.
The V5 Clawbot can bring mathematical concepts to life by providing concrete illustrations of many abstract concepts such as ratios, slope, and measurement conversions.
Ideally, the Classroom Starter Kit can use robotics to bring all of these topics together to develop life-long skills of communication, teamwork, creative thinking, and problem solving. These skills will contribute to a rewarding life and a successful workforce development for the future.
The Classroom Starter Kit pairs seamlessly with the VEX standards-aligned STEM Labs.
V5 Classroom Super Kit
With over 1500 parts the V5 Classroom Super Kit has everything a classroom could want when designing and assembling robots. There are additional parts from all four VEX EDR product lines. Some of the notable additions include:
The V5 Electronics includes 2 additional V5 Smart Motors, the Legacy Ultrasonic Range Finder and two Potentiometers, plus the Vision Sensor. The Ultrasonic range finder can measure the distances between the sensor and other objects, while the Potentiometer can measure the orientation of rotation of a shaft. The revolutionary Vision Sensor detects colors and shapes and can be programmed to identify and track objects.
The Motion products include four of each type of wheels available for VEX EDR system. This allows for investigation of the differences of behavior in wheels of different diameters and allows for exploration into multi-directional holonomic drive systems through the use of Omni-Directional and Mecanum Wheels. High Strength Sprockets and chain are also included in the Super Kit, as well as the V5 Claw Assembly. In addition, there are parts which are usually purchased through the specialty kits, these include: the Advanced Mechanics and Motion Kit, the Linear Motion Kit, the Winch and Pulley Kit, the Tank Tread Kit, and the Tank Tread Upgrade Kit. These parts allow for a multitude of different mechanical motions and applications.
The Structural components include a larger amount of the types of components included in the Classroom Starter Kit and two 15x30 Base Plates. The Base Plates provide a solid platform to assemble mechanisms without having to assemble a robot drivetrain and chassis.
The Tools and accessories in the Super Classroom Kit provide Latex Tubing and additional types of wrenches to compliment the parts which are also included in the Classroom Starter Kit.
The Super Classroom Kit will certainly provide everything necessary to utilize the VEX STEM Labs. The kit provides ample supplies to adapt the V5 system to fulfill the equipment needs of most available curricula for the VEX EDR system. It will also allow for the development of a custom educator-designed curriculum or for integration into an existing STEM curriculum. In addition, the Super Classroom Kit will make an excellent set to introduce robotics within an educational makerspace.
Competition Kits
Where the V5 Classroom Kits are designed specifically to include parts which are ideal for use within a school curriculum, the V5 Competition kits are specifically designed to help middle school, high school, and college robotics teams be competitive when they participate in the middle school/high school VEX Robotics Competition and the college-level VEX U Competition. One major difference between the Classroom kits and the Competition Kits is the Competition Kits include Aluminum Structural components. These aluminum metal pieces are lighter and this provides a competitive advantage because the lighter the structure, the easier it is for motors and pneumatic systems to move it.
The versatility of the V5 Competition Kits will allow teams to be successful in both the Tournament Competitions and the Skills Challenge with custom designed, assembled, and programmed robots.
V5 Competition Starter Kit
The V5 Competition Starter Kit provides a low-cost entry system for the robotics competitions, while providing enough parts to create a competitive robot. Rookie teams can use this kit to learn about game analysis, design, game rules, and how to work cooperatively with their alliance partners.
In addition to the supplies which are also included in the V5 Classroom Starter Kit and the aforementioned Aluminum Structural pieces, the V5 Competition Starter Kit includes the parts from the specialty kits: the Tank Tread Kit, the Tank Tread Upgrade Kit, and the High Strength Sprockets & Chain. These products allow for additional options when designing drivetrains and manipulators.
Also included from the Motion line of parts are two 2.75" Wheels which are ideal for roller claws and support wheels; and Shaft Collars which provide a stronger grip than the Rubber Shaft Collars. These Shaft Collars will hold shafts and components in place during the rigorous interactions which take place during a competition.
The additional parts included within the V5 Competition Starter Kit can make the difference between assembling an annoyance robot whose main function is to get in the opponent robots' way and assembling a custom robot which is actively playing the game!
V5 Competition Super Kit
The V5 Competition Super Kit is the "Super" of the Super kits! With over 4,000 parts, it contains just about everything a robotics team could desire. The purpose of this kit is to provide many parts to allow teams to create customized robots and not starter robots like the V5 Clawbot. For instance, the V5 Claw Assembly is not included in the kit and in its place numerous Structural and Motion components are included which can be used to assemble custom-designed manipulatives.
These kits are ideal for a grant-funded rookie team, a team looking to take their competition to the next level, or a program looking to add additional teams without straining their current parts inventory.
Some of the notable supplies contained the V5 Competition Super Kit are eight Smart Motors, four 4" Traction Wheels, four 4" Omni-Directional Wheels, High-strength Shafts with Hardware which can support larger and heavier assemblies, and the Vision Sensor.
The Vision Sensor can take a competitive robot to the next level of intelligent behavior. Plus, there are thousands of additional parts to allow a robotics team to design, assemble, and program a competitive robot which will frequently visit the tournament's Alliance Captain's station for the elimination rounds and bring home the awards!

Q: How to auto tweet via API in php using localhost? I am new to PHP. I have the following code and i seriously would like to have the result posted as a tweet via its API. Can anybody provide an example code how would i be able to achieve that result? I think the twitter API script should go after the submit button or so. Also when i created twitter application for this, they asked me for a url but how can i provide it? Since i am using xampp server to run PHP scripts on port number 9999. So would entering localhost:9999 in the url work? Please and thanks...

<form action="abc.php" method="POST">
<textarea rows="5" cols="50" name="typehere"></textarea>

<input type="submit" class="button" value="tweet this">

<input type="reset" class="button" value="Clear">
</from>

<?php
  error_reporting(0);
  $tweet = $_POST["typehere"];
  echo "The following tweet has been tweeted.";
  echo $tweet;

?>

A: Try using the API "twitter-php"
This is the official website with a tutorial
https://code.google.com/p/twitter-php/
You need more than "text message" : the username and the password

A: Well using the Twitter API is a bit more complicated than that.
You can use Twitter's REST Api, who works like a charm. You'll need to authenticate the user before posting, and some other things.
The complete and easy documentation is there : https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update

Hooked Great White Shark Attacks Swimmer
A great white shark broke free from a fisherman's line and then swam off and savaged a long-distance swimmer.
The unnamed victim was taken to hospital with wounds to his stomach and chest in the attack off southern California's Manhattan Beach.
One report said he is in a critical condition.
The incident began when a man fishing off Manhattan Beach Pier hooked the 10ft (3m) shark.
He spent 30 minutes trying to reel in the shark before the line broke.
Los Angeles County Fire Department said the same agitated shark attacked the victim about 40 minutes later.
He was training with a group of long-distance swimmers about 300 yards (270m) from the pier when he was bitten.
A surfer put him on his board and took him ashore.
Another surfer, Aram Ozen, said at first people thought the victim was having trouble swimming.
Then they heard the swimmers screaming "white, white!" referring to a great white shark.
"It was a scary scream," Mr Ozen told the LA Times. "It was kind of freaky. There were a lot people screaming back to shore."
The attack follows a series of shark sightings in the area.

Radio Helsinki Listener! Hard to believe we are so far into our time together. I hope you have been digging all the music that's been coming to you on this show.
Inconsequential factoid: Our second track by the Stooges, T.V. Eye, is from the Stooges second LP, Fun House, which happens to be my favorite album. I like it so much, I don't play it all that often. It is so full on, I find it difficult to put myself through it more than a few times a year. A few hours ago, I was in the almost permanently snarled traffic of Los Angeles, driving north back into Hollywood and passed by 962 La Cienega Blvd., the building where Fun House was recorded in 1970. It's one of my favorite LA landmarks. Black Flag's Damaged album was recorded a few blocks away eleven years later. I always thought that was cool.
Whenever I can, I try to check out places where something interesting happened, old venues, locations where bands made records, etc. Living in New York City was great for that. One time, I was standing outside what used to be the Fillmore East, with Wayne Kramer of the MC5. He showed me the exact spot he stood at some point in the late 1960's trying to keep a fight from starting. Whenever I walk by that intersection, I stand in that spot for a minute and remember that. A couple of years ago, I was in NYC to see Dinosaur Jr. do a week of shows. We were all staying near CBGB's on Bowery. I hadn't been inside the building for years. It's a clothing store now. I walked in and immediately a security guy started watching me. The place had been pretty much gutted of what was there before but the more I looked around, I was able to get my bearings. At one point, I was standing where I had been sitting with Iggy in there one night in the mid 1990's and remembering that. I looked over from there and stared at the area where I stood with Joey Ramone and watched the Dictators play. It was the last time I saw Joey. I was taking it all in and noticed that everyone in the place was staring at me. Finally, one of the sales people walked over and asked, "Did you play here?" I could tell that he didn't know me but perhaps he had grown used to seeing grizzled old men doing what I was doing. There is no way they don't have people from "back in the day" coming in there now and then. Too many amazing shows happened in that place for that not to happen.
One of the things I like about music the most is that there is almost always more to the story, that experiences related to music can run so deep, they can make an incredibly deep impact on your life. This is what I want. I want things to happen to me that leave a mark, that change the way I think, that stay with me for years. Like you, I have had a lot of things happen to me. As far as I can think, the most impactful events of my life have a connection to music. I think I'm lucky that things went this way. I like being a fan. I like getting excited that a new record is coming out, or when I find out something about a band that I had never known before. It keeps things in perspective. There is always more to know, always more to check out.
As one does in life, you sometimes come to the end of things. Jobs, friendships, whatever, almost nothing lasts forever, or maintains the same level of relevance as time goes on. I have come to the end of a lot of things. There are things I just don't do anymore, people I never see and might never see again but the thing that never causes me to lose interest, is music. I have to qualify that. There was a time in the late 1990's when I was on a major label, where I became so sick of the music industry that I stopped going to record stores. I didn't listen to much music and mostly read and wrote. This lasted a few months but then I was back. It was mostly disgust with the people I was around. I was getting sick from their overwhelming cynicism and apathy. Things got better. I don't think that will ever happen again. I would like to think that the music knew I would be back.
Your life is something you show up for. This is how I think of music. I keep showing up, it keeps showing up to meet me. This is why, when I am not trying to expand my musical appreciation by checking out new records, I go back to the ones I have had for decades. Every time I play them, it's a reminder and reaffirmation of where I come from and what it's all about. I am from Washington, DC but really, I am from all the shows I went to and all the records I heard when I was living there.
Everyone's different and registers information in their own way. For me, music is more than music. It's code, fidelity, a way of being. That is to say, when in doubt, or in complete certainty, put a record on. I hope you dig the show. As I have been writing this, I have been listening to all the tracks. Our last one for the show, Hawkwind's mighty Orgone Accumulator from their peerless Space Ritual album, is playing right now. Perfect timing!
Until next week, keep it turning.

Guerra deals, Thames homers to lift Brewers over Reds 2-0
MILWAUKEE — Eric Thames hit a two-run homer to back a three-hitter from Junior Guerra and three relievers, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers over the Cincinnati Reds 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Reds starter Sal Romano (0-2) had a two-hit shutout going before Lorenzo Cain walked and Thames sent the first pitch he saw over the wall in right for his team-leading sixth home run. Thames was back in the lineup after leaving Sunday's game with a left groin strain and sitting Monday.
Guerra limited Cincinnati to a single and three walks over 5 2/3 innings, striking out seven. Dan Jennings (2-0) finished up the sixth, Jeremy Jeffress retired three straight in the seventh and Josh Hader pitched the final two innings for his second save despite allowing a two-out double in the ninth to Tucker Barnhart.
Romano allowed two runs and four hits in five-plus innings, striking out four and walking two.
Ryan Braun and Orlando Arcia each had two hits for Milwaukee.
Yelich returns
Outfielder Christian Yelich was activated from the 10-day disabled list after recovering from a strained right oblique, and right-handed reliever Jorge Lopez was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs of the Pacific Coast League.
Yelich was available off the bench Tuesday night but did not play. Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Yelich probably will start in Wednesday's series finale.
"Getting Christian back is really important," Counsell said. "Yesterday was a day when we probably had four guys out of the lineup that were in our planned lineup for the first day. But that's a baseball season. It's going to happen."
Yelich, acquired in an offseason trade with Miami, hit 39 homers during the past two seasons with the Marlins. He hit .385 with one homer and five RBIs this season before going on the DL.
Reds right-hander Ariel Hernandez, who appeared in three games at Double-A Pensacola this season, was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor leaguers — pitcher Zach Neal and 1B Ibandel Isabel. Hernandez made 19 relief appearances in four stints with the Reds last season with a 5.18 ERA.
Trainer's room
Reds: C Devin Mesoraco left in the sixth inning with a bruised right wrist. X-rays were negative, the team announced. ... OF Scott Schebler (right ulnar nerve contusion) was scheduled to play a second straight rehab game for Double-A Pensacola and could be activated Wednesday. ... RHP David Hernandez (right shoulder inflammation) threw 25 pitches in a simulated game.
Brewers: Veteran LHP Wade Miley was added to the roster at Double-A Biloxi. Miley signed as a minor league free agent in the offseason and injured his groin late in spring training. ... LHP Logan Boone, on the 10-day DL (left triceps), probably will throw a bullpen session sometime this week.
Reds: RHP Tyler Mahle (1-2, 5.63) makes his fourth start in the series finale Wednesday. After allowing one hit over six scoreless innings for the victory in his first start, he has given up 10 runs in 10 innings in his last two outings.
Brewers: RHP Zach Davies (0-2, 6.75) has allowed 12 earned runs in 16 innings in his first three starts. He gave up five runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 in his last start, a 6-5 loss to the Mets.

Catholic Charities launches elder care program in San Bernardino
By Gregory Kirwin
SAN BERNARDINO—Catholic Charities is connecting seniors to resources, vital information and healthy food. The "Elder Care Program: Life Skills Training" is holding classes at both the Magnolia at Highland Senior Apartment and the Catholic Charities 92411 "Hope in the City" Family Resource Center in San Bernardino.
Catholic Advocacy Day includes local visits with legislators
By Jeanette Arnquist
By our baptism, Catholics are committed to following Jesus Christ and to be "salt for the earth, light for the nations." As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, "It is necessary that all participate, each according to his position and role, in promoting the common good. This is inherent in the dignity of the human person ... As far as possible citizens should take an active part in public life"
On May 4, Sr. Carmel Crimmins, Maria Guadalupe Ortiz, Cohinda Gomez and I met with Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod as part of the Diocese of San Bernardino's local effort to support Catholic Advocacy Day.
Catholic Advocacy Day is sponsored by the California Catholic Conference (CCC) as part of its effort to involve ordinary Catholics in impacting legislation that has a moral dimension. For the last 14 years, the CCC has organized an advocacy event in Sacramento. The Diocese of San Bernardino, as most of the dioceses of California, has participated in these days by forming parishioners in the issues and advocacy skills and organizing the effort to get to Sacramento and visit the legislators.
The CCC begins the process by carefully selecting about four bills addressing issues where the Church's teaching is clear and where Catholic voices can make a difference. It seems that the budget is always up for discussion. The U.S. Bishops' letter Economic Justice for All has taught us that the moral measure of a budget is how it treats the poor and vulnerable among us.
This year the Diocese of San Bernardino chose to make local visits instead of traveling to Sacramento. Between April 24 and May 4, five visits were held in offices of assembly members and state senators representing different areas of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Of course, our legislators did not agree with us on all of the issues, but there was some common ground with each of them. Following the visits, reports were completed and filed with the CCC. They will be available on their web site soon.
We spoke about the CCC's position of five bills and the state budget. The CCC opposes SB 1388, which would allow nurse practitioners and physicians assistants to perform abortions. Fortunately, this bill died in committee. The CCC supports SB 2353 which would allow persons owning a reliable vehicle to receive CalWorks, a temporary financial assistance program for families with children; SB 1462 which would allow the medical release of terminal ill inmates from jails; SB 1088 which would permit students leaving juvenile hall to return to regular classrooms, subject to the recommendation of their probation officer; and SB1064 which would put the infrastructure in place so that undocumented parents who are deported would be able to make arrangements for their citizen children. We talked about the difficulties with the state budget and appealed for schools to be spared from the proposed cuts.
Last year our voices were successful and three of the Catholic Advocacy Day bills were passed: AB 130 and 131, the California Dream Act and AB 6 which would lessen the paperwork required to obtain food stamps, now known as the CalFresh program. Part of this success is attributed to participation in the Catholic Legislative Network by over 15,000 local Catholics, who are called upon to support the efforts with emails. People who have not yet joined can do so from the convenience of their computer by visiting the CCC web site at www.cacatholic.org.
We look forward to continuing to raise our voices for life, for justice and for the common good!
Jeanette Arnquist is the Director of the Ministry of Life, Dignity and Justice for the Diocese San Bernardino.

Houghton Mifflin recently published its 2008 edition of The Best American Essays with Adam Gopnik serving as guest editor. The Best American series is always a good showcase of the year's finest offerings in a genre, and a reliable gauge of each form's contemporary direction.
While this collection is led, as usual, by standout pieces from the New Yorker and Harper's, it also culls some brilliant offerings from smaller magazines and literary journals, providing a modest cross-section of the essay-writing talent in the independent press. Pieces from PMS (Poem Memoir Story), Transition, Pinch, Swink, and Open City have all made the cut.
Part of the fun of these collections for essay-geeks like me is to see which luminary they've invited to guest edit. David Foster Wallace presided over last year's collection, and the essays he chose had an immediacy that previous editions lacked; several of them addressed pressing issues like war, class, and politics, contradicting the frequent charge that personal essays are too solipsistic.
Certainly people attack the memoir, and the memoir essay, in exactly the way people once attacked the novel. . . as vulgar and above all self-indulgent. But "self-indulgent," fairly offered, means that expression is in too great an ascendance over communication. . . .In truth, the impulse to argument that is part of the essay's inheritance. . . makes the memoir essay, even of the mushiest sort, the least self-indulgent of forms, the one where the smallest display of self for self's sake is practical. A novelist can muse motionlessly for pages on the ebb and flow of life, but if an essayist hasn't arrived at the point by the top of page three. . . if the leap into a higher general case, from the specific "I" to the almost universal "you" doesn't take place quickly, the essay won't work. . . . Memoir essays move us not because they are self-indulgent, but because they are other-indulgent, and the other they indulge is us, with our own parallel inner stories of loss and confusion and mixed emotions.
Gopnik and the series editor, Robert Atwan, have chosen big names like David Sedaris, Lauren Slater, and Jonathan Lethem to sit alongside relatively obscure writers: Joe Wenderoth, Patricia Brieschke, and the British-Sudanese novelist Jamal Mahjoub.
I'm personally hoping John O'Connor's "The Boil" makes it into next year's collection—but I won't hold my breath.
Academic writers will be working on the plan and you can imagine nothing but the best probable results. It does not matter if the selected topic is difficult, as they have both the essential experience and the http://discussessays.com/ the most varied essays.
As a writer and reader of what might be called the "literary essay," I'm always surprised to see the essay genre attacked as a form of self-indulgence. I'd venture to say one could lay claim to the same accusation for writing a poem, a short work of fiction, a novel, or nearly any other writing genre that goes beyond the purely denotative or informational. The unfortunate part about relying on the generic self-indulgent critique is that it bypasses something much more essential, and that's whether what has been written is good writing.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery in which small incisions (3-10 mm wide) are made, typically one in the naval, which is the most common site for the scope (laparoscope) to be inserted. Two or three smaller incisions may be made along the sides of the abdomen, for the passage of highly specialized surgical instruments. Attached to the end of the laparoscope is a light source and a camera which transmits images from inside the patients abdomen to television screens for the surgeon and the surgical team to view in high resolution.
The benefits of laparoscopy include smaller incisions, shorter recovery time, and less pain and scar tissue. Recovery depends upon the procedure performed and the severity of the condition. Generally, patients can return to normal activity with few restrictions 1-2 weeks after surgery.

Accused turns accuser against Bill Browder's claims of corruption
Browder has been a thorn in the side of the Moscow authorities for years. But one Russian firm, which is accused of wrongdoing, now claims that the financier himself is tainted
Michael Bow & Mark Hollingsworth
The former hedge fund boss Bill Browder has become the world's highest profile campaigner against Russian corruption since the death of his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow jail cell.
He has published a bestselling book on his experiences and successfully campaigned for a "Magnitsky Act" in Washington, listing and sanctioning officials claimed to have been linked to the death.
He has been hailed for taking on some of Russia's most dangerous and wealthy people, all in the name of human rights and justice.
But now he has been dragged into a high stakes legal battle in the US in which a company which is fighting a US Government lawsuit has itself made allegations about his actions while doing business in Russia. The US Government has rejected the claims and says the accusations against him are "false" and "baseless".
Sources close to him dismiss the allegations as an outrageous smear campaign, coming as they do from a Russian linked property company desperately fighting allegations that it benefited from a giant fraud committed on Mr Browder's Russian hedge fund Hermitage Capital Management. But they are doubtless unwelcome for the man who has become as famous for his human rights campaigning as for his former career as a successful hedge fund manager.
His accuser, a company called Prevezon, is said by the US government to have benefited from the $230m (£152m) tax refund fraud in 2007 on Mr Browder's Russian Hermitage fund.
In a court filing, Prevezon has claimed Mr Browder himself could have conducted an elaborate scheme to help defraud his own company. This, it claims, would have enabled him to avoid arrest by the Russian authorities.
The US government has rejected Prevezon's claims against Mr Browder as "false" and "meritless" in its legal filings.
Property owned by the Prevezon group in New York has been seized by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with the case. The US is seeking asset forfeiture and money laundering fines from Prevezon. A hearing is scheduled for 6 January.
US authorities have been going after the alleged perpetrators and beneficiaries of the fraud since Magnistky died in 2009. The court filing made by Prevezon, led by businessman Denys Katsyv, alleges: "Browder and his agents engaged in a series of misrepresentations to execute the fraud, to distance themselves from it, and to pin it on the Russian officials investigating Browder for a separate tax fraud his companies committed."
The latest filing from the Prevezon camp, one of 440 submitted by both sides in the case, also alleges that the DOJ "now tells a completely different story" in its case, allegedly in an attempt "to protect Browder from charges that he sold out Sergei Magnitsky" after Magnitsky was thrown in prison.
The US government has said Mr Katsyv's claims were "meritless and irrelevant factual contentions" and that the defendants "explicitly agree that a massive fraud was committed".
"The defendants spent the bulk of their motion arguing with aspects of it, including accusing the victims of the Russian frauds of being its perpetrators. These accusations are false and based on an incredibly selective and inaccurate presentation of the evidence," the government said.
Hermitage was at its peak Russia's largest foreign investor. The fund was launched by Mr Browder and co-founder Edmond Safra in 1996, but relations with the Russian state turned sour in 2008, when Hermitage claimed it had $230m in tax rebates stolen through a complex fraud.
The Russian authorities raided Hermitage's offices in 2007 and Mr Browder's firm said this laid the ground for a complex scheme allegedly to steal the money, which involved the forgery of documents obtained in the raid.
Magnitsky, who was investigating the fraud claims, was subsequently arrested by Russian authorities but died in prison.
The US government has since gone after individuals it believes benefited from the alleged fraud. The DOJ froze Mr Katsyv's assets, after accusing his company of laundering some of the alleged proceeds.
Challenges by Prevezon over the US's complaint were dismissed twice by the district court in November 2014 and more recently in October 2015. The second circuit appeals court also dismissed the challenge in July 2015.
The Swiss General Prosecutor has also launched a criminal money laundering investigation into the alleged $230m fraud. So far about $40m of assets have been frozen by authorities around the world looking into the case.
Red Notice: Who is bill Browder?
There aren't many investors who have stepped out of the shadow of the Square Mile and changed the global justice system – but Bill Browder is one of them.
His dogged pursuit of justice for Sergei Magnitsky, the lawyer and accountant who was found dead in a Russian prison, sparked an overhaul of human rights laws. Born in the US, Mr Browder, whose grandfather was once a US presidential candidate, spent most of his career working in London's financial districts, joining Boston Consulting Group's offices in Mayfair before stints at Robert Maxwell's MCC conglomerate and the London outpost of US investment bank Salomon Brothers. But his discreet career was shattered by the collapse of Hermitage Capital, his $4bn Russian hedge fund, and the subsequent death of Magnitsky.
Forced into the spotlight, his campaign for justice caught the world's attention.
Mr Browder went to Capitol Hill and won the support of leading senators such as John McCain and Joe Lieberman for. The Magnitsky Act, which was signed into law by President Obama in 2012, was hailed as a major breakthrough in human rights laws. Mr Browder has since published a well-received book, Red Notice, leading to a string of TV appearances including an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
A human rights award has also been set up in honour of Magnitsky and Mr Browder has become a leading activist, appearing as a speaker at places such as the Oxford Union. The shockwaves from the Magnitsky Act are still being felt – and will mean Mr Browder stays in the limelight for some time to come.

VIDEO: Division II Augustana stuns Iowa with buzzer-beating win
By Scott PhillipsNov 7, 2015, 10:00 AM EST
Iowa lost its exhibition finale in stunning fashion on Friday night as Division II powerhouse Augustana University topped the Hawkeyes, 76-74, on a buzzer-beater from senior forward Daniel Jensen.
Trailing by as many as 15 points, Iowa made a furious comeback, but ultimately fell short to the national title contender from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. While losing to a Division II school at home doesn't look good for the Hawkeyes, Augustana has been rated as the No. 1 Division II team in the country by multiple publications entering the 2015-16 season. They return five starters from a team that went 31-3 last season. Jensen, the hero who finished with 19 points for Augustana, was grassroots teammates with Iowa seniors Mike Gesell and Adam Woodbury in high school. So these guys can definitely play and the Vikings are probably better than many low-major Division I programs.
There are some concerning elements to this loss for Iowa, however. They were outrebounded, 42-35, in the game and lost despite the Vikings missing 13 of their first 14 shots. Depth has also been a bit of an issue for head coach Fran McCaffery during the preseason as he's trying to figure out which of his new pieces can play right away. As Don Doxsie of the Quad City Times noted, reserves like Dom Uhl, Ahmad Wagner, Andrew Fleming and Christian Williams didn't play at all in the second half against Augustana.
It also appears that freshman shooting guard Isaiah Moss will redshirt this season with freshman forward Brandon Hutton being a candidate to do that as well.
Losses to Division II schools during exhibition play can be embarrassing for fans, but with the game not counting for anything, it really doesn't mean a thing. This kind of loss could either be a wake-up call for an Iowa team that has to address some concerns, or a sign of things to come.
