Israel's 'Prisoners of War' tops The NY Times' 30 best international TV shows of the decade
December 23, 2019 by Arye Green -TPS
Israeli TV received global recognition on Friday when the New York Times chose Israel's "Prisoners of War" as the best international TV show of the decade.
The series was created by Israeli director, screenwriter and producer Gideon Raff. In 2010 it won the Israeli Academy Award for Television for Best Drama Series.
The TV show was acquired by 20th Century Fox Television before it aired in Israel, and was adapted into the acclaimed series Homeland for Showtime in the US. It was also adapted into shows in India and Russia.
The series, set in 2008, depicts three IDF soldiers who were captured 17 years previously while on a secret mission with their unit in Lebanon.
The series explores the reintegration of the soldiers into Israeli society, which has made them national symbols, and into interrupted family life while working through the trauma of having been held captive and tortured.
The New York Times called the series an "intelligent political thriller," praising its deep characters."Tense but in a quiet, leisurely, realistic style; a taut and intelligent political thriller that was above all a melancholy, at times heartbreaking character study of soldiers and families damaged by war," the New York Times described the show.
The list of the world's 30 best TV shows in the last decade included Israeli show Fauda, which came in eighth.
Fauda, a show about an Israeli counterterrorism unit, was described as an "absorbing, straightforward thriller" that "exploits the exigencies and emotions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its dusty, mazelike locales."
The New York Times' honourable mentions included two more Israeli shows, "Our Boys" and "Shtisel."

At Avnet Law, we help clients navigate through complex family law issues including divorce, child custody, child support, parenting time, contempt hearings, guardianships, paternity issues, and adoption.
At Avnet Law, our Noblesville, Indiana family law lawyer understands understand how stressful divorce and other family law matters can be on the entire family. We will help you determine the most strategic way to approach your case and will aggressively represent your interests through every step of the proceedings.
Call 1-877-77-AVNET to speak with an experienced family law attorney in Indiana.
If you are facing a family law issue, turn to Avnet Law for legal guidance. We understand the profound impact that divorce, child custody proceedings, and other cases can have on our clients' personal and financial wellbeing. We provide ethical, compassionate, and skilled representation in a variety of family law matters.
Ending a marriage comes with a long list of complicated tasks: negotiating a fair division of assets, rearranging your financial accounts, and timely filing the necessary paperwork. If there were children born during the marriage, the legal issues of custody, child support, and parenting time complicate an already difficult and emotional legal issue. Any mistakes during the proceedings could result in financial turmoil but can also affect your future relationships with your children. With so much at stake, it's important that you hire a talented divorce attorney to help you overcome any legal hurdles you will encounter.
Often times, a previous child custody arrangement is no longer in the best interests of the children. We can advise you regarding child custody modifications and advocate on your behalf. If you and your spouse are unable to find common ground regarding the current child custody arrangement, turn to Avnet Law for guidance. We will explain the differences between legal and physical custody, the factors that the court will consider when awarding or modifying custody, and we will help you take the necessary steps to give your case the best chance of success.
The other side of custody is parenting time. The non-custodial parent receives parenting time ("visitation") with their children. At Avnet Law, we frequently encounter clients who do not have a parenting time schedule in place. The result is that the custodial parent often decides themselves when the non-custodial parent will see the children and sometimes even denies the non-custodial parent visitation altogether based on the parties' relationship at a given time. This obviously does not work for the non-custodial parent. Indiana has very specific rules regarding parenting time for children of different ages, including school breaks, summer, and holidays. Parents are guaranteed a certain minimum amount of parenting time per the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines. If you are concerned that you do not have enough parenting time, or if you feel the custodial parent is abusing your parenting time rights, turn to Avnet Law to discuss and remedy your situation. We can either arrange a parenting time schedule or modify an existing parenting time agreement based on current circumstances. We can also assist if you have reason to believe that your children's other parent is a threat to their safety and parenting time should be curtailed or there should be supervised parenting time.
Whether you will be receiving payments for child support or you will be paying child support, it is important that the amount of support is calculated correctly pursuant to Indiana law. Frequently, a change in income or employment in either party affects the current child support calculation making a modification of child support necessary. Indiana has specific laws regarding the modification of child support. We can help you determine the correct amount of child support and assist with modifications as well as child support enforcement actions.
If you are not a child's parent but you would like to attain legal custody, contact Avnet Law to discuss how to proceed.
If a child is born to unmarried parents, any legal issue surrounding the children is considered a paternity action. Without a legal paternity determination, the father has no rights to custody or parenting time with the child. Once it is legally established that a man is a child's father, the father has rights and responsibilities. We can assist you in establishing that a person is the father of a minor child, establishing custody based on that determination, as well as with the related issues of parenting time, and child support for the parties based on paternity.
At Avnet Law, we can assist you with many types of adoption cases including relative adoptions and step-parent adoptions.
Drafting a prenuptial agreement not only protects your assets in the event of a divorce but also ensures that you are getting married without any false expectations. There are specific elements that must be included in a prenuptial agreement for it to be legally enforceable. This is where an Indiana divorce lawyer from Avnet Law can help.
We will treat you as if you are our only client, making ourselves available after office hours and on weekends to answer your questions. To schedule a free, no-obligation consultation, call us today at 1-877-77-AVNET.
Avnet Law represents clients in Hamilton County (Noblesville, Fishers, Carmel, and Westfield) and Marion County (Indianapolis).

I decided when I was pregnant this time I would get a bit more educated. I really wanted to avoid the meds I felt had caused me so many problems the first time around. I heard about hypnobabies on one of the forums I'm on and decided that was the way to go. I listened to the scripts almost every night, but wasn't very good about doing the practice (5 finger drops each day, etc) they talk about. Well, I have to say, it still worked.
My labor story is actually quite long. I began having some contractions on November 7. My mucous plug started coming out and I thought things were really getting going. I called my mom to drive up (2 hours) to take care of DS1 so we could go have a baby . I made cupcakes for the nurses and just got myself ready to go. Well, things petered out. I was 3 cm dilated on Monday when I went to my OB appointment. Let me tell you what a joy I was to be around over the next week as I continued to have to go to work and have contractions but nothing really progressed into real labor. By the end of the week, I had resigned myself to never having the baby.
I fell asleep early on Friday the 15th with my first son. I woke up about 1:30 and the baby was doing some really weird movement that hurt. After I got done pushing on him and telling him to stop, I felt some liquid. I still had to pee so I decided my water must have broken. DH was still up playing his game and I've never seen him shut down his laptop so fast. I was like it's no big deal. I'm not even having contractions. We watched an episode of 30 Rock on the DVR during which I had 1 or 2 contractions and then I decided to go downstairs and make some brownies for the nurses. I called my sister and she insisted on coming over to be with DS. I was still in denial I was really in labor but told her to do what she wanted. While the brownies were baking, I took a shower, washed my hair, and shaved my legs. I then got the load of diaper laundry out of the dryer and got my DS1's trainers all set for use while I was in the hospital. Then, I went back and french braided my hair. At this point, my sister had gotten to my house and kept telling me to go to the hospital as my contractions were like 3 minutes apart.
We got to the hospital at around 4:30 and had to go to triage where the nurses had me in a wheelchair and were ignoring me. I kept telling them I needed to get in, that my contractions were 2 minutes apart and my water had already broken. They finally got me in a room and 2 nurses had to check me as the first nurse couldn't believe I was complete. I did ask for drugs about this time. I think the baby must have been posterior because the sensations in my back were pretty intense. I wasn't able to get up on all 4s or do any of the different positions to turn him. I also wasn't totally in hypnosis right then since I had gotten so agitated trying to get seen. The journey up to L&D wasn't my favorite time, but it was bearable.
The doctor came in very shortly after I got to L&D and suggested I try to move to my back for pushing since I have babies with big heads and that would give him some more room to pass through my pelvis. That didn't seem like a bad idea to me at the time so I gave it a try. My nurses were wonderful. They just stood back and watched. The one nurse applied a little pressure to my one knee once in awhile to remind me to keep my legs spread to give the baby plenty of room, but she never made any comments. I pushed for probably 20 minutes. It was the coolest thing ever feeling the baby moving down slowly and just breathing him out. I can't even describe how amazing that was to me. It truly was a relief after making it through transition :). The nurses were all in awe of how I didn't make any noise. I was just doing really deep breaths.
Baby arrived at 5:45 am. He weighed 8 lb 6 oz and was 20.75″ long.

Guatemalan Arrests Look to Bury Bloody Legacy
Guatemala has taken another tentative step towards confronting its bloody past with the arrest of 14 ex-military officers accused of overseeing the massacre of several thousand indigenous civilians during the country's 36-year civil war. The civilians belonged to the Mayan Achi ethnic group and in recent years numerous mass graves have been uncovered containing their butchered remains.
Benedicto Lucas Garcia smiles on his arrest. He is accused of forming several government-sponsored paramilitary groups involved in numerous atrocities during the civil war (Source: Moises Castillo)
The reason for the slaughter of these peasant people was their supposed support for Marxist guerrillas operating against the nationalist government. One of those accused is Manuel Benedicto Lucas Garcia, brother of former President Fernando Romeo Lucas Garcia (1978-1982).
As with several other Central American countries, Guatemala became a battleground for the forces of nationalism and socialism after the conclusion of the Second World War. In 1954, the government of Jacobo Arbenz was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup for his apparent leftist sympathies and his threat to nationalise the land of the United Fruit Company.
'These events were witnessed by a young Argentine doctor, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, who was to become the embodiment of the US government's worst fears of Marxist penetration of the Americas'. (Williamson, 2009)
A young 'Che Guevara' was radicalised by the events of 1954 in Guatemala
The corrupt and brutal tendencies of the succeeding nationalist governments – along with the success of the Cuban Revolution – inspired a major guerrilla insurgency in Guatemala in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, just as occurred in Nicaragua and El Salvador. In each case, the US government was steadfast in its support for the forces of anti-communism, whatever barbarities they perpetrated against their own people.
When the US did withdraw support for a tyrant, Nicaragua's Anastasio Somoza, the Marxist Sandinista Front soon took control of the country and provoked a messy crisis in Washington during the tenure of Ronald Reagan.
Lucas Garcia was deposed in 1982 by a group of junior Army officers led by Efrain Rios Montt and the next three years would be characterised by a diabolical military dictatorship, during which time the genocide of the Achi reached its climax. An estimated 80,000 of these people were killed or 'disappeared' during the civil war (which officially lasted from 1960 until 1996).
Villagers carry the remains of their loved ones after the exhumation of a mass grave in 2012
Throughout the 1980s, the Reagan administration continued to supply the Guatemalan Army with advanced military technology and weapons. A reconciliation commission has in the last few years determined that it was the Army that was responsible for 80% of the atrocities during the civil war.
Even the election of a civilian leader – Vinicio Cerezo – in 1986 did not stop the extra-judicial killings, with various paramilitaries stepping into the void vacated by the Army on the new President's orders.
A thirty-six year civil war is hard to recover from and Guatemala remains racked by internal divisions, not to mention poverty and political corruption. The arrest of these 14 high-ranking generals, whilst not unprecedented, provides hope that finally those guilty of the worst crimes will be brought to justice.
That the US government continued to support an array of bloody dictators throughout Latin America during the Cold War is a well-known story. Whether it has truly acknowledged its own culpability, or whether it remains committed to the idea that such support was better than allowing a communist bloc to develop in its 'backyard' is a bone of contention.

eden Hudson—writer, mutant, karaoke superstar.
The Opening (That Story I Mentioned Forever Ago)
The chess world held its breath. The grandmaster stared at the board. He knew where every piece was—he could've been playing blindfolded, and had on many occasions—but he couldn't look away. Across the table, an international master, a man in his late twenties, was staring, too.
In the silence, the click of the younger man's swallow sounded like a gunshot. The grandmaster took a deep breath, felt his lungs protest. Forty years worth of smoking did that. Forty years of smoking and a shock like this. He ran through the openings again: the Sicilian, the French Defense, the Italian, Guccio Piano, Ruy Lopez, Caro-Kann, Queen's Gambit… Through their variations. Anything he could remember. The international master was doing the same, he knew.
It couldn't be possible. A new opening?
A new opening.
A new opening that put black in zugswang.
Could it be possible?
The grandmaster stared as though the answer would come to him from the pieces themselves. Common knowledge in the chess world was that all the useful openings had been discovered. To come across one now…
Should he protest? Demand a read-back of all the moves up to this point? See right now whether some mistake had been made along the way to allow this…this thing…to happen.
Had the international master planned this? Had he studied and plotted his days away and lost sleep night after night until he realized that one opening hadn't been discovered?
A glance at the younger man's face showed the grandmaster that he hadn't. He had just played, and damn well. Now here they were.
Here they were.
The grandmaster saw the next twenty-four hours as though he'd already lived them. Officials, along with the rest of the chess world, would start scrambling to refute this opening. It's actually a variation of this, or the game went awry here. Then the future split into two possibilities: When the officials in the chess world announced that this was a new opening that put black in zugswang, the international master became famous, gave interviews, wrote books. Or when they realized there had been a mistake, the international master suffered through a month or two of ridicule before going back to being relatively unknown.
Either way, tonight the international master and his wife would celebrate.
The grandmaster had watched them in the hotel lobby last night after the tournament's third round. The international master had relived the match for her, motioning with his hands and showing her the notations in his notebook. From her expressions the grandmaster had realized she didn't know anything about chess—she didn't even care about the game. What she cared about was the international master's smile, the fact that he was happy, and that he'd won.
The grandmaster looked up from the board. The younger man's awestruck gaze met his. In that second, the grandmaster could see everything in the international master's life: His mother's death during childbirth. His father beating him with the shower curtain rod. The day after he turned fourteen when he grabbed a knife and started fighting back. The rec room of the juvenile correctional facility where he learned to play chess. He read all the letters that the girl at school sent the international master because she wasn't allowed to call him. He felt the softness of her breasts as she hugged the international master the morning of his first day back and the sting of her slap that night when he tried to slide his hand up her skirt. He disappeared with them the night of their senior prom and reappeared the next day to tell her parents they'd gotten married.
When he tried to teach her chess, she refused to learn more than how the pieces moved. Other than how he did, she had no interest in the game. Every time he played, whether she was in the skittles room or looking over his shoulder, he could feel her anticipation. She was his queen and he was her rook; she sent him out to win and he did. In return, she protected him from his nightmares, gave him a son, and never left his side.
Tonight while everyone in the chess world tried to disprove this new opening, the international master and his wife would put their son to sleep, then share a bottle of champagne. It didn't take much alcohol to go to her head. He would help her off with her dress and lay her in bed, then he would make love to her. A little clumsily because he was never much of a drinker, either, but they had been together for so long that what she wanted was built into his muscle memory. In the morning the people who were jealous of the international master's meteoric rise through the rankings would either ridicule him or sulk. Publishers would come at the international master from every side whether he was right or not, begging him to write a book about the opening, his approach to chess, his life story, anything.
The grandmaster blinked and when he opened his eyes the international master was looking at the clock. The grandmaster studied the pieces. Nothing had changed. Four moves for white to checkmate. Six if black moved his knight first.
Was there any chance the kid didn't see it?
No. Everyone saw it.
The grandmaster stopped the clock, then reached across the board and shook the younger man's hand. He finished his notation, posed for a picture with the international master, then cut his way through the crowd. Let the kid have his day.
In the sitting area of the lobby, the international master's wife looked up from her book, then looked away again. This was how she'd been all afternoon, the grandmaster realized. Not reading at all, but waiting, glancing up from the page every time someone came around the corner, hoping every time that it would be her husband. On her lap the infant stirred, but kept sleeping.
The grandmaster pretended that he didn't recognize her as he passed. At the front desk, he put a fifty on the counter and asked for room service to send a good bottle of champagne up to the international master's room.

You are indeed welcome to the website of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.
University of Ibadan is located at Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State in the South-Western part of Nigeria. UI, as the University is fondly referred to, owes its unique character to a combination of historical, geographical, cultural and architectural factors. Its history is a chronicle of the first citadel of higher education established in the country in 1948 as a college of the University of London. It became a full-fledged independent university in 1962, two years after the country's independence from Britain in 1960. It took off with degree programmes in medicine, basic sciences, arts, social sciences and education. It is now a comprehensive university with additional programmes in agriculture and forestry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, technology and law. From students enrolment of 144 in 1948 the population of students increased steadily to approximately 19,521 in 2008/2009 session with 38% postgraduate and 62% undergraduate.
The University can boast of thousands of graduates who have proved themselves in the different sectors of the Nigerian economy and in the world at large. The University has the burden of history as the premier university in the country to continue to provide leadership in the creation and deployment of knowledge to development. Hence, its present vision goal of transforming into a postgraduate, research-driven university with focus on the development of basic and applied research capacity and skills-set towards meeting the growing needs of the tertiary institutions in the country, in particular, and other sectors of the economy, in general.
an attractive campus with its greenery and serenity providing an ideal environment for scholarly pursuits.
The implementation of our Strategic Plan calls for an intensification of our fundraising efforts, the determination of the staff and students to scale new heights of excellence, and the increasing commitment of our alumni/ae to the realization of our collective vision. Together we strive; together we shall succeed.
Once again, you are welcome to visit our website designed to meet the diverse needs of our visitors.
The University College, Ibadan, was founded in 1948. At first, it occupied the old site previously used by the 56th Military General Hospital about eight kilometers away from the 'new' or permanent site. The new site covered over 1,032 hectares of land generously leased by the chiefs and people of Ibadan for 999 years. With equipment transferred from Yaba Higher College, the 104 foundation students (including 49 students in teacher training and survey courses) began their courses at Ibadan, on 18 January, 1948; the formal opening took place on 25 March, 1948. In February, 1948, London University allowed Ibadan its special relationship scheme. Arthur Creech Jones, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, and an influential member of the Elliot Commission, turned the first sod at the permanent site of the University College, on 17 November, 1948, which became the Foundation Day.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, well-to-do Africans in Lagos met the need for higher education by sending their children overseas for professional training. Some of these returned to press for the establishment of institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. Not much progress was made until the 1930s. In Nigeria, the Yaba Higher College (established in 1932, but formally opened in 1934) and the Yaba Medical School (established in 1930), which granted diplomas and certificates in selected subjects, hardly satisfied the aspirations of those who longed for university education.

This CellML model has been built with the differential expressions (equations 1-10) in Wein et al.'s 1998 paper. This CellML runs in both OpenCell and COR and the units are consistent. Parameter values are taken from table 1 in the paper, and r1=0.9, p1=0.99, r2=p2=0.25 (as in figure 3). However the CellML model does not recreate the results published in figure 3.
ABSTRACT: Motivated by the ability of combinations of antiretroviral agents to sustain viral suppression in HIV-1-infected individuals, we analyse the transient and steady-state behavior of a mathematical model of HIV-1 dynamics in vivo in order to predict whether these drug regimens can eradicate HIV-1 or maintain viral loads at low levels. The model incorporates two cell types (CD4+ T cells and a long-lived pool of cells), two strains of virus (drug-sensitive wild type and drug-resistant mutant) and two types of antiretroviral agents (reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors). The transient behavior of the cells and virus and the eventual eradication of the virus are determined primarily by the strength of the combination therapy against the mutant strain and the maximum achievable increase in the uninfected CD4+ T cell concentration. We also predict, if the parameters of the model remain constant during therapy, that less intensive maintenance regimens will be unable to maintain low viral loads for extensive periods of time. However, if the reduction in viral load produced by therapy reduces the state of activation of the immune system, the number of cells susceptible for HIV-1 infection may decrease even though total CD4+ T cells increase. Our model predicts that if this occurs strong inductive therapy that reduces viral load followed by weaker maintenance regimes may succeed.

How Old Was Emmy Rossum as Dead Daughter in Mystic River?
January 10, 2021 • by Anne De Guia
In January 2016, Mystic River actress Emmy Rossum showed some support for her fiancé Sam Esmail at the 6th Annual Critics' Choice Television Awards held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

How old was Emmy Rossum as Katie Markum in Mystic River?
13 years earlier, she gained recognition for her role in the 2003 American neo-noir mystery crime drama film Mystic River. Directed and scored by Clint Eastwood, she starred as James "Jimmy" Markum's (Sean Penn) 19-year-old daughter Katie Markum.
Katie is secretly dating Brendan Harris (Tom Guiry), a boy from a family Jimmy despises. After going out for the night with her girlfriends, she ends up being murdered.
Emmy Rossum's character Katie Markum ends up dead in Mystic River
Nominated for numerous awards and a box office success, the film was released on October 15, 2003, just one month after Emmy Rossum turned 17. Born on September 12, 1986, in Sunset Park, New York, she celebrated her 17th birthday on September 12, 2003.
"It was thrilling," Rossum told PopEntertainment in an interview in 2007.
"I auditioned for that. I sent Clint Eastwood a tape of me reading the character's part on a little video camera. I got cast off that. I didn't meet anybody until I walked on the set the first day. It was very surprising and exciting. The same day I got that call that I got Mystic River, I got the part in The Day After Tomorrow as well. I was flying back and forth between the two projects and everything had just taken off," she added.

"It was very exciting being a part of a small film like Mystic River, which I really felt was such an important cast and such an important learning experience for me. Also to be part of something like Day After Tomorrow, which was, I felt, so ecologically important… I always have tried to really take the jobs that I really believed in and never tried to do something I didn't really want to do."
Principal photography took place on location in Boston when Emmy Rossum was 16.

Honoring the best in prime time TV programming, the awards show was presented — for the first time — alongside the movie awards.

The then 38-year-old writer, director, and producer won three of four nominations, including Best Drama Series for "Mr. Robot."
The series' stars Rami Malek and Christian Slater won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, respectively.

Sam looked neat in a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie underneath, while his fiancée looked classic in a black dress.
The Phantom of the Opera actress wore a simple and classy black sleeveless dress by Dior. Her form-fitting frock featured a scooped neckline and a sparkling, sequined inset that gave it a chic twist.

The "Shameless" star added further sparkle and glamour to the look by wearing some jewelry, including a pair of diamond earrings, a bracelet, and her engagement ring. Emmy's best accessory, though, was her megawatt smile.
She wore her hair in a slicked side-parted updo and sported flawless makeup with shimmering pink lipstick.

To complete her look, Emmy carried a metallic Lee Savage clutch that matched her silver open-toe Jimmy Choo heels that you can buy at Farfetch and Mytheresa.
These mirrored ankle-strap heels added a few extra inches to the height of the 5'8" actress thanks to their about four-inch heels.

The transmission is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. If the car will not shift after engaging the clutch and trying to move the stick, take a look at the fluid to make sure that it is at the right level. Other causes include using the incorrect thickness of fluid and the clutch linkage or shift cables needing adjustment. The source of the problem could also be the vehicle's computer system.
Unusual brake noise or braking behaviors should be treated as a warning that one of the most essential systems on your car is malfunctioning. The brakes are exposed to tremendous forces and generate a lot of heat every time you stop your car. When you press on the brake, all the energy that your vehicle creates by moving down the road has to be converted to heat through friction.
The battery should be inspected visually for corrosion or any other buildup of debris regularly. The surface of the battery should be clean and free from any dirt buildup. The connection points and posts should also be free of corrosion or rust. This can decrease the power it is able to supply your vehicle. It is also recommended to have the battery professionally tested to see if it is able to hold the charge effectively.

Churched, as a word, implies that an action has taken place on the person in question. It is similar to saying a person has been "fixed" with a certain mind set according to the social institution known as the church.

Aldon Smith sentenced to probation in weapons case
By - Associated Press - Friday, July 18, 2014
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was sentenced Friday to serve three years of probation and to spend 11 days with a work crew after he pleaded no contest to drunken driving and weapons charges.
The sentence came after Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Daniel Nishigaya reduced three felony counts of possessing illegal assault rifles to misdemeanors. The judge noted that Smith has no criminal record involving violence, but warned the 24-year-old football star that if he violates any of terms of his probation, he will be sent to jail for 11 days.
Smith was also told to serve 235 hours of community service and pay nearly $4,000 in fines.
Prosecutors said Smith didn't receive special treatment in the case.
"In the end, we treated Aldon like any other person in similar circumstances," Santa Clara County District Attorney Brian Buckelew said. "We're optimistic that the punishment will be sufficient to get him on the right track."
The weapons charges stem from an out-of-control party at Smith's house in 2012, where he got stabbed and two people were shot. Investigators later found three rifles in Smith's house that were legally bought in Arizona, but are illegal in California.
The DUI charges were filed after Smith's car smashed into a tree in San Jose last Fall. Police said his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit.
The 49ers said they continue to support Smith's efforts to grow personally from his run-ins with the law.
"We are pleased that Aldon has moved past this phase of the process, and will support any action the NFL may take with respect to this matter," a team statement said.
Smith could face a suspension from the NFL for his off-field troubles, which included an arrest at the Los Angeles International Airport in April. Authorities said he became belligerent during a random security screening and threatened that he had a bomb, but prosecutors declined to charge him.
Associated Press reporters Terry Collins and Antonio Gonzalez contributed to this report from San Francisco.

Balance Beam: Beam Bandz Price: $6.95 Suede Padded Beam Mat 416110 Price: $170.00 Quantity: * Whole number only
How big is a balance beam?
Balance beam, gymnastics apparatus used in women's competition. It is a wooden beam 5 metres (16.4 feet) long, 10 cm (4 inches) wide, and raised 125 cm (4.1 feet) from the floor.
What is a beam made out of?
The beam is a small, thin beam which is typically raised from the floor on a leg or stand at both ends. The balance beam is only performed by female gymnasts. Beams are usually made of leather like material.
How high is the uneven bars in gymnastics?
Dimensions of the Uneven Bars. The bars are parallel to each other and set at different heights, with the low bar at about 5 and a half feet, and the high bar usually taller than 8 feet. This height is adjustable, and Junior Olympic gymnasts and collegiate gymnasts often use the bars at different heights.
Who came up with the balance beam?
Friedrich Ludwig Jahn
What is the definition of vault in gymnastics?
The vault is an artistic gymnastics apparatus on which gymnasts perform, as well as the skill performed using that apparatus. Vaulting is also the action of performing a vault. Both male and female gymnasts perform the vault. The English abbreviation for the event in gymnastics scoring is VT.
How do you do a vault?
Speed Vault
Approach the obstacle in a direct line, with greater velocity than the step vault.
Reach one arm forward, place your hand flat on the top of the obstacle, and shift your weight off your feet into your shoulder.
Launch your body off the ground and kick your outer leg sideways as you go over the obstacle.
What is a Yurchenko on vault?
Yurchenko is the name of both a specific vault and a vault family in artistic gymnastics. The Yurchenko was named after Soviet gymnast Natalia Yurchenko. In a Yurchenko vault, the gymnast does a round-off onto the springboard and a back handspring onto the horse or vaulting table.
What is a vault in parkour?
In various urban activities, a vault is any type of movement that involves overcoming an obstacle by jumping, leaping, climbing or diving over an obstacle while using their feet, hands or not touching it at all.
How do you do a parkour roll?
The basics of the parkour roll can be broken down in this way:
Start in a low squat on the ground.
Reach your arms diagonally, to one side of your body.
Place your hands on the ground in a diamond position, palms flat.
Drop your forward shoulder to the ground and tuck your chin to your opposite armpit.
Do a dive roll?
Execute a forward roll.
Place your hands flat on the floor, then tuck your head and lean forward the back of your head is aligned with your hands.
Push forward with your legs until you begin to roll, then tuck your body and keep your back rounded.
Complete the technique on your rear end or roll up onto your feet.
How do you jump out of a moving car?
To avoid getting run over by the car you're jumping from, jump at an angle in the opposite direction the car is moving. Try to land in a soft area. If possible, try to jump towards a soft place on the side of the road like grass and dirt. Anything is better than pavement.
How do you do a swan dive?
Distance yourself.
Check the depth of the pool.
Put your strongest leg forward.
Spread your arms to your side.
Push off from the side of the pool.
Force your arms forward so your body is in a pencil-like shape.
Angle your body at a 45+ degree angle to the water.
What is the floor exercise in gymnastics?
In gymnastics, the floor refers to a specially prepared exercise surface, which is considered an apparatus. It is used by both male and female gymnasts. The event in gymnastics performed on floor is called floor exercise.
When did they change the vault in gymnastics?
For the women, the only apparatuses to have major changes are vault and floor exercise. In 2001, the vaulting horse was replaced by the vaulting table. Not only is the table safer than the horse, but it allows for gymnasts to perform incredibly difficult vaults.
What are bars in gymnastics?
The uneven bars or asymmetric bars is an artistic gymnastics apparatus, used only by female gymnasts. It is made of a steel frame. The bars are made of fiberglass with wood coating, or less commonly wood.
What is the horse called in gymnastics?
The pommel horse (also side horse) is an artistic gymnastics apparatus. Traditionally, it is used by only male gymnasts. Originally made of a metal frame with a wooden body and a leather cover, modern pommel horses have a metal body covered with foam rubber and leather, with plastic handles (or pommels).

How does a credit unions build enough NII to guarantee that the river of net income doesn't run dry?
The goal of this brief is to balance two important credit union imperatives: the need for NII that supports the operating costs of the credit union, and the imperative that credit union leaders feel to charge fees that are fair and that support services that add value to members. The tension is real. Too many or ill-advised fees and credit unions run the risk of alienating members and losing their cooperative difference. Not enough NII and needed profitability will dissipate.
Our targeted qualitative approach starts with regulatory data. We limited the size of the field to credit unions with assets between $50 million (M) and $2.5 billion (B). From that group we narrowed the list to those that finished in the top third in NII in the four years between 2008 and 2011. To be further considered, they had to have more than 25 basis points of return on assets (ROA) in three of those four years and net capital higher than 7% in all the years. This group is stable and depends on NII. Their insights are valuable.
We asked them to share where they had focused their NII efforts in the previous years, along with specific questions about fees that they avoided or discontinued. Worth noting also is that we intentionally asked respondents to leave interchange and overdraft income out of their responses. We wanted to get below those two elephants to uncover emerging or creative NII sources.
Four short case studies from markedly different credit unions in Texas, Idaho, and North Carolina discuss and prove that there are as many viable approaches to NII as there are credit unions. But the common denominator is the ongoing need for enough water to keep the river flowing.

Artist Access: We Are Leo – 61/23
Pulse artist We Are Leo recently sat down with New Release Today for an awesome behind the song story to their latest, "61/23," playing daily on 101.7! Check it out below:
"The songwriting story is that I have no memory of writing this song. A lot of times when I get an idea for a song and I'm sitting at my piano in my living room, which is where I am now, I will start playing and singing and record a voice memo on my iPhone. We were getting ready for this album, and I was sitting in a coffeehouse reviewing all of the songs for this album. I wanted something cool and definitely Christian with a message that would encourage people. For me, if I try to write a song based on Scripture and I try to force it instead of letting it flow out of my relationship with Christ, it sounds forced instead of heartfelt.
I had songs started, and some of those didn't feel right as I had recorded 273 voice memos over the past 3 years. It was overwhelming as I listened back through all of them. All of a sudden, I had this song. One day I sat down and changed the pre-chorus and some of the lyrics, then I recorded a demo and took it to our producer, and the song was done. It was crazy and as though this song was meant to be. I brought it to the record label, and they picked it as the lead single.
I've never had a song like this before. It really felt like a God-moment where He gave the song to me. The song is based on what I've drawn out of Psalm 23 and the journey of what it means to me that the Lord is my Shepherd and He makes me lie down in green pastures. For so much of my life, I've tried to be cool and make things work. I grew up with a perfectionist attitude and looked for affirmation for my accomplishments and getting praises from people. I see that in my life. As an adult and in my walk with God, in the midst of that, God's been doing a work in me and teaching me about rest. It's been so healing for me, and I don't feel like I'm trying so hard anymore. I'm trusting God."

I have an M.Sc. in Zoology and a Ph.D. in Zoology and Tropical Ecology from James Cook University. Before coming to UNE, I did a 3 year Postdoctoral Fellowship as the McCain Postdoctoral Fellow in the Biology Department at Mount Allison University, New Brunswick, Canada where I researched the ecology of flying squirrels, taught courses in Mammalogy and Conservation Biology, and supervised undergraduate research students. After a short lecturing stint at James Cook University (Cairns), I joined the Discipline of Ecosystem Management at UNE in 2003.
My research aims to provide a greater understanding of mammal ecology than can assist in better conservation and management outcomes for mammal species and communities. In addition to work in Australia and New Guinea where I have primarily focused on kangaroos and other marsupials, my research interests have led me to Canada – where I worked on mycophagous (fungus-eating) squirrels, Bhutan – where I currently work on protecting biological corridors for iconic cats including tiger and leopard, and Mexico – where I have an on-going project on use of cenotes by mammals including jaguar and puma.

Zachary Meisel Wins $2.1 Million PCORI Funding Award
By Hoag Levins
36-Month Study to Focus on Opioid Risk Communications in Clinical Settings
University of Pennsylvania Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine and LDI Senior Fellow Zachary Meisel, MD, has received a $2.1 million funding award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
The award will fund a 36-month comparative effectiveness study of enhanced opioid risk communication strategies for pain management following acute care. Meisel's research team includes LDI Senior Fellows Carolyn Cannuscio, ScD, ScM; Marilyn Schapira, MD, MPH; Jeanmarie Perrone, MD; and Karin V. Rhodes, MD.
National epidemic
Prescription opioid addiction is now widely recognized as a national epidemic. The latest NIH National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates are that more than 2 million people are addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers and that the number of unintentional overdose deaths from these drugs has quadrupled since 1999.
The new study comes as federal and state health officials seek more effective ways to address the 19,000 prescription opioid deaths currently occurring across the U.S. each year.
The Department of Health and Human Services has emphasized the need to "stem the over prescribing of opioids by providing prescribers with access to the tools and education they need to make informed decisions."
Physician-patient communication
A Meisel study goal is to develop and compare the effectiveness of communication tools that enable physicians and patients to more effectively score and understand the potential risk involved in the prescription of opioids for acute conditions like kidney stones and back pain.
"What we hear over and over again from physicians is that 'it's just easier' to write the opioid prescription than spend half an hour explaining to the patient why we're not giving them opioids," said Meisel.
The tool would employ interactive questions, video narratives and a system that scores on a scale of 29 values enabling the patient to calculate their own level of opioid risk.
"We don't think it will replace a conversation between the patient and provider," Meisel explained. "But we think it can prime the pump and provide information that facilitates more effective communications between patient and provider with the patient starting with a better understanding of their own risk."
Meisel noted the tool is likely to be educational for physicians as well. "The variability on [opioid prescribing] is all over the map," he said. "For conditions like kidney stone and back pain, some doctors always prescribe opioids and some never prescribe them; some prescribe a short course, others a longer one. We think this kind of tool will help educate physicians about best practices — for instance, there's good evidence that both opioids and non-opioids are equivalent in efficacy for kidney stone and back pain. And because non-opioids are safer, it's probably a better choice."
Unsettled question
"This project is also about testing the role of narrative vignettes in assisting the communication between patients and providers, which remains an unsettled question. It really hasn't been explored as a way to do shared decision making or communication between patient and providers," Meisel said.
"We are the first major grant I know of that is looking at the role of storytelling as a potential way to enhance risk communications with patients around the tricky issue of pain management. If we can show that it makes a difference, then you could apply it to many other different conditions and diseases."
An emergency physician at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Meisel is also Co-Director of the Penn Medicine Center for Emergency Care Policy Research. His health services research projects have focused on the emerging field of narrative medicine as well as emergency care access and utilization, patient safety, emergency medical services, and communication and dissemination.
Meisel is also the primary investigator and Director of the Policy and Dissemination Core of the Center for Health Economics Treatment Interventions for Substance Use Disorder (CHERISH), a new NIH-funded national research center launched in 2015.

On the client side I have error 408 Registring (Request timeout)
There is no port blocking on the client side.
ON the server side when running
asterisk -vvvvvr , using set sip debug on
there is no message that the server is having a request from a client.
What to do? Need some help. Thank you!
In case you ask:
In sip.conf I did specify:
bindport=5060
bindaddr=0.0.0.0

netstat -plunt
:
...
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4520            0.0.0.0:*                           1002/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5060            0.0.0.0:*                           1002/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4569            0.0.0.0:*                           1002/asterisk

UPDATE:
When checking with   nmap -v -sU IP -p 5060 and I get:
Host is up (0.060s latency).
PORT     STATE         SERVICE
5060/udp open|filtered sip

Ouput rules are:
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    lo      anywhere             anywhere
 3074  938K ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED

THE SOLUTION FOR SIP IS THIS:

A: You should add some port:
Port 5060 TCP and UDP
Port 5004 UDP
Port 10000 UDP (sipgate Stun service - usually 3478/9)
Ports 16348-32768 UDP (RTP, RTCP multimedia streaming)

Your asterisk configuration wrong, refer here for more details.
