What is sin? "James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." So, it looks like that everybody will commit sin. There are two masters. One is the Lord Jesus Christ, and the other is "Sin". If we obey Jesus Christ, it is righteousness to us and if we do not obey it is Sin. Sin leads us to death and our obedience leads us to eternal life. But, our own preachers whom we love dearly. preach to us that God will take us to heaven as we are committing sin. We all like it and we all are pleased to hear it. So, if it is a lie, we will all burn in the lake fire all together. At least we will all be together in this. However, let me give a few scriptures on this link about a few sins that will prevent us from entering the kingdom of God. Link is: "God's Kingdom". I will just give a few names of sins below, just to alert us that one of these sins from this list, which is more familiar to us, may keep us from inheriting the eternal kingdom of God.
The names of sins from the Bible (New Testament) are: All ungodliness, adultery, anger, wrath, backbiting, backsliding (dogs), blasphemy, changing the truth of God, concupiscence, covetousness, debates, variance, strife, deceit, disobedience to parents, obey not the gospel, drunkenness, excess of wine, envying, evil, evil eye, false witness, filthiness, uncleanness, foolishness, foolish talking, fornication, hatred, malignity, evil boasting, despiteful, heresies, Wrest (twisting of truth), homosexuality (Romans 1:26-28), idolatry, lasciviousness, inordinate affection, lying, lusts (even in heart), maliciousness, murder, without natural affection, perverse, pride, sedition, jesting, rioting, tumults, emulations, serve the creature rather than the Creator, sorcery, thefts, favor a sinner, turning the grace into lasciviousness, unmerciful, unrepentant, unrighteousness, implacable, whoremongers, wickedness, witchcraft, without understanding, etc. Thank you.

Lying through his teeth (Part One)
The longer P/Major Rodney Raymund Baloyo IV told and retold his version of what happened on November 29, 2013 inside a plush subdivision in Mexico, Pampanga, the more his credibility sank into a morass of dishonesty. He lied blatantly, and when pressed, made changes to his story, perhaps thinking he could fool the Senate committee on justice and human rights, and the entire nation. Never before have I seen such a liar.
Baloyo had nothing to back his story except his word. On the other hand, a mountain of evidence told an entirely different story. This individual doesn't deserve to wear that uniform and badge of an officer of the Philippine National Police a minute longer. An orange uniform of a Bilibid prisoner is what suits him.
BALOYO'S VERSION:
At around 2 p.m. on November 29, 2013, a confidential informant walks into the intelligence branch of the Pampanga provincial police office. This "asset" — slang for informants — narrates to Baloyo that there is a big-time drug pusher operating in the Woodbridge Subdivision, Lake Shore View in Mexico, Pampanga. The debriefing took one hour, and Baloyo takes the asset's story as truthful. Immediately, he organizes a team of 13 including himself and proceeds to the target. He had sent ahead two policemen to conduct surveillance and rendezvouzed with them at a gasoline station at around 4 p.m.
Baloyo was able to raise P100,000 to be used as "marked buy-bust money" in a test-buy before making an arrest. He said it was a certain policeman named Santos who gave him the money. The money consisted of 100 P1,000 bills, with each paper note signed "by the operatives" as the marking.
At around 4:30 p.m., Baloyo carried out the buy-bust and arrested a Chinese national, Ding Wen Kun. They recovered 36 kilos of shabu and P300,000 in cash. The situation became tense when two security guards arrived and challenged the police officers, who were in civilian clothing. "They were armed with shotguns which were aimed at us," Baloyo said.
To secure his men from this threat, Baloyo said he and his men boarded their vehicles, taking with them an estimated 200 kilos of shabu and a vault believed to have contained P55 million, and drove off toward the Pampanga provincial police office.
His immediate superior, then P/Senior Superintendent Oscar Albayalde, said there was a press conference at around 5:30 p.m. in which the seized shabu and cash were laid out on a table for presentation to the public. This last detail was confirmed by retired Police General Manuel Gaerlan, who was then deputy regional director for PRO 3.
This is the core of Baloyo's story.
THE TRUE VERSION:
There was no buy-bust. It was an unauthorized raid on the residence of Chinese national Johnson Lee. Apparently, Baloyo had been monitoring the activities of Lee in the distribution of shabu from that house. His superior, Albayalde, knew about it. (After all, the first rule is that the commander must know everything that is happening.) Baloyo was looking for an opening to pounce on Lee. The opportunity came in the morning of Nov. 29. Baloyo learned there was a large shipment of shabu. He had to move fast.
But instead of applying for a search warrant, Baloyo and his men barged into the house of Lee. The Chinese national was able to jump over the fence and ran away to ask for help. He didn't know that the intruders to his house were policemen. Lee went to the barangay hall to report the forced entry into his house.
The barangay officials telephoned the Mexico, Pampanga PNP station to report the alleged home invasion by the armed men and the presence of Lee in their custody. Three uniformed policemen were dispatched to investigate. Lee was taken aboard the patrol car back to his residence. There, he came face to face with Baloyo and his men, now ready to haul their loot.
This gave Baloyo a bonus. Instead of just the shabu, he had the suspect in custody. But then it wasn't a legitimate drug buy-bust that he had planned. It was a money-making enterprise. Baloyo had removed a steel safe containing P55 million from the house. He struck a deal with Lee: open the safe and he will set the Chinese national free. Lee was only too glad to comply.
Two blue guards from the private security company assigned to Woodridge Subdivision arrived at the scene to investigate. Baloyo identified himself as the intelligence officer of Pampanga provincial police office. The security guards could not do anything. Baloyo and his group left, bringing with them their stash of shabu and cash. The three policemen, thinking everything was in order, also left and headed back to the municipal police station.
It was just before noon of November 29, 2019. (To be continued)

Title IX Film Series
In 1972, legislation was passed that would forever shape the landscape of educational institutions. Title IX is a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.
In honor of the historic legislation, the William Smith Athletic department is sponsoring a "Pioneers and Progress Film Series," highlighting and remembering the impact of Title IX and its specific influence on women in sport.
The series will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 12, with the showing of "Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority." The documentary follows the remarkable journey of Mink, an Asian-American woman who, while battling racism and sexism, redefined American politics. Mink became the first Asian-American woman and the first woman of color to be elected to U.S Congress. She also played a pivotal role in the transformation of America's schools as the co-author of Title IX legislation.
The second screening will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 17, featuring a documentary titled "Kick Like a Girl." This film follows an all-girls' third-grade soccer team as they compete in a boys' division. The film recalls the lessons that are learned in competitive athletics and how sports have been effective instruments of social change.
"A Hero for Daisy," the final showing of the three-part series, will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The documentary tells the story of Title IX pioneer and two-time Olympian Chris Ernst, who galvanized her rowing team to storm the Yale athletic director's office in 1976, protesting the lack of athletic facilities for women.
All of the films will be shown at 8 p.m. in the Geneva Room of the Warren Hunting Smith Library.

45 years ago today - May 22, 1974-Wednesday
[Leonard Arrington]
I recognize also that there is not full agreement among Latter-day Saint leaders as to items that ought to be included in our books. Not long ago I was in a study group, made up of important Church leaders (but no General Authorities were present) in which there was a dispute over the wisdom of telling seminary students that Brigham Young once chewed tobacco. One person contended that the story of his victory over the habit was faith promoting, and besides the fact of his use of tobacco is so well known that the student will find it out sooner or later and he will have more confidence in the material presented if this is told to him in advance. Another person disagreed completely and said that students will use this knowledge as an excuse for their own sins. There are arguments on both sides of this and other questions. Whatever we do will not be accepted completely by everybody but we do seek for credibility and for general confidence.
To say this another way, I recognize that some of our history cannot and should not be told. Judgment and discretion should be exercised. I recognize also that our history needs to be told honestly so that our people will have confidence in reading it-we must allow for the human equation. I regret the widespread tendency of our fine members and their youth to read books like No Man Knows My History, Nightfall at Nauvoo, and 26th Wife under the assumption that they are getting the real lowdown on our history and that our own works do not carry conviction as being the real story.

I've developed an analytical framework in which politicians and bureaucrats mainly respond to demands from economic interest groups in deciding trade policy. Institutions and culture do matter, but only idiosyncratically. Ultimately, it is economic self-interest that plays out in the political arena.
The book traces the pattern of the negotiation of several trade agreements. The substantive chapters devote much space to the political struggles that ultimately define the design of an agreement. Trade policy seems like a dry subject, but for the people involved, livelihoods are at stake, giving the process a surprisingly colorful and emotional character. Political action ranges from sit-ins in front of Japanese Ministries to attempted self-immolation by Korean farmers to the heartwarming invitation offered to trade bureaucrats to visit a pig farm to see the plight of farmers with their own eyes.
The Japanese cases are particularly interesting. Their first trade agreement was signed with Singapore, who conveniently had almost no trade barriers. And yet, even here, agricultural protectionism almost led to a failure of the negotiations, because Singapore exports aquarium goldfish. Although the negotiations with Singapore were just supposed to be a gentle trial run, they already foreshadowed the intense resistance that an FTA with Mexico would run into. The sensitive issue is almost always agriculture. But given the asymmetries between the partners—Mexico still needed Japanese investment more than Japan needed Mexico as a production site—the most competitive exports from the developing country are often excluded from the deal.
Clearly, preferential trade agreements are often brought about at the behest of a very narrow range of actors. The EU-Mexico agreement was first and foremost a deal to protect the interests of one multinational firm—Volkswagen—and its chain of suppliers. Volkswagen is not only an industrial giant in Europe, but also one of the biggest employers in Mexico. Although present in Mexico since the 1960s, the company found itself at a severe disadvantage once NAFTA had come into force. Mexico had previously offered a variety of tariff benefits to foreign manufacturers, but in the NAFTA negotiations, US trade officials had managed to have all of these banned and new barriers erected. The primary targets were Japanese and European manufacturers. Volkswagen supported an FTA to counter these measures, and largely succeeded. But neither European nor Mexican exporters gained much additional access to the other's market.
The characters that emerge as heroes in these cases are often the developing countries' negotiators. Chilean and Mexican trade officials can hold their own against any highly-paid Washington lawyer or école nationale—trained European Commission official. Nonetheless, what they can achieve is severely limited by their country's relative position in the global economy.

Serotonin was first identified as a neurotransmitter in clams, and then mammalian brain. The history of its evolution as an intercellular messenger and CNS neurotransmitter is only recently begun to be appreciated through comparative studies of vertebrates and invertebrates. Lophotrochozoans (snails and leeches), insects and decapod crustaceans have been intensively studied for the past five decades as accessible model systems for studying neural bases of behavior. A natural fallout has been the accumulation of a broad base of knowledge of the chemistry and functions of serotonin in neural networks. Parallels and contrasts can be drawn for the anatomy and neuropharmacology of serotonin in the protostome invertebrates and mammals that suggest considerable serotonergic function has been conserved, despite marked divergence in anatomy and behavior. Integrative, comparative studies of the neurotransmitter can yield insight for how its contemporary roles in behavior and development arose.


College student health insurance is required at the University of Maryland for incoming freshman and transfer students for the fall 2009 semester.
The university says that sometimes when college students are faced with medical bills, they often quit school to work full time to pay off the debt.
The university has offered optional insurance for years–taken advantage of by athletes–even though they point out that 30 percent of U.S. colleges required it for the 2007 to 2008 school years, according to a federal study.
The University of Maryland will offer college student health insurance via United HealthCare. Those students who do not show proof of insurance will be automatically enrolled in the school's program for $1,168. This fee will be covered by financial aid for those who qualify. Upperclassman can also take advantage of this insurance.
The university has perfect timing with President Obama's health care proposal to congress, even though only 5.5 percent of college students were uninsured last year, compared to 16 percent of the general population.
Some colleges and universities offer college students health insurance via the on-campus, health facilities and the price is included in student activity fees.

Large variation in the importance of different ungulate species in the spread of infection
SLU news
Ticks thrive on fallow deer, which is part of the transmission chain of bacteria that can cause tick fever in humans and livestock. Photo: Jörgen Wiklund, SLU
There is a great variation among different ungulate species in their importance in the spread of the tick-borne diseases Lyme disease (borreliosis) and tick fever. Fallow deer, moose and red deer are of great importance for the spread of a type of tick fever which can be dangerous for both humans and livestock. Wild boar, on the other hand, spreads hardly tick fever or Lyme diseases. This is shown in a new thesis from SLU.
Ungulates are often seen as important hosts for ticks, and are thus considered to play a large role in the spread of tick-borne diseases. But there are big differences among the ungulate species, both in their morphology and behaviour. For example, a moose is much larger than a roe deer, and while fallow deer live in large herds, moose live mostly alone. These, and other, differences may affect the number of ticks these animals have, and what role they play in the spread of tick-borne diseases.
Five ungulate species were studied
In a new thesis from the Swedish University of Agricultural sciences, five ungulate species have been studied for their role in the spread of Lyme disease and tick fever. The number of ticks has been counted on 131 fallow deer, 30 roe deer, 61 red deer, 15 moose and 87 wild boar, during hunts in Södermanlands, Stockholms and Östergötlands county. Subsequently, both ungulates and ticks were tested for two different bacteria: Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which causes tick fever in livestock and humans.
The results show a big difference in how many ticks the different ungulate species have. Fallow deer had the most ticks, while wild boar had hardly any ticks.
– The differences in the number of ticks influences how important the different ungulates species are in the spread of infection. Since wild boar had hardly any ticks, they are not as important for the spread of tick-borne diseases in general, says Nannet Fabri, doctoral student at SLU.

Different ungulate species – different roles in the spread of infection
It matters what disease we are talking about. The bacteria that causes Lyme disease was not found in any of the ungulates, which was expected. The bacteria that causes tick fever was found in all species except wild boar.
– There are different types of the bacterium that causes tick fever, one type causes tick fever in humans and livestock was found in fallow deer, moose and red deer, while another type that does not cause tick fever in humans and livestock was found in roe deer, says Nannet Fabri
When it comes to Lyme disease, the infection itself is not spread via ungulates. Deer species contribute to the survival and distribution of ticks through their role as host animals for adult ticks.
– My research shows that importance of not considering all ungulates as one homogeneous group, but to study the species individually in research on ticks and tick-borne diseases, says Nannet Fabri
Nannet Fabri defends her thesis "Ticking of the ungulte box – the role of different ungulate species in the transmission of tick-borne pathogens" on Friday the 1st of April at 09.00 at SLU in Umeå.
Feel free to follow the defense online. Contact nannet.fabri@slu.se to get a link.
Link to the thesis: https://pub.epsilon.slu.se/27291/
The sheep tick Ixode ricinus has three active life stages: larva, nymph and adult. To reach the next development stage a blood meal is required, where the tick sucks blood from a host animal. Different animals are important for the different stages. Small mammals are important as hosts for the larvae, while medium-sized animals, such as foxes and hares, and birds are more important for the nymphs. Since the tick transmits diseases while sucking blood, it can transmit diseases to different host animals.
The main host animals for the bacteria that cause Lyme disease are rodents.
Tick fever is also called anaplasmosis.

Clinton Told Better Place CEO: "Electric Cars Should Be Free"
Antony Ingram March 1, 2013 Comment Now!
As any entrepreneur will tell you, starting a business isn't easy.
Few know this more than Shai Agassi, founder of battery-swapping outfit Better Place. The company is making huge losses, has closed operations in some countries and even booted out Agassi himself as CEO.
Still, Agassi is one of few who can claim a former President of the United States helped him bring his dream to life--or at least, offered him some advice.
In a post on business networking service LinkedIn, Agassi details how the best advice he ever received was from President Bill Clinton at a conference in 2006.
Agassi hadn't yet started Better Place back then, and was instead thinking of selling electric cars and their batteries for around $32,000.
Speaking to Clinton, Agassi said he reckoned drivers would pay up the initial outlay for the savings they'd see over 8-12 years.
He recounts how Clinton absorbed his idea, before saying, "By the time you will convince the rich folks in Israel to try it, then get the average folks in Israel to try it, then bring it to the US for our rich folks... the world will run out of time."
It didn't stop there, either.
"You need to price your car so that an average Joe would prefer it over the kind of cars they buy today--an 8-year-old used gasoline car, selling for less than $3,000. As a matter of fact, if you can give away your car for free, that's a sure way to succeed." added Clinton.
A free electric car? That'd certainly get people interested, but the business case is harder to justify. Agassi said as much--"How do you give away a car for free and still make money?" he asked.
"I don't know... you're the smart man around here" replied Clinton. Agassi notes how it's funnier now than it was at the time, but it did lead him on to a different way of thinking. If not free, he'd reduce the price of the cars, and make people pay a monthly fee for the battery--bringing down the initial cost.
Better Place works on this basis using Renault's battery rental process. It also offers swaps to full, charged packs at dedicated stations around Israel and Denmark, the company's two main markets.
Slow sales and high losses are demonstrating just how hard it is to get people on board, but Agassi remains positive.
He cites how cell phone and satellite TV operators have enough of a margin from their service they can subsidize the products themselves--on the right cell phone contract, you can get a hundreds-of-dollars iPhone for very little, or even free.
Range limitations are the main stumbling block, suggests Agassi, but as battery tech improves he sees the Better Place business model becoming increasingly attractive.
The market will decide that, we guess--but if it works, Agassi has a former U.S. President to thank for the idea.

A Wigan man who threatened paramedics after they arrived to help a sick man has been put behind bars for two years.
A court heard that Keith Rendell, described by the judge as "a career criminal", was in breach of a 20 -month suspended sentence for burglary at the time of the latest offence.
Kevin Slack, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that just before midnight on September 4 last year paramedics were called to Rendell's home in Ambleside, Ince, following reports of a man suffering fits.
The patient did not appear to have suffered a fit though had been sick and Rendell shone a pen torch from an upstairs window and then came running out of the house in an aggressive manner.
He shouted at the ambulance to move and swore, said Mr Slack.
The two paramedics took the sick man to the ambulance and locked him inside and Rendell went back inside his house but then came back out armed with a screw driver.
The patient, whose identity is unknown, left the vehicle and before he fled into a neighbour's house Rendell threatened him with a screwdriver and punched him.
The police were called and Rendell, who had gone back into his house, came out wearing the same distinctive tee-shirt he had been seen wearing earlier and a screwdriver was found on the kitchen table.
When interviewed he denied the allegations and claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. The court heard that one of the paramedics has since died.
Rendell denied affray but pleaded guilty to a lesser offence of threatening behaviour.
The court heard that he has previous convictions including possessing drugs, public order offences and had been given a suspended sentence for burglary just two months before the incident.
Judge Everett told Rendell that unless he controls his drinking he will keep returning to court. He said that he was prepared to say things to avoid going to jail.
He sentenced him to four months for threatening behaviour and activated the 20 month suspended sentence.
Martyn Walsh, defending, said that Rendell has various medical problems, some apparently arising after he was sexually assaulted while in prison.


Are you having a hard time getting grass to grow in your organic backyard? Will it just refuse to develop in the yard? Strive on the lookout for an acceptable floor cowl to use on the exposed earth. Then you possibly can simply fill in the issue spaces and create fascinating mattress shapes. Consider using your backyard to develop some kitchen herbs. Herbs such as basil, mint, parsley, coriander, rosemary and dill, are essential to many dishes, but they can be very expensive to buy within the shops. These culinary herbs, however, are very low cost and easy to develop in your own garden.
Start with a small manageable backyard in case you are new to gardening. If you're inexperienced, gardening might be traumatic and frustrating. By starting with a smaller measurement, you retain your experiences optimistic and your vegetation under management. Gardens do require work and upkeep regularly so hold that in thoughts. Think about asking mates or household for cuttings from their current crops. Many plants will grow from cuttings so that you simply do not have to purchase a complete plant your self. It takes only minutes to learn online which part of the plant you need to minimize off to replant, and using cuttings can save you a whole lot of dollars in landscaping and gardening costs.
Get rid of Japanese beetles. As soon as fairly rare, and solely discovered within the japanese United States, these pesky beetles are actually transferring west. They attack many several types of herbs and greens and are tough to eradicate once established. Handpick them in the early morning by shaking tree limbs and branches. Bait them by mixing collectively water, sugar and mashed fruit. Place this concoction in a sunny spot a minimum of 1 inch off the bottom. Strain out the beetles every morning. Plant 'entice' crops between vegetables and flowers: Japanese beetles favor marigold, borage and evening primrose. In the event you plant these throughout your backyard, they'll naturally navigate toward these particular crops.
Area your roses far sufficient aside to make sure air circulation and deter mildew.
To your flower beds, natural materials must be used as mulch. Two or three inches must be enough. Mulch discourages weeds and helps retain moisture whereas adding vitamins to your flower mattress. Additionally, the flower beds will look superbly maintained always. You'll be able to achieve time by renewing your beds with this methodology: slice beneath the turf and switch it over. Cover it with wooden chips and wait just a few weeks. You can then use this mattress to plant your perennial vegetation. The bottom you will have turned over ought to be made richer by the turf that's beneath it.
Location is very important to natural gardening. Your backyard needs to be in an area that may get a minimum of ten hours of sunlight through the summer. Prior to starting your garden, ensure that your location does not have any large obstructions that will cast shadows and block the solar. Plants want an satisfactory amount of daylight to live. On this article, you have just realized a couple of great ways in which you can flip your backyard into a flourishing bed of contemporary and delicious fruits and vegetables. Keep in mind, you will have to use the following pointers and always focus on the quality of your garden to make sure its optimum health and development.
Choose perennials to cut back the amount of care your garden requires. Plants that return 12 months after yr usually require only a modicum of weeding and pruning. Edible perennials, equivalent to asparagus, rhubarb, and sorrel, can present an excellent salad addition for your household without inflicting an excessive amount of be just right for you. When it's autumn, it's time to begin planting all of your fall edibles. A pumpkin can be used as a planting container as a substitute of clay pots. Merely minimize the pumpkin open on the prime, so you can remove the seeds and insides. After that, spray Wilt-Pruf alongside the sides and on the inside of the pumpkin, so it does not rot. Now you can use it to plant in, as you'd a pot.
Calculate how much water your plants truly want. Thinner plants typically need extra water; they include bigger surface space with much less capability to retailer water.


Last year's selection of soulful holiday albums was highlighted by Fantasia's Christmas after Midnight, a heartful collection of jazzy and R&B-laden interpretations of yuletide favorites delivered with authentic rhythm-section arrangements and indelibly stylish vocal performances. It's likely that John Legend's first full-length Christmas CD, A Legendary Christmas, will go down in history as the champion set of 2018. Seamlessly blending the singer-songwriter's unaffected, soul-warming vocals with the full-bodied production and arranging prowess of Raphael Saadiq, the 14-track album puts forth a lovingly balanced stream of traditional tunes and new works.
On A Legendary Christmas, Saadiq partners frequently with trumpeter Jamelle Adisa for the arrangement of tracks ranging in timbre from a symphonically charged, '70s-soul-driven rendition of "Silver Bells" (with added lyrics by Legend and Saadiq) to a fittingly bluesy update of Charles Brown's 1960 gem "Please Come Home for Christmas" and the atmospheric, slowly funky "Wrap Me up in Your Love," a Legend/Saadiq/Wayne Hector original. Adisa takes the helm himself on a dreamy reworking of "Purple Snowflakes," a sweet and serene tune recorded in the early '60s by Marvin Gaye, but not released until decades later. On this number, Legend truly shows the depth of his vocal flexibility, beginning the first verse in a regal and quietly rich falsetto that is all his own. Adisa's trumpet flourishes, Iajhi Hampton's sleek drum groove, and percussionist Roland Gajate Garcia's and flutist/piccoloist Scott Mayo's bossa nova accents each permeate the mood gracefully.
On the jazzier side, Legend delivers one of the more distinctive renditions in recent memory of "Christmas Time Is Here." Transforming Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi's contemplative ballad into a triple-feel, swingin' romp punctuated by alto, tenor, and baritone saxes, trumpets, and trombones, Adisa provides an earthy, feel-good backdrop for Legend's expertly nuanced dynamics. At once controlled and amiable, his relatable take on the classic is etched with vibrato like finely aged wine and a cool, confident flow that evokes hours of coziness.
Several more originals penned by Legend and friends are present—the poetically longing, melodically poignant "Waiting for Christmas" being a standout: "I could sing along, but I can't find the meaning/The melody feels wrong, I'm waiting for Christmas with you." "By Christmas Eve," a forgiveness-seeking letter to an old flame, also is impactful in its heartfelt prose and melancholy melody. Additionally, a special edition of the physical CD sold exclusively through Target stores includes two bonus tracks, the highlight being an acoustic demo version of "No Place Like Home," which pares the components down to Legend's rich, passion-laden voice and beautiful piano prowess. Highly Recommended.

With Brexit producing a year of twists and turns in 2018, the only certainty about 2019 is that the outlook for businesses across Scotland remains uncertain, according to chiefs at Scottish accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael.
The firm's chief executive Sandy Manson says the size of the impact on the economy and investment confidence from the UK leaving the EU is "the big imponderable".
He added: "Whatever the outcome, there will be opportunities too, and businesses are remarkably agile and resilient in the face of such uncertainty and change.
"In particular I would expect VAT and Customs Duty advice to be in increasingly high demand as the Brexit outcome becomes clearer.
Shaun Millican, head of technology and life sciences, said: "With growing competition both from within the UK and globally, talent acquisition will become increasingly challenging and Scottish tech businesses will need to start thinking creatively about how to resolve this.
"Greater engagement with academic institutions and creating workplace cultures that actively encourage personal development could be among the solutions."
Adam Hardie, head of food and drink, said: "Premium food and drink remains the most attractive place to go for Scottish producers as provenance and craftsmanship continue to be key factors in consumer purchasing.
Graham Alexander, head of oil and gas and corporate finance, said: "Oil prices continue to be volatile, but they are now at a level where investment decisions can be made.
Alistair Black, head of engineering and manufacturing, said: "Companies in the sector, irrespective of size, need to improve productivity to remain competitive and the adoption of technology will be key to achieving this.
"This will incorporate everything from investment in robotics to connecting the equipment and systems already in use via the industrial internet of things (IIoT) to create a more integrated and efficient value stream.
Louise Peters, head of medical, said: "We are likely to see some more practices merging or handing back their contract to the NHS due to the pressure to get partners/GPs.
Roddy Anderson, head of dental, said: "The dental profession has greatly relied on the EU to fill vacancies in recent years.
"Government is stressing the need to 'control immigration', but at the same time recognises that the NHS and other sectors of the economy will need to continue to recruit from overseas while there are shortages of home grown applicants.
Craig Hendry, managing director of Johnston Carmichael Wealth, said: "April 2019 will see the final increase for employer contributions to Auto Enrolment pensions.
"The increased cost to a business is significant and merits time being spent with employees to understand what this means to them.
Donald McNaught, head of restructuring, said: "Consumer debt continues to rise to levels not seen since 2008 and with house price inflation continuing to outstrip average earnings, increasing numbers of individuals are expected to face financial difficulty.
Alex Martin, head of fishing, said: "2019 will be a significant year for the fishing sector as we await the outcome of Brexit.
"Across the sector, fishermen would like to see a fairer share and ultimately that means full control over waters so that the UK becomes an independent coastal state. The industry is incredibly important to our economy and Scottish fisherman are very innovative and resilient - they've done incredibly well over the years in adapting and creating a sustainable stock.
Robin Dandie, head of agriculture, said: "Farm businesses are still unclear on what future government support schemes will look like following Brexit and what access British farmers will have to overseas markets, particularly the EU.
Mark Stewart, head of infrastructure and renewable energy, said: "The transformation from a fossil fuel to a bio fuel-based society across infrastructure, transport and commodities is critical if we are to meet global carbon reduction targets.
"Onshore wind still represents the most economic form of green energy generation operating at a levelised cost with fossil fuels. The latest round of CfD (Contract for Differences) includes onshore wind on the Scottish islands which is a welcome boost to the market.
"However, the removal of Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) from March 2019 which has just been announced by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), is a retrograde step for the sector.
Alistair Black added: "Businesses – manufacturing in particular – are being encouraged to design out waste from their products, ensuring they are built to last and with a focus on reuse, remanufacture or repurpose, rather than end-of-life disposal.


In organic chemistry, an alkene, olefin, or olefine is an unsaturated chemical compound containing at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond. The simplest acyclic alkenes, with only one double bond and no other functional groups, form an homologous series of hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n.
The simplest alkene is ethylene (C2H4), which has the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name ethene. Alkenes are also called olefins (an archaic synonym, widely used in the petrochemical industry). For bridged alkenes, the Bredt's rule states that a double bond cannot be placed at the bridgehead of a bridged ring system, unless the rings are large enough. Aromatic compounds are often drawn as cyclic alkenes, but their structure and properties are different and they are not considered to be alkenes.

Ann Kaiser is a former engineer with 15 years experience in secondary education. A graduate of Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science (B.S. Metallurgy and Materials Science) and the School of International and Public Affairs (Masters in International Affairs), she is a lifelong advocate of engineering as an agent for creative global problem-solving and innovation. As a member of the prestigious International Fellows program at Columbia, Ann focused on work involving world resources and technology transfer. As an engineer, her field of expertise was product and market development in the metals industry. As an educator, Ann's main interest is in attracting creative, innovative young people to technical fields by exposing them to the possibilities and promises of engineering.
Following a career change from engineering product development to secondary school teaching, Ann became interested in active learning techniques, particularly project-based learning. Her concern about the lack of encouragement for creativity and innovative thinking in traditional science courses led her to replace verification labs with engineering design based projects. Increased student interest led her to develop a separate Engineering Design curriculum 5 years ago. That course has seen quadrupled enrollment and has increased the number of students who go on to pursue engineering majors in college. It has also led to an increased commitment to providing some engineering experience to students in all science classes by replacing existing lab activities with design projects.
Ann was named a Fulbright Distinguished Teacher in 2013. She spent six months in Singapore working to implement Engineering Design projects as Performance Tasks in secondary physics classes. Ann is a member of the Network of Science Teachers (a selective MIT collaboration with science teachers on an international level), NSTA, RISTA, ASEE, ITEEA, AAPT, and ASCD. Ann has presented at numerous regional, national and international conferences. She has authored several technical papers detailing her research in Singapore and the effectiveness of the Engineering Design process in learning science concepts. Ann's book, Designing the Future, is a comprehensive handbook for K - 12 teachers who want to make Engineering Design part of their classroom culture. It is available from Solution Tree Press and on Amazon.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT & PROGRAM SUPPORT
Gabriel Rodriguez is an educator with certifications in Biology, Chemistry, and General Science for grades 7-12. A graduate of the Rhode Island College Teacher Education Program (B.A. Biology, Chemistry minor) he has seven years of experience in secondary education teaching Chemistry and was also an adjunct chemistry lab instructor at a local 4 year college. Gabriel's undergraduate experience as a research assistant in drug discovery and molecular toxicology labs led him to believe that students learn science best when they are allowed to become scientists. As a result, his own classrooms have become very active places where students develop lab procedures and analyze data in support of their claims. He moves well beyond the textbook to include real-world engineering and applications centered on key chemistry concepts.
In the process of earning his M.Ed., in the Advanced Studies of Teaching and Learning from Rhode Island College, Gabriel questioned the efficacy of using traditional lab reports as a principal means of assessing and supporting student learning in a science course. His research culminated in the construction of pedagogies for improving science learning by regularly having his students interact with a greater variety of the methods of communication used by scientists. His assessments reflect the same approach, focusing on skills as well as content. Gabriel has extensive experience designing curriculum using project-based and active learning in chemistry classrooms. He has developed a wide range of lessons and activities to support the inclusion of solid state chemistry, materials engineering, and the designed world into high school chemistry curriculum. Gabriel is bilingual and provides invaluable assistance in our work with students whose first language is Spanish.
Gabriel has served on the board of directors of the Rhode Island Science Teachers Association as well as presented in at the RISTA annual conference and the Buck Institute for Education's PBL regional conference. He is currently on the board of directors for the Rhode Island Writing Project. Gabriel considers his most prestigious position as being a husband and the father of two enormously loved young children.

The Hall of Fame's Most Under-Appreciated Players: Part 1
Is it possible that a player in the Baseball Hall of Fame could be considered under-appreciated? Isn't membership in those hallowed halls evidence enough that a particular player's legacy has been abundantly lauded?
Yet it is true in baseball, as in other walks of life, that even those honored can be quickly overshadowed by subsequent (or even prior) honorees.
For example, the actor Robert Duvall has won an Oscar, two Emmy's, and four Golden Globe Awards. Yet his name seldom seems to roll easily off the tongues of people discussing the best actors of the past forty years. On the other hand, Duvall's contemporary, Robert DeNiro, is ubiquitous on the vast majority of Best Actor lists. Duvall has received critical acclaim, but still seems to be generally under-appreciated.
But enough prologue. Let's get down to business.
It needs to be stated upfront, of course, that choosing a list of under-appreciated players is in large part an exercise in the subjective. After all, your list will probably look quite different from mine. We all have our biases, and we all choose the statistics most useful to suit our needs.
Having said that, today's post (the first of six planned posts on this topic) will focus on the first two players in this series who comprise the right side of my infield. Here, then, is the initial installment of my All-Time Hall of Fame Most Under-Appreciated Team:
1888 N403 Yum Yum Tobacco Roger Connor, Redemption Back SGC 60 EX 5 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
First Base – Roger Connor: Born in Waterbury, CT in 1857, Connor played his entire 18-year career (but for one season in the ill-fated Player's League) in the National League. He retired in 1897 at age 39, having amassed an incredible 233 triples (fifth most in history).
Playing primarily for the Trojans, the Giants and the Browns, Connor had more seasons of 100+ runs scored (8), than Lou Brock. He had as many 100 RBI seasons as Mickey Mantle, and his career WAR (80.6) is a bit higher than Ken Griffey, Jr.'s 79.2
Connor's OPS+ (153) was better than Honus Wagner's mark of 151. Connor is credited with being the first player to ever hit an out-of-the-park Grand Slam, and the first to hit a home run completely out of the Polo Grounds.
A big man, listed at 6'3″, 220 pounds, Connor both threw and hit left-handed. He could hit for average (.316 career), he could hit for power (led N.L. in home runs in 1890), he could steal a base (7 times he topped 20 steals), and he could play some defense (a solid 6.2 dWAR.)
Perhaps most impressively, Connor's 138 career home runs remained the M.L.B. record for 23 years after his retirement, until Babe Ruth shattered the mark in 1921.
Roger Connor died in his hometown of Waterbury, CT in January 1931. A victim of the Florida real estate crash of the early 1920's, Connor and his wife are buried side-by-side in unmarked graves in Waterbury's St. Josephs's Cemetery.
Second Base – Joe Gordon: Although there are at least a couple of Yankees who probably don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame (Herb Pennock and Phil Rizzuto come to mind), Joe Gordon has long been an under-appreciated player.
Other Yankee second basemen have been more widely known over the decades, players like Tony Lazzeri, Billy Martin, Bobby Richardson, Willie Randolph, and now, Robinson Cano. But, with the possible exception of Cano, no second baseman in Yankee history was better than Joe Gordon.
Gordon was born in Los Angeles in 1915, but his family later moved north to Oregon. Drafted by the Yankees as an amateur free agent, he immediately made an impact in New York, swatting 25 homers and driving in 96 runs for the 1938 Yankees. This incredible team also featured Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey.
In 1942, at the age of 27, Gordon won the A.L. MVP award.
Up through 1943, when Joe Gordon was still in his prime (28-years old), he'd already enjoyed six highly productive years with the Yanks. He had averaged 24 homers and 95 RBI per year, and had accumulated 33.3 WAR (about what Cano has generated in his first eight years.)
Then came WWII, or rather, Gordon's call to duty in a war that was already half over. The War cost Gordon two full years (1944-'45.) In 1946, he got injured in spring training and had a terrible year. He was traded to Cleveland the next season for pitcher Allie Reynolds.
The trade worked out well for both teams. Gordon went on to lead the Tribe to a World Series victory over the Boston Braves in the '48 World Series. His 32 homers that year remained the A.L. record for a second baseman for 53 years, until 2001.
During Gordon's tenure with the Yankees, he played in exactly 1,000 games, and he garnered exactly 1,000 hits.
Joe Gordon's 253 home runs remains the career record by an A.L. second baseman. That is a remarkable total, considering both of his home ball parks did not favor right-handed power hitters, also recalling that he missed a couple of his prime years to war.
Finally, Gordon's resume is further buttressed by a stellar defensive reputation. His career 22.4 dWAR is better than that of any second baseman in history not named Bill Mazeroski. Gordon's overall career WAR of 54.0 is better than that of Chase Utley, Jeff Kent, Nellie Fox, Tony Lazzeri and Bobby Doerr, to name but a few other highly productive second basemen.
Joe Gordon died of a heart attack in 1978, age 63. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame 30 years later, in 2009. It shouldn't have taken that long.
In the next installment of this series, I will take a look at the left side of the infield of my All-Time Under-Appreciated team.

Thanks for that clip from "apocalypse Now." Duvall's been in a lot of movies where he plays a higher ranking military guy ("The Great Santini" is another example of this; there are more, I believe.) This is kind of interesting, because when my father and he were in the army together at Camp Gordon, Georgia, neither had any aspirations to get past PFC! My father graduated from Brooklyn College in '53, was drafted right after that, kept his nose clean, and was out in '55. Same with Duvall. Interestingly, Duvall came from a military family; his father was a career military guy. (I'm not sure what branch.

Glen, Thanks for that interesting bit of info on Duvall. He has always been one of my favorites. In never knew he was actually in the army. And with your father, yet. What a great story that makes, huh?
As always, thanks for reading,

This is an interesting topic. When it comes time for HoF selection, it seems like there are a TON of articles on players who are snubbed, and maybe even a few on HoF players who are iffy, but I can't remember seeing something in defense of players who were already there.
I'll have to begrudgingly admit that I'd never heard of Roger Connor (or the Trojans; I assume you're not talking about USC), so I'll grant he may be an under appreciated player.
It's funny (in the ironic sense, and definitely not in the ha ha sense) that Joe Gordon returned from WWII and THEN suffered an injury. So many men from an entire generation (and not just sports, but in all other walks of life including entertainment) gave up a chunk of their youth (and sometimes more) to fight in that war.
I hadn't thought about it, but you're right regarding Robert Duvall. He kinda fades into the background. If you ask somebody to list the greatest actors of our time, they might leave him off. But then, when reminded, might put him in that list. Perhaps it's because his acting style is so understated. I can think of many, many "great" characters he's played, but off hand, I can't think of any "big" ones. I mean "big" in the sense of scenery-chewing and scene stealing (and immediately after I wrote those words, I remembered "Apocalypse Now," which I last saw a clip of about 30 seconds ago). He's handsome, but not "movie-star" handsome. More "real-life" handsome.

"What do you know about surfing? You're from goddamned New Jersey!" I love that line from Apocalypse Now.
Connor is definitely not a household name, and probably never will be. And you're right on the money regarding the irony of WWII vets coming back to America, having lost time and opportunity (or far, far worse.)
Glad you like the topic.
Thanks, Bill

Great research and as well-written as always. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Thanks, Mike. Glad you like it so far.
Allan G. Smorra on September 11, 2012 at 12:15 AM said:
Another well-written, insightful article, Bill. Thanks for the nod to Robert Duvall, he is also a favorite of mine. Let's not forget his role in The Great Santini, filmed down your way.
William Miller on September 11, 2012 at 12:18 AM said:
Thanks very much, Allan. You're right, the Great Santini is an excellent film.

…but a pretty lousy book.
Have to admit, I never read it.
footinthebucket on September 10, 2012 at 5:04 PM said:
I forgot to tell you that writing about this is a terrific and very original idea, Bill. Mostly, we think of people who SHOULD be in the Hall of Fame who aren't (Minnie Minoso comes readily to mind to me), as well as who SHOULDN'T be in the Hall of Fame who IS in the Hall of Fame. This an innovative idea.
Let me see if I can think of an under-appreciated Hall of Fame member. How about Hank Greenberg? Or Bill Mazeroski? (It gets me teed off when people say, "Oh, he only got in because of that home run in the world series!) Baloney! He was probably the best defensive second baseman EVER. I also don't understand why the voters for the Hall of Fame don't give MORE consideration to great defensive players who weren't necessarily such great offensive players. Let's not forget how the Mets won it all in 1969: Pitching and DEFENSE!
Glen Russell Slater
I think there was a time when Greenberg was under-appreciated, but I'm not sure that's true anymore. It's interesting to note how few first basemen, outside of Gehrig and Foxx, really are considered superstars (in a Reggie Jackson sort of way), considering how important an offensive position first base has always been. Eddie Murray, for example, is not exactly a household name these days, let alone Dan Brouthers, Cap Anson, or Johnny Mize.
Thanks for reading, and for the kind words,
Dan McCloskey on September 11, 2012 at 4:19 PM said:
Speaking of Dan Brouthers, I was thinking of him as you acknowledged Roger Connor. The two are almost interchangeable as the great power hitters of the 19th century. Then I realized Connor didn't get inducted into the Hall of Fame until 1976, 31 years after Brouthers. Hard to believe it took so long.
My father—- certainly appreciated both Gordon AND Robert Duvall. My family went to just about every movie that Duvall was ever in because they were pals in the army in 1954. They even acted together in a production of "Room Service" in downtown Augusta, Georgia, near to where they served (Camp Gordon, Georgia).
Hey Glen, That's a great story, man. I'd love to meet Duvall someday. To me, his finest moment on film was when he played Colonel Kilgore, commanding officer of the 7th Air Cav in "Apocalypse Now." My favorite line: "Charlie don't surf!"
Adam Darowski on September 10, 2012 at 1:50 PM said:
Yes! Been waiting for this series. When I saw the title, I thought "Joe Gordon". And there he is. Looking forward to the rest!
Thanks, Adam. I think you'll like my shortstop, too. Not sure what you'll think about my third-baseman. Should have it out by Thursday of this week.
Cheers, Bill

Nice idea for a series. You can argue (and I have) that all 19th Century players are underappreciated and it's a chore to decide which ones to emphasize. But I like adding in 20th Century players also because it's amazing how many of them have dropped off the radar. Gordon is a good choice for one of these.
Looking forward to your SS, 3B guys.
Completely agree with you. I realized when I began this that I could make up an entire team of nothing but 19th-century players, but I decided to mix it up a bit. As you say, there are still plenty of 20th century guys who have virtually fallen off the radar.
Thanks, as always,
Kevin Graham on September 10, 2012 at 12:17 PM said:
As a Yankee fan, I completely agree with Joe Gordon being under-appreciated. He is rarely mentioned when Yankee greats are discussed.
Roger Connor is one of my favorite 19th Century players. I think I stand with V, in saying that he's appreciated by the both of us.
Kevin G
Thanks, Kevin. Those were two easy choices for me.

643 F. 2d 1380 - Normile v. Maritime Company of the Philippines
643 F2d 1380 Normile v. Maritime Company of the Philippines
Wayne A. NORMILE, Petitioner-Appellant,
MARITIME COMPANY OF THE PHILIPPINES, Respondent-Appellee.
Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted Dec. 11, 1980.
Arthur W. Lazear, Hoffman & Associates, Oakland, Cal., for petitioner-appellant.
Frederick W. Wentker, Jr., San Francisco, Cal., for respondent-appellee.
Before FLETCHER and FERGUSON, Circuit Judges, and GRANT,* District Judge.
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff was injured while working as a federally employed longshoreman unloading defendant's ship. Although entitled to receive workman's compensation as a federal employee, he instituted suit against defendant, inter alia, on the ground that its vessel was not in seaworthy condition.
Defendant moved to bar plaintiff from trying the issue of unseaworthiness, asserting that longshoremen have no right to maintain that cause of action. The motion was granted. The case is now on interlocutory appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b).
We hold that no longshoreman, whether publicly or privately employed, can bring an unseaworthiness action. Accordingly, we affirm.
In Seas Shipping Co. v. Sieracki, 328 U.S. 85, 66 S.Ct. 872, 90 L.Ed. 1099 (1946), the Supreme Court modified the law of admiralty to grant a privately employed longshoreman the right to sue for unseaworthiness1 the owner of the vessel on which he was injured. Sieracki's holding was subsequently expanded by analogy in lower courts to include a publicly employed longshoreman. See, e. g., Sandoval v. Mitsui Sempaku K. K. Tokyo, 460 F.2d 1163 (5th Cir. 1972). Relying upon that expansion, plaintiff public employee instituted the instant suit.
Congress took away the unseaworthiness remedy granted by Sieracki with its enactment of the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act Amendments of 1972, 86 Stat. 1251, 1263, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901 et seq., § 905. Cooper Stevedoring Co. v. Kopke, Inc., 417 U.S. 106, 113 n.6, 94 S.Ct. 2174, 2178 n.6, 40 L.Ed.2d 694 (1974) (dictum); Hanseatische Reederei Emil Offen & Co. v. Marine Terminals Corp., 590 F.2d 778, 782 n.1 (9th Cir. 1979) (dictum); Rich v. United States Lines, Inc., 596 F.2d 541, 546 (3d Cir. 1979); United States Lines, Inc. v. United States, 593 F.2d 570, 572 (4th Cir. 1979). With the demise of Sieracki went the right of an injured longshoreman to maintain a cause of action for unseaworthiness.
Plaintiff argues that Sieracki remains valid with respect to him. He points out that the section that abolishes the unseaworthiness remedy is limited by its terms to actions brought under the Act, 33 U.S.C. § 905(b). Federal employees are specifically excepted from the Act's coverage. 33 U.S.C. § 903(a)(2). Therefore, Normile concludes, Congress took away the unseaworthiness remedy with respect to private longshoremen, but left it intact with respect to public longshoremen.
Plaintiff misconceives the evolution of the law. The Supreme Court gave private longshoremen absolute liability protection in 1946 with Sieracki. Between 1946 and 1972, public longshoremen asserted right analogous to those afforded private longshoremen. In the 1972 Amendments, Congress took away absolute liability for injured private longshoremen and substituted a workmen's compensation schedule. All that the Supreme Court gave, Congress took away. There remains no viable precedent to which plaintiff public employee can analogize. He has no cause of action.2
Moreover, plaintiff would lose even if the 1972 Amendments were construed to leave Sieracki standing but largely circumscribed. Sieracki and the overwhelming majority of cases arising thereunder involved private litigants. The mere fact that Congress in the 1972 Amendments addressed its change in policy only to "the specific cases most likely to occur in the mind," United States v. Hutcheson, 312 U.S. 219, 235, 61 S.Ct. 463, 467, 85 L.Ed. 788 (1941), does not mean that the precedent which those Amendments attacked, although technically still standing, should be followed. Id.3 Given that the 1972 Amendments have eviscerated if not eliminated Sieracki, we decline to consider it binding. Cf. Women's Liberation Union of R. I. v. Israel, 512 F.2d 106, 109 (1st Cir. 1975) (rejecting Supreme Court precedents because of "metamorphosis of the attitudes which fed them"); Kenny Constr. Co. v. District of Columbia, 262 F.2d 926 (D.C. Cir. 1959) (declining to follow Supreme Court case following Congressional action in parallel context).
Courts which have considered whether Congress intended to eliminate the unseaworthiness cause of action with respect to public as well as private longshoremen have reached contrary conclusions. Compare Aparicio v. Swan Lake, 479 F.Supp. 1088 (D.C.Z.1979) and Quinn v. Central Gulf S. S. Corp., 1977 A.M.C. 204 (D.Md.1977) with Pinto v. Vessel "Santa Isabel", 492 F.Supp. 689 (D.C.Z.1980) and Guevara v. Cia Sud Americana de Vapores, 1978 A.M.C. 2000 (D.C.Z.1978). As Part I, ante, demonstrates, this case can be decided without reference to such intent.
We note, however, that our reading of Congress' intent harmonizes with the result we reach today.4 The primary evidence of Congress' will is found in H.R.Rep.No.1441, 92d Cong., 2d Sess. (1972), reproduced in 3 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 4698 (1972). Part of that report reads:
Thus a vessel shall not be liable in damages for acts or omissions of stevedores or employees of stevedores subject to this Act, for the manner or method in which stevedores or employees of stevedores subject to this Act perform their work, for gear or equipment of stevedores or employees of stevedores subject to this Act ..., or for other categories of unseaworthiness which have been judicially established.
Id. at 4703-04 (citations omitted and emphasis supplied). It appears from this language that Congress intended to eliminate the longshoremen's action for unseaworthiness not only with respect to those longshoremen covered by the Act, but for other longshoremen whose rights were judicially created. Further, the tenor of the report evidences a desire for uniformity in the treatment of all longshoremen which plaintiff's position herein could only defeat. See, e. g., id. at 4705.
Plaintiff's cause of action expired with Sieracki. The granting of defendant's motion is AFFIRMED.
The Honorable Robert A. Grant, Senior United States District Judge for the Northern District of Indiana, sitting by designation
The admiralty doctrine of unseaworthiness effectively places absolute liability upon the shipowner. See Seas Shipping Co. v. Sieracki, 328 U.S. 85, 90-94, 66 S.Ct. 872, 875, 90 L.Ed. 1099 (1946)
This conclusion does not leave plaintiff without adequate remedy. The Federal Employees' Compensation Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 8101 et seq., entitles him as a federal employee to workmen's compensation virtually identical to that afforded by the Longshoremen's Act. Further, he can still recover from defendant under the Longshoremen's Act upon a showing of negligence. 33 U.S.C. § 905(b)
It has always been the duty of the common-law court to perceive the impact of major legislative innovations and to interweave the new legislative policies with the inherited body of common-law principles
Moragne v. States Marine Lines, 398 U.S. 375, 392, 90 S.Ct. 1772, 1783, 26 L.Ed.2d 339 (1970).
Though the Congressional intent is worth noting, we do not find it controlling. Indeed, were our opinion to hinge solely on statutory construction, rather than on the analysis in Part I, ante, we would never have reached the issue of legislative intent in the face of such a clear statutory mandate. The 1972 amendments eliminate longshoremen's actions for unseaworthiness only as to persons "covered under this chapter." 33 U.S.C. § 905(b). The whole chapter, in turn, is inapplicable to federal employees. 33 U.S.C. § 903(a)(2). (The exclusion of federal employees was part of the original Longshoremen's Act of 1927. Congress altered part (a)(1) of this section in the 1972 Amendments, but left the exclusion for federal employees in part (a)(2) intact.) The statute is, accordingly, expressly inapplicable to one in plaintiff's position. Therefore, as a matter of simple statutory construction Congressional intent is not relevant

AN ex-convict was detained for carrying forged notes with a face value of more than 200,000 yuan (US$29,294), Qingpu District police said yesterday.
The suspect, surnamed Peng, was seized on Sunday when he returned to his temporary residence from the city's long-distance bus station.
Police said he has been convicted before for theft.
"We have kept an eye on him for more than two months," said Shi Weifeng, a Qingpu police spokesman. "But we are still not sure what he intended to do with the counterfeit money."
Peng went to his hometown in central China's Henan Province last week to collect the fake notes, police said.
Peng was taken to a police station soon after he got off a bus.
Officers found the forged notes hidden in a instant noodle box, police said.
