AGDAM, NAGORNO-KARABAKH - APRIL 21: Wildflowers bloom along the edge of a bunkered road leading to the line of contact between the armed forces of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijani military forces in the eastern direction on April 21, 2015 near the town of Agdam, Nagorno-Karabakh. Since signing a ceasefire in a war with Azerbaijan in 1994, Nagorno-Karabakh, officially part of Azerbaijan, has functioned as a self-declared independent republic and de facto part of Armenia, with hostilities along the line of contact between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan occasionally flaring up and causing casualties.

Sergeant Wallace Mowbray was shot and killed during a traffic stop near Chester, Maryland. He was checking a license plate over the radio when he was struck by a shotgun blast. The license plates turned out to be stolen and two of the four occupants had warrants out for their arrest.
All four suspects fled from the scene. Two suspects, who were later convicted of doing the shooting, kidnapped a couple in Chester, took their car, and raped the woman. They were captured several hours later. The other two suspects stole a boat and headed toward the Western Shore. They were captured two days later.
All four suspects were convicted of Sergeant Mowbray's murder. One of the suspects convicted of doing the shooting was sentenced to life plus 95 years for rape, kidnapping, and other crimes committed before and after Sergeant Mowbray's murder. In 1982 he escaped from prison and was placed on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. He was captured 14 months later. In 1991 he won a new trial which resulted in less serious convictions and a 27 year sentence. He was paroled in 1993. Four months later he was sent back to prison for four years when he violated his parole with a disorderly conduct charge. In 1999 he was sent back to prison again when he took money from a charity jar in a Glen Burnie, Maryland, cafe. On December 1, 2003, he was arrested and charged with robbing a Glen Burnie bank. He was convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to 20 years June 18, 2004.
The other suspect convicted of the shooting was sentenced to life in prison.
The third suspect was sentenced to 55 years and the fourth suspect was sentenced to 20 years.
Sergeant Mowbray had been a member of the Maryland State Police for almost 14 years.

Bangalore, Sep 20 (UNI) Fifteen people have been picked up for questioning in connection with the attack on the house of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's daughter and torching of a Tamil Nadu bus here, in which two people were charred to death on Tuesday.
Additional Commissioner of Police Bipin Gopalakrishna, talking to UNI, however, clarified that no arrest was made in this connection.
The house of Ms Selvi, Managing Director of Udaya TV belonging to the Sun Network, was attacked on Tuesday by some miscreants, who hurled petrol bombs and pelted stones at her house in protest of the comments made by Mr Karunanidhi on Lord Ram.
Miscreants had torched a Chennai-bound Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation bus on the busy Hosur road, after asking the passengers to alight. However, two passengers, who were fast asleep, were burnt to death.

The Browns were back at it in shorts and helmets Saturday evening in Berea. They appeared to be working on offensive installation again, after taking a couple of practices to focus on last Thursday's preseason game. This was the team's first on field practice since the win over the Rams.
The big news from practice would be the return of Trent Richardson and T.J. Ward to action in 11-on-11 drills. Both took some snaps with their respective units, but still split time with back-ups.
Joe Haden was terrific again in practice. He intercepted two Brandon Weeden passes. The first was while covering Josh Gordon on a deep route. Haden was with Gordon stride for stride but saw the ball was a tad under thrown and made his break for it first shielding Gordon from the ball with his body and coming down with the pass inside the five yard line.
The second interception was also against Weeden, while covering Davone Bess on an out route. Haden anticipated the pass and jumped the route. He would have scored easily.
"He had a real nice break on a couple balls and picked them off. Like I said before, Joe's approach has been outstanding." Rob Chudzinski said about Haden's practice. "He is hungry to become the kind of player he can and reach his potential. He continues to work at it and he's making plays out here every day. Those things and what I have been pleased with is the guy's ability to take things from the meeting room to the practice field and then from the practice field to the games."
A couple of other players that had good practices were wide receivers Greg Little and Josh Cooper. Little had a couple of touchdown receptions, and a very nice leaping catch over Johnson Bademosi.
Cooper is battling for a spot on the team and did well for himself Saturday. One of the players he is battling against is certainly Jordan Norwood, who wasn't able to practice. Coach Chudzinski said that Norwood had a tight hamstring following the game on Thursday, and is resting it a bit.
At the end of practice, coach Chudzinski set the ball on the three yard line and announced the situation as fourth and goal needing a touchdown to win. The losing team (either offense or defense) would be eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner. The first units lined up and the offense ran a pass to Dion Lewis who was covered by D'Qwell Jackson. Jackson made the tackle at the goal line, but not before the refs signaled that Lewis had stretched the ball over the line and scored. So it appeared the offense had won.
The play was ruled dead before the pass got off according to coach Chudzinski who said Weeden had been sacked. Since there is no contact on the quarterbacks in practice, when defenders get near the red jerseys they pull off and the play continues as if there had been no sack, bit in film study the sacks are obvious.
There was some debate about whether or not the sack would have been made.
"It depends on who you talk to. Brandon (Weeden) came right over and said there was no way, but we will see and check it out on film." said Chudzinski.
The second string was brought on to try and settle the matter. This time there was no doubt who the winner was as Jason Campbell's pass in the corner of the end zone was picked off by defensive back Abdul Kanneh. Game over. The offense gets the peanut butter, and the defense the steak. (Or at least that's what Billy Winn said the defense was having.)
– Montario Hardesty, Chris Owens, Brad Smelley, Oniel Cousins, Ryan Miller and Chris Faulk all sat out practice.

The Oxfam Coffee Campaign – or Mugged – was the major Oxfam campaign in 2003. And it was timely. Coffee prices were at an all time low and coffee farmers were suffering. And it helped bring to life the struggles farmers face in the current multilateral trade system – a global trade system that held very little benefit for the small farmers.
It had all the ingredients for a successful Oxfam campaign – a product that people consume in abundance (coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world – only oil beats it), an alternative with a catchy name – Fair Trade, the faces of African farmers on all materials to get supporters going, and well known brands that people could brand as the 'evil predators' – Nestle, Kraft, P&G and Sara Lee. A lethal combination and the bread and butter of campaigning. And luck was on my side – a few things went my way and I was asked to head up the campaign a few months after joining Oxfam in 2002. (Previous campaign lead Sophia Tickell left within a few months of me joining Oxfam).
I thought we had a good campaign. We asked coffee companies, or Roasters as we called them, to commit to very specific actions to help address the coffee crisis. And many of the companies we targeted did take up our challenge – not all of them, but at least a few did. I thought we should 'celebrate' our first year of the Mugged campaign by doing some proper quantitative research to assess whether the Roaster did what we asked them to do. It was going to be easy – tick the box and move on. We even came up with the idea of giving companies a report card to show the progress they made. And the campaign anniversary took place in September when so much focus would be on the report cards kids receive at school – easy publicity.
But there was a major problem I did not even think of – what will happen if one or more of the companies passed? For me it was easy – if you pass you pass. It would show people that progress has been made and that we can be part of the change we want – that their support and our campaign can make a real difference. And that we are grownup enough to tip our hat to those companies who recognize their mistakes and made the changes we asked them to make.
We did our best research and even developed a 'bean count' system – 0 was ' just not coffee' and 5 was 'the fairest brew'. And the nightmare began when we realized that the most boycotted company in the UK, and major campaign target, Nestle passed the test. Most people just couldn't stand the possibility of acknowledging anything good at Nestle – never mind saying publicly that they did okay in doing what we asked them to do. It just wasn't cricket.
Still, for me it was easy. We had to do what was right – report our findings. I had a daughter that just started school and wouldn't want anyone to move the goalposts for her when it came to school. And I couldn't do it to someone else – even if I didn't like them. So I stuck to my guns and argued that we should do what was right and acknowledge that companies made progress and that they got a pass on their report card. Mind you, they didn't get A's in our initial research – they got C's. A pass, but not a good pass – 'room for improvement', 'work harder' and 'showing promise' would be the taglines that would accompany the report cards. Not glowing grades, but a pass nevertheless.
I had to go on a trip and left the work for others to complete – do the graphics and get the campaign materials ready. Boy, was I in for a surprise when I got back. Someone senior (and someone I respected and liked) decided that we just couldn't give companies any credit and changed the maths. Instead of grading them on the things we asked them to do, Oxfam changed the grades and decided to make one of the four things we asked them to do count for 70% of the grade. Why? Because almost all of them failed this part of the test. It didn't matter that Oxfam believed that this one part wasn't more important that others. What mattered most was to fail the companies. All of them. And they did. Nestle got 43% in the report card.
I learned a harsh lesson. I might have taught research methodology at university, but when it came to social maths you can't beat a campaigner. Truth and fact was truly in the eye of the beholder – Oxfam.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention. I refused to budge and refused to lead the report card campaign. It did happen. Just not with me leading it.


text: Srida, first of all get the service history and confirm that only damage was whatever SA informed you. Whatever damage has been mentioned by the SA can be the result of a dog hit at high speed! so theres nothing to worry. My car also had a dog hit at around 100 kmph and suffered damages to the same parts mentioned by you.. Just get the car examined thoroughly for peace of mind. Also its very easy to examine and tell if any external metallic part like doors/ panels etc were changed. take it to any roadside mechanic for additional confirmation.

Dorothea's father, like all good parents, wanted to keep his children safe. But unlike other parents, Charles O'Brien believed the only way to do so was to leave everything behind, including his very successful life. In a rocky, desolate corner of New Mexico, on a 35 acre estate he called the "Sanctuary," Charles raised the children in complete isolation, with books and encyclopedias, records and a grand piano, but no television, computer, radio, or even a newspaper. Now, Dorothea, at 23, is leaving this place for the first time, in search of her missing brother - and venturing into the world. Dorothea's search will turn into an odyssey of discovery, leading to the truth of her family's past and the terrifying day that changed her father forever. But Dorothea's journey will also introduce her to an unusual cast of characters, including a homeless girl from Missouri who becomes a jazz singer and a doctor turned cabdriver who has suffered his own losses. Together, they have a chance to make a discovery of a different kind: that though a heart can be broken by the tragic events of a day, a day can also bring a new chance at love and a deeper understanding of life's infinite possibilities.More

Deep & Interesting book - BUT violent rape attempt
I thought about reading this book for a long time. The central theme – about how a pivotal moment can change lives made me want to write an essay. I was interested in how the book seemed to stir up some debate on whether it was a good "book club book". My opinion is that although the theme is hard to dispute there is certainly a lot to say about the decisions various people make, the inevitability of certain things - and whether you like or dislike the various characters.
What held me back for a long time from reading this is that I knew the book had a violent rape scene (technically it is an attempted rape, but extremely violent) I kept deciding not to read it. I finally went into a bookstore and read the offending scene which was easy enough to find while skimming and decided I could handle it. Having read the whole book now, it certainly could have been less gruesome, but it avoids a lot of the stuff I am trying to avoid by avoiding rape books since the victim isn't actually raped. The book involves a boy and girl raised to adulthood on an isolated estate named "The Sanctuary" by their father - who is so paranoid about their safety that they aren't even allowed to have a swing. At age 25, the boy heads out in the world and his 23 year old sister follows in search of him. The book mostly follows this girl, Dorothea.
The other parts of the book tell the story of the past from the point of view of Dorothea's mother Lucy, who isn't dead like Dorothea was told. Lucy is an actress so her parts of the story are about Hollywood to some extent. I think I would have avoided the book if I knew that because I don't usually find movie stars interesting but really the book is so focused on the family that it is okay that it has the Hollywood setting. So we see Dorothea's father from her adoring view and from the view of his wife before and after he kidnaps their children. That character Charles is probably the most controversial and would provide the most material for book club discussion. Is he evil? Why does he steal the children? Would they have been better off if he hadn't stolen them or not? Etc.
I am not sure what other people would get from this book. It had a weird effect on me. When Lucy's children are stolen, her son is 6 and her daughter is 4. His memories of her are fragmented and hers are non existent almost. That seemed so sad. Additionally, it gave me a new appreciation of time with my kids. What this book managed to say to me personally was that my focus was wrong. Enjoying things not being worse implies that they are bad. They are not bad they are actually good. Having my sweet children is a good thing, a wonderful thing that has been overshadowed by the bad thing – in my case my son's autism. That thing should not be preventing enjoying their childhoods. The bad thing would be not getting that opportunity. I wonder if Lisa Tucker even knows she said all that - probably not. :-)
I should warn people though that sheltered innocent goody-goody daddy-worshipping Dorothea is perhaps one of the most annoying people ever - especially when you have to listen to her and hear her little voice. It became somewhat less annoying when we get to know Lucy who is by nature an innocent goody-goody but doesn't get to turn into a Dorothea because the world doesn't allow it. My view of the story is somewhat colored by my strong preference for Lucy over the other characters. I would have preferred a somewhat different ending as well. As often happens the end doesn't give me quite enough of what the story is building up to all along.

How Broncos got here: Losing McDaniels, drafts, landing Manning
The Broncos reach Super Bowl XLVIII on the heels of the ill-fated Josh McDaniels regime, drafting wisely, John Elway's leadership ... and landing No. 18.
More SB coverage: XLVIII odds | Expert picks | Weather updates | Latest news
The Denver Broncos are making their seventh trip to the Super Bowl, which puts them only behind the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl appearances. Here's how these Broncos, in line to become the ninth franchise with at least three Super Bowl victories, were built.
Josh McDaniels' Impact
A late-season collapse in 2008, when the Broncos lost their final three games to finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs for the third straight year, prompted owner Pat Bowlen to fire head coach Mike Shanahan after 14 years. New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels became one of the youngest head coaches in NFL history as Shanahan's successor. Surprisingly, Bowlen gave McDaniels, then 32, complete control over football operations. He got off on the wrong foot by alienating quarterback Jay Cutler, who learned McDaniels had discussions with the Patriots to acquire Matt Cassel in a three-team trade that would have sent Cutler to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Upset by the rumor and his treatment by the organization, Cutler demanded a trade. The Broncos accommodated, sending him and a 2009 fifth-round pick to the Chicago Bears for Kyle Orton, a 2009 first-round pick (18th overall), a 2009 third-round pick and a 2010 first-round pick.
After a 6-0 start as head coach, it was downhill for McDaniels. The Broncos lost eight of their final 10 in 2009. He clashed with Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall as his Bill Belichick imitation wore thin in the locker room. Marshall was dealt to the Miami Dolphins after the season for 2010 and '11 second-round draft choices. McDaniels was fired 12 games into the 2010 season after the Broncos started 3-9 record. He was 11-17 as Denver's head coach.
McDaniels' fingerprints are on Denver's current roster. His 2009 draft class produced starting running back Knowshon Moreno (12th overall pick) and defensive end Robert Ayers, who was taken 18th overall with one of the picks from the Cutler deal. The 2010 class, McDaniels' final draft, paid more dividends. Wide receivers Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker were taken in the first and third rounds. Zane Beadles was selected in the second round. He has started nearly every game of his career at left guard and earned a Pro Bowl spot last season. McDaniels also took a gamble by trading up to the 25th overall pick to select Tim Tebow.
McDaniels had his share of draft blunders. One in particular could come back to haunt the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. He traded a 2010 first-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2009 second-round pick to select undersized cornerback Alphonso Smith. Seattle took All-Pro safety Earl Thomas (14th overall) with the pick they got from Denver. Smith was such a disappointment as a rookie that he was traded to the Detroit Lions following the season for tight end Dan Gronkowski, a 2009 seventh-round pick.
The John Elway Factor
John Elway was hired in January 2011 as executive vice president of football operations after the McDaniels experiment failed. Elway's first order of business was finding a head coach. After setting his sights on luring Jim Harbaugh away from Stanford, Elway hired John Fox, who had a 78-74 record with the Carolina Panthers, including the franchise's only Super Bowl appearance.
Hiring Elway was viewed with some skepticism because of his lack of NFL front-office experience and considering the poor track record of Hall of Fame players running teams. Initially, Elway leaned on general manager Brian Xanders, who left the organization after the 2012 NFL Draft, and other members of the front office while he got up to speed. His experience as co-owner of the Arena Football League's Colorado Crush, where he was heavily involved in running the club's football and business operations, helped him become a quick study. He became the de facto general manager after Xanders' departure. Former agent Mike Sullivan, who ran Octagon's football division for more than a decade, was hired to manage the salary cap and negotiate player contracts after Elway's first year in charge.
Elway's first draft as head of the Broncos was viewed as a success. Defensive Rookie of the Year Von Miller was taken with the second overall pick. Free safety Rahim Moore and right tackle Orlando Franklin were taken in the second round. Tight end Julius Thomas, a former college basketball player with limited football experience, was selected in the fourth round.
Elway drew the ire of Broncos fans in his inaugural season with his refusal to declare Tebow the quarterback of the future during the height of Tebowmania. Even though Tebow led the Broncos to the AFC West title and an upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC wild-card game, Elway thought Tebow lacked the skills to produce a championship.
The most important acquisition of Elway's tenure is Peyton Manning. He took a calculated risk in signing Manning to a five-year, $96 million contract when there was uncertainty over whether Manning would return to form after multiple neck surgeries. Elway's ability to relate to Manning as a quarterback with success late in his career was instrumental in him choosing the Broncos over the San Francisco 49ers, who appeared to be a more Super Bowl-ready team.
The Peyton Manning Effect
Manning, arguably in the midst of the best two-year stretch of his 16-year career, instantly transformed the Broncos into Super Bowl contenders. Denver has secured home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs each season and has a league-leading 26 wins the past two seasons.
The Broncos went from a run-oriented team that heavily relied on the read option under Tebow to a top-five offense in Manning's first year. Thomas and Decker evolved into 1 of 3 NFL receiving tandems with both receivers gaining more than 1,000 yards. The four-time NFL MVP's presence also was a primary reason Wes Welker joined the Broncos after talks to remain with the Patriots stalled. Welker turned down more money from another team to sign a two-year, $12 million contract to play for a contender.
The addition of Welker and the emergence of Thomas at tight end helped turn Denver into the most prolific offensive attack in NFL history. The Broncos set single-season NFL records for points scored (606) and net passing yards (5,444). Their 7,317 yards of total offense is the second-best single-season mark ever.
Roster building, player contracts and salary cap
The Broncos are in a win-now mode because of Manning's small championship window. Fourteen players on Denver's roster are age 30 or older. The Broncos also have their share of home-grown talent. Thirty-six of the 64 players (56.25 percent) under contract for this season were drafted or originally signed as undrafted free agents by the club.
Denver has bolstered its roster by being active in free agency. In addition to Manning, six more Super Bowl starters are free-agent acquisitions, including five (Welker, G Louis Vasquez, DT Terrance Knighton, DE/LB Shaun Phillips and CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) from Denver's mini-spending spree in the offseason. Vasquez was the highest-priced acquisition. He signed a four-year, $23.5 million contract ($13M guaranteed).
The majority of their free-agent signings have been short-term deals containing moderate salaries where some contracts contain incentives. The Broncos were able to overcome the loss of defensive end Elvis Dumervil, released because of a paperwork snafu on his renegotiated contract that reduced his 2013 salary from $12 million to $8 million, by landing Phillips. He posted 10 sacks in the regular season after signing a one-year, $1 million deal with an additional $2 million in incentives based on sacks.
The Broncos do not make extensive use of minimum salary benefit contracts (the player receives his league minimum base salary and a maximum of $65,000 as a signing bonus with these one-year deals. The player's base salary counts on the cap at the minimum salary for players with two years of service -- $555,000 for this season -- instead of at his actual base salary). The Broncos only have two players with minimum salary benefit contracts this season.
The Broncos are able to take this approach and accumulate quality depth to overcome injuries because only three players (Manning, cornerback Champ Bailey and offensive tackle Ryan Clady) are among the highest-paid players at their positions with large 2013 cap numbers. Manning has the NFL's third-highest cap figure this season at $17.5 million. Bailey's $10.75 million cap number ranks fourth among cornerbacks. Clady signed a five-year, $52.5 million deal (with $33 million in guarantees and an additional $5 million in base salary escalators) in July as Denver's franchise player. The former All-Pro tackle's $12.6 million cap number is the highest for offensive linemen this year.
Clady was lost for the season after two games with a Lisfranc foot injury. Chris Clark has filled in capably for him. He ranked in the top 10 for left tackles in Pro Football Focus' passing block efficiency metric. In addition to Clady, four defensive starters, including Miller, have suffered season-ending injuries.

A government crackdown on the cost of further education red tape saved just a "modest" £4 million, the public spending watchdog has said.
The National Audit Office (NAO) said the plan to free institutions from unnecessary bureaucracy did not go far enough and vital funding that could be spent on teaching students was being swallowed up by the administration costs.
Despite reforms being put in place, nearly one quarter of providers felt the administrative burden was now worse while 60% said it was no different.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) introduced a "simplification" plan after an NAO report three years ago estimated up to £70 million a year could be slashed by reforming the system.
Much of the bill for red tape is caused by having a number of different funding arrangements but BIS and the Department for Education have "not done enough" to streamline the system, according to the NAO.
The watchdog said a "much more serious effort" was needed to tackle the problem.
Around £7 billion is channelled through the two main funding bodies – the Skills Funding Agency and the Education Funding Agency – .every year for around 4.2 million students.
NAO head Amyas Morse said: "We and the Public Accounts Committee have highlighted before the over-complexity in the further education sector and the unnecessary burden this places on training providers. This diverts money away from students.
"Despite some progress there is still too much red tape. While initiatives to reduce the levels of bureaucracy have generated some good ideas, putting them into practice has not significantly cut the cost incurred by hard pressed providers.
"The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, working with the Department for Education, needs to consider more radical ways to simplify complex funding arrangements."
A BIS spokesman said: "We have made good progress in removing and reducing bureaucracy for further education providers. Funding and inspection systems have been streamlined and providers tell us that this has had a positive impact.
"We will carry on working with the sector to reduce bureaucracy whilst driving up the quality of further education provision and making it more responsive to the needs of learners and employers."

The Evolution of Income Concentration in Japan, 1886-2002: Evidence from Income Tax Statistics
This paper studies the evolution of income concentration in Japan from 1886 to 2002 by constructing long-run series of top income shares and top wage income shares, using income tax statistics. We find that (1) income concentration was extremely high throughout the pre-WWII period during which the nation underwent rapid industrialization; (2) a drastic de-concentration of income at the top took place in 1938-1945; (3) income concentration has remained low throughout the post-WWII period despite the high economic growth; and (4) top income composition in Japan has shifted dramatically from capital income to employment income over the course of the 20th century. We attribute the precipitous fall in income concentration during WWII primarily to the collapse of capital income due to wartime regulations and inflation. We argue that the change in the institutional structure under the occupational reforms made the one-time income de-concentration difficult to reverse. In contrast to the sharp increase in wage income inequality observed in the United States since 1970, the top wage income shares in Japan have remained remarkably stable over the recent decades. We show that the change in technology or tax policies alone cannot account for the comparative experience of Japan and the United States. Instead we suggest that institutional factors such as corporate governance and union structure are important determinants of wage income inequality.

Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen Commits Half of Wealth to Charity/
GivingTracker| Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, said in a statement today that he will publicly pledge half his wealth.
The Wall Street Journal reports this is a change for Mr Allen, who has maintained a low profile on his giving.
Bill Gates, his wife Melinda Gates and investor Warren Buffett, last month called on billionaires to commit publicly to giving away at least half of their wealth in their lifetimes or at death.
Mr. Allen has given away about $1 billion, including more than 3,000 grants totaling $400 million through his philanthropy, Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. He has privately donated $600 million to a range of organizations, including the University of Washington, says WSJ.
Born in Seattle, Mr. Allen's giving has focused on has focused on the Pacific Northwest. His portfolio includes Seattle's Experience Music Project, a music museum, and ownership of two professional sports teams == the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers. Allen is part owner of the Seattle Sounders professional soccer team. WSJ says Paul Allen is now funding a wildlife conservation project in Africa, as well as an education project.

Eagle Materials produced a 21.1% advance in first half turnover to US$516.4m and the pre-tax profit rose by 63.0% to US$188.9m.
Largely, these increases are price induced and still highly beneficial to margins, with the group achieving its highest prices ever in its second quarter, both in cement and in plasterboard.
The cement operations increased first half turnover by 16.5% to US$175.5m, of which US$37.1m came from the joint venture with HeidelbergCement at Buda, Texas, and the trading profit rose by 47.2% to US$56.9m. Cement shipments were 2.8% ahead at 1.66Mt (1.83Mst) and average selling prices improved by 14.1% to US$83.34/t (US$91.86/st). With the sole exception of Northern California, cement demand remains strong, and around a fifth of the cement sold had to be bought in, and price increases of between $10 and $12/st have been announced for January.
Turnover from aggregates and concrete rose by 9.9% to US$51.2m and the trading increased by 31.6% to US$8.8m. Ready-mixed concrete deliveries were virtually unchanged at 0.36Mm³ but the average price rose by 16.4% to US$53.39/m3. Aggregates shipments were declined by 13.2% to 2.51Mt though the average price improved by 17.3% to US$6.12/t.

Cécile Whiting, University of California, Irvine. In this lecture, presented on October 25, 2017, speaker Cécile Whiting of the University of California, Irvine, analyzes the ways in which artists depicted landscapes joining the national and the international. Whiting's research focuses on how American artists recast the terms of landscape painting as it had been practiced in the 1930s, broadening its scope from the local to the international and from the pastoral to the antipastoral. During World War II, maps that pictured troops advancing and retreating across national borders, along with photographs and newsreels documenting death and destruction in locations around the world (including the naval base of Pearl Harbor, the tropical rain forests of Guadalcanal, and the beaches of North Africa), prompted a change in painted representations of landscape in the United States. In particular, the lecture examines paintings by Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry, who adopted a panoramic mode, literally and metaphorically widening the horizontal scope of their paintings to encompass both the United States and Europe. As a counterpoint, Whiting discusses The Rock, the painting in which Peter Blume attempted to fit the globe into his landscape

Wyeth Lectures in American Art
Established in 2003, the Wyeth Lecture in American Art is a biennial event hosted by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, and supported by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art. Wyeth lecturers are chosen on the basis of their outstanding contributions to the study of and scholarship on American art.

In this lecture, presented on October 21, 2015, speaker Kirk Savage of the University of Pittsburgh discusses the massive physical displacement of bodies during the Civil War, the scale of which was unprecedented in U.S. history. Equally if not more troubling, the war caused a shocking metaphysical displacement of bodies from their names, creating legions of the "unknown" (bodies without names) and the "missing" (names without bodies). This lecture examines how art was invoked and deployed to come to terms with what Savage calls the "metadata crisis" of the war dead. At once material and immaterial, the art of the name provides a lens through which to plumb the transformations in personal and national identity wrought by the catastrophe of mass warfare.
In this lecture originally presented on November 20, 2013, speaker Jennifer L. Roberts of Harvard University explores one of the fundamental operations of printmaking—reversal—in order to trace its impact on American art across a spectrum of media. Behind every print lies a matrix (from the Latin for mother): a plate or block or stone or screen from which the print has been "pulled." And in most printing processes, the final print is a reversed version of the matrix. Although reversal may seem at first to be a simple geometrical switching operation, its material and philosophical complexity is profound; indeed, one may posit a kind of "negative intelligence" that informs any work of art that deploys reversal. To focus on reversal is to open up new ways of thinking about connections among the fine, decorative, and industrial arts in America, not least because so many prominent American artists from the 18th through the 20th century had backgrounds in print and printmaking. "Apprenticed as an engraver"; "trained as a lithographer"; "found initial success as a commercial artist": such are the typical preludes of American artists' biographies. A rigorous analysis of reversal offers an opportunity to expand the adventure of print from the preludes into the main narratives of the stories we tell about American art. The lecture addresses reversal in several contexts, from the nature prints of Joseph Breintnall in the 1730s to the handprints of Jasper Johns in the 1960s, with a core focus on the later 19th century in the work of James McNeill Whistler and the American trompe-l'oeil painters.
John Singleton Copley and Benjamin West were born in 1738; Charles Willson Peale, some two and one-half years later. Gilbert Stuart and John Trumbull, born in 1755 and 1756, respectively, belonged to the next generation. Their paths crossed and recrossed throughout their uniformly long lives. They formed friendships, influenced each other both through their art and personally, competed for clients, and eventually drifted apart, or, in the case of Copley and West, became bitter enemies. This lecture by Jules David Prown focuses on the artists' personal and professional encounters and interactions to tell the story of how they affected each other's lives and work.
Speaker Bryan J. Wolf of Stanford University here presents the fifth Wyeth Lecture in American Art. In the years between 1967 and 1970, Philip Guston scandalized the New York art world by renouncing abstraction and turning instead to figurative modes of painting characterized by cartoonish images that mixed Ku Klux Klan hoods, idioms of popular culture, and a private vocabulary of cigars, light bulbs, legs, shoes, and other assorted—and often hairy—body parts. Buried within these often outlandish works are three recurring concerns: questions of pilgrimage, revelation, and epiphany that link Guston to Hudson River School painting of the nineteenth century; a covert interest in writing as a cultural logic that informs his painting practices; and an obsessive focus on line that distinguishes his art from the drips and gestural forms of Jackson Pollock. Ultimately, each of these concerns points to what can be seen as the real focus of Guston's figurative work: the history and memory of the Holocaust. Recorded on October 19, 2011.
Recorded on November 4, 2009, this podcast presents the fourth Wyeth Lecture in American Art, a biennial event hosted by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts and supported by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art. Richard J. Powell focuses on Thomas Eakins (1844–1916) as uniquely empathetic among the many 19th-century artists who depicted African American performance and entertainment. Eakins' Negro Boy Dancing (1887; Metropolitan Museum of Art) shows a young banjo player, an elderly teacher, and an adolescent dancer, evoking the American rage for the form of musical theater known as minstrelsy. Eakins' watercolor, along with two oil-on-board studies at the National Gallery of Art, challenged the tendency of minstrelsy to employ racial ridicule and physical exaggeration. Instead, Powell argues, Eakins adhered to a painterly realism as well as his own brand of empathy and ethics.
Edward Hopper's paintings often show people and places in states of enigmatic isolation, loneliness, and contemplation. These are among the fabled Hopper themes-so fabled it would hardly seem possible to go beyond them to give another account of his art. Focusing on one Hopper painting, Ground Swell of 1939, this lecture tries to provide a thicker, denser, more surprising story of what it meant for Hopper to make a painting, especially in the year 1939. Produced in conjunction with the exhibition Edward Hopper.
Kathleen A. Foster of the Philadelphia Museum of Art delivers the second biennial Wyeth Lecture in American Art, originally presented on October 27, 2005. Codified in the late 18th century as a full-length, life-size portrait with impressive costume and attributes of rank and identity, the Grand Manner portrait evolved in the 19th century to suit the status-consciousness of a new, bourgeois era. Thomas Eakins (1844–1916), born and educated in Philadelphia and trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, painted about two hundred fifty finished portraits in his lifetime (apart from portrait-related figure subjects), most of which depict the sitter at life size but on a small canvas that shows less than half the figure. But from the very outset of his career, and with increasing frequency after 1889, he essayed full-length portraits in the Grand Manner. Between 1870 and 1909, when he all but ceased painting, Eakins produced 36 full-length portrait figures, either seated or standing. A closer look at the choice and treatment of these relatively few sitters teaches us much about Eakins, his methods, and his values. If, as Oscar Wilde remarked, every great portrait is a picture of the artist, this "grand" series reveals in the most ambitious format the identity of the artist, covertly buried in the elaborate perspective coordinates of each composition, or enacted in a private pantheon of colleagues—artists, scientists, and teachers—that embody his grandest aspirations and mirror his sense of self.

Nanomaterials and Nanophotonics Group
Fundamental of photonics on the nanometer scale (transfer, manipulation and detection
Generation of nanoparticles through laser ablation in liquids
Generation of nanoparticle colloids, bioconjugates, polymer composites and
The Nanomaterials and Nanophotonics Group works on generating nanoparticles and nanoparticle polymer composites by using pulsed laser ablation in liquids. In this way, nanoparticles can be produced from almost any material and with high purity. The main fields of application for laser-generated nanoparticles are medicine as well as energy and telecommunications technology.
Also, methods for the bioconjugation of nanoparticles for imaging processes (nanomarkers), or the directed delivery of substances (drug-delivery system) in biomedicine play an important role for the LZH researchers.
By investigating the fundamental processes during the generation of nanoparticles through laser-based ablation in liquids, and based on this, developing new approaches for this process, the group also covers the relevant fields of fundamental research.
Numerical and theoretical simulation of electromagnetic fields in nanostructured media, and the production and configuration of metallic and semiconductive nanoparticles for electrical and magnetic resonances, metamaterials and metasurfaces round off the profile of the Nanomaterials and Nanophotonics Group.

CISHAN, Taiwan — Taiwan's military rescued about 300 people Tuesday after a mudslide touched off by Typhoon Morakot consumed a village, but scores remained missing. A helicopter on a relief operation in the area crashed into a mountain with three crew aboard.
Chen Chung-hsien, an official in charge of the relief effort, said it was unclear if the two pilots and one technician had survived the crash near Wutai in Pingtung county, where the chopper was delivering food and trying to reach villagers.
Morakot, which triggered the worst flooding in Taiwan in 50 years, dumped as much as 80 inches (two meters) of rain at the weekend before moving on to China.
Taiwanese authorities put the confirmed death toll from Morakot at 50 and listed 58 people as missing, not including the residents missing in Shiao Lin, whose fate has been unclear since Sunday's mudslide. At least 400 people there are unaccounted for. Access to the area — in the southern reaches of the island's heavily foliated mountainous spine — is restricted to the military.
