The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a fully committed partner in Los Angeles River revitalization efforts, including the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan. We are participating in several multi-purpose studies and demonstration projects within the watershed--starting at the confluence of Bell and Arroyo Calabasas Creeks in the San Fernando Valley and moving downstream to the heart of Los Angeles. We are helping create open space, wildlife habitat and an interconnected trail system.
One correction for the record. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has always considered the Los Angeles River to be a jurisdictional waterway, fully protected by the Clean Water Act. That status was not affected by the Supreme Court’s Rapanos decision. We fully support EPA’s recent decision categorizing the entire River as a "Traditional Navigable Water." EPA had authority to make a comprehensive evaluation of the watershed, while the Corps reviewed a four mile segment relevant to a specific permit application. During the two years between EPA’s decision to evaluate the navigable waterway status of the L.A. River and its ruling, 96% of the Corps’ determinations in the watershed found the section under review had full CWA protection!

A man known as “Prisoner X” has committed suicide in an Israeli jail, in a strange spy drama twist you might see on an episode of Burn Notice. Ben Zygier, 34-year-old Australian immigrant was reportedly recruited by Israel's Mossad spy agency and charged with grave crimes before taking his own life while incarcerated. Israeli criminal attorney Avigdor Feldman – who wouldn’t elaborate about the charges – says he met with Zygier the day before his death and that there were ongoing negotiations for a plea deal in the case.
“I met with a balanced person, given the tragic outcome, who was rationally weighing his legal options,” Feldman told Israel’s Channel 10 television. “His interrogators told him he could expect lengthy jail time and be ostracized from his family and the Jewish community,” Feldman said, adding “There was no heart string they did not pull, and I suppose that ultimately brought about the tragic end.”
Reporting in Israel on the case has been subject to strict government censorship, however this week the government broke its silence after the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that Zygier was being held in isolation over his suspected misconduct while spying for the Mossad. In partially lifting their gag order on the case, an Israeli court said a dual-nationality citizen had been imprisoned secretly under a false name for “security reasons” and was found dead in his cell in what was eventually ruled a suicide.
The hush-hush nature of the case has raised questions in both Australia and Israel about the circumstances behind Zygier’s 2010 detention and subsequent death and have led some to question Mossad’s suspected use of dual Australian-Israeli nationals in their espionage work. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Zygier was one of at least three Australian-Israeli citizens suspected of working with the Mossad intelligence agency.
Israel’s Mossad, America’s CIA, Britain’s MI-6, and the old Russian KGB are perhaps the most well known spy agencies and frequently appear in spy thriller novels, movies and television shows. Nations utilize these services in an attempt to find out what adversaries – and even friends – are up to as they try to learn each other’s secrets. While the nature of Ben Zygier’s spy work isn’t known, he reportedly traveled to Iran, Syria and Lebanon for Mossad. Pray for the agency’s efforts as they attempt to keep Israel safe from foreign enemies and pray for the family Ben Zygier leaves behind.

For over 35 years, Rotary and its members have been committed to fighting to eradicate polio across the world.
The Purple4Polio activities suggested by Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland are to raise funds and awareness for End Polio Now, Rotary’s global campaign to eradicate polio across the world.
When a child receives their life-saving polio drops on mass polio immunisation days, their little finger is painted with a purple dye so it is clear they have received their polio vaccine.
Rotary’s pledge for a polio free world was made in 1985 when there were 125 polio endemic countries and hundreds of new cases every single day. In the past few years, only two countries have reported cases of polio caused by the wild poliovirus but no child anywhere is safe until every child has been fully vaccinated.
Thanks to Rotary, and the support of our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, there are now just two countries still classed as endemic: Pakistan and Afghanistan.
To finish the job over 2 billion doses of oral polio vaccine still have to be administered, to more than 400 million children in over 50 countries, each and every year. We have to have zero cases of polio and zero positive environmental samples before the world can finally be certified polio free.

I swear when I am committed to go to bed at a decent time, EVERYONE wants to talk to me. I stayed up till 3am....I think? Or maybe it was 2, which isn't normally so bad if you're not getting up at 7:30AM. My parents, brother, grandparents, and my uncle Craig did a road trip up to Fergus Falls. It's three hours, which isn't so bad, but I forgot my headphones. It's been ages since I've been a passenger on a long trip with my family. I love sitting in the car with my music, looking out the window and thinking about whatever is on mind. Sleep was a back up plan that actually paid off.
We saw my aunt Joan whom I miss dearly, then my great great grandma Botts, went to an old neighbor's of ours at the cabin we used to own, my parents had to leave after that, but myself, my uncle and grandparents drove over to cousin and then home. To which somehow I got car sick and spent the rest of the night feeling like crap.
These two photos don't say much, but they are of my great great grandma's hands and propellers that were on my grandparent's old lawn at the cabin. I miss Fergus Falls, I miss the lake, I miss the family up here, I miss the distance from the world, I miss the relaxing freedom that came with the cabin. It was in our family for fifty years. I can't blame my grandparents for selling it. They're getting older and none of my family members can afford it, neither can they. One day I will get that cabin back, even if I have to wait.
LABOURER HANGS HIMSELF.
A labourer named John O'Connor, a married man about 50 years of age, committed suicide at Newmarket on Saturday afternoon. He was found dead suspended front the roof of an out house at the rear of premises occupied by his brother-in-law, Mr Edward Deary, about 6 p.m. The body was promptly cut down, but it was evident that life had been extinct for some considerable time. Deceased had been separated from his wife for six or seven years, but about a month ago he visited her at Mr Deary's residence and had some conversation with her. Deceased also leaves four children, one being the issue of his marriage with his present wife, and three by a former wife.
THE INQUEST.
An inquest was conducted this morning at Gleeson's Hotel by Mr T. Gresham (City Coroner) on the body of John O'Connor. Sergeant Hanson conducted the case for the police.
James Hunter deposed that he last saw the deceased alive some months ago. On Saturday last about dusk he was at Mr Deary's house. Shortly after he arrived Deary went out to chop some wood, and witness soon afterwards joined him. Hunter went into the outhouse, and in the darkness he saw what he imagined was a bundle of rags. He never suspected that it was a man, and as he was going out he passed some remark about there being a sack of rags in the outhouse to Deary who made the reply, "That's no bundle of rags." The next thing witness remembered was seeing the body lying on the ground, some few feet from the shed. Deary cut the body down and brought it out. Hunter, who had had a few drinks, and whose memory was not very clear, did not touch the body, and he had no idea who the deceased was until the arrival of Constable Mackie, who had been summoned by Deary. In reply to a question by Sergeant Hanson, witness said he had not been drinking that afternoon with Deary, but he had several drinks with other people.
Dr. Savage, who had inspected the body, was of the opinion that the deceased was between 45 and 50 years of age. With the exception of the mark made by the rope round the neck, there were no other marks of violence. From the depth of the rope mark he judged that the body had been hanging some time. Death was due to suffocation, and from the absence of any signs of a struggle, he thought that the injuries were self-inflicted.
At this juncture the foreman intimated that the jury were desirous of viewing the scene of the fatality, the hearing of the evidence being deferred until their return from Newmarket.
The hearing of the evidence in the inquest on John O'Connor was continued shortly after midday.
Edward Deary identified the body as that of his brother-in-law. The first time he saw O'Connor on Saturday last was when he saw his body on the grass. He was not aware previously that O'Connor had been on any part of his premises that day. About 6.30 p.m. he admitted Hunter into the house. Shortly before seven o'clock witness went out to cut some wood. Hunter passed him and went into the outhouse, where he remained for a minute or two. Looking round a little while after witness saw Hunter pushing some dark object with his foot, and he (Deary) called out. "Hullo, Jim. what's that?"' Hunter replied that it was a sack of rags. Not knowing what such a thing would be there, he went to look, and saw what at first he took to be a drunken man. He had no recollection of making the remark, "That's no bundle of rags," but it was possible that he did. As soon as he got close he recognised O'Connor. After cutting the rope from O'Connor's neck witness satisfied himself that the body was quite cold and life was extinct. He and Hunter then went and reported the matter to Constable Mackle. He always thought the deceased was a level-headed man, though for some time he had been drinking pretty freely. In reply to a question from a juryman as to who cut the body down and took it outside, witness said he could not say. The first he saw of the body was when it was lying on the glass outside the outhouse.
Constable Mackie gave evidence that he was summoned about seven p.m. by Hunter and Deary to New-street, where he found the deceased lying outside the outhouse. The constable gave corroborative evidence on other essential points.
Addressing the jury the coroner said the case was not an ordinary one. The evidence of the doctor showed that the cause of death was suffocation, and in the opinion of the doctor the hanging was self-indicted. It was clear that one of the two men who were in the yard took the body out to the position in which it was found by the police, but which it was they could not establish. As to the man's mental condition, there was no evidence to show that the deceased's mind was unbalanced.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, returning the decision that the deceased's death was due to strangulation by hanging, self-inflicted, whilst temporarily mentally deranged.

From the log of the U.S. Steam Frigate Colorado, 18 January 1865: at 3:30 committed to the deep the body of Josiah Nason ...
Josiah, 23 years old, enlisted in the U.S. Navy in late September 1864 and became a member of the crew of the USS Frigate Colorado after its overhaul at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. He voluntarily enlisted as a substitute for Elijah Blaisdell Jr of York. For this act of volunteering, he received a bounty from the Town of York of $550.
After leaving Portsmouth harbor in early October, the Colorado headed south to join the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron off the coast of North Carolina. This ship, along with 59 others, was eventually stationed off the coast of North Carolina for what would become known as the Second Battle of Fort Fisher.
Fort Fisher, an earthwork fort, lay at the tip of a peninsula that is separated from the mainland by the Cape Fear River and was designed to protect the port city of Wilmington, North Carolina. At the time of the two Battles of Fort Fisher, December, 1864, and January, 1865, Wilmington was the last port accessible to the Confederate Navy and blockade runners and thus was crucial to supplying General Lee’s armies.
One aspect of the plan to capture Fort Fisher on 15 January, was to send ashore a 2,200+ man contingent of well armed Marines and poorly armed Navy personnel to attack the sea facing wall of the fort. Josiah was one of the Navy men who went ashore. While the Marines were armed with rifles so as to provide cover for the Navy men, they were sent in to attack the part of the fort known as the Northeast Bastion armed only with pistols and cutlasses.
“As the Union tars and leathernecks rush headlong to the palisades below the Northeast Bastion, Lamb's Confederates unleash a devastating fire at close range. Armed only with revolvers and cutlasses, and under a murderous fire from the fort, the naval contingent tries in vain to breach the rebel defenses.....The attackers are mauled severely, and forced back up the beach in a perfect rout.”
(Battle Chronology, North Carolina Historic Sites: www.nchistoricsites.org/fisher/ )
Why would you have seamen, whose normal battle stations are onboard a ship, acting as a poorly armed infantry unit, charging a portion of a fort said to be 32 feet / 9.8 meters high? As could be expected, the navy suffered heavy casualties, one of whom was Josiah. The men were knowingly sacrificed so as to allow a strong Union Army force to attack at the fort’s western end and successfully overwhelm the Confederate forces.
Josiah had been severely wounded by a minnie ball that shattered his lower jaw. He was somehow transferred back to the Colorado where he was treated by the medical personnel with “stimulants” and an opiate. Even though he must have lost a lot of blood, his condition must have been somewhat stable, since it was noted in the ship’s medical records, date unknown, that he
was “rational and can swallow beef tea and gruel” and that he had “Slept well last night”.
He, however, did not survive.
Even though the official death certificate indicates that he died on 19 January, the ship’s logbook, showing Josiah’s burial at sea, was written on 18 January.

SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN RIPON HOUSE OF CORRECTION
A man calling himself Thomas Sword, who is committed for trial at the ensuing Quarter Sessions for the Liberty of Ripon, attempted to cut his throat, a few days ago, in the following manner. It appears an iron spoon was missing from the number delivered to the prisoners at their meals, which the fellow had contrived to hide in his apparel, and in the course of the night had broken off the shank, and with the aid of a little scouring stone used in cleaning the floor, had managed to get it tolerably sharp, and commenced operations, obtaining a little blood, with which he besmeared his hands and clothes, so as to make the best appearance of his claret. This attempt failing, (as it will appear it was his intention it should,) his next plan was to tear a new blanket, with which he made a rope, fixing it to the iron grating of the window; but sly Thomas reserved three chances for escape, but not one for death - viz. the window not above four feet high being too low to suspend him , the frail rope being too weak to bear him; and at last the noose was made above a foot wide, secured by a fast knot, that it could not draw upon his neck. In this state, Mr. Stubbs, the governor found him in the morning, when he unlocked his night cell, but this did not in the least create that fear and alarm which this Sword of Subtlety intended; for all his plans were seen in their proper light, and received the treatment they so well deserved, by having him placed in double irons, he of course pretending to be mad. He enjoyed himself in that way till the surgeon arrived, who immediately bled him profusely, and finally caused his head to be shaved and well blistered, when Thomas, for fear of repetition, declares himself quite well, and laughs at the joke he has played off, but declares that this Sword shall not again be drawn to effect it’s own conquest, but submit patiently to the Sword of Justice.
RIPON SESSIONS AT RIPON COURT HOUSE
Thomas Sword, was charged with stealing a pair of half-boots on Sunday 10th July last, from Jane Smith, servant to Miss Benson, of Ripon, and also with stealing a great coat from Langthorne, near Bedale, the property of Mr. Anthony Stebbing, on 6th July last. Evidence was produced to bring the robbery clearly home to the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict of GULITY on both charges, Sentenced to be transported for seven years.

Boston Community Capital has a mission of building healthy communities through socially responsible investment. Personally committed to economic justice and equality, and to health equality for women and families throughout Boston and the Commonwealth, she has served as CEO for 16 years, during which time Boston Community Capital has invested in child care facilities serving nearly 10,000 children and health care facilities providing care to over 66,000 patients.
Rik Poot (1924 Vilvoorde - 2006 Jette ) is a socially committed Flemish artist. In the early days he worked more abstract. Later he used a more figurative form of art, within classical modernism. Essential in the design of Rik Poot are the hollow spaces between the bronze parts from which his statues are constructed. Through creating those openings, his monumental sculptures get at the same time something light and a certain fragility.
Title of the work: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Death, War, Revolution and Hunger.
This work can be admired in Bruges near the wonderfull Gruuthuse museum.
Rik Poot (1924 Vilvoorde - 2006 Jette ) is een sociaal sterk geëngageerde Vlaamse kunstenaar. In de beginperiode werkte hij meer abstract. Later hanteerde hij een meer figuratieve kunstvorm, binnen het klassiek modernisme. Essentieel in de vormentaal van Rik Poot zijn de holle ruimten tussen de bronzen delen waaruit zijn beelden zijn opgebouwd. Door die openingen te creëren krijgen zijn monumentale beelden tegelijk iets lichts en een zekere fragiliteit. Zijn werken kregen daarmee een krachtig en expressief ritme mee.
De vier ruiters van de Apocalyps zijn: Dood, Oorlog, Revolutie en Honger.
Deze werken kunnen bewonderd worden op het pleintje achter het Gruuthusemuseum.
Rik Poot (1924 Vilvoorde - 2006 Jette) est un artiste flamand très engagé socialement. Au début, il travaillait de manière plus abstraite. Plus tard, il a utilisé une forme d'art plus figurative, dans le modernisme classique. Les espaces creux entre les pièces de bronze à partir desquelles ses sculptures sont construites, sont essentiels dans le langage de conception de Rik Poot. En créant ces ouvertures, ses sculptures monumentales acquièrent quelque chose de léger et une certaine fragilité. Cela a donné à ses œuvres un rythme puissant et expressif.
Titre de l’oeuvre: Les Quatres Cavaliers de l’Apocalypse. Mort, Guerre, Révolution et Faim
Ces œuvres peuvent être admirées sur la place derrière le musée Gruuthuse à Bruges.

Faigy Mayer committed suicide 20 July 2015 by falling twenty stories to her death from a Fifth Avenue rooftop in NoMad.

As a committed womble, I abhor all forms of littering and abandoned signs are a form of littering, spoiling our environment and increasing contractor charges by not reusing signs as they are meant to be reused.

This is a particularly egregious example of 'debris' left behind. The proper application of an end of job check list would ensure that this kind of thing is cleared up and not just left indefinitely by the roadside. The area code is for Brigg, Lincolnshire so goodness only knows who the contractors were.
