- "The cry of the Mandrake is fatal to anyone who hears it."
- —Hermione Granger[src]
A Mandrake, also known as Mandragora, is a plant which has a root that looks like a human (like a baby when the plant is young, but maturing as the plant grows). When matured, its cry can be fatal to any person who hears it.
Minister for Magic Venusia Crickerly died in 1912, following a freak Mandrake-related gardening accident.[1]
Mandrakes are part of the second-year Herbology curriculum at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the 1992-1993 school year, the school's growth of Mandrakes served the additional purpose of making a Restorative Draught to revive all those who had been Petrified during the Chamber of Secrets openings.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Professor Sprout, Neville Longbottom, and other students, lobbed Mandrakes over the Castle's battlements to attack the Death Eaters.
Description and traits
Whenever unearthed, the root screams. The scream of a mature Mandrake when it is unearthed will kill any person who hears it, but a young Mandrake's screams will usually only knock a person out for several hours. When Hogwarts students study Mandrakes in Herbology class, Pomona Sprout had the students wear earmuffs to protect their ears from the Mandrake's cries.
Mandrakes not only resemble humans, but also have similar behaviours to them. In the 1992-1993 school year, the Mandrakes, at one point of time, became moody and secretive, which indicated that they were reaching adolescence. Later on, they threw a loud party, which is comparable to humans when they are teenagers. Hagrid also mentioned the Mandrakes having acne. Mandrakes are fully matured when they start moving into each others pots. When matured, Mandrakes can be cut up to serve as a prime ingredient for the Mandrake Restorative Draught, which is used to cure those who have been Petrified.
A Mandrake's scream is very similar to (if not the same as) a banshee's scream, which is also fatal.
The Dugbog's favourite food is Mandrakes, which leads to Mandrake-growers finding nothing but a bloody mess when pulling their plants out. Flesh-Eating Slugs are known to favour Mandrakes.
Stewed Mandrake is used in potion-making, forming an essential part of most antidotes.[2] Their leaves are also used as well.[3]
The (European) Mandrake plant has been used since ancient times as a medicinal plant and has a tradition associated with magical activities. It is a member of the nightshade family. It contains hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and mandragorin. Medically, it has been used as a pain killer and a sedative. It was used in ancient times for surgery. An overdose, though, can be fatal.Because of its roots' shapes resembling humans, it has been used in magical operations, and as a supposed aphrodisiac.[citation needed] There are variations on the plant, Mandragora Offininarum being the most usual form, with the smaller Mandragora autumnalis having the same properties. Some folk traditions call the latter (M. autumnalis) variety as "Womandrake" in distinction to M. Officinarum as "Mandrake." A third variant, Mandragora turcomanica, is a nearly extinct and very rare variety, found mostly in Turkey and a few areas of Iran. M. turcomanica is distinguished from M. autumnalis by having larger fruit.[citation needed]
In the Western Hemisphere, another plant, Podophyllum petaltum, is called the American Mandrake. The American Mandrake is unrelated to the European variety, and has fewer medical applications. It, too, is poisonous.
Behind the scenes
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, mandrakes can be found throughout the castle and grounds and can be used to break glass objects. Also the player can make it sing as an extra (cheat code).
- In the Game Boy Color version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the "Mandrake Root" item does not resemble the babies seen in other versions, and in fact looks more like a leaf than a root, suggesting the item is merely misnamed.

Titans General Manager Ruston Webster says the decision to fire head coach Mike Munchak came after a weeklong discussion about the direction of the franchise.
Webster released a statement saying he, Munchak and Titans President and CEO Tommy Smith all sat down over the past week to examine what the right steps were for the future of the franchise, and that it was ultimately decided that Munchak would have no future with the franchise.
"First I want to thank Mike Munchak for his professionalism through this process and thank him for his years of dedication to the Titans/Oilers organization," Webster said. "He is first-class and I wish him and his family nothing but the best. I also want to praise Tommy Smith for his involvement during the weeklong process. He was thorough and thoughtful. The last week has been a difficult time trying to navigate through many issues to find the best resolution for this franchise moving forward. Tough choices were presented to all sides and the end result was to part ways and move forward without Mike."
There's no word on what those tough choices were, but it's been widely reported that Munchak was going to have to make significant changes to his coaching staff if he wanted to keep his job. His firing suggests that he declined to make the changes that Webster and Smith wanted him to make.
Webster said he will now begin looking for Munchak's replacement.
"We will immediately begin a search for a new head coach," Webster said. "I am confident that we will find a coach that can continue our growth as a team and lead us to sustained success."
Munchak went 9-7, 6-10 and 7-9 in his three seasons as head coach. The Titans have now missed the playoffs five consecutive years.

sub _capture_weakselfIt's quite a useful little method for creating a new CODE ref around either a given code ref, or a method on the object. This CODE ref captures a reference to the object, passing it as the first argument. This makes it useful for passing around elsewhere, perhaps as an event callback (as it happens, this method lives in IO::Async::Notifier). Because the object ref is stored weakly in this closure, it means the returned closure can safely be stored in the object itself without creating a cycle.
my $self = shift;
my ( $code ) = @_; # actually bare method names work too
weaken $self;
return sub { $self->$code( @_ ) };
It's sufficiently useful that I feel sure this technique must have a name, but so far I'm failing to find one. I manage to keep reading the name here as "capture weasel". This gives me an idea - perhaps it could be said this closure has been weaseled; short for wea(k)sel(f)ed.
my $weasled_code = $notifier->_capture_weakself( sub {What does anyone think here? Does this technique have a name already? If not; does this seem suitable? I find it unlikely this name already exists somewhere else in CompSci (FOLDOC doesn't have a use in this sense), so it would be a good unique name...
my $self = shift;
my ( $x, $y ) = @_;
} );
$weaseled_code->( 123, 456 );

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team earned their first Northeast Conference victory of the season on Friday afternoon. Sophomore Allison Kelley delivered an unassisted goal in the 81st minute of play to give the Blue Devils a 1-0 win over Wagner. The win improves Central's record to 4-4-5 on the season and 1-2-3 in NEC play.
With ten minutes left in the match, the Blue Devils' corner kick went long past the goal, where Kelley took the loose ball and dribbled back towards the middle of the field. After faking her defender she launched a shot from twenty yards out that curved downward into the upper right corner of the net.
The score by Kelley proved to be the game winner as Wagner was unable to capitalize on a late corner kick opportunity.
Sophomore goalkeeper Nikola Deiter posted four saves in the match, including a pair to protect the lead in the final minutes. She improves to 4-4-5 in the net on the season. On the afternoon, the Blue Devils played solid defense and limited Wagner's ability to get quality shots.
The game was delayed for nearly 30 minutes because of lightning in the area of Arute Field. The delay occurred in the 20th minute of play.
The Blue Devils will return to action on Sunday against Long Island at Willow Brook Park. This year's seniors will be honored on the field before the match. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

If playing ultimate Frisbee or soccer in the mud is part of your winter ritual, then you'll need to head somewhere besides Wallingford Playfield this year. The Parks Department recently closed to field to allow turf rebuilding. And this year they mean it! They have erected fencing to render the field largely unusable. I guess they finally realized that Wallingford's winter sports enthusiasts, dog owners and restless youth were not going to stay off the field simply because a sign politely asked them to.
Margaret spoke with Seattle Parks and Rec crew chief, Colleen Hackett, who reports that the field has been leveled and seeded, and top soil was added to what they had placed on the ground last year. They're also hoping to aerate the field, but there's a pump that needs to be fixed first. "Probably February will be our next chance to put seed down and get it established in March," adds Hackett.
But Hackett's main concern is that she hopes neighbors will keep the dogs off the field. She acknowledged that the field is heavily used for soccer, ultimate frisbee, and Hamilton's programs, but off-leash use is the one action that has the largest impact and is against park use.
So, we contacted COLA to see what it would take to establish a new off leash park, and Patrick Jones, who serves as Chairman for COLA told us that, "Once there is support for an off leash area, it helps to have a petition with signatures and then contact us on who wants to be the lead contact and then we can at least see if there is support other than a few people. It takes years, but we can try to cut that down when there is a community that really stands behind the steps."
The closest off leash dog area to Wallingford is in at Lower Woodland Park, which is only a mile away, though it can be a pretty muddy place for pooches to play. But Jones tells us, "We have a new steward at Lower Woodland and we hope to be supporting that off leash area to resolve some of its muddy issues."

Recovery Act delivers $83 million to jump start construction on Presidio Parkway´s signature tunnel
Projects construction contract lower than expected; Savings will help pay for other projects
San Francisco– Caltrans today announced construction has begun on the Presidio Parkway Projects second major contract - a $116 million effort to build the Battery Tunnel and a temporary bypass. This contract is partially funded by President Obamas American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), along with $33 million in local funding. This project is starting sooner than expected thanks to Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggers efforts to expedite Recovery Act funding.
"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obama's team to ensure Recovery Act dollars are pumped into California quickly and responsibly to stimulate the economy and in this instance - invest in the future of California's transportation infrastructure," said Governor Schwarzenegger.
R&L Brosamer, Incorporated of Walnut Creek, was awarded the construction contract with a low bid 41 percent under Caltrans original estimate. The savings in stimulus funds will help pay for additional highway projects.
"We are delivering on our promise to get economic recovery money out on the street as quickly as possible and put people to work," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. "The Presidio Parkway is a vital infrastructure investment in the Bay Area that will assure seismic and traffic safety while creating much-needed jobs."
The Presidio Parkway Project has been very successful in helping small businesses. The first contract achieved a remarkable 82.04 percent small business participation rate. The second contract for utility relocation has achieved a 62.03 percent small business participation rate which equates to $9,674,026 being paid directly to small businesses. Contract number four exceeded the Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (UDBE) amount with more than $3.7 million going to UDBE firms.
"As a Bay Area company, we are truly pleased be part of this critical safety project and to build the first tunnel of the future Presidio Parkway," said William Faoro, Project Manager, R&L Brosamer.
The key feature of the second major construction contract is the Battery Tunnel, one of two short tunnels that will enhance the connection between the Presidio and Crissy Field. The top of the tunnel will ultimately provide a connection between the upper Presidio and Crissy Field area with new pathways and pedestrian and bicycle trails. In addition, a temporary bypass will be built that will allow traffic to flow unimpeded during construction. For more information about the Presidio Parkway Project, visit www.presidioparkway.org.
In May, the California Transportation Commission approved the Presidio Parkway Project as a public-private partnership, a historic first under legislation signed in 2009 by Governor Schwarzenegger that allows Caltrans and regional transportation agencies to enter into such partnerships.
Under Governor Schwarzeneggers leadership, California has obligated nearly $2.5 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 931 highway, local streets, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act visit:http://recovery.ca.gov/

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Shane Ryan (Havertown, Pa.) has been named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week for the first time in his career. The sophomore had an excellent showing in the two-day meet vs. Texas and Virginia last weekend and helped the Nittany Lions to their first win over the Cavaliers since the 1996-97 season.
Ryan was a part of four first place finishes, with two coming in individual events and two as part of relays against two top-25 teams in Texas and Virginia. The Havertown native was responsible for four of Penn State's seven event wins over the two day meet.
The sophomore's two individual wins came in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Ryan recorded a time of 20.38 in the 50 and followed it up with a mark of 47.87 in the 100 to earn two victories. Ryan was a member of the 400 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay teams that claimed wins, finishing in 3:15.13 and 2:57.86 respectively. The sophomore also notched two second place finishes in the 100 freestyle and as a member of the 200 freestyle relay team.
The Big Ten Swimmer of the Week honor is the first of Ryan's career. The swimmer garnered back-to-back Big Ten Freshman Swimmer of the Week accolades during the beginning of the 2012-13 season. Ryan is the second Nittany Lion to win the award this season, joining senior John Hauser (Pottsville, Pa.).
Ryan and the Blue and White travel to Austin, Texas for their first invite of the season from Dec. 5-7 for the Texas Invitational.

Legendary singer Barry Manilow opened up about his sexuality in an exclusive interview with People Magazine, announcing to the world he is gay and married to longtime manager Garry Kief.
The 73-year-old explained why he's guarded his sexuality so fiercely over the decades.
"I thought I would be disappointing (fans) if they knew I was gay. So I never did anything," Manilow told People. "When they found out that Garry and I were together, they were so happy. The reaction was so beautiful — strangers commenting, 'Great for you!' I'm just so grateful for it."
While the announcement may have been met with a lack of surprise among many fans, that didn't stop several on social media from noting Manilow's courage in making the announcement.
Manilow married Kief in a ceremony at their 53-acre Palm Springs estate in April 2014 following a 36-year romance.

Brian Carrigan's clever circuit board business card has Brian's contact info printed on the PCB and his resume and the project's source code on the flash chip.
A business card should represent a person's expertise. My expertise is in creating unique circuit boards, so to celebrate this I wanted to create a USB thumb drive circuit that contains my resume and contact information. This was also a great way to experience coding for USB applications using the Cortex M series of microcontrollers. As a side note, I have done other projects with Cortex M including a simple serial relay and a USB keyboard emulator, but this is the first one that is exciting enough to write about.
While I wouldn't want to use the final product as my main USB stick, it does exactly what it was meant to do- hold and transfer a small amount of data. The whopping 1MB of storage (maybe I should've just used a floppy drive?) allows for enough room to store my resume, a link to my site, as well as the source code for the whole project.

Silent Auction & Dinner - Michigan (2011)
|Each family had the opportunity to thank those in attendance.
MOMS Club® holds Bids for KIDS silent auction and dinner
by: Glenda Charlene R.
St. Joseph, Michigan
The MOMS Club® of Stevensville/South St. Joseph, Michigan held a fundraiser in March, and designated FIRST as a beneficiary of a portion of the proceeds! Two other foundations were also chosen to receive funds. Seven-year old Logan, affected with CIE, has been actively involved in the club with his family since he was two.
|Logan, center, with the other 2 children who were also featured during the evening
The fundraiser, which cost $40 per ticket for entry, consisted of an Italian dinner, held at an upscale local restaurant, Santaniello's, and a silent auction. Local businesses and MOMS Club members were asked if they would donate items and services to be put up for bidding at the auction. Countless people came through with unbelievable generosity. Our family was deeply touched by the outpouring of support from our community, by the countless prizes that were offered, and by the many people who worked so hard to make the evening wonderful.
Especially touching was the generosity and goodness of everyday people, some of whom wanted to remain anonymous in their giving. A man showed up the night of the event and donated $80, saying he had seen the flyer advertising the evening in a local bakery and just wanted to support the cause. There are numerous examples of similar generosity.
Our family, with our four young children, went door to door to sell tickets in upscale neighborhoods (in the freezing cold February weather!) But we could not have imagined what a wonderful experience it would be for us. We met some of the kindest people on earth! They invited our family into their warm homes to hear us explain the fundraiser and FIRST, and to learn about ichthyosis. Our family had such a great experience educating people together as a family. Some people even wrote checks to the MOMS Club knowing they could not attend the event.
|Looking over the items available in the silent auction.
The night of the auction, several couples we had met by knocking on their doors were kind enough to purchase multiple prizes. One couple bought a huge gift basket of toys then presented it to our family! It was so wonderful for our children, especially Logan, to feel that kind of support from people whom we did not even know before. Our kids continue to enjoy playing with the toys they 'won' at bids for KIDS! The experience as a whole will be a memory we will cherish.

April 20, 2000
Santa Barbara, Calif. -
On Sunday, the UC Santa Barbara baseball team lost a heart-breaking and emotional one-run game in the series finale against Cal Poly. On Thursday, the Gauchos were asked to bounce back against 16th-ranked Long Beach State, the first-place team in the Big West Conference, and bounce back they did.
UCSB used a complete game pitching performance by senior Gabe Neboyia and a 15-hit, three home run attack, to defeat the 49ers 12-6 at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium in Santa Barbara.
At the outset, things didn't look good for the Gauchos. Long Beach State jumped on Neboyia for a pair of runs in the top of the first inning. Shortstop Bobby Crosby lined a single to left field to open the game and following a ground ball out, left fielder Jeff Jones belted a two-run home run to left center field, giving the 49ers an early 2-0 lead. After another single, Neboyia got out of the inning and he would not allow another earned run until the top of the ninth.
UCSB responded in their half of the first inning. With two outs, second baseman Chad Peshke and third baseman Dave Molidor lined back-to-back singles to left field. On Molidor's base hit, Peshke moved to third base. Shortstop Jeff Bannon then smashed a triple to left center field, knotting the score at 2-2.
The 49ers reclaimed the lead in the top of the second. Third baseman Abel Orozco walked to lead things off and center fielder Robert Womack followed with a single to left. After a sacrifice bunt by second baseman A.J. LaBarbera, Crosby struck out looking for the second out. With runners on second and third, right fielder Chuck Lopez hit a bouncer to Peshke, but the second baseman couldn't handle it and the go-ahead run crossed the plate.
Once again, the Gauchos responded in their half of the inning. For the second straight inning, UCSB waited until there were two outs to make its mark. Left fielder Jeff Carter singled to left field and first baseman Mike Kolbach walked. Peshke then atoned for his error in the top half of the inning by crushing his first home run of the season, a three-run blast to left field, giving the Gauchos a 5-3 lead that they would never relinquish.
UCSB tacked on another run in the fourth on Peshke's third hit of the day, an RBI single to right that scored Carter who had been hit by a pitch and then moved to second on a single by Kolbach. The run made the score 6-3 Gauchos. Long Beach narrowed the margin to 6-4 with an unearned run in the top of the fifth.
Neither team scored again until the bottom the eighth when Santa Barbara put the game away with six runs. Catcher Jimmy Walker homered to left field to open the inning. One out later, Carter collected his second hit of the game, a single to right field. After a fly out to center field by Kolbach, Peshke got his fourth hit of the game, a line single to center field. Molidor then belted the Gauchos third home run of the game, a three-run shot to right field, giving his team a 10-4 lead. They added to more runs on a single by Bannon, a walk to designated hitter Tyler Von Schell and a two-run double by center fielder R.J. Smith.
The 49ers added a pair of runs in the top of the ninth, but it was too late and the Gauchos wound up with their biggest victory of the season, 12-6.
All but one UCSB starter collected at least one hit. Peshke led the way by going 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and three runs scored. Molidor, the Big West's fourth leading hitter, was 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and a pair of run scored. Carter, Bannon and Smith each added a pair of hits. In addition to his two hits, Smith, the center fielder, made the defensive play of the game in the fourth inning when he saved at least one run with an acrobatic, leaping catch of a fly ball on the track in deep left center field.
With the win, Neboyia is now 4-5 on the season. He pitched his second complete game of the campaign, allowing ten hits and four earned runs. The senior from Bishop, California struck out only two batters, including first baseman Ryan Clark looking to end the game, and he walked only a pair. Long Beach State starter Jeff Leuenberger went five innings and was saddled with his second loss of the season, he is now 4-2.
The Gauchos improve to 19-18 overall on the season, 9-7 in the Big West. The 49ers, who entered the day one-half game ahead of second place Cal State Fullerton, is now 25-14 overall and 13-4 in league play. The teams will play the second game of three game series tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at Santa Barbara's Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.

The Tomahawk and its controversies might make headlines, but as the U.S. Navy re-arms for high-tech warfare, the SM-6 is the missile to watch.The U.S. Navy in late January 2019 confirmed the designation of its newest cruise missile, in the process clarifying its long-term plan for arming its growing fleet of warships.The plan heavily leans on one missile, in particular. It's the SM-6, an anti-aircraft weapon that quickly is evolving to perform almost every role the Navy assigns to a missile.(This first appeared earlier in the year.)The Navy dubbed the newest version of the venerable Tomahawk cruise missile the "Block V" model, Jane's reported. There are two separate variants of the Block V missile, one with an anti-ship warhead and another with a warhead the Navy optimized for striking targets on land.Raytheon's Tomahawk has been the subject of controversy in Washington, D.C. In order to save money the Obama administration wanted to pause production of the long-range missile, which since the 1980s has been the Navy's main weapon for striking land targets from the sea.Congress overruled the Obama administration and continued buying Tomahawks for roughly $1 million apiece, adding potentially hundreds of the missiles to the thousands the fleet already possesses.

It was to eventually employ at least 1,500 people and help bring development to a rural area near Hyderabad in southern India. Two sources familiar with J&J's operations in India and one state government official told Reuters production at the plant, at Penjerla in Telangana state, never began because of a slowing in the growth in demand for the products. One of them said that demand didn't rise as expected because of two shock policy moves by Prime Minister Narendra Modi: a late 2016 ban on then circulating high-value currency notes, and the nationwide introduction of a goods and services tax (GST) in 2017.
Governments worldwide are alarmed at the tension between Washington and Tehran, concerned about the risk of escalation or military miscalculation and frustrated at a lack of communication about U.S. goals.

Defying skeptics, Tesla during the September quarter of 2018 actually managed to turn a profit of $312 million thanks to strong demand for the mass market Model 3. Tesla's profits for the quarter were far from staggering, but it nonetheless instilled faith that the electric automaker was on a path towards financial viability.Just a few months later, the narrative surrounding Tesla has drastically shifted. When the company last month released its earnings report for the March quarter, it posted a quarterly loss of $702 million. That said, it's worth noting that production, deliveries, and demand for Tesla vehicles have all grown at an impressive clip over the past many months. As an illustrative example, Tesla during Q1 of 2019 manufactured 77,100 vehicles, a figure which well more than double the amount it manufactured during the same quarter in 2018.Nonetheless, Tesla continues to burn through money at an alarming rate. So much so, in fact, that Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently sent an email (obtained via Electrek) wherein the Tesla CEO explained that the company -- which has approximately $2.2 billion in cash on hand -- may not have enough cash to last beyond a period of 10 months."This is a lot of money," Musk said, "but actually only gives us about 10 months at the Q1 burn rate to achieve breakeven!"Consequently, Musk explained that the company will be taking a much closer look at employee expenses as it pertains to "parts, salary, travel expenses, and rent."Musk conceded that the soon to be implemented cost-cutting measures are "hardcore," adding that it's the "only way for Tesla to become financially sustainable and succeed in our goal of helping make the world environmentally sustainable."This isn't the first time Musk has rung the alarm bells about drastically cutting costs, but it remains to be seen what the company can do within a 10-month timeframe.

The video said that "along with others, the Jews faced a policy of systematic persecution which culminated in the Final Solution".

Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to threaten Iran and harangue Republican congressman Justin Amash for suggesting he had engaged in "impeachable conduct" while also criticising Fox News for "wasting airtime" by covering his 2020 Democratic challengers."If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!" the president wrote in response to heated rhetoric from Tehran and the firing of a rocket close to the US embassy in Iraq as tensions over sanctions and the US military presence in the Gulf continue.Mr Trump was annoyed by a Twitter thread written by Representative Amash in response to his reading of the Mueller report and Fox for broadcasting a town hall event with Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg, rare examples of him turning on his allies.Mr Buttigieg has mounted a surprisingly strong candidacy, but would still need to beat Joe Biden if he hopes to take Mr Trump on during the 2020 election.Meanwhile in the 2020 election, Mr Biden saw some troubling polls in Iowa, where Bernie Sanders tied up with him in the state.Elizabeth Warren followed behind those two men, but posted the best favourability ratings in the poll that was released.Please allow a moment for our liveblog to load

The company's Model 1 handgun was purchased privately by soldiers on both sides of the U.S. Civil War, while the heavier Schofield revolver was carried by postwar U.S. cavalrymen. America's prolific firearms industry means that choosing the top five manufacturers is no easy task. While boutique handgun builders may produce some very fine pieces, quantity has a quality all its own, and several companies ship hundreds of thousands of handguns a year. Like the auto industry, some of the best handguns come from foreign manufacturers. Here are the five best handgun manufacturers.(This article first appeared in 2017 and is being republished due to reader interest).GlockGaston Glock's initial attempt to build a handgun for the Austrian military has exploded into an international empire, all the more amazing considering that it was built solely on handguns. From the original Glock 17, the company now offers twenty-six handguns on the U.S. market in calibers from .380 Auto to .45 G.A.P. The company's simple emphasis on lightweight, slim-profile, "pointable" pistols was a recipe for success, impressing first-time shooters with their ease of use and longtime shooters with their reliability and accuracy. For all of the variety, Glock's handguns are strikingly similar to one another, demonstrating that Glock won't fix what isn't broken.

There is no middle ground between admirers and adversaries of the man -- now running for a second term -- who helped his father run a railway station tea stall before launching his career in nationalist politics.

Parcell Press is an independent publisher and distributor of printed matter. This primarily includes zines but also independently-published books and comics. Parcell Press developed in December 2003 by me, Taylor, as an umbrella project for my own continued zine and publishing pursuits. I really wanted to create a project through which I could promote zines and get them into new hands, educate people about zines, help the zine community sustain itself, and challenge zinesters and readers to consider zines a more valid artform. So, through Parcell Press I sell zines retail to readers and wholesale to retailers in addition to publishing some zines with the Parcell Press imprint. The name was derived from my first house in Fredericksburg, which was on Parcell Street. Don't mistake it for 'parcel' or we'll both feel awkward.
The goals of Parcell Press were formed in an attempt to provide a central avenue through which zinesters and zine readers can communicate, sell and buy publications, and have access to resources and work that may or may not be within their own niche in the world of underground publishing. Additionally, this project was launched with zinesters in mind: to provide a cheap, easy, and accessible catalog through which their zines can reach a wider audience.
Parcell Press is run by me, Taylor, with the occassional help and support of friends. I've been involved with the zine community for at least ten years and don't intend to retire. I like slow-goings and good stories, jokes and productivity. I'm educated in the softest of the humanities (English literature) but I have an affinity for all sorts of cultural studies and often fancy myself a freehand participant observer. My current obsession is places. I'm fond of correspondence and would love to hear from you. I would also love it if you read my zine, which you can buy in the Parcell Press catalog.
I grew up in Virginia Beach, sun-soaked, wet, and busy. I started Parcell Press in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where I lived for four enjoying the comfort and closeness of a small town, working out of the closet in the basement bedroom of a tall house downtown. I then ran Parcell Press full-time out of a little house in Old West Durham, North Carolina for about six months before missing Virginia so much that I returned to Richmond, where I now operate Parcell Press out of a weird carriage-house garage loft in the beautiful Fan District. Come say hi!
what else?
My hope and aspiration is for Parcell Press to become a sustainable endeavor for my various projects and to influence, support, and reflect the efforts of a strong community of creative, progressive, talented voices.

Because he's such a trustworthy person
At this point most hardcore gamers know not to trust Peter Molyneux. He makes grand promises that his games will push the envelope or change your life in some way, and in a few cases, outright lies. Then he has the balls to retroactively state that you shouldn't have bought his last game, and that his next game will be amazing.
We know the song and dance he performs and the brand of snake-oil he peddles. But Bryan Henderson, winner of the 2013 Curosity prize, didn't even know who Molyneux was. Now, he feels our collective pain, as he still hasn't actually received said prize.
Much like our follow-up with a Nintendo Power contest winner, Eurogamer got together with Bryan recently to get his side of the story on this "life-changing" Curiosity win. According to him, he's been emailing Molyneux's developer 22Cans "every month" to see what's going on, and they haven't delivered yet.
Basically, he got to visit the studio, got a signed poster and t-shirt, and then hasn't been in real contact with them since. Bryan is being a great sport about it though, stating that he "wouldn't be bothered if I'm missing out on something. Really, I wouldn't," and that he's moving on with his life. It's a shame what happened to him, as he apparently hasn't even gotten an apology until Molyneux was goaded into one by Eurogamer.
Evidently since Godus is still in development and not doing as well as he predicted (this is a game that went over its Kickstarter goal by the way), Molyneux can't make any promises right now.
Except, he already made a promise to Bryan. He already got his press. But most of us knew better.
The God who Peter Molyneux forgot [Eurogamer]

(DETROIT) — It was 10:50 p.m. on Sunday when a Detroit bus driver pulled up to one of his usual pick-up locations. As he opened the door, the person waiting at the bus stop threw bleach on his face and then ran away. The driver was rushed to the hospital and the suspect has not been caught. The bus was not equipped with a camera.
This brutal attack was the latest in a slew of attacks on bus drivers in Detroit that have, in recent weeks, included beatings, stabbings and even urine thrown at a driver.
In October, Detroit bus drivers staged a sick-out to protest dangerous working conditions, effectively shutting down the public bus system.
But the attacks aren't happening just in Detroit. They are occurring across the country and in Canada with an increasing frequency and brutality, according to the largest labor union representing transit and allied workers in the U.S. and Canada, the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU).
"We've had many, many vicious assaults," ATU International President Larry Hanley told ABC News on Tuesday. "It is an ongoing and growing problem and the attacks appear to be getting more vicious."
Nationwide statistics on the attacks are hard to come by but Hanley estimates they are "absolutely in the hundreds, probably in the thousands."
New York City saw a 30 percent increase in attacks in 2012 and attacks in Philadelphia more than doubled from 2010 to 2011, according to the ATU.
"We've had this everywhere. It's universal," Hanley said. "Everywhere you go and in an alarming way it's been growing that bus drivers have been assaulted. As the economy got worse, attacks skyrocketed."
Hanley believes that many of the attacks are motivated by factors including the economy, transit services being cut, increases in fares and growing frustration in cities about lack of mobility.
"The economic downturn has hurt a great many people and there's a lot of anger out there," he said. "People don't run down to Wall Street and beat up brokers. They get on buses and beat up the drivers."
"People just driven over the edge in that moment and the bus driver is the most localized form or representative of government," Hanley said. "They come into your neighborhood defenseless, in uniform representing authority and then they have to tell you to pay your fare."
Bus drivers "live in the community," he said. "They work in the community. They see more people every day than any other public servant, but they get in these situations where they take abuse. There's irony there."
He also attributed the attacks to passengers coming from "all different life experiences," ranging from being thrown out of the home after a fight with a spouse to drug addictions.
Actions are being taken both locally and nationally to try to improve conditions for drivers.
In Detroit, there used to be a police unit whose purpose was to patrol buses, but the city's economic struggles and dramatic cuts eliminated the unit.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig recently implemented several initiatives to protect drivers. The main initiative has two components — uniformed officers who board the buses and ride for several blocks with a police car trailing behind and an investigative unit that puts undercover police officers on the buses.
"We're doing the best we can with the shortfall of manpower," Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody told ABC News. "We allocate as much manpower as we can feasibly afford to put on these buses."
Woody said there are no definite or clear-cut motives for the attacks, but pointed out that bus drivers often have to deal with problems on their own and unarmed.
"Any situation that flares up on the bus, these drivers have to handle on their own and it leaves them open for retaliation," he said. "You know exactly when and where they're' going to be so it would be very easy to retaliate against them. These types of crimes are crimes of opportunity, crimes of randomness that have no real recordable value to them."
ATU's Hanley said "absolutely not enough" is currently being done in the U.S. and in Canada to protect drivers, but efforts are underway.
They are fighting to put cameras in all buses, to increase police presence, install protective shields and implement more safety training for drivers.
Though the shields can be put in buses after manufacturing, Hanley said most buses are not currently engineered for them so a driver's already-cramped work stations can become claustrophobic and have ventilation problems.
Long-term solutions include new buses pre-engineered for the shields and doors on the driver's side.
"You wouldn't want to buy a car with no driver's door," Hanley said. "Think about yourself being cramped in the work station that drivers have with your back to two walls, a steering wheel in front of you and someone standing over you beating you."
"[There's] one way out and it's through the person beating your brains in," he said. "At least if the drivers could escape, we would have people with less serious injuries."

Looks delicious but you are a waaaay better person than I because I wouldn't even attempt a recipe that labor intensive. I did once, for my mother, and bitched about it the entire time.
So props to you!

Two Honolulu men have filed new clergy sex abuse lawsuits. They accuse a former Damien Catholic teacher of sexual abuse. He has allegedly molested at least 12 kids in five states and a former Damien principal has also been named as predator. A new Hawaii state law lets victims expose abusers & protect kids.
Holding signs and photos of themselves when they were abused, abuse victims and their supporters will disclose a new child sex abuse and cover-up lawsuit against the Honolulu Catholic diocese and a convicted predator cleric. The suit charges that a Catholic brother:
— Sexually abused two Damien Memorial School students,
— Was transferred from school to school because of abuse allegations,
— Was removed from Damien for abuse allegations, but parents and students were never informed.
They will also:
— Discuss a recent child sex abuse accusation against a former Damien principal,
— Urge victims and witnesses to report to abuse to law enforcement, not church officials, and
— Show how a landmark new Hawaii law is helping to warn parents about predators.

Two to three victims of child sex abuse and their supporters who are members of a support group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAPNetwork.org), including a California woman who is the group's Western Regional Director and a former priest who is now one of the nation's leading experts on the Catholic clergy sex abuse crisis.
This week, two former Damien Memorial students filed a new child sex abuse and cover-up lawsuit against the Honolulu Catholic Diocese and Br. Robert Brouillette, an Irish Christian Brother and former teacher at the school.
Both men, who are still Oahu residents, charge that Brouillette sexually abused them while both were young students at the school. One victim was abused in 1984 and the other was abused in 1986. They were able to come forward and expose Brouillette because of a landmark new Hawaii law that allows victims of child sexual abuse to come forward and seek justice in the courts, no matter when the abuse occurred. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/opinion/more-time-for-justice.html?_r=0.
Separate from the lawsuit, the Irish Christian Brothers, a New York-based Catholic religious order that runs Damien, declared bankruptcy in 2011 to avoid costly and public child sex abuse civil trials. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/16904070/group-says-child-predators-worked-at-catholic-school. Both victims also filed claims against Brouillette in the bankruptcy. According to attorneys, sixteen victims from Damien have come forward as a result.
Brouillette has been accused of sexual abuse by at least a dozen victims in IL, CA, HI, AZ and MO. In 2000, he was convicted of possession of child pornography after being arrested in an internet child molestation sting. His last known address was in Missouri. http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news/1999_12_04_Presecky_CatholicBrother.htm
This is just the latest in a string of scandals at Damien Memorial School. Last week, a former Damien principal was forced to step down from his job in Seattle due to allegations of abuse. Br. Karl Walczak, Damien principal from 1987-1999, was accused of abuse while he was a teacher at an Irish Christian Brother school in Chicago. The alleged victim filed a claim in July, but Irish Christian Brother and Archdiocese officials did not disclose the allegations until Halloween. SNAP and parents were outraged at the delay in disclosure.
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/ODea-High-School-principal-resigns-amid-sex-abuse-allegations-176692501.html?tab=video&c=y. A lawsuit against former Damien chaplain Fr. Gerald Funcheon was filed in May. http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/561462/Lawsuit-claims-abuse-by-former-Honolulu-priest.html?nav=5031.
SNAP is urging all victims at the school to come forward and get help while they have civil rights under Hawaii's new window legislation. The two-year law, sponsored by Senator Maile Shimabukuro, expires in 2014.
The victims are represented by Attorneys Mike Reck (714) 742-6593 and Mark Gallagher (808) 779-5012. Copies of the lawsuit will be available at the event.

Oftentimes, the bounty of the season is, well, bountiful and more plentiful than can be used immediately. In my garden, the mint, parsley, and cilantro are thriving, and while I love using these fresh herbs in my cooking, I still have way more than I can use fresh. Enter our flashback for this week: a solar herb dryer by renowned green architect Michelle Kaufmann from the pages of CRAFT Volume 09, our Crafting Green issue. Made with reused materials including a wooden picture frame, wire mesh, and 4 old wine corks, the dryer is not only functional but lovely to look at as well. Herbs grown and dried at home are by far superior in flavor to their store-bought counterparts, and they make great gifts when combined with crafty packaging.
Check out the full tutorial shared here in our Digital Edition. You can also still pick up a back issue of Volume 09 from the Maker Shed for much more green crafting goodness.

Offense Sparks Baseball to Game 1 Win, 10-6
BATON ROUGE, La.- The LSU offense exploded for three home runs and starter Kevin Gausman recorded career-high 12 strikeouts as the Tigers defeated No. 3 Arkansas by a score of 10-6 on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
No. 12 LSU moved to 20-6 on the year and 4-3 in SEC play while Arkansas dropped to 22-4 and 5-2 in the conference. The two teams will return to action tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. Ryan Eades (4-1) will take the mound for the Tigers.
The Tigers produced 17 hits Friday, as leftfielder Raph Rhymes, catcher Ty Ross and third baseman Tyler Hanover each delivered their first long balls of the season.
The last time LSU hit three home runs in a contest was May 21, 2010 against Mississippi State.
"I know everyone will focus on the three homers, but I thought we had several great at-bats that produced two-out RBIs," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "We really swung the bats well against the best pitching staff in the SEC.
"Kevin Gausman really battled all night long and gave us a tremendous effort. Once we took the lead in the fourth inning, he raised his game to another level."
Rhymes, the SEC's leading hitter, totaled four RBI. Second baseman JaCoby Jones registered a career-best four hits in the leadoff spot.
Gausman overcame a rough third inning in which he allowed five runs, but he did not allow a hit after the third. The sophomore's ending line read 6.2 innings, five hits, five runs (five earned), two walks and a career-best 12 strikeouts.

All Times Central
Arkansas starter DJ Baxendale (5-1) lasted 2.1 innings, allowing eight hits and five runs (five earned) with one walk and four strikeouts. Reliever Cade Lynch (0-1) was charged with the loss after entering the game in the bottom of the third. Lynch pitched 2.1 innings, allowing four runs (four earned) on five hits with one strikeout.
LSU put two runs on the board in the bottom of the second. Shortstop Austin Nola led off the inning with a single just over the shortstop's glove. Catcher Ty Ross executed a perfect hit-and-run with a single to right and Nola reached third easily after running on the pitch.
Centerfielder Jared Foster smashed a two-out grounder through the left side of the infield, scoring Nola and moving Ross to second. Jones plated Ross on a single back up the middle and moved Foster to second.
Arkansas took the 5-2 lead in the top of the third. Gausman struck out Jacob Morris and Tim Carver, but Carver reached first on a wild pitch. Bo Bigham punched a single under Hanover's glove at third and Carver moved to second. Dominic Ficociello slashed a high pop up to center that Jones fielded, allowing Carver to advance to third.
Matt Reynolds laced a double down the left field line, which scored both runners. Bates walked to put two runners on. Bleeker lined a triple to right field to score Reynolds and Bates, and Bleeker came home on a wild pitch.
LSU knotted the game in the bottom of the third. Katz led off the inning with a single through the hole between third and short. Rhymes stepped up and blasted a towering home run to the left field bleachers.
After Nola struck out, Ross crushed a solo shot to tie the game at 5-5. Lynch replaced Baxendale following Ross's homer. Lynch retired Hanover and Didier to limit the damage.
The Tigers took the lead in the bottom of the fourth. Dozar ripped a two-out double to right field before Katz plated Dozar on a single to left.
LSU increased the lead to 10-5 in the bottom of the fifth. Hanover led off the inning with his first home run since May 21, 2010 versus Mississippi State.
Jones lined a two-out single to right. Dozar nicked a single that neither the second baseman nor shortstop could make a play on. The hit chased Lynch, and new pitcher Colby Suggs plunked Katz to load the bases.
Rhymes delivered a two-RBI single to left, which scored Jones and Dozar and moved Katz to second. Nola slashed a single up the middle and Katz raced home from second to widen the gap.
Arkansas cut into the lead in the top of the seventh. After Gausman exited the game, Kevin Berry came in and allowed a single to Bigham. Ficociello plated Bigham on a double to center that a diving Foster attempted to corral. Chris Cotton entered the game for LSU and recorded the final out to end the threat.
The Razorbacks almost cut into the LSU lead in the eighth. Cotton allowed a leadoff single to Bleeker, who moved to second on a wild pitch and to third on a ground out. Nick Rumbelow entered the game and fanned two to preserve the lead.
Kurt McCune pitched a scoreless ninth to maintain the final margin.

Proyecto LIFE + NATURALEZA (LIFE 09/NAT/ES/00534)
Posidonia oceanica belongs to Posidoniaceae family, with just one gender (Posidonia). It is a superior plant that develops a system of roots, and this is the reason why it needs a substrate of sand or mud to take root. It has flowers and, hence, fruits and seeds. It blooms in autumn and its fruits usually appear on our beaches in May or June, usually known as "sea olives". After sprouting, it produces a subterranean stem, called rhizome, from which roots emerge; and it also produces some short top stems from which emerge the long and narrow leaves. These leaves have little more than a centimeter wide and a length that can vary from some centimeters to a meter and a half. The rhizomes can constitute very long chains that can exceed many hundreds of meters long, as it occurs, for example, in some well-preserved areas of the Balearic Islands. It is through these rhizomes that the plant can also reproduce asexually can also reproduce as a plant by means of its rhizomes. Posidonia oceanica also needs a lot of light to live, which is the reason why it cannot be found beyond 100 meters deep
Posidonia seagrasses have many important environmental functions: they facilitate the deposition of suspended particles as well as the transparency of water; stabilize marine sediments, attenuate hydrodynamism and coastal erosion; produce great quantities of oxygen and organic matter; and provide the critical habitat for reproduction, growth, nursery, feeding and shelter of many species.
Posidonia oceanica has a circum-Mediterranean distribution. The population distribution in Andalusia ismore concentrated on the eastern area of this region, from Almeria, where there are continuous populations, to Malaga, where populations form smal sites in some coastal areas.
Threats and protection status
Among its main threats are untreated sewage dump; sand extraction from seabeds; beach regeneration near Posidonia meadows; bottom trawling; yacht anchorage; competition with invasive species such as the Caulerpa taxifolia; and climate change.
At a European level, Posidonia Oceanica was included in Annex II of the Bern Convention as species of flora strictly protected. The Habitat Directive of the European Union (92/42 CEE of 21/05/1992) and its subsequent adaptation to technical and scientific progress through Directive 97/62/CE of 27/08/1997, include Posidonia Oceanica meadows as a priority conservation habitat in Annex 1, habitat 1120 within the European Union.
Project LIFE 09/NAT/ES/00534 has the following objectives:
1. Increase the knowledge and the conservation of the marine biodiversity of Andalusia, including the implementation of protection measures to Posidonia meadows.
2. Identify the current conservation status of Posidonia seagrasses in Andalusia, and develop a set of indicators for its evaluation.
3. Emphasize the value of Posidonia seagrasses among the different productive sectors.
4. Identify, assess and mitigate the main threats to the ecosystem and its associated habitats (pollution, anchorage, uncontrolled trawling and illegal traditional fishing, and expansion of exotic invasive species).
5. Design of a Management Plan for these ecosystems in Andalusia.
6. Long-term monitoring; create Network of Volunteers
7. Involve to different social sectors to take parton the active management of those ecosystems.
IUCN-Med work
As a member of this project, the Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation is involved in the following activities:
• Organization of a Conference on Posidonia meadows and other marine phanerogam species in the Spanish territory. The objective of this Symposium is to bring together scientists, managers and other members to analyse the current knowledge of this ecosystem, particularly in the Andalusian coast, from an ecological, biological and economical perspective. This symposium will include conferences, seminars, round tables and workshops.
• Creation of a Technical Advisory Committee for Marine Phanerogams. The activities envisaged in this project require the creation of a Technical Advisory Committee of specialists in Posidonia meadows. This Committee will provide advice on activities, information and management.
• Organization of the Festival "Seas of Posidonia", in towns along the coast region of Andalusia (Granada, Malaga and Almeria), to promote the interest and the knowledge of this habitat, as well as to create sustainable tourism alternatives and cultural activities. The first edition of the Festival took place in Nerja (Malaga) in June 2011.
• Evaluation of the different PA with seagrasses in the Andalusian coast. The declaration of protected areas, though not the only one, is an essential step to protect marine phanerogam seagrasses.
The expected results after completion of the project are the following:
• Detailed cartography of the ecosystem to improve its management.
• Assessment on the current status of Posidonia and its evolution.
• An 80% decrease of threats caused by anchorage.
• A 100% decrease of threats caused by bottom trawling in 2 "Sites of Community Importance" (SCI)
• Passive monitoring, in order to identify breakings of environmental rules
• Development of a management plan for these ecosystems
• Extensive monitoring of seagrasses
• Increase social participation
• Increase awareness on the environmental and economic values of Posidonia meadows.
Conservation of Posidonia Oceanica on the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia is a project led by the regional ministry of Environment of Andalusia (Junta de Andalucía) , together with other seven beneficiary partners: the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Conservación, Información y Estudios sobre Cetáceos (CIRCE), Andalusian Federation of Fishermen Guilds, Andalusian Federation of Fishing Associations, the Agency of Agricultural and Fishing Management of Andalusia (AGAPA in Spanish), and the Agency of Environment and Water of Andalusia (AMA in Spanish).
This project is financed by the Programme Life+ Nature Area of the EU.
LIFE+ POSIDONIA ANDALUSIA focuses its actions in Posidonia Oceanica existing in ten "Sites of Community Interest" in the Mediterranean (Seabeds of Estepona Bay, El Saladillo-Punta de Baños, Calahonda, Cliffs of Maro Cerro Gordo, Seabeds of Punta Entinas-Sabinar, Reefs of Roquetas de Mar, Cabo de Gata Nijar, Isle of San Andrés, and Seabeds of Eastern Almería).
The total budget of the project is 3.562.125 €, with a LIFE contribution of 2.474.902 €, that is the 69,48% of the total eligible. It will begin on 01/01/2011. Its ending is planned on 31/12/2013.

Letter to Congress alerting them to the new education funding charts available on the NEA Web site
April 17, 2007
Dear Representative:
As Congress finalizes the Congressional Budget Resolution and prepares to begin work on an FY08 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill, we are pleased to inform you of the availability of new data and analyses on education funding. Specifically, NEA now has information comparing the Administration's FY08 budget request for specific education programs to FY07 funding and program authorization levels.
The Administration's budget request would have cut overall education funding by $1.5 billion (-2.6%). We are pleased that both the House and Senate Budget Resolutions rejected these proposed cuts.
Data currently posted on the NEA Web site highlights funding shortfalls for key programs, including programs under the No Child Left Behind Act and special education, on a state and congressional district basis. We hope you will find this information useful as you consider funding for the next fiscal year.

To the Editor:
As a longtime business owner on Rockaway Avenue in Valley Stream, I would like to thank everyone who was involved in putting together the Valley Stream Community Fest, most notably David Sabatino, owner of Sip This. The day was a huge success, and I would like David to know that all of his hard work and efforts did not go unnoticed. Hopefully this will be an annual event that the Valley Stream community will be able to enjoy for years to come.
We would also like to thank everyone involved with our autism fundraiser that evening, most notably the event organizer, John Halleran, as well as our guest hosts, Mayor Ed Fare and Judge Bob Bogle. Because of their efforts as well as many others, we were able to raise almost $3,000 for two separate charities. All in all, Sept. 29 was a great day of fun, charity and community for all!

(Reuters) - Prosecutors selected a grand jury on Monday that will investigate whether more crimes were committed when a 16-year-old girl was raped last year by high school football players in Steubenville, Ohio, authorities said.
Quarterback Trent Mays, 17 and wide receiver Ma'lik Richmond, 16, were convicted last month of raping a classmate after a party last August. Prosecutors said the two members of the Steubenville football team assaulted the victim as she lay naked on a basement floor, too drunk to move or speak.
On Monday, nine jurors and five alternatives were selected from 150 Jefferson County residents, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's spokesman Dan Tierney said. The jury will begin to hear testimony on April 30 in proceedings that are closed to the public.
The Steubenville rape case went viral on social media when photos and a video allegedly taken at the alcohol-fueled party were posted. The rape case in the Ohio steel town has drawn national attention and computer hacking group Anonymous organized protests accusing the town of covering up the involvement of more players to protect the football team.
The victim testified that she did not remember the assault, but went to the police after seeing players joking about a rape on social media.
Investigators interviewed 27 people at the party, but 16 others refused to cooperate. Evidence introduced at trial suggested that Steubenville Head Coach Reno Saccoccia, an Ohio Hall of Fame coach, also knew that an incident had occurred.
Three players who said they witnessed the rape were given immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying against Mays and Richmond, who could remain in a juvenile detention center until they turn 21 and will have to register as sex offenders.
Immediately after last month's conviction, DeWine called for a grand jury investigation into whether more people should be charged for either failing to prevent or failing to report the rape.
Citing concerns about a cover-up, the Supreme Court of Ohio appointed a retired judge from a nearby county, Patricia Ann Cosgrove, to oversee the grand jury.
