Jennings started reporting for ABC at its New York news bureau. At the time, ABC lagged behind the more established news divisions of NBC and CBS, and the network was trying to attract younger viewers. On February 1, 1965, ABC plucked the fresh-faced Canadian from the field and placed him at the anchor desk of Peter Jennings With the News, then a 15-minute nightly newscast. He replaced Ron Cochran, a fellow Canadian. At 26, Jennings was, and remains, the youngest-ever U.S. network news anchor. "ABC was in bad shape at the time," Jennings said. "They were willing to try anything, and, to demonstrate the point, they tried me." | wikipedia |

The Model Penal Code, published by the American Law Institute, provides a standard for legal insanity that serves as a compromise between the strict M'Naghten Rule, the lenient Durham ruling, and the irresistible impulse test. Under the MPC standard, which represents the modern trend, a defendant is not responsible for criminal conduct "if at the time of such conduct as a result of mental disease or defect he lacks substantial capacity either to appreciate the criminality of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of the law." The test thus takes into account both the cognitive and volitional capacity of insanity. | wikipedia |

The Project & Artistic Director for the Opening Ceremony was David Zolkwer. Five-time Olympic champion Sir Steve Redgrave opened the two-and-a-quarter-hour opening ceremony by banging a large drum, which initiated a co-ordinated dance and fireworks act. The champion rower was joined on the stage by sporting stars including yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur, heptathlete Denise Lewis, long-distance runner Moses Kiptanui, swimmer Susie O'Neill and sprinter Donovan Bailey. The Grenadier Guards shared the arena with pop band S Club and Salford-born opera singer Russell Watson sang the Games' theme, "Faith of the Heart", while the arrival of HM The Queen was greeted with a flypast by the Red Arrows. England football captain David Beckham helped chaperone Queen's Baton final runner Kirsty Howard, assisting the terminally ill six-year-old to hand the baton to The Queen. A 4,000-strong cast took part in the £12 million spectacular, which in theme and tone consisted of a mix of "pomp and pop", combining the ceremonial aspects of the Games with a party-style atmosphere, based on Manchester's reputation as the party city of "Madchester". The ceremony was voiced by broadcaster Anthony Davis. | wikipedia |

How can Nunes so bluntly claim that there is nothing wrong here and how can he continue to serve on the House Intelligence Committee, that too as one of its chairman!? And how can top Republicans like Ryan and McConnell support him despite his conflicts of interest that are so transparent now? It is really bizarre and the only way to reconcile this inaction with the facts is that the GOP lives in an alternate reality. They have honed the "doublethink" that Orwell so masterfully wrote about in 1984. | nyt_comments |

HOW MANY SOULS Live unsheltered from the elements? How many shine so very brightly as Nakesha? Her life was influenced by the myths spread by big pharma that the anti-psychotic medication was the answer for those who suffered from severe, chronic, disabling mental illness. If they took their medication, the symptoms would disappear and they could lead normal lives. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Yes, the meds helped, but did not cause the symptoms to disappear. No special housing was planned along with the miracle cures. Many people who are homeless have lost their houses due to foreclosure. Or are released from prison and cannot tolerate living in the halfway houses, so, in a number of cases, they return to living on the streets whence they came. In fact, prisons house many mentally ill people who have not perpetrated violent crimes. But the owners of the prisons make a lot more money warehousing the mentally ill than if they were sent to a residential mental health program. There are some community-based housing arrangements. But not enough. Some who live on the streets suffer from severe, chronic PTSD after serving in the military, where they may sustain mental as well as physical injury. Subclinical concussions are the cause of mental problems in many cases. But the injuries cannot be imaged by brain scans, making positive diagnosis based on concrete changes in tissues impossible. | nyt_comments |

The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants, which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism. Belief in werewolves developed in parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerged in what is now Switzerland (especially the Valais and Vaud) in the early 15th century and spread throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century. | wikipedia |

The final leg of broadcast distribution is how the signal gets to the listener or viewer. It may come over the air as with a radio station or television station to an antenna and radio receiver, or may come through cable television or cable radio (or "wireless cable") via the station or directly from a network. The Internet may also bring either internet radio or streaming media television to the recipient, especially with multicasting allowing the signal and bandwidth to be shared. The term "broadcast network" is often used to distinguish networks that broadcast an over-the-air television signals that can be received using a tuner (television) inside a television set with a television antenna from so-called networks that are broadcast only via cable television (cablecast) or satellite television that uses a dish antenna.
