The case: On Sept. 5, 2013, a man identified by the Washington County Sheriff's Office as Joseph Anthony Spina, 48, walked into the emergency department at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, put a semiautomatic weapon to his head and demanded drugs. A triage nurse on duty told Spina she was not comfortable treating anyone with a gun to his head, so Spina then pointed the gun at his chest. The nurse then told him she was not comfortable treating anyone with a gun to his chest, so Spina then put the weapon down. Another employee grabbed the weapon while a nurse began treating Spina with an IV. Staff moved Spina to a room that locked from the outside while officers were on the way. No shots were fired and no one was injured. Spina was booked into the Washington County Jail on accusations of robbery, unlawful use of a weapon and menacing.

Born in 1897 in Brooklyn, New York, Dorothy Day was a suffragette, journalist, writer, pacifist and social activist. In 1933 she founded the Catholic Worker movement with Peter Maurin, a French Catholic social activist and theologian.
Initially they wrote articles for their newspaper, the ‘Catholic Worker’, but an encounter with a homeless girl made Dorothy Day wanted to take direct action. They opened their first house of hospitality with help from the local parish priest and his parishioners.
The very simple commandments laid down by Christ as an indication of the last judgement that is, whether we have taken care of the bodily and physical needs of those around us.
The reading of James Joyce's book Dubliners but also A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' I would say that had quite a profound effect on me.
It was seeing the Catholic Church in the United States as the church of the poor that she appreciated. A strong sense of social justice from an early age meant that Dorothy Day felt an affinity with those on the margins of American society in the early years of the 20th century.
They were all the latest people who were exploited, they were the Irish of New England who were called ‘Micks’, and who were despised.
I hope somebody comes along to show the way to deprive them of their holdings and stocks and bonds. Because I think the poorer we are, the closer we are to Christ.
Broadcast weekly from 1973 to 1975, 'This Day' is described in the RTÉ Guide of 7 December 1973, as "A magazine series on matters religious and otherwise, from up and down the country." The series was produced by Jeremy Johnston.
This episode of ‘This Day’ was broadcast on 9 December 1973. The presenter is Nodlaig McCarthy.
A suspected gunman was arrested in agricultural Northern California after two related shootings near San Francisco left at least seven people dead and one person with life-threatening injuries Monday, officials said.
Driving the news: The second mass shooting to hit California within three days resulted in four people being killed at a mushroom farm on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay and three others near a trucking facility less than a mile away, per San Mateo County Board of Supervisors president Dave Pine.
The injured victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment, officials said.
Children were present at the shooting scenes, according to officials.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Christina Corpus said at a news conference that the suspected shooter, Chunli Zhao, was found in his car in the parking lot of a sheriff's office substation in Half Moon Bay, a coastal city of some 12,000 people in San Mateo County.
The 66-year-old was taken into custody "without incident" and the weapon was located in his vehicle, she added.
State of play: Half Moon Bay Councilmember Debbie Ruddock told NBC Bay Area that the victims in the shootings that began about 2:20pm local time were farm workers.
The FBI is assisting the sheriff's office "by providing investigative and forensic resources," the agency said in a statement.
Investigators believe the suspect was working alone and that he was a worker at the agricultural nursery, Corpus said.
What we're watching: Corpus said officials were working to determine Zhao's connection to the victims and to both scenes in San Mateo County, which is known for producing vegetables, flowers and permits cannabis farming in some areas.
What they're saying: "We are sickened by today's tragedy in Half Moon Bay," Pine said in a statement. "We have not even had time to grieve for those lost in the terrible shooting in Monterey Park. Gun violence must stop."
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday night that President Biden had been briefed on the shooting and asked "federal law enforcement to provide any necessary assistance to the local authorities."
"Jill and I are praying for those killed and injured in the latest tragic shooting in Half Moon Bay, California," President Biden said in a statement Tuesday.
"For the second time in recent days, California communities are mourning the loss of loved ones in a senseless act of gun violence," Biden added. He reiterated his call for Congress to pass an assault weapons ban.
The big picture: The mass shooting follows the one in Monterey Park, California, on Saturday night that killed 11 people and injured nine others on the eve of Lunar New Year.
Hours after the San Mateo County shootings, police in Oakland, California, said one person was killed and seven others injured in a shooting.
Editor's note: This story has been updated with additional details. This story has also been corrected to reflect that Zhao is reportedly 66, not 67, as law enforcement initially said.Calangute is the most popular beach with thousands thronging it in both the peak and off-season. The waves rise high above as you wash away your city blues, though swimmer need to be a trifle cautious because of the sudden drop and the rising waves. Experienced swimmers will, however, revel in the seas here..
The beach is fringed with popular restaurants and hotels, including the Calangute Residency operated by GTDC. This long, seven-km sweep of sand located 15 kms from Panaji, is called the 'Queen of Beaches'.
All the travel agencies and tour operators have a base here from where bookings are done for most of the other beaches.
I wanted to ask you first before I go to electronics store.
Will a double “din”(?) radio fit in my taurus? I’ve seen the after martket face plates that house the regular rectangle radios and I just don’t like how it looks. I’m too used to a big Ford radio, also like my wife’s expedition.
Even if I modify it, will the double din work in a aftermarket face plate?
Also (two birds with one stone) I would like to put new speakers in my wife’s truck, the Expedition. I’ve heard good things about Boston Acoustics. Polk Audio seems to get good reviews. She would like to keep her radio (it has 6 CD changer) but wants new speakers. Should I run new wires all the way or is factory wires sufficient. We’re not trying to win sound awards, but I want her to have good sound. She doesn’t want SUBS. I have thought about a low wattage AMP for all the speakers. Any thoughts on that? I had a Silverado that had a small amp and for cheap equip. I was very surprised with the sounds!!
Tell me your opinions and WHY you feel that way about certain brands.
Thank you all and have a great day/holidays!!
I can’t help you with the Taurus question but replacing the speakers in the Expedition may make a significant difference if you don’t have a premium sound system in it already. The speakers manufacturers you mention are good ones along with Infinity also. They will all have their own sound and the best way to find the one you like best is to go listen to them and compare. Some may have response you like better than the others and you have to be the judge. A good place for help is Crutchfield. They can help you with what will fit and what won’t.
According to the Crutchfield site Double-Din radios will not fit in the Taurus.
By inputting the Year, Make, and model of car, Crutchfield will list the receivers and speaker that fit a particular car.
I don’t recommend a particular brand (I buy whatever is on sale), I’ve had BA and Polk speakers and have been happy with them. Anything Crutchfield sells will be an improvement over OEM speakers. Stick with the factory wiring, Crutchfield supplies speaker and receiver wiring adaptors that plug into the factory harnesses
