Missoulian: Heat
advisory issued for western Montana
“Impacts/Timing: The affects of the prolonged heat wave are likely
to become challenging for those sensitive to hot temperatures or who have strenuous activities
planned on Friday and Saturday. These
impacts may be further enhanced by persistent cloud cover producing much warmer
than normal overnight temperatures
which will not provide nearly the typical amount of relief.”
Hobby
Lobby settles $3 million civil suit for falsely labeling Cuneiform Tablets
“In October 2010, an expert on cultural property law retained by Hobby Lobby warned the company that the acquisition of cultural property likely from Iraq, including cuneiform tablets and cylinder seals, carries a risk that such objects may have been looted from archaeological sites in Iraq. The expert also advised Hobby Lobby to review its collection of antiquities for any objects of Iraqi origin and to verify that their country of origin was properly declared at the time of importation into the United States. The expert warned Hobby Lobby that an improper declaration of country of origin for cultural property could lead to seizure and forfeiture of the artifacts by CBP.”
