Christopher Wray , 'low key ' FBI director in eye of the storm Washington ( AFP ) - Christopher Wray , President Donald Trump 's hand-picked FBI director , told senators during his confirmation hearing not to be put off by his soft-spoken manner . `` No one should mistake my low-key demeanor as a lack of resolve , '' Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee . `` Anybody who thinks that I would be pulling punches as the FBI director sure does n't know me very well . '' Just six months into the job , the 50-year-old Wray is having that resolve tested as he squares off with a president who has already fired one head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation . Ignoring Wray 's objections , the White House approved the release on Friday of a memo which it claimed reveals abuse at the FBI and Justice Department in connection with surveillance of a member of Trump 's 2016 presidential campaign who had ties to Russia . According to CNN , the White House was worried Wray may quit to protest the release of the memo drafted under the authority of Devin Nunes , the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee . On the contrary , the FBI director sent an internal message to the bureau 's 30,000 employees on Friday that contained no suggestion he would step down . `` Let me be clear : I stand fully committed to our mission , '' Wray said in the message obtained by AFP . `` I stand by our shared determination to do our work independently and by the book . `` Talk is cheap ; the work you do is what will endure , '' he said . `` And know that I consider it an incredible privilege to work beside you -- and that I am determined to defend your integrity and professionalism every day . '' Wray has mostly flown under the radar since replacing James Comey at the head of the FBI , which has been the target of Trump 's ire since taking office . Wray was overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate in August , three months after Trump sacked Comey amid an FBI probe into whether members of the president 's campaign had colluded with Russia help him get elected . That investigation , which Trump has denounced as a `` witch hunt , '' is now in the hands of special counsel Robert Mueller , himself a former FBI director . Democratic lawmakers are claiming the memo is part of a broader campaign aimed at discrediting the Mueller probe and protecting Trump . - 'Strict independence ' - Wray put himself in the eye of the memo firestorm when the FBI issued an unusual public statement this week expressing concerns about the document . `` We have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo 's accuracy , '' the FBI said . While the statement was unsigned , it was clear that it would not have been issued without a green light from the new FBI director . Wray was confirmed by a 92-5 vote in the Senate , winning bipartisan backing after telling lawmakers he would resign rather than bow to political interference . `` There is only one right way to do this job , and that is with strict independence , '' the former Department of Justice official said during his confirmation hearing . `` You ca n't do a job like this without being prepared to either quit or be fired at a moment 's notice '' if `` you 're asked to do something or confronted with something that is either illegal , unconstitutional or even morally repugnant , '' Wray said . Born on December 17 , 1967 in New York , Christopher Asher Wray attended the Phillips Academy boarding school before going on to Yale University . He was executive editor of the Yale Law Journal and obtained a law degree from the university in 1992 . He joined the Justice Department in 1998 and in 2003 became assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division , where he worked under then deputy attorney general Comey . Wray mostly oversaw fraud investigations , including that of Enron , the Texas energy firm that imploded with billions of dollars of losses . In 2005 , Wray resigned and went into private practice as a partner at the law firm King & Spalding . Wray represented major companies in litigation but also worked for Trump ally Chris Christie in the so-called `` Bridgegate '' political scandal in New Jersey . Wray 's pledge to act independently is being tested now , but his standoff with the White House is not his first encounter with political pressure . In 2004 , Wray 's then-boss Comey was made acting attorney general due to the illness of attorney general John Ashcroft . When aides to president George W. Bush tried to take advantage of Ashcroft 's illness to push through an extension of a controversial warrantless eavesdropping program , Wray , Comey and then-FBI director Mueller put their jobs on the line and opposed the move .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON OTTAWA – Ahead of today ’ s historic apology , the federal government has tabled a bill to expunge “ unjust ” convictions from the criminal records of Canadians who were charged for having consensual same sex relationships . The bill provides for the permanent destruction of records of convictions involving consensual sexual activity with same-sex partners . For deceased people , the family can apply for the expungement . Under Bill C-66 applicants will need to provide evidence that their conviction was regarding consensual activity related to charges of gross indecency , buggery , and anal intercourse . The proposed legislation also includes the expungement of records of offences under the National Defence Act . The bill , “ An Act to establish a procedure for expunging certain historically unjust convictions , ” makes no mention of compensation or redress . Once the bill passes , people will be able to apply , free of charge , through the Parole Board of Canada . On Tuesday afternoon , Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to make an historic apology in the House of Commons to lesbian , gay , bisexual , transgender , queer and two-spirited people Canadians who were persecuted by the government . Between the 1950s and 1990s , the Canadian government interrogated and fired or demoted thousands of members of the military , RCMP , and public service for their sexual orientation . Before the law changed in 1969 , thousands of Canadians were convicted for same-sex acts , which were illegal . Sources say the federal government will be offering up to $ 145 million in compensation for former federal workers and military members who had their careers destroyed as part of what ’ s been come to known as the “ gay purge. ” The money will be part of a class-action lawsuit settlement . ' A very dark era for Canada' Martine Roy was 20 when she was brought in to an interrogation room , asked questions that were completely irrelevant to her skills as a military member , and made to admit she is lesbian . `` I told them that I was confused and I was really sorry that I made a mistake , I won ’ t do it again , '' Roy recalled in an interview on CTV ’ s Your Morning on Tuesday . `` I was sure that I was safe by being honest . '' She was dishonorably discharged from her job , as a medical assistant with the Canadian Armed Forces , shortly after starting her career . Since then Roy says she has been waiting 33 years to receive a formal apology from the federal government , and today she and thousands of others are set to receive exactly that . `` It is a historic moment… This really changed the course of my life and I think today it will change it again . I think it will help to ease the pain of what happened , '' Roy said . A number of victims of the institutional discrimination , as well as stakeholders and top military officials , are expected to be in attendance for the formal apology . `` It will , I think , put at ease something that we did that was a very dark era for Canada and I think this will help to change things , '' Roy said . Chief of Defence Staff apologizes In a message sent to all members of the Canadian Armed Forces Tuesday , Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Jonathan Vance apologized for the Canadian military ’ s past actions towards members of the LGBTQ community . “ We spied on , interrogated , and criminally pursued our own people . We pitted friends against each other to protect their own careers . We stripped away their dignity before we ruined their livelihood , ” Vance said in the message . Connected to the federal apology , the rainbow-hued pride flag is being flown in from the Armouries and at the Department of National Defence headquarters in Ottawa . “ I am deeply sorry to all of you… You showed us honour and dedication , and we showed you the door . No apology or compensation can ever change the shameful way we instilled fear into your lives and took away your career. ” With files from CTV News ' Michel Boyer and Mercedes Stephenson

SC Public Radio News - The state of South Carolina has scheduled its first execution after prison officials indicated they are ready to conduct executions by firing squad . Richard Bernard Moore is scheduled to die April 29 after the state Supreme Court issued an execution order Thursday . The 57-year-old Moore has spent more than two decades on death row after he was convicted of killing convenience store clerk James Mahoney in Spartanburg . Moore could face a choice between the electric chair and the firing squad . Lawmakers added the firing squad option to the state 's capital punishment law last year to work around a decade-long pause in executions attributed to a lack of lethal injection drugs . - The State House of Representatives this week voted overwhelmingly to replace and restructure the University of South Carolina ’ s governing board . The 113 to one vote follows a growing lack of confidence by many lawmakers in the current Board of Trustees . Those trustees are elected by the legislature , but botched presidential searches , million dollar payoffs to fired coaches , and public spats with some of the college ’ s largest donors led to the action on the bill . - A bill allowing limited use of medical marijuana in South Carolina is heading to the House floor . That is the furthest the proposal has made it during the eight years its passionate supporters have been pushing for it . A House committee voted 16-3 in favor of the bill Thursday . The bill 's sponsor said if it passes , South Carolina 's law would be one of the most conservative of the nearly 40 states that allow marijuana for medical use . Smoking the drug would be illegal . Instead patients would have to use oil , salves , patches or vaporizers . The illnesses that can be treated are specified , including cancer , multiple sclerosis , glaucoma , sickle cell anemia , autism and some post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses . - South Carolina coach Dawn Staley has gone through a consequential year of success , both on and off the basketball court . Along the way , Staley has become the voice of leadership and direction in the women 's game . She jokes often that she never planned to get into coaching before accepting the job at Temple even though she has always had in her . Staley 's role as an elite point guard was to serve as the coach on the floor . She won her second NCAA Tournament crown — the first Black coach to accomplish the feat — with a 64-49 victory over UConn . Her success has given Staley the platform to champion issues off the court . She continues to speak out about gender equity , diversity and opportunities for women . Open Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina 's scenic , natural , and historic landscapes The Open Space Institute ’ s mission is to protect scenic , natural , and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment , conserve habitat and working lands , and sustain communities . Over the past 40 years , the institute has saved 2,285,092 acres of land through direct acquisition , grants , and loans . Having begun by focusing on land in New York State , they have in recent years saved significant , complex , and large-scale tracts in South Carolina , Florida , and New Jersey through direct acquisitions . In December 2022 , the Open Space Institute ( OSI ) and The Nature Conservancy ( TNC ) announced the purchase of three properties along the Santee River in South Carolina , expanding the largest contiguous block of protected coastal lands in the state . OSI ’ s Vice-President and Director of the Southeast , Maria Whitehead , joins Walter Edgar to talk about the acquisition and about the Institute ’ s plans for land protection in the state .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON An Aphria worker look out over a crop of marijuana in an undated handout image . ( THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Aphria ) LEAMINGTON , Ont . -- Cannabis producer Aphria Inc. says a review of its governance procedures revealed certain non-independent directors had conflicting interests in its acquisition of several Latin American companies . The company says a separate review of the takeover of the companies in Jamaica , Argentina and Colombia found the purchase price for the deal to be within an acceptable range , and assets for all three companies were in place . Aphria launched the reviews after short-sellers alleged in December that the acquisitions totalling $ 280-million were `` largely worthless '' and the purchase price `` vastly inflated '' to benefit insiders . Aphria says it will adopt best practices to manage conflicts of interests , after it found some directors had not fully disclosed their conflicts to the board , as part of several recommendations put forth by the review committee . Irwin Simon , Aphria 's independent board chair , says the board will be fully composed of independent directors once the company appoints a permanent CEO . Company CEO Vic Neufeld announced in January that he was stepping down . Aphria 's shares were trading up close to five per cent in mid-morning trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange .

Woolf : Vermont is big -- in terms of government How can we measure the size of government ? Using dollars , it ’ s the level of taxes or the amount government spends . Another way is to focus on how many people government employs . The U.S. Census Bureau measures it all three ways and it recently released its estimates of public employment by state . It shows that Vermont ’ s state and local governments employed 50,720 full-time and part-time people in March 2016 , or 40,130 full-time equivalent personnel . The total number of full-time equivalents employed by state and local governments in Vermont , normalized by our population , is 26 percent more than the national average and only three states — Wyoming , Alaska , and Kansas — employ more government workers than Vermont as a share of total population . Vermont ’ s high ranking is entirely due to the large number of employees in public education . We employ 55 percent more people in K-12 education than the national average and we have more full-time equivalents employed in our public schools , relative to our population , than any other state in the nation . The Census Bureau considers state colleges and universities instruments of the state so their employees ( me , for example ) are counted as public employees . Vermont also has more full-time equivalent personnel at institutions of higher education than the national average , which means our higher education system is larger than our small population size would justify . If we ignore both K-12 and higher education , Vermont ’ s state and local employment is very close to the national average . - More : Woolf : Vermont 's record on health care spending deflates confidence - Woolf : Picture of poverty in Vermont is complex - Woolf : Believe it or not , housing is more affordable today That does not mean that Vermont staffs every other governmental function just like the average state . After education , the second largest single public function by employment is government administration . Vermont ’ s employment in this function — 36.8 full-time equivalents per 10,000 Vermonters — is 75 percent more than the national average . This doesn ’ t necessarily mean that there is an abundance of state workers in Montpelier , but it might . It also might just be a reflection of Vermont ’ s decentralized local government structure . And that is a reflection of the large number of small towns in Vermont , each with its own administrative employees . We also have more than the national average employees in transportation — twice as many as the national average . This also is a function of the large number of small towns , but it ’ s also because of our weather and small size . We need more snowplows and drivers because of all the snow we get , and our roads need more maintenance because of our weather . We also have a lot of miles roads to maintain given our population . There are good reasons , then , for the large number of people we employ to maintain our transportation system . For some government functions , Vermont has a fewer public employees than average . This is most notable in health , where Vermont has 30 percent fewer public workers than the average state . This is primarily because we don ’ t have any public hospitals that exist in many cities . It also may be that many states provide health care services directly but Vermont contracts them out to the private sector . Just because public employment in health is low does not indicate a lack of public spending on health care . Finally , Vermont has fewer public employees than the national average on what many consider one of the core services of government — protection . We have fewer police and fewer people working in corrections . That is probably because Vermont has less crime , so voters don ’ t pressure politicians to increase the number of police or the number of prison cells . The U.S. Department of Justice ’ s Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics show that in 2014 Vermont ’ s violent crime rate — including murder , robbery , assault , and rape — was 99.3 crimes per 100,000 people , 75 percent less than the national average . Property crime rates — burglary , larceny , and car thefts—were nearly half the U.S. average . Vermont has a big government , if we measure government by how many people it employs . Somewhat paradoxically , our government is big because of the large number of people we employ in our small local schools . Government employment in Vermont Art Woolf is associate professor of economics at the University of Vermont .

In his plea , he admitted that from 2005 to 2008 he and another man operated Web sites offering for sale without a prescription misbranded and counterfeit drugs to customers in the United States in violation of the Federal Food , Drug and Cosmetic Act . Calvelo ’ s Web sites offered for sale more than 40 prescription drugs including brand names Viagra , Depakote , Glucophage , Zoloft , Lipitor , Cialis , Xanax , Ativan and Klonopin . Controlled substances for sale from the Web site included Alprazolam ( sold under the brand name Xanax ) , Lorazapam ( Ativan ) and Clonazepam ( Klonopin ) . Under federal law , the crime of misbranding includes dispensing a prescription drug without a valid prescription from a licensed practitioner . “ This investigation and today ’ s sentencing reflect the seriousness of importing counterfeit and misbranded pharmaceutical drugs into the United States , ” said Patrick J. Holland , Special Agent in Charge of the FDA ’ s Office of Criminal Investigations ’ Kansas City Field Office . “ We will continue to investigate and pursue this type of criminal activity and to ensure the safety of the pharmaceutical drug supply. ” Calvelo ’ s Web sites included cheapestviagraworldwide.com , allcheapdrugs.com , allcheappills.com , cheapdrugspharmacy.com , allmedspharmacy.net , allnaturalpharmacy.com , horizonpharmacy.net , and trustgeneric.com . Calvelo ’ s Web sites accepted orders from buyers in the United States and elsewhere . He operated a customer service call center in the Philippines and issued payments to employees through wire transfers via Western Union in the Philippines , Costa Rica and the United States . He also received payments from customers via credit card processors in the Netherlands . From early in 2007 to early in 2008 , Calvelo paid a company in Overland Park , Kan. , for hosting his Web sites . In 2008 , he transferred the hosting of some of the Web sites to a company in Columbus , Ohio . In 2007 , an undercover agent from the Food and Drug Administration ’ s Office of Criminal Investigations made purchases from Calvelo ’ s Web sites . The agent later contacted Calvelo through the Costa Rica Off-Shore Business Center posing as a pharmaceutical wholesaler in the United States seeking to establish an on-line pharmacy . In conversations with the agent via video conference calls on Skype , Calvelo admitted his role in the Internet pharmacy scheme and provided details of the operation . Co-defendant Jeffrey Westmoreland , 35 , a citizen of Canada , is a fugitive . Grissom commended the Food and Drug Administration ’ s Office of Criminal Investigation , John Claud of the Justice Department ’ s Office of Consumer Protection Litigation and Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Rask for their work on the case . In all cases , defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty . The indictments filed merely contain allegations of criminal conduct .

Western Alliance Bank to buy part of GE Capital assets General Electric Co has announced that Western Alliance Bank would buy GE Capital assets . General Electric has decided to focus on its core industrial operations . As part of this strategy , GE is offloading GE Capital assets enabling it to confine totally to the industrial segment globally . The sale transactions may be completed by end of this year . The sale proposal on offloading assets of GE Capital by General Electric Co has been on anvil for some time . GE Capital provides real estate financing to US hotel owners . In 2015 , it announced that it would offload GE Capital business , making more space for global industry . The Wall Street Journal reports that another franchise-financing business engaged in Canadian hospitality and restaurant sectors would be sold to a different buyer . However , GE Electric did n't provide the details about the transaction and sale price . The size of financial operations is pegged at $ 1.4 billion for US business and $ 300 million for Canada operations . GE has signed on sale agreement for $ 161 billion worth of finance assets as against its target of $ 200 billion . It will gradually withdraw from financing and other non-core activities totally . US Federal Reserve has approved the purchase proposal of Goldman Sachs Group Inc for a bank owned by GE Capital . Street Insider further adds that US hotel business and Canadian transactions are expected to add about $ 0.2 billion capital once the sale transaction is completed . It 's estimated that $ 35 billion of dividends would be paid to GE and this is subject to regulatory approval . These two transactions may be completed by second quarter of 2016 . The financial advisor on both the deals to GE is Barclays . Keith Sherin , GE Capital Chairman and CEO , said `` We 're pleased to sell the US hotel portion of our Franchise Finance business to Western Alliance , a fast growing bank that is committed to the business , customers and employees . Combined with the sale of our Canadian Franchise business , this represents a significant portion of Franchise Finance , our last North American business to be sold as part of our plan to significantly reduce the size of GE Capital . '' Hogn Lovells is providing legal advice for the US hotel transaction , while McCarthy Tetrault LLP will take the legal services on Canadian transaction . GE is focusing on its core industry segment . However , it will retail financing verticals pertaining to industrial business . GE , in April 2015 , announced its intention to sell off GE Capital assets . Since then , GE signed agreements worth $ 161 billion and closed $ 138 billion of them . GE is also planning to sell $ 200 billion GE Capital businesses globally . GE is expected to complete the process by 2016 . Robert Sarver , Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Western Alliance , is optimistic on the acquisition . The deal is expected to strengthen Western Alliance to establish a new presence in risk-adjusted return and select-service hotel industry . Western Alliance will also be benefited from underwriting and credit management capabilities of GE Capital , as reported by Business Wire . Phoenix-based Western Alliance Bancorp , the parent company of Western Alliance Bank , is hoping to close the buying deal in April 2016 and will immediately add to earnings per share ( EPS ) . Western Alliance Bancorporation manages $ 14 billion assets and is one of the fast growing bank holding companies in the US .

Phoenix Woman Sentenced to Prison for Defrauding Local Charities PHOENIX – This week , U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow sentenced Mary Bauer ( aka Mary Almassy ) to 33 months in federal prison , followed by three years of supervised release . Bauer was also ordered to pay more than $ 1 million in restitution . Bauer had previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud . Bauer defrauded nearly two dozen local and national charities out of more than a million dollars in consulting fees . Bauer held herself out as an experienced fundraiser who could help charities get large donations from wealthy philanthropists . Bauer falsely claimed that she and her employees and associates had special access to certain out-of-state donors who wanted to make large charitable gifts . Those donors did not exist . Bauer made up the fictitious donors , as well as fictitious employees and associates , and fabricated numerous documents to conceal her fraud and lull her victims into continuing to pay her large monthly fees . Bauer ’ s victims include charities dedicated to curing debilitating diseases , educating Arizona ’ s schoolchildren , and rehabilitating injured wildlife . “ Frauds against charities are far-reaching , because they hurt not only the organizations , but the people the charities seek to serve , and the persons who have given to support the cause , ” stated Elizabeth A . Strange , First Assistant U.S. Attorney . “ Our office will continue to aggressively prosecute anyone who targets charitable organizations. ” “ A prison sentence is very appropriate for someone who defrauded organizations dedicated to charitable causes and especially someone that took numerous steps to try to conceal her fraudulent activity , ” said Ismael Nevarez Jr. , Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field Office of IRS-Criminal Investigation . The investigation in this case was conducted by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation . The prosecution was handled by Bridget Minder , Frank Galati , and Monica Klapper , Assistant U.S . Attorneys , District of Arizona , Phoenix .

news @ barnesville.com Time and perspective change a man and this one is no exception . Once a huge baseball fan , I have not watched an entire World Series game since the last time the Atlanta Braves participated in one . However , over the weekend , I watched five World Cup soccer matches in their entirety , caught portions of several others and , at this writing , the American men haven ’ t even played yet .
