Wonder Girls member Ye-eun, also known as Yenny, has stepped out of her girl group shell with the release of her first solo EP "Me?" on Monday.

Debuting under the stage name "HA:TFELT," Yenny's new seven-track EP is a far cry from a Wonder Girls-type sound, edging more toward a rock approach than K-pop.

Yenny stated that she actually fought with producer Park Jin-young, CEO of JYP Entertainment, over the concept of the album.

"After listening to the songs, the producer (JYP) was concerned about whether they were mainstream enough," said Yenny in news reports.

"Because of his concerns, he wanted to select a different song as the title track; this was just the start.

From then on it was a war between us about the concept of the choreography, the album cover design, the music video ― there really was no end."

(JYP Entertainment)Despite Park's concern about the artist's new musical direction

, the singer-songwriter still had a heavy hand in cowriting and coproducing every single on the EP, including the album's lead track "Ain't Nobody.

"Yenny's "Me?" is the artist's first release since Wonder Girls unveiled their single "Like Money," featuring American hip-hop star Akon.

Although Yenny is still technically a member of Wonder Girls, Sohee's departure and Sun-ye's recent marriage have put the once-popular girl group on hiatus, resulting in some of the members pursing solo careers.

# Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V Track With Kendrick Lamar Has a History as Bizarre as the Album Itself

Mona Lisa includes some vivid storytelling and the best verse on the album.

Given how long its been in the works, there are a lot of weird little stories hidden in Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V.

Originally announced in 2012, the album was supposed to be released in 2014, held in purgatory by a label dispute.

Days before its initial release Wayne tweeted that his mentor and Cash Money boss Birdman refused to release the album.

"I am a prisoner and so is my creativity," Wayne tweeted at the time.

"I am truly sorry and I don't blame ya if ya fed up with waiting 4 me & this album."

The next year, Wayne sued Cash Money for $51 million to part ways with the label.

Three years later, the legal disputes between Wayne and Birdman have been settled for an undisclosed amount, which has allowed for the release of Tha Carter V.

So, here we are, six years later and Tha Carter V is finally out.

The album's 23 songs have been written throughout more than half of this decade, and it's interesting trying to piece together—through the music or lyrics—when these songs were recorded.

Among these gems from the 2010s is the mythical Lil Wayne song with Kendrick Lamar.

The song has a history as bizarre as the album itself.

It first came to light in 2017 when Pharmabro Martin Shkreli leaked the song during a live stream.

How the hell did wannabe super villain Martin Shkreli come into possession of this long awaited album?

"Martin told me that Lil Wayne sold his Bugatti Veyron to some guy," The Daily Caller's Alex Pfeiffer told Pigeons and Planes in 2017.

"The guy then discovered CDs and assorted personal belongings of Wayne in the car.

[The guy] called Wayne and asked if he wanted them back and Wayne said 'no.'

One of these CDs turned out to be Tha Carter V and he sold it to Shkreli."

Sure enough, the song "Mona Lisa" has appeared on the final cut of Tha Carter V.

And the song introduces some of Wayne and Lamar's most vivid storytelling—a story about a woman who sets up men to get robbed by her boyfriend.

The song was likely recorded sometime before 2016, given a reference to Kobe Bryant.

Fans on Twitter have already labeled Lamar's verse the best on the album, in which he deploys a rare rapid-fire flow.

It's a dizzying 5-minute long story, that's well worth the six-year wait.

In May 2014, Lil Wayne's longtime record producer, former Cash Money artist Mannie Fresh, announced he would be reuniting with Wayne on "Tha Carter V". The collaboration marks the first time in 10 years that Fresh and Wayne worked together, not since 2004, when Wayne released "Tha Carter" and Fresh subsequently severed ties with the Cash Money Records. Also in May 2014, Atlanta-based rapper and producer Soulja Boy, who previously produced "Wowzerz" from "I Am Not a Human Being II" (2013) for Lil Wayne, announced he was working with Wayne on the fifth installment of "Tha Carter" series. In June 2014, Atlanta-based record producer Mike Will Made It, revealed "I got three records with Lil Wayne for "Tha Carter V"". In July 2014, Lil Wayne's frequent collaborator DVLP confirmed he had produced songs for "Tha Carter V". While on the red carpet of the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards in California on August 24, West Coast hip hop producer DJ Mustard confirmed to MTV that Lil Wayne will be rapping over one of his beats on the album. In April 2016, New York-based record producer Myles William, revealed to the Arizona State Press, that he would produce a track for "Tha Carter V". A good number of songs from "Tha Carter V" were recorded years before the album's release. "Mona Lisa" featuring Kendrick Lamar was recorded in 2014 and was intended to be on the 2014 release of the album.

Arsenal were appearing in the final of the FA Cup for the 20th time, the club's third in four years. They had won the cup twelve times previously (in 1930, 1936, 1950, 1971, 1979, 1993, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2014 and 2015) and were beaten in the final seven times, most recently in 2001. By comparison, Chelsea were making their 12th appearance in a FA Cup final. The club won the cup seven times (1970, 1997, 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012) and lost four finals. Arsenal and Chelsea had previously met 13 times in the FA Cup. Arsenal held an advantage in those meetings, winning seven of the last eight. Chelsea, however, won the last FA Cup tie, a 2–1 victory in April 2009.

# Source: Obama approves arming Syrian rebels

Published 4:58 p.m. ET June 13, 2013 | Updated 7:10 a.m. ET June 14, 2013CLOSE

President Barack Obama has authorized sending weapons to Syrian rebels, after the White House disclosed that the United States has conclusive evidence President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against opposition forces.

Announcement comes ahead of next week's G-8 summit in Northern IrelandIntelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to dateWhite House stopped short of saying it would arm Syrian rebels

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration announced Thursday that it has determined that the Syrian government has deployed chemical weapons against opposition groups, crossing what President Obama had called a "red line" and prompting him to provide direct military aid to the Syrian opposition groups for the first time.

White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said that the president has decided to step up "military support" to the main opposition group, the Supreme Military Council, to bolster its effectiveness, but declined to "inventory" what equipment would be provided.

But a government official knowledgeable about the plans confirmed to USA TODAY that the new assistance would include arming the rebels.

The official was not authorized to speak and did so on condition of anonymity.

The announcement comes ahead of next week's Group of Eight Summit in Northern Ireland, where the conflict in Syria is expected to be a focal point of conversation.

Russia, one of the G-8 member countries, has continued to back the Bashar Assad regime despite pleas from the United States and international community to cease.

The White House has also expressed concerns that the situation is getting more dire in Syria as Hezbollah and Iran have stepped up their involvement in the conflict in support of Assad.

"There is an urgency to the situation," Rhodes said.

"There has been an urgency to the situation for two years.

It's particularly urgent right now in terms of the situation on the ground, in some respect, because we have seen Hezbollah and Iran increase their own involvement."

The White House notified lawmakers on Thursday that it had positively determined chemical weapons were used before announcing the findings to the press.

Obama acknowledged in April that chemical weapons likely had been deployed, but they needed further confirmation before taking action.

Obama had called the potential use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar Assad a "red line" that would spur further action by the U.S.

The president "has said the use of chemical weapons would change his calculus and it has," Rhodes said.

The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date, a small fraction of the more than 90,000 that have been killed in the 2-year-old civil war.

The U.S. assessment is based on laboratory analysis of physiological samples obtained from a number of individuals that revealed exposure to sarin.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf Arab states are already providing arms and ammunition to rebel groups.

What is lacking is cohesion and organization.

But Assad's forces have made recent headway against the rebels, driving them from a strategic city near the border of Lebanon.

"You need to provide the right kind of arms," said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

What they really need is anti-armor and anti-aircraft weapons."

One Democrat even suggested taking stronger action.

Sen. Bob Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat on the foreign relations committee, recommended the U.S. launch cruise missile attacks to ground Assad's Air Force.

Such a move would help carve out a "safe zone" for rebels in northern Syria that could be protected by Patriot anti-missile batteries that are already located in neighboring Turkey, he said..

"We have to do something substantial now," Casey said.

Rhodes said that the president has not made any decisions to implement a no-fly zone, as he did in Libya in as part of an international effort to oust Moammar Gadhafi.

But Rhodes underscored that White House officials believe the most effective action they can take to improve the situation on the ground is to strengthen the opposition.

"A no-fly zone ... would carry with it great and open-ended costs for the United States and the international community," Rhodes said.

"It would be far more complex to undertake that effort in Syria than it was in Libya.

Furthermore, there's not a clear guarantee that it would dramatically improve the situation on the ground."

Several lawmakers applauded the president for acknowledging the use of chemical weapons, but called on him to take more significant action to topple Assad.

"I thank the president for acknowledging that Syrians are using chemical weapons," McCain said.

"Just to provide additional weapons to the Syrian National Army is not enough.

We have got to change the equation on the battleground."

A Syrian boy waves the revolutionary flag during a protest in front the Syrian embassy in in Jordan.

"It is in our national security interest to see that the war in Syria ends and Assad is displaced," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

"It can be done, and it should be done, and it is in our interest to do it."

Earlier on Thursday, Politico reported that former president Bill Clinton agreed with McCain that Obama should be more forceful in his support of the Syrian rebels.

"Some people say, 'OK, see what a big mess it is? Stay out!'

I think that's a big mistake," Clinton said during a Tuesday event on behalf of the McCain Institute for International Leadership in New York City.

"I agree with you about this," Clinton told McCain.

"Sometimes it's just best to get caught trying, as long as you don't over-commit — like, as long as you don't make an improvident commitment."

Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War

Support for Syrian opposition.:United States.

Agents also helped opposition forces develop supply routes, and provided them with communications training. CIA operatives distributed assault rifles, anti-tank rocket launchers and other ammunition to Syrian opposition. The State Department had then reportedly allocated $15 million for civilian opposition groups in Syria. In July 2012, the US government granted a non-governmental organization called Syrian Support Group a license to fund the Free Syrian Army. In 2016, a number of US officials revealed that the CIA in 2012 proposed a detailed covert action plan designed to remove Bashar Assad from power, but president Obama declined to approve it.
 In early March 2013, a Jordanian security source revealed that the U.S., Britain, and France were training non-Islamist rebels in Jordan in an effort to strengthen secular elements in the opposition as a bulwark against Islamic extremism, and to begin building security forces to maintain order in the event of Assad's fall. In April 2013, also in Jordan, the United States had set up a $70 million program in the country "that is training the kingdom's special forces to identify and secure chemical-weapons sites across Syria should the regime fall and the wrong rebels look like getting their hands on them."
 In April 2013, the Obama administration promised to double non-lethal aid to rebels, specifically to $250 million.


In a January 2013 interview at NAMM, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, Butler stated that "13" was not the final title of the album and it would possibly be changed; however, this turned out not to be the case.

# BLACK SABBATH Bassist Talks New Album, Upcoming Tour In Video Interview

Frankie DiVita, radio personality at Southern California's 96.7 KCAL Rocks, conducted an interview with BLACK SABBATH bassist Geezer Butler at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

On BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi's cancer treatment:

He's been having his treatment now for 14 months, and he's really responding well to it.

On the incident at SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne's home in Beverly Hills earlier this month which resulted in Ozzy burning his hand:

He burnt his hand when he was putting the fire out.

On BLACK SABBATH's new album title, "13":

Butler: "Well, it was sort of a temporary name, that we had something to refer to the album as, and I think it kind of stuck.

But I don't know if that's gonna be the final title or not.

[It was named partly because it's coming out in the year 2013] and originally, we were gonna put 13 tracks on the album.

We ended up doing 16 tracks, so I'm not sure what's gonna on the album and what isn't."

Butler: "This is the first time we've done an album together sober; none of us have been drinking or doing drugs or anything, so it's been more professional in that way.

And we've stuck to a schedule every day.

We'd go in at one o'clock and finish at six, just to keep everything fresh.

On the inspiration for the new BLACK SABBATH album:

Butler: "It's sort of got the feel of the first three albums — back to the basic rawness.

Life and death and doom and everything else.

Butler: "We start in New Zealand and Australia in April, and then we do Japan.

Then we do album promotion in June and then USA in July and August.

… [The USA trek] will be strictly [a] BLACK SABBATH [tour and not an Ozzfest run]."

On having RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE's Brad Wilk play on the new BLACK SABBATH album:

Butler: "That was [producer] Rick Rubin's idea, 'cause he wanted to have…

He didn't want a typical heavy metal drummer on the album, 'cause it's not really a heavy metal album; it's more of a rock… heavy rock.

And Rick Rubin suggested having Brad, 'cause he's more in the vein of [original BLACK SABBATH drummer] Bill Ward.

So we jammed with him and he sounded great with the stuff, so we went with that …

It's sort of back to the way we used to be in the '70s; that's his feel — sort of a jazzy, bluesy feel to him, and that's the way the music is now.

BLACK SABBATH first LP with Ozzy Osbourne since 1978 will be released in June via Vertigo/Universal Republic in the U.S. and Vertigo in all other territories.

Ward in May 2012 announced again that he was declining to join his former bandmates for its scheduled 2012 dates, as well as the recording of a new album, due to a contractual dispute.

On 19 May 2012, Butler released a statement expressing sadness at Ward's decision. He further unveiled that drummer Tommy Clufetos was rehearsing with them in England.
 On 2 June 2012, Osbourne told "NME" that Black Sabbath had written "about 15 songs so far." He also said that "2013" was a good clue as to what the album would be called. The band returned to the studio to continue work on the album on 23 August 2012. An interview that October confirmed the title of one of the new songs, "God Is Dead?".

# Jake Gyllenhaal to make Broadway debut in Constellations

The Hollywood actor, who has previously performed off-Broadway as well as in London, will step up to the Samuel J. Friedman Theater in December

First published on Fri 13 Jun 2014 05.14 EDT

Jake Gyllenhaal, the Oscar-nominated actor known for powerful roles in Brokeback Mountain and Donnie Darko as well as a host of action and romcom appearances, will make his Broadway debut in December.

He will star in the American premiere of Constellations by Nick Payne, which was warmly received when it was performed in London in 2012 with Sally Hawkins and Rafe Spall.

It considers the idea of a multiverse – parallel universes with slightly differing possibilities – where the play's central couple sometimes live harmoniously in love, sometimes fractiously. "He has written a play about the infinite possibilities of love, the way we delude ourselves by thinking we never have enough time, when of course we have all the time in the (many) world(s)," wrote Lyn Gardner in the Guardian, in a four star review.

Gyllenhaal has worked with Payne's material before, performing in his play If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet off-Broadway in 2012, which was also directed by Constellations' upcoming director Michael Longhurst.

Gyllenhaal has focused mainly on film, but an early success came on stage in 2002, with a London production of Kenneth Lonergan's This Is Our Youth.

He won the outstanding newcomer prize at the Evening Standard awards, and recently expressed a desire to return to the London stage.

"I love it here and I loved working here on the stage," he said last year, singling out the Old Vic as particularly attractive.

"The Old Vic is such an incredible institution and an amazing theatre space.

And if that temptation calls, I will answer in one way or another."

His actor sister Maggie will also make her Broadway debut this year, opposite Ewan McGregor in Tom Stoppard's comedy The Real Thing.

Gyllenhaal's New York Off-Broadway debut occurred in 2012 in Nick Payne's "If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet" at the Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura Pels Theatre.

Thirty Seconds to Mars' latest single "City of Angels" is already a Top 10 hit at alternative radio.

It is the fourth track on their fourth studio album, "Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams."

"City of Angels" was written by Jared Leto, the lead singer and bassist of the rock band Thirty Seconds To Mars.

In the song's lyric video, which takes place in Los Angeles, California, Jared Leto is seen singing the words, in a dynamic and moving performance, where he showcases his incredible range.

It is certainly one of the best tracks on the album, and it deserves to be higher on the charts.

The lyric video has been well-received by fans, thus generating over 1.3 million views, in less than two months.

The song "City of Angels" is proof that Jared Leto is one of the finest vocalists and songwriters in the modern rock genre of music.

Jared ranks in my Top 3 favorites, along with Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.

"City of Angels" was met with general acclaim from music critics. Dan Slessor of "Alternative Press" named it a stand-out track from the album and found it "compelling from start to finish, building from ethereal beginnings to an enormous, drum-heavy climax". Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic praised it as one of the album's highlights. Rick Pearson from the "Evening Standard" acknowledged the influences of U2 and complimented Leto's vocals.


However, historian William W. Freehling calls him "the most dominant figure in the evolution of the Northwest territories into the Upper Midwest today".

(meta data) TITLE: William Harrison: Impact and Legacy | Miller Center

William Henry Harrison was the first Whig to enter office, and the first President to die in office.

Harrison's significance in presidential history does not lie in his brief term in office, but rather in the innovative campaign techniques designed by his party to secure him the office.

Savvy advisers eyed the electorate and wholly altered their candidate's résumé and image to fit what the public wanted.

Harrison's handlers made a common man out of Virginia aristocracy.

Countless succeeding campaigns have taken this lesson and ridden it to victory.

For example, it is doubtful that Abraham Lincoln ever actually split fence rails.

Furthermore, Theodore Roosevelt, despite his cowboy image, enjoyed genteel Eastern wealth.

Finally, the pork-rind-loving George Bush, as a boy, rode in chauffeured automobiles to elite private schools.

After his death, his running mate, former Democrat John Tyler, would alienate the Whigs and ally himself with his former party.

Only Zachary Taylor would be elected by the Whigs, and Millard Fillmore would succeed him in office.

Thereafter the party would be absorbed into the Republican Party in 1854.

William Henry Harrison, of course, is a much more prominent player in the history of America than in the history of its presidency.

He is remembered as the most dominant figure in the evolution of the Northwest territories into the Upper Midwest today.

As both soldier and statesman, Harrison spent virtually his entire adult life championing this region.

Whenever a President dies in office, there is considerable debate as to what he would and would not have done, given a full term.

Because his time in office was so short and he believed that Congress should be the dominant policymaker, it is impossible to assess the probable course of a Harrison presidency.

The death of Harrison prevented the congressional Whigs from consolidating power.

Within a decade and a half, the party was in pieces, splintered into the existing Democrats and a new party, the Republicans.

###### Impact and Legacy (Current Essay)

Two years later, President John Adams named him governor of the newly established Indiana Territory, a post he held until 1812. After the War of 1812, he moved to Ohio where he was elected to represent the state's 1st district in the House in 1816. In 1824, the state legislature elected him to the United States Senate; his term was truncated by his appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Gran Colombia in May 1828. Afterward, he returned to private life in Ohio until he was nominated as the Whig Party candidate for president in the 1836 election; he was defeated by Democratic vice president Martin Van Buren. Four years later, the party nominated him again with John Tyler as his running mate, and the Whig campaign slogan was "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too". They defeated Van Buren in the 1840 election, making Harrison the first Whig to win the presidency.
 At 68 years, 23 days of age at the time of his inauguration, Harrison was the oldest person to have assumed the U.S. presidency, a distinction he held until 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated at age 69 years, 349 days. Due to his brief tenure, scholars and historians often forgo listing him in historical presidential rankings.

# Emmy Nominations 2019: 'Game of Thrones' Breaks 'NYPD Blue' Record with 32 Nominations

The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, and as always when it comes to this notoriously finnicky organization, it's a mixed bag.

The big news is that, as expected, the final season of Game of Thrones was recognized across the board.

In fact, Thrones landed a whopping 32 nominations, breaking a long standing record set by NYPD Blue for the most nominations for a single season.

Emmy voters really threw it around this final go-around, giving Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke Best Actor and Actress nominations and filling out the supporting categories with the likes of Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Gwendoline Christie, and even Lena Headey despite the fact that Cersei just sat in a castle the whole season and had maybe 20 minutes of screentime.

Offscreen, Thrones was also nominated for Best Directing in a Drama Series for the Battle of Winterfell episode "The Long Night", the aftermath episode "The Last of the Starks", and the series finale "The Iron Throne."

The series finale—which was written and directed by showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss—was also nominated for Best Writing

HBO—which, it should be noted, has the most voters in the TV Academy which in turn feeds into their dominance—shined bright even beyond Thrones.

After losing out on total noms to Netflix last year, HBO was back on top with 137 total nominations this year.

The excellent, critically acclaimed Barry collected 17 total Emmy nominations.

Bill Hader won Best Actor in a Comedy and Henry Winkler won Best Supporting Actor last year, but in addition to nominations for the two this year, actors Sarah Goldberg, Anthony Carrigan, and Stephen Root were all nominated in the Supporting category.

Hader is also nominated this year for writing and directing the tour-de-force episode "ronny/lily" (read my lengthy chat with Hader on bringing that episode to life here).

Outside of the Home Box Office, the acclaimed PopTV series Schitt's Creek finally picked up deserving nominations for Best Comedy Series and Actor and Actress for Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy, while The Good Place also picked up its first-ever Best Comedy Series nomination.

And Fleabag Season 2—one of the best pieces of storytelling in 2019, across all mediums—scored a number of nominations including Best Actress in a Comedy for Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

But I have to say, the total snubbing of Andrew Scott as The (Hot) Priest is completely uncalled for and I will be writing several strongly worded letters.

On the limited series/TV movie side of things, two of the most critically acclaimed pieces of television scored big: HBO's Chernobyl and Netflix's When They See Us.

The latter fared particularly well in the acting categories, with Jharrel Jerome picking up a Lead Actor nominations alongside Chernobyl's Jared Harris.

The biggest snubs in my book? The Haunting of Hill House for Limited Series and acting and Late Night with Seth Meyers for Outstanding Variety Talk Series—although I was heartened by the writing noms for both Late Night and Documentary Now!

The divisive final season of "Game of Thrones" smashed the record for most Primetime Emmy nominations by a drama series in a single year, earning a whopping 32 nods Tuesday.

HBO's fantasy epic enraged fans with its bumpy conclusion but still trounced the competition to strengthen its iron grip on the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" -- Amazon's story of a 1950s housewife-turned-stand up comic -- was a distant second on 20 nominations.

"Thrones" is the most decorated fictional show in the awards' seven-decade history, and now has 161 nominations overall -- including 47 wins.

"For those who will be adding 2019 to their long list of nominations and or wins from other years -- it never gets old!" said Television Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma.

The show about families vying for the Iron Throne broke a 25-year nominations record for a drama series in a single year previously held by "NYPD Blue," which earned 27 nods in 1994.

Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington were recognised in the lead acting categories, while eight other "Thrones" cast members swept the board in the supporting and guest acting categories.

The shortened eighth and last season also won a slew of technical awards.

"Thrones" capitalised on a threadbare year for drama, with several big hitters such as "The Handmaid's Tale" missing from the main categories.

The next highest-placed drama -- AMC's "Breaking Bad" prequel "Better Call Saul" -- managed just eight nominations.

HBO's acclaimed limited series "Chernobyl" placed third overall this year with 19 nominations, ahead of perennial Emmys powerhouse "Saturday Night Live" on 18.

Dark hitman comedy "Barry," also from HBO, was joint fifth overall on 17 nods, tied with FX mini-series "Fosse/Verdon."

This year's nominations saw HBO reclaim its title for most-nominated network from web streaming giant Netflix, which last year had ended its 17-year winning streak.

HBO claimed 137 nods to Netflix's 117 -- a record for each, meaning the pair tighten their joint stranglehold on the prestigious awards.

Netflix's "When They See Us," the true story of five men wrongly accused of raping a Central Park jogger, earned 16 nominations including eight acting nods.

"Thank you to the real men for inviting me to tell their story...

Love you, brothers," tweeted series creator Ava DuVernay.

Amazon Prime enjoyed a stellar year, more than doubling its haul to reach 47 nods, just behind NBC with 58.

As well as "Maisel," dark British comedy "Fleabag" performed well for Amazon, with five of its actresses receiving nominations including lead Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Waller-Bridge, who is currently rewriting the upcoming 25th James Bond film, also received a writing nomination for "Fleabag."

"CRYING AND DYING ... I cannot speak!!!!!!

Our whole team is in bits," tweeted Sian Clifford, who earned supporting actress recognition.

But there was disappointment for the final season of CBS ratings smash "Big Bang Theory," which failed to register in any main categories.

A-listers Julia Roberts and Jim Carrey were shunned by voters, who ignored their respective performances in Amazon's "Homecoming" and Showtime's "Kidding."

While Netflix/BBC thriller "Bodyguard" earned a drama series nod, its lead actor Richard Madden was a surprising omission.

The Emmys recognises shows that were on in the 12 months to May 31.

That meant several voters' favorites were absent from main categories this year, including Hulu's new season of "The Handmaid's Tale."

The former drama series winner still managed to pick up 11 nominations in technical categories, for episodes submitted from the tail-end of its previous season.

"Big Little Lies" and "Stranger Things" also just missed the cut-off this time around.

The Television Academy's 24,000 members sifted through a record number of entries for this year's Emmys.

The nominations were announced in a livestreamed presentation from Los Angeles hosted by "The Good Place" actress D'Arcy Carden and "The Masked Singer" panelist Ken Jeong.

Final-round voting will now begin to pick winners who will be revealed at a glitzy Los Angeles show on September 22.

(meta data) TITLE: Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten (undated)Photo from Yukon Archives

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten was born in Litchfield, New Hampshire and labored on a farm during his early years.

At the tender age of 13, he spirited off to the 1849 California Gold rush with family, who had previously uprooted from New Hampshire to Illinois.

Jack McQuesten was a big, stout man who stood well over six feet tall and weighed, even in his youth, more than 200 pounds.

By 1858, he had entered British Columbia (Canada), and by 1863, during the American Civil War, McQuesten was mining on the Fraser River.

In 1871, he was one of the vigorous, young Americans who were prospecting in more remote locations in northern Canada.

In addition to McQuesten, the group included James McKnipp, Alfred H. Mayo, Arthur Harper, Frederick Hart, and Andrus Kansellar.

In 1872, Harper, McQuesten, and Mayo, along with Hart, were trading and prospecting in the Omineca region of western Canada.

McQuesten had already worked as a prospector, a trapper, a trader at Fort Gary, Manitoba, and as a Hudson's Bay Trading Company voyageur.

McQuesten and companions traveled to remote Yukon Territory in the summer of 1873, and by September of that year, had arrived at a former Hudson's Bay Trading Company post on the Yukon River in present day Alaska.

In 1847, The Hudson's Bay Trading Company (Hudson's Bay) had established the trading post 'Fort Yukon' in Russian America territory at the confluence of the Porcupine and Yukon Rivers without significant protest from Russian officials-partly because it was unclear whether or not the post was in Canada or Russian America.

But once the United States acquired ownership of Alaska through the 1867 purchase from the Russian Tsar Alexander II, Hudson's Bay was forced by U.S. authorities to leave in 1869, when an American flag was raised.

The Alaska Commercial Company assumed ownership of Hudson's Bay expropriated property, which also became the pattern of ownership of trading posts all over the formerly Russian held territory of Alaska.

Early traders, including McQuesten, Harper, and Mayo, saw an opportunity to fill the vacuum left by Hudson's Bay departure.

These dominantly U.S. citizens would begin to dominate the vast Yukon River basin on both sides of the International Boundary.

In 1874, after journeying downriver with Arthur Harper and Alfred Mayo to St. Michael at the mouth of the Yukon River, McQuesten traveled back up the Yukon River to establish a trading post that he named Fort Reliance on the east bank of the Yukon, just 13 km (7 miles) downstream of the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers.

Fort Reliance remained the center of the fur trade and mining activities in the upper Yukon River for more than a decade, finally yielding that position to a new post established in 1886 near Stewart River further upstream.

Logs from Fort Reliance were subsequently shipped upriver to the new Stewart River post, while others were burned by river steamers, so little remained of Fort Reliance after 1886.

A new trading post at the Stewart River was established by one of McQuesten's partners, Al Mayo.

That the old Fort Reliance was so close to what became the great Klondike gold district has intrigued historians since.

Fort Reliance served as a topographic compass for the region, which still exists today.

For example, the mouth of the Fortymile River and settlement is 40 miles downstream from Fort Reliance.

The mouth of the Sixtymile River is 60 miles upstream from Fort Reliance.

Arthur Harper and Al Mayo had joined with Jack McQuesten in the establishment of Fort Reliance in 1875.

McQuesten operated the post but did ask Harper and Mayo for help from time to time.

When McQuesten was away securing supplies out of St. Michael during 1882, Harper and Mayo took over the management of the post.

It was during this time period when an unfortunate incident took place at Fort Reliance.

Harper and Mayo were having trouble with a local group of Klondike area Natives, who had become agitated with the rapidly expanding presence of traders and prospectors caused by the 1880-1881 opening of the Chilkoot Pass by Alaskan coastal Indians.

Harper and Mayo decided to temporarily leave the post until attitudes and relations improved.

The traders concealed, as best as they could, all of the valuable supplies, which included an arsenic-grease mixture used to kill mice and other vermin.

The Natives, not being able to trade for supplies, looted the post.

They found the arsenic vermin poison and mixed it with flour as a food supplement.

Two elderly woman were poisoned and died and a young girl was permanently blinded.

When McQuesten returned from St. Michael, he knew, as the main owner/operator of Fort Reliance, that he faced a crisis and needed to repair relations with the Upper Yukon River native community as soon as possible.

He did not blame Harper of Mayo for any malfeasance, both of whom felt very bad about the situation.

After a sensitive pow-wow, complete with sincere apologies, McQuesten billed the Natives for the stolen goods, but asked nothing for the damage to the facility.

The Indians agreed to pay for the goods.

The Indians did not blame the traders for the fatalities of the two elderly women, but asked for compensation for the blinding of the child.

According to the Dominion of Canada land surveyor, William Olgilvie,

"...ten skins, the current terms of the country (about six dollars) was demanded for compensation of the injuries to the child.

This amount was cheerfully paid (by McQuesten) and some presents given besides and the prompt payment and kindliness re-

After Fort Reliance was established, McQuesten went back to Fort Yukon in 1875, and then, accompanied by his partners Harper and Mayo, moved further downriver to Tanana, near the village of Nuklukayet.

In 1878, McQuesten met and married Satejdenalno, a.k.a. Katherine or Kate, a Koyukon woman from Kokrines, a village situated about 80 miles west of Tanana.

In 1893, McQuesten grubstaked Russian-Koyukoners Sergei Cherosky and Pitka Pavaloff, a.k.a. Sorresco and Pitka in other historical accounts, who made the rich discovery of placer gold at Birch Creek, in what became the Circle mining district.

In early 1894, McQuesten offered to outfit as many of those in the Fortymile district that wanted to try the new central Alaska district, and some 80 argonauts accepted his offer.

By mid-1894, commercial pay was found on Mastodon, Miller, and Independence Creeks, which would become the core of the future producing district.

Circle City was founded in 1894, and by 1895, was booming and known to be the largest log cabin community in the North Country.

Jack and his able wife Kate established the Alaska Commercial Company in Circle.

Circle also became a staging area for prospectors to work in the Yukon-Tanana region, even after the Klondike gold rush of 1896, i.e., Felix Pedro based out of the Circle area prior to his 1902 discovery of the Fairbanks district.

Jack's wife, Katherine James McQuesten, was educated at Russian Mission on the lower Yukon River in a Russian Orthodox setting.

She was fluent in Russian, Koyukon, and English, and served as an important multi-lingual interpreter for her husband Jack and other Yukon traders such as Al Mayo and Arthur Harper throughout her life.

Respectful of her upbringing, she gave birth to eight of her eleven children in a tent outside their western style houses, according to Koyukon (Athabascan) tradition.

Because of a desire to provide quality educational opportunities like she had had, most of her children were sent outside Alaska to attend school, all in California.

Kate McQuesten was a community leader and served as a unique intermediary between the native and white cultures within the trading posts in which she lived, i.e., Fort reliance, Circle City, Tanana, and Rampart, where both she and Jack lived for many years.

All of the children depicted would graduate from Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California.

In 1897, Jack, then 60 years of age, fearing food shortages and an economic crash in Circle City caused by the Klondike gold rush, decided to move his family outside.

McQuesten did, however, manage to purchase mining claims on Eldorado and Bonanza Creeks in the Klondike district as late as 1898, and was able to profit from those investments.

Jack, Kate, and family embraced a new life in a large Victorian mansion in the bustling town of Berkeley, California.

After Jack McQuesten's death in 1909, Kate successful managed the McQuesten California estate until her own death in 1921 at the age of 61.

Leroy Napoleon (Jack) McQuesten was frequently and aptly referred to as the "Father of the Yukon".

He died in 1909 at the age of 72, while tending to 'ambassador duties' for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in Seattle.

Throughout his life, he established important trading posts and grubstaked many successful prospectors throughout the Yukon River basin.

Jack was also, by far, the most successful financially of the big three Yukon River traders, and was a multi-millionaire by 1898.

The right limit of the Stewart River above the Yukon River bears his name-the McQuesten River.

The more obscure McQuesten Creek, which heads into the Ray Mountains 28 miles northeast of Tanana, also is named after Jack McQuesten.

Regarded by nearly everyone as an honest man, Jack was among the founding members of Yukon Order of Pioneers.

Additional mention has to be made of McQuesten's remarkable wife, Kate.

It is difficult to determine just how, exactly, this very successful man would have managed to become the premier Yukon River trader without her at his side.

The long-held bush legend is that McQuesten never sent out a bill and was seldom shortchanged for his generosity.

According to some, Kate was always looking after his business collections and made sure that he was always paid.

 McQuesten and his two partners each married native Athabascan women of the Koyukon people, strengthening their ties among the local culture. In 1874 Harper married a young woman he called Jeannine, who had not gone to a mission school and preferred to teach her children traditional ways.
 The three trading partners moved to Tanana after 1875, where they set up another trading post near the Athabascan village of Nuklukayet. In 1878 McQuesten married "Satejdenalno" (1860–1921). She was from Kokrines village, about 80 miles west. She had attended the Russian mission school, as had her cousin Margaret, whom Mayo married. "Satejdenalno" became known as Katherine (or Kate) James McQuesten. Fluent in Koyukon, Russian, and English, she often acted as an intermediary for her husband and his partners in communications with the local natives.

The USA men's national team players are starting to reap the rewards of gaining ODI status, with a total of 17 players awarded central contracts through funding supplied by the recent investment deal signed with American Cricket Enterprises.

However, it has also sparked a tipping point in the club v country debate as some have pulled out of the Global T20 Canada after signing a USA Cricket retainer, while others have opted to forgo a central contract to keep their options open for franchise cricket.

According to multiple ESPNcricinfo sources, two key USA players have turned down central contracts: Ali Khan and Hayden Walsh Jr.

They are the only two USA players who were drafted in both the Global T20 Canada - where they will be teammates at Vancouver Knights - and in the Caribbean Premier League.

Ali Khan is returning to Trinbago Knight Riders while Walsh Jr. has switched from St Kitts & Nevis Patriots to Barbados Tridents for the 2019 season.

Accepting a USA contract would have opened up the possibility that they would be denied No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) to participate in these, and other, T20 leagues.

However, both Ali Khan and Walsh Jr can play for USA on a match-fee basis, even though they chose not to accept a contract.

Conversely, five USA players have received one-year central contracts while 12 others have received three-month deals.

The five players to secure one-year deals are batsmen Steven Taylor, Xavier Marshall, Monank Patel and Aaron Jones, and medium pacer Jessy Singh.

Both Taylor and Jones had recently lost their central contracts with Jamaica and Barbados respectively in the Cricket West Indies Professional Cricket League after not being retained in April's PCL draft.

However, USA captain Saurabh Netravalkar and vice-captain Jaskaran Malhotra were not given one-year deals.

Instead, they have been given three-month contracts along with the majority of those who made up USA's squad from WCL Division Two in Namibia this past April that secured ODI status for the country through 2022.

The only player not offered a contract from that squad was Roy Silva, the 39-year-old allrounder.

Consequently it means that Taylor, Singh and Timil Patel have withdrawn from the Global T20 Canada which starts on July 25 in Brampton, Ontario.

It represents a shift in priorities for Taylor, who in the summer of 2015 had withdrawn from USA's squad for the T20 World Cup Qualifier in Ireland to take up a rookie contract with Barbados Tridents and had stated ambitions to one day represent West Indies.

Two other USA players taken in the Global T20 Canada, fast bowler Kyle Phillip and batsman Sunny Sohal, were not offered USA Cricket contracts and have remained in the tournament.

The availability of Netravalkar, Marshall and Jones for the CPL - drafted by Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Tallawahs and St Kitts & Nevis Patriots respectively - is unclear.

Aside from that group, six other players have been given three-month contracts by USA Cricket in the buildup to the T20 World Cup Qualifying.

They are former South African international Rusty Theron, former USA vice-captain Timroy Allen, Hampshire medium pace allrounder Ian Holland, former Guyana Under-19 batsman Akshay Homraj, left-arm spinning allrounder Nisarg Patel and batsman Sagar Patel.

The three-month contracts are dated to begin on July 22 when all contracted players will fly to Los Angeles for the start of a three-week training camp at Woodley Park, the site of USA squad trials that were held last month.

The training camp is in preparation for the next round of 2020 T20 World Cup Qualifying, when USA travels to Bermuda to take on the host side, Canada and Cayman Islands in a double round-robin event from August 18-25.

The top two teams advance to the global T20 World Cup Qualifier in the UAE from October 11 to November 4.

Following the conclusion of the qualifier in Bermuda, USA's next action is their first home ODIs against Namibia and Papua New Guinea from September 7 to 14.

The series was originally announced by the ICC in May to be hosted at Church Street Park in the Raleigh, North Carolina suburb of Morrisville.

But USA Cricket officials have confirmed that Raleigh will no longer host the matches.

A new turf facility paid for by ACE funding which is nearing completion in the Silicon Valley town of Morgan Hill, California, is a leading candidate.

If the facility does not receive clearance from the ICC in time, then Woodley Park in Los Angeles is the most likely alternative.

The most recent international cricket to take place at Woodley was in November 2016 when USA hosted WCL Division Four.

ACE hired a full-time groundsman for Woodley Park in June, brought in from India, to get the pitches at the facility back into suitable condition.

After the completion of USA's home ODIs in September, all USA contracted players who are not part of CPL squads are expected to be flown to Bangalore for another three-week camp at India's National Cricket Academy.

The camp will serve as their final preparation for the T20 World Cup Qualifier in the UAE in October.

USA Cricket 12-month contracts: Aaron Jones, Xavier Marshall, Monank Patel, Jessy Singh, Steven Taylor.

USA Cricket three-month contracts: Timroy Allen, Karima Gore, Ian Holland, Akshay Homraj, Elmore Hutchinson, Nosthush Kenjige, Jaskaran Malhotra, Saurabh Netravalkar, Nisarg Patel, Sagar Patel, Timil Patel, Rusty Theron.

The figure was a count of everyone who had completed the program, including people whose "drug" exposure was infrequent use of alcoholic drinks or prescription drugs.

A Church of Scientology advert claiming that its programmes had "salvaged" 250,000 people from drug abuse has been censured by the Advertising Standards Authority as unproved, following a complaint by the Church of England.

The ruling related to a poster coinciding with a campaign run two years ago by the church.

In effect it claimed that the church had saved all those who had completed its drug programmes.

It did not mention that its definition of drug use included an occasional alcoholic drink or prescription medicine, and exposure to chemical toxins.

The ASA judgment said: "The authority accepted that the ... programmes ... had enabled many people to overcome a dependency on drugs but was concerned that the advertisers had not proved that all those enrolled were dependent on street or prescription drugs at the time of enrolment, or that as many as 250,000 drug users had stopped ... as a direct result of Scientology's intervention."

A Church of England spokesman said: "The truth is Scientology makes claims for their dangerous cult which they can neither prove nor substantiate.

Drug users trying to kick the habit are vulnerable.

This makes them perfect prey for cults."

Graeme Wilson, the Scientologists' spokesman, said: "The success of the ... programmes to help drug addicts ... has been acknowledged by the ASA following an investigation which lasted longer than a year."

Hubbard claims to have been the discoverer of the "acid flashback" phenomenon, in which LSD is said to lodge itself in tissues and re-enter the bloodstream years later. He claims to have made this discovery "In the 1970s, working with cases of individuals who had been drug users". (pg. 23, 1990 hardcover edition)
 Scientology's official website says of the book:
  "Pesticides, solar radiation, drug and environmental toxins have become increasingly pervasive in today’s society. They damage not just your health, but your personality and your ability to think clearly. "Clear Body, Clear Mind -'The Effective Purification Program'", by L. Ron Hubbard, details his groundbreaking discoveries in this field. Discover the world’s only all-natural, proven program to eliminate drug and toxic residues lodged in the fatty tissues of your body. Over 250,000 have done this program with spectacular success." [1] The claim of "Over 250,000" successes drew censure from the UK's Advertising Standards Authority.

# Nevada AG candidate Aaron Ford arrested 4 times in 1990s

Nevada Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, was arrested four times in Texas in the 1990s for public intoxication, stealing tires and twice for failing to appear in court — once for a speeding ticket and once for a theft charge.

By Ramona Giwargis Las Vegas Review-Journal

Nevada Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, was arrested four times in Texas in the 1990s for public intoxication, stealing tires and twice for failing to appear in court.

POLICE INCIDENT REPORT; CLICK TO ENLARGE

The longtime senator also was investigated for trespassing into his now ex-girlfriend's home, documents show.

The documents, first obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday, detail several years of legal troubles for Ford in his early 20s.

The revelations come a week after the Review-Journal reported that Ford owed more than $185,000 in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

Ford on Friday acknowledged making bad decisions in his youth and said he has learned from his mistakes.

"I obviously made some bad decisions, but college kids make bad decisions," he said.

It's part of what makes me so passionate for what I fight for.

I don't want the first 20 years of my life to be the judge of what's happened the last 25 years of my life."

According to records, Texas authorities issued an arrest warrant for Ford in October 1994 after he skipped arraignment on a misdemeanor theft charge.

Ford was arrested in June that year and accused of stealing $20 to $200 worth of tires in Brazos County.

His bail was set for $10,000, documents show.

Ford, 46, was arrested on the warrant in December 1994 and arraigned in February 1995.

The records show Ford eventually made restitution and the case was dismissed.

In 1993, the senator was investigated by the City of College Station Police Department for criminal trespassing after he allegedly entered a Texas woman's home "without her permission."

Ford was not arrested and no criminal charges were filed.

The woman, Stephanie Ybarra, is the mother of Ford's son and reportedly told officers she did not allow him to enter her home, according to an incident report.

The City of College Station denied a public records request for the full report, providing just the first page.

Officials said they withheld the records because the police investigation did not result in a conviction.

Ford also was arrested by Texas A&M University police in 1991 and charged with public intoxication.

He was arrested again the following year when police responded to a "disturbance" at his apartment in Bryan, Texas.

Ford said his college friends were partying before officers responded to the home.

A routine check showed a warrant stemming from Ford's failure to appear for a speeding ticket.

Though Ford's arrests are more than two decades old when he was in his early 20s, political opponents say the information is relevant because Ford is running for attorney general — the state's top law enforcement official.

"Four criminal arrests are a pretty serious revelation for someone running to be Nevada's top law enforcement officer," said John Vick, campaign manager for Ford's Republican opponent Wes Duncan.

Tyler, a former Democrat, was expelled from the Whig Party after vetoing bills passed by the Whig congressional majority to reestablish a national bank and raise tariffs.

(meta data) TITLE: John Tyler: Domestic Affairs | Miller Center

John Tyler's very first presidential decision was his wisest and most far-reaching.

He waved off all talk of his being a "temporary" President, claimed that the Constitution gave him the full and unqualified powers of the office, and had himself sworn in immediately.

Though he drew wide criticism for this, it was by far his greatest contribution to the nation.

His assertion set a critical precedent and paved the way for future orderly transfers of power after the deaths of Presidents Taylor, Lincoln, McKinley, Franklin Roosevelt, and Kennedy.

Enemies might sneer at Tyler as "His Accidency," supposed Whig allies might snarl at his usurpation, letters might flood the White House addressed to "Acting President Tyler"—all were returned unopened—but his famous stubborn streak held firm.

His second decision was as ill-advised as his first had been inspired.

Fearful of appearing disrespectful to Harrison, Tyler retained the dead man's entire cabinet, including several jealous Whigs who openly seethed at Tyler's takeover.

The party's real leader, Henry Clay, had been the power behind the Harrison throne, and Clay assumed Tyler would allow the same.

When he told Tyler that Harrison had let major policy decisions be resolved by cabinet vote, Tyler would have none of it and offered to accept the resignations of any secretaries who couldn't accept his leadership.

"I, as president, shall be responsible for my administration," he told the cabinet.

When you think otherwise, your resignation will be accepted."

Clay, who had unsuccessfully sought the presidency on several occasions, was furious.

The new President had no allies in the cabinet.

Within weeks, relations between Congress and the President had descended to mutual loathing.

Tyler called a special session of Congress.

A bill resurrecting the Bank of the United States—the same national bank that had been dismantled by Jackson—was sent to Tyler's desk.

While the President had little love for Jackson or his beliefs, Tyler considered the bill unconstitutional.

Clinging to his cherished states' rights doctrine, he questioned the right of a federal government to operate such an institution in a state that might not want it there.

The cabinet urged him to sign it, but Tyler used his power of veto.

Congress passed another bill with language they hoped would appease the President, but Tyler vetoed it as well.

Except for Secretary of State Daniel Webster, the entire cabinet resigned in protest.

Enraged Whig leaders denounced the President as a traitor and expelled him from the party two days later in a declaration published in newspapers throughout the nation.

The Whigs demanded that he resign, to be succeeded by the Whig President Pro Tem of the Senate under existing succession law.

#### Exercising His Constitutional Powers

Conservative Democrats were pressed into service to take over the cabinet, but they came and went with distressing frequency.

The second year of Tyler's presidency was as rocky as the first.

Congress passed two bills calling for higher tariffs; he vetoed them both.

His old party, the Whigs, began impeachment proceedings even after Tyler signed a tariff bill worded to his liking.

Vindictive and purely political, the impeachment proposal was bottled up in Congress, though Tyler was censured by a select committee dominated by Whigs.

Ironically, Tyler demonstrated that a President without popular or party support could exercise Jacksonian types of exclusive powers and privileges.

The Whigs could not get their national bank, their high tariff, or their distribution bill to give the proceeds of the sale of public lands to the states for internal improvements.

Henry Clay proposed a constitutional amendment so that Congress could override the President's vetoes by a majority vote.

Neither this amendment nor proposals to impeach Tyler could pass Congress.

Tyler could not set domestic policy, but he demonstrated that a President willing to exercise his constitutional powers could block a congressional majority from doing so as well.

Amidst these troubles in his administration, Tyler had to deal with personal tragedies as well.

His wife, Letitia, had been ill for some time, and in September of 1842, she died from a stroke.

After just five months, he began courting the most beautiful and sought-after socialite in Washington, D.C., Julia Gardiner.

Julia was twenty-two, thirty years the President's junior and younger than some of his seven children; the match distressed several of them.

The difference between their ages and the unusual circumstances in which they met (see First Lady section for details), fueled the capital press for some time.

Texas had declared its independence from Mexico five years before Tyler came to power.

The President hoped to draw support for a new political party that he was attempting to form by leading a drive to annex Texas and make it a state.

Mexico, however, still considered Texas its own and threatened war if the United States interfered.

Also troubling to many Americans was the prospect of yet another slave state upsetting the sectional balance in Congress.

But Tyler—slave owner, states' rights champion, and man without a party—saw Texas as his ticket back to political respectability.

His new party, the Democratic Republicans, used "Tyler and Texas!" as their slogan.

The President, however, made a serious tactical error that ruined the scheme.

In 1844, for his new secretary of state, he appointed John C. Calhoun, the South Carolina firebrand who had led his state's secession movement over the tariff question during the Jackson years.

Since Texas was still another nation, negotiations to secure its statehood fell to Calhoun, and his blatant proslavery views made abolitionists uneasy.

His message to Congress contained a long, eloquent defense of slavery.

Martin Van Buren, eager to avenge his loss to "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," deployed his patented skills at backstage political maneuvering to doom the annexation treaty.

The proposal for statehood failed to pass in the Senate, even with Andrew Jackson's vocal support.

Tyler was determined to make the Texas question the focus of his reelection bid and submitted a joint resolution that needed only a majority vote in the House and Senate, which it got.

Tyler signed the Texas statehood bill into law on the first day of March 1845, just three days before leaving office.

Congress relished directing a final insult at the President.

On Tyler's last day in office, it overrode his veto of a minor bill to fund some small ships for the government.

It was the first override of a presidential veto in American history.

Secretary of State.:Appointment and the Annexation of Texas.

When Harrison died in 1841 after a month in office, Vice President John Tyler succeeded him.


Setting out shortly after Christmas, he met with abbot Hugh of Cluny at Besançon, where he was joined by the young monk Hildebrand, who afterwards became Pope Gregory VII; arriving in pilgrim garb at Rome in the following February, he was received with much cordiality, and at his consecration assumed the name Leo IX.

##### Leo IX (Bruno von Egisheim und Dagsburg), Pope

Pope Leo IX was the first pope who worked for reform in the Church.

He was born in 1002 and given the name Bruno at Baptism.

He was educated at a school for the children of Germany's royal families and taught by the bishop of his diocese.

As a priest, Father Bruno served at the cathedral before being named bishop of Toul.

Twenty years later, Bruno was appointed pope, but he would not accept leadership over the Church until being approved by the priests, bishops, and people of Rome.

After the long journey, Bishop Bruno arrived in the holy city barefoot and dressed as a simple traveler.

He was greeted by cheers at his humble manner and was immediately accepted by everyone as the new Holy Father.

Leo quickly called attention to two issues badly in need of reform: simony, the buying and selling of sacred offices and things; and the practice of priestly celibacy.

Some men had actually paid money to be appointed bishops.

Leo quickly removed these false successors to the Apostles and appointed men who truly had the gifts necessary to lead a diocese.

Other men simply ignored the Church's tradition of priestly celibacy.

Their family responsibilities made it difficult for them to serve their parish or diocese with all their hearts.

Pope Leo did not just write letters or give sermons to announce his reforms.

He traveled to major dioceses to conduct meetings and discuss why the reforms were necessary.

He traveled so much that he was nicknamed the "Apostolic Pilgrim."

Leo also appointed men who believed in the reforms to important Church positions.

Leo knew that the changes he wanted would not be accomplished in his lifetime.

He trusted the men he appointed to carry out the needed reforms and they did.

He died in 1054, and Pope Leo's mission to reform the Church reminds us that we sometimes stray away from living as Jesus wants us to live.

We need help to begin again to live as followers of Christ.

We can receive that help through prayer, through the Sacraments, through the presence of the Holy Spirit, and through the guidance of the leaders of our Church.

On the death of Pope Damasus II in 1048, Bruno was selected as his successor by an assembly at Worms in December. Both the Emperor and the Roman delegates concurred. However, Bruno apparently favored a canonical election and stipulated as a condition of his acceptance that he should first proceed to Rome and be freely elected by the voice of the clergy and people of Rome.
