petite. Short, with curly brown hair and a cheery disposition, it's hard to tell that she can squat 397 pounds until you see her in gym clothes. Her thighs are made of sculpted muscle and her arms have zero fat on them. An Aurora middle-school teacher, she often arrives at the gym still wearing mascara, eyeliner and earrings. Her nails are manicured, but her knees are scarred from sports-related surgery.

"Dan and I had talked about putting on a world championship before, for a couple years," Jennifer says. The two had been hosting national meets for a while, but, as Dan explains, putting on an international meet is different. "It's very important to have a partnership with communities," Dan explains. He'd tried before, inquiring with the Metro Denver SportsCommission about supporting a bid, but he got nowhere.

"To be honest, Denver is looking at bigger fish to fry," Dan says. "Denver's got four major-league sports teams. They look at NBA All-Star games, Major League Baseball — so they're not looking at, we're going to have 200 athletes from around the world come here to compete in powerlifting."

But Aurora was. Wheat and his staff of two jumped at the chance to lure the world's strongest men and women to their city. They began talking to local hotels big enough to house the event and, together with Aurora Channel 8, put together a two-minute video that splices scenic shots of Aurora with footage from Gaudreau's gym. In November, Visit Aurora sent a representative to the Czech Republic with Gaudreau


to present a bid to the International Powerlifting Federation. The Gaudreaus were after the 2014 Men's and Women's Open World Championships, the big kahuna of powerlifting tournaments. But at the last minute, they also bid on the 2012 World Masters Bench Press Championships, a competition for athletes over forty years old. Aurora was granted both tournaments.

They were the first big events that Visit Aurora helped land, and they'll be the first world championships of any kind hosted in the city. Having representatives from Aurora in the Czech Republic to support the bid sealed the deal, the Gaudreaus say.

"When the IPF saw the presentation they put on about Aurora...," Dan starts.

"And that Aurora paid to have them to go out there to do it...," Jennifer interjects.

"They were impressed," Danpeople, so the restaurants like them."

So do the bars. On a chilly Wednesday afternoon, Wheat, Gaudreau and Visit Aurora marketing director Briley Peters meet with John Fenstermacher, manager of the Stampede, an enormous country bar on the edge of town. Sunlight streams through the dance hall's big windows, illuminating the deflated mechanical bull and the circular dance floor. The clinking of beer bottles echoes as bartenders stock up for the night, and the smell of cooking grease hangs in the air. Fenstermacher leads the Visit Aurora contingent to a table on the second floor, which overlooks the dance floor.

"I'm trying to figure out who the weightlifter is here," he says. Fenstermacher, who's hardly a cowboy, points to Gaudreau, who's dressed in work boots, a T-shirt and jeans, a


this is what they're going to think of," he says. "Their eyes are going to open wide when they see them going around the dance floor."

At the end of twenty minutes, everyone shakes hands. "We're going to throw one hell of a party," Fenstermacher says. For Wheat, however, it's about more than just a single night of fun. The meeting gives him an opportunity to meet Fenstermacher face to face, which his how Wheat likes to do business, and assure him that Visit Aurora has big plans. "We'll be coming back to you with the fruits of our sales," he promises.

In 2011, those fruits equated to 12,055 new "room nights," which is how visitors' bureaus nationwide measure their success. A room night is a one-night stay at ahotel, and it's counted by the year in which the event is booked. For example, Visit Denver's new-room-night total for 2011 was a whopping 640,995, though that includes nights connected with events booked as far in advance as 2031, says spokesman Rich Grant.

Aurora's 12,055 new room nights can be attributed to several new events attracted by the three-person team at Visit Aurora — Wheat, marketing director Peters and sales director Kate Bleakley — mostly through shmoozing meeting planners and event coordinators nationwide. The new events include: the Senior Softball U.S.A. Western National Championships, a tournament for men over 50 and women over 45, which will take place in early August at the Aurora Sports Park; and the USSSA Baseball West Coast Global World Series, a youth baseball tournament


slated for late July. (It should be noted that USSSA Baseball's website lists the tournament's location as Denver.)

And while they're not yet booking events twenty years out like Visit Denver, Visit Aurora has started on 2013 with the annual convention for the American Cichlid Association. This confab of freshwater-fish-lovers will draw upwards of 500 people — and their cichlids, some shipped in boxes labeled "Live Tropical Fish," others driven (carefully!) in tanks — from around the country. Similar to the genesis of the powerlifting tournaments, the convention's path to Aurora started with a fanatic.

Bob Grauer lives with his wife, their cat and thousands of fish (he doesn't know exactly how many) in a well-appointed house in southeast Denver, three miles from the Aurora border. But don't make themistake of assuming he lives in the suburb. "This isn't technically Denver," he says when asked about where he lives. "It is Denver."

His testiness is somewhat understandable. Aurora, he says, doesn't have the best reputation, a phenomenon he attributes to "the gangs" and the Denver newspapers, which he says write about Aurora only when someone gets murdered. Though civic boosters are quick to point out that crime doesn't happen as often in Aurora as it does in, ahem, Denver, there's a perception that the city is dangerous; after all, all three of Colorado's death-row inmates committed their crimes in Aurora, and the city is also home to more accused terrorists — Najibullah Zazi, Jamshid Muhtorov — than you'd expect from a ho-hum suburb in a square state in


the middle of the country.

"I've been here a lot of years," Grauer says. "When people think of Aurora anymore, they don't think good things."

So when Grauer and a fellow fish enthusiast set about finding a hotel to host the 2013 convention (this year's gathering is in Indianapolis in July), they mostly looked in Denver. It wasn't easy, he says. "Some hotels didn't even bother to get back to us." Then, someone — he can't remember who — recommended he give Visit Aurora a call. Soon, Wheat's staff had generated a list of hotels that fit Grauer's criteria: cheap rooms and enough space to set up hundreds of freshwater fish tanks. "It was almost like they were our eyes," he says of Visit Aurora. "They made our lives easier."

NowGrauer can concentrate on what he does best: breeding cichlids, a family of fish made up of more than 1,300 species, the most famous of which are angelfish. He first got into fish about forty years ago, after admiring a friend's tank. By the time he got divorced from his first wife, he had seven or eight tanks of his own, which he gave away to schools when he was forced to downsize. Grauer rekindled his love for cichlids when he married his current wife, who suggested that "a fish tank would be nice." Soon, Grauer had tanks in every room of the house, a menagerie he eventually moved to the basement. "This is the best hobby I could have," he says. And how does he justify it


tank. "See that one? He's dressed up for Saturday night." And he takes his hobby seriously: He never names his fish, and if a fish is deformed or sick, he kills it so it doesn't spoil the gene pool.

That's not to say he doesn't love them. Standing in front of a tank full of shiny blue-and-orange fish, he coos, "I could sit in front of this tank and space out all day."

*****

Aside from counting room nights, it can be tough to quantify Visit Aurora's success. One way would be in enthusiasm, which has grown over Visit Aurora's short life span. At first, city officials, businesspeople and even hotel managers admit, they were skeptical.

"We're not known as a tourist destination," says Dick Hinson, the senior vice president of theAurora Economic Development Council. When the city announced it was launching Visit Aurora, he says, "a lot of people's first reaction was, 'Really?'"

Kevin DeLange, who owns Dry Dock Brewing, thought the same thing. When Wheat asked him, the city's only independent brewer, to sit on Visit Aurora's board, DeLange admits he was hesitant. "I honestly didn't think of Aurora as a destination location," he says. "I figure since we're so far away from the mountains...in the metro area, we're on the far side to the east.... I needed education, I guess. And after sitting in on a couple of board meetings and seeing what the focus was, then it made a lot of sense, and I was surprised that they hadn't had an organization like this longer."

Hinson has


come around, too. "These guys know what they're doing," he says.

Most agree that the big difference is the level of professional expertise. If Aurora's goal is to bring in dollars through the city's lodgers' tax, then Wheat and the other staff members are the carnival barkers touting — and shouting — the city's strengths in order to draw tourists and, as city officials sometimes say, "put heads in beds."

"There are literally dozens upon dozens upon dozens of medical conferences every year that go on someplace else. We need to bring them to Aurora," says Mayor Steve Hogan, who served on the city council on and off for thirty years before he was elected mayor last year. "We have an active military base — Buckley Air Force Base —a brand-new Hampton Inn & Suites by the Denver International Airport. The airport sits on a chunk of land east of Denver that was annexed by the city but is actually closer to most of Aurora. Several Aurora hotels, including Birckenstaedt's, cater to fliers.

"When Gary and company came on board, we could feel it immediately," he says. "In the past, it was scattershot. Now we get the phone calls."

Another of Visit Aurora's accomplishments is its website, which took a year to get up and running. Cheery and interactive, its design is better than that of Visit Denver, even if its featured events aren't as world-class. The website lists 560 Aurora restaurants, highlighting those that are independently owned and ethnic — which are a lot, due to Aurora's diversity


hospitals when their local health-care facility has outcomes that are just as good. But with Visit Aurora, the idea is more like traditional marketing: to attract people from outside the city to the impressive medical facilities built on the site of the former Army hospital, the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital, as well as the Medical Center of Aurora.

To do that, Market Staging is using the Internet. With data purchased from the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, the tech gurus there can discern where people with certain illnesses live. Then, through the magic of keywords and other search-engine trickery, they can ensure that Aurora hospitals show up high in the results when a person Googles that particular malady. The test case is a lung condition knownto make Vail the city's "official ski destination," and in return, Vail Valley has promised to direct its out-of-state visitors to stay at Aurora hotels near DIA on their way in and out.

Visit Aurora also has a hand in helping the Aurora Arts District, which has struggled to find its identity and attract visitors. The group plans to make the district's few theaters and art galleries the focus of its next "webisode," a short promo video posted on the website. (The first was about Dry Dock Brewing.) And Visit Aurora supports efforts to bring more attractions to town, such as the Colorado Freedom Memorial, a planned monument to the state's fallen soldiers, and a proposed 1,500-room hotel and conference center that Tennessee-based Gaylord Entertainment wants to build in


the city.

Former mayor Ed Tauer, who helmed the city for eight years immediately following his father Paul's sixteen-year term, compared its potential impact to that of Denver establishing the Colorado Rockies baseball team. The Aurora City Council has already granted the Gaylord project $300 million in incentives, but Aurora is still seeking $85 million in state subsidies to make the mega-project feasible. Last year, there was talk that the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, which needs more space, could relocate to Aurora to be next to the hotel. But that option seems off the table for now, with Mayor Hogan insisting that the city isn't trying to steal the Stock Show from Denver.

Stock Show or not, Aurora's clout seems to be growing. The city, which is splitbetween Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, will finally have a single representative in Congress after the most recent redistricting effort. "The City of Aurora...generates a good deal of the metro area's economic development activity," wrote Denver District Judge Robert Hyatt, who oversaw the changes. "It has major regional facilities, including a military base and a medical research facility; it has its own law enforcement and fire departments; it is a leader in bridging metropolitan water solutions. Given that, and because there is no advantage to Aurora to have its Congressional representation divided, it must be made whole."

While Visit Aurora hopes the attention from the next congressional election will boost the city's profile, those decisions are out of its hands. Wheat and his crew mostly concentrate on the day-to-day,


which can involve a lot of grunt work. On a recent sunny Thursday, Wheat and Bleakley packed Wheat's ten-year-old Honda Pilot with boxes full of Aurora's new dining guide, called YUM, which lists over 150 of the city's independently owned and ethnic restaurants, categorized by cuisine. Also in Wheat's trunk was a case of beer. DeLange, of Dry Dock, bottled some of his award-winning hefeweizen for Visit Aurora's one-year anniversary, and Peters designed the label: a photo of fireworks over the city.

Wheat and Bleakley spent the afternoon delivering a box of dining guides and a commemorative beer to a half-dozen hotels, taking the opportunity to shake each manager's hand and chat for a minute in the process. "Hey, boss!" Wheat says when they arrive at the tropical-feeling HiltonGarden Inn. Gian Gandolfo, the hotel's general manager, also happens to be the chairman of Visit Aurora's board of directors. In it since the beginning, Gandolfo says Visit Aurora has put a face on a previously faceless city.

And it's not stopping now, he says. No longer will visitors assume Aurora is in Illinois. No longer will residents tell outsiders that they're from Denver, a fate the authors of Aurora: Gateway to the Rockies predicted in 1985. "More and more people will come to see themselves as living not in Denver," the last sentence of the book says, "but in Aurora, one of the two principal constituents of the Aurora/Denver metropolitan area."

"Everyone is ready," Gandolfo says. "The stars have aligned."


Professor Barry Weingast is one of the world leading scholars in institutional economics, a field that studies how human institutions affect economic behavior. Trained as a political scientist and an economist, he is a professor at Stanford University and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, a public policy think tank promoting the ideas of individual, economic and political freedom.

Throughout his career, Weingast has conducted extensive research in the application of rational choice theory to legal, legislative and constitutional institutions. His work was very influential in my thinking about decentralized justice, in particular, the seminal article titled “The Role of Institutions in the Revival of Trade: the Law Merchant, Private Judges and the Champagne Fairs” he coauthored with Nobel Memorial Prize laureate, Douglass C. North, and Paul Milgrom,an economist and game theorist at Stanford University.

This paper analyzes the work of medieval merchant guilds and the ways they provided security by developing trade relations and securing merchants’ property rights. This article presents one of the deep roots of Kleros and the future of decentralized marketplaces, so we sat down one day to discuss how these two concepts intertwine.

I started out studying the politics and economics of regulation in the United States. I moved on to broader topics at the intersection of economics, law, politics, and history as I became


providing a system of private law…

We were interested in the question about the rise of trade. In particular, why was trade so slow getting restarted after the fall of the Roman Empire? At the time we wrote, historians argued that an important role was played by the Law Merchant.1 I think we wanted to have a sense of how trade could work in the absence of territorial-nation-states with extensive territories.

There were governments in the Middle Ages, but they were ineffective, what we today call "low state capacity". The king was up against the great lords, sometimes called "the barons" in English history, and the barons were often almost as powerful as the king; and sometimes even more powerful than the king. So, the king could not impose hisan organization: a merchant guild comprised of the merchants from a given city. The guild was jointly liable for the behavior of their members – if one of them were to cheat and disappear, the other guild members were responsible for making good on his contracts, debts, and any judgments against the merchant who absconded after defrauding a local merchant.

This system of joint liability, in turn, gave the guilds the incentives to police who among them got to trade in their name. To trade, a merchant had to be part of a merchant guild and not everyone could do that. The guild closely controlled its membership. To become a member, a merchant had to have local property that could be confiscated; and typically the merchant’s family would remain

For example, during the bitter campaigns of the 1980s and 1990s to decriminalise male homosexuality in Tasmania and Western Australia, religious groups and anti-gay campaigners would frequently claim that the criminal laws were not being used, so there was no need to change the law. The law, they argued, was needed simply because it had, ''a residual educative impact''. The Gillard government has grovelled to the religious right to take a big step backwards. This so-called residual educative impact meant that many gay men lived in fear for their jobs, careers and welfare – a form of psychological oppression that contributed to and still contributes to, higher rates of drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness and suicide among gay males.

This very same systemic


homophobia has now shifted to the gay law reform issue in front of us. Let's be clear about this: the main purpose of these special rights being claimed by religious groups is about keeping fear alive, forcing employees and those in their charge to be closeted, insecure, vulnerable and labelled as defective. And all with federal government sanction. It's also about the ongoing push by the religious right to define homosexuality as behaviour and to prevent it being protected as an innate part of a person's identity, as is gender and colour. As such, gay people are an understandable target for discrimination. Unless of course they're in a nursing home.

They feed on the juices of the cacti plant, especially the prickly pear cacti.

After adult Cochineal bugs mate, males usually die after fertilizing the eggs.
Females lay their eggs which are attached to her body and then die. Nymphs hatch and begin the molting and feeding process.
Female nymphs often remain in one place after their first molt. Juveniles produce long wax filaments that are picked up by the wind and dispersed to other host plants where they begin feeding and mating.

While eating, adult females produce a type of acid that helps to deter predators.
The predators of the cochineal bug are pyralid moths, lady
bugs, lace wings, parasitic wasps, rats, reptiles and birds.

Actor Cirroc Lofton (born 7 August 1978; age 42) played the regular role of Jake Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, beginning in 1993. While Lofton was a regular cast member throughout all seven seasons of Deep Space Nine, he only appeared in 71 of its 173 episodes.

Contents show]

Personal life

Lofton is the nephew of former Major League Baseball player Kenny Lofton. [1]

Cirroc Lofton lives in Culver City, California and in 2011 married longtime girlfriend Sarah, but they divorced in 2015. Together they have a daughter. [2]

Interviewed for the documentary What We Left Behind, Lofton stated that Avery Brooks treated him not only like his television son, but like his real-life son, a relationship that has continued since theseries ended.

Career

Star Trek

Lofton was cast in 1992 for the role of Jake Sisko. Lofton is the youngest person ever to appear as a regular on a Star Trek series. He was only 14 years and a few weeks old when he filmed his first scenes for the DS9 pilot, "Emissary".

During the run of Deep Space Nine, Lofton reflected about being African-American and the negative aspect of working in Hollywood: "I've been patted down. It's almost like a way of life – it's nothing new for me or my friends. The worst thing is you can get used to it. Sometimes they won't let me on the Paramount lot. One time I lost my employee card, and they were harassing me: 'Well, do you work here?' – and this


is the fifth season now. I've been working there since I was 14! It really irritates and annoys me that I'm being harassed only because I'm a kid of color. And there's no doubt about that". (Vibe Magazine 1997)

Although he watched the original Star Trek series and was a fan, Lofton prefers The Twilight Zone.

In 2004, he appeared in the documentary Trekkies 2, hosted by Denise Crosby, and in 2007 in the web-based fan film mini-series Star Trek: Of Gods and Men. Directed by Tim Russ (who also appears in the series as Tuvok), the series also stars fellow Trek veterans Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, Grace Lee Whitney, Garrett Wang, Alan Ruck, Gary Graham, Lawrence Montaigne, Arlene Martel, Celeste Yarnall, Jack Donner, Crystal Allen, and Lofton's DS9 co-actorsJ.G. Hertzler and Chase Masterson.

He also appeared in the fan series Star Trek: Renegades and the subsequent Renegades, which followed the same basic premise, but had its overt Star Trek-theme removed due to legal complications. Both again featured a number of other Star Trek-alumni, including Walter Koenig, Terry Farrell, Robert Beltran, Nichelle Nichols, Gary Graham, Aron Eisenberg, Manu Intiraymi, Tim Russ, Hana Hatae and Tracee Lee Cocco.

Television

As a child, Lofton appeared in 1989 in the educational program Econ and Me. During the run of DS9, he voiced two characters in the 1993 television movie The Magic Paintbrush, which also featured John Rhys-Davies and Robert Ito. He also appeared in 1996 in an episode of Moesha and in two episodes of Smart Guy in 1997 and 1998.

Soon after DS9


ended, he was a main cast member on The Hoop Life, which aired in 1999 and 2000.

Two years after DS9 ended, he guest-starred in 2001 as Anthony Carter in the Soul Food episodes "Nice Work if You Can Get It" and "Come Back for the Comeback". The former episode was directed by LeVar Burton and starred James Avery as a relation of Lofton's character. Vanessa Williams was a regular on this series.

In 2003, he guest-starred in an episode of 7th Heaven, starring Star Trek film actors Catherine Hicks and Stephen Collins. In 2006, he appeared in the TV series Invasion, alongside fellow DS9 star Armin Shimerman and Star Trek: Voyager guest star Ivar Brogger. The following year, he made an appearance on CSI: Miami.

He recently appeared in a2018 episode of All American.

Film

Prior to DS9, Lofton appeared in the 1992 movie Beethoven. After the end of DS9, in 2004 he performed in the motion picture Fronterz. He then had a role in the 2008 independent feature I'm Through with White Girls (The Inevitable Undoing of Jay Brooks), starring Star Trek: Enterprise's Anthony Montgomery in the title role. The same year, he appeared in Ball Don't Lie.

Dear Senator :
In my letter to you of September 18, I proposed that the Eastern
Wilderness Areas Bill, S. 316, provide for the completion of the Robbinsville
- Tellico Plains Highway in North Carolina by excluding a corridor
in the Slickrock area fron'l wilderness designation.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has recently
completed negotiations which resulted in its agreen1ent to a plan to
complete the highway along an alternate route which would not require
any special provision in S. 316. This alternate route, which runs along
Santeetlah Creek south of the proposed Kilmer-Slickrock wilderness area,
has beententatively accepted by the Federal Highway Administration and
by those parties who have opposed the construction of the highway through
Slickrock.
It also appears that community leaders in Graham County, North
Carolina, the area affected by the :;.ighway, will accept this alternate
route in the interest of ending the delay in completion of the road.
Since all governmental units concerned and the local citizens
affected have reached agreement on the alternate route for the highway,
I withdraw my request for a provision in S. 316 which would allow construction
of the road along the original route.
I greatly appreciate the cooperation and consideration I have
received fron'l you, the other members of the Committee, and the
Committee Staff in my efforts to resolve the objections of rny constituents
to some n-ovisions of this bill. Thank you ve1·y much for your kind

Wilderness Areas Bill, S. 316, provide for the completion of the Robbinsville
- Tellico Plains Highway in North Carolina by excluding a corridor
in the Slickrock area fron'l wilderness designation.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has recently
completed negotiations which resulted in its agreen1ent to a plan to
complete the highway along an alternate route which would not require
any special provision in S. 316. This alternate route, which runs along
Santeetlah Creek south of the proposed Kilmer-Slickrock wilderness area,
has been tentatively accepted by the Federal Highway Administration and
by those parties who have opposed the construction of the highway through
Slickrock.

Amanda Bennett and her three children were found dead in their home in the small town of Austin, Indiana Friday. For days, Bennett had posted about her marital problems on a local message board, much to the delight of readers.

The bodies of Bennett and her children, 14-year-old Jasmine, 9 year-old Katelynn and 4-year-old Ryan, were found on Friday in their house, which had been partially burned. The causes of death have been determined to be a combination of gunshot wounds and smoke inhalation; one neighbor told CNN Bennett shot her kids then herself.

Bennett's mindset could possibly be seen in a post she's suspected of making on a publicly-accessible local message board hosted by Topix on Friday. (Click to Enlarge.)

This was the last of dozens of anguished posts inwhich Amanda Bennett detailed her ongoing divorce from her husband, John Bennett, using the handle "his wife." The messages were posted in a thread devoted to workplace gossip at Versatech, the factory where John worked.

Amanda started posting after catching John's coworkers dishing about an affair he was allegedly having with another coworker. On January 9th, user Employee wrote: "John Bennett and Jan [redacted] need to quit messing with each other they are both married and she is old." Other employees quickly weighed in. "Yes, they do," wrote Corn Fed. Mind Your Own Business took John's side, arguing that Amanda Bennett was a "psycho" and "what goes around comes around."

"Glad you all want in are buisness," Amanda wrote the next day. "So he been yelling all that I cheated

Voltage Pictures, the movie's owner, has been trying to sue Canadians over its unauthorized sharing since 2011. In 2016 it sued 50,000 Canadian John Does in a reverse class-action lawsuit, in which a large entity or corporation sues a group of people, instead of the other way around.

They sought a court order in 2016 to force Rogers Communications to name a single one of those John Does.

Story highlights The Defense Intelligence Agency deleted and apologized for a tweet critical of China

The tweet linked to a report about disputes over press access at the G20 meeting

Washington (CNN) A United States spy agency is apologizing for a tweet that jabbed at China over its treatment of American reporters who had traveled with President Barack Obama to cover the G20 meeting there.

"Classy as always China," the Defense Intelligence Agency tweeted Saturday from its @DefenseIntel account.

The Pentagon-housed spy agency on Sunday apologized, tweeting: "Earlier today, a tweet regarding a news article was mistakenly posted from this account & does not represent the views of DIA. We apologize."

Earlier today, a tweet regarding a news article was mistakenly posted from this account & does not represent the views of DIA.We apologize. — DIA (@DefenseIntel) September 4, 2016

The initial tweet, which has since been deleted, included a link to a New York Times report about a dust-up over security protocols at the tarmac when Obama landed in China -- and later, shouting matches between Chinese officials and Secret Service agents at the West Lake State House, where Obama met Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The tiffs were largely over American journalists' access to Obama. Chinese officials unexpectedly limited reporters' access to the President.

according to the newspaper. The accepted candidates, who were sworn in last week, were made up of three Republicans and one person who isn't registered with a party but has voted in Republican primaries, the Post reported.

One candidate told the Post that candidates were required to submit links to their social media pages and say whether they had ever given a speech to Congress, spoken at a political convention, appeared on talk radio or published an opinion piece in either a conservative or liberal outlet.

Although the denied candidates weren't told why they were turned away, their rejections have caused concern among current and former officials in the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to the Post.

VA spokesman Curt Cashour told the Post that the rejections were part of aby either cutting school funding or raising taxes (or both). However, politicians are not above the law. They must live in the state and live with the consequences of their actions. The people elect politicians and can vote them out of office if sufficiently mobilized to do so.

Elizabeth Kübler-Ross defined the five stages of coming to terms with grief and tragedy as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, and applied it quite successfully to various forms of catastrophic personal loss, such as death of a loved one, sudden end to one's career, and so forth. Several thinkers, notably James Howard Kunstler and, more recently John Michael Greer, have pointed out that the Kübler-Ross model is also quite terrifyingly accurate in reflecting the process by which society as a whole (or at least the informed and thinking parts of it) is reconciling itself to the inevitability of a discontinuous future, with our institutions and life support systems undermined by a combination of

Is the Ali Watkins case the opening of Trump’s war on the press?

The Trump administration has made its contempt for the news media a mainstay of its political messaging, even while those same media assure him 24/7 public stardom on screens of all sizes. But apart from threats and sneers, the administration has done little to attack the media or its sources — nothing to rival the historic Obama administration record of nine leak prosecutions.

It was never likely that the administration’s inactionwas born of restraint. President Trump himself insisted he wanted the leaks stopped, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in August that the Justice Department had opened three times the leak investigations it inherited from President Barack Obama.

So it was only a matter of time, and it now looks as if the threatened assault on the news media has finally begun. The first person charged by the Trump administration with leaking classified information, Reality Winner, pleaded guilty in federal court last week. Another accused leaker, ex-FBI agent Terry Albury, pleaded guilty to two counts in April. They each face four to five years in prison.

But the case that has drawn the most attention from the media themselves — mainly because of the indications that a reporter and source

Cruz stood shoeless on stage, his tortured face caked with white makeup. He was playing the role of Adam in a stage adaptation of the book of Genesis. Behind Cruz stood God, hanging his head. God was also a mime, and He had created a race of mimes in His own image.

Cruz has been described by those who met him in high school as a hard-charging transfer student whose gusto for answering questions in class was “intimidating.”

In his 2015 book, a Time for Truth, Cruz wrote that he’d made a conscious decision to become cool in junior high, and so undertook a study of how to

“Cruz loved being on stage, even if it meant being the villain,” NPR has reported, much to the surprise of no one. “In junior high school, he had played Rolfe, the young Nazi in The Sound of Music. He landed the role of the murderer Bill Sikes in Oliver during high school.”

Cruz transferred to Second Baptist High School in his junior year, when this photo was apparently taken. By the time he was a senior, he had taken over the drama club.

The River and Rail Theatre Company plans to transform 111 State Street, the former Cor-Tenn Company facility, into the Old City Performing Arts Center.

"There has been a hole for performing arts venues of this size both for theatre and for music," said Chyna Bracheen, the president of Attack Monkey Productions. Bracheen is working with the River and Rail Theatre Company as the center comes to fruition.

One of the main draws for the Old City Performing Arts Center is the versatility of its facility, according to Bracheen.

"There's a whole lot of calendarcomes first.

On May 10, the River and Rail Theatre Company is partnering with local businesses for "PAC the Old City." Proceeds at those businesses will help fund the construction.

The OliBea's Jeffrey DeAlejandro plans to donate 20 percent of sales on May 10.

"It totally matches what the Old City does," DeAlejandro said.

Both DeAlejandro and Bracheen said the theatre will attract people to come to the Old City and stay there.

"Hopefully you can spend a day of it," DeAlejandro said. "Maybe it's a whole event, have breakfast, go see a show, watch theatre, finish with some drinks."

month, Amtrak's California Zephyr, en route from Chicago to Emeryville, Calif., with 257 passengers and crew aboard, went off the track in Iowa shortly before midnight.

The derailment occurred in the area where a rail defect had been detected and patched, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

In December, more than 20 cars of an eastbound Norfolk Southern freight left the tracks, snarling rail traffic and forcing Amtrak to find alternate transportation for 1,000 passengers traveling between Chicago and New York. Local officials blamed the accident on a broken rail.

"If the railroads are doing well at their own inspections, then you don't really need a lot of inspections by the federal government," Moss said. "But none of those things seem to be the case right now."

Gavalla said deaths andinjuries along heavily used tracks are down since the FRA in 1998 began focusing on those routes. Between 1998 and 2000, there was one death and 45 injuries from accidents blamed on track problems, as compared to four deaths and 116 injuries during the previous three years.

The FRA began auditing one major railroad, CSX, after a series of derailments.

The agency found that the company reduced the number of inspectors and increased the amount of track the remaining employees had to cover. The FRA found that some CSX inspection reports "did not reflect the conditions" found by the agency's employees.

"The vast majority of track defects detected during the audit could have been detected and repaired with better track inspection and track maintenance practices," the FRA audit said.

The FRA has


come under fire as well. In January, the Department of Transportation inspector general, who is examining FRA's safety program, noted "shortfalls in ... enforcement of identified safety deficiencies, such as widespread track defects."

Acting Federal Railroad Administrator Mark Lindsey said the safety program was still a work in progress. "Like all programs of this nature, it continues to be refined as strengths and weaknesses are identified," he said.Redskins executive vice president Vinny Cerato called Vikings coach Brad Childress Tuesday and convinced him to trade James instead of releasing him. In exchange for James, the Vikings will receive a conditional seventh-round pick in 2009.

For the Vikings to receive the draft choice, James has to make the Redskins roster.

"He is young, talented and has a great deal of potential," Cerrato said.

The trade was made possible because of the holiday weekend. With no waiver wire on Friday because of the Memorial Day holiday, the Vikings couldn't process James' release until 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

Over the weekend several teams made inquiries to James' agents about putting in a waiver claim on the injured defensive end.

The Redskins were forced to act because offseason waiver claims are processed in reverse order


of a team's record from the previous season, meaning 20 teams had priority over the Redskins. By making the conditional trade, the Redskins controlled James' rights.

James has had three surgeries on his left knee and has missed 24 games over the past two seasons. The Redskins believe James is 90 percent healed from his most recent surgery and would have a chance to be healthy by the start of the regular season.

So I retired again, and spent all week with Ellie again instead of just weekends. Soon, however, the wanderlust hit me. After a month or so at home with my gorgeous ex-fiancée, I took a job helping finish up the building of an aluminum boat in Bellingham, Washington. When the boat was finished, we took it for sea trials, and then put it on the barge for the Bering Sea. We flew to Dillingham, Alaska to meet it, put it in the water, and went fishing in Togiak. This was purse seining for roe herring, with a spotter plane to put us on the fish. I got


fits and starts.

The next days I sailed southwards. I was becoming more comfortable with the boat. The miles rolled by, 200, 300, 400. I was on an 800-mile voyage. Deep green sea, chock full of life. The deep blue Central and South Pacific is dead, a desert, little life. The upwelling waters on the North Coast Pacific are full of nutrients. Blooming life keeps them green.

At some point in there, the radio started talking about increasing winds. And then at some point in there, I was in the area of increasing winds. I went to reef the mainsail, to reduce the sail area. To do that I needed to lower it down, gather up the bottom of the sail, and tie it up. Then I could continue toside 6×12 inch bronze porthole in the bow stateroom, shearing the 14 2-inch screws that held it in place right at the screw heads. With the equivalent of a couple of fire hoses worth of water then coming in through that 6×12 hole the only thing that kept us afloat was the guys taking turns holding a mattress up against the porthole for those two hours, and my Dad’s foresight. Early on he had installed a large 110-volt bilge pump that took 15,000 gallons an hour out of the bilge. Oh how I loved that 7.5kW Onan GenSet that day.
Needless to say, not waiting a day or two for better weather made our trip end very abruptly, the final failure was the battery charger shorting out, and then


extent of the onshore winds in the sea breeze may be quite small. I’ve seen maybe 100-200 feet. Sometimes the sea breezes from the south and west coasts will converge. I remember one occasion at Beverley, Western Australia where we had all landed after our cross countries for the day when we noticed this large convective cloud just to the north east of the airstrip. . The penny dropped and we scrambled and spent the next two hours flying around at 6000 feet without having to circle at all.
Similar conditions occur in South Australia around Adelaide and the Murray river irrigation regions with sea breezes penetrating inland although the maximum wind speeds are generally not a high as in Perth.

The RA Association of Expatriates’ Communities issued a statement on the upcoming liturgy in Holy Cross Church on Akhtamar island due September 19.
The statement specifically reads that at a first glance Turkey’s initiative can be characterized as a display of good will, but in reality Turkey wants to improve its image in the eyes of Europe and appear as a civilized and democratic country.
The statement also reads that through its initiatives Ankara wants to torpedo the process of the Armenian Genocide recognition by the U.S. Congress and unfreeze ratification of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols signed on October 10, 2009.“Turkey wants to interfere in the Karabakh conflict settlement, as well as strengthen its positions in the

PAIN AND SUFFERING PART 22

Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" (John 18:33 NKJV)

THE GENESIS OF JEALOUSY AND MURDER (19)

Jesus suffered physical, emotional and psychological stresses during his last days on earth. These stresses were partly due to the torture, and false accusations he endured at the hands of his captors. He was accused of making himself a King. Though, by all standards, Jesus is truly a King; however, he did not openly, in an arrogant manner declared himself as such.

Before Jesus was born, the Jews were ruled by the Romans; and so, to find Jesus guilty, the religious leaders had to accuse him of making himself a King. Such accusation will make him an enemy


this world. This means that, even before he was conceived, he was King; a title he holds during and after his ministry in this world. In his further response to Pilate, (Jesus) said; “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here” (John 18:36).

While in this world, Jesus exhibited his Kingship through his preaching, teaching and healing ministries. Whatever he did and said confirmed him as God – the One who created and controls the universe. On the contrary, the religious leaders of his day intentionally ignored and impugned his status as the Son of God. Their jealousy of him increasedat 805-06 (utilizing published argument to determine intent behind a constitutional provision). The publicity pamphlet published by the Secretary of State for the 1970 election at which the constitutional provision at issue was adopted, however, also provides limited assistance at best. The pamphlet contained only one published argument. The argument, offered by a citizens' committee in support of the amendment, indicated that the purpose of the amendment was to prevent criminals from continuing to commit new felony offenses while awaiting trial on an earlier felony charge.[4]
¶ 14 Just two years after the amendment was adopted, the court of appeals identified the purpose of the amendment as being to avoid the "revolving door" scenario in which an offender continues to commit crimes while released on bail:

Bong Hits For Food Banks

Just like the old saying goes: One man's overly publicized bong hit is another man's boon.

The San Francisco Food Bank, an organization that collects food donations and distributes them to hundreds of community food programs, recently received an amusing windfall: Two tons of Kellogg's Cornflakes and Frosted Flakes in boxes bearing the butterface likeness of one Michael Phelps.

Last month, Kellogg's announced it would not be renewing Phelps' endorsement contract after a picture of him smoking marijuana was published in a British tabloid. Other companies that Phelps had endorsement deals with like Speedo and Subway were willing to give him another chance, the latter perhaps recognizing their customers' own proclivities.

Kellogg's is keeping mum about how the food bank ended up with two tons of cereal,all across the country. That shouldn’t be a surprise, because it was almost entirely written by CDC, which under director Tom Frieden has been relentlessly hostile to vaping. One of the reviewers was Matthew Myers of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which under his leadership has almost completely given up talking about tobacco and turned into an anti-vaping group.

Vivek Murthy is the least experienced Surgeon General in US history. His appointment in 2013, at the age of 36, came just seven years after he finished his medical residency. At the time many people expressed concerns that he didn’t have the professional experience or maturity needed to be America’s top doctor. In allowing such a biased, misleading and frankly dangerous report to be released by his office, Murthy has


ARaymond Network - New buildings. Built-in innovations.

Date : 01/26/12|Category : Inside ARaymond

Intelligence is being built into the new ARaymond plant projects throughout the world.

A round building and plants that integrate technical or environmental constraints are just a few examples of this innovative spirit.
Architects and builders have been asked to create positive working environments and buildings open to the world and cost and energy efficient.

Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, the Czech Republic, India, China and Japan are all designing or building new plants or major extensions at the moment. In these eight countries, the land has been chosen and acquired by ARaymond on the basis of precise criteria, such as being near to existing operations and accessible by public transport. The architects and builders are now at work. “We payferries to Estonia, Finland, and Latvia were a quiet affair. Some passengers were sipping beer in bars and watching the Euro Cup without much enthusiasm. Some were playing slot machines. Some were pushing baby carriages along the corridors, taking in views of the archipelago.

The ferries can hold up to 2500 people and feel like floating villages with a somewhat confusing population. Many passengers were, as you’d expect, Swedish tourists crossing to Estonia, Latvia, and Finland. But there was also a group of Chinese tourists on every ferry, as well as Russian commuters moving between St. Petersburg and post-Soviet Baltic countries. A friend of mine in Stockholm, a Croat named Juraj who has been living in Sweden for the last several years told me that one

A tale of an obsession with junk food that may prove hard to swallow! Junk looks at our advance from living in a natural environment to a man‐made one. Like most of us, our hero is born, raised and will die in the paved world of the city.

With control over Jefferson county schools firmly in the hands of a panel of state education commissioners appointed by the governor, activists say Bevin will likely get his opportunity to smash a school busing program that has won national praise.

“The governor has had it for Louisville since he was elected because we did not vote for him,” said Scott. “His ego has gotten the best of him. He has had it out for Louisville, and part of the way in which you attack Louisville is through its school system, which educates 101,000 students and is most diverse body of students [in the state].

Residents from the rural south-western Sydney towns of Greendale, Orangeville and Bargo have claimed to have crossed paths with the beast, while those in the built-up suburbs of Airds, Narellan and Harrington Park have also reported sightings.

December 22, 2012

WASHINGTON - With reverential words and warm memories, President Barack Obama on Friday led the admirers paying tribute to the late Sen. Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, a war hero and senator for 50 years who was hailed for his leadership and modesty. Obama said Inouye was the one who "hinted to me what might be possible in my own life."

"For him freedom and dignity were not abstractions," Obama said at the National Cathedral service. "They were values that he had bled for, ideas he sacrificed for."

Inouye died Monday of respiratory complications. He was 88. Inouye worked until mere minutes before his death, shaking hands with his friends and caressing the hands of his family in those final


moments, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told the service. Reid said the senator thanked his security detail and the doctors and nurses, and wrote notes detailing his last wishes.

The tributes from the nation's political leaders were deeply personal. Vice President Joe Biden said he remembered thinking of Inouye: "I wish I could be more like that man. He's a better man than I am."

Former President Bill Clinton described Inouye as "one of the most remarkable Americans I have ever known."

Inouye was the first Japanese-American electedto both houses of Congress and the second-longest serving senator in U.S. history. He was awarded a Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military honor, for bravery during World War II, including a heroic effort that cost him his right arm.

"They blew his arm off in World War II, but they never, never laid a finger on his heart or his mind," Clinton said.

Inouye's 50 years in the Senate included playing key roles in congressional investigations of the Watergate and Iran-Contra scandals.

Obama told a story of taking a summer trip across America as an 11-year boy and spending the nights watching the Watergate hearings on TV with his mother. The president said that, as the son of a white mother and a black father, he found it captivating


to watch the Japanese-American with one arm and a baritone voice.

"To see this man, this senator, this powerful, accomplished person who was not out of central casting . . . and the way he commanded the respect of an entire nation, I think it hinted to me what might be possible in my own life," Obama said.

Hawaiian music played during the service, reflecting Inouye's love for his home state. Inouye was Hawaii's first congressman. His casket was carried into the cathedral by eight military pallbearers. Obama appeared to wipe tears from his eyes as he sat in the front row next to Biden and Clinton.

One speaker after another described Inouye as a political giant with refreshing humility. Obama said that Inouye ultimately decided he had done OK inAn Argentinian prisoner serving time for killing his wife on a conjugal visit has murdered his new girlfriend when she went to visit him in prison.

Gabriel “Chirete” Herrera stabbed his girlfriend Andrea Neri, 20, in front of her two-month-old baby, during a private visit in a prison in Villa de las Rosas, Argentina.

The 39-year-old allegedly emerged from the room holding the baby and confessed to a guard that he had killed Ms Neri.

The baby was unharmed in the incident and is now thought to be in the care of the victim’s mother.

The new stadium has been built. Another Champions League run is about to commence. A batch of exciting new players have been signed. Mauricio Pochettino’s curious mood meant that Tottenham’s season began with a few wrong notes, but the club’s broader tune remains optimistic. Strangely so, in a way that it generally hasn’t been.

Well done to fate, then, for delivering a quick jab of familiarity. All of those shiny new players have been quickly scythed down by injury. Tanguy Ndombele hasn’t been seen since the draw with Manchester City, Ryan Sessegnon arrived in the middle of his rehabilitation and, most recently, Giovani Lo Celso was trampled by Chilean hooves during the international break.

Rick Snyder today vetoed legislation that would have allowed concealed pistol license holders who completed additional training to carry a concealed pistol in schools and other places that currently are off-limits.

The governor also ordered a multi-departmental assessment of the state's services and needs regarding at-risk children.

While the governor rejected Senate Bill 59, he did sign two other bills that streamline the process for handgun purchases and eliminate restrictions on interstate rifle and shotgun transactions to states contiguous to Michigan.

Snyder's veto primarily is based on the bill's failure to let designated public entities such as schools, day care centers and hospitals opt out of the new concealed carry provisions. Currently, Michigan law does


Ever seen a penguin getting a military promotion? The Edinburgh Zoo’s resident penguin was awarded the prestigious title during a special ceremony at the zoo with 50 of Norway’s guardsmen in attendance.

A resident king penguin, Sir Nils Olav, is an honorary member of the king of Norway’s guard and inspects the soldiers when they visit the Scottish capital. One of a colony and knighted in 2008, the penguin has now been given the new title of Brig Sir Nils Olav.

The tradition of promoting a penguin is symbolic of the friendly relations between Scotland and Norway. The role of Nils Olav has actually been held by three separate penguins over the years, as king penguins only live about 15 years in the wild and slightly longer in captivity.

Former Vancouver teacher and writer, Ken Klonsky is director of Innocence International, founded by the late Rubin "Hurricane" Carter in 2004. He decided to take on the case after seeing a film about the case made by Burns' sister.

"It appeared very similar, ... the occurrences around both convictions had glaring similarities," he told On The Coast host Stephen Quinn, referring to an earlier exoneration he was part of, the case of David McCallum. He spent 29 years in prison before he was exonerated for a carjacking murder he didn't commit.

director Ken Klonsky believes there was not enough evidence to convict Atif Rafay and Sebastian Burns of killing Rafay's family. (CBC) "The problem with Atif and Sebastian back then was they were intellectuals, and there's a prejudice in society against young intellectuals," he said. "I think the police felt like, 'these guys aren't going to outsmart us. We're going to get 'em.' And that's why the RCMP was so willing to pick up the case when they came to Canada."

Klonsky said he is confident of the pair's innocence.

"There are maybe 65 or 70 innocence projects in the United States. Two of them took up Sebastian and Atif's case before we did," he said, mentioning the University of Washington's Innocence Project Northwest and the Idaho Innocence Project.

On July 24, 1986, Richard Jensen, Edward J. Carney, Jr. and Douglasbring with him certain employment records he maintained for Coleman.  The
records he brought included school records, certificates, recommendation letters,
commendations, pre-employment drug and physical records, a form sent to Texas
Educational Law Enforcement Standard Practices requesting Coleman's status as an
officer, and a teletype showing some Cochran County charges against Coleman.
However, he did not bring any time records for Coleman.  Stewart testified that Coleman
had been placed on vacation from August 10 to August 16 or 17, 1998, because Stewart
had been notified of some charges pending against Coleman in Cochran County.
	Jerry Massengill of the Amarillo Police Department brought Coleman's weekly
reports and notes to the hearing.  He believed that Coleman had taken vacation time
around August 10-14, 1998, but he did not recall if Coleman had taken vacation time in

for approximately seven to ten days.  Amos was later informed the matter was resolved
and Coleman was given a polygraph test.

	Appellant argues that she did not receive this information about Coleman and Kelly
prior to trial and if she had, she could have had witnesses available to testify about Kelly's
involvement in drug sales and "who was the initiator of the drug sales, if Mr. Kelly was
receiving a share of the money, the nature of the relationship between Mr. Kelly and
Officer Coleman, how much marijuana Mr. Kelly smoked, and the duties of an officer to
prevent crimes . . . ."  Thus, she asserts, she could have impeached Kelly with evidence
about other charges against him and challenged his credibility because of his drug use.
	However, Kelly
