A Multi-million Dollar Interior Renovation in Aspen, Colorado

One of Runa Novak’s favorite and most stunning design projects was a slope side ski in/ski out three million dollar renovation in Aspen, Colorado. The house was originally constructed in the 1980s and no improvements had been made to it since then, so it was long overdue an interior design update.

The Aspeninterior design and renovation project involved a total design/build remodel of the entire house, plus the addition of a new patio and courtyard with heated floors.The original house consisted of a great room, family room, dining room and kitchen on the main floor, with a master suite on the second floor. On the lower floor there were

The vaccine developed by researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) in the US works against a part of a Zika viral protein, called DIII, that plays a key role for the virus to infect people.

"All flaviviruses have the envelope protein on the outside part of the virus. It has three domains," said Qiang Chen, a scientist at ASU.

"The domain III has a unique stretch of DNA for the Zika virus, and we exploited this to generate a robust and protective immune response that is unique for Zika," said Chen, who led the


Behind Enemy Lines: Part III

John Crist/Doug Farrar

10/10/2008

Our Scout.com experts, John Crist of Bear Report and Doug Farrar of FootballOutsiders.com, go Behind Enemy Lines to take a closer look at Sunday's Week 6 matchup between the Bears and Falcons at the Georgia Dome. Let's finish this three-part series with some matchups to watch and final predictions.

Matchups to Watch: Bears Offense vs. Falcons Defense
RB Matt Forte vs. Atlanta's Front Seven: Forte has become Chicago's offensive Everyman – he leads the Bears in rushes and receptions, and opposing defenses are going to key on him more and more. The Falcons have an iffy defense – they rank 18th in FootballOutsiders.com' Defensive DVOA against the run – and they're 25th in DVOA against pass-catching running backs.

John Abraham has been the front seven'sover to the right side this season is because of his struggles against speed rushers in 2007, and Abraham brings an abundance of speed to the equation.

Orton has a good feel for the pocket and knows how to deliver the ball on time, but don't expect him to have all those 30-plus yard completions this week like he did against the Lions – he just won't have enough time.

Matchups to Watch: Falcons Offense vs. Bears Defense
RB Michael Turner vs. the Monsters of the Midway: Turner has put up big numbers for the Falcons as their lead power back, but his primary production has come from easier matchups. His big games have come against the Lions, Chiefs, and a Packers defense struggling with a lot of injuries. Against the

Last year’s attendees included Milwaukee Mayor, Tom Barret, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his lovely wife, Tonette (a recent addition to the Journey House board) and leaders from corporate America. Also, present was Peggy Romo-West, County Supervisor for the 12th district that Clark Square Neighborhood is part of. Romo-West also modeled in the 2013 Journey to the Runway Fashion Show.

Also participating were the Milwaukee Wave owner and three players. A local news anchor also helped emcee.

OPINION
BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Circuit Judge.
Jerry and Dianne Randleman appeal the district court's decision to decertify the class in an action that they brought against Fidelity National Title Insurance Company. The Randlemans allege that Fidelity failed to provide a discount, as required by its filed rates, when issuing title insurance to homeowners who had purchased a title insurance policy for the same property from any other insurer within the previous ten years. Dean and Aimee Hickman brought an action alleging the same claims against First American Title Insurance Company, but the district court denied their motion to certify a class. Neither district court abused its discretion in


commonality or typicality requirements necessary to sustain a *351 class action. Additionally, in light of the individual analysis necessary to determine liability, the district court concluded that common issues did not predominate.

B. The Hickmans.
When Dean and Aimee Hickman purchased a home in Elyria, Ohio in 1999 they also purchased both a lender's title insurance policy and an owner's policy. The Hickmans then refinanced their home in 2001 and again in 2004. The Hickmans purchased a new title insurance policy for each transaction, with First American issuing the 2004 policy. The Hickmans were apparently unaware that they were eligible to receive the refinance discount, and there is no evidence that they requested the discount or submitted documentation to First American establishing that they had previously purchased title insurance.

President Donald Trump says businesses and individuals will receive a “massive tax cut” under


Iran's Revolutionary Guards today vowed to take revenge after blaming Britain and the US for a suicide bombing that killed six of its commanders and 37 others in one of the country's most unstable provinces.

The attack, which killed the deputy commander of the guard's ground forces, General Noor Ali Shooshtari, and Rajab Ali Mohammadzadeh, the provincial commander for Sistan-Baluchistan, inflicted Iran's worst military casualties in years and raised questions of intelligence and security failures in a region long blighted by a violent Sunni insurgency.

A Sunni group, Jundallah ("soldiers of God"), claimed responsibility and said it was a response to "the constant crime of the regime in Baluchistan". It named the bomber as Abdol Vahed Mohammadi Saravani.

Iranian media said the attacker had detonated a bomb belt as Revolutionary Guardcommanders arrived for a meeting with tribal elders in a sports hall in Pishin, near Iran's frontier with Pakistan. It was the latest in a series of gatherings meant to foster unity in Sistan-Baluchistan, Iran's poorest province, after a spate of attacks.

Those caught in the explosion had to be taken to hospitals more than 150 miles away because Pishin lacked proper medical facilities. Some are understood to have died en route.

The Revolutionary Guards condemned the bombing as the work of "terrorists" supported by "the great Satan America and its ally Britain", and promised to respond.

"Not in the distant future we will take revenge … and Baluchis will clear this region from terrorists and criminals," read a statement released to the semi-official Fars news agency.

The statement echoed another call


for revenge by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a former guard. "The criminals will soon get the response for their anti-human crimes," the official news agency IRNA quoted him as saying.

State television cited an "informed source" as saying that Britain was to blame "by organising, supplying equipment and employing professional terrorists".

A US state department spokesman, Ian Kelly, dismissed allegations of American involvement as "completely false", adding: "We condemn this act of terrorism and mourn the loss of innocent lives."

Over the last five years it has become a standard Iranian position that the US-British alliance is a source of unrest in Sistan-Baluchistan and other provinces. Officials point to the presence of Nato forces in neighbouring Afghanistan as a launchpad for Anglo-American interference.

While Iran has blamed Britain and the USfor previous attacks on its territory, the latest allegation came as negotiations were due to resume in Vienna over its nuclear programme, which western governments fear may be designed to build an atomic bomb.

Iranian officials have previously linked Jundallah with al-Qaida, although other sources have suggested the group may have connections with the Pakistani Taliban. In Tehran, the Iranian foreign minister summoned the Pakistani charge d'affaires to complain.

The attack appeared to be a direct challenge to the Revolutionary Guards, who took over direct responsibility for Sistan-Baluchistan's security last April. The guards have taken an increasingly prominent role in Iranian affairs in recent times under the auspices of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Jundallah has taken up arms on behalf of Sistan-Baluchistan's Sunni Baluch population, which it says suffers


Early in the 2017 season, Eric Hosmer questions were popular whenever the topic of the current free-agent class came up. Where would he go? For how long and for how much? The answers tended to be all over the place.

At the time, there was a wide disconnect between what the mainstream sectors of the baseball industry thought Hosmer would get, and what metrics-slanted analysis thought he was worth. Then Hosmer spent most of the rest of the season producing at a higher level than he ever had before and finished with career bests in all of his slash stats: .318/.385/.498. As a result, when Hosmer entered the offseason, it seemed the mainstream perceptions of his value would prove to be more reflective of his market worth than hiscommitments in terms of both money and contract length. The list:

Phillies: Carlos Santana (three years, $60 million plus an option year)

Red Sox: Mitch Moreland (two years, $13 million)

Mariners: Ryon Healy (acquired via trade with five years of team control remaining)

Nationals: Matt Adams (one year, $4 million plus incentives)

Indians: Yonder Alonso (two years, $16 million plus third year triggered by a vesting option)

The Red Sox were long thought to be a good match for Hosmer, though he would not have necessarily filled Boston's need for a bona fide slugger. In Moreland, the Red Sox should get a reasonable portion of Hosmer's production at a fraction of the cost, leaving them to pursue power from another position.

The Phillies' acquisition of Santana was a bit of a shocker, but if Rhys


with a pool of seven suitors. And four of those can quickly be written off as well:

Angels: The money doesn't work here, but Hosmer would be an upgrade at a 1B/DH mix that includes Albert Pujols, C.J. Cron and Luis Valbuena. But, let's face it, the Angels are going to keep playing Pujols even if his feet turn into literal cement blocks instead of just figurative ones.

Mariners: The M's looked like they were going to be one of the more aggressive teams of the offseason, but after missing out on Shohei Ohtani, Seattle has taken a more measured approach. They acquired Healy as a low-cost power source early in the offseason, and he's got several years of team control remaining. Seattle will also likely carry a Rule 5seasons. On top of that, San Diego has already made a pricey long-term commitment to incumbent first baseman Wil Myers, though he's a good-enough athlete to play on an outfield corner for a couple of years.

San Diego keeps coming up in the rumor mill as a contender for Hosmer, and, to be sure, they are Hosmer-curious. If San Diego sees Hosmer as a cornerstone piece, along with Myers, around whom they can construct a competitive lineup that will gradually be upgraded by prospects transitioning to the majors, then the Padres make as much sense as anyone.

But the question remains: Is the apparent lack of synchronization between Hosmer's remaining peak and San Diego's competitive timeline too much to justify such a large expenditure?

Royals: We end up where Hosmer started:


On 28 September 2018, the Indonesian island of Sulawesi was struck by a powerful earthquake, followed by a tsunami. According to the latest figures, at least 1,500 people have been killed and roughly 5,000 are reported missing. Terre des hommes (Tdh) sent an emergency aid team to the site of the disaster to assess the needs of children and families. The photos and text below show the initial stages of their mission.

Within the first few hours of the catastrophe, several hundreds were reported dead and entire villages submerged. The Indonesian government called for international aid in the days that followed. At Terre des hommes’ headquarters in Lausanne, the emergency humanitarian aid team got to work immediately. First a coordination meeting was held, during which our employees analysed thethey have planted tents in front of their houses and camps are gradually forming all over the region” tells Tdh employee Joakim Loeb upon his arrival. Over 67,000 houses have been destroyed and almost 83,000 people have been displaced as a result of the earthquake. “Tdh focuses on helping communities in the hardest-to-reach areas affected by the disaster, where there are still few humanitarian aid organisations. It is in these areas that we conduct assessments.”

Children are among the most vulnerable populations in the event of natural disasters. Thousands of them have been affected by the earthquake, and are now homeless and without access to safe drinking water. Our team met with families to assess their most urgent needs and determine the most effective way of addressing them.

By Rich Freeman, KYODO NEWS - Dec 19, 2018 - 19:37 | Sports, All, Rugby2019

When Japan take on South Africa next September at Kumagaya Rugby Ground they will come up against a player in Siya Kolisi whose background and raison d'etre is a world away from their own.

The first black player to captain the Springboks in a test match, Kolisi grew up in the impoverished Zwide township outside Port Elizabeth and his inspirational tale is something he "wouldn't change for anything because all the struggles have made me the person I am."

But with the help of electronics maker Panasonic, he is hoping children in South Africa have a slightly easier upbringing than him.

"When I was younger, all I cared about was what I was going to eat,the time, he was noticed and offered a scholarship at the prestigious Grey High School in Port Elizabeth on South Africa's Eastern Cape.

"When I got to the school I started dreaming differently," he said. "I had everything I needed to make it in life."

"I ate six times a day and they had to stop me because I wasn't used to eating so much. I got my own bed for the first time, I used to sleep on the floor (at home). I got my first pair of socks, I had never owned socks before, and school shoes. It just gave me self-esteem and confidence."

His time at Grey High School also saw him learn English, and with all that food he was eating, he started growing. By the age


of 16, he had decided he wanted to play rugby for a living and to do it for the Springboks.

Becoming the test team captain was a completely different matter, however.

"You don't dream about that where I am from," he said.

"People obviously saw leadership in me that I didn't see but now I do. I don't play to be captain, I just want to be part of the team and do my best for the team to win. Being part of the part of the Springboks is more important than being captain of the Springboks."

But as captain, he is perhaps the most important sporting role model in South Africa, and Kolisi intends to make the most of it to help others.

Rather than just a face, his role with PanasonicNow the (solar) lights are really changing the kids' lives."

Talk of Mandela raises the subject of transformation and the quota system in place in South African rugby, among other sports.

"I don't think (Mandela) would have supported that," Kolisi said. "You shouldn't put a number on something like that...I wouldn't want to be picked because of my skin color."

"All he cared about was a better South Africa," Kolisi said of Mandela, South Africa's first black president, who he describes as his role model.

Using his own background as an example, Kolisi said rather than picking players who may go on to question whether they are truly worthy of their place in their team, the key is to nurture the talent that exists. One way of doing that is investing in


in average domestic selling prices significantly while input cost pressures did not accelerate notably further – implying some improvement in the profitability of local sales. However, after a revival in the previous quarter, export performance came under renewed pressure. “The latest readings for foreign sales and orders are in line with the economic growth slowdown of our major trading partners and the strengthening of the rand exchange rate (on average) during the quarter” said Grobler.

The survey did not provide evidence of further acceleration in the production tempo during 2012Q1, with the number of respondents reporting an increase in production volumes dropping slightly. The percentage rating the present level of output below capacity increased marginally from 73% to 74%. Although the average hours worked per factory worker increased, manufacturersto administer the CEAS program. Municipalities pay no fees to BNET for a CEAS program.

The key activity in launching CEAS is establishing a partnership between the local municipality and BNET. According to the rules of the CEAS program, the required relationship is called a “partnership”. This underscores the vision of public/private sector partnerships, which is what initially spurred the development of BNET and the CEAS program. According to CEAS, three steps are taken to initiate a local CEAS program.

borders or criminal prosecution for law-breaking," the President had said.

By Wednesday morning, he had changed course.

In the executive order he signed on Wednesday, Trump declared it is his administration's policy to "maintain family unity," including by detaining entire families together "where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources."

The order directs other agencies, including the Pentagon, to take steps to find places to house family units.

The order specifies that migrants entering the US with children will not be kept together if there's a fear for the child's welfare. Families will also be prioritized in the adjudication process.

Even so, the move is almost certain to face immediate legal action challenging the administration's authority to keep families detained at length.

The President was not required to sign anything to change theadministration's practice that elicited outrage. He could have reversed the practice of splitting children from their parents with a phone call.

Executive orders typically require input from the Office of the Legal Counsel. The details of the executive order were worked out between the White House, the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security, a source said.

The White House may run into legal difficulties if the executive order requires families to be held intact together indefinitely since a federal consent decree known as the Flores settlement says children must be released after 20 days.

Reversal

Trump's decision to relent was a reversal since he had gambled that he could use the plight of the children and public outrage to ram through his hardline changes to immigration police in legislation.

The President


their own political prospects with the midterm elections are being damaged by the separation policy.

Democrats welcomed Trump's apparent change of course but said he had only himself to blame.

"The President is the one that created this humanitarian crisis," Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

"I hope the President will fix the problem that he created."

Crafting the order

While Attorney General Jeff Sessions was not at the meeting at the White House Wednesday morning, his chief of staff has been there to represent the Justice Department, the source added.

Prior to Trump's remarks, White House aides refused to comment on rumors of an executive order and Republicans on Capitol Hill seemingly had no knowledge of a coming executive action. Until now, Trump and White House officials have instead beenpushing GOP lawmakers this week to pass legislation that deals with immigration reform.

The move -- if it retreats from his current stance that the administration is simply following the current law and needs congressional action to stop the separations -- would mark a huge reversal by the President.

Both first lady Melania Trump and Nielsen reportedly had roles in the changing course.

The first lady has been working for several days behind the scenes, encouraging the President to keep families together, a White House official told CNN. She has had several private conversations with her husband, pushing him to do all he can to keep families at the border intact, whether via a legislative route, or acting alone to stop the process, the official said.

The shift in Trump's thinking came


This is totes crazy.

A Florida man tried to help his legless girlfriend evade police capture by hiding her in a plastic tote — only to be foiled because a cop saw the whole thing.

Krystle Lee Anderson, 39 — who lost her legs to injuries from a 2015 gun battle with cops — was on the run after skipping out on a court date in Orange County, where she was standing trial for armed kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer stemming from the 2015 incident, according to local newspaper The Ledger.

When Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies and US Marshals came knocking at her boyfriend John Robert Carr Jr.’s Winter Haven home Tuesday, the 48-year-old man claimed Anderson wasn’t there.

Catch is, one ofthe officers spied him through a bedroom window cramming the 4-foot-tall woman in a plastic bin moments earlier.

Sheriffs arrested the couple, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

In 2015, Anderson held up a Burger King with a BB gun and threatened one of her relatives there, according to an Orlando Sentinel account from the time. A cop responding to the incident instructed her to drop the air gun, and she instead pointed it at him, prompting him to open fire, the paper reported.

She lost her legs from the injuries she sustained, the Ledger reported, citing information from sheriffs.

The meeting of the Council of Eight Cardinals with Pope Francis continues in the Vatican

The director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi on Tuesday afternoon held a press briefing on the second day of the on-going meeting of Pope Francis and the Council of 8 Cardinals. The Council was created on 13 April 2013 and confirmed a document known as a chirograph on 28 September, to assist in the governance of the Universal Church and to draw up a plan for the revision of the Apostolic Constitution “Pastor bonus” on the Roman Curia. The Cardinals received a report from the second special commission set up by the Pope to oversee the Institute for Works of Religion, commonly known as the Vatican Bank.

When one speaks about the Chicano Art Movement of the '70s, one must not forget Manuel Cruz from East Los Angeles. He is the Godfather, el Don of the Chicano Art Movement. Many of his ideas of Chicanismo have been incorporated into what we know today as Chicano Art. I first met Manuel in 1976 at the Mechicano Art Center in Highland Park. I was in my early 20s and Manuel was in his mid 40s.

Manuel was always working on some kind of an idea to promote or to manufacture. His ideas were good, but he wasn't very good at implementing them. When new generations of Chicano artists speak of Chicano Art, they more or less bring up the old masters from the past. However it was ManuelCruz who had the vision for many of the things that these young Chicano artists are now enjoying. Manuel was a lone wolf, a diamond in the rough. He was from the old school of hard knocks. Manuel was a very dark Chicano, and back in those days he experienced more bigotry than any of us can imagine. Maybe he had a big chip on his shoulder because he had encountered more discrimination than the rest of us. He was sometimes mean and always loud, but nonetheless he was the Godfather, el Don of the Chicano Art Movement.

Manuel Cruz's temper over time worked against him; he was never recognized for his creative genius. Manuel was the most creative person I have ever met. He wrote a children's fairytale


buy miniature gang bangers figures in the Gumball machines at the liquor stores, food marts etc.

Manuel was way ahead of his time as he wrote a song called "Cholo writing on the Wall." The song was popular among Chicano activists. Manuel in many ways had opened the door for my generation and in turn opened the door for the future generations to come. I don't know where Manuel is today, but for us to not mention artist Manuel Cruz of East LA in the Chicano Art movement of the '70s is the worst kind of injustice, a wrong doing to a Chicano by Chicanos, because you see, Manuel Cruz is Chicano Art.

The broadsides by ex-CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper followed months of tension between the White House and the intelligence community over the president’s reluctance to publicly accept intelligence assessments that Russia sought to sway the 2016 vote in his favor.

That long-running contretemps flared again over the weekend when Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he traveled in Asia, implied that he took Russian President Vladimir Putin at his word that Russia had not acted to influence the U.S. election.

years 10 months when Perry was killed on August 31, 1999.
In October 2015, the court issued an order vacating Jackson’s
life sentence and scheduled a new sentencing hearing for
January 2016.
   At the January mitigation hearing, Jackson presented the
testimony of Kayla Pope, who is an attorney, a board-certified
child and adolescent psychiatrist, and an expert in adolescent
brain development. A deposition Pope gave in State v. Smith,
Washington County District Court, No. CRl3-9000001, was
also received at Jackson’s mitigation hearing.
   Pope testified that she was the director for neurobehavioral
research at Boys Town National Research Hospital and the
program director for the general psychiatric training program
at Creighton Medical Center and the University of Nebraska
Medical Center.

   In addition to considering the statutory sentencing factors
for offenders under age 18, Newring performed a risk assess-
ment for future violence.
   During the evaluation, Jackson denied being abused or
neglected as a child and he said he had a typical childhood
with a young mother and a strong family. A family friend told
Newring that Jackson had a mother and stepfather and good
support growing up but that he got in with the wrong crowd.
Jackson denied having been in a gang but said that he was
around gang people. He did not earn any school credits past
the 8th grade and was expelled from school in the 10th grade.
At age 17,


he was placed at the Youth Rehabilitation and
Treatment Center in Kearney, Nebraska, after he violated his
parole for being a minor in possession of a handgun. He appar-
ently violated his parole by being in possession of a stolen
vehicle. He was paroled in May 1999.
   An initial classification report from the Department of
Correctional Services completed in 2000 stated that Jackson

   Newring noted that Jackson now had strong ties with his
family members, who were supportive of him. He believed
that Jackson’s recent sobriety, employment experience with
the Department of Correctional Services, and family ties were
strengths for him. He found it unlikely that Jackson would
“re-experience that context that led to his crime of convic-
tion,” because he no longer abused drugs or wanted to impress
his peers “in the thug life.” He concluded that Jackson pre-
sented a low risk for future acts of violence. At the end of this
hearing, the court ordered a presentence investigation report
and scheduled the sentencing hearing for April 2016.
   During the sentencing hearing, the court received as an
exhibit a sentencing brief with attachments from Jackson’s
attorney. Many of the attachments were letters of support


from Jackson’s friends and family members. One letter
was from a man who had taught a “self-betterment cognitive
restructuring” class that Jackson had participated in. He said
he had known Jackson for 3 years and that when the class was
over, he asked Jackson to assist as a lay instructor. He said
Jackson had demonstrated considerable willingness to improve
himself and had used his time and abilities to help other
inmates with decisionmaking and conflict resolution.
   Some of the attachments were copies of other resentencing
orders for different adolescent offenders or newspaper stories
about them. Another attachment was a report by the Violence
Policy Center that analyzed 2011 data on black homicide vic-
timization. The report showed that for 2011, the national black
homicide victimization rate was 17.51 per 100,000. “For that
year, Nebraska ranked first as the statewith the highest black
victimization rate. Its rate of 34.43 per 100,000 was nearly
double the national average . . . .” There were 30 black homi-
cide victims in Nebraska that year. A report by the Department
of Health and Human Services showed that in Nebraska, homi-
cide was the leading cause of death for African-Americans
who were between the ages of 15 and 34. Attached news
reports showed that three of the other individuals alleged to be
involved in Perry’s murder had been killed. Chillous was killed
in a 2005 shooting. Later that year, Cooperrider was killed in
a shooting. In 2010, Sommerville was killed in a shooting,
McBride was sentenced to prison for possession of cocaine
with intent to distribute, and Fulton was sentenced to prison
for first degree assault. In 2014, Fulton was again sentenced to

The most recent war on Iraq is widely considered to be George W. Bush’s war but a majority of leading Democrats including Hillary Clinton and John Kerry voted to grant Mr. Bush authority for the war. As its moral, military and geopolitical catastrophes have emerged it is necessary to remember that a large majority of Americans also supported both Mr. Bush and the war on Iraq when it was undertaken. Left largely unsaid in discussion of the events currently unfolding, as the CIA has armed and ‘trained’ Syrian ‘rebels’, is that according to UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) America’s war sent 1.2 million Iraqis fleeing to Syria to escape violence in Iraq. And a total of four million Iraqis were displaced. The question of precisely howmany Iraqis were killed from the U.S. invasion and occupation ranges from the determined undercount of 191,000 on the low end to over one million on the high end. The most plausible count placed the number of ‘excess’ Iraqi deaths at 655,000 by 2006, five full years before U.S. troops left the country.

With ‘official’ America debating how to respond to what at present appears to be a Saudi-Iranian proxy war in Iraq the question both within and outside of the U.S. is: why do America and the Americans have any say in the matter? The last quarter century of U.S. engagement in Iraq has been a series of military and geopolitical blunders with catastrophic consequences across the Middle East. The answer of course, as it was with the


U.S. military ‘strategy,’ argued that the U.S. should occupy Iraq to project U.S. military power throughout the Middle East. Exploiting manufactured public bloodlust toward Iraq, U.S. President Bill Clinton then implemented devastating economic sanctions believed to be responsible for the deaths of between 350,000 – 500,000 Iraqi children. By the late 1990s the neo-cons had coalesced into the Project for the New American Century complete with fresh plans for world domination. When the Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush to the U.S. Presidency in 2001 the neo-con ‘brain trust’ was made the core of his foreign policy advisory staff. Mr. Bush proposed a series of wholly manufactured rationales for war against Iraq and in 2003 war was launched. Upon his election in 2008 current U.S. President Barack ObamaMr. Bush that committed the U.S. to quit Iraq by 2011, and against his campaign promise to end the war there, Mr. Obama did everything in his power to persuade the Iraqi government to allow a large U.S. troop presence to remain after the date for withdrawal had passed. The central sticking point was the refusal of the Iraqi government to give blanket immunity to U.S. troops for crimes committed against the people of Iraq. In other words, Mr. Obama could have continued the U.S. war if he had been willing to let the Iraqis prosecute criminal acts committed by Americans in Iraq. Apparently unwilling to risk murder, rape and torture prosecutions against U.S. troops, Mr. Obama reluctantly settled for withdrawal of all but the tens of thousands

Connacht Rugby has today confirmed that outhalf Steve Crosbie and centre Tom Farrell have been added to the senior squad for the remainder of the 2016/17 season. Loosehead prop Peter McCabe has also joined the province on a loan deal from Munster Rugby.

23-year-old outhalf Steve Crosbie, who can also play in midfield, joins the province on the back of a short term contract with Munster where he made two appearances for their ‘A’ side in the British & Irish Cup last month. The former Ireland under-20’s player originally came through the Leinster academy system and made two Guinness PRO12 appearances at the beginning of the 2014/15 season.

The Connacht coaching team have also boosted their options at midfield with the addition of 23-year-old Tom Farrell who joins from EnglishChampionship side Bedford Blues where he made 12 appearances this season. Having played with Lansdowne RFC, Farrell came through the Leinster Academy and also represented Ireland at under-19 and under-20 level. He joined up with his new team mates at the Sportsground on Monday and was today added to the European Rugby Champions Cup squad for the province.

24-year-old McCabe has also joined the province on loan from Munster Rugby and as cover for current front row injuries. The Cork-born prop impressed on a number of occasions for Munster ‘A’ after making his B&I Cup debut in the 2015 quarter-final against Doncaster Knights.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia has mounted a campaign of covert economic and political measures to manipulate five countries in central and eastern Europe, discredit the West’s liberal democratic model, and undermine trans-Atlantic ties, a report by a private U.S. research group said.

The report released on Thursday said Moscow had co-opted sympathetic politicians, strived to dominate energy markets and other economic sectors, and undermined anti-corruption measures in an attempt to gain sway over governments in Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Serbia, and Slovakia.

“In certain countries, Russian influence has become so pervasive and endemic that it has challenged nationalstability as well as a country’s Western orientation and Euro-Atlantic stability,” said the report of a 16-month study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and the Sofia, Bulgaria-based Center for the Study of Democracy.

The publication of “The Kremlin Playbook: Understanding Russian Influence in Eastern and Central Europe” coincides with an unprecedented debate in the United States over whether Russia is attempting to interfere in the Nov. 8 presidential election with cyber attacks and the release of emails from the campaign of Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton.

The former U.S. Secretary of State’s campaign has said the Kremlin is trying to help Republican Donald Trump win the White House.

On Friday, the U.S. government for the first time formally accused Russia of hacking Democratic Party organizations. Russian


The Junior 'A' team is one of two proposals currently before the town for a local junior hockey team.

A proposal currently before the Town of Collingwood, would see a new Junior A team formed as a farm team for the Barrie Colts. The new team would be known as the Collingwood Colts. Contributed image.

1 / 1 A proposal currently before the Town of Collingwood, would see a new Junior A team formed as a farm team for the Barrie Colts. The new team would be known as the Collingwood Colts. Contributed image.

The Barrie Colts hope to have more than an old score clock in Eddie Bush Memorial Arena next winter.

One of two proposals for a junior hockey team in Collingwood would see a Tier II Junior 'A' teamCollingwood players on the Siskins roster and another eight from Penetanguishene.

“It shows they are capable … we will roster local players, for sure,” said Steele. “The greatest focus of the Collingwood Colts will be development of Collingwood youth within the minor hockey system to give them an opportunity to have them play at a local (provincial) level.”

Junior 'A' hockey in the OJHL includes players aged 16 to 20 years old. The OJHL is a development league for Canadian University Hockey (CIS), the NCAA college system in the United States, the OHL, as well as European and North American professional leagues.

There are several players from Simcoe County currently playing in the OHL, including two on the Colts in Barrie native Jake Patridge and Alliston's Tyson Foerster, who previously played


for the OJHL's Stouffville Spirit. Another example is Barrie native Mitchell Russell, a forward on the North Bay Battalion who previously played for the OJHL's Aurora Tigers.

There is a long history of junior hockey in Collingwood, dating back to the late 1940's with names such as the Greenshirts, the Shipbuilders and the Blues.

The town celebrated back-to-back Central Ontario Junior 'B' titles in 1970 and 1971. The following season, they moved to the Mid-Ontario Junior 'B' League, advancing all the way to the Sutherland Cup final in 1975-76 before falling in seven games.

More recently, the Collingwood Blues operated as a Junior 'B' team from 1988 until 1993 when they were promoted to Junior 'A'. In 2010, the team nickname was changed to the Blackhawks to match the town's minorhockey teams. However, the franchise ceased operations in April 2011.

The town has not yet accepted the bid by Collingwood Colts.

A group including former Collingwood mayor Terry Geddes, Andy Pritchard and Paul Jeffrey have also proposed a Junior 'B' team.

According to a news release issued by the Town of Collingwood in early January, staff is working with council to come to a decision on which proposal to accept.

Steele expects to hear back from the town in March.

Al-Tayeb’s fixation was with having another example of terror on the world stage — the infidel and “Christian.” His focus has been entirely on blaming those who single out Islam for the terror business.

Please know that the grand imam of Al Azhar has never condemned the killings of Shia Muslims murdered by Sunni Muslims, any ISIS aggression, or any Muslim attacks on Christians and their religious institutions. Instead, through public and private TV channels, Al Azhar imams have instigated the notion that Sunni Muslims must occupy Rome, the White House and recapture Spain.

As the facts of this horrible incident were uncovered, sympathy from New Zealanders began to pour forth with various actions binding non-Muslim to


the West. Their agreement was signed earlier this year in Abu Dhabi.

Arab-Muslim reaction to the New Zealand tragedy

In the Arabic press, much was made of hatred toward Islam, escalation of hostilities, prejudice and growing Islamophobia with various reactions from Arab-Muslim leaders. A cleric and scholar from Al Azhar Institute pointed out that the gunman was not killed this time, whereas Islamic terrorists are always killed on the scene. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed the escalation of hostilities toward Islam. He called on the West to take emergency measures to prevent such disasters.

On the official Al Azhar website, Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb said that “the horrific terrorist attack is a serious indicator of disastrous consequences from the escalation of hate speech and the spread of Islamophobia in Europeancountries.”

Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, and the Saudi King all strongly condemned the incident and gave their condolences while the PLO secretary evoked the 1994 terrorist attack on the El Ibrahimy Mosque (West Bank) when 29 Muslims were murdered by an Israeli during the arura prayers after Israeli security (as per the Arab narrative) allowed the gunman inside.

Islam’s long-term plan — The build-up of Islam

History shows the rise and fall of various emperors, including Islamic ones. The latter collapsed with the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1922, which allowed the beginning of secular states. When no longer under the control of the emperor, Turkey, Egypt and other former caliphate countries became westernized under European occupation.

However, around 1970, about fifty years later, the secular life in the Arab and Islamic


countries experienced a new phenomenon known as the “Awakening of Islam.” The goal of it was manifested in religious devotion and the adoption of Islamic culture, such as dress codes, terminology, gender segregation, and religious appearance. Censorship of media and music were included as well.

Adherence to the original values and nature of Islam from the standpoint of the Islamic religion was an important element of this awakening throughout the 1970s and early ’80s. The awakening has always been associated with the Islamic political-militant movements seeking to reinforce Islamization. In Egypt, this movement adopted violence against civilians to create a state of fear and formed radical splinter groups that targeted particular Egyptian military and police locales.

Two pinnacle events concluding the decade of the ’70s in regard to this political-militantmovement of Islam were the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union and the removal of the Shah of Iran, transferring power to the mullahs. The latter allowed the mullahs to rule and re-Islamize the country; the former increased the power of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

During the same decade, important changes took place in Egypt — Nasser died, and Sadat became the third president of the country. The new president opened Egypt’s borders to receive thousands of Egyptian Islamists who returned from Saudi Arabia brainwashed with a Wahhabi/Salafi mentality. Sadat also freed local Muslim Brotherhood members jailed in Egypt during the Nasser era.

Islam’s long-term plan — The export of Islam

Adding Saudi petrodollars to Egyptian Islamists, the Islamic awakening was then ready to move forward. Copts in Egypt


were its first victims while Islam’s newest chapter was opening in the West. Grand mosques were constructed outside of the Middle East waiting to receive Islamist occupants from Arab-Muslim countries. Western borders opened for Islamic migrants to pour in. This led to the eventual war on free speech which the West is experiencing now.

Today, in Western Europe, immigration has become an Islamic invasion with the blessing of the European Union and leftist ideology. With the increase of Islamic populations in the West, we started to see streets blocked for Friday’s prayers, noise pollution from mosque mega-speakers, no-go zones forbidding non-Muslim populations from entering, private Muslim police and Sharia courts.

While the West opened its doors to welcome the new waves of immigrants, the majority of Muslim immigrants have neverbonded to the new habitat and culture. The majority live as in their countries of origin with little consideration for the traditions and behaviors of the host culture. Moreover, Muslim tradition demands changes by the host population to accommodate Muslim behaviors. Such arrogance breeds resentment.

The situation has gotten worse around the world. Western women in particular no longer feel free and safe to walk in the streets of some cities after dark or alone. Society has experienced a surge in government welfare. Sharia law allows wife beatings, honor killings, and female genital mutilation — non-humanitarian acts that are problematic and illegal in Western society.

This unfortunate reality continues to create an atmosphere of discomfort and discontent for the general populations of the West, which have been frustrated by the

Sunday, it was lights out as Gushue scored two and stole four in the second end for a 6-0 lead and dispatched Russia 11-3 in the morning draw. The team curled 92 per cent and skip Gushue threw a perfect 100 per cent game.

Gushue traded deuces with Edin until forcing the Swede to one in the seventh and followed with his fourth two-point end of the game in the eighth.

A steal of two in the ninth sealed the deal for Canada as the Gushue crew ran Edin


coaching the team skipped by Jaap Van Dorp at their first world championship. “I stayed there and curled in Calgary competitively. Eventually, I returned to Golden where an auto accident took me out of competitive curling for many years. I moved to Holland because my husband is Dutch. I wanted to learn the language and culture. The plan was one year and return to Canada. That was 14 years ago.

“In order to meet people, I made contact with the curling club. Before long, I was curling again, which was very unexpected. I started coaching and organizing a junior program. I ended up playing for the Netherlands in seven Europeans and one Worlds."

She coached Van Dorp and his team all the way through junior and now also coaches campsfor the WCF in the summer. Hence the McDonald connection.

NEXT TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

Every day at the Edmonton Worlds features a trip down memory lane featuring teams that have won major championships in Northlands Coliseum or across the street at the old Edmonton Gardens.

Sunday featured Russ Howard, who won the 1987 Brier, and Glenn Howard, who took gold at the only previous Ford Worlds held here in 2007.

The two Howards, who curled together in the '87 Brier, were featured in a fun Up Close & Personal session and introduced prior to Sunday draws on the ice.

Innovators feed Valencia restaurant boom

1 / 9

Back to Gallery

The numbers alone are staggering.

Since spring 2011, 16 restaurants have opened on the three-block stretch of Valencia Street between


and the Hollywood strip in L.A.," says A.J. Gilbert, who opened Luna Park on Valencia near 18th Street in 2000.

"Obviously Valencia Street has its own character, but it's amazing how it's become world-class."

It's not just the concentration of restaurants that is remarkable, but also the diversity of the food.

In addition to the time-honored margaritas at Puerto Alegre and cheese slices at Arinell, Valencia Street is now the place to find smoked cheddar gougeres at Craftsman and Wolves, open-face lox sandwiches at Bar Tartine, Mexico City-style tuna tostadas at Tacolicious, Roman fried artichokes at Locanda, and Thai-inspired pork belly rice bowls at Mau.

Observers say the boom is a result of a confluence of factors. Some projects born during the 2008 recession have finally come to fruition. The influx oftech money - in the form of both diners and investors - has spurred new endeavors, as has the relative ease of navigating the area's commercial zoning regulations.

Perhaps the icing on the cake has been the recent improvement to the street itself. It widened the sidewalks, which spiked foot traffic and allowed for the addition of outdoor tables.

"For restaurants, it's a natural place to gravitate to, with big spaces and reasonable rents," says Dylan MacNiven, who earlier this year opened West of Pecos, a Southwestern follow-up to his two Woodhouse Fish Co. locations.

"If you walk up and down on a busy day, there's nothing like it."

Another veteran San Francisco restaurateur, Joe Hargrave, has also gravitated to Valencia Street, opening a branch of his popular Tacolicious there last year


near 18th Street.

"For its population density, I don't think the Mission has ever had the restaurant density," he says. "It's catching up now, all at once."

Hargrave's landlord is Jack Knowles, who purchased the defunct New College buildings in 2010 and has turned them into the Chapel, a live music venue in partnership with New Orleans' Preservation Hall. Later this year, Knowles plans to add a 90-seat restaurant and a 110-seat bar and grill to the space.

The Slanted Door's Charles Phan, a graduate of nearby Mission High, has been part of two different restaurant booms in the neighborhood. He opened the original Slanted Door nearly two decades ago in the Valencia Street building he owns near 17th Street. Its groundbreaking Vietnamese food made it a national sensation, although theprices and valet parking that went along with the sophisticated menu raised some hackles in the neighborhood.

Phan moved the restaurant a decade ago, eventually landing in the Ferry Building. Last year, he reopened the space as Wo Hing General Store. Sales have been more sluggish than expected this time around, yet he asserts the number of new restaurants is a positive development.

"Overall, it's good for consumers. It reminds me a little of North Beach in the '80s, with all these restaurants popping up at different price points," he says. "It's a good vibe here. To me, it makes it more San Francisco than a lot of neighborhoods."

However, not everyone is thrilled. Jose Ramos, the building manager at 780 Valencia, owns 780 Cafe with his family. He's been on


the block for 18 years, dating back to the building's time as the New College, and is involved with various community projects.

He says the change hasn't necessarily been for the better.

"It's expensive, very expensive," he says. "This street has totally changed. All these restaurants come in, they pay five or six dollars a square foot."

That's comparable to rents in other prime areas like the Marina and Cow Hollow, but, as Ramos points out, "This used to be a dollar-a-square-foot neighborhood."

While some of the street's old-timers, most notably Puerto Alegre, remain popular, others have been priced out. It's caused concern that the neighborhood is drifting away from its long-standing Latino roots, not to mention losing touch with many of its residents who can't - or don't want to -few places for them to rent."

The street is in transition in other ways as well. Although some see the corridor as an upscale pocket in an area that continues to struggle with crime, earlier this month a 17-year-old girl was stabbed at Valencia and 21st Street, and last week an overnight street brawl at 16th Street and Valencia left at least one person with critical injuries.

As elsewhere in the city, regulatory issues also are part of the picture. It took Knowles 1 1/2 years to get a full liquor license for his upcoming ventures; that means he can serve until 2 a.m. But across the street at Mission Cheese, owner Sarah Dvorak has spent more than a year just trying to extend her beer and wine license to


serve until 10 p.m.

"In order to compete, we need those hours," she says.

To be sure, San Francisco has repeatedly faced issues of food and gentrification. In just one example, The Chronicle in 1985 wrote about a rash of San Francisco croissant shops that some people said were ruining the neighborhoods.

"Valencia Street is very concerned about keeping its identity," says West of Pecos' MacNiven, who lives two blocks from the restaurant and is a member of the Valencia Corridor Merchants Association.

"I think there is a breaking point for the neighborhood, but I also think a flat-out moratorium is bad. Other neighborhoods have done that, and it leads to a decline in quality."

A moratorium doesn't seem to be on the horizon, but there is some discussion about other possible changes.

SupervisorThe bucket list of ethnic cuisine in Cleveland expanded by yet another country when Kifaya's Kitchen (3650 W 117th St., 216-219-8263) opened its Somali-themed eatery in 2013. It was a long journey for Kifaya Mohamed and son Ahmed Galeb to establish the family business after arriving in the United States as refugees from a Yemen camp in 2006.

Located inside a non-descript brick strip mall, Kifaya's Kitchen has flown under the radar amid the fast food chains, Mediterranean restaurants and Halal grocery stores that populate the block. The addition of outdoor signage and a written menu have helped the quaint kitchen become accessible to a broader clientele.

Even without advertising, the parking lot of the eatery is packed two cars deep during the week, with spaces filled by Somali taxi


hand to mouth.

Specials like the KayKay, with fatty, crispy cuts of goat, are served with sautéed onion, peppers, beans and greens with shredded sabaayad or flatbread that soak up the spiced tomato base permeating the meal. Offered on the side is a leafy chopped salad of greens, cucumber, onion, green pepper and tomato with fresh lemon for acidity. Three sauces – a spicy red, creamy white, and mild green – are served in squeeze bottles for the table.

Traditional Somali food is a descendant of many different cultures, situated in the Horn of Africa. Indian influence can be tasted in Kifaya's curries, stews, samosas (available on weekends for $1), and chapatti-like flatbread. Arabic flavors can be found in the nuanced mix of spices, from the coriander rice to thegarlic-, cumin-, and clove-rubbed meats.

Mohamed starts out as the only one working the counter today, cooking each order beyond the partition separating a modest kitchen from the dining room. "It's going to be very good," Mohamed says with the confidence of someone who knows they have the community backing them. Several people wander in and out of the kitchen, helping Mohamed as customers arrive and then dwindle out before dinner.

Despite not knowing any English upon her arrival in Cleveland, Mohamed seems to communicate exactly what needs to be said through her smile and maternal demeanor. She relies on her friends and family of seven children to run food throughout the day and ask questions to customers who speak only English.

Kifaya's Kitchen began as a dream for Ahmed, who


said, "Get a tutor!" Paul was discouraged from creative writing.

Fast forward into the future and Paul hears his daughter say, "My monster needs a haircut." And that was it! The spark he needed to write a series of stories starring Monster, who needs a costume, sleep, a party, a christmas tree--you name it! But like Paul, who initially struggled with his writing, Monster doesn't always get things right the first time. Whether it's finding the perfect Halloween costume, or discovering a morally worthy campaign for presidency, Monster's persistence and outside-the-box thinking lead him to success. Like Dr. Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go, Monster knows it's not about the ending, but how you get there that matters.Manifesto of M.I.A – Movimento Insurgente Anarquista (Insurgent Anarchist Movement) Marie Mason Cell

Between the end of November and the beginning of December, two ancient trees were cut down in the square outside the Our Lady of Remedies church at the behest of the Osasco-Sao Paulo municipal authorities.

And, in August 2015, the armed branches of government assassinated more than 20 people in one night in the regions of Osasco, Barueri, Carapicuiba and Itapevi. All the people who were assassinated came from the favelas and the barrios away from the center of these fascist states.

purchases of Iranian oil.

That has effectively starved the Iranian economy of the main
source of revenue Tehran uses to import food for its 81 million people, and
left Iran’s pragmatic faction with no benefits to show for its nuclear
agreement.

Washington says the 2015 agreement reached under Trump’s
predecessor Barack Obama did not go far enough because it is not permanent and
does not cover issues beyond the nuclear program, such as missiles and regional
behavior.

Iran says there is no point negotiating with Washington when
it has abandoned a deal that was already reached.

The downing of the US drone – which Iran says was over its
air space and the United States says was international skies – followed weeks
of rising tensions that had begun to take on a military dimension.

Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez has returned to winning form in the Red Bull GP of The Americas with teammate Hiroshi Aoyama – replacing Dani Pedrosa – fighting to the last lap to take 11th place.

Pole man Marc dropped back briefly from the start to 2nd place behind Dovizioso whilst Hiroshi got caught up and found himself 20th, from 16th on the grid. By lap five, Hiro had climbed to 13th and after a brief battle with Dovizioso, Marc took first place.

With Rossi and Iannone fighting with Dovizioso, Marc never looked back and led from the front for the remainder of the race – taking his 20th victory in the MotoGP class. Hiroshi progressed further and reached 11th place,


which he briefly lost on the final lap, but showed a fighting spirit and re-passed Barbera taking 11th.

Marc has won on all six occasions that he has raced in the MotoGP class in the USA, and Honda celebrate their 11th consecutive win on American soil. The last non-Honda MotoGP winner in the USA was Jorge Lorenzo, at Laguna Seca in 2010.

Now the team must pack up and head straight to Argentina for the third round of 2015.

He was appointed limited overs captain after Matthews was sacked after 2018 Asia Cup.  Due to poor performances throughout New Zealand and Australia tours, Chandimal was dropped from the Test squad for South Africa tour. Dimuth Karunaratne was named as the stand-in captain for the tour, while Chandimal was released to play domestic cricket and regain his form with the bat.

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey (AP) — A time few could imagine during the not-too-distant glory days of casino gambling has arrived in Atlantic City, where two casinos will close this weekend and a third will shut down in two weeks.

More than 5,000 workers will lose their jobs in an unprecedented weekend in the seaside gambling resort, leaving many feeling betrayed by a system that once promised stable, well-paying jobs.

The Showboat is closing Sunday, followed by Revel on Monday and Tuesday. Trump Plaza is next, closing Sept. 16. To the thousands who will be left behind, it still seems unreal.

"We never thought this would happen," said Chris Ireland, who has been a bartender at the Showboat since it opened. His wife works there, too, as a


cocktail server. Before dinnertime Sunday, neither will have a job.

What makes it even tougher to swallow is that the Showboat — one of four Atlantic City casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment — is still turning a profit. But the company says it is closing Showboat to help reduce the total number of casinos in Atlantic City. Caesars also teamed with Tropicana Entertainment to buy the Atlantic Club last December and close it in January.

"They just want to eliminate competition," Ireland said. "Everyone's in favor of a free market until it doesn't exactly work for them."

Yet many analysts and casino executives say the painful contraction now shrinking Atlantic City's casino market is exactly what the city needs to survive. Since 2006, Atlantic City's casino revenue has fallen from $5.2little comfort to workers who are losing their jobs. By the time Trump Plaza shuts down in two weeks, nearly 8,000 people — or a quarter of Atlantic City's casino workforce — will be unemployed. A mass unemployment filing due to begin Wednesday is so large it has been booked into the city's convention center.

When casino gambling was approved by New Jersey voters in 1976, it was billed as a way to revitalize Atlantic City and provide stable, lasting jobs. The first casino, Resorts, opened in 1978, kicking off three decades of soaring revenue and employment.

But the Great Recession hit just as new casinos were popping up in neighboring Pennsylvania and New York, cutting deeply into Atlantic City's customer base.

of the escalator. When he was about half-way down, he turned around to look at his sister, who was sitting about five steps behind him. At this time he "might have" moved his hand back, but he does not know whether or not he did. Then (he does not know how long afterwards), he felt the little finger of his left hand being caught in the step. The finger was sucked through the step and to the side. This did not occur at the entrance of the steps into the comb plate. His efforts to extract his finger were unsuccessful. Ten or fifteen seconds after the finger was caught, it was amputated. Ronnie did not cry or call for help until the finger had come off.
 The partiesThe public debate on the Greek crisis is focused mainly on its consequences. Its causes and the domestic ones among them, however, are rarely discussed. It is no coincidence that, recently, some analysts have been trying to emphasise in their speeches that, unlike all other European countries with "memorandums," Greece is the only one in which the cause of the crisis is the failure of the public sector.

An important part of it is the pension system. Five years after the beginning of the crisis, articles with the following headlines still appear in the Greek media, "Last chance for early retirement" for insured under the age of 60. At the same time, the unemployment rate is record high, about 26% and stagnation in the economy after the announcement of


Donald Trump controls more than 500 companies -- many of which could create conflicts of interest should he become president.

CNNMoney interviewed ethics lawyers who worked for President George W. Bush, presidential candidates Bob Dole, John Kerry, John McCain and Mitt Romney, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. They all said that Trump would have more potential business conflicts than any former president.

Trump has not committed to selling his businesses, and instead he has said many times that his children and executives would manage them.

"This is certainly going to present an unprecedented ethical dilemma if Trump wins," said Kenneth Gross, a partner at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom, who provided legal assistance to several presidential candidates during their campaigns. "He can't just get amnesia. He's stuck with theup with appearances

Still, most candidates try to eliminate conflicts of interest well before Election Day.

Mitt Romney put his assets into a blind trust during the 2012 presidential campaign. So did Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. The late Jack Kemp left his seat on Oracle's board during the 1996 election. And Nelson Rockefeller offered to put his substantial holdings into a trust while being confirmed by the Senate to serve as Gerald Ford's vice president in 1974.

President Obama opted not to put his money into a blind trust, but his holdings are almost entirely made up of bland investments like U.S. Treasuries and mutual funds.

Trump is in a different situation. Investments can be put into a trust that someone else controls. That's harder


to do with businesses, especially since he has so many.

To truly eliminate a conflict of interest, Trump would have to sell off his businesses and put his proceeds in what's known as a double blind trust. In that arrangement, Trump would have no communication with his chief financial adviser in order to avoid any suggestion of impropriety.

"You rely on a president taking the advice of ethics lawyers to do everything possible -- including the sale of assets -- to avoid a conflict of interest," said Richard Painter, law professor at the University of Minnesota and former ethics attorney for President George W. Bush. "You want the president to keep up with appearances."

Conflicts of interest

Jimmy Carter, like Donald Trump, was a business owner. He held a peanut farm inand Thomas Jefferson held vast plantations in Virginia and did nothing to stem the growth of slavery in the country.

"The greatest tragedy in our country was caused by plantation owners' conflicts of interest," said Painter. "They did not grapple with the slavery issue, and they clearly exacerbated it."

Dick Cheney, while serving as vice president, retained the $34 million in Halliburton stock options he was granted during his tenure as the company's CEO. Though he pledged to donate to charity any money he made off the options, they became a major political issue when the United States went to war in Iraq.

Unlike Trump, Cheney never held a controlling interest in any company.

The closest parallel to Trump might be Bloomberg, who


maintained control of his company, Bloomberg LP, throughout his three terms as New York's mayor. Mayor Bloomberg never set foot in the company's headquarters, but he continued to make big corporate decisions, including acquisitions and major hirings, according to Gross, who handled Bloomberg's financial disclosures.Towers

Towering above the Metroplex
Cedar Hill made history in the 1950s when it became home to what was then known as Hill Tower. At 880 feet above sea level, Cedar Hill’s elevation made it the most desirable location for installation of the broadcast antennas. Hill Tower is the most unique structure ever designed for television transmission from both an engineering standpoint and the fact that it was the first single tower owned and operated by two television stations at the same time.

During this time, then CBS affiliate, KRLD-TV, and ABC affiliate WFAA-TV, were the leading television stations of Dallas. Both stations were in competition for the same location, thus the idea of Hill Tower was born. The tower would reach over 1,500 feet into the sky and be topped


Phantom jet crashed into one of the supporting cables, causing the tower to lean toward Belt Line Road. Fortunately the two pilots ejected safely. Until that time, Hill Tower had not experienced any major problems, and with minimal damage to the tower, it was an easy fix.

Then in October 1996, one of the towers collapsed during a maintenance routine. Three workers were killed, and local television and radio transmissions were knocked out for hours. Hundreds of people gathered in downtown for Country Day witnessed the tower fall. Despite the devastation caused by the collapse, Hill Tower was rebuilt and remains today as a trademark of our community.

On a clear Sunday evening in August 2000, Dr Jannay Valdez of DeSoto sighted a UFO from FM 1382 near the broadcasttowers in Cedar Hill, speeding through the sky west toward Granbury. Then police Chief, Steve Rhodes, said there had been no other UFO sighting reported that night or any other night in his five years as chief. Undeterred, and ignoring skepticism, Dr. Valdez reported the incident to the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico.

Since the construction of Hill Tower, many other local television and radio stations have located here, and more recently, mobile communications technology service providers. Today, Cedar Hill has the highest concentration of radio and television communication antennas in the county with 14 towers reaching several thousand feet into the Texas sky.
