We had a healthy back and forth. He introduced us to Chris Mosier. (For those of you who not already familiar with Chris, he's the first transgender athlete to earn a spot on a U.S. mens national team). He's an amazing athlete and a groundbreaking force in broadening the acceptance of transgender athletes on the world stage.
Despite being in the midst of preparing for the World Duathlon Championships that take place in Spain this weekend, Chris was kind enough to take some time to speak with us. He offered some thoughtful ideas on how we might consider learning from our mistake and evolving as an organization. We are implementing a number of his suggestions and hope to have further conversations with him.

Abstract
Sports gambling has become more of a social norm in society today than in years past; this has paved the way for easy access for people to gamble. Advances in technology have also allowed ease of access to gambling. Internet gambling has promoted habitual gambling and has led people to form addictions. In addition to the effect gambling has on people, it also has affected the competitions being bet on and the behaviors of fans as well as others around those particular fans. Gambling is involved in nearly every aspect of sports, professional or amateur, legal or illegal, through the nature of competition. Fantasy sports have changed the way people look at gambling and has garnered it a new identity. Fantasy sports start | {

habitation, onto its list of permanently disqualifying offenses. That updated rule snagged Ted Brannum.
He was 17 years old when, in 1981, he broke into a Tarrant County house he thought was empty. “I done something stupid that I shouldn’t have,” he said.
The judge agreed, suspending his sentence and placing him on probation. Court records show a judge later set aside Brannum’s conviction. By the time he applied last year for a registration to work as an unarmed security guard, 37 years had passed since the crime.
According to DPS rules, however, that didn’t matter. The agency summarily denied Brannum’s application, and then rejected his appeal.
Six weeks ago, an administrative judge recommended Brannum, now 55, be allowed to become a guard. He said he has offers from two companies, awaitinggraduation, his former ward, the California Youth Authority (now the Division of Juvenile Justice), invited him to apply for a job. His previous life — “a partying hobbyist,” he said — helped him better understand and manage the young offenders. He retired after 28 years.

Weeks after being described by Donald Trump as a “nut job,” James Comey on Thursday deftly recast his confrontation with the president as a clash between the legal principles at the foundation of American democracy, and a venal, self-interested politician who does not recognize, let alone uphold, them.
In sworn testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, made clear that he had no confidence in the president’s integrity. Why? “The nature of the person,” he said. Confronted with low presidential character for the first time in his career, Mr. Comey began writing meticulous notes of every conversation with Mr. Trump. “I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting,” he said.
Mr. Comey said he was stunned during one Ovalvisitor a winter scene of rural Japan, which is both simple in style and stunning in execution, with some marvellous attention to detail and lots of opportunities for the SL photographer.

I found when I tried to apprehend John Bolton, one of the architects of the war in George Bush's government, at the Hay festival in 2008, and as Peter Tatchell found when he tried to detain Robert Mugabe, nothing focuses attention on these issues more than an attempted citizen's arrest. In October I mooted the idea of a bounty to which the public could contribute, payable to anyone who tried to arrest Tony Blair if he became president of the European Union. He didn't of course, but I asked those who had pledged money whether we should go ahead anyway. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
So today I am launching a website – www.arrestblair.org – whose purpose is to raise money as a reward for people attempting a peacefulwell-acquainted with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport!

Our November presentation of The Falling and the Rising was a tremendous success thanks to the new partnerships with Intrepid Spirit Center, Path with Art, Veteran Rites, Puget Sound Music Therapy, MusicWorks4Veterans, and The Red Badge Project—organizations working to improve the lives of veterans in the Puget Sound region. This new American opera about military service, sacrifice, and trauma—issues we struggle to acknowledge and discuss—was also the first production to take place in Tagney Jones Hall.

Regina Hall earned a Film Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance as a protective manager in “Support the Girls” (2018), a smart indie comedy about the women working in a Hooters-like sports bar. On Hulu.
Netflix released “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” (2018, not rated), a feature-length episode of the dark science fiction series presented as a video game-like interactive experience, without advance notice last week. There are dozens of choices and multiple endings but, due to technical requirements, it is not available on all devices (notably Apple TV and Google Chromecast).
Classic pick: Marilyn Monroe is the bubbly gold digger dance partner to wry, man-hungry Jane Russell in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” (1953), Howard Hawks’ twist on buddy film machismo. It’s a delightful, hilarious farce with great musicalrecommendations.
Eighteen years ago, a man named Mark Hogencamp was brutally beaten by five men outside of a bar in Kingston, N.Y. The assault put him in a coma for over a week and left him with permanent brain damage and little memory of his previous life. To cope, he constructed an elaborate miniature World War II-era Belgian town where he would create fantasy sequences with dolls representing himself, his friends and even his assailants, and photographed them. He called the town Marwencol and the eccentric and fascinating scene caught the attention of the art world, the media and eventually became the subject of an acclaimed 2010 documentary.

building at Pearl and Pine streets downtown. Between a smaller residential population and more lenient zoning requirements, he said they felt less resistance.
"Businesses are generally in favor of residential projects because they are looking to expand their customer base," he said. "The city is actively looking to revitalize downtown, so the process tends to be streamlined when there is an active effort to bring new life to an area."
On the flip side, the developer was met with resistance from some Pine Hills neighbors when Jankow initially proposed the redevelopment of the former Playdium Bowling alley site at 363 Ontario St.
Jankow said residents' input was taken into consideration in the planning for three four-story buildings with 109 apartments and upwards of 6,000 square feet of retail space.

With the onset of the college basketball season, storylines abound. Some local programs are trying to put last season’s disappointing endings in the rearview mirror, while others are trying to build on successful campaigns. Let’s take a tour around Massachusetts as the regular season tips off tonight:
Boston College: Junior Jerome Robinson and sophomore Ky Bowman make up what some believe to be the best backcourt in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but the Eagles will need more contributions elsewhere if they’re going to rise from the basement of the league. Fifth-year senior forward Deontae Hawkins should help that cause. The transfer from Illinois State arrives after nearly leading the Redbirds to an NCAA tournament bid last season. He gives BC a dimension in the frontcourt that coach Jim Christianrun at a league title. Fifth-year senior Cedric Hankerson will carry much of the load, and the Terriers will need to figure out how to operate at point guard after the departure of Kyle Foreman. Freshman forward Walter Whyte figures to make some immediate contributions.
Harvard: The Crimson are the best team in Massachusetts, and the preseason Ivy League favorite has a strong chance to return to the postseason after coming up short in the inaugural Ivy tournament last year.
Program pillars Siyani Chambers and Zena Edosomwan are gone, but Harvard has loads of talent.

was one of the largest in recent U.S. history, twice the size of the 1993 Branch Davidian raid in Waco, Texas, which initially involved 76 ATF agents. It almost rivaled the recent 200-strong statewide manhunt for California cop-killing cop, Christopher Dorner. Yet only a few local stories emerged and those presented a hysterical portrait of Porter while largely under-reporting the police presence.
Why the raid?
The Maryland State Police did not notify town officials or Washington County Sheriff Douglas Mullendore, who learned of the raid after it began, when it requested the use of his SWAT Team and Bearcat. The MSP also set up a command center at a campground within the national park without notifying the Park Police. Bills have since been introduced in the Maryland legislature by Washingtonwasting time on seeming trifles. But their daily efforts, which go largely unreported, paint a much more balanced picture. For example, the MSP Gang Enforcement Unit has aggressively investigated violent street gangs, one of the largest sources of gun violence.
Between 2010 and 2012 alone, the Gang Unit made 621 gang arrests and seized 94 firearms. This does not include their extensive work with multi-agency task forces. Here, they have participated in successful operations against such violent gangs as the Crips and Bloods, Wise Guyz, B-6, the Black Guerrilla Family, Juggalos, the Dead Man Incorporated crime syndicate and others, and have brought many of these offenders to justice.

history of lynching blacks and voter suppression.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant appointed Hyde-Smith to the Senate in April to replace Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Mississippi, who retired for health reasons.
She was supposed to enjoy an easy path to election following a Nov. 6 primary that included her, Espy and conservative Republican firebrand Chris McDaniel.
But the runoff turned into a referendum on race and Mississippi’s racial past after two videos surfaced earlier this month that thrust Hyde-Smith into controversy and put her uncomfortably in the national spotlight.
The first video showed Hyde-Smith at a campaign event earlier this month saying that she would be “on the front row” if a supporter whom she knew invited her to a “public hanging.”
The second video showed her telling a group at another campaign stop thisthe assassination of JFK, the death of Marilyn Monroe, the Watts riots of 1965, and the north-east black out of that same year. Numerous cultural icons show up throughout the series, including The Beatles, Jim Morrison, Ed Sullivan, and Timothy Leary, as well as real-life figures from politics, science, and UFOlogy, such as Harry Truman, Allen Dulles, Nelson Rockefeller, J. Edgar Hoover, J. Allen Hynek, and Carl Sagan.

TC Gopalakrishnan's insight:
J. Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986) has been regarded as one of the greatest spiritual teachers of all times. Free from affiliation to any religion or school of thought, he talked rom his own state of inner transformation that could take his listeners to higher dimensions of awareness. His messages bring about a paradigm shift in the minds of those who are open to the esoteric side of life.

supposed to take him home, but instead took him to a secluded area, stripped him naked and shot him dead, later claiming Mansur had made a lunge for his gun.” Now, Behenna has a presidential pardon and Ali Mansur Mohammed is still dead.
Who else is in line for a possible pardon? The list includes Nicholas Slatten, a former contractor for Blackwater, twice convicted of murder in federal court for his part in the infamous Nisour Square massacre of 14 civilians in Baghdad in 2007. Blackwater, you may recall, was a mercenary outfit owned until 2010 by Erik Prince, a Trump confidant and the brother of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Also under consideration for pardons:
Army Major Matthew Golsteyn, a Green Beret accused of murdering an unarmed Afghan

However, in a move that would presage Donald Trump's order to release Eddie Gallagher, the day after Calley's conviction, President Richard Nixon arranged for him to be moved to Fort Benning, Georgia, where he lived under house arrest until his parole a mere three-and-a-half years later.

Though his criticisms had been the object of fierce remonstrance earlier in his career, by 1877 Ruskin’s word was taken as gospel by many, for whom it enshrined principles that went to the heart of an industrialized, mercantilist society even as Ruskin critiqued that society. The very crudity of Ruskin’s attack is an indication that he was counting on his preeminence as a critic and an art economist to carry the day.
Though blind to Whistler’s artistic merits, Ruskin’s criticism was motivated by politico-economic principles that manyPater had accommodated himself to fiction, eschewing any direct acknowledgment of the critic’s cultural prerogatives. The intervening years, which witnessed the death of Matthew Arnold as well as Ruskin’s descent into periodic madness and seeming irrelevance (despite the fitful brilliance of such works as The Storm-Cloud of the Nineteenth Century and Praeterita), had also seen a corresponding elevation and broadening of the concept of the artist. New galleries had opened (see, for example, Pamela Fletcher, “On the Rise of the Commercial Art Gallery in London”), new technologies allowed visual work to be reproduced more broadly, and during the period of Whistler’s association with it (1884-88), the Society of British Artists saw not merely an exponential growth in membership but also the award of a Royal Charter.

actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban—read African-American—voter-turnout machine,” Franklin County Republican Chair Doug Preisse infamously told the Columbus Dispatch in August. Black voters in Cuyahoga County used in-person early voting at a rate twenty-six times greater than whites in 2008, according to a new study by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.
97,000 votes were cast in Ohio in 2008 during the last three days of the election, which Husted and the Ohio GOP want to eliminate (except for Republican-learning members of the military), and two courts recently reinstated. “The majority (57 percent) of these 97,000 votes were cast in thirteen larger counties, disproportionately affecting African-Americans and low-income voters,” found a report from the Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates. The Obama campaign argued inAs US authorities continue with Operation in Our Sites, putting pressure on file-sharing services and seizing their domains, for some it is all to easy to champion a heroic fight back against these "forces of evil". But for the admins of one site targeted by ICE and DHS, the thought of being extradited to the US is a step too far. What started off as fun was turning into something else. Today they announce that "enough is enough."
Spoiled by the militant style of The Pirate Bay founders, who raised their middle fingers at some of the most powerful corporate and governmental organizations in the world, many in the file-sharing community feel that utter defiance is the only approach to dealing with copyright-related adversity.

Marcus Rashford was thrust into the senior spotlight in February 2016 – with spectacular results – and has not looked back since.
The homegrown youth product has already come such a long way in a short time and having the happy knack of scoring on his debuts has helped. He netted twice against Midtjylland when thrust into the spotlight in a Europa League tie and followed it up with a brace against Arsenal on his Premier League bow.
The fleet-footed forward found the net on his first England appearance, within a couple of minutes of the 2-1 win over Australia at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light to become the youngest man to score on his Three Lions debut, beating Tommy Lawton’s 1938 record.
A famous derby winner at Manchester City and crucialFA Cup replay goal on the way to winning the trophy under Louis van Gaal continued his sharp upward trajectory, which continued with representing his country at Euro 2016. A new contract until 2020, with the option of a further year, was just reward for his meteoric rise to stardom.
After being involved in 53 games in all competitions in the following season, getting off the mark when coming off the bench to hit an injury-time winner at Hull City early in the campaign, it was obvious he was no flash in the pan. Indeed, Jose Mourinho continued to show faith in the youngster as he was constantly involved and bagged a memorable double in a 2-1 home victory against Liverpool in 2018.

12:40 GMT – Spain: Was coronavirus already spreading a month before lockdown?
Recent scientific research suggests that Spain, the country that currently has the most coronavirus cases in Europe, was hit by COVID-19 much earlier than previously thought.
The study by researchers from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III in Madrid indicates that one clade – a virus “family” derived from a single ancestor – of coronavirus was present in mainland Spain as early as February 14.
That was a full month before the country went into lockdown, and a time when officials worldwide were still trying to understand the scale of the virus.

Public funding in professional sports may seem like an obscure proposal to those looking at it through the Premier League’s privately-funded, billionaire-run specs. But according to MLS2LV, in American sport it has proven to be a viable alternative.
In recent soccer-specific stadium constructions, the likes of Orlando City, Houston Dynamo, Sporting Kansas City, Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC have successfully used public funds, the organisation claims (though figures seen were unattributed). Sporting Kansas City, for example, created their $200m stadium, Sporting Park, which opened in May 2011, by using $50m of their own money and $150m funded through sale tax revenue bonds. In 2013 the team, who have seen a huge spike in popularity, won the MLS title in their new home.
“In the likes of Kansasa 33% of the community is Spanish-speaking or Latino, makes for not only a home demographic that on paper will lean towards supporting a local team, but also the potential for football-loving tourists to catch the occasional match, Mayor Goodman said.
Justin Findlay noted that through very little outreach, his group has already received nearly 6,000 committed season-ticket requests from locals. This makes up one-third of the 18,000-plus fans MLS2LV proposes the stadium will need in order to see a return for the funds put in by the city.
“I think there is a huge future for soccer in Las Vegas,” said councilman Bob Beers, who is opposed to proposals being put forward by MLS2LV. “We would all like to see this happen, but the question is this: is this | {

Music so forward-thinking it still sounded futuristic when Stereolab started imitating it three decades later, Contact marked the high point of Brigitte Bardot's pop career and ranks alongside the very best work Serge Gainsbourg ever produced. Accompanied by clanking, whirring loops, Bardot spits out lyrics about meteorites and space suits like an angry Barbarella. It's fitting that one of the most electrifying songs of the 1960s was performed by a star whose raw vivacity revolutionised the world's image of France.
It was almost inevitable thatchanson, seen by some as France's indigenous version of soul music, would be influenced by the lush Philly sound that came to dominate the US in the early 70s. Replacing the sweet falsetto of the original with an earthy growl, Nicoletta's cover of the Stylistics' Can't Give You Anything (But My Love) brought the two together magnificently. The song foreshadowed the glorious rise of French disco-pop that saw the likes of Dalida, Sheila & B Devotion, Patrick Hernandez and Santa Esmeralda conquer the European charts.
Having mastered disco, French producers set about dismantling it and rebuilding the genre in remarkable new configurations.

In February 1991, during the Gulf war, I found myself standing on the Saudi-Kuwait border, watching British infantrymen taking in Iraqi prisoners who were slipping across no-man’s land in their twos and threes, desperate to surrender. The British were well prepared: there were large stockpiles of bottled water, tents and waiting vehicles.
Occasionally something went wrong, there were misunderstandings – especially at dawn or dusk – and people were hurt, but, by and large, what I witnessed was a humanitarian operation. The Iraqis were brought under shelter, rehydrated, given time to smoke, and then moved on. It was touching to see the care that someof the young British troops took when handling their enemies; conscripts who were bedraggled and terror-stricken after weeks of air bombardment.
Twelve years later I found myself with the British forces moving through Basra, clearing out pockets of opposition, sometimes dying in the process. At Saddam Hussein’s palace on the banks of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, I turned a corner and came across a long row of Iraqi prisoners. They had hoods over their heads, their hands were plasti-cuffed behind their backs and they were kneeling bolt-upright in the sun.
An hour later I returned: the prisoners were still there, kneeling in the same positions.
Later that day a couple of army medics sidled up and confided that they had just been called upon to revive a prisoner who was being | {

Hindu temple volunteer hacked to death in Bangladesh
A Hindu temple worker was hacked to death in western Bangladesh Friday, police said, the latest in a series of attacks on religious minorities by suspected Islamists.
Police in western Bangladesh in mid-June 2016 armed villagers with bamboo sticks and whistles in an effort to deter Islamist militants from attacking people of minority faiths
Shyamananda Das, who helped to conduct prayers at the Radhamadan Gopal Bigraha Math in Jhenaidah district, was killed by three men on a motorcycle as he was walking on a highway adjacent to his temple early in the morning, police said.
“They hacked him on his neck three times and there was one stabbing mark in his head,” deputy police chief of the district Gopinath Kanjilal said.”He died after hemorning. City’s five stars hotels have been booked to accommodate the VVIPs attending the ceremony. However, due to the peak tourist season most city hotels, particularly the 5-stars are finding it difficult to provide accommodation to the visiting guests.
Over 50 thousands visitors are expected to attend the ceremony for which arrangements are being made within the building premises and outside Janpath, sources said.
Seating arrangements, drinking water facility, parking and security among other arrangements were being finalised till late night for visitors who will attend the programme at Janpath.

Melissa is possessed by a worm-like demon (later revealed to be Abaddon), and before it's all over, the circle and Cassie's grandmother try to perform an exorcism. The demon transfers to Melissa's boyfriend, Nick, who is drowned to kill the demon.
Viewers see the demon-worm crawling underneath skin. A suitcase full of snakes is set on fire and whacked with a baseball bat. We see several occult rituals involving magic circles, herbs, crystals, candles and a great deal of chanting.
Nick wakes an apparently naked Melissa (she's in bed, mostly covered) by kissing her shoulder. Adam and Diana share a long make-out session: Clothes are removed (revealing skimpy underwear), and the two utilize a can of whipped cream. A possessed Melissa makes a lesbian pass at Faye.
Teens speculatehow he had been scared when the film came out as it was based on the book written by his ex-wife but after seeing the film he realised it was a very truthful and realistic take on his life.

ongoing clinical trials at NYU, using psilocybin to treat alcohol addiction — are part of the resurgence of psychedelic research taking place at several American universities, including Johns Hopkins, UCLA, the University of New Mexico, as well as at Imperial College, in London, and the University of Zurich.
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has been at the forefront of research in treating patients suffering from chronic treatment-resistant PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) with MDMA, commonly known as “Ecstasy”.
File photo of a man holding a giant fake mushroom during protests against a planned ban on all hallucinogenic "magic" mushrooms (Reuters)
MAPS got a big boost when the FDA recently designated its MDMA-assisted psychotherapy project as a “breakthrough therapy”, a move that took many observers by surprise.
Apart from MDMA, MAPS alsoeverything with which it came into contact, beginning with the hierarchies of the mind… and going on from there to society’s various structures of authority” says Michael Pollan in How To Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics.
The book is a deeply researched and highly engaging chronicle of the pre-modern history of psychedelics, their early adoption by the Woodstock generation, subsequent state suppression and their mainstream revival interwoven with Pollan’s personal account as a middle-aged psychedelic novice, hugely transformed by his experiences.
Turn on, tune in, drop out is a counterculture-era phrase popularised by Timothy Leary in 1966.

Politically motivated imprisonment is only one of many traits, domestic and international, that Putin’s regime shares with the Soviet Union. What is new is the seeming indifference of Western leaders to the plight of political prisoners in Russia. In Soviet times, American presidents of both parties demanded — and secured — the release of prominent prisoners of conscience. There are still people of principle in Western politics: Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) hosted the Washington launch of the political prisoner report, while former Canadian attorney general Irwin Cotler will represent Shevchenko as international counsel. Yet top-level meetings between Western and Kremlin officials are notable for the absence of any discussion of RussianUSC used to hold its homecoming parades on Wilshire Boulevard, the grander thoroughfare that for years was the go-to place for big celebrations.
But the route used this week ended up being inspired after all -- because it ended at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
The real party Wednesday was inside the great old stadium, built before the 1932 Olympics and the host of two memorable Summer Games. They even lit the flame for the Lakers.
I remember past parades where several thousand people would line Broadway then try to squeeze into the sad little park outside the south entrance of City Hall. So I was blown away when every available seat in the Coliseum was taken – we’re talking something like 80,000 people.

Agents with the Madera County Narcotic Enforcement Team said they dismantled four greenhouses filled with plants during the pot bust on Thursday in O’Neals, an unincorporated community 30 miles north of Fresno. No arrests have been made.
Madera County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Erica Stuart says some of the greenhouses were nearly as large as football fields. Agents found another 100 starter plants that were ready to be put into the ground and a 2,600-gallon tank used to water the plants.
The cultivation setup was hidden amid rolling hills on a 40-acre private property. Stuartwould not identify the property’s owner because the investigation is ongoing.

The events of the past week in Egypt took the Obama administration by surprise. It did not foresee the mass revolt against Washington’s longtime asset, Hosni Mubarak. Even as tens of thousands of workers and youth were defying police violence last Tuesday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was vouching for the stability of the regime.
The United States is heavily invested—politically, economically and militarily—in the Mubarak regime. Its reluctance to dispense summarily with the dictator is not an expression of sentimentality. Rather, the United States fears that the too rapid ditching of Mubarak will undermine the confidence of other dictators on the CIA payroll in the reliability of Washington.
However, in the final analysis, Mubarak’s fate is a secondary matter. Of incomparably greater concern to Washingtonhas, in the short term, two aims: to shore up the Egyptian military and intelligence apparatus—hence the appointment of intelligence chief and former general Omar Suleiman as vice president—and to prepare a political alternative to Mubarak if his removal proves necessary. But any replacement sanctioned by Washington will be nothing more than a puppet providing pseudo-democratic window dressing for a new military regime.
One candidate for the job is Mohamed ElBaradei, who is being promoted by the US media. A trusted representative of the Egyptian bourgeoisie, ElBaradei flew to Egypt from his home in Vienna last week for the explicit purpose of heading off a revolutionary overthrow and rescuing the bourgeois regime.

It's hard to believe now, but Allen's Landing was once Houston's very nexus of commerce, a place thronged by sweaty stevedores and dapper, haggling cotton factors. Today all that's left are some neglected monuments to mark the spot where the steamboats once took on great bales of cotton and chugged south towards Galveston and thence to the world.
There are also the ruins of a more recent phenomenon, the hulking remains of what in the 1960s was the Love Street Light Circus, home to many an acid-drenched 13th Floor Elevators happening. Today, Love Street's bayou frontage is a latrine, the stairs of the fire escape are rotting, thewindows are broken and pigeons flap from out of the gaping holes.
At a nearby picnic table, we found 54-year-old Billy Temple sharing a bag of hot and spicy pork rinds with a buddy. Though neither appeared to be drunk, a cap to a bottle of Cobra malt liquor rested on the table.
Temple is 54 and a native of Pasadena. He spent 21 years as a long-haul truck driver, and then his heart gave out; after five heart attacks, he couldn't pass a company-mandated stress test. With his white-line fever days finished for good, he now lives off a $600 monthly disability check.

in the negative. Kelly again initially denied any involvement in the deaths of the family prior to giving his second confession. Kelly was then rearrested and charged with three counts of manslaughter. The charges were later upgraded to three counts of depraved heart murder. Trial was held on Monday, November 3, 1997; Kelly was convicted of three counts of manslaughter. At trial Kelly disavowed his confession and claimed it was coerced out of him by threats and promises. He claimed to have had no contact with his wife and children after their car broke down and they left for Tina's mother's house on foot; in short, he claimed alibi.

HBO Films has released a new teaser announcing a May 19th premiere date for “Fahrenheit 451,” the upcoming telemovie based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel.
Directed by Ramin Bahrani (“99 Homes”) and written by Bahrani & Amir Naderi, the story is set in a future where the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and ‘firemen’ burn books.
Michael B. Jordan portrays Montag, a young fireman who forsakes his world and struggles to regain his humanity as he battles his mentor, fire captain Beatty, played by Michael Shannon. Sofia Boutella also stars in the film which was shot in Toronto.Spring is in the air and new life abounds. There are baby ducks in the pond, butterflies and ladybugs, trees in bloom, and flowers everywhere. Mama Bluebird watches proudly as Baby Bluebird tries his wings, showers are possible, and cute bunnies have yo-yo tails. Flying geese, log cabins, and checkerboard complete the look of spring in this lighthearted celebration of the end of winter. This sampler is rotary cut and uses no templates.

The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: ''You're right. It's terrible.''
The official, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, says the NFL never followed up. The person can't confirm if anyone at the NFL watched the video.
The person said he shared the video - which he was unauthorized to release - because he wanted the NFL to have it before deciding onKhan Mohammadi, but he has so far remained in his position.
A man suspected of being an insurgent, who had been arrested but then released by Afghan authorities, detonated a remote controlled bomb on the side of a road near Kabul on Tuesday, killing eight civilians in a minibus (NYT, AP, VOA). Police say the attacker was standing in plain sight when he detonated the bomb, and may have been targeting a different vehicle carrying employees of the Defense Ministry that was behind the van with the civilians.

This body was first set up in 2004 to monitor the paramilitary ceasefires and completed its work in 2011.

By our correspondent
5 March 2020
Prominent Sri Lankan journalist Gihan de Chickera and Sajith Bandara, a young cartoonist, issued statements to the WSWS this week defending imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and endorsing the international campaign for his freedom.
They have condemned the attempt to dispatch Assange from Britain to the US, where he faces the prospect of 175 years imprisonment under the draconian Espionage Act. Their statements were made days after the first week of the British extradition court hearing, which began on February 25, and can only be described as a show-trial.
Chickera is a well-known journalist and cartoonist who has been working at the Daily Mirror, one of Sri Lanka’s highest circulation newspapers for more than fifteen years. | {

At which point, Etheridge’s team headed inside and we found our seats in the auditorium. Ten minutes later, free of her sunglasses and baseball cap disguise, Melissa Etheridge joined Sheryl Crow on stage, apologising for her tardiness because she couldn’t resist sneaking across the road to watch the footy.
For the rest of the concert, Etheridge talked about footy, female empowerment, the LGBTIQ community, the irony of her performing in Margaret Court Arena, the amazing AFLW community, and more footy. It was a mutual appreciation society and one of the more empowering moments I can remember. Her voice is still a powerhouse of sultry rage, and her stage presenceAbout

Human rights groups are rejecting the government's account.
"Instead of punishing them for speaking out against the sexual abuse of children, the authorities should praise them and hold the perpetrators accountable" tweeted Amnesty International's South Asia office.
Before their detention, the activists had reached out to rights groups and some journalists, expressing concern for their safety.
"Hours before his detention, Mussa told the Guardian (newspaper) how he had been receiving threats and believed he was under surveillance by Afghan security services," reported The Guardian Monday.
According to The Guardian, which broke the story earlier this month, multiple victims have since been murdered, sometimes by their own relatives.

Once found across almost half the continent, the marsupial's population has contracted to isolated pockets in south-western Australia, and it is estimated there are fewer than 10,000 adult red-tailed phascogales left in the wild.
To try to boost the threatened species' population, 19 of the animals have been taken from populations in Western Australia's south-west and driven 300 kilometres north to the Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary.
The fenced off enclosure is the state's largest feral cat-free zone.
Dr Ruykys said with successful breeding and more translocations, the Mid West population could eventually grow to about 1,300.
"Obviously that'll substantially improve the conservation prospects for this species longer term," she said.

Dr Ruykys said the animals had a unique and intriguing courtship system.

When I finally resurfaced - hours after a man told me that I had eyeballs in my face - it was light out. I had to shield my eyes, like a mole-person.

Same-store sales at restaurants open for more than a year in the United States rose 2.4 percent in the quarter, its slowest growth in at least 15 quarters. Analysts had estimated a 2.84 percent rise, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
The slowdown in the market came despite the company offering half off on online orders for a week in August and launching a 20 percent off offer for late-night orders in September.

tracks provide an exciting contrast to the rest of the album's delicate atmosphere. Björk's playful energy ignites the dance-pop-like "Big Time Sensuality" and turns the genre on its head with "There's More to Life Than This." Recorded live at the Milk Bar Toilets, it captures the dancefloor's sweaty, claustrophobic groove, but her impish voice gives it an almost alien feel. But the album's romantic moments may be its most striking; "Venus as a Boy" fairly swoons with twinkly vibes and lush strings, and Björk's vocals and lyrics -- "His wicked sense of humor/Suggests exciting sex" -- are sweet and just the slightest bit naughty. With harpist Corky Hale, she completely reinvents "Like Someone in Love," making it one of her own ballads. Possibly her prettiest work, Björk's horizons (D.N.M.)

The front desk of my apartment building was robbed last week. The thief made off with two laptops and a drawer full of rent checks. This alone indicated some doubt about his criminal ability, since it would be difficult to cash a lot of checks made out to a building. However, this was only the start of the young man's mistakes.
He then entered the basement garage area, where he was in the process of stealing an expensive bike when the owner, a young woman, showed up. The alleged thief hid in a storage closet, dragging the bike in with him. She looked around, did not see her bike, and did see the closet door ajar. She opened it and threw a fit, demanding not | {

This made the park the only area in the city in which Berlin’s narcotics law was fully enforced. Officially, the cultivation, possession, and trade of cannabis are criminal offences in Berlin. However, if someone is found to be carrying up to 15 grams of cannabis, they are very unlikely to be prosecuted – unless they are deemed to be promoting cannabis use to minors.

JESUP, Ga. — A year after a freight train plowed into crew members for a movie about singer Gregg Allman, killing a young camera assistant, the film's director was sentenced to two years in jail Monday as part of a plea deal.
In a rare case of a filmmaker being prosecuted for a death on a movie set, "Midnight Rider" director Randall Miller pleaded guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing as part of the last-minute deal in southeast Georgia.
Prosecutors agreed to drop charges against Miller's wife and business partner, Jody Savin. The movie's executive producer, Jay Sedrish, also pleaded guilty and got 10 years on probation.
All three were to stand trialfor the Feb. 20, 2014, train collision that killed 27-year-old camera assistant Sarah Jones of Atlanta and injured six other crew members on a railroad bridge in rural southeast Georgia. Her death galvanized behind-the-scenes film workers nationwide to push for improved safety standards on sets.
"We hope the sacrifice of our daughter's life will continue to change the film industry," Jones' father, Richard Jones, told reporters outside the courthouse. "I believe it sends a message, frankly, that if you do not respect those you're in charge of, you may end up behind bars."
Prosecutors said all three defendants knew that CSX Transportation, which owned the trestle spanning the Altamaha River, had denied them permission in writing to film on its tracks.

NO LONGER ENCUMBERED BY ANY SENSE OF FAIR PLAY, EX-JOURNALISTS RETURN TO ACTIVE DUTY TO FIGHT THE TRUMPIAN MENACE!
From Russia, with . . . love?
A street mural in Vilnius, Lithuania shows Vladimir Putin and the 45th president of the United States . . . best friends.
At some point during the presidential campaign, political observers began to be concerned about strong connections between the organization that produced The Current President (TCP), and the Russian government, specifically Vladimir Putin.
For years, TCP has been in business dealings with his Russian peers, and since he’s an international operator, as are they, most of us would not begrudge him those contacts.
However, a troubling pattern occurred, with people who were a part of his campaign having close ties of their own with Russia.
Cases inpoint:
Paul Manafort — The former campaign manager for TCP, has business ties to former Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych, who fled his country to Russia and lives there still. A ledger was unearthed that seems to show that Manafort received payments of nearly $13 million.
Carter Page — formerly listed as a policy adviser to the presidential campaign, he has wide business dealings with Russian business interests. But TCP has said he has never met Page.
Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret.) — now national security adviser for TCP — was close to Russia before it was cool. Less than 18 months ago, Flynn sat next to Putin at a state dinner in Moscow. He has long recommended that the United States and Russia work together on the problem of ISIS. There are | {

Carl Smith
Carl Smith is an American artist that has been living in Berlin, Germany since 2001. He works with a combination of silkscreen printing, collage, and painting. Smith is originally from SantaFe, New Mexico, and studied art at The Cooper Union in New York.
Smith explores the area between Pop Art and Surrealism. He combines his own photographic materials with drawings and other narrative fragments. He works with several layout combinations before creating a finished image. From this finished layout, he selects and transmits individual pieces onto a canvas through screen-printing and further completes his works with oil paint. With the use of found images he tells slightly absurd and humorous visual anecdotes. The process of making these narrative works is what Smith refers to as, “drawing with pictures.” | {

program has grown by leaps since it was established in 2001, more than tripling in size largely due to Republican dominance in Tallahassee. Last year, $229 million in corporate taxes was diverted from the state treasury into private scholarship funds. About 83 percent of the approximately 50,000 students using the scholarships attend religious schools.
At the Kingsway Christian Academy in Orange County, the school gets about $1.4 million in state scholarships that fund 318 out of its 408 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The school uses the A Beka Book series that intersperses religious dogma into its science curriculum, teaching biblical creationism and denouncing as heretical the evolution theory of man's origin.

when an enticing set is sold out, as many tend to be, you have to be resourceful and willing to roll with the punches. Marc Ribot’s set with a string section at one of the off-Broadway theatres had a ridiculously long line of hopefuls waiting in vain to get in. But back at the church, Battle Trance were more than an impromptu Plan B: what a revelation the tenor sax quartet – Travis Laplante, Matthew Nelson, Jeremy Viner and Patrick Breiner – turned out to be. Beginning with barely a whisper, negotiating their way calmly and envelopingly through a baroque-tinged, cleverly polyrhythmic, interlocking minimalist sonic lattice, they rose to a mighty exchange of glisses (Coltrane would call them arpeggios), an understated display of extended technique and circular breathing.may sound like a Saturday Night Live skit, but the studio album is a mix of upbeat, dancefloor-ready jazz (when was the last time you heard that, huh?), just now reissued with a bonus ecstatic live cd mining a sly, devious vibe that’s pure punk rock. The band behind him – bassist Ernst Glerum, drummer Joost Patocka (of Euro-jazz doyenne Rita Reys’ band), keyboardist Willem Friede and guitar cult hero Anton Goudsmit – straddle the line between precision and abandon (more the latter than the former), with predictably entertaining results. The point of all this seems to be how far outside they can take Mengelberg’s often stunningly memorable, melodic compositions.

It was perhaps no surprise that her posthumously published book became a bestseller. Because it was grim testament to the fact that despite being hunted for nearly half a century, after committing at least 12 murders and 45 rapes between the years of 1976 and 1986, the Golden State Killer was still at large.
He was, they said, “California’s most prolific uncaught serial killer”.
Until now.
On Tuesday, inquiries led police to a suburban house with an immaculately tended lawn in Citrus Heights, Sacramento County, California, to an inhabitant regarded by his neighbours as “a nice old grandpa”.
By Wednesday morning Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, had been charged with two counts of murder in northern California and four counts of murder in Orange County, in the southern part of the state.
If the18 June 1976, police received a call from a 23-year-old woman in Rancho Cordova, Sacramento.
She was speaking into a telephone as best she could while lying on the floor with her hands bound so tightly behind her back that she had lost the blood circulation in them.
The masked man had attacked her in her bed, pressing a four-inch knife against her head and telling her: “If you make one move or sound, I’ll stick this knife in you.”
He bound, gagged and raped her, without once removing his gloves.
Over the next six months, it is believed, the East Area Rapist struck at a rate of more than one sex attack a month. By the end of the year he had forced, or attempted to force himself on eight women.

personal expression and a choice of imagery or subject matter selected from popular culture. The art car artist is a pioneer of a new image of the automobile, an image which in its diversity reflects fundamental changes in popular consciousness, changes based on the desire for greater independence and individual rights. All art cars are subversive and have in common the transformation of the vehicle from a factory-made commodity into a personal statement or expression.
The aesthetic of the Art Car Museum draws from a fusion of the traditions of fine, folk and public art. The Museum features the most imaginative, elaborate and artfully constructed art cars, low riders and mobile contraptions as well as revolving exhibitions of art by local, national and international artists of all media. Inaddition to curated exhibitions, a unique opportunity is provided through the annual open call show for the artistic community to voice their response, via their artwork, to a topic of importance presented by the Museum.
Often considered the ‘Art Car Capital’, Houston has the largest number of art cars of any city. Art cars are fine art essentially free of the conventions and contradictions of the marketplace and the art world. The Museum’s distinctive scrap metal and chrome exterior was created by car artist David Best and provides an imaginative indication of the extraordinary constructions to be found inside.

A transgender high school student from Virginia is challenging his school’s restroom policy in court.
The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., will hear arguments Wednesday in the lawsuit brought forward by Gloucester High School junior Gavin Grimm, who was born female but identifies as male.
Bathroom access has become central in the debate over how far schools and other public facilities should go to accommodate people who are transgender. Transgender advocates say that people should be free to use the restroom designated for whichever gender they identify with most. The Obama administration has come out in support of the practice and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued best practice guidelines that encourage employers to provide access to bathrooms that correspond to employees'laws against blood-seeking mourners or the Apollonian determination of Socrates in the _Phaedo._ 4 Yet the early Islamic resistance to the "pre-Islamic" rites of mourning is worth discussing because it was highly ambitious and differentiated. This movement played out in different forms not only in Arabia and Mesopotamia, but also in the two main branches of Islam, the Sunni and the Shī'ite. Moreover, as opposition to the ritual gained adherents, it undermined to some degree women's ability to practice one of their traditional public rituals undisturbed. Hence the social repercussions were profound.
This examination will shed light on the approach of early Islamic pietists to the problem of women's ritual action and the relationship between the sexes. In doing so, it makes a contribution to the history of gender. | {

The mother balled up on the bathroom floor of their Roslindale apartment, covered herself with her injured hands, and screamed and prayed as her assailant flailed away with the foot-long knife he had pulled from the kitchen drawer.
Nineteen years ago, an assailant slashed Yolanda eight times, vowing to kill her and the fetus she was carrying.
Today, a new life awaits that daughter, Yonetta Harris. She will enter the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester on nearly a full scholarship this fall, having spent the last four years balancing rigorous academics, part-time work at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the assorted demands of a stellar three-sport athlete (soccer, basketball, softball) at O’Bryant High School in Boston.

3 Ted Bundy
One of the most notorious murderers in history, Ted Bundy was known as “Lady Killer” because he would kidnap, rape, and violently assault and murder pretty young women. He was also one of the most deranged killers you could hope to come across, considering he was also a necrophile (yes, that means exactly what it sounds like). Let’s just say he liked to revisit his deceased victims from time to time.
It was in August of 1975 that Bundy was finally caught in Utah by Highway Patrol Sergeant Bob Hayward. And just how did Hayward manage to track down Bundy? It wasn’t difficult. He spotted what he considered to be a suspicious-looking vehicle driving through his neighborhood at 2:30 AM, and when he attempted to pullover the VW Beetle, Bundy took off in an effort to evade him. When Hayward finally caught up to Bundy, a look in the backseat revealed apparent burglary tools in plain sight.

In 1995, America saw an unprecedented act of domestic terrorism when the Federal Building in Oklahoma City was blown up via explosives planted in a truck. The attack killed 168 people and injured more than 800, and it was the most deadly terrorist attack to take place on American soil until 9/11. Through good investigative work, authorities were able to learn that Timothy McVeigh had been the one to rent the truck used in the explosion. But there was still the matter of finding and arresting him.

In order to investigate the slime of an Australian velvet worm species, the biologist worked closely with researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam. The chemist Stephan Schmidt, for example, now a junior professor at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, helped to elucidate the nanostructure of the slime. A research group headed by biochemist Matt Harrington in the Biomaterials Department of the Potsdam Institute focused on other questions concerning the chemical composition and molecular processing. The interdisciplinary group of scientists was particularly interested in how the composition and structure of the secretion changes during thread formation.

filled with liberal hosts and analysts who regularly spew antipathy toward our President. In the aftermath of the infamous White House meeting focused on solving immigration problems including how to deal with DACA recipients, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) claimed that the President used the word “s...hole” in reference to Haiti and countries in Africa. During the meeting, Trump supposedly asked why the United States should accept more people from those countries instead of countries such as Norway.
Even though the President and two Republican Senators disputed the fact that the crude word was used, CNN decided to air the word “s...hole” 196 times in just one day. This unfortunate decision shows their lack of broadcast standards and common decency. Surely parents with small children, as well as adultsaccept a positive medical report delivered by a source with impeccable credentials.
This week, the President also announced his highly anticipated “Fake News Awards.” Among all news outlets, CNN was the overwhelming winner in the unsavory category of “Fake News” by winning four of the ten awards. No other news outlet came close, as clearly CNN stands atop the media world in this area.
Of course, this did not sit well with White House Correspondent Jim Acosta who claimed that the President, not his network, was the “King of Fake News.” Acosta had a tough week after being publicly scolded at news conferences by both White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mick Mulvaney.

Backed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yuga Cohler with arrangements by Shelly Berg, the nearly three-hour concert brought an arena vibe to the traditional concert hall setting. Featuring a mix of X Japan classics, new material, and pitch perfect renditions from the book of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, Yoshiki brought the tunes to life at the piano, and additional turns from guest vocalists Katie Fitzgerald and Ashley Knight provided bright spots of witty banter (unlike other Japanese superstars poised for American fame, Yoshiki’s English is fluent).
The production team pushed the limits of imagination for Carnegie Hall, with lighting so intense that Yoshiki himself had to ask his crew mid-song to reposition of one of the rigs.

and is seeking undetermined damages for alleged physical and emotional harm she said she suffered in four assaults by Douglas last year.
Douglas, 42, of Bryn Mawr, Pa., played for the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars from 1995 to 2004 and is a former ESPN football analyst.

The city of Plattsburgh in upstate New York issued an 18-month moratorium on cryptocurrency mining.
Plattsburgh is part of a long-standing power agreement that gives the city an allotment of some of the cheapest electricity anywhere in the world, but a recent influx of cryptomining companies and their energy-draining rigs have raised power prices at the expense of the general population.
The ban is meant to be a temporary arrangement, but it could potentially end all cryptomining investment in the city. (Via Motherboard)

Obama’s Handling of Russian Election Interference Meets With Scrutiny
The narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to impact the 2016 presidential elections has unraveled. Now the focus is shifting to the Obama administration’s handling of the alleged Russian interference, and whether Clinton supporters helped spread false narratives that launched what President Donald Trump has called “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.”

In the past, the German government has vigorously refused to even acknowledge the massacre of 70,000 Herero and 10,000 Nama as a genocide, the German experience in South West Africa being a precursor to Nazi colonialism and genocide.

Anatolia.[16] Although not concerned primarily with the Armenians, Cahen makes passing reference to this ethno-religious community throughout his work. Indeed, his survey of pre-Ottoman Anatolia makes it clear that the Armenians were an integral part of the social, religious, and economic landscape and played a variety of roles under Turkish Islamic rule. Throughout Cahen’s discussion, from the initial Turkish incursions culminating in the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 to the Mongol invasions in the thirteenth century, he makes it clear that the social and political history of Armenians was deeply tied to the various developments occurring in the Near East, and that it is necessary to understand both Armenian history and these developments (the Turkish invasions, the Crusades, the Mongol conquests) as a totality.
More significantly, Cahen explains thatArmenians often lived in close proximity with their Muslim neighbors, an experience punctuated by both tolerance and persecution but which was primarily characterized by a diverse Armenian experience which is difficult to simplify or essentialize.[18] The major contribution of this category of scholars has been to contextualize Armenian history within that of the larger Near Eastern environment. However, with the exception of Cahen, most of the traditionalist historiography has been limited to brief description or ethnography, often over-simplifying the historical reality, and has failed to emphasize the diversity of the Armenian experience and the dynamic, and often multi-faceted relationship between the Armenians and their neighbors in the Near East.

With massive audiences flocking to the BBC's coverage, from the 27 million peak for the opening ceremony onwards – and the public catching results on their smartphone or online –it made absolute sense for the BBC to have sealed its exclusive rights contract for the Olympics up to 2020 just before the London Games opened.

teams to shorten shifts. But that didn't happen overnight. Many coaches believe the trailblazer was long-time University of Alberta coach Clare Drake, who influenced a generation of NHL coaches, including the Toronto Maple Leafs' Mike Babcock and former St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock.
Kingston, who eventually coached against Drake when he was with the University of Calgary, also ran track and played football for Drake as a high-school athlete. Some of the training principles Kingston learned on the way to becoming an ultra-marathoner were primarily gleaned from studying champion distance runners such as Paavo Nurmi and Emil Zatopek. Ultimately, Kingston, Drake and a few others transferred what is now known as interval training to their hockey programs.
"This was the 1950s," Kingston said. "Nurmi had been an influence onlate 1950s."

At 6’9″ and 220 lbs., the Massachusetts native is best described as a freak athlete. He uses his great length especially well rebounding the basketball on both ends of the floor, as he is arguably one of the best rebounders in the class, and altering shots with his shot-blocking. For a combo forward, he also has excellent ball-handling ability with an ever-improving jump shot. As his body continues to mature, with added strength to his 6’9″ frame he will be more efficient from the low post with his endless potential.
