Rachel Mitchell: Woman representing GOP at Kavanaugh hearing has history of prosecuting sex crimes
The prosecutor selected to serve as outside counsel for the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's hearing has handled sex assault cases for decades.
Rachel Mitchell has been a prosecutor for more than 25 years in Arizona involved in crimes similar to the sexual assault allegation levied by Christine Blasey Ford against Kavanaugh, who has denied the claim.
Mitchell currently serves as the Deputy County Attorney in the Maricopa County Attorney's Office in Phoenix and is also is the division chief of the Special Victims Division, which handles cases of domestic violence, sex crimes, and auto theft. She has taken a leave of absence to come to Washington.
For over a decade, Mitchell, who was admitted to the Arizona state bar in 1992, ran the sex crimes bureau of that division, directing the prosecution of crimes including adult sexual assault.
On Thursday, however, she'll be handling a case unlike any she's ever prosecuted.
She'll be in the pivotal role of representing the 11 Republican -- and male -- members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who selected Mitchell in part to avoid the appearance of an all-male GOP bloc scrutinizing Ford's allegations. She'll be tasked with questioning both Ford and Kavanaugh -- Republicans are expected to yield their time to her, though each senator on the committee will have five minutes to ask one round of questions or yield their five minutes to counsel.
It'll easily be the highest-profile case of Mitchell's long and distinguished career handling sex crimes, an area she said she didn't initially intend to focus on early in her career but one she felt drawn to after clerking at a law firm and watching a senior lawyer prosecute a youth choir director.
"It struck me how innocent and vulnerable the victims of these cases really were. When I became an attorney with the office, I prosecuted other kinds of cases, but I was drawn back to this area," Mitchell said in a 2011 interview with FrontLine magazine, a religious publication .
In the early 2000s, when the Catholic Church was first rocked by sex abuse scandals, Mitchell led the Maricopa County Attorney's Office sex crime unit as it prosecuted Rev. Paul LeBrun, the first priest in the Phoenix area who went to trial for child abuse. LeBrun was found guilty in 2005 of sexually abusing young boys and sentenced to 111 years in prison, according to the Arizona Republic .
At the time, Mitchell called the sentencing for LeBrun "vindication for these victims and they need that."
"It also tells people who have been victimized by people in authority that someone is listening and will do something about it," she said, Reuters reported at the time.
Arizona criminal defense attorney Tracey Westerhausen, who is also a close friend of Mitchell's, told CNN that Mitchell's reputation in the courtroom is that she's "extremely prepared" and "extremely methodical."
"She does not engage in courtroom histrionics. You'll never have a gotcha moment where there's a big surprise. She will build her case very carefully and in layers," Westerhausen told CNN's John Berman on "New Day" Thursday morning.
Her work has earned her numerous awards in her state, including in 2003 when she was recognized as the "Outstanding Arizona Sexual Assault Prosecutor of the Year" by her state's governor and attorney general.
The Maricopa County Attorney's Office said Mitchell has been "instrumental" in developing protocols for investigating child abuse and sexual assault cases "enhancing the ability for victims to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect while holding offenders accountable." Mitchell also travels the country lecturing and training others on sexual assault cases.
"The American people can be confident that Rachel Mitchell's experience as a conscientious prosecutor, trained to seek justice, protect victims, and pursue truth will assist the Senate Judiciary Committee in performing its important task," Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said.
Mitchell is a registered Republican and has donated to the campaign of Arizona's GOP Attorney General Mark Brnovich, according to The Washington Post.
But Westerhausen, a Democrat, said Mitchell's political affiliation would have no influence on Thursday's hearing.
"Political parties, anything like that, makes no difference to Rachel," Westerhausen told CNN's "New Day."
Maricopa County is the same county of Joe Arpaio , the former controversial sheriff who, the Justice Department alleged in 2011, failed to prosecute hundreds of sex crimes during his time in office. Her former supervisor Cindi Nannetti told The Washington Post that it fell to Mitchell and other prosecutors in the Maricopa County Attorney's Office to find out why so many sex crimes were left unresolved or inadequately investigated by Arpaio's office.
Nannetti told the newspaper Mitchell determined which cases could still be prosecuted and later conducted training for the sheriff's office to avoid it happening again.

Petr Cech expected to return for Chelsea ahead of schedule
Goalkeeper should be fit to face Blackburn in nine days' time
Henrique Hilário to start against Internazionale

Petr Cech is confident of returning to the Chelsea first team ahead of schedule for their Premier League game against Blackburn Rovers in nine days' time, his rehabilitation from a calf injury progressing encouragingly, although Henrique Hilário will be in goal against Internazionale for the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie next week.
The Czech tore a calf muscle having leapt unchallenged to claim a cross after an hour of the first leg at San Siro and departed in discomfort on a stretcher with his side trailing 2-1.
A scan confirmed the injury and Chelsea were expected to be without their first-choice goalkeeper for a month, potentially ruling him out of four Premier League matches as well as FA Cup and Champions League ties. That diagnosis may now be revised, with a return for the televised game against Blackburn on 21 March more realistic after the 27-year-old made steady progress in recovery.
His absence was keenly felt when Manchester City exploited Hilário's rustiness to win 4-2 at Stamford Bridge last month, the title challengers' first home defeat in 38 matches, but Chelsea will have to rely on their recently capped Portuguese goalkeeper as they seek to progress beyond Inter and into the Champions League quarter-finals.
The 34-year-old Hilário, a perennial understudy to Cech since moving to west London from Madeira's Nacional in 2006, made his international debut as a second-half substitute in a 2-0 friendly victory over China this month, though his opportunities to impress at club level have been limited.
He kept a somewhat unconvincing clean sheet in the FA Cup at home to Stoke City last Sunday and will play against West Ham United on Saturday before facing José Mourinho's Inter side.
Yuri Zhirkov, troubled by his own calf problems in recent weeks, returned to training with the first-team squad at Cobham today and may now be available for the visit of West Ham.

I'm Mac Prichard, founder and publisher of Mac's List. On today's bonus episode, we're sharing exclusive content from Land Your Dream Job Anywhere, our new book that was published February 1, 2017. For 15 years at Mac's List, we've helped people find meaningful, well-paying work in Portland, Oregon, one of the country's most competitive job markets.
Here is Nathan Perez, career and job search coach, reading his contribution "The 20-Minute Networking Meeting." Take it away, Nathan.
Often, when busy professionals receive a request for a networking meeting, time is the deciding factor as to whether or not they accept it. If you want to improve your chances of meeting an important contact, make it clear that you only want twenty minutes of his or her time.
How do you keep your meeting to twenty minutes? By having a very focused agenda and highly specific questions. Vague, broad questions lead to protracted conversations— conversations that demand too much of your contact's time and probably don't really help in your job search.
When I meet with job seekers, many of them ask questions such as: "Do you think I should find another job?" That's a very vague prompt, which requires a whole slew of clarifying questions: What exactly do you mean? Should you go find one now? Should you go find one later? A job in your same line of work, or in a whole different industry? Do you enjoy what you're doing now? These are the kind of big decisions you need to get clear about on your own before you reach out for informational interviews.
Avoid misusing the valuable time you get in informational interviews. Give your networking contact important context about your background and where you are right at this moment. Then you ask a short set of questions that are targeted and strategic. This requires you to know about your contact's background and to have some specific idea of how he or she might be able to help you. Remember, you're tapping into this person's expertise and knowledge. Always reflect on how you can best leverage this information to further inform your own job search.
Once you've prepared, the best thing you can do is listen and be actively engaged in the conversation. Staying present is really key, and that includes being aware of how much time has passed. You don't want your networking contact being distracted while checking the time.
Preparation and focus allow you to have a really powerful and informative conversation within a very short period of time. Master the art of the twenty minute networking meeting and you'll quickly build a network that advances your job search.

Last Call with Nick Austin, commercial actor
Veer Mudambi
Local actor Nick Austin is the epitome of Build Back Better, having battled a debilitating depression that threatened to end his career but came out on the other side. The Southbridge native went from a promising career in Florida to struggling to pay the bills, before reigniting his passion for acting and finding hope even in the chaos that was 2020.
Walk me through your journey with depression and how it began.
I had a good year in 2017-2018, working as an actor and living in Florida. When I came home for a project in Connecticut, I stayed with my mom in Massachusetts. That's when I met this girl and even though I went back to Florida to continue my path, I ended up staying there for just a month. I packed up and came home in October of 2018, leaving everything I had built in Florida. I was hustling, motivated, doing the best I could, then after an unsuccessful romantic entanglement, everything just collapsed. I had nowhere to go, no direction. I had no plan — I lied to people, saying I was working but I wasn't really. Basically it was a real downward spiral.
Did you pursue any acting gigs here?
I didn't do any auditions — I totally quit acting, which I loved. No casting, no submissions, no reading. I was just so scattered that I took a real estate license course, searching for something to fill the void and keep my mind busy but I used to just sit in the class not even knowing what was going on. I was just so wrapped up in why on earth I had left my career in Florida and how here I was, sitting in a class learning about something I didn't even want to do. I failed the federal test seven times and the state nine times before I passed and wasted so much money. At that point, there was so much rejection and failure that the space in my head was bad. Once I passed, I didn't even care. I had thought it would boost my confidence and morale but it just got worse.
By that point, I started to run out of money because I had spent a great deal trying to get a start in the real estate venture. So I started working with a friend at a property management company. It was a tough job, we were working in a pretty run-down apartment and I remember, I was cleaning a bathtub thinking — this is my life now. I left my dream in Florida and now here I am in this apartment. I had lost all inspiration and motivation for everything. I was just so far gone and couldn't get back up so I just walked away from that job. And that turned into staying home every day, barely able to get out of bed. It was grey. No emotion for anything and just started to fall into really bad times. In the summer of 2019, all my friends are working, doing their thing, and I was home alone with no goals, no aspirations, just spending money.
When was the turning point?
The first turning point was admitting to my friends that I was in very bad shape — I was sitting in a parking lot, crying on the phone to one of my best friends and basically confessed that I was completely broke. I had spent everything I earned, acting-wise and investment-wise, I had spent every single dime.
I was not even functional and had to set little goals — like getting up and brushing my teeth was a small accomplishment, and cleaning my room or car. Then I began to regain some kind of composure and confidence about the basic stuff in life. While I was pulling myself together, what really gave me some momentum was driving cross-country with my dad to pick up my brother in California. He's a pilot in the Marine Corps and was returning from deployment ... It was really impactful to me I was in California for a couple weeks and came back to Massachusetts and got a job with UPS. Getting a little money and a work routine helped me get back on the rails a little.
How did you get back into acting?
I ended up getting in touch with a producer from New York, who was someone my family knew. He was doing a feature film in Dubai. I met with him on Super Bowl Sunday in February 2020. I had started to get a bit of my old hustle back and drove to New York, even though everybody was home watching the game. He gave me a role in his film and flew me out to Dubai about two weeks later. At that point, though I was able to manage daily functions, I was still climbing out of a deep hole — so everybody around me was not in favor of me pushing myself like that but everything worked out smoothly, and I was in Dubai for about three weeks. At the time, I remember standing outside the Dubai mall, probably about a million people and realizing how it was the first big gig I had since I basically quit everything.
Coming back to Massachusetts after that, I got a little bit of a daily rhythm back, still doing the little victories each day to keep going. My cousin and her husband own a farm/brewery nearby and I was just like, yeah, I need this. It was the best thing that happened to me mentally — working on the farm doing all kinds of stuff. It helps you focus on what's in front of you and not stay in your head as much. From there, I was able to continue acting, book some gigs and get back on that track.
How was it trying to pull yourself up during the pandemic of all times?
It was kind of like a clean slate. We were all in the same boat with everything kind of shut down, so I decided I had to pave another path. I booked some small projects for some commercial companies. It revitalized me in the sense that it felt like a fresh start — the slow process of everything opening back up sort of mirrored my own journey of slowly climbing back up.
The industry changed very fast during the pandemic — it turned into a lot of self takes, where you submit audition tapes from home. I built a home studio and worked from home — it became pretty fun to send stuff from my house, the deadlines were a bit later and I could send more tapes out. There are still more self takes being accepted and I think it helps many actors and models.
During the pandemic, I did stuff for Viacom, CVS, Weber Grills — it was huge doing that, looking back. Now that I think about it, doing all that during that time made a difference for me and I'm just super grateful for those opportunities ... Fast forward to right now, December 2021, I think I'm in the best position of my life.
What would your advice be to young people — those dealing with depression?
Everybody handles it differently but there's some great help out there. At the end of the day, no matter what, you're in your own mind, it's just you, no matter what. I personally think that if you set little goals every single day — have multiple ones each day — it can give you momentum that you need to keep going. Also, you can't bottle it up — talk to people. If it wasn't for my friends and family, I wouldn't be here, to be honest.

LibLink: Sarah Olney: Theresa May's visit to Turkey betrays our liberal values
By NewsHound | Sat 28th January 2017 - 11:00 am
Fresh from her meeting in Washington with a man who has extolled the effectiveness of torture, admitted sexually assaulting women and who thinks building walls between nations is a good idea, our Prime Minister heads today to meet the leader of a so-called democracy where human rights mean nothing and journalists are imprisoned.
Sarah Olney has written a blistering article in the Guardian, attacking the PM for betraying our liberal values instead of safeguarding our trading relationship with the democracies on our doorstep.
This tawdry tour shames Britain. This is a defining period on the international stage and we must consider to what extent this new course is safeguarding both our interests and values around the world.
In an age of "alternative facts", there is no doubt about the realities of the Erdoğan regime. Even before last July's failed coup, Erdoğan had begun systematically dismantling Turkey's democratic institutions. Since the coup, he has embraced full-frontal authoritarianism. He is not only locking up journalists, but teachers, professors and policemen – all without due process. Not quite the outfit you'd have in mind for a regime described yesterday as an "indispensable partner" by Theresa May.
>Indeed, turn the clock back eight months and our now foreign secretary was slating the Turkish president. Yet Boris Johnson has fallen unusually silent – refusing to call Erdoğan out on his shocking crimes. There is a pattern here: ministers pursuing business deals on the international stage at odds with Britain's best traditions and values.
The Tories are ignoring breaches of international humanitarian law in Yemen for an arms and trade deal with Saudi Arabia. May is cosying up to an American president who not so long ago she was criticising for his anti-Muslim diatribes. Far from defending liberal values, the Conservatives are happy to sell them to the highest bidder, or indeed any bidder.
Her analysis of the government is spot on.
This is not a strong, confident government, it is a shifty, grubby regime, tin-eared to the views of our friends and brainwashed by the Ukip world view. Is this really what people imagined of life outside the EU? Whether you were leave or remain, it should be deeply troubling to see ministers pursue a strategy both damaging to our economic interests and undermining of our best and most cherished values.
That is why Liberal Democrats will not simply fall behind the government in pursuing a hard Brexit. Unlike Labour, we will vote against article 50 if the people are not given a say on the final deal. Nor will we turn our backs on our friends in Europe at the expense of strongmen with weak principles around the world.
She concludes with a call for all those who believe in liberal, progressive values to rally to protect them.
You can read her whole article here.

Why politicians can't solve climate change
Sarah Olney's message for Chinese New Year
AngrySteve 28th Jan '17 - 11:24am
Quite. May's visit to Turkey has made me ashamed to be British. Does the woman hold any values at all? I'm pleased that at least someone has taken the time to decry May's abhorrent diplomatic visit to a fascist regime that she clearly sees as some kind of ally.
Geoff Crocker 28th Jan '17 - 11:50am
Theresa May is the ultimate pragmatist.
We will see what the British people think of her politicking in the inevitable huge protest demonstrations which will accompany Trump's state visit.
expats 28th Jan '17 - 12:15pm
Post 'Brexit' who can we trade with? China? whose human rights are, if anything, worse than Turkey's…India? where misogyny is, if anything, getting worse…The world is full of regimes/leaders who we would not invite to dinner but whose trade we need…Every time you fill up your car you are 'supporting' trade with an undemocratic regime….
Nations of whom we approve (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) are just not enough…
Lord Palmerston's, "Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests"
David Evershed 28th Jan '17 - 12:17pm
Sarah Olney seems to think we should not talk with governments and people we disagree with. And that if you do talk with them you are cosying up to them.
How illiberal and immature is Sarah Olney's approach?
AngrySteve 28th Jan '17 - 12:22pm
It appears to be quite incredibly mature, actually. However, your approach…
Caron Lindsay 28th Jan '17 - 12:25pm
Am I understanding this right here? A member of the party criticising another member of the party for standing up for human rights an liberal values? It's a funny old world…
Geoff Crocker 28th Jan '17 - 12:26pm
You don't have to hold hands with them, or claim some specious 'special relationship', or rush around the world's dubious regimes in pointless haste, in order to trade with them.
It's all desperate Brexit stuff, and won't be effective anyway, as not only any trade deals with their detailed tariffs and regulations, but also their implementation in real trading patterns, needing new distribution channels etc, will take years to emerge.
Caron, why not stand up to China, India, etc. by not visiting them?
Anyway, isn't Erdoğan 'on our side' in Syria? The UK, and especially LibDem, policy seeks to get rid of Assad; that, too, is Erdoğan's stated aim…
Churchill was more than pragmatic in allying the UK with Stalin (whom he despised)…
Fiona 28th Jan '17 - 1:00pm
@expats, I know things are grim, but we aren't at war yet.
I don't think there is any suggestion that the UK should ignore all regimes where they don't match up to 100% of our values, but it is more than reasonable to draw attention to the recent increase in serious problems in Turkey lately. It is appropriate for us to ask questions of our Prime Minister in advance of her visit, which if she is serious about having a quiet word (as some allege), gives her a stronger hand.
I see in the comments section that there's a predictable amount of whataboutery, relating to Trump or Saudi Arabia, but Turkey has flown under the radar some-what lately. Yes, many aspects of countries like China are much worse, but Turkey is supposed to be a democracy, and so should be much more receptive to either our approval or disapproval.
The UK should not ignore all of these breaches of human rights, and the LibDems most definitely cannot afford to do so if it wishes to maintain any credibility. This does not require a blanket ban on all trade or negotiations with those countries, but the inability to do that does not mean that doing nothing is the only 'non-hypocritical' option.
We do what we can, where we can, and shining a spotlight on the serious problems in Turkey is a good thing. The fact the article is in The Guardian's "Comment is Free" section means it will probably only be read by people who already agree, or who have clicked on the link just to complain, is another matter. However, I am pleased to see the article has had a lot of comments, because the purpose of those articles is to get people talking, and increases the odds of Sarah being invited back to write another piece.
If you don't believe Sarah, try reading the Turkey page from the Amnesty website.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/search/?country=38514
The situation in Turkey isn't irrevocable, but the longer it goes on, the longer it is allowed to go on, the harder it will be to get the country back on an even keel, and the more people will be harmed.
This doesn't need to exclude a trade deal, but any trade deal should be negotiated with a view to applying pressure to improve their situation.
nigel hunter 28th Jan '17 - 1:02pm
As Churchill did .We sometimes have to make pacts with the devil or devils. However this is the position that the referendum has put us in. Whilst May and the rest are running around chasing their tales for trade deals because of the huge economic hole leaving the EU , we must stay strong in our liberal beliefs.
Tynan 28th Jan '17 - 1:14pm
Turkey is a member of NATO and therefore is in fact an ally of Britain and a large number of other members of the E.U. I'm not following the outrage here all governments talk to various unpleasant regimes. The leaders of France and Italy have not always been role models of respect to women
Lorenzo Cherin 28th Jan '17 - 1:26pm
Sarah Olney is an excellent new mp. She is correct on the detail here.
We must be sensible and moral in foreign or domestic policy. Too little of the former gives no substance to the latter.
Trump is someone we must talk to but to hold hands with him literally is absolutely absurd. That much is not May's fault , he must have led it.
There lies the problem. It is Trump that is leading , some following , others ostracising.
We were never poodles of any US president. But we were sometimes its rather large and trusted family dog!
We must not be that to any country or leader, whether with our closest allies amongst democracies. Or with our dubious non democratic or pseudo democratic fellow embers of the wider international community.
Embers, should read ,members, a Freudian slip ?!
Nick Cunningham 28th Jan '17 - 1:34pm
Would May be flying around the world to the likes of Erdogan's and Trump if the she wasn't so desperate for any headlines that could be spun to make Brexit look like a success in waiting, very doubtful indeed. Erdogan human rights record is just appalling, his amendments to Turkey's constitution is about what one thing only, personal power and the removing of any inkling of opposition, this from a Country who calls it's self democratic. Yes, the world is full of unsavoury and unappealing leaders and nations like China, whose human rights record is up there with the worst. But do we really have to be so willing to give credence to such nations and give them the credibility they so seek.
malc 28th Jan '17 - 2:52pm
According to the German media Mrs Merkel's team have been meeting with Trump's people for nearly two years. Since he became President they have let it be known that she would fly out at short notice to meet him, but so far there hasn't been an answer from Trump. Turkey is a very important NATO member who have various trade and other agreements with the EU. Why is there little – if any – criticism of Merkel or the EU, but the British PM is constantly being attacked by the Lib Dems. I don't like Trump or Erdogan, but when the UK and the EU are both doing the same thing at least be even handed.
Sue Sutherland 28th Jan '17 - 3:06pm
Obviously if you voted Leave you will take a different approach from Sarah Olney and view May's visit to Turkey as entirely appropriate in seeking new trade deals. However, the Foreign Secretary was trying to scare people during the Referendum campaign by telling them that Turkey was joining the EU and we'd be inundated with migrants from that country. That is why May going cap in hand to Turkey must be highlighted.
I also appreciate Sarah talking about the values of a Britain I want to belong to, which values tolerance and kindness. We have to put the emotional case for our support of the EU and I'm glad Sarah has the political and personal maturity to do this.

Post 'Brexit' who can we trade with?
Within the last 12 months there was a BBC debate program on Sunday morning where one of the topics of the day was to what degree can we criticise China's human rights violations when they are currently the 2nd/3rd biggest economy in the world and soon will be the biggest by a large margin. I wonder how many soon will be missing the comparatively clean record of the EU when the "cost" was largely freedom of movement?
Isn't it a strange moment when Turkey joining the EU was such an argument to vote leave and now Brexit means we're getting a lot closer to Turkey than we would have otherwise been.
It's not a choice between morals or trade but following the example of Merkel and Sturgeon and making it clear that the UK is keen to build relations but won't compromise on human rights and expects those we speak to to follow the same path.
"It's not a choice between morals or trade but following the example of Merkel"
Merkel is currently talking to China about a possible trade deal, she has asked President Trump if she can visit him, but has had no reply – according to the German media – and the EU already has a trade deal with Turkey. What is Mrs May doing that is so different from Mrs Merkel? Do America, China and Turkey have a better human rights record when they talk to Mrs Merkel than when they talk to Mrs May?
Peter Watson 28th Jan '17 - 7:10pm
I'm a bit confused by the Lib Dem position here, particularly Sarah Olney's linking of this to Brexit.
Even as members of the EU, the UK already trades with Turkey and in October 2012 Nick Clegg led a trade mission to Turkey to increase this (and he described Turkey's membership of the EU as a "strategic necessity"). British people holiday in Turkey every year. Do Lib Dems oppose all this? Is there a list of countries that Lib Dems believe we should boycott for trade and tourism because of their poor human rights record?
I'm all for opportunistic attacks on the Tory government, but I can't quite see Sarah Olney's point here.
Peter, if you read the page on the Amnesty website I linked to earlier, it should help to explain the problems with Turkey. In particular, many of its problems are recent, and things have gone steeply downhill since Clegg visited in 2012.
Turkey is strategically important for Europe from a security point of view, so it is important that it's close neighbours and the EU maintain good ties. Turkey will hopefully get its act together, and obviously countries geographically close to it won't want to stop trading with it in the meantime. The UK only needs to chase deals with Turkey because we're annoying all of those other trading partners that are currently more convenient.
I'd say it's up to individuals if they want to go on holiday to a place with a dubious record on human rights, and that locks up its journalists, but it would put me off. I can't believe that's controversial.
But as it happens, May was going there to announce a deal to sell fighter jets to Turkey!
David Raw 28th Jan '17 - 7:47pm
Sarah may be morally right – but she walked straight into a bear trap with Iain Dale about a Nick Clegg similar visit a few years ago.
I don't blame Sarah for this – she's still learning the job – but it's clearly bad briefing and staff work by what is supposed to be an experienced HQ staff who failed to pick up the bear trap. It's also a reminder of the Coalition legacy that still haunts us.
AngrySteve 28th Jan '17 - 8:37pm
@David Raw,
I can't believe I'm defending Clegg here, but, his visit to Turkey was in 2012 (I presume that's what you're referring to). May's visit is today, in the midst of a brutal crackdown on civil liberties with thousands imprisoned without trial and removed from their jobs. There is a vast difference in the scale of what we know to be Erdogan's behaviour back in 2012 and what he has done over the last year.
John Samuel 28th Jan '17 - 9:28pm
Having turned our back on 27 democracies we need to find some barrel bottoms to scrape.
expats 28th Jan '17 - 9:30pm
Fiona 28th Jan '17 – 1:00pm…@expats, I know things are grim, but we aren't at war yet….
The why are we dropping bombs in Syria? We must be at war with someone…Turkey is, as has been said,a fellow member of NATO and, considering May's meeting with Trump, his stance on NATO affects Turkey more than most…
Some posters seem to believe that May will greet Erdoğan like a long lost brother; I doubt that but Sarah Olney's 'outrage' seems rather misplaced when on refugees, Assad, ISIS and NATO we have much common ground…May's visit ( BTW I'm no fan of May) and her. "Now it is important that Turkey sustains that democracy by maintaining the rule of law and upholding its international human rights obligations" is a far more mature approach than Sarah's…
Just listened to the Sarah Olnay interview with Ian Dale that David Raw refers to:
http://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/iain-dale/iain-lib-dem-mp-in-fiery-exchange-over-turkey/
She had a very difficult time.
@Fiona "as it happens, May was going there to announce a deal to sell fighter jets to Turkey!"
A deal which has been struck while we are still members of the EU!
It is the linking of all this to Brexit which I think weakens Sarah Olney's argument. It makes it sound like she thinks it is okay to trade with illiberal regimes if we are inside the EU but not if we are outside it.
There is an argument that being part of the EU gives us more power to influence the behaviour of our trading partners and persuade them to become more liberal, but sadly Turkey would be a poor example to support this if "things have gone steeply downhill since Clegg visited in 2012".
Angry Steve "I can't believe I'm defending Clegg here, but, his visit to Turkey was in 2012 (I presume that's what you're referring to)."
I know that. You miss the point. Sarah Olney was thrown because she hadn't been briefed and had no answer prepared for the obvious. Listen to the interview on LBC.
Erdogan had also been Prime Minister for several years in 2012 and although things have got worse since then, he was no shining light of liberalism even in those days.
@David Raw "You miss the point. Sarah Olney was thrown because she hadn't been briefed and had no answer prepared for the obvious."
Indeed. It only takes a moment to Google "Lib Dem Turkey" and find a reference to Nick Clegg 😉

RE: Unusual voice from nares.
>>I have 1 female green iguana that I have kept for 11 years who is a female . Last night I have observed something unusual from her nares. I heard some strange voice came out from her nares while breathing . But I have also observed some "wet salt" on the wall of the cage . As I know iguanas will egest excrescent salt from their body by their nares . I just don't know if the voice I heard from her nares is normal or it's a sign of respiratory infection ?
>>The voice sounds like a human snore and not really loudly . I also opened her mouth to check if anything wrong inside , but nothing wrong inside her mouth even no mucus found.
>>In fact , she is really fine in these 2 days whatever eating , activity and everything .
>>She never had any record of R.I in the past years I kept her .
>>What do you think about the voice came from nares ? Is that normal or a sign of R.I ?
Have you had your air conditioning on more lately? I have noticed in the past that the changed in temps related to AC and fall when the heat comes in an almost weezing/snorting noise that occurs when this starts up.
Keep an eye for nasal dripage, loss in appetite, etc... It the noise persists, you might want a vet check. The snalting is fine, but watch for a more mucuosy secretion.

#518 Supreme Court Disappoints/OK pass Medicaid Expansion July 3, 2020
The U.S. Supreme Court Disappoints Again
Last Monday, the Court's decision on abortion protections was to eschew them in favor of precedent – even if a decision was wrongly decided, we're stuck with it for the sake of stability. The Court also turned away an appeal on lethal injection protocols for federal executions.
We've compiled thoughts from many places in our latest blog post, June 29: Double Day of Death Dealing at the Supreme Court. See also a beautiful picture in this New York Times article, and the Quotation below.
PBS – Not Quite Neutral
The PBS NewsHour ran What Supreme Court decision on Louisiana law means for U.S. abortion rights. The good news: They did offer this helpful statement from Angie Thomas, associate director of Louisiana Right to Life (pictured): "This is all about just protecting women, keeping them safe from substandard care, and substandard care that we know to be true through the violations over the last two decades and more."
Yet the idea that calling it "abortion rights" means they're taking sides doesn't seem to occur to them. They also refer to the law as "restrictive" rather than "protective" (a more neutral term would be regulation).
For a standard of proper journalistic neutrality, they probably need many people to explain to them gently that talk of "abortion rights," which side had the "victory," and "restrictions" are all in fact taking sides in the debate. Feedback can be sent to viewermail@newshour.org.
Oklahoma Passes Medicaid Expansion!
Our Peace and Life Referendums website listed Oklahoma's referendum as one that alleviates poverty, reduces abortion, and discourages euthanasia. The election was last Tuesday, June 30, and it passed narrowly (50.5%). Much of the commentary suggested that people were more attuned to the medical needs of low-income people because of Covid-19.
Editor's note: CLN is a non-partisan group, but we have two member groups with partisan proclivities. We cover the activities of both.
Online Petition: End Abortion Extremism in the Democratic Party Member group Democrats for Life of America (DFLA) is circulating an online petition to Joe Biden. The petition expresses concern about the pro-abortion stance of the Democratic Party, which excludes pro-life Democrats and harms the party politically. DFLA Executive Director Kristen Day calls for changes to the party platform, including recognition of the diversity of opinion on abortion within the party. Those interested can sign the petition and read an open letter from Kristen to the Democratic Platform Committee.
American Solidarity Party Member group the American Solidarity Party hosted their annual convention this past weekend. Because of Covid-19 concerns, the event was moved online.
The convention kicked off on Friday night. Highlights included talks by Charlie Camosy, author of Resisting a Throwaway Culture, and author and blogger Leah Libresco Sargeant.
CLN Board member Christy Yao reports: "I was honored to have been elected as a delegate from the Northeast region. We continued to meet for the rest of the weekend, finally deciding on five new members for the National Committee, as well as a Statement of Principles."
One of the highlights of the convention was Yao interviewing CLN board member Lois Kerschen and Professor Jacqueline Abernathy for the Whole Life Women's Panel.
Katrina Jackson, Louisiana State Senator Abortion: I Wrote Louisiana's Pro-Life Law. USA Today, June 30, 2020 My desire to author the legislation came from listening to the stories of women hurt by abortion as I sat on the Louisiana Health and Welfare Committee and placing myself in their shoes. As I listened, I learned that the women of Louisiana were suffering because of the negligence of medical professionals and deplorable conditions at our state's abortion facilities.

Climate, General Earth Institute
Cold Spell Gripped Europe 3,000 Years before 'Little Ice Age,' Says Study
by Kim Martineau|August 3, 2012
Irene Schimmelpfennig sampled moraines on Switzerland's Tsidjiore Nouve Glacier in 2010 to measure its movement over the last 10,000 years.
Human civilization arose during the relatively balmy climate of the last 10,000 years. Even so, evidence is accumulating that at least two cold spells gripped the northern hemisphere during this time, and that the cooling may have coincided with drought in the tropics. Emerging research on climate during this Holocene period suggests that temperature swings were more common than previously thought, and that climate changes happened on a broad, hemispheric scale.
In a new study in Geology, Irene Schimmelpfennig, a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and her colleagues find that one glacier in the Western Alps was bigger than today during at least two periods in the last 10,000 years—during the well-documented Little Ice Age between 1300 AD and 1850 AD, and at an earlier time, from 3,800 to 3,200 years ago.
Between 2006 and 2010, Schimmelpfennig and colleagues traveled to Switzerland's Tsidjiore Nouve Glacier to collect rocks dragged downhill by past advancing glaciers. As temperatures warmed and the ice retreated, the ridges of rock or sediment, or moraines, left behind were bombarded by cosmic rays. By analyzing the chemical make-up of these rocks, scientists can estimate when the glacier retreated. At Tsidjiore Nouve Glacier, Schimmelpfennig found signs of the earlier cold snap from 3,800 to 3,200 years ago. This cold period also shows up in climate records collected elsewhere in the European Alps. From seafloor sediments retrieved off Venezuela, scientists can see that the two cold spells in the north coincided with a drying in the tropics as the rain belt that circles earth's equator pushed south. "The glacier's behavior is not a regional response to regional changes in precipitation, said Schimmelpfennig, a member of Lamont's Cosmogenic Dating Group. "There must be a driver on the hemispheric scale." Schimmelpfennig will continue collecting rocks in the Alps to document Holocene climate shifts at the mid-latitudes.

This is a very interesting study by Irene Schimmelpfennig. I don´t know if we should be worried about this research, if something like this study could happen, just imagine what could happen in 30 years. Seems like mother Earth is really changing!

The non-alcoholic beverage industry is facing challenges. The volumes are falling, primarily in developed markets. Beverage Digest indicates a 3% fall in 2013 overall carbonated soft drinks (or CDS) volumes in the US, making it the ninth straight year that demand has declined.
One major reason is the shift in consumer preference towards healthier products. Carbonated soft drink makers have faced severe criticism from health officials, governments and communities alike for the ill-effects of high sugar content, artificial sweeteners, and other harmful ingredients in their products.
Consumers are also more conscious of the health risks associated with soft drinks such as obesity and nutritional deficiencies, especially in youth. As a result they are opting for other beverages that are non – carbonated and have fewer calories.
My name is Amoloja Dolapo, female, age 33. I am the Managing Director of Roselle4life Foods, from Lagos, Nigeria. I hold a Bsc in International Relations from Lead City University.
This project is about production and preservation of Roselle drink, traditionally called Sobo Drink. It is a plant extract of Roselle calyces, mostly grown Africa.
Roselle Drink (Sobo Drink) is a popular drink in Africa, but the use of crude processing technology and poor packaging method by its producers is putting a limitation on its market potential.
I and my team have worked extensively on the production and preservation of the drink and have developed and perfected a processing technology for it to be available in a neat and well-packed form that complies with food regulatory standard.
Our major competitors are Coca Cola Company and 7Up bottling company. These two have dominated the non-alcoholic beverage industry in Nigeria and beyond for many years.
Roselle Drink is a Natural Drink i.e. a plant extract of Roselle calyces.
The drink is available in a clean, standard and well packaged form. Unlike other Sobo drinks, our drink has being trademarked to differentiate it from other Roselle drinks. The trademark name is Veggie Sobo Drink. The production process also has being prototyped and standardized.
Our drink has a longer expiring date (6 months) unlike other local Roselle Drinks that last only one to two days before fermentation takes place.
The company's target market/ customers are health conscious individuals, whether male and female, young or old who value natural drinks.
There is a growing demand for natural, healthy drinks in Africa.
Clean, standard and well packaged Roselle Drinks are not common. Most of these drinks are locally produced and under poor conditions. There is therefore a need to produce a Roselle Drink approved by food regulatory board and competing effectively with other beverage drinks in the market.
I have 5 years' experience in Roselle Drink production and I have undergone a certified training on it. My company has also begun production but much needs to be done in the area of machinery acquisition and marketing.
The occurrence of diseases of civilization like diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, etc. can be drastically reduced if more natural, non-toxic foods and drinks are being produced.
This post is published as proposal #354 of "YAP" – our "Youth Agripreneur Project".
Fantastic idea..i look forward to it in the open market.
Lovely idea. This will save lives. Thumbs up to you Dolapo Amoloja. May the Natural and healthy Roselle Drink that your company produce go around the world. God bless you.
Am really excited for you guys and this is just the beginning. Zobo is a quality home made drink with all natural herbs, and I believe it's the next big thing.
Good concept and I hope the government will help develop this project furthermore.
Great idea. With the recent drive for made in Nigeria products, this is a good initiative. This is a healthy drink and would be a perfect substitute for the sugar filled and highly sugar concentrated foreign made drinks in our Nigerian market. I hope the government takes this project seriously and supports this initiative.
As matter of fact, I have been dreaming about something like this having the availabilty this raw material in my area, its really a perfect project u have embark on. may the Almihgy God make it easy for you. U can as well count 120% if U need its supply.

US Open: Rory McIlroy on fire for Pebble Beach as he wins Canadian Open by seven strokes
By Mark Fleming
10 Jun 2019, 9:23
Updated: 10 Jun 2019, 9:49
RORY McIlroy is on fire ahead of this week's US Open – after shooting an incredible 61 to win the Canadian Open by seven strokes.
The world No4 was on course for a record-equalling 59, but two bogeys in the final three holes wrecked his chances.

It was McIlroy's 16th PGA Tour victory and 25th win worldwide, and his fourth by at least seven shots.
He joins Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Tiger Woods on an elite list of players to have won a Canadian, British and US Open.
The four-time Major winner now flies to Pebble Beach as the most in-form player on the planet.
McIlroy, 30, said: "I'll probably enjoy tonight and have a couple of drinks on the plane on the way to Pebble, but once I get up in the morning in California I'm not going to going to think about this week.
"I'm just going to know my game's in good shape and try to win another major.
"To start the day tied for the lead, and to play like that, it gives me a lot of confidence.
"I wanted to be aggressive from the start, I was, four-under through five holes and that really established I was in control of this tournament.
PRIMED FOR PEBBLE
"When I birdied 13 my goal went from winning the golf tournament to shooting something in the 50s.
"I played with so much freedom over the weekend. More freedom than I've had for a while, which is exciting because I've been able to win this tournament, but also exciting for what's coming up and what's ahead.
"It was one of those days where I got it going - 59 was definitely in my sights.
"Those two bogeys in the last couple of holes were unfortunate but at least I gave myself a chance at it.
"Most importantly, to win the Canadian Open and to get a win going into next week is obviously huge."
Starting the day in a three-way tie for the lead, McIlroy ended any suspense about who would emerge as the champion with five birdies in his first seven holes.

Despite the looming weather that seemed to drop rain in every part of the city except the Carvers parking lot, we had a great crowd at the fall parking lot cook-out and patio party. The Fries Band performed great as usual and everyone had a wonderful time enjoying the music, dancing, socializing, eating and drinking. Here are a few photos from the event.
The only thing better than the weather was the food, the music, the drinks, the friends and the fun at the Carvers spring parking lot cook-out. Here are a few photos of the crowd that kicked off summer with a great time of fun and fellowship. If you missed it, do not miss the fall parking lot cook-out coming in August.

How can I grow up if I don't leave home?
Leaving home does not guarantee a successful transition to independence nor does staying at home imply failure to grow up. Growing up means more than having one's own money, job, apartment etc. For one thing, life is mastered by facing problems squarely.
I thought my Dad was too hard Take for example; Andy now 49 years old, had a father who saddled him with after school chores. During summer vacation, while other youths played, Andy had to work. He thought his Dad was the meanest man alive for not letting him to play and enjoy himself. At times, he will creamed and say 'if only I could get out of here and have my own apartment.
Now Andy has a different perspective on the matter. He said, "What Dad did for me was priceless. He thought me how to do hard work and endure hardship. Since then I have had far more serious problems to face, but now i know how to face them head on with confident"
Youths often view money as easy to come by and even easier to spend. If they have a part time job, they often spend their cash on multi-media devices and fashion clothes. What a rude awakening such youths are in for when they leave home on their own? You have to learn how to manage money while you are still growing up at home.
Growing up while at home In this article I will explain to you how you can grow up without having to leave home. Nothing is gained by running away from situations that are not to our liking.
Your parents have had several years of experience doing this and you can ask them questions as: How much does it cost each month for electricity bills? Heat? Water? Telephone? What kind of axes do we pay? What rent do we pay? So if you have a job, offer to make a reasonable contribution to the upkeep of the house so as to grow up without having to leave home.
You don't need to leave home before you can grow up. However, while at home, you must work hard to develop good judgment and levelheadedness. Learn how to get along with others. Prove that you can control your emotion, criticism, failure, or disappointment. Show kindness, goodness, mildness and above all self-control.
These are the true qualities of a man or woman. Eventually, circumstances such as marriage may well propel you out of the nest of your parents' home. But until then, don't be in a hurry to leave home.
Why can't my parents understand me?

Non-game Apps that you recommend!
Discussion in 'iOS Apps' started by organerito, Feb 22, 2009.
I just picked up "Infinite SMS: Send/Receive Free SMS Texts", but didn't have a chance to use it yet.
Beatmaker is a great music making program.
Star Walk is a really nice astronomy app.
I LOVE Non Game Apps, here are some of my favorites.
BeeJive IM: Pricey but the best IM client IMO. It's worth it.
Sportacular: Gotta check my scores, and the Favorite Teams feature is great. Plus it's free.
Air Sharing: Got it when it was free, and it's worth it even now.
iHeartRadio: If only I could find wifi in locations other than my house (I'm on an iPod Touch) this app would be so handy.
Facebook's the only one I really use. It's ridiculously limited, though.
All 3 have progressive improvements over time from developers who are responsive.
Nnot sure why this isn't being listed in the usual way.....sorry.
Distant Shore can be a fun diversion (see the long thread in this very forum). Like some others have mentioned, LastFM is useful for discovering new music. Now Playing is very handy for local cinema listings/times. I like Klick for uploading photos to Flickr quickly. OldBooth is a silly but fun photo app for making your portrait into old-style images (but it needs to work better to be an essential purchase I'd suggest). Wikipanion is good for looking up Wiki entries on the fly. WootOn! is great if you're a Woot! addict and just HAVE to see the daily Woots. I also like Facebook and Yelp, and recently discovered InstantFAIL which simply allows you to stamp the word FAIL on any of your photos. Totally puerile but fantastic!
I really like Text Guru. I picked it up for $.99 a long time back.
You can use it to create, view, and edit (a few formats) text documents. It has local copy/paste and you can download documents from the web.
iBeer - Not really a game, but my friends all seem to find it funny.
Would you Rather? - Great party app for friends and family.
Stanza - Free books, or can get paid books, great if you like to read.
Distant Shore - Not really a game, but a wandering chat app.
Truveo - Allows you to watch Google, Metacafe, and other videos.
TouchTXT - Free texting app using your AIM account. US only.
Picture Safe - Keeps pictures safe / private.
Video Vault - Keeps videos safe / private.
Wikipanion - Free wikipedia search app, designed for iPhone smallness.
How Cast - Tons of how to videos, for your own usage.
Appsniper - Tells when new apps are out, or when they are on sale.
Infinite SMS - A $0.99 program that sends unlimited text to those in US.
Easy Writer - Landscape keyboard for emails, type messages, has premade messages, etc, and sends them to your email to compose.
Backgrounds - Tons of free backgrounds for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Brushes - If you are creative, like to draw, or etc this allows you to draw on your iPhone with great details.
These are all the ones that I use.
