City Council Approves Settlement
Home/In the News/City Council Approves Settlement
In a 5-3 vote, the Selma City Council voted to approve a settlement in a lawsuit over a monument to Confederate general and former Klu Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest, effectively ending the suit.
The settlement terms include giving a deed to the one-acre tract of land containing the monument in Old Live Oak Cemetery to Chapter 53 of the United Daughters of Confederacy. Other terms include allowing KTK Mining to replace the bronze bust of Forrest, but not allowing the original plans to construct a taller structure; installing cameras and lighting for security; making the circle handicap accessible; placing a cannon on a pedestal previously intended to raise the monument's height and paying a total of $100,000 to KTK Mining for a violation of the company's due process rights.
The city's liability insurance will pay $50,000 of the damages. The other $50,000 will be taken from a fund set up to receive a half-cent sales tax, passed earlier this year. The fund currently contains $74,686.
Before voting in favor of the settlement, council president Corey Bowie said it was time for the city to move forward and focus on more important issues plaguing Selma.
"We have to look at the bigger picture," Bowie said. "We are going to have to embrace both the civil war and the civil rights movement as part of our city's history. Once we can appreciate both ends then we can move past this."
Ward 1 councilman Cecil Williamson, Ward 2 councilwoman Susan Keith, Ward 3 councilman Greg Bjelke and Ward 6 councilman B.L. Tucker also voted in favor of a settlement. Ward 4 councilwoman Angela Benjamin, Ward 5 councilman Sam Randolph and Ward 8 councilman Michael Johnson voted against the settlement. Ward 7 councilwoman Bennie Ruth Crenshaw was absent.
Randolph said he felt the city was giving up too much in the settlement.
"We are giving them a deed to the land and $50,000 and I just think that is too much," he said.
With the settlement approved, city attorney Jimmy Nunn said the lawsuit is effectively over.
Had the settlement not been approved, Nunn said the city faced much larger consequences, including paying nearly $300,000 in attorney's fees.
The lawsuit began when the city suspended KTK mining's construction permit on Sept. 25, 2012 after questions were raised about who owned Confederate Circle.
The monument was originally unveiled in 2000 at the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum. It was moved to the cemetery after the monument was vandalized.
In March 2012, the monument's bronze bust was stolen, leading to the group Friends of Forrest developing plans for relocation. Protests began again around the monument months after construction began.
Shortly after the protests began city council members suspended the permit.

An Elite Dangerous pilot has been stuck in space for three months
By Fraser Brown 2019-02-18T17:46:24Z
Fuel Rats to the rescue, again.
Image via Deluvian on Twitter.
An Elite Dangerous pilot, Commander Deluvian Reyes Cruz, has been stranded in space for three months. Ambitiously hoping to set a record for the furthest distance travelled from Sol, he has instead found himself trapped in the lifeless abyss beyond the edge of the Milky Way, no doubt risking space madness. It took him over a month to reach that point, and he's been stuck there since November. This week, rescue is finally in sight.
It's being mounted by the Fuel Rats, which isn't too surprising. This player-created organisation has rescued countless players—including one attempt thwarted by a cat—supplying stranded pilots with life-saving fuel, and they're exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to exist out in space. When your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, you can get help, so why not out there, too?
The Fuel Rats must be a bit sick of daredevil explorers. Quite a few pilots have struck out into the unknowable reaches of space, setting records and getting stranded. Travelling beyond the galaxy seems like the easy bit; the hard part is getting back. And when players miscalculate their fuel consumption, it's the Fuel Rats that have to make journeys that take hundreds of hours—600 in this case—to save them.
Cruz had beaten some old records on previous attempts, and on his sixth, before disaster struck, he passed his personal best. Unfortunately, he got too eager, maybe a bit cocky, and found himself unable to frameshift after burning all his fuel.
The Fuel Rats rescue has been long and probably incredibly dull. Multiple commanders are involved to help refuel rescue ships, mine resources and then get Cruz's ship running again. It took three days just to create the plan and work out the logistics. With five commanders, 2576 tonnes of fuel and 632 limpet mines, they set off, though only two of them will reach Cruz.
You'll be able to see the actual rescue on Twitch, but right now the stream is just Commander HighwayWarrior hurtling through empty space. Beyond the galaxy, things get pretty boring. The rescue will take place on February 23 at 9pm UTC.
Stop flying off the edge of the galaxy, people!
Cheers, RPS.

Be True: Elizabethtown College Women's Volleyball Out to Ruffle Feathers
November 4, 2019 Cas Stence	Leave a comment
The team coming together after a good play.
Elizabethtown, Pa. – The Elizabethtown College Blue Jays women's volleyball team won their second Landmark Conference game at Thompson Gymnasium against the Catholic University Cardinals 3-0 on Wednesday, Oct. 16th.
This game was part of the True Blue series. The True Blue series encouraged students to support fellow student-athletes and get free Elizabethtown merchandise to cheer on their team.
Senior outside hitter, Elle Shatto, was the first to serve as the game began. She ended up scoring 3-0 before possession of the ball shifted over to Catholic. What followed in the first set was a sway of possession, back and forth to each team.
Catholic ended up serving an ace and tied the game at 17-17 and again at 19-19. Elizabethtown was able to pull ahead again at 23-19. Catholic attempted to close the gap, but Elizabethtown finished up the first set 25-23.
In the second set, the Cardinals were off to a rough start after losing possession on their first serve. The score yet again bounced back and forth before Shatto scored an ace and left Etown 12-6 and proceeded on their run 20-9.
However, Catholic soon came back and pushed the score to 22-18. Etown coach, Matt Hamilton, called a timeout. This allowed Etown to shut down the Cardinals and win the second set 25-20.
This season was Hamilton's first year as head coach. In previous years, he served as the assistant coach. Both Shatto and Rileigh Hudock, sophomore setter, said that this facilitated trust and communication.
"I'm extremely proud of this team," Hamilton said, "If we succeed or fail, we do it together."
The Blue Jays come out strong in the third set thanks to Elle Shatto's and Allison Fischer's kills. They take a lead with 14-5. At game point, 24-15, Catholic began to delay the point that would win Etown the game. Catholic was able to bring the score all the way to 24-21 until Shatto eventually scored the final kill that secured Elizabethtown their win.
Shatto was encouraged by the number of people who showed up for the True Blue game. "It was nice to have fans. The crowd gave the game more energy."
Hudock echoed this sentiment. "People usually focus on other sports. We got to see a big crowd, which usually isn't the case. It brought big morale to the team."
Whenever it comes to the team's victories both Shatto and Hudock believe that they can attribute that success to their coach and their teammates.
"The incoming freshmen are very strong. I want my class and the freshmen class to grow and become leaders for next year," Hudock said, "Our new coach is also very supportive of us. The players are very comfortable with him."
After this game, their record stood as 21-7. The team expressed that their aim was to make it to play-offs. According to Hamilton, Catholic was a significant conference rival.
"We accomplished everything [that game]," Hamilton said, "We showed up and played well."

We develop a generalized theory of religious markets and apply its insights to archaic Greece, ancient Israel, and modern America. Our starting point is a simple game-theoretic model in which secular leaders enhance their power by influencing the location of sacred places. The model includes standard equilibria – such as pure competition and state-sponsored monopoly – as well as a novel equilibrium, which we call the neutral nexus, wherein a sacred place gains widespread authority precisely because it lies beyond the centers of secular power. The nexus can promote cooperation, innovation, and exchange, especially where markets are weak and power is fragmented. It can also sustain random divination – a surprisingly effective way to manage conflict and risk. The sanctuary of Delphi illustrates the real-world relevance of the neutral nexus, as does Israel's tabernacle of Shiloh.
Contemporary models of religious markets have yet to advance much beyond Smith's (1981 ) classic contrast of established churches and independent sects. In fact, religious markets have been analyzed in a similar manner to markets for many goods and services – either as monopolies (where political sponsorship provides the effective barrier to entry) or highly competitive (eschewing oligopolistic models, which rarely exist in religious markets). There is good reason that studies of religious markets have taken this approach. Historically, monopoly and (close to) perfect competition have been the two most common types of markets, with the former pervading medieval Europe, the Islamic world, and Latin America, and the latter found in contemporary Europe and the U.S. Yet, is it possible that other types of market structures exists? Religious markets provide an excellent laboratory for the study of non-traditional markets, as political authorities have historically had a keen interest in regulating religious authorities. And indeed, this paper suggests that the literature on religious markets – and the broader literature on market structures in general – has "missed" an equilibrium. Using a simple game theoretic model, we analyze the situation in which numerous political authorities are legitimized by religious actors who are geographically disparate. Our model is able to capture the classic monopoly and perfect competition cases – the former may emerge when one ruler is powerful enough (and all leaders visit the religious site in his territory) and the latter can emerge when the cost of coercion of the citizenry is sufficiently large and the ruler does not attempt to co-opt religious authority. The model also sheds light on the conditions under which a third type of equilibrium, which we call the neutral nexus, emerges. This equilibrium involves spiritual "capitals" arising in places beyond all centers of secular power. We suggest that this is an equilibrium precisely because the spiritual location is not dominated by secular power. This type of equilibrium can emerge when a cluster of polities share a common culture and close ties and no one political authority dominates. The positive network externalities associated with an independent legitimizing force allow the neutral religious player to thrive despite the fact that it is not loyal to any one political authority. The sanctuary of Delphi in ancient Greece illustrates the neutral nexus. Delphi also helps us better understand the economic and political roles of religious institutions in pre-market societies. The vast network of shrines and sanctuaries in ancient Greece seem to have substituted for the invisible hand of modern markets – strengthening Greek identity, limiting political conflict, and promoting inter-state cooperation, communication, and exchange. More generally, it sheds light on a market structure different from the types studied in introductory economics classes – one that served the Greeks quite well for centuries.

Shasta County Sheriff's deputies on Saturday arrested a 21-year-old man suspected of robbing the Sentry Market in Shasta Lake last month, they said.
Dennis William Marrow was arrested after deputies positively identified him as the man who stole from the Sentry Market and hit an employee with a rock during the robbery, Sheriff's Sgt. Logan Stonehouse said.
The robbery happened Jan. 26 just before 7:45 p.m. During his escape, the robber fled toward Clair Engle Park just north of Shasta Dam Boulevard and threw the rock, hitting the store employee, before meeting two other men in the park. One of those men threw a rock at a witness, causing damage to the witness' car, Stonehouse said.
Marrow evaded capture during the robbery until Saturday, when deputies found him near the intersection of Washington Avenue and Main Street. During the investigation deputies identified Marrow as a person of interest and later as the robber, Stonehouse said.
When deputies found him, Marrow initially gave a false name, Stonehouse said.
They arrested Marrow, who was on post-release community supervision, and booked him into the Shasta County Jail on suspicion of robbery, giving false information to a peace officer and for violating his supervision, deputies said.

Every week I'll highlight three golfers who have a good chance to win the hardware for the upcoming weekend. This week it's the third major of the year, the British Open.
For a full breakdown of the tournament, check out my betting preview. For dark horse value, visit my sleeper picks article.
Fleetwood was one of my top picks to win the U.S. Open, and he nearly stole the tournament thanks to a 63 on the final day that left him as the runner-up behind Brooks Koepka. The event was a coming-out party of sorts for the Englishman, and even though his pre-tournament price has been cut in half since Shinnecock Hills, I'm still expecting big things out of him at Carnoustie.
Fleetwood sits seventh on the PGA Tour in scoring average (69.5), 12th in birdie average (4.12) and 27th in driving accuracy percentage (67.1 percent) while jumping to 10th in the world rankings. The affable Fleetwood has proven he has what it takes to contend in majors, so expect him to build off his strong U.S. Open performance and make a run in Scotland this week.
In case you haven't been paying attention, Molinari is playing some of the best golf on the PGA Tour right now. The Italian Stallion's past five worldwide starts include a T-2 at the John Deere Classic, a win at the Quicken Loans National (his first triumph on American soil), a T-25 at the U.S. Open, a second-place finish at the Italian Open and another victory at the BMW PGA Championship in England.
The 35-year-old has a 65.5 scoring average in his past eight rounds and is certainly not short in the confidence department. He's already showcased his ability to win in North America, but with the third major of the season taking place on his home continent, the +3300 price on him looks even more appealing in my eyes.
If you're wary about backing Casey at the British Open, I understand your concern. Despite finishing in 11th place at the tournament a year ago, Casey has struggled at the event, and at 40 he's on the back nine of his career without a major championship under his belt.
He's in excellent form right now, however, as he's placed 16th or better in four of his last five starts, including a runner-up showing at the Travelers Championship. Casey has also finished in the top 15 in 11 of his last 12 appearances after making the cut. It's been 26 years since an Englishman won the British Open, but that drought could come to an end this time around.

The Last Forgotten Muscle Car

I hate to disappoint you guys, but the "last forgotten muscle car" is a lot newer than you think. Manufactured from 2014 to 2017 approximately 10K made, or about 2500 per year, I give you the Chevrolet SS...
Most people have no idea what it even is, and those that notice the SS emblems invariably ask, "An SS what?" - Just an SS. Back in the muscle car hay day the SS was a Chevy trim line that could be added to various models. For the 2014 - 2017 car, it becomes a model name. Equipped with an LS3 engine, producing 415 HP and 415 Lb-Ft it came with a 6 spd automatic and later a 6 spd manual trans. Aside from the trans, the only options available were a sunroof and a full-size spare.
This is truly the last muscle car.
Adios,
Pizza Bob
PS: Yes I know that it is a re-badged Australian Holden Commodore, but Holden is no more also - so truly the last.
I will have to 1up you on this. I owned an ever more rare "SS" or rather its predecessor (until an idiot almost killed me stopped at a traffic light and the car got totaled but anyway) : the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP - 1738 of 1829 ever produced. I like the SS but the Pontiac bells and whistles on the Commodore is so much cooler looking. When you have the car in 2nd gear and hit the pedal to get to 60 mph, you could feel the Gs glue you to your seat. I miss that car....

NJRulz - I'm well aware of the Pontiac GXP. The car that I traded on the SS was a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. Before retirement I was a General Motors Pontiac Product Trainer. When I bought my G8 the GXP was not yet in the line-up. Besides the automatic trans was good when having to get to my dealers in urban areas. The G8 is definitely cooler looking. But the SS is a real sleeper.
I have a set of four 18"x8" / 5 on 120mm G8 wheels that I'd love to get rid of - if you know anybody that is interested, have them get in touch.
Rarer than your G8 GXP were the Solstice GXP Coupes - <800, would love to have one of them squirreled away in my garage.

My 'car regret' was back in the late 80's. I found a '70 Boss 302 Mustang for a good price. It was, at the time, my grail car.
I passed on it because it didn't have the original Boss 302 engine in it (although it was a genuine Boss 302 motor).
$4500. Grabber Yellow with the Boss 302 stripes, shaker hood, rear window louvers, and the front/rear spoilers. Interior was a little beat, but nothing that couldn't be redone.
I've kicked myself in the ass over that for years.

Ouch... I feel your pain. I remember looking at a hemi 'cuda back in 1980 or so during another one of the gas wars (or at least when gas prices went up for a while) and didn't buy it because I didn't think I could afford the gas if I used it as a daily driver. Plus, I was a poor schlub and would have struggled to put together the $5k it would have cost me. Ugh.
Another buddy who shall remain nameless was always a Mustang guy. His first car was a '69 428 he bought new at Morristown Ford, that he wrapped around a tree after 6 months. His second car was a '70 Shelby, evidenced by his name in the Shelby registry. When he got married in 1974 he (wait for it) traded it in on a new Mustang II because his wife couldn't drive a stick. He HATES when I remind him of that. At least he still has the wife...
It hit home again a few years ago I saw an identical Boss 302 on Mecham go for a ridiculous price.
I was REALLY pissed that day.

I always liked the Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 built in the late 60s early 70s. A monster at the time but today the performance is matched by many economy car "sport" versions.
20 years ago you could find one of these Mercedes for a reasonable price. Then they were approaching big buck rebuilds or owners who wanted to dump them before they reached that point. Now they cost a lot more.
An oft ignored "muscle car" was the Honda Odyssey mini van. A mini van. About 2011 they had a turbo version with over 1000 hp. If you pulled up next to one in your hot F body Mustang, you'd get smoked. Literally. I saw them smoke the front tires on the American Top Gear. Problem was they put all that money into horsepower and none into suspension. On Top Gear, Tanner Mays, who is a race car driver, almost put it into the wall on an oval track.
The best handling muscle cars of the 60s were the 442 and Gran Sport. I do have a place in my heart for the 64 GTO with Tri-power. In 65 they became a bit more civilized.
Another nice car from the 60s was the Olds "Turnpike Cruiser". It was a 442 with a 2 barrel carb. Reasonably fast, good handling and it gave you...20mpg.
To give folks further perspective on what @GRIZ is referring to in his post above, here are links to videos on those first two vehicles....

@45Doll, @67gtonut, @JohnnyB, @Pizza Bob, @NJRulz & @GRIZ and others:
FYI - Now here is a truly amazing, intriguing and very touching car story about what arguably IMHO, could and should be considered one of "the last forgotten muscle cars"….
It is the story of a car referred to as "The Black Ghost" – a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE with a 426 Hemi Engine, ordered new in triple black colors by Godfrey Qualls, a decorated U.S. Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, then Green Beret, who served in Vietnam, who later became a motorcycle cop, married, then a father, who street raced this car in Detroit in the 1970's and beat everyone he raced. (Also, there is an interesting sidebar story regarding the Shaker Hood….)
The car has survived and this YouTube video is the compelling story about the car, its owner and its ultimate fate…. Enjoy
Awesome story and the three generations too.
ironically, i was scanning youtube on my Roku Tv and watched that video a few hours before you posted it! Cool story for sure!
Here you go dudes... get out your checkbooks, hopefully you got something in there to spend. Here's the Motherload of muscle cars... get ready to bid!!!
....."According to AutoBlog, Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City has the "biggest collections of high-performance American cars in the world." Most of the 200 cars are GM built and will be auctioned off with no reserve.
Treworgy has decided to unload the classic cars in an upcoming auction later this month.
Mecum Auctions is expected to sell the vehicles on Jan. 22-23 at the museum.
Get out while you can appears to be Treworgy's move as central banks inflate the everything bubble. It remains to be seen if the collector will get top dollar for his cars, though there's a lot of people out there armed with stimulus checks that may take a stab at bidding.

GigOptix gives update and outlook for 2010
GigOptix Inc of Palo Alto, CA, USA, which designs modulator and laser drivers and transimpedance amplifier (TIA) ICs based on III-V materials as well as polymer electro-optic modulators, has provided an update on its strategic plan for 2010.
"2009 was another eventful year for GigOptix as we continued to emphasize and focus on executing both our organic and strategic growth initiatives," says chairman & CEO Dr Avi Katz. "Over the past several years it has been our strategy to identify and acquire businesses with synergistic qualities in markets vertical to our core business, with a strong product and customer base and advanced intellectual property, along with other valuable assets," he adds. These acquisitions include iTerra Communications LLC (a manufacturer of amplifiers and modulator driver ICs) in July 2007, Helix Semiconductors AG of Zurich, Switzerland (a manufacturer of transimpedance amplifiers, limiting amplifiers, and VCSEL drivers) in January 2008 and Lumera Corp of Bothell, WA, USA (a manufacturer of polymer electro-optic modulators) in December 2008
This strategy culminated last November with the firm's largest acquisition so far, ChipX Inc of Santa Clara, CA, a privately held fabless supplier of analog and mixed-signal custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) including standard cell, structured ASIC and hybrid ASIC technology.
"ChipX more than doubled 2009 revenue on a pro forma consolidated basis and brings an attractive set of valuable customer relationships, providing us the opportunity to cross-sell existing products," Katz says. GigOptix has begun restructuring and integrating ChipX to deliver cost reductions through physical consolidation of the firm's headquarters in the Bay Area, elimination of redundancies, cost reductions of service and tools, and sizing the organization appropriately. "Although only a few months removed from the closing of this acquisition, integration has gone well and we have already begun to see the financial benefits during the first quarter of 2010," Katz reports.
GigOptix comments that it has has recently made progress expanding its existing product and customer base, which the company reckons should deliver opportunities for revenue growth in 2010. Highlights include:
increasing traction with Government agencies, receiving an award of $4.5m sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop integrated driver and polymer modulator technology to support terabit networks (with most work expected to be performed in 2010);
continuing to maintain strong ties with the US Government, military and other governmental agencies (expecting to receive more contracts in the future);
launching a new family of TIAs for optical receivers (to complement the firm's optical drivers);
winning key contracts with several major customers to supply GX6120 electro-absorption modulated Laser drivers, GX6155 Mach–Zehnder modulator drivers, and the HX family of parallel drivers and receivers for use in active optical cables including optical HDMI (with particularly strong traction with customers in Asia); and
progress with sales of 100G polymer modulators for research applications and extending the temperature stability of EO polymer with the introduction of the M3 material (with the product having passed Telcordia-level testing and now being used in the latest 40G and 100G modulators to be released this year).
"In conjunction with our integration of ChipX, our acquisition strategy, and continued organic growth plans, we have materially enhanced our management team," continues Katz. New chief financial officer Ron Shelton (appointed in December) and VP of optical communications sales Jay de la Barre both bring strong financial and industry experience that will play critical roles in GigOptix's growth, he adds.
GigOptix says that it will report its fiscal 2009 results in March.

knock it off
President Trump's former director of communications, Anthony Scaramucci, is downright begging him to knock it off with the racist attacks on minority congresswomen.
Scaramucci, who served in the White House for just 10 days in 2017, spoke to CNN's New Day on Thursday morning after previously denouncing Trump's tweets telling four minority congresswomen to "go back" to where they came from as "racist and unacceptable." At a rally on Wednesday, Trump supporters chanted "send her back" about one of the women he attacked, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
During the interview, Scaramucci implored elected Republicans to "pick up the phone and say, 'Hey, you should really knock this off'" to Trump, per Mediaite. He also predicted that if the president "continues on that path" with this apparent new strategy that is "against the idealistic values of America," a "glacier of support is going to break off and float away from him in a way that he doesn't fully understand." Asked if he will personally still support Trump in this scenario, Scaramucci responded, "No."
Recent polling has suggested Trump actually increased his support among Republicans in the immediate aftermath of his weekend tweets, with one poll showing that 57 percent of Republicans agreed with him.
At the same time, Scaramucci suggested he'll have to weigh who Trump's opponent is when making the decision to abandon him over what he considers to be blatant racism, telling CNN, "You also have to compare it to what you're going up against." At some point, though, Scaramucci said this will become a "moral question." Brendan Morrow

Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton on Wednesday encouraged Americans to reach out to friends and family members who don't necessarily agree with their political beliefs, saying this is an important step in getting the country to heal.
During a taped message that aired during the "Celebrating America" inaugural special, Bush said he thinks "the fact that the three of us are standing here talking about a peaceful transfer of power speaks to the institutional integrity of our country."
Obama agreed, saying that Americans have to "not just listen to folks we agree with, but listen to folks we don't. One of my fondest memories of my inauguration was the grace and generosity that President Bush showed me and Laura Bush showed Michelle. It was a reminder that we can have fierce disagreements and yet recognize each other's common humanity, and as Americans we have more in common than what separates us."
Bush implored viewers to "love their neighbor like they'd like to be loved themselves," as that would cause "a lot of division in our society" to end. With President Biden now in office, it's "a new beginning," Clinton said, adding that the first step to unity is everyone getting off their "high horse" and reaching out to friends and neighbors.
The three former presidents also delivered messages to Biden, with Bush saying he is "pulling for your success. Your success is our country's success." Clinton said he is "glad" Biden is in the White House, and "we're ready to march with you." Obama told his former vice president he is "proud" and wants him to know that the trio is "rooting" for him and "will be available in any ways that we can as citizens to help you guide our country forward. We wish you Godspeed." Catherine Garcia

One of former President Donald Trump's last acts in office was issuing a directive extending free Secret Service protection to his four adult children and two of their spouses for the next six months, three people with knowledge of the matter told The Washington Post.
It's not just his adult children benefiting — Trump also directed that former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien continue to receive Secret Service protection for six months, two people familiar with the matter told the Post. This 24-hour security, funded by taxpayer money, is expected to cost millions.
Under federal law, only Trump, former first lady Melania Trump, and their 14-year-old son, Barron, are entitled to Secret Service protection now that they have left the White House; while Donald and Melania can receive protection for the rest of their lives, Barron is only entitled to it up until his 16th birthday.
The Post notes that presidents have the ability to order Secret Service protection for anyone they want, but it is extremely unusual for an outgoing president to order this type of security for their children who are well into adulthood. It is also unclear if there is precedent for ordering security for former aides. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush requested security extensions for their daughters, who were in college when their presidencies ended. Once former President Barack Obama was out of office, his daughters — one in high school, the other on a gap year from college — received a short extension of security.
During Trump's presidency, his adult children took more than 4,500 trips, including vacations and business travel for the Trump Organization, the Post reports. Taxpayers paid millions of dollars for Secret Service agents to accompany them on those jaunts. Catherine Garcia
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' inauguration celebrations ended with a bang.

President Biden addressed the nation during the "Celebrating America" inaugural special Wednesday night, saying that to "overcome the challenges in front of us," the country must find "the most elusive of all things in a democracy: Unity."
Speaking from the Lincoln Memorial, Biden said the United States has learned that "democracy is precious, and because of you, democracy has prevailed." Americans are "good people," Biden said, and he called on the country to unite in favor of "opportunity, liberty, dignity, and respect" and against "common foes" like "hate, violence, disease, and hopelessness."
The only way the U.S can "get through the darkness around us" is by coming together, Biden said. There are moments, like the Civil War, when "more is asked of us Americans," he added. "We are in one of those moments now. The pandemic, economic crisis, racial injustice, the climate crisis, and threats to our very democracy. The question is: Are we up for it?"
Biden said he has no doubt that people will unite, adding, "You the American people are the reason why I've never been more optimistic about America than I am this very day. There isn't anything we can't do if we do it together." Catherine Garcia

The Senate on Wednesday evening voted 84-10 to confirm Avril Haines as director of national intelligence.
Haines is the first woman to serve as head of the intelligence community, and is also the first member of President Biden's Cabinet to receive Senate confirmation. She served as deputy national security adviser and deputy CIA director in the Obama administration.
During her confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Haines said "when it comes to intelligence, there is simply no place for politics, ever." After Biden announced in November that he wanted Haines to serve as director of national intelligence, Haines declared she would "speak truth to power" and knew Biden valued "the perspective of the intelligence community." Catherine Garcia
The Biden administration held its first press briefing on Wednesday evening, with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki promising that every weekday, there will be a news conference.
"There are a number of ways to combat misinformation," Psaki said. "One of them is accurate information and truth and data and sharing information, even when it is hard to hear." She added that her daily briefings will include COVID-19 updates from health officials.
Psaki said President Biden's first call with a foreign leader will be on Friday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and she expects "they will certainly discuss the important relationship with Canada as well as the decision on the Keystone pipeline that was announced today." Shortly after taking office on Wednesday, Biden signed an executive order halting construction on the pipeline, meant to transport crude oil from Canada to the Midwest.
Biden is expected to spend the next several days calling "partners and allies" of the United States, Psaki said, because "he feels that's important to rebuild those relationships and address the challenges and threats we're facing in the world."
Psaki was also asked about the letter former President Donald Trump left for Biden, which he earlier described as being "very generous." Biden said because it was "private," he will "not talk about it until I talk to him." Psaki reiterated that the letter was "generous and gracious," but she does not believe a call from Biden to Trump is imminent. Catherine Garcia

Several world leaders on Wednesday sent their congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, with some also getting in a final jab at former President Donald Trump.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Biden represented "victory of democracy over the ultra-right. Five years ago, we thought Trump was a bad joke, but five years later we realized he jeopardized nothing less than the world's most powerful democracy."
His comments were echoed by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who said he was "greatly relieved" by Biden's win. Referring to the pro-Trump mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Steinmeier added: "Despite all the joy we feel today, we must not forget that even the most powerful democracy in the world has been seduced by populism. We must work resolutely to counter polarization, protect and strengthen the public square in our democracies, and shape our policies on the basis of reason and facts."
French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted that he was thrilled Biden brought the U.S. back into the Paris Agreement on climate change, stating that by working together, "we will be stronger to face the challenges of our time. Stronger to build our future. Stronger to protect our planet." Catherine Garcia

The Archeparchy of Kottayam was erected exclusively for the Southist (Knanaya) Catholics in 1911. The Knanaya Community traces its origin from a group of Jewish-Christian emigrants from Southern Mesopotamia to the South Indian port of Cranganore in AD 345, who formed themselves into an endogamous community. They co-existed peacefully in the Indian nation and fulfilled their missionary purpose of re-invigorating the Church of St Thomas Christians. The original community consisted of about 400 persons belonging to 72 families of seven sects headed by Thomas of Kynai. A bishop by name Uraha Mar Yousef, four priests and several deacons were among them.
On August 29, 1911 the Vicariate Apostolic of Kottayam was erected exclusively for the Knanaya Community by the Apostolic letter "In Universi Christiani" of His Holiness Pope St Pius X.
On December 21, 1923 the Vicariate Apostolic of Kottayam was raised to an Eparchy by Pope Pius XI. When the territorial limits of the Syro-Malabar Church was extended in 1955, the jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Kottayam also was made co-extensive with the then extended territory of the Syro-Malabar Church.
On May 9, 2005 the Major Archbishop Mar Varkey Cardinal Vithayathil issued the decree "The Eparchy of Kottayam" elevating the Eparchy of Kottayam to the rank of a metropolitan see.
Archbishop of Kottayam is the manager of the Kottayam corporate agency.Rev.Fr.Thomas(Stany) Edathiparambil is the secretary to the corporate manager (By power of attorney). It aims at not only the secular education and intellectual enhancement but also for the integral growth of children in morality and Christian values.

After training for the first Missoula Marathon (2007) on my own, out of a book ("The Non-Runner's Marathon Book" - I was barely a runner at the time), I found out about RWM. I joined and trained with the group for 2008 and discovered what a joy it is to train, run and commiserate with other runners. Missoula is a wonderful and unique community and RWM is a great reflection of that. I have been a member since and will always be, even though I live abroad. RWM helps me feel connected with the wonderful place and people in Missoula.

[Blind Gossip] This actress and her man were certainly putting on a show of affection during the televised portion of The Oscars! He was caressing her on the red carpet, had his hand in her lap during the telecast, and had his arm around her at the post-parties.
So sweet. And so fake.
This is only who she pretends to be when the cameras are watching. Because in the non-televised moments before The Oscars… she was with her girlfriend! That's who she took to the pre-parties. That's who she was affectionately stroking underneath the table. She thinks that she would lose her fan base and industry support if she admitted that she was gay. And she really wants to win an Oscar more than she wants you to know the truth!

Everyone talks about how excited they are for being pregnant, how in love they are with their unborn baby, unfortunately this was not my experience.
When I had my daughter, I suffered from postpartum depression, this period in my life was incredibly difficult. After seeking help, I can finally say that I'm in a much better place and all thanks to a therapy group.
I want to share my experience to all new moms so that they don't suffer as much as I did or to be that voice that says "You are not alone".
You will find me write about my life before I had my child, how my culture has impacted my decisions and maybe some humor/fun content. I will NOT suggest how you should take care of your child, I find it that everywhere you may go there is always someone who would like to give you unsolicited advice on how to raise your child.
This is a place of serenity and I'm just expressing the true feelings of a new mom.

In spite of rising prices, the Dutch king announces billions in aid
In his annual address to the country on Tuesday, Dutch King Willem-Alexander outlined ideas from the Dutch government to assist households being pushed by rising costs.
The royal family was being booed by the public as they rode in a horse-drawn carriage from their palace in The Hague to the National Theater. They had just returned from the official funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London.
In his yearly speech, delivered on the third Tuesday in September each year, the monarch listed a number of the "uncertainties" the nation is now dealing with, including inflation, energy costs, and the conflict in Ukraine. The budget for the coming year is unveiled shortly after the address.
Speaking to a joint session of both chambers of parliament, the king stated that "people are feeling more uncertain about both the near- and long-term future." He promised to provide low- and middle-income households with an aid package worth 18 billion euros ($17.9 billion).
Based on average use starting in January 2022, the bill establishes a price cap for gas and electricity. The cap is expected to save households an average of 190 euros ($189) each month, according to the government.
The king alluded to the proposal in his address, but the budget noticeably omitted the energy price cap that politicians and energy firms agreed upon on Monday. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte was opposed to the concept of a cap as recently as last week, saying any assistance would have to wait until the new year.
The march, which was held for the first time since 2019 after two years of pandemic restrictions, drew almost 10,000 spectators. The Hague's elementary schools were closed so that kids may take part in the celebrations.
Emma, 3, told The Associated Press as she waited behind barricades along the route, "I just want to watch the horses."
Princess Amelia accompanied her parents for the first time. She turned 18 this year and is now anticipated to take on several royal responsibilities. Not everyone enjoyed the day. Rutte must leave, said the signs held by the protesters. One man spoke of his difficulties with skyrocketing gas prices and store pricing while carrying an upside-down Dutch flag, a representation of anti-government rallies.
According to the police, they detained five persons and seized six tractors. Over the past year, farmers have been protesting by driving their tractors into The Hague in protest of environmental rules that limit their ability to conduct business. The city made the announcement that, as a security measure, no heavy cars would be permitted on the streets last week. When presenting the formal budget to reporters, Finance Minister Sigrid Kaag said, "It is not a festive time for many Dutch citizens," echoing the king's sombre sentiment. A rise in the minimum wage, a decrease in income tax rates, and an expansion of child and health care subsidies are all part of the package.
In the new budget, Ukraine would get 3.9 billion euros in military and humanitarian help. The Dutch dispatched 90 soldiers to Ukraine's military last month to help with basic training. Additionally, the government has set aside $1 billion to construct accommodation for refugees. Due to a lack of beds, hundreds of asylum seekers have been sleeping in unsanitary conditions outside of an asylum reception centre.
As part of the annual "hoedjesparade," a custom in which ladies dress in distinctive headwear for the occasion, bold hats could be spotted throughout the city.

By Internationalist Standpoint
After a 6-month campaign, Footscray Park in Melbourne's inner-west has been saved from private development! The local community forced Maribyrnong council to back down from a plan to hand over the western lawn of the park to the Melbourne Victory football club.
This was essentially a plan to privatise a huge part of the park. Much-needed open space would have been practically given to Melbourne Victory so that they could build an elite soccer academy.
Most residents agree with the need for more sports facilities in the area but said that this should not be at the expense of local parks. We refused to let the council and Melbourne Victory make this into a fight between sports fans and supporters of open space.
The $40 million club talked up claims that the academy would have benefited women's and junior teams in the west, but this was exposed as a cynical lie. The academy would have been off limits to local teams most of the time, and the public would have also had very little access to the facilities.
Melbourne Victory could have easily purchased private land in the area to build their academy, but they instead hoped to get public land, almost for free, on a peppercorn lease. This was in addition to receiving a $10 million grant for the academy from the state government.
This Maribyrnong council – dominated by Labor and the Greens – was at odds with the community from the start. They quietly supported this project and were engaged in secret talks with Melbourne Victory for years. They set up a dodgy consultation process to try and push their plans through.
There was widespread opposition to the council's plans, with nearly 6,000 people signing an online petition. As the collusion between the council and Melbourne Victory became clearer, more and more people got involved with the Save Footscray Park campaign.
Members of Socialist Action who live in the area helped to build the campaign. At the beginning we pushed for regular organising meetings so that we could democratically discuss how to take the campaign forward.
From these meetings, outreach efforts were organised which helped build up momentum and pressure on the council. Regular street stalls were set up, while posters and leaflets helped get our message out to thousands of people. Hundreds were mobilised at a series of protests against the council.
Socialist Action members also introduced the idea of a 'pledge', where people could register their intention to participate in direct action to stop the development if the council refused to back down.
We realised that the campaign had already won the political argument and that we had widespread, but latent, support. The pledge was designed to turn that passive support into activity. By November, more than 500 people had signed the pledge. Undoubtedly this made it clear that the community would stop at nothing to protect our park.
The active and democratically organised campaign was the key tool in this struggle, but the threat of escalation via direct action was its sharp edge.
Direct action has successfully stopped many inappropriate developments in the past. A recent example was the community campaign against the East-West toll road. Socialist Action members played a leading role in this campaign and we brought many of the lessons to the fight to save Footscray Park.
This victory should give people the confidence to stop similar inappropriate developments and privatisation plans. When we are organised and fight back, we can win!
Socialist Action is proud to have contributed both our resources and ideas to this campaign. Along with many others, we have helped to protect an important public asset. But while this victory should be celebrated, we should note that in many ways it's only temporary.
Big businesses and corporatized sports clubs are constantly looking to get their hands on valuable land for development. They, along with the parties they bankroll, care about nothing except profits.
As long as the profit-driven system remains we are going to have fight these people whenever they put the community's interests at risk. The only way to put an end to this struggle is to put an end to the capitalist system that underpins it.
The alternative to capitalism is democratic socialism, a system that is based on the people's needs rather than profits for a few.
