Is The Dead Husband The 'HTGAWM' Killer? It Seems Pretty Obvious, But Shondaland Wouldn't Do That To Us
By Leah Marilla Thomas
"I bet you the boyfriend did it." That was the line at the end of the How To Get Away With Murder murder scene, er, pilot that raised a thousand eyebrows. It was the penultimate scene — a charged moment between Annalise Keating and her husband. Every line seemed to have multiple meanings. But the pervading thought is that Sam Keating murdered Lila Stangard and that's why he ends up dead in the woods surrounded by his wife's students. When Viola Davis' character says "the boyfriend," she is referring to the student having had an affair with her husband. But could it really be that simple?
Could Annalise Keating really have all of the answers already? As as fan of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, I don't think so. I would hope a Shonda Rhimes-produced show would have more twists and turns and "OMG moments" in store for us.
But before I really get into why we haven't yet figured out whodunnit, it's important to remember that Rhimes and her business partner Betsy Beers are only executive producing this series. The creator and showrunner is actually Grey's and Scandal writer Peter Nowalk, so it might not fit typical Shonda patterns. Still, he comes from the school of Shondaland and you can't graduate from there by laying everything out in the open. I think there is more to both the murder and the relationships here. Besides, it's more fun to speculate. Don't give up so soon! Here's what we know (and why we haven't solved the mystery just yet):
The "boyfriend"
Spooky — Viola Davis practically breaks the fourth wall. OK. Just the word "boyfriend" can mean so many things because Annalise Keating has an embarrassment of boyfriends! Yes, I agree, that could have been a pointed jab at her husband that called him out on (allegedly) sleeping with Lila. Sure. It could also have referred to Annalise's extramarital boyfriend Detective Nate. The pilot made a point of showing us that Nate was not the most honorable officer of the law. What else is he capable of?
There is also, of course, Lila's frat guy boyfriend Griffin. He's been spotted on the scene with Wes' neighbor Rebecca (played by Katie Findley from The Killing and The Carrie Diaries) and the two of them are mighty suspicious. I'm willing to believe that they hid the body and/or called the maintenance man who ultimately found it, but not that either of them killed this girl just yet. It's a little too easy, even easier than suspecting Sam.
I'm more willing to believe that the previous tenant of Wes' apartment was involved. The camera panned too eerily over those scratches above the bed to make me believe they were purely caused by sexy times. I almost expected to spot a bloody fingernail stuck in the wall à la Silence of the Lambs. Perhaps there is a "boyfriend" who has yet to be revealed. Did you see what I did there? I introduced a new suspect. This show is educational!
"Those poor parents"
This line of Sam's actually stood out to me more in the scene than the "boyfriend" line upon further reflection. We know, from Annalise's possibly exaggerated plea to Wes, that she and Sam are trying to have children and that it's been difficult for them. So on the surface, when Sam tells his wife that he feels for the dead girl's parents, it seems as though he's making a jab at his wife about not having children of their own. Jeepers creepers, I would not want to be involved in a Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf party with these two. According to the reporter (and thanks to Closed Captions), Lila's parents owned "Stangard Industries," a tech company worth billions. So Lila was super rich. That screams conspiracy and dark secrets and shades of Veronica Mars. Something is up.
We know Lila Stangard was in at least one of Sam's psych classes. Here's what I think: I think Sam Keating is Lila's father. One would hope he would be more upset about her disappearance and death if that were the case. Though maybe not if he's also a murderer. To be honest, after three seasons of Scandal, I'll believe anyone is a murderer. Perhaps Lila wanted to out her biological father. Another possible parental suspect is the associate Bonnie. If Bonnie and Sam are involved, or used to be, and Lila could be their love child. Crazier things have happened on Shonda Rhimes productions.
Shondaland History
Let's go back in our minds to the first season finale of Grey's Anatomy when Kate Walsh appeared in the final minute and introduced herself as Derek's wife. How fantastic was that? Did anyone see it coming? I don't think so. Trust in Shonda Rhimes and her disciples. How to Get Away With Murder is going to keep us guessing. This is a murder mystery with a flair for misdirection. The Shondaland logo isn't a roller coaster for nothing. As Sam Keating responded to his wife's potential accusation, "I guess we'll see."

As we know from studying Agenda 21 the only way they listen is economically.
Where is the 10 year study showing no harmful results on a test group?
Why are they implementing without one?
California just did a study on theirs and got disastrous results.
If the purpose of smart meters is to reduce electric costs why is FLP asking for a rate increase?
Why are the meters being manufactured in China? How do they know what is in the meter?
Why are Americans not getting these jobs?
China provided us with Chinese dry wall oops, poison pet food, oops, faulty strollers for our children, oops, counterfeit parts for our weapon system oops.What guarantee are they giving that there is not something in a Chinese meter?
When does doing something over and over expecting different results kick in?
> Coming up in three weeks, FPL is going to 'allow' us to present our arguments against the coming "Smart Meters" to their guard dog, the Florida Public Service Commission, an unelected body of "important" people.
> ........unless we can hit the one small spot that exposes their jugular.
> FPL (Florida Plunder and Loot) is a government sanctioned monopoly (or do I repeat myself?)... which means the Florida Government itself is supporting them .... also, all their investors,including the folks IN the Government, as of NOW, have a guaranteed NET profit return on their investment of 11 1/2 percent (better than gold ...) These are many, powerful, connected, influential people. And we are what?... voters? Wow.
> So with our hearts on our sleeves, and all the best intentions in the world, we make the trek to Tallahassee to speak in front of them to plead our case.... but we will be coming from a powerless position.
> We will complain that the Meters will be spying on us. They will yawn. What ISN'T lately? Thank You. NEXT.
> Then there are folks like me, who concentrate on the detrimental Health effects. They tell me that FPL itself has LOTS and LOTS of studies of their own (yeah, great) to 'prove' otherwise..... I am then put on the defensive, with the burden of "proving" the contrary, as if I were a Public Health Official, which of course I am not, no matter how many pages of International EMF Studies, World Health Organization, Sage Report, Government of Sweden EMF studies, etc. I quote. I will never rise to 'expert witness' status, and they know it.
> You see... my point of view is that this a game of chess, and my contention is that we, as a substantial body, are still playing by 'their' rules by holding to these (very legitimate but) powerless arguments.
> Are any of them prepared to take on the role of Public Health or Public Safety officials? Do any of them have expertise in epidemiological studies, or are familiar with the commonly recognized public Precautionary Principle? NO.
> So, are they in a position to declare these Meters "safe"? Is the Florida Legislature, indirectly, able to stand behind their "safety"? No.
> So, according to the PSC Mandate, they have nothing other than FPL's word that the Meters are, in fact, "safe".
> 3) (see where I'm going here?..) When cornered, Ms. Maggie Bisbal, an FPL Customer Advocate, ( contact her at 1-800-397-6544 ext 14) admitted that THERE IS NO ONE IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, up to the Governor, who is legally liable for any adverse health effects.
> 'They' are not prepared for this angle. 'They' are not at all prepared for an offensive questioning their legitimacy. 'They' are well prepared to counter every one of our arguments EXCEPT when we declare that we are no longer SERFS begging for fairness from the Great Lords. We DEMAND safety, and accountability. Up to the State level.
> In numbers, I believe this approach will work, because it's the only angle I see that scares them.
> In a competitive Free Market, customers have a choice.
> If a Government sanctioned monopoly gives 'customers' no choice, and harms them...... what?.... tough luck?
Attached please find the Consumer Comments sheet and a sample letter to the Florida PSC. Please send your comments and this letter or write your own to the PSC. Make sure you request a PUBLIC HEARING instead of the workshop because the hearing will be legally binding and the workshop is not. Thank you.
Peninsula Tea Party invited you to "Peninsula Tea Party Aug Meeting with Americans for Prosperity "
We need your help! We must hold our federal, state and local officials accountable. To do this, we must get to know our neighbors by discussing issues that are important to us.
The Peninsula Tea Party is partnering with Americans for Prosperity (AFP) to canvass neighborhoods. To do this, we must work together to protect individual rights.
IT IS VITAL THAT WE INSURE FREE, FAIR, AND HONEST ELECTIONS THIS YEAR.
One way to make a difference is to become an Election Officer. They have a lot of authority and control of the election process. It's also a paid position. You must be a registered Virginia voter and attend a local election board training to be an Election Officer.
If you are interested in becoming an Election Officer, go to http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/officers and fill out the online Election Officer Interest form. You may also contact your local, county or City Electoral Board and fill out their Election Official Application. You must inform the local board whether you support the Democrat or Republican party.
If you cannot be an Election Officer, consider being a Poll Watcher. Poll Watchers must be registered and a resident of Virginia. Poll Watchers must show a valid photo id. You will be considered as a representative of either the Democrat or Republican Party. The selected political party may vet to determine whether you will represent them as a poll watcher.
To become a poll watcher, go and submit the "Poll Watcher's Registration" on the Virginia Voters Alliance website, http://www.virginiavotersalliance.com. You will be contacted when the online training course is available.
Please recruit your friends and neighbors to volunteer.
WE NEED YOUR HELP IN THIS UNDERTAKING. THE OPPOSITION WILL FILL ANY VOID THAT WE LEAVE EMPTY. WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN OR WE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO LOSING THIS ELECTION. THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS. YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU. VOLUNTEER TODAY.
1. What does an election officer exactly do?
An election officer is a member of a bi-partisan team that has volunteered to run the election in the polling place. The team is responsible for insuring an election that is operated in accordance with the election laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The team opens and closes the polling place. The team is also responsible for recording the Statement of Results for their precinct that is sent to the local board of elections.
2.What does a poll watcher do?
A poll watcher is a representative designated by either the Democrat or Republican parties. In some situations the poll watcher can be inside the polling place at the request of an independent candidate. All poll watchers must present a certificate signed by a unit chair or independent candidate authorizing that person to be present in the polling place.
The poll watcher has two main duties. The first is to assist the party in their get out the vote activities usually using a list of anticipated party voters which is reported to precinct workers outside the polling place so the absent voters can be reminded to vote.
The second is to monitor the voting process to insure applicable laws are followed. If the poll watcher sees something questionable they must report it directly to the Election Chief or Assistant Chief. This is where voter fraud can be observed and reported. The poll watcher training goes into more detail about these activities.
3. Are there both inside the poll and outside the poll tasks for poll watchers? Different volunteers, or the same?
Outside volunteers are usually called outside poll workers and usually perform tasks requested by the party such as recruiting precinct volunteers and passing out sample ballots as voters enter the polling place. Outside workers must be outside the 40 foot no-electioneering zone.
Inside volunteers have the title of Poll Watchers and must present a certificate signed by the party to gain admittance to the polling place.

Newt Gingrich to Chris Matthews: Actually, Aren't You the One Being a Racist?


This came as the biggest news after the one that she is expecting a baby in the next months. She and her future husband, rocker Matt Bellamy were dating for over a year now. The actress's spokesman announced that they were expecting a baby in January 2011, after much speculation in the press. People.com has another source telling them that the couple "couldn't be more excited. Kate is really happy. She was always excited to have kids again at some point." She already has a seven year old son, Ryder Russell, with former husband Chris Robinson.
Kate and Matt's relationship was strong from the beginning. She introduced him to her family, mom Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell from the third month they were dating. It's no surprise that, after one year they decide to have a baby together and make a commitment to each other. Matt is only a few months older than her and he is the front man in the British rock band Muse. He has been in the music business since 1994, as a musician and a song writer.
The engagement ring that Kate got has a 9 carats rock according to a source cited by US Weekly. The center stone appears to be an emerald-cut gem with baguettes on either side set in platinum. Some speculate it's worth about 200,000 dollars. If so, then it has overcome the ring Hudson received in 2009 from boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, which was estimated to have cost around 40,000 dollars.
With all these amazing upcoming events in her life, Kate still has time for her acting career. She is preparing for the upcoming the romantic comedy "Something Borrowed" premiere, which will be on the big screen starting May 6th. She is playing the role of Darcy, a woman that marries her BFF prince charming.

Vaishno Devi near Jammu
It is very unlikely that one would have not heard of Vaishno Devi, as one of the famous pilgrim spot. It is the second most visited religious places in India. It is maintained by a trust named Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board. Vaishno Devi is a shrine and is worshipped as a"Shakti Peetha" and is revered as a source of energy and a manifestation of the Mother Goddess. This famous pilgrim spot is located in a small town named Katra, which is 45 kilometres away from Jammu. This Hindu temple is one of the best maintained and has a systematic set up to assist the pilgrims to have a safe and spiritual pilgrimage while they visit the most worshipped Hindu Goddess and is a beautiful abode of the Goddess in the Trikuta Mountain range in Jammu.
History of Vaishno Devi near Jammu
The story of Vaishno Devi finds its roots back in Chandi Uppurana. This shrine of the Mother Goddess is regarded as one of the most noteworthy Shakti Peetha of the total 108 Shakti Peetha's that is there. It is a customary belief that when Lord Vishnu cut Sati Maata's body into 108 peethas, and Lord Shiva carried the corpse and rambled in the snow, subsequently, 52 body parts fell into the earth's atmosphere and the rest of the 56 fell on other planets.
There are 51 Shakti Peeth connecting to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. In accordance, to the Chandi purana, Vaishno devi is not counted among 52 shakti peethas, this peeth is counted among 64 shakti peetha listed in Devi Bhagwat Purana and 108 Shakti Peethas planned in Chandi Purana. The sources claim that Vardaani Haath of Maa Sati fell here. This place includes three idols of Maha Saraswati, Maha Lakshmi, and Maha Kali, which are all different avatars of Vaishno Devi.
There is also another story of a little girl Vaishnavi, who is considered to be an incarnation of the Mother Goddess and it is believed that when she decided to discard her human avatar in order to partake the face of a rock she engrossed herself into meditation forever. Thus Vaishnavi, in the figure of a five-and-a-half-foot-tall rock with three heads or the Pindies on the top is the eventual target of a devotee. These Pindies compose the Sanctum Sanctorum of the holy cave known as the shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji, which is believed to be the source of all energy, as followed by the Hindus.
How to reach Vaishno Devi near Jammu
The temple of Vaishno Devi resides in a small town named Katra, which is in the Reasi district of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The shrine is located at an altitude of 5300 feet and a distance of approximately 12 kilometres from Katra, which is at a distance of a mere 45 kilometres from Jammu. A rail link from Udhampur, which is a district in Jammu, to Katra is completed of late to facilitate pilgrimage. The nearest airport is the airport in Jammu, which has a good number of connecting flights from the different parts of the country, and is served by most of the domestic airlines.
The normal procedure to reach the shrine of Vaishno Devi includes a process of obtaining a 'Yatra Parchi' (Journey Slip) for Darshan, from the establishment in Katra, post which the devotees can proceed to the Bhavan. The way to Bhavan is an upward slope and is steep, hence, requires a long walk uphill. There are also provisions of ponies and palanquin, which are available to the pilgrims. One can also opt for the Helicopter service for a large part of the trip. The Trust offers comfortable stay for pilgrims.
There is a tentative plan of Indian Railways to commence rail services up to Katra from March 2014. Talks are in progress with the Government of Jammu and Kashmir to incorporate permit slips for Vaishno Devi Darshan with the train ticket. This will allow the passenger to get permit slips while booking the train ticket.
Accommodation in Katra near Jammu
The board which controls the functioning of the Vaishno Devi temple, makes all possible arrangements for a comfortable stay for the pilgrims, however, once can always choose from the various two, three and four star hotels that are there in Katra and nearby places. The stay here is luxurious as well as comfortable and the value for money is optimum.
Thus, your visit to Jammu will be woven with spiritual contentment and inner satisfaction and joy, if you can materialise your plan of visiting this scintillating temple of Vaishno Devi. Your body, heart and soul will be dipped in immense reverence and gratitude, when you complete the "Darshan" of the deity and the almighty "Mata Rani".

It appears as if Full Tilt Poker has caught athlete fever since they've just signed tennis pro James Blake a week after signing British boxer Audley Harrison.
Blake became a professional tennis player in 1999, and rose to prominence in 2006 when he was the No. 4 ranked player in the world. Blake remained consistent up until 2009 as he never fell out of the top 15. Unfortunately, a string of poor tournament finishes have left Blake the 120th ranked player today. But that doesn't take anything away from his online poker appeal in Full Tilt's eyes.
Full Tilt is more interested in the fact that the 30 year-old Blake has won 15 tournament titles, earned over $7 million in his tennis career, and has played in casino poker events before. Blake's crowning poker tournament moment came when he finished second in Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. James also took 333rd place in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament during the 2008 WSOP. And while he hasn't had as much experience at the poker tables as fellow Full Tilt/athlete signee Audley Harrison ($207,936 in live tournament winnings), Blake still has a decent resume.
Now Blake will bear the Full Tilt logos in televised poker games, and promote some of the excellent online poker deals that FT offers. One of these excellent offers includes their 27% rakeback deals that anybody can sign up for. Under the Full Tilt rakeback deal, you'll receive $0.27 back on every dollar you contribute in rake.
Considering the fact that many internet poker players spend thousands of dollars in rake every month, this could potentially mean hundreds of dollars back in your pocket. And when you factor in all of the other great deals at Full Tilt, this is obviously one of the best poker sites on the internet!

Seen In Natomas: La Bou Closes Its Doors

The La Bou restaurant in South Natomas closed for business permanently earlier this week. The closure marks the end of an era for the longtime business, known by many as the "original" Natomas community center. The La Bou restaurant in North Natomas closed earlier this year.

How sad! This place was booming whenever I happened to be in the area to see it. What happened? I'll miss having the live music on the weekends. Adieu, La Bou.
Ragno says
That's too bad . . . . wasn't the library originally located in that shopping center?
Carl says
As a former fellow long term tenant in the "Pink" Plaza, we had already missed the Mary and Gene days and "the original Natomas Community Center". Lack of vagrancy and tresspassing enforcement in the adjacent park and in front of the businesses spell further doom to the center.
This is sad. It was my first introduction to La Bou 9 years ago. They are still one of my favorite places to eat. Thank God the Howe Ave place is booming.

I a'm so happy you guys did a cooking issue. I recently picked up the hobby and have enjoyed it a lot. nd its nice to serve real food at D&D games instead of pizza.
My first comment in the Letters to the Editor.
Makes me feel really proud to be part of The Escapist. Thankyou.
I not only got reposted in Letters to the Editor, but the reposted comment after mine was one that quoted me!
I realize that this is only giving me an ego high because I have absolutely nothing else going on right now. I've been out of work for almost a year, haven't gotten one call back on dozens of applications, can't afford any of the new, great games I want, and worst of all, I am forced to live in my parents' house. So what I'm saying is, I'LL TAKE ABSOLUTELY ANY CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS I CAN GET, AND I'M ALLOWED.

Basic Steps: I have always wanted an industrial, raw, chic space but could not live without color, so we decided to create a white space because I had a lot of stuff purchased prior to the renovation that was all so colorful. Because of the nature of my work as a food stylist, writer and entrepreneur, and my love of collecting all things, my designer, Elle Uy, and I decided on creating an open shelf, which would be the anchor of the entire room. I have always loved and pegged open shelves in magazines. To add the industrial feel, we decided to install a faux brick wall and made lighting fixtures with water pipes and fake exposed it on the ceiling. For my cork and white board, my designer decided on covering the corners with wood edging painted with white to blend in with the design of the room. To add a homey feel, we reupholstered an old sofa I had at home and made a seating area by the door. I also hung my works and made a gallery out of it to add color to the room.
There are many things you can do when renovating. It is like starting with a blank canvas. Knowing what look you want with matching pegs downloaded to your computer or iPad will make the entire process easier to start with. Edit before you start. Second, be ready and be patient. Sometimes things don't turn out the way you planned and there will be slight delays in the project. Don't rush things, as they will not make you happy in the end.
Oooo can I work here? This space is an amazing make over. I don't know what that couch looked like before but it looks like a really expensive antique piece in your office now. It looks great with that light blue table next to it.
wow the befores look like every boring office i've ever worked in! i can't imagine transforming those places into something as beautiful as this!
I am absolutely blown away by this transformation! Gorgeous!
So cute! I'm kinda confused of the new vs. old layout, It looks like they took out all the closets? But it looks great, not even like the same room!
Wow! absolutely love it!!!! I've been working so hard on renovating my studio space! I love how light and clean this one looks. I hope mine ends up looking somewhat like it!
I love it! What a great space to be creative in!
This is amazing! So beautiful! What a transformation!
Incredibly beautiful. I LOVE COLOR!
Stunning transformation!! The brightness makes the space seem so large and appealing.
I have a question, though: how is it on the eyes? Mine tend to hurt when I'm looking at bright/white spaces for long periods of time. Plus I find that I focus better when I'm in a darker space and only my screen or my immediate work surface is illuminated… which totally contradicts my desires for a future office space! Sigh.
That is beautiful! It hardly looks like the same space. The colourful accents add so much warmth to the room and make it look like a fun place to work. I love the olive couch in the white frame!
gorgeous! i love how it still looks polished and put together while being sooooo fun!
Wow! Great use of color — makes such a difference. I really like your selection of contrasting chairs, too.
Oh my, great transformation. I have worked in a few offices like the original and it is definitely uninspiring and even dreadful. Job well done! I can't believe it is the same space. I love the cherry colored paper tray!
love this office redo! Loving the use of colors and the light – how is there so much light in this space now – compared to earlier – its amazing!
Love love love Elle's work. Everything she does is fun!
No WAY that's the same space! Absolutely stunning. The only thing that doesn't work for me is having all the framed magazine covers slightly askew. That would make me nuts. But otherwise lovely.
Wow, this is a doozy of goodness. Amazing.
OMG! I have a very similar desk. Did you paint your old desk white or did you buy a new one? Was it difficult?
This is so gorgeous! I love these colors!
Love the transformation! I am currently working on my own office space redesign (though on a much smaller scale since it's actually in my living room). I have a gigantic printer for 11×14 scanning and I don't know where to put (read: hide) it. Whenever I see these types of pics I never see printers. Where do they go?!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The Lucite chairs are so darn cute! I love the green. Typically, I loathe track lighting, but this is done so well, that I LOVE it! The little couch is so fun for an office. And the pillows are adorable!
The whole thing is so fantastically well done, I just can't believe it's the same space!
I love the color. It would read even better if the cord management issues had be addressed.
Wow I am so impressed, definitely a BIG inspiration for my new office home office. I absolutely love the green tea colour ghost chairs.
Fabulous! Could you tell us where you purchased the cabinetry and counter tops? Thanks!
What is the flooring? Very impressive transformation!
Want the pink and white chair!
I am loving this transformation. Talk about your caterpillar and butterfly! Those green lucite chairs just knock me out!
TOO fabulous! It is so refreshing, and I'd love to work there… I would be SO inspired.
Wow that is quite the transformation! I wish my office looked like this, bright and airy. Love it!
Gorgeous, the shelving really makes a HUGE difference. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Sharlene, if you ever need a financial controller with a sunny disposition and a creative side, I'm your gal because I would love to work in this space! So beautiful and happy, for such a nice price too.
Aaaahh. Love this! So gorgeous.
I REALLY LIKE THE CREATIVITY ,I AM HOPING ONE DAY I CAN DECORATE MY BEDROOM AND CHILDREN ROOM WITH YOUR HELP.
Seriously awesome and soooo inspiring! I love it – you've fueled my desire to create my own work space. I love how you have the different & smart workable areas! Thanks for sharing! Love it.
I truly love it! Well done! I imagine it must be such a joy to come to work every day :) …real inspiration for me! Thank you!
Wow, what a stunning transformation!
It's fantastic and worth every penny spent!
What an incredible transformation. Love it.
The bright colours are amazing! The wallpaper behind the bookshelves is especially remarkable.
Such a lovely space, I especially like the use of picture frames to create the photo wall. Nice work, bravo!
Fabulous!! So bright & cheery. I especially love the shots of yellow walls and the funky wall paper peeking through the shelving unit.
Kat Randall – we took down all the cabinets to make some space and that allowed us to put a sofa and the gallery wall above it.
Kristan – Too white is not really an issue. It's actually very comfortable. We mixed both white and warm white lights in the room so we can choose which to turn on depending on our mood.
Nik – well, I wouldn't really know because the printer on the photo (the one beside the green boxes) is what I actually use. Elle can answer this!
Rae – will think of what we can do with the cords.
Tania – will give you a call Tania, thanks!
Kellij – As you can see from the before and after, we used the same desk which was given to me by my Dad. It used to be brown and we wanted it to look like a vintage desk so we made a light blue shade of paint and used a brush to achieve the strokes. We also intentionally added distressed parts in the table to make it look shabby chic.
Jennifer – The cabinets and counter tops were all made by the carpenters who worked during the renovation.
Kay – The flooring is from Pergo.
Wonderful! Could you please tell me the source of the white lower cabinets?
Wow! This is gorgeous! I love how it feels so light and airy, clean and modern! I am constantly rearranging my narrow space and can't seem to get it right. LOVE this.
love the white background for pieces with lots of color. very nicely done!
holy macaroni, that looks awesome!!
I love the clear green acrylic chairs. Where can I find these?
Amazing transformation! I have to say it was rather depressing work space before, and after!! WOW!!
It's like someone opened the windows & doors and let in all the fresh air and sunshine!
Hi Anne! As with the shelves, the cabinets were all custom made by the carpenters to our specifications.
Claire – it is the same room! With better lighting, a fresh new coat of paint and some layout changes, we turned it into a relaxing space.
I run a startup company and i have a small office.I redesigned the whole place using the one of pic in our post.This redo changed the look and atmosphere of my office space.
I would love to know where that yellow leather briefcase came from?
Sharlene—Do you have any "before" shots of the couch? I love-love-love it.
ooops nevermind, Grace, I see it! sorry!
What a transformation. They're just gorgeous work spaces!
Hi Shelly! The yellow briefcase is from The Cambridge Satchel Co. I got the music bag instead of the usual satchel.
Hey, this was featured at Real Living magazine's Oct. 2011 issue. The pictures are exactly the same… Great space, btw.
This office is absolutely amazing! It has given me some new ideas for how to approach my home office/craft room redesign. Can't wait to tacklet it!!
Thank you for all the compliments :) I'm so happy with how this space turned out. I agree the wiring should be addressed. We'll tackle that next.
Hi Prec! Yes, it was featured on the cover of Real Living Philippines for October. The pictures aren't exactly the same as different photographers took the photo here and the one on the cover of the magazine. Thanks for liking!
Inspiring redo for my new studio!
I love that orange/red wire paper rack! Where is it from, I would like one for me office. Any ideas about where to find it?
I got so inspired from this! I just renovated my workspace, heavily inspired from this. Mine is a small office in Mumbai, India, and I had very low budgets. I studied this project an commissioned my carpenters to create a space similar to this.

Geely Auto seeks 90% sales from new-energy vehicles by 2020
About two-thirds of Geely's new-energy vehicle sales will come from plug-in hybrids and gasoline-electric hybrids
Geely Auto seeks 90% sales from new-energy vehicles by 2020 About two-thirds of Geely's new-energy vehicle sales will come from plug-in hybrids and gasoline-electric hybrids Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/1j9xfy7
Published 10:43 a.m. ET Nov. 19, 2015
Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. said it will target new-energy vehicles to make up 90 percent of sales by 2020, the most ambitious plan by a Chinese carmaker so far to improve fuel efficiency ahead of a government-mandated deadline.
About two-thirds of Geely's new-energy vehicle sales will come from plug-in hybrids and gasoline-electric hybrids by the end of the decade, with the remaining from battery-electric vehicles, the company said on Wednesday. China has a deadline requiring automakers to lower average fuel consumption across their models from 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers this year to no more than 5 liters/100 km by 2020.
"Geely is officially stating that it will be the first automotive company in China to reach the government's vision for a 5 liter/100 km fuel directive by 2020," An Conghui, president of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., said in a statement. "We aim to allow consumers to realize their dream of driving powerful, extremely fuel efficient vehicles."
Chinese carmakers are developing hybrid and electric vehicles in order to meet government-mandated fuel economy improvements. China has made the development of EVs a strategic initiative as part of a broader push to lead in the automotive technology, curb pollution and cut dependence on imported oil. The government said last month it will boost subsidies to speed up the building of recharging stations and has banned cities from imposing purchase restrictions on new-energy vehicles.
Geely Auto climbed 5 percent to HK$4.17 in Hong Kong, the biggest gain since Oct. 15. The benchmark Hang Seng Index advanced 1.4 percent.
The company also said it aims to make "substantial progress" on fuel cell vehicles by 2020, without providing details. Geely started sales of its first electric car on Wednesday, with a price of 228,800 yuan ($35,875) before government subsidies of about 108,000 yuan.
By 2020, Geely plans to offer its plug-in hybrid models at prices equivalent to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. The company has enough capital to fund the development of alternative-energy vehicles and has no financing plans, An said.
Electric vehicles are held back by high costs, limited driving ranges and a shortage of charging facilities, according to a report by Bloomberg Intelligence.
China will probably focus on improving infrastructure and technology to promote sales of alternative-energy vehicles in its 13th Five-Year Plan ending 2020, said Steve Man and Ji Shi, in the report. Priorities may include building more charging stations and improving battery efficiency, they said.

PICTORIAL: How Makerere University fire destroyed 98-year history
Nine-year-old girl commits suicide after being told to wash utensils
UNIMAGINABLE: 17 dead after truck carrying explosives collides with motorcycle
Home News Education
At around 12am, fire gutted the 98 year- old main administration building at Makerere University destroying records and property worth millions of shillings.

The Main Building with its unique 20th century British architecture is easily Makerere's most recognizable symbol and was constructed with funds from the Colonial Development house and was completed in 1941 under the leadership of George C. Turner, the Principal, Makerere College (1939-46).
However, the Sunday morning fire is said to have started from the roof spreading to floors that house both records and finance departments.
By 10am, over nine hours later, the Fire Brigade and Rescue Services Directorate of the Uganda Police was still grappling with the fire.

Over five fire tenders were deployed to put out the fire that was still raging on.
On Sunday morning, the First Lady who also doubles as the Education Minister, Janet Museveni met with officials from the university led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof.Barnabas Nawangwe in a closed door meeting to get detailed information about the fire.
Journalists were not allowed to cover the meeting.
"This fire started past mid night in the roof of the office of the public relations department, went down to the university secretary's office, spread to the southern wing which houses the records. We have lost mainly the records," said Alex Kakooza, the Ministry of Education Permanent Secretary later after the meeting.

Just like many have described it, Kakooza noted that the university has not lost only the build but an iconic figure that it presented.
"This is an iconic building not only in this country but world over. You could be the most recognizable building in this country and you can talk of Makerere University and don't mention the Ivory Tower," he said.
According to Prof.Buyinza Mukadasi, the Director of Research and Graduate Training the building was the identity and heritage of the country's main university.
"There are not many buildings of that nature still standing in Uganda. There is no amount of money that can give the satisfaction one could get with that building. We are now a society without a history because it was part of the civilization of the country," Buyinza said.
An unidentified man carries some of the remains from the Makerere University main building.
The professor explained that having spent almost his entire employment time at Makerere, the main building was a source of satisfaction by a mere looking at it noting that a lot has been lost.
"No amount of resources or investment can give you the pride that the building had. It was a point of reference to many people not only in Uganda but the world at large."

For 72 -year -old Simon Ssagala Mulindwa, the former manager in charge of the Makerere University printer, the building was a source of pride to very many big shots in Africa who studied at the university.
"Many former Presidents including Kibaki, Obote and many others in Africa studied here and by a mere looking at the building, they always felt proud. The pride will be no more,"Mulindwa said.
Investigations start
According to sources and some eyewitnesses, investigations will mostly zero down to where the fire started.
Eyewitnesses who preferred anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, the cause of the fire being an electricity circuit has been ruled out since nothing of the sort ever happened.
The Police Crime Investigations Director, AIGP Grace Akullo told journalists that investigations into the fire have kicked off.

"We have started to investigate the exact cause of the fire. We want to find out whether it was an arson or any other cause. At the moment it is too early to speculate the cause," Akullo said.
The Ministry of Education Permanent Secretary explained that Police have been asked to expedite investigations.
"The First Lady has requested that investigations be expedited. After investigations, we shall go into the structural analysis to see which part of the building can be salvaged and what to be demolished,"Kakooza said.
Makerere University officials carry documents from the building that caught fire.
"We shall later get the bills of quantities for the cost and government will decide on what to do."
When asked whether a similar structure will be reconstructed at the scene, Kakooza said that would be the ideal situation but noted it would have modern facilities.

Cilic seeks rebound from Wimbledon heartache
Marin Cilic (Getty)
Hand-me-down kid Tiafoe targets childhood hero Federer
Anderson clears first hurdle at US Open
Muguruza advances, Konta out as Sharapova returns at US Open
New York - Marin Cilic tried to find confidence from the heartbreak of an injury-hampered Wimbledon final loss in his return on Monday at the US Open after an adductor muscle strain.
The thigh injury left him in tears on the court as he lost to Roger Federer last month in a bid for a second Grand Slam crown after his 2014 US Open triumph.
"I knew that, OK, I was not physically 100 percent in that final. That was just tough for me to handle, especially in that moment," Cilic said.
"But I took all positives out of it. Up to the end of Wimbledon, I had really consistent play, maybe the best ever in my career, so that's extremely positive for me. Now I'm looking to build on that."
In his first match since Wimbledon, the Croatian fifth seed outlasted 105th-ranked American Tennys Sandgren 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 on Monday to reach the second round on the New York hardcourts.
"Reaching another Grand Slam final is big motivation for me," Cilic said.
"I'm looking forward to getting to my good form, keep it month after month. Hopefully next 12, 18 months I can be looking back with some great results as well."
After the long injury layoff, Cilic hopes to quickly play his way into shape as the Flushing Meadows fortnight unfolds.
"Everything feels OK physically. I'm very happy with that. That's the number one thing," he said.
"On the court I'm just lacking a little bit of that consistency point after point, to be continuing with my aggression. After those first two sets, which were quite good considering I haven't played, just dropped little bit with my game.
"I was actually feeling that could be also quite good for me to get in some rallies, battle it out, just mentally wise to get myself in a good position. Not the best as I would want, but still in a good way."
Cilic inherited the draw spot belonging to Britain's Andy Murray when the second seed withdrew Saturday due to a left hip injury, meaning a new path to the final and a switch in first-match foe from Frenchman Gilles Simon on short notice.
"It didn't bother me much in my preparation," Cilic said. "Basically still my biggest focus is on myself, to get my game on a good level.
"It's a great opportunity. That bottom part of the draw is a little bit more open there. Still focusing on myself to get to the good form and try to pass first couple rounds. Then I think my tennis is going to get better."
With defending champion Stan Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic joining Murray out of the event, and stars Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the other half of the draw, the chances for Cilic improve to reach another Slam final.
The only higher-ranked rival on his side of the draw is German 20-year-old fourth seed Alexander Zverev, who has never gone past the fourth round in a Slam.
"I had to take a long break without tennis, without running, so just pushed me back a bit," Cilic said. "The opportunities are there. It's just whether to be ready or not."

Biden intends to visit U.S.-Mexico border
HEBRON, Ky. –
President Joe Biden said Wednesday he intends to visit the U.S.-Mexico border — his first since taking office — in connection with his meeting next week in Mexico City with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.
"That's my intention, we're working out the details now," Biden told reporters during a trip to Kentucky.
Biden said upon his return to the White House that he hoped to see "what's going on" at the border and also planned to make remarks about border security on Thursday.
There have been large increases in the number of migrants at the border even as a U.S. public health law remains in place that allows American authorities to turn away many people seeking asylum in the United States. Republican leaders have criticized the president for policies that they say are ineffective on border security and they have questioned why he has not made a trip there yet.
Immigration will be among the top talking points at the summit Monday and Tuesday when Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are hosted by Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Early in his president, Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the White House effort to tackle the migration challenge at the border and work with Central American nations to address central causes of the problem. She visited El Paso, Texas, in June 2021 and was criticized for choosing a location too far from the epicenter of border crossings that straining federal resources.
For now, the Supreme Court has for now kept in place Trump-era restrictions, often known as Title 42 in reference to a 1944 public health law, after Biden acted to end them and Republicans sued in response. Title 42 was invoked to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but there always has been criticism that the restrictions were used as a pretext by then-President Donald Trump to seal off the border.
The Biden administration has yet to lay out any systemic changes to manage an expected surge of migrants should the restrictions end. In Congress, a bipartisan immigration bill was buried shortly before Republicans assumed control of the House.
Biden made his comment about the upcoming visit during a stop in Kentucky at a highway bridge that is receiving federal dollars under the bipartisan infrastructure law.
Trump visited the U.S. side of the border as president several times times, including one trip to McAllen, Texas, where he claimed Mexico would pay for the border wall.
American taxpayers ended up covering the costs. Mexican leaders had flatly rejected the idea when Trump pressed them early on. "NO," Enrique Pena Nieto, then Mexico's president, tweeted in May 2018. "Mexico will NEVER pay for a wall. Not now, not ever. Sincerely, Mexico (all of us)."

As an avid crafter, I tend to hoard things that I am convinced can be upcyled into beautiful DIY projects. I have a closet full of empty tins, broken picture frames, old jars and other treasures.
I had an tea tin from Starbucks that was the prefect pairing for my note cards. I added a little Designer Series paper, a tag and a bow and it transformed into a fab giftable!
With a custom card size I needed custom envelopes. Cut the BIRTHDAY BOUQUET DESIGNER SERIES PAPER to 6" x 6" and use the ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD to create these beautiful envelopes. You will want to use FAST FUSE or TEAR & TAPE ADHESIVE to assemble the envelopes. It will give you more sticking power.
To finish the gift, I added a tag and some of the stunning POOL PARTY 3/8" GLITTER RIBBON.
I wanted to stay with the quick and easy theme so I colored the bloom with a SPONGE DAUBER using OLD OLIVE & BLUSHING BRIDE ink. The center of the flower sparkles with a touch of GOLD WINK OF STELLA GLITTER BRUSH painted on it.
I know you all are going to love this set of cards as much as I do. I will be having a class soon. Follow me on social media or my blog and watch for the announcement.

Nye Jones is a freelance opinion and features writer specialising in housing, homelessness, social policy and drug addiction. He has reported extensively on grassroots housing activism, regeneration and homelessness in London and beyond. If you are a campaign/community fighting back against forces of gentrification and regeneration he wants to hear from you. He has written for multiple publications including The Guardian and The Independent.
How 'placemaking' is tearing apart social housing communities | Nye Jones
It's gentrification by any other name, helping councils to force out tenants and decimate public housing, says the freelance writer Nye Jones
Why do councils encourage profiteering from homelessness? | Nye Jones
Throwing money at landlords doesn't address the causes of homelessness, says housing campaigner Nye Jones
Opinion: Why we need to stop calling people 'homeless'
Imagine a world in which your identity rested solely on the type of home you lived in. A world in which people were defined as bedsitters, flat-sharers or one-up-one-downers, instead of a combination of complex intertwining factors like race, political beliefs, age, gender or sexuality.
These Tories won't fix the rough sleeping crisis, no matter what they say | Nye Jones
They encourage us to think that anyone who is homeless deserves it. A radical cultural shift is needed on this subject, says writer and housing campaigner Nye Jones
With the chemsex scene booming, are gay men using drugs to medicate complex issues around sex?
Experts say many men have a 'sex problem' and are using drugs as the solution. Traditional treatment methods may not be enough. Kos' weekend escalates quickly. He planned to have a quiet few days off work but a couple of drinks and a line of the party drug mephedrone later, he's 'slamming' (injecting) crystal methamphetamine and having sex with multiple men at a stranger's party.
Rough Sleeping Is at Record Levels, so Why Don't People Care? | Novara Media
The Tories want people to believe homelessness is complex and rough sleepers are to blame for their situation. The truth is they have been let down by a system that could easily be changed if there was the political will to do so.
Can Housing First help homeless people address their drug and alcohol use?
A new project in Dundee gives homeless people unconditional homes and support. What impact has it had on the 'drug death capital of Europe'? Down the quiet backstreets of Dundee, a world away from the flashy new V&A museum, Angie opens the door to an unremarkable domestic scene.
The hidden generation of drinkers
People over 50 are using alcohol as a way of dealing with factors like divorce and bereavement. We need to show them they aren't alone. Growing up in South Wales, alcohol has always played a part in Vince's life.
For women who use drugs, treatment can be a man's world
Research shows it can take years for a woman to ask for help but if they don't receive the right support immediately they are significantly less likely to return. Karen Tyrell from Addaction has worked with people using drugs for more than 20 years.
London councils pay landlords £14m in 'incentives' to house homeless people
Cash-strapped London councils are paying private landlords more than £14m a year in "incentives" simply to persuade them to house homeless people, the Guardian can reveal. The sweetener payments of up to £8,300 each were made to landlords more than 5,700 times in 2018 to house people who were either homeless or considered at risk of homelessness, freedom of information requests have revealed.

Adobe AIR and Adobe Flex 3 Now Available
Enterprise & IT	 Feb 26,2008	 0
Adobe announced the availability of Adobe AIR and Adobe Flex 3 software, furthering the Adobe technology platform for rich Internet applications (RIAs). Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex and Adobe Flash Player software are the foundation of the Adobe technology platform for RIAs. Adobe RIA technologies include tools, frameworks, servers, services, and runtimes that work together. There are a variety of learning resources at the Adobe Developer Connection (developer.adobe.com ) to help developers immediately start building RIAs for the browser and the desktop.
Adobe AIR enables developers to create RIAs on the desktop using the skills and Web technologies — such as HTML, Ajax, PDF, Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex — they already employ. Applications deployed on Adobe AIR have the advantages of browser-based RIAs, such as speed of development, ease of use, and access from virtually anywhere. Yet they also have the benefits of desktop applications, such as the ability to read/write local files, work with other applications on a user's computer and maintain local data storage on the desktop.
Flex is a free, open source framework for building highly interactive, expressive RIAs. Adobe Flex Builder 3, an Eclipse based development tool, accelerates Flex application development and includes new capabilities for deploying RIAs on Adobe AIR. Adobe Flex Builder 3 integrates with Adobe Creative Suite 3 software making it easy for designers and developers to work together more efficiently.New testing tools, including memory and performance profilers and integrated support for automated functional testing.
Major portions of Adobe AIR, such as the WebKit HTML engine, Tamarin ActionScript Virtual Machine, and SQLite local database functionality, are open source.

With the Black Friday shopping bonanza approaching, a survey has found that the majority of UK shoppers don't know that their rights differ when we shop in store and online.
According to consumer watchdog Which?, more than half of shoppers assumed that their rights when returning non-faulty goods were the same whether shopping in a store, or on the web.
A survey of more than 2,000 shoppers found that three in 10 knew that there was a difference, but 20 per cent were unaware that online shops guarantee a 14-day returns window for non-faulty items.
However, on the high street the rights of customers can vary from store to store.
Only four in ten of those surveyed knew they weren't guaranteed a full refund if they bought an unwanted item in store.
If you're planning to start your Christmas shopping in the Black Friday sales this week, make sure you're in the know.
You're legally entitled to a full refund for a non-faulty, online purchase if you change your mind within 14 days of delivery. However, this may not be the case if you bought it in store.
It's always best to double-check the domain name of the website you're buying from and beware of unusual payment methods, such as bank transfers.
While some stores may choose to offer a full refund for a product you no longer want, others may disappoint consumers by offering a credit note, an exchange or nothing.
Check the individual store's return policy at the till.
Our research found that only 8% of the Black Friday deals we checked from last year were cheapest on Black Friday itself.

PMB Will Get Block Votes In FCT – Shettima
Blessing Bature
The FCT Coordinator, Presidential Support Committee for Buhari (PSCB), Alhaji Muhammad Musa Shettima, has boasted that President Muhammadu Buhari, would garner a block vote during the 2019 presidential election in the territory.
Speaking during the All Progressives Congress (APC) direct presidential primaries in Abaji at the weekend, Shettima disclosed that FCT residents have already vowed to come out enmass to vote massively for President Buhari.
He stated that residents have identify the performance of the APC-led administration under President Buhari, especially in infrastructural development, roads, railway, economic stability and the fight against corruption.
The coordinator noted that FCT has always been the strong hold of President Buhari since 2003, adding that he (Buhari) has never lost election in FCT despite alleged rigging by the then ruling party.
"I want to state categorically without mincing words that President Muhammadu Buhari shall get a block votes in next year's election in the FCT. This is because since 2003, he has been winning all presidential election in FCT. And if you doubt, the records are there at INEC office. You can go and cross check. "
He pointed out that the direct presidential primaries adopted by the national working committee of the APC was a clear indication that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria, adding that every individual would be allowed to chose candidate directly without imposition.
Shettima therefore commended the national executive committee of the party under the leadership of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, party stakeholders and members in the FCT for coming out enmass to declare their support for re-election of Buhari in 2019.

Washington D.C. - A new report from the restrictionist group, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), Immigration and Crime: Assessing a Conflicted Issue, attempts to overturn a century's worth of research which has demonstrated repeatedly that immigrants are less likely than the native-born to commit violent crimes or end up behind bars. The CIS report focuses much of its attention on questioning the accuracy of the 2000 Census data used in two studies in particular: The Myth of Immigrant Criminality and the Paradox of Assimilation, published by the Immigration Policy Center (IPC) in 2007, and Crime, Corrections, and California: What Does Immigration Have to Do with It?, published by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) in 2008. However, CIS ignores not only the many other sources of data in these two studies, but the myriad studies from other researchers which have reached the same conclusion.
CIS's real agenda appears to be to promote the 287(g) and Secure Communities programs, which - while purporting to identify and capture "criminal aliens"- are actually identifying many individuals who are not criminals, or even immigrants. In fact, recent Secure Communities data shows over 4,000 U.S. citizens who received "hits" through the program. There are many problems with the data from both of these programs, which CIS cites extensively to make its case. Localities with 287(g)'s are a self-selected group, and their data is not representative of the entire country. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) testified in March 2009 that 287(g) has been poorly managed, and that the data which participating agencies are to track and report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has not been defined. As a result, there is no consistency in the reporting of data. Secure Communities is an even smaller program with a similarly problematic data and reporting system.
Leaving aside the technical (and highly debatable) claims which CIS makes about the accuracy of 2000 Census data, the fact remains that the evidence demonstrating relatively low rates of criminality and incarceration among immigrants comes from far more sources than just the decennial census. It also comes from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), the Immigration and Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan Los Angeles (IIMMLA) survey, the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS), the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), and in-depth community-based studies in cities such as Chicago, San Diego, El Paso, and Miami.
Robert J. Sampson, Chair of the Sociology Department at Harvard University, writes in the Winter 2008 edition of the American Sociological Association's Contexts magazine, that "immigration-even if illegal-is associated with lower crime rates in most disadvantaged urban neighborhoods." Sampson draws in particular on his years of fieldwork in 180 Chicago neighborhoods, as well as police records, to conclude that "?rst-generation immigrants (those born outside the United States) were 45 percent less likely to commit violence than third-generation Americans, adjusting for individual, family, and neighborhood background."
Rubén G. Rumbaut, Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and co-author of the IPC study which CIS attempts to debunk, describes the many sources of data which dispel the myth of immigrant criminality. Writing in an April 2009report from the Police Foundation, Rumbaut observes that "both contemporary and historical studies, including official crime statistics and victimization surveys since the early 1990s, data from the last three decennial censuses, national and regional surveys in areas of immigrant concentration, and investigations carried out by major government commissions over the past century, have shown instead that immigration is associated with lower crime rates and lower incarceration rates."
The July 6, 2009, edition of the conservative magazine Reason features an article entitled "The El Paso Miracle ," which notes that "by conventional wisdom, El Paso, Texas should be one of the scariest cities in America" given its poverty, its large population of less-educated immigrants (many of whom are unauthorized), and its location just across the border from the "super-violent" Mexican city Ciudad Juarez. Yet El Paso "is one of the safest big cities in America." The article observes that this "may not be an anomaly at all. Many criminologists say El Paso isn't safe despite its high proportion of immigrants, it's safe because of them."
In other words, numerous researchers drawing upon numerous sources of data have reached the same conclusion that the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform reached in its 1984 report - which also happens to be the conclusion reached by the Industrial Commission of 1901, the Dillingham Immigration Commission of 1911, and the Wickersham National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement of 1931: that immigration is not associated with higher crime.
Benjamin E. Johnson is the Executive Director of Immigration Policy Center and was named Director of the American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) in June 2007. Prior to that, he was Director of AILF's Immigration Policy Center since February 2003. Mr. Johnson has written extensively on immigration law and policy, and has appeared on National Public Radio, Fox News, BBC World News, and other television and radio programs. In 1994, Mr. Johnson co-founded and served as the Director of the Immigration Outreach Center in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1999, he joined the staff of the American Immigration Lawyers Association as Associate Director of Advocacy, where he worked with Congress, the Administration, and federal agencies on a wide variety of immigration-related issues. Prior to his work on immigration issues, he worked as a criminal and civil trial attorney in San Diego, California. Mr. Johnson is a graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law and studied international and comparative law at Kings College in London.

Tucker Carlson says it's unfair to call the Portland attacker a white supremacist
Carlson: This is "hardly the behavior of a coherent white supremacist," but "fake civil rights groups" like the SPLC "jumped onboard immediately"
From the May 30 edition of Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight:
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): As you may have heard, over the weekend, a deranged man in the state of Oregon called Jeremy Christian began berating Muslims on a train, and when three men approached to intervene, he stabbed two of them to death. It was an atrocity, but it was only the first of many in the story.
Almost immediately after it happened, the press scrambled to define what exactly had happened. Right wing, white supremacist commits murder, provoked by Trump's climate of hate, or maybe climate of fear, maybe both.
Fake civil rights groups like the Center for Islamic Relations and the Southern Poverty Law Center jumped onboard immediately, blaming President Trump's rhetoric.
The accused killer was not a Trump voter, he actually backed Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders in the 2016 race and indeed called for violent attacks on Trump supporters during the election. A video from the day before the stabbing shows him denouncing not just Muslims, but also, Jews and Christians. And in a Facebook posting from last June, he attacked Hillary Clinton for allegedly keeping Honduran refugees out of this country. Hardly the behavior of a coherent white supremacist.
At the alt-right rally, supposedly attended in April, he was apparently there to pick fights with everyone, whether they loved trump or hated him. Once you dig a little, you find this guy wasn't a right-winger, but an unstable maniac who hated almost everybody, and maybe inevitably was going to lash out at some point, but don't tell that tot the media, though. Like progressives everywhere, they see racists under every bed.

International Legislation and Policy Framework
Summary report on CITES COP 18, Geneva (Switzerland)
Lizanne Nel
Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) met in Geneva from 17 to 28 August to adopt decisions and resolutions to mitigate negative impacts of international trade on wild plants and animals. As clear and enforceable rules based on sound science and effective policies are vital for protecting natural wealth and achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, CITES sets the rules for international trade in wildlife in an attempt to prevent and reverse trade-related declines in wildlife populations.
Proposals and decisions
Governments have submitted 56 new proposals to change the levels of protection that CITES provides for species of wild animals and plants that are part of the international trade. Proposals that concerned South Africa in particular, will be discussed briefly below.
Presentation Godfrey Harris, director ivory education, Cop18
The Ivory Education Institute is an official observer at the 18th meeting of the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. About 4,000 official delegates, observers, media and interested individuals have gathered in Geneva in a UN-secured site for the 11-day conference that may have great bearing on the future status of objects made from or with ivory.. The Ivory Institute was delighted and surprised, then, that the European Commission invited us to share our concerns at a special meeting BEFORE the opening of the Conference.
