San Juan Mayor Responds To Trump: 'You Don't Put Debt Above People'
September 26, 2017, 11:01 AM EDT
The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico asked President Trump on Tuesday to focus on the people in crisis in the U.S. territory instead of Puerto Rico's debt.
After being criticized for obsessing over NFL protests instead of the devastation in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma and Maria, Trump finally tweeted about the crisis Monday night, but seemingly blamed the U.S. territory's debt and "broken infrastructure" for the widespread wreckage.
"Texas and Florida are doing great, but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure and massive debt, is in deep trouble," he tweeted, saying the electrical grid was already in "terrible shape" and mentioning the "billions" the territory owes Wall Street.
Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble..
…It's old electrical grid, which was in terrible shape, was devastated. Much of the Island was destroyed, with billions of dollars….
…owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with. Food, water and medical are top priorities – and doing well. #FEMA
In response, San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz asked Trump to treat hurricane relief and Puerto Rico's debt as "two different issues."
"With all due respect, these are two different topics," she said on CNN's "New Day" Tuesday morning. "One topic is the massive debt, which we know we have and it's been dealt with. But you don't put debt above people, you put people above debt. So, what we are asking for and what — what I'm asking for, and this is my comment, nobody else's comment — is let's deal with the two issues in a separate way."
She said the U.S. has a "moral imperative" to help out the islands, which she described as being in "dire need"
"When somebody is in need, when somebody is in dire need, when somebody is in a life or death situation, there's a human, moral imperative to deal with that situation first and then deal with any other situations coming your way," she said, calling the situation a "humanitarian crisis."
Georgetown Law Students Uninvited From Sessions' 'Free Speech' Event
More than 130 Georgetown University law students have been uninvited to Attorney General Jeff Sessions' speech about free speech on campus set for Tuesday afternoon, according to a statement from the Georgetown Law American Constitution Society.
Sessions' speech will condemn the recent rise in opposition to unrestricted free speech on college campuses and will end with a question and answer session with one of the law school professors, according to the university's student publication, The Hoya.
"It is extraordinarily hypocritical that AG Sessions wants to lecture future attorneys about the importance of free speech on campus while excluding the wider student body from his very own 'safe space,'" the constitution society president Daniel Blauser said in a statement. "We welcomed the debate, but sadly the school seems to want to limit attendance to help ensure a sympathetic audience."
The event was meant to be restricted to a small group of students, but the lottery page to sign up for seats was "circulated more generally by students," Blauser told TPM.
The uninvited students received a message from the school informing them their ticket had been revoked due to an "error." The event was intended for members of the Center for the Constitution's student invitation list, which includes Center fellows and those enrolled in the class of the professor who's leading the question and answer session, according to the school email.
But Blauser said some of the students whose tickets were revoked met that criteria, but also happened to be involved in online discussions about protesting the event.
CNN: Trump Jr. Has Secret Service Protection Again
September 26, 2017, 9:11 AM EDT
After reportedly requesting the removal of Secret Service protection in order to have more privacy, Donald Trump Jr. is being guarded by the agency again, CNN reported Monday evening.
The Secret Service reportedly pushed back on Trump Jr.'s initial request to cut off the service, but eventually approved it. White House adviser Kellyanne Conway's protection ended around the same time as Trump Jr.'s did.
It was not clear what prompted the move to bring back the agency's protection, CNN reported.
The news follows a USA Today report that the agency has become overburdened by the size and lifestyle of the Trump family, which frequently travels around the globe for business and leisure.
In August, the Secret Service director said the agency couldn't pay more than 1,000 of its agents because they had already met their salary and overtime caps for the year.
Hillary Clinton: Kushner Use Of Private Email Accounts Is 'Height Of Hypocrisy'
Calling her use of private email for official business while she was Secretary of State a "dumb mistake" but an even "dumber scandal," former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was smug about news that members of the President's administration used private email accounts for public business.
After President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed throughout the 2016 campaign that Clinton should be put in jail for her private account, Politico reported Sunday that his son-in-law Jared Kushner had a private email account that he used to talk with other White House officials about government business.
Clinton told SiriusXM's Zerlina Maxwell Monday that the news reveals the Trump campaign "knew there was no real basis for their hyperventilating."
"It's just the height of hypocrisy, it is something that if they were sincere about it, I'd think you'd have Republican members of Congress calling for an investigation," she said. "I haven't heard that yet and I don't think we will."
She said the investigation into her emails was "overblown, untrue and really aimed to score political points."
"I take full reasonability for it," she said. "Our country had to go through it, which I regret."
Graham Defends McCain Opposition To Repeal: 'He Can Vote Any Way He Wants'
After President Donald Trump tweeted Monday night attacking Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his opposition to Republican senators' last-ditch effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defended his "dearest friend."
During a CNN debate between Graham and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), both cosponsors of the latest bill, and single payer health care backers Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Graham said McCain has "earned the right" to vote "any way he wants."
He said McCain wants to repeal and replace Obamacare just as much as other Republicans, but he wants to see a bipartisan solution. McCain's opposition doesn't mean he's for "Bernie care," a plan Graham said would "bankrupt the country," be the end of health care "as we know it" and would be the "end of innovation."
"So, Senator McCain is talking about a better process. John, if you're listening, if we fall short, we'll try to have a better process," he said. "So to any American who has a problem with John McCain's vote, all I can tell you is John McCain was willing to die for this country and he can vote anyway he wants to and it doesn't matter to me."
McCain announced his opposition to the measure on Friday, saying he could not vote for it "in good conscience" because of the process and the lack of effort made to find a bipartisan solution to health care.
White House: 'Absurd' To Say We're At War With North Korea
September 25, 2017, 3:01 PM EDT
The White House on Monday firmly pushed back on reports that North Korea's top diplomat thinks that President Donald Trump declared war with his tweet about Kim Jong Un this weekend.
"Not at all, we've not declared war on North Korea and frankly the suggestion of that is absurd," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in response to questions about the reports.
"It's never appropriate for a country to shoot down another country's aircraft when it's over international waters," she said. "Our goal is still the same. We continue to seek the peaceful denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. That's our focus, doing that through both the most maximum economic and diplomatic pressures as possible at this point."
After listening to North Korea Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho speak at the United Nations, Trump warned Saturday that the diplomat "won't be around much longer" if he kept up the same rhetoric as Kim, whom Trump has taken to calling "Rocket Man."
Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!
Ri told reporters Monday that Trump's tweet was a "declaration of war" and that the country has "every right" to "shoot down the United States strategic bombers even they're not yet inside the airspace border of our country," according to the Associated Press.
Cassidy Agrees If They Can't Win Over Susan Collins, Graham-Cassidy Bill Is Dead
Appearing on CNN Monday shortly before the one and only hearing on Republican senator's last-ditch effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) admitted his legislation is dead if Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) doesn't get on board.
"If you lose Susan Collins, it's over, right?" CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Cassidy.
"Yes, it is," he said. "But people in Maine, there will be a billion dollars for Mainers who are lower-income to have coverage, which they do not now have, by the way. Four billion for folks in Virginia. So it's not just Maine."
He also said Collins knows that a "smart governor" who knows insurance as well as she does "could do a heck of a lot to provide coverage for people in Maine," referencing the bill's main focus of converting Obamacare subsidies to block grants that are controlled by states.
Despite indications in the revised text of the bill that money was moved around to try to calm Collins' and Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-AK) fears about the legislation, Cassidy said he is not trying to buy her vote.
"No, absolutely not," he said in response to Blitzer's question. "We're also giving four billion to Virginia. Two senators who, even though its going to be good for their state, they're not going to vote for us, we're giving, I don't know, five billion to Missouri. … All this is an attempt to make sure somebody in Maine, Florida or Missouri have the same resources as someone in Pennsylvania, Ohio or New York. And why shouldn't they?"
Cassidy's comments come after revisions were made to the text late Sunday night in an attempt to get Republican dissenters like Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), as well as Collins and Murkowski on board.
FL Gov's Office Deleted Voicemails From Nursing Home Where 11 Died After Irma
Administrators at a Hollywood, Florida nursing home — where 11 died allegedly due to heat when it lost power after Hurricane Irma — left four voicemails with the governor's office asking for "immediate assistance" 36 hours before the first patient died, CBS Miami reported.
But those voicemails were deleted by the governor's staff, Gov. Rick Scott's office confirmed Sunday.
The information from the messages was collected and distributed to the proper agencies before the voicemails were deleted, a spokesperson for Scott's office said in a statement, according to The Washington Post.
The voicemails left on the governor's cell phone came after the rehabilitation facility made repeated calls to Florida Power and Light when it lost power after Hurricane Irma's landfall, an nursing home official told CBS Miami.
The nursing home was evacuated three days later after five people died due to heat-related health issues, CBS Miami reported. At least six more residents died after the evacuation.
The governor's office claimed every call was returned and someone from the state Department of Health told the nursing home staff to call 911 if anyone was in distress.
"None of this changes the fact that this facility chose not to call 911 or evacuate their patients to the hospital across the street to save lives," a spokesperson told CBS Miami.
After the deaths were reported, Scott stripped the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills of its Medicaid and Medicare funding and suspended its license while the center is under investigation.
Trump: Price's Use Of Private Jets Is 'Different,' 'We're Looking Into It'
President Donald Trump said that Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price's use of private jets for official business travel is "different" than what's been done by other members of his cabinet.
Speaking to reporters Sunday, Trump acknowledged the department's inspector general's probe into Price's use of charter jets, which could have reportedly cost taxpayers at least $300,000 since May.
When asked about Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's use of a private jet to fly from New York to Washington, D.C. in August, Trump said he "didn't think" Mnuchin did that, despite reports investigators are looking into the flight that cost taxpayers $25,000.
"Why don't you check your records before you make a statement. As I understood it – I don't know much about it – I haven't heard about it, but I understand he never took that flight," he said, according to the White House pool report. "As far as Secretary Price is concerned, that's different. We're looking into it."
On Monday afternoon, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders firmed up Trump's comments, saying Price's use of private jets "wasn't White House approved travel" and that all use of private charters has been suspended until the probe is complete.
The HHS inspector general announced Friday it was requesting documents related to Price's travel and his staff's justifications for picking private charter options over commercial flights.
Politico reported last week that Price had taken at least five private charter flights to conduct official business up and down the East Coast this month. These reports prompted five Democratic congressional leaders to write Levinson, requesting an investigation into the matter.
On Thursday, Politico said the agency secretary had used private planes for travel at least 24 times since May, at the cost of at least $300,000.
Trump: Criticism Of Kneeling NFL Players Has Nothing To Do With Race
Appearing to dial back on his criticism from Friday night, in which he called any National Football League player who knelt for the national anthem a "son of a bitch" who should lose his job, President Donald Trump told reporters Sunday that his critiques have "nothing to do with race."
"We have a great country. We have great people representing our country, especially our soldiers, our first responders, and they should be treated with respect," he said. "And when you get on your knee and you don't respect the American flag or the anthem, that's not being treated with respect. … No, this has nothing to do with race. I've never said anything about race."
Since Sunday morning, Trump has tweeted or retweeted thoughts on the topic 10 times, claiming the NFL should "change policy" and not condone players who "do not stand proud for their national anthem or their country." He also retweeted an image that called for a boycott of the NFL.
On Monday morning he applauded NASCAR and its supporters for saying "loud and clear" that they won't disrespect the flag and claiming once again that the issue has nothing to do with race.
So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans. They won't put up with disrespecting our Country or our Flag – they said it loud and clear!
Many people booed the players who kneeled yesterday (which was a small percentage of total). These are fans who demand respect for our Flag!
The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!
The morning after Trump insulted the players who knelt for the anthem and called on owners to fire the protesting players at a rally in Alabama Friday night, the head of the NFL released a statement criticizing the President's "divisive comments."
"Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday.
Despite Friday's comments calling for the firing of players who knelt, Trump back-tracked on Sunday, saying he thinks Goodell can do what he wants.
"Look, he has to take his ideas and go with what he wants. I think it's very disrespectful to our country. I think it's very, very disrespectful to our flag," he told reporters.
More than 100 players sat or knelt during the national anthem on Sunday, while other players, couches and owners locked arms during the song.

Genova Scoprendo (discovering Genoa) is a project generated by the desire to communicate and convey knowledge of the territory and of the cultural and historical heritage of Genoa to its young inhabitants by means of a training itinerary based on the principles of learning by experience and of peer education.
In recent years the training course has been enriched with themes aimed at developing models of fruition and sustainable development of the territory and active and responsible citizenship.
The programme targets Junior Secondary School students and teachers and is organised by Fondazione Edoardo Garrone in association with the Regional Education Board of Liguria and with the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti (Ligurian fine arts academy).
The extremely topical core theme of the project - now essential in the daily routines of citizens, companies, Public Administration and Government Authorities - is sustainable development.
The training course also touches on other themes that fit in well with the school's teaching schedules and the transverse subjects, such as education in active and responsible citizenship, focusing specifically on the volunteer and social commitment-action areas.
Hence, sustainability and responsible citizenship are the common themes running through all the activities and all the school targets that partecipate at Genova Scoprendo. The teacher training stage, the issue of "alternating school and work" and the direct experience in cultural sites and districts are also extremely important.
The teaching approaches to the different stages of the project are the most innovative and in line with the instructions of MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research) and include research-action for workshop learning, peer education and learning by doing.
Indeed, for the historical, artistic and cultural part, the schoolchildren are guided by the students from the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti who explain the origin, history and architecture of Genoa to the younger people.
The project is free-of-charge to Schools for participating classes.

Milan Knížák
Born April 19 1940, Plzeň
Lived in Prague
An action artist, performer, creator of objects, and teacher. Since he dealt with painting, sculpture, architecture, furniture and fashion design, music, literature, and journalism he was known as a multimedia artist. In addition to contemporary art and culture, he commented on other areas of society, including politics.
action art, happening, performance, object, sculpture, painting, installation, design
He grew up in Blovice from where he and his family moved to Mariánské Lázně. Milan Knížák's father was a secondary school teacher of mathematics and art education. The father's activity and creativity in a great many areas, including music, could have significantly influenced his teenage son, who started to become interested in the arts. Knížák's first paintings were strongly influenced by expressionism (Běsnění slunce / Fury of the Sun, 1958).
The book of documents (artist's book)
He joined the Pedagogical College of Prague. However, he was disappointed with his choice of subject
Studied at College of Pedagogic in Prague
(Milan Knížák) (solo exhibition, Mariánské Lázně)
Having completed his military service, he started to experiment with various technological methods of Informel. This intensive stage of his lively canvases was only temporary, and with his typical ease, his work became increasingly simplified, finally resulting in him turning to reality and its translation into fine arts. Knížák created assemblages into which he incorporated various objects and materials that he found. His paintings reflected the influence of American Pop-Art and New Realism. Even though his concise sketches were called portraits they were more like posters. He organized events in which he aimed to dissolve the boundary between arts and life and, by doing so, change human life. He tried to enliven passive spectators by engaging them in the ongoing events. Knížák wanted to free people from prevailing artistic conventions and liberate them from their everyday lives. Good examples of his efforts were the short-term exhibitions (approximating environments) held in front of his house. He confronted audiences with something unexpected in an urban environment. He deliberately used unusual objects. He considered his activities to be vital for the revival of the entire society (Akční dílna na ulici / Action Workshop on a Street, Prague).
Demonstrace objektů / Demonstration of Objects became his eccentric response to the need to exhibit. Due to insufficient space in his small apartment in Nový Svět, he created his works on the street in front of the building (Seance/ Séance, Prague
Studied at Academy of Fine Arts in Prague
(Milan Knížák) (solo exhibition, Prague)
He depicted hanging trousers or trousers placed over a back rest as monochromatic sculptures. He also made sculptures of a chair and a table. První manifestace Aktuálního umění / The First Manifestation of Aktual Art in Prague was the first of a number of his demonstrations which were carried out on the streets of Prague (Individuální demonstrace / Individual Demonstration, Totální demonstrace / Total Demonstration, Aktuální procházka po Novém Světě – Demonstrace pro všechny smysly / Aktual walk through Nový Svět - Demonstration for all the senses). One of his most significant demonstrations was the Demonstrace jednoho / Demonstration of One. The artist became a witch-doctor using a special costume and had the people of Prague experience something extraordinary during his performance which approximated a ritual. Knížák equated the role of artist to that of a god or a wizard. He tried to set people free from their standard way of life. He attacked their senses. His activities took various forms
He joined the Association of Czechoslovak Visual Artists. In the 1960's he did a number of jobs

He dealt with activities which were playful and unprejudiced. He gave instructions which encouraged creativity, similar to children's games and rituals. (In the Procházka Prahou / Walk in Prague action people were to walk on the perimeter of a drawn circle). Conceptual art influenced his thinking as it did in the west.
The Klub Aktual / Aktual Club was established and it built on the ideas of the Aktual Art group. The former members were joined by Robert Wittmann, who drew attention to himself with the Výstava skutečností ulice / Exhibition of Street Actualities (1966) which was reminiscent of Vladimír Boudník's street actions. Similar to Boudník some years before, Wittmann hung empty frames on peeling walls and encouraged passers-by to develop their creativity. Milan Knížák was one of the few action artists who kept in touch with artists from the west. For example he exchanged various works of art through his correspondence with George Maciunas, the founder of the Fluxus Group. Since his activities and thinking were similar to those of foreign artists, he later became a member of the Fluxus Group (George Maciunas appointed him the director of Fluxus East). The movement, as well as Knížák and the Aktual Club, tried to change the world and dissolve the restrictive boundaries between art and life. They were also well-known for organizing festivals and it was thanks to Knížák that one was held in Prague in 1966. Milana Knížák's activities were under the continuous surveillance of the State Security Police, even during the festival. His name was on the register of "enemies of the socialist regime." He was repeatedly in conflict with the political powers, he was often interrogated and temporarily arrested.
After his forced departure from Prague, Knížák settled in Krásná near Mariánské Lázně and, at the urging of his friends, he founded the Aktual music band. He wrote his own music without any profound knowledge of the global music of that time. He also had to take into account the inexperience of some members of his band with whom he struggled during rehearsals. Apart from regular instruments, they also produced music with violins, sirens, drills and a motorcycle as accompaniment. The distinctive live performances and texts parodying the experienced reality as well as themselves in a jumble of various sounds resulted in problems for them in acquiring permission for concerts, even in the most liberal year of 1968.
He was invited to stay with George Maciunas in the U.S.A. He received the invitation as early as 1966 but it took him two years to be granted a passport and to leave for the U.S.A. During his stay in the USA, he organized events and gave lectures at universities (Rudgers University NY, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY., University in Los Angeles where he established the Elephant Work Company). He experienced a totally different life-style. He communicated his feelings about his stay in letters to Jindřich Chalupecký. From then on, his performances had the nature of personal rituals. Their implementation took place inside individual participants (Ležící obřad/Laying Rite, 1968, USA).
Aktual (photography)
On his return from the USA, he continued his activities in Aktual (for example Kamenný obřad / Stone Rite in a quarry near to Mariánské Lázně in 1971) until 1973. Not only were his artistic activities under the continuous surveillance of the authorities, they were also misunderstood by other people. His actions became more abstract over the course of time and most of them were only intended to be implemented in the viewer's own mind. The social tendency runs through his works like a red line. He always tried to change and improve human life through art.
Since he could not give public exhibitions, he expressed his ideas in a number of other areas: fashion designs like psychological jewels or invisible clothes. They were later replaced by contemplations on invisible architecture which he summarized in the Sny o architektuře / Dreams about Architecture (1962–1975) and the Pokus o nesoustavný úvod do nehmotné architektury / Attempted unsystematic introduction to immaterial architecture (1970–1985) papers, which supported his utopian visions and a change in the traditional understanding of architecture (for example in the Města v poušti / Cities in Desert project). Instead of musical performances with the Aktual Group, he dealt with more modest musical experiments (music on the mind). He changed sheet music in order to open classical compositions to new understandings and approaches which examined the process of their creation. He also dealt with broken music and the destruction of gramophone records. Music was then played from their destroyed and eroded surfaces (issued under the name of Broken Music, Milan, 1979).

He became fascinated by the rituality of a stone. He decided to involve found stones in his rituals. It was documented by the artist's ritual of getting to know a particular stone called Poznávání kamene /Familiarization with a Stone. His familiarization activities also dealt, for example, with air. In 1977–1980, he carried out the Přátelství se stromem / Friendship with a Tree rite.
Received award from Jiří Kolář Prize
In the early 1980's, his ideas about architecture, furniture, and fashion attained particular dimensions and were placed in particular environments. Paintings returned to the scene in order to support such ideas

During his stay in West Germany (1982–1983 Worpswede, 1985 Bleckede, 1988 West Berlin [DAAD], 1989 Preunschen), he created installations and exhibitions for particular premises in the spirit of Gesamtkunswerk, which also involved action and entertainment. The use of the artist's clothes, jewellery, and other accessories in the form of a fashion show alternated with exhibitions and the playing of broken music. He documented the actions from the 1960's using traces of what had been preserved. He created artifacts in the form of books, using concrete, wood, and iron.

Partituren sind Handlungsweisen... (group exhibition, Bochum)
He published collections of poems in Czech and English in which he could use freedom of expression.
He responded to postmodernism by his deliberate choice of large-scale canvases for his paintings and by simplifying his brushwork in an effort to trivialize the expression. Later, he also introduced a story. The emphasis on colours and freedom of the artist's gesture made his canvases into a painted performance. Paintings became the materialization of his mind collages and unusual connections (Zmatené obrazy / Confused Paintings, Počítačové obrazy / Computer Paintings).

This Assessment aims to provide an action agenda for MDG acceleration by reviewing progress thus far and identifying the strategies, policies and interventions for further acceleration. The information is collected from a sample of 50 country reports, including MDG documentation from other sources. It begins with a discussion of the inter-linkages across the MDGs, and then (a) provides an overview of key MDG achievements and gaps at the global, regional and country levels, (b) discusses emerging constraints, which have undermined and, in some cases, reversed MDG progress, (c) outlines possible strategies and policies for accelerating and sustaining MDG progress in the coming years, (d) identifies the progress made in the global partnership, (e) proposes an Action Agenda for the years between now and 2015. Progress made in water and sanitation is also covered by this report.

Even the most defensive motorcyclists can experience an accident. With traffic congestion increasing in many cities and distracted driving on the rise, all it takes is a lapse in concentration from one motorist for a catastrophe to occur. Because motorcycles lack many of the protections of a car, truck, or SUV, the rider often bears the brunt of a crash, suffering severe injuries and extensive property damage.
Motorcycle accident injuries often include head trauma, broken bones, and neck and other spinal injuries. Extensive and costly medical care often follows a crash. Sometimes, even with months or years of rehabilitation, the rider never fully recovers.
Even with a full recovery, the psychological trauma from a motorcycle accident often does not go away easily. The rider might have flashbacks to the event or develop an extreme fear of getting back on a motorcycle, causing them to cease an activity that once gave them enjoyment.
The attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC focus on personal injury law, helping motorcycle accident victims receive the compensation they deserve after a crash. If you were in an accident, we want to help you put your life back together. We offer free initial consultations to new clients, and we do not collect a fee until we recover money for you. To schedule an appointment with a motorcycle accident lawyer in Middletown, call our office today at 215-642-2335.
Who Is Responsible for My Motorcycle Accident Injuries?
Opened a car door into a motorcycle's path.
Sometimes, a party other than a motorist is partly or fully at fault for an accident. For instance, a state or municipal government might fail to maintain safe road conditions or a vehicle or part manufacturer might install a defective component on a car or motorcycle.
Regardless of who the responsible party or parties are in your crash, we gather the evidence we need to build a strong case against them, helping to ensure that you receive the fair compensation you deserve. To set up your free consultation with one of our motorcycle accident attorneys in Middletown, PA, call us today.
What Damages Can I Recover After a Motorcycle Accident in Middletown?
If someone else was responsible for your motorcycle accident, you might be eligible to receive several types of compensation. This money would cover your economic and non-economic losses.
If your loved one lost their life in a motorcycle accident, we can pursue a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. In extreme cases where the responsible party's actions constituted reckless or malicious behavior, we can seek punitive damages. A court awards this type of compensation on top of all other damages for which you are eligible. Punitive damages punish the responsible party for their actions.
Pennsylvania law does not require motorcyclists to wear a helmet unless they are under 21 years old or lack two years of riding experience. Riders of three-wheeled motorcycles are exempt from wearing a helmet regardless of age or experience level.
That said, failing to wear a helmet can present additional challenges when trying to recover damages from the responsible party in a motorcycle accident. The responsible party and their attorney will probably claim that your lack of helmet made your injuries worse than they otherwise would have been, so you bear some of the liability for your damages.
Our attorneys can anticipate such a challenge and build a strong case that helps you recover the largest settlement possible in your case.
Do Not Speak With the Insurance Company Without Speaking to Us First.
In the case of many motorcycle accidents, recovering compensation requires dealing with one or more party's insurance company. This process is fraught with challenges. Despite what TV commercials might lead you to believe, insurance companies do not always have accident victims' best interests at heart.
If another party caused your motorcycle accident and the fault was obvious, you might get a call from their insurance company in the days following the crash. Chances are, the insurer will offer you a fast settlement and make it look attractive by emphasizing how quickly you can get paid. If you are anticipating costly medical bills or you have to miss work and are not getting a regular paycheck, the allure of a quick settlement can be tempting.
However, if you accept the initial offer the insurance company puts in front of you, you almost always end up forfeiting money that should be yours. That is why you should never accept an insurance company's call before speaking with one of our motorcycle accident attorneys. We can deal with the insurance company on your behalf, helping you get paid the full compensation you deserve as quickly as possible.
You Can Count on Cordisco & Saile LLC to Help You With Your Motorcycle Accident Claim.
Since motorcycle accidents often involve severe injuries and extensive property damage, thousands of dollars could be at stake in your case. That means your choice of legal representation matters a great deal. At Cordisco & Saile LLC, our legal team focuses on helping motorcycle accident victims recover the compensation they deserve after a crash. We have helped many victims win fair compensation, and we want to put our extensive resources to work for you. For a free consultation and case review, call us today at 215-642-2335.

Regarding the sequel to the movie "Prometheus" released in 2012, Director Ridley Scott in an interview received in September 2015The title is not "Prometheus 2" but "Alien: Paradise Lost (Aliens: Paradise · Lost)"It was revealed.
"Prometheus" did not contain elements of "alien" in the title, but the content was a work depicting the event before the movie "alien" released in 1979, definitely a work of the "alien" series. There will be many fans who were pleased to know that "aliens" will revive in the title again.
However, this title seems to be changed, and in a dialog with Scott Fondas, I revealed that the title of the latest work is "Alien: Covenant". The shooting is scheduled to begin in February 2016. According to the initial information, the disclosure was on May 30, 2017, but according to the 20th century FOX formula, it is expected to be released on June 10, 2017.

My experience with Julie was amazing. To begin with she listened to all of my fears and expectations when it came to giving birth. She took those to heart and reassured me that my birth would be something that I would always treasure. On the day she was in constant contact with me and was ready to go when it was time to start the hospital experience. She worked tirelessly (and we were tired) throughout my entire birth. She had so many tricks and techniques that we used during the birth that helped me through the hours. When it came time to push she got the most incredible photos of that incredible moment when my daughter entered the world. I could have given birth without Julie but after the experience I would never want to! Thanks Julie and God bless.

Celarity Honored as One of the Best Places to Work in 2021, A Glassdoor Employee's Choice Award Winner
BLOOMINGTON, MN (January 13, 2021) – Celarity has been honored with a Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award in the U.S. small and medium company category, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2021. The Employees' Choice Award, now in its 13th year, is based solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide anonymous feedback by completing a company review about their job, work environment, and employer on Glassdoor, the worldwide leader on insights about jobs and companies.
"For us, it's about creating happy careers. Sometimes by meaningful connections, training or benefits, but it's always putting people first," said winning company Co-CEO John Arnold.
"COVID-19 is in the driver's seat, and every employer has been impacted. This year's winning employers have proven, according to employees, that even during extraordinary times, they'll rise to the challenge to support their people," said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor chief executive officer. "A mission-driven culture, transparent leadership, and career opportunities are always hallmarks of Best Places to Work winners. This year, we also see exceptional employers who have prioritized their employees' health, safety, and well-being. My congratulations go to all of this year's outstanding Employees' Choice Award winners."
On Glassdoor, current and former employees voluntarily and anonymously share insights and opinions about their work environments by sharing a company review, designed to capture a genuine and authentic inside look at what a specific job may be like at a particular company. When sharing a company review on Glassdoor, employees are asked to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, senior management, and work/life balance. In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as well as any downsides.
Glassdoor's Best Places to Work were determined using company reviews shared by U.S.-based employees between October 22, 2019, and October 19, 2020. To be considered for the U.S. small and medium company category, a company must have had fewer than 1,000 employees and have received at least 30 ratings across each of the eight workplace attributes (overall company rating, career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, senior management, work-life balance, recommend to a friend and six-month business outlook) from U.S.-based employees during the period of eligibility. The final list is compiled using Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm, led by its Economic Research Team, and takes into account the quantity, quality, and consistency of reviews. Complete awards methodology can be found here: https://www.glassdoor.com/Award/index.htm

One of the greatest gifts teachers can give to their students is a life-long love of learning. Although the educational pendulum is swinging strongly toward making education more uniform, early childhood teachers must remember that children are not uniform. Children's interests differ widely depending on their own experiences. Meeting the learning needs of each child demands the full, and creative, attention of a teacher's mind and heart.
The Project Approach offers teachers a way to build their curriculum on the natural curiosity of children. When immersed in a topic that is local and relevant, students actively participate in the educational experience. This kind of authentic learning energizes the child as they "become part of a community of investigators" instead of a passive recipient of information.

Victoria Fringe Festival 2013 – my "away" picks
August 24, 2013 By @lacouvee Leave a Comment
I'm a bit of a Fringe fanatic, seeing between 30 and 40 shows in any given year. For my "away" picks, I rely heavily on research, knowledge of past performances, and a network of fellow-Fringers (including Ottawa's Brian M Carroll who has greatly informed this year's picks).
As always though, I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, and take chances on shows you might not normally see – don't depend only on my picks; my tastes might not be yours. I've listed the shows as they appear in the printed Fringe program, by venue.
Venue 1, Victoria Event Centre, 1415 Broad Street
Assassinating Thomson, Bruce Horak, Monster Theatre
Winner of Outstanding Concept at the Ottawa Fringe, and highly recommended by my fellow Fringe-fanatic, Brian M Carroll. Horak is well-known for his previous show "This is Cancer" presented by Intrepid Theatre in 2009.
Critically acclaimed Visually Impaired visual artist Bruce Horak lives with 9% of his vision and has, over the last two years, painted a series of over 400 unique portraits which attempt to capture the way that he sees, aptly named The Way I See It.
The Birdmann in Momentous Timing
"Hitchock Meets the Muppets", as described by the Birdmann himself, or, as I like to say "If Vaudeville and the circus side-show had a baby, it would be The Birdmann". After last night's opening night, you can now add "burlesque" to the above description.
Pick of the Fringe at the Victoria Fringe in 2011 and a triumphant return to UnoFest in 2012 prove his wide-ranging appeal. Expect dry one-liners, cheesy jokes, and some incredible juggling of unusual or even downright weird objects. The Birdmann ranks high of the Fringy metre. His popular show sells out. Get tickets early.
Venue 2, Downtown Activity Centre, 755 Pandora Avenue
Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter
Alison Wearing has a novel approach to marketing her book – she's doing a Fringe tour. A 2011 Pick of the Fringe for her previous show Giving Into Light, Wearing is a kinetic and captivating storyteller. Her tale of growing up with a gay dad in the 1980s has already garnered significant attention.
Best of Fest: Stratford Springworks Festival, Wakefield Fringe Patron's Pick, Winnipeg Fringe 2013
Richard Tyrone Jones's Big Heart
Ah, the power of the Fringe Preview night. This show wasn't even on my radar screen, but who can argue with "medical comedy poetry" and a powerful spoken word presentation. Jones recounts the story of heart failure on his 30th birthday through cardiomyopoetry, anecdosage (and jokes). The show has since become a BBC Radio 4 mini-series.
Venue 3, Metro Studio, 1411 Quadra Street
The Twelfth Night in KABUKI Style, Ryuzanji Company – Rakujuku
Japanese company Ryuzanji presented "Hanafuda Denki" at last year's Fringe. It was one of my top theatre (not just Fringe) experiences of 2012. They return this year with their senior company, Rakujuku, a group of actors whose average age is 61. Most of them only began acting in their 50s.
A cast member messaged me to say "Though our "Twelfth Night" is acted in Japanese style, the story is mostly based on the original, so it wouldn't be hard to understand the story. I hope you'll enjoy Japanese names called in a Shakespeare play and also, some of the Japanese music." I expect that this show, like last year's, will sell out.
Venue 4, VCM Wood Hall, 907 Pandora Avenue Melody Moore, Stumblebum Productions
Partnering with fellow Fringe performers to promote your show (always one of my recommendations) does work.
Actor Richard Hanna was not able to be at this year's Fringe preview, but received a shout-out from Shoshinz (Little Miss Hiccup). I paid attention and attended his show on opening night. The crowd was appreciable.
This historical drama set to beautiful, lyrical harp music, is truly a solo tour-de-force. Hanna created over 12 characters in this tale of Irish poet and patriot Thomas Moore. I learned about an unknown era, and closed my eyes to the lilting ballads, carried away to green hills and cliffs. If you have any Irish connection at all, love the harp, or appreciate a fully-fledged production, you will want to see Melody Moore.
Best of Fest, Calgary Fringe 2013. Best Male Performer, Atlantic Fringe 2012.
Venue 5, Langham Court Theatre, 805 Langham Court
Fools for Love, Small Matters Productions
In today's environment, artists can use all available means to connect with their audience, and for Christine Lesiak of Small Matters Productions, it meant finding Fringe fans via Facebook and Twitter (which is where we connected). Fools for Love promises adult physical comedy, and hilarious clowning. I'm in!
Best of Fest, Winnipeg Fringe 2012 Official Holdover (offered to the most popular shows) Edmonton Fringe 2013
Promise and Promiscuity:A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton
I'm a fan of Jane Austen, and of mash-ups. Penny Ashton promises both with a historical, musical comedy. Highly recommended by fellow Ottawa-based Fringe fan, Brian M Carroll, who says
This show was a triumph for Penny Ashton at the Winnipeg Fringe. Her combination of Jane Austen plot with her own double entendres brought big audiences from day one. The popular show won a Festival Patrons' Pick award as well as CBC Manitoba's Outstanding Out-of-Town Production.
Best Performer, Auckland Fringe 2013 Patrons' Pick, Winnipeg Fringe 2013
Venue 6, Fairfield Hall,1303 Fairfield Road
2 for Tea, Life & Depth Adding to sold-out runs in multiple Canadian Fringe cities, followed by Patrons' Picks at each of them, 2 for Tea arrived to a sold-out first show at this year's Victoria Fringe. Surreal physical comedy will have you tittering from the get-go. Imagine an expanded Mad Hatter's Tea Party à la Alice in Wonderland, and you'll have a glimpse of what awaits you.
Never have I seen actors incorporate audience participation so successfully into the arc of a story. Bravo!
Bring a tea cup.
Patron's Pick in London, Toronto, & Winnipeg Most Memorable Performance, 13th Hour Award, Montreal Just for Laughs, Best Comedy Award nominee Centaur Theatre, Best English Production Award nominee
Bursting into Flames, by Martin Dockery
Dockery arrived on the Fringe circuit in 2009 with Wunderlust, a masterful display of storytelling. Based on my memories of this show alone (from the 2010 Victoria Fringe), I'll be attending Bursting into Flames. A winner of multiple awards for all his shows at many fringe and solo festivals.
The gonzo tale of a darkly hilarious romp through the afterlife.Told in Dockery's unique storytelling style, Bursting Into Flames is the story of one man's tenuous grasp on reality as he endures an eternity of paradise in Heaven.
La Cravate bleue, Jean-François Plante-Tan
A musical monologue entirely in French. Plante-Tan has toured the Canadian Fringe circuit this summer as the only French act outside the Montreal Fringe. He promises you can follow the story even if you don't speak French.
The protagonist swaps his computer keyboard for a piano, and embarks on a creative and spiritual journey. Suitable for a general audience, exploring a universal experience:the choices and sacrifices we make for the things we love doing and the people we love.
The Pit, Concrete Drops
Created by Martin Dockery with Vanessa Quesnelle (last year's Abyss at the Victoria Fringe), this is a surreal send-up of domestic bliss. I expect sparks! Patron's Pick, Winnipeg Fringe 2013
Venue 7, St Ann's Academy, 835 Humboldt
A Day in the Life of Miss Hiccup
One of my favourite performers returns! Appealing to our inner child, and suitable for kids of all ages, follow this wacky and wonderful clown on her daily adventures. A funny and physical show. Kids under 6 free!
Director's Award, Capital Fringe 2012 Audience Choice, Frigid NY 2013 Best International Show, Orlando Fringe 2013
Forget Me Not, Rob Gee
Another very popular performer, spoken word artist Rob Gee has taken his former life as a psychiatric nurse and turned it into side-splitting tales (Fruit Cake, SmartArse) for our viewing pleasure. I expect no less from Forget Me Not. He's what Brian M Carroll has to say about the show.
Rob Gee's second in his psychiatric nursing trilogy is his best show yet. Lots of sellouts at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, resulting in a Patrons' Pick. The performance poetry is there, but now it serves a plot with an arc: a murder mystery set in an Alzheimer's ward. One of the detectives has incipient Alzheimer's, and he knows it. A humourous, clever, and highly sympathetic look at a condition that some of us will face in our future. "Forget Me Not is by turns sad and funny, and just plain fun. This one-man triumph is equal parts mystery, comedy, storytelling, social commentary — and 100 per cent entertaining." Janice Sawka, Winnipeg Free Press. "the best way to draw attention to an issue is make it as funny -and heartbreaking – as hell." Sara Tate, CBC Manitoba
Patron's Pick, Winnipeg Fringe 2013
The Big Bang Query: A Dirk Darrow Investigation, Tim Motley Last year's show (Dirk Darrow: NCSSI) was a phenomenal display of prestidigitation and magic, remarkable for performer Tim Motley's ability to coax the most obstreperous audience member I've ever seen into submission. He's back with a new stand-alone prequel. Extremely popular with sell-outs for last year's run, I anticipate more of the same this year.
I really enjoyed Dirk Darrow's new show – he channels Phillip T Marlowe, and every film noir you've ever seen with some incredible prestidigitation, mentalism and cheesy one-liners. Add to that, the fact he had me truly flummoxed at his feats of prescience.

Three Michigan officials were charged in connection with the Flint water crisis on Wednesday, just a day after a federal judge threw out a $150 million class-action lawsuit over the lead-contaminated water, claiming the courts lack jurisdiction.
Update: Calling the charges "deeply troubling" and "extremely serious," Gov. Rick Snyder said the suspected state officials were suspended without pay.
Criminal charges were filed against two officials from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and one individual from the Flint water treatment plant, the Detroit News reported. The charges all stem from the lead contamination of water in Flint, which occurred after the city tapped the corrosive Flint River as a drinking supply and failed to properly treat the water.
MDEQ district engineer Michael Prysby was hit with six charges, including misconduct in office, tampering with evidence, conspiracy to tamper with evidence, and engaging in treatment violations, Detroit Free Press reporter Elisha Anderson tweeted.
Michael Glasgow, who worked as Flint's water quality supervisor, faces two charges, including tampering with evidence and willful neglect of duty as a public servant. Glasgow was in charge of making sure the water sampling process in Flint complied with federal law under the Lead and Copper Rule. He confirmed that all homes sampled had their water delivered via lead service lines even though that was not the case.
"This is a case where, hopefully, the accused misconduct of a handful will not create issues with tens of thousands of good, hardworking people doing the right thing to make Michigan a better state," Snyder added.
Since the water from the Flint River was not properly treated, it leached away lead from service lines in the city and became contaminated, exposing the population to poisoned water.
Notably, more charges against other individuals are expected as the investigation by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette unfolds.
The charges come one day after a federal judge dismissed a class-action lawsuit over the contaminated water, potentially signaling that other similar lawsuits at the federal level could be dismissed as well.
In his ruling on Tuesday, US District Judge John Corbett O'Meara said that in order for federal courts to have jurisdiction over the case, the plaintiffs needed to make claims of wrongdoing under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) – something they did not do because the law does not allow for those harmed to seek damages.
The judge said that the core constitutional claim the plaintiffs alleged is that they were deprived of "safe and potable water," which is addressed by regulations that have been established by the Environmental Protection Agency under the SDWA.
"Because plaintiffs... have not asserted a claim under the SDWA, only state claims remain. Accordingly, the court finds that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over [the] plaintiffs' complaint," O'Meara wrote in his dismissal.
In their lawsuit filed on January 31, the plaintiffs claimed that their constitutional rights were violated and sought $150 million in damages for Flint residents who paid water bills throughout the crisis. They argued that while they paid these bills, the city of Flint and the state of Michigan provided water with "dangerous levels of lead" in it. It also wanted all damaged water lines to be replaced.
The lawsuit named a variety of players in the crisis, including Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, former state-appointed emergency managers of Flint Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose, former Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, and state regulatory agencies.
Flint attorney Valdemar Washington told AP that the lawsuit was not filed under the SDWA because that law only allows plaintiffs to seek injunctive relief, which could force the state to stop providing contaminated water but would not award damages to residents.
Washington said that the lawsuit would be re-filed in Michigan circuit court or the Michigan Court of Claims.
While this case is destined for state courts, the question remains whether other federal lawsuits over the crisis will also be dismissed. In the case that was dismissed, the claims centered on monetary harm for residents who paid water bills. A lawsuit filed in November, however, targets those who made the original decision to leave the Detroit water system, which complied with EPA safety regulations, and tap the Flint River as a drinking supply. The plaintiffs in that case allege city and state officials violated their constitutional, civil, and due process rights.
"In our case, the focus is on the egregious government conduct which deprived our clients of their rights without due process. Our case is all about the unlawful deprivation of rights without due process," attorney Michael Pitt told the Detroit News. Because of that, Pitt believes the SDWA won't stop his case from moving forward.

Probably the most important thing to remember is that dried herbs are much stronger than fresh herbs because the chemicals responsible for the flavor have been concentrated by the drying process. As a rough estimate, one teaspoon of dried, crushed herbs… or 1/4 teaspoon of an herb that has been dried and powdered… are about equivalent to two to three teaspoons of fresh herbs.
For the most flavor when using fresh herbs, chop the leaves very finely. Since every cut in the leaf releases the flavor chemicals, more cuts mean more flavor. I usually use a sharp knife to chop the herbs, but when I am in a hurry I reach for the kitchen shears, hold the herb leaves in a bunch, and cut off tiny pieces. Both methods work well, so use whichever one you are most comfortable with.
The decorative spice rack or the cabinet above the kitchen stove are NOT the best places to store your herbs. Heat, light, and exposure to the air will make the aromatic oils in the herbs evaporate, which will cause their flavors to fade. Herbs will last much longer if they are stored in a cool, dry, dark place in airtight containers (NOT in cardboard boxes)… and even longer if they are stored in the freezer. The refrigerator is not a good storage choice, though, because the humidity in a refrigerator is too high.
Drying herbs is even easier. A dehydrator works well, but I usually just put the washed and dried herb (stems and all) in a lunch-type small paper bag. The herbs will dry without further attention in an upper cabinet or other dry place. Once the leaves have dried completely (check if they will crumble easily), I strip them off the stem and store the dried leaves in airtight containers. (I use commercial herb containers I have washed and saved for this purpose.) I do not crush the leaves any more than I have to to get them into the container because the flavor will be stronger if I wait to crush the leaves just before I use them.
Not all commercially-sold herbs and spices are equally flavorful. Sometimes herbs sold in bulk may not be as good a choice as smaller quantities because of the freshness factor, or for anyone with an allergy concerned about cross contamination. Stored properly, whole herbs and spices can last for three to five years, ground herbs and spices for up to a year. If you are in doubt about the herb's freshness, take a pinch and crush it between your fingers. The aroma should be strong.
I am currently moving away from the brand of spices and herbs that I have cooked and baked with for years because whatever is now in some of them is suddenly causing me to have severe soy allergic reactions. As I have mentioned before, although some manufacturers reluctantly admit to using binders (obviously the soy source)… the binders are not stated on their ingredient lists. Luckily, none of the herbs and spices I have purchased recently have caused me to have any allergic reactions at all. What a relief, because I was getting rather desperate thinking we were in for some bland food! An additional pleasant surprise is that the new products have been far superior in flavor and strength to the more famous brand I was buying previously. I prefer the small metal containers that many herbs and spices come in, and I'm finding the prices of the small containers are low enough to be competitive with the larger containers I used to buy.
And as a second part to that: Growing most herbs is so easy it is almost criminal! Basil will take a licking and keep on ticking, thyme grows even in the hottest and dryest of pots, tarragon will come back year after year in most places and parsley will do the same if the seeds are allowed to fall.
One sure way of knowing if an herb is pure is to grow it yourself.
what a timely post! i was just wondering about this issue this very morning. we are fortunate recipients of sometimes relatively large quantities of fresh herbs… and i hadn't a clue how to preserve them.
I didn't realize 1/4 teaspoon of dried herbs is equal to about 1 teaspoon of fresh, it's good to know as I mostly used dried but some of my recipes call for fresh. Glad to hear that you are happy with your spices and herbs and that you haven't had any allergic reactions.
I've been reading your blog for awhile now, really enjoying your articles as I'm interested in living with simplicity too.
We grow, dry, store our own herbs, I love the idea of making my own seasoning mixes, thanks!!!! Do you make your own herbal teas?
Amanda, I'm all over the place with brands, but I have found that some of the smaller brands have some very clearly labeled spices. Some are soy-free, some are not, but the ingredients ARE on the label.
I have gotten in the habit of calling the companies and really pressing them to tell me if a certain herb or spice has any possible soy. It takes time but saves a lot of problems.
