Devils on the clock with No. 1 pick in NHL draft
Noah Ferguson | 23 June, 2017, 17:02
That transition to the desert will be easier for some Golden Knights: Deryk Engelland has lived in Las Vegas in the off-season for a decade.
The Vegas Golden Knights stockpiled draft picks while also revealing the names of the first 17 players who will likely be part of their inaugural squad at Wednesday night's 2017 awards show and expansion draft at the T-Mobile Center. "I'll give it everything I've got to win some games and try to get into the community to meet people and spread the word about the Golden Knights". It remains to be seen what happens with Washington's Nate Schmidt, Ottawa's Marc Methot, Chicago's Trevor van Riemsdyk and San Jose's David Schlemko, any of whom could be traded as soon as Thursday. I was a fan of Neal throughout his time in Nashville, it just felt like he wasn't as important to the team as someone like Filip Forsberg or Victor Arvidsson who are very influential even if they aren't scoring goals game after game.
Fleury, 32, was Pittsburgh's No. 1 selection in the 2003 NHL Draft.
Vegas was required to select one player from each of the existing 30 teams and had to take at least 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goalies.
The players who have already arrived in Vegas realize that although they're starting over, they aren't starting from scratch. With three of the first 13 picks in this weekend's draft, it's about the players they hope to add in the future. "David Perron is one of those guys", NBC analyst Pierre McGuire said. They also will have extra picks in the second, fifth and sixth rounds.
The other 30 teams protected either seven forwards, three defensemen and a goaltender, or eight skaters and a goalie.
It took his current roster to 37 players, surprisingly only now fit with three goalies.
Here's a fun party game: How many of these players will be with this franchise the first time it makes the playoffs?
One for sure will be Fleury, who arrived in Pittsburgh as the first overall pick of the 2003 National Hockey League entry draft, and helped turn a rebuilding Penguins' team into one that eventually won three Stanley Cups in his time with the club.
For example, the Islanders gave up a 1st round pick, a 2nd round pick and two players so that the Golden Knights wouldn't take Brock Nelson, Josh Bailey or Calvin de Haan from their roster. Emelin has been with Montreal for the past five seasons, while Methot has spent the last five years with the Senators as the longtime defensive partner of Norris Trophy finalist Erik Karlsson.
In 1999, the Atlanta Thrashers selected 26 players in the expansion draft. If he is able to acclimate quickly to the National Hockey League, the 30-year-old could be the next Alexander Radulov or Artemi Panarin. Grabovski, also 33, has one year and $5 million remaining on his contract and has not played since 2015-16 because of a concussion.
"With Sid and Geno in Pittsburgh, Fleury wasn't as much of a focal point, but he still was a huge part of that organization, a big face there", said Engelland, a former Penguins teammate. For it to finally happen, it's awesome.
In constructing protection rules for this expansion draft, the National Hockey League hoped Vegas might boast a relatively formidable initial roster. The Vegas Golden Knights picked Marchessault in the expansion draft Wednesday, June 21, 2017.
Quality goaltending was key to those clubs and Fleury should offer something similar to the Knights. The Canadiens desperately need a blue-liner after dealing Nathan Beaulieu and prospect Mikhail Sergachev, but shedding Emelin's $4.1 million cap hit will help the team acquire someone through trade or free agency this offseason.
In three years with the Predators, Neal scored a total of 77 goals, averaging 45 points in each season. McPhee and Foley announced each pick while sitting at a table on stage at the award ceremony.
Cody Eakin was next up from the Dallas Stars.

Because President Donald Trump has been so forthright about his belief that the U.S. attorney general should serve to protect him, his nomination of William Barr to head up the Justice Department terrified many political observers.
But despite the fact that there were a slew of disturbing elements of Barr's confirmation hearing on Tuesday, there were also some indications that he may, at some point, be willing to stand up to Trump.
Conservative writer Jennifer Rubin agreed — noting that Burr's analysis applied to one of the inciting incidents to Mueller's appointment.
According to former FBI Director James Comey, Trump asked him to drop the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn has since pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, was implicated in another federal case, and has cooperated extensively with Mueller and other investigators.
Trump has denied asking Comey to drop the Flynn case but also said that if he had made the request, he wouldn't have done anything wrong. Barr, it seems, disagrees — in his view, it would appear to constitute an impeachable offense. Likewise, Trump's decision to later fire Comey (as well as Jeff Sessions) because of the Russia investigation would also be an impeachable offense.
It's not clear if Barr would agree with any of this substantive analysis, but it follows directly from his professed view. This view would also make it difficult for him to defend the president if Trump were to take steps that many fear he will as Mueller closes in — such as, for example, pardoning his children or family members should they be indicted.

Scott Warden is a man haunted by the past--and soon to be haunted by the future. In early-twenty-first-century Thailand, Scott is an expatriate slacker. Then, one day, he inadvertently witnesses an impossible event: the violent appearance of a 200-foot stone pillar in the forested interior. Its arrival collapses trees for a quarter mile around its base, freezing ice out of the air and emitting a burst of ionizing radiation. It appears to be composed of an exotic form of matter. And the inscription chiseled into it commemorates a military victory--sixteen years in the future.Shortly afterwards, another, larger pillar arrives in the center of Bangkok--obliterating the city and killing thousands. Over the next several years, human society is transformed by these mysterious arrivals from, seemingly, our own near future. Who is the warlord "Kuin" whose victories they note? Scott wants only to rebuild his life. But some strange loop of causality keeps drawing him in, to the central mystery and a final battle with the future.The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson is a 2002 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel and the winner of the 2002 John W. Campbell Memorial Award. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.


Tuition for University of Montana students could skyrocket by up to 23 percent, should budget projections hold true for the University system from the state legislature.
Associate Commissioner of Higher Education, Kevin McRae. said like all state agencies, the university system is facing a budget challenge.
"As of today, the university system's budget is looking at about a $23 million hole for the next two years," McRae said. "If the budget were to pass today, the system would have a $23 million reduction, which would create a lot of pressure to continue current levels of educational services."
McRae outlined two possible scenarios if the budget picture fails to improve.
"The bottom line is this," he said. "If resident tuition payers were to fill that hole themselves, they would be facing a possible tuition increase of about 23 percent this year, with another increase of an indeterminable amount in the following year. In the second scenario, if we didn't make up the $23 million in tuition, we would have to be looking at making $23 million in cuts to educational programs which would significantly reduce the opportunities for students. Or, we could be looking at a possible combination of the two options."
McRae said legislators will be working hard to restore as much of the $23 million as possible.

This Black Lesbian Judge Refused To Perform Straight Marriages, No Jail Time – No Media Outrage
Blaze and Spitfire AMERICA'S FREEDOM FIGHTERS –
I was scrolling through my news feed this afternoon and ran across this bit of hypocrisy. I'm not sure how many will remember this case because it certainly wasn't a national headline, but I thought it was definitely something worth mentioning. Our story takes us back to 2012 where an openly gay judge refused to issue marriage licenses, sound familiar?
New York Daily News reported:
An openly gay Texas judge says she refuses to conduct marriage ceremonies for straight couples until same-sex couples can also wed. Dallas County Judge Tonya Parker explained her decision Tuesday at a monthly meeting for the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas.
"I do not perform them because it is not an equal application of the law. Period," she said, according to the Dallas Voice, a newspaper for the gay community.
Fast forward to 2015 and consider gay marriage is now legal in all 50 states. We start to see the flip side of the coin with Kim Davis.
CNN Politics reports:
Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who's refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses, on Monday asked the Kentucky governor to immediately free her from jail, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
Mrs. Davis has went as far as asking Gov. Steve Beshear for a pardon but, Beshear's office said Monday he won't respond, noting that the conflict was a "matter between her and the courts."
Davis had refused to give licenses to same-sex couples after June's Supreme Court decision on grounds that issuing the licenses would violate her Christian convictions against same-sex marriage.
So this brings us to a final question, where was the outrage and jail time for Tonya Parker? Whether the leftists of the world realize it or not, cases like this are the reason for much of the right wing's anger. The double standards that we see on a daily basis are mind numbing to say the least.
I for one am tired of the whole situation and ask each and everyone who supports the release of the clerk to share this article and bring to light the hypothetical actions of a group that has forced enough on others already.

We're delighted to have Michelle Levy stop by to tell us more about her debut novel NOT AFTER EVERYTHING.
Michelle, what is your favorite thing about NOT AFTER EVERYTHING?
My favorite thing would have to be the characters. I loved discovering all the new things about each and every one of them as I wrote (even the not-so-nice ones). Basically I wish Henry and Dr. Dave were real people.
The hardest scenes for me to write were the ones with the abusive father. My writing style is sort of like method acting, I try to become the character in order to truly get their motivation and dialogue. He was one of the last characters I fleshed out in revisions because I just wasn't ready to go there. I'm proud of those scenes now and I really hope people will see all the layers of that character. The scenes I love the most are probably the post holiday dinner scenes where Jordyn (the love interest)'s family is sitting by the fire while her stepdad is playing the guitar and singing; where Tyler truly gets a taste of the family he's always wished he had.
Well, the comp titles my publisher used were Eleanor & Park, Willow, and The Spectacular Now. And I had a reviewer compare it to Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything. Not bad company to be in, right? I love all of those books!
How long did you work on NOT AFTER EVERYTHING?
I'm a fast drafter. I drafted Not After Everything in a little under five weeks. But then I revised it for about four months before I queried it. And then I did a revision with my agent before we sent it out on submission. And then after it sold I did another three revisions with my editors before copyedits et al.
NAE was my fifth book. I queried two others, one of which I shouldn't have because it wasn't very good, and the other, though I did get a good amount of requests and some great feedback, was paranormal at a time when nobody wanted to touch paranormal. One of the agents who gave me really great feedback—probably the nicest rejection letter known to man—told me that I should write contemporary. She ultimately didn't become my agent but she started me on the right path. And then when I started querying Not After Everything, I finally got a lot of requests—and a lot of rejections, too. All in all, I'd say that over the course of three years and three books I probably got around 150 agent rejections. I had an amazing submission process though. Basically my agent pitched my book on Wednesday and then on Friday she got the news that Dial was going to make us an offer on Monday, and they did! So I guess that makes up for all the years of rejection.
I'm working on something dealing with bullying and psychological issues. You know, something really light. ;-) What can I say? I love digging deep into the human psyche.
Fans of Eleanor and Park, The Spectacular Now, and Julia Hoban's Willow won't be able to put down this gritty but hopeful love story about two struggling teens.
Tyler has a football scholarship to Stanford, a hot girlfriend, and a reliable army of friends to party with. Then his mom kills herself. And Tyler lets it all go. Now he needs to dodge what his dad is offering (verbal tirades and abuse) and earn what his dad isn't (money): He needs a job. It's there that he reunites with Jordyn, his childhood best friend, and now the token goth girl at school. Jordyn brings Tyler an unexpected peace and, finally, love. But with his family in shambles, he can't risk bringing Jordyn too deeply into his life. So when violence rocks Tyler's world again, will it be Jordyn who shows him the way to a hopeful future? Or after everything, will Tyler have to find it in himself?
This tough, realistic page-turner reveals a boy's point of view on loss and love.
Michelle Levy was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado, where she memorized books before she was able to read, tricking her parents into thinking she was a genius. At eighteen she moved to Los Angeles, to pursue a career in casting for film and television. In her many years of casting she has been privileged to work on projects such as Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Bruce Almighty, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Vampire Academy, and many more. Michelle always secretly harbored a desire to write. She spent many insomnia-filled nights dreaming up stories that she never thought to write down. When she finally set out to get something on the page, the words flew out of her until she had her first completed manuscript and she never looked back. She still lives in Los Angeles, but desperately misses thunderstorms, and even the occasional snowstorm, so she visits Colorado quite often.

Have you had a chance to read NOT AFTER EVERYTHING yet? Do you become your characters in order to truly get their motivation and dialogue? Are you a fast drafter like Michelle?
Ooh, Michelle got to work on Six Feet Under and Deadwood! I loved those shows! Congrats Michelle!

Normani Announced as Global Ambassador for Savage x Fenty
Talk about an iconic pairing!
By Gianluca Russo
Craig Barritt/Getty Images
Within only three months since the release of her debut solo has already been blazing her trail to the top. With a mind-blowing performance at the VMAs, a collaboration with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj for the Charlie's Angels soundtrack, and multiple memorable style moments under her belt, there's no doubt the former Fifth Harmony member is quickly proving herself to be the icon that she is. In fact, Normani has made such an impact that even Rihanna — goddess of, well, everything — has climbed on board the stan-train.
On November 21, Rih's lingerie lineSavage x Fenty officially announced Normani will now serve as as the new global ambassador for the brand. In a press release, Rihanna said, "Normani is the perfect choice for a Savage X ambassador. She exudes confidence and power. Everything she does is executed with passion and the belief she's going to kill it. That's why people gravitate towards her."
The news doesn't come as too much of a shock. During New York Fashion Week, Normani played a huge role in Rihanna's Savage x Fenty show, giving a truly exhilarating dance performance that left audiences taken back by her magnitude. If you missed it, fret not, because you can still watch Normani's showstopping performance (and the equally impressive show) on Amazon Prime Video.
Now as global ambassador of the brand, Normani will star in Savage x Fenty's campaigns, including their upcoming 2019 holiday campaign. Since launching in 2018, Rihanna has always ensured that Savage x Fenty puts diversity at the forefront of the brand, and this surely aligns with that.
"I am beyond honored to join the Savage X family as their new global brand ambassador," Normani said in a statement about the news. "Rihanna is always at the cutting edge and continues to push the boundaries in everything she does. The way she embraces her sexuality and exudes grace is such an inspiration to me and so many other women around the world. Rihanna and Savage X celebrate and empower women of all shapes, sizes, and colors everywhere — it's a beautiful thing and is truly revolutionary. I am so grateful for this opportunity and excited for what's to come with my new Savage X family."
Here's to Normani giving us the motivation to buy even more from Savage x Fenty!

Ethan Snoreck, better known by his stage name Whethan (formerly Wheathin), is an American DJ and music producer from Chicago. He gained recognition after his remix of the track "XE3" by Mssingno, which as of December 2018 has garnered over 13 million plays on SoundCloud.

Early life
Whethan attended Carl Sandburg High School from his freshman year until the first semester of his senior year. In May 2017, Whethan left high school early to tour with The Chainsmokers in 2017. He returned just long enough to attend his graduation ceremony at which he gave the entire school a preview of his unreleased work.

He first began releasing house music under his real name Ethan Snoreck, but became known as "Wheathin" because one of his early productions was a remix of a Wheat Thins jingle, which he created to prove to his friends that he could make music. The snack brand asked him to change his name in 2016. He chose Whethan He started producing music by 'messing around' on Garage Band on his iPad. He first became interested in music when he began rapping with his friend Trevor in 6th and 7th grade. Since then he listened to well-known musicians such as Daft Punk, Skrillex, and Deadmau5.

When he was 16 years old, he was recognized as the youngest ever producer to release a record on Australian EDM label, Future Classic. He later caught the attention of dubstep pioneer and Owsla-founder, Skrillex.

Career
Whethan often incorporates a mix of indie future synths with electropop in his songs. His main influence is Flume, considered one of the pioneers of the future bass movement.

He frequently collaborates with Oliver Tree. The duo have released singles titled "All You Ever Talk About", "When I'm Down", "Enemy","Do You Feel Me?" and "Freefall" together. Whethan has also released "Can't Hide" and "Savage", featuring Ashe and Flux Pavilion and MAX, respectively. An official music video was released for the song "Can't Hide" which has over 2 million SoundCloud plays. The song also debuted at number one on Billboard's Spotify Viral 50 chart.

Whethan performed at SXSW music festival in March. He will also be performing at BUKU Music + Art Project festival, which fuses electronic music, hip hop and indie rock. Whethan toured with trap artists Flosstradamus in November alongside fellow DJs Slushii, Towkio, and Gent & Jawns.

In 2018, Whethan collaborated with pop singer Dua Lipa on the song "High", which was featured in the film Fifty Shades Freed. In March of the same year, he released the single "Be Like You" featuring Broods.

In 2020, he was set to perform at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, but the festival was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022, he co-wrote the single "High" with The Chainsmokers for their return after a two-year break and helped produce and co-write half the album.

If you were a crime lord looking to dole out death sentences to those who crossed you, a simple laser blast execution would be far too easy. Better to take a leisurely flight across the desert to a massive hole in the ground — such as the Great Pit of Carkoon, which was inhabited by a Sarlacc. Then you'd jab your prisoner a few times until he plummeted, screaming, into the creature's hungry jaws. That's how Jabba the Hutt did things, to great dramatic effect, permanently offing his competitors in one terrifying mouthful.
Sarlaccs are a classic ambush predator. The one on Carkoon made its home far beneath the sandy surface, concealing its presence until the last possible moment, and then striking out at bite-sized meals.
Sarlaccs have circular mouths ringed by dozens of curved teeth. At the edges of their mouths are long, spindly tentacles meant to snag and drag prey back to the beaked tongue, which rips lunch into a more digestible size.
These are the icebergs of space aliens. Although their mouths are gigantic, most of the animal's oblong body may be buried far underground. The overall effect is nightmare fuel for the ages.

RedMagic introduces the Cyberpods along with an Eclipse Black RedMagic 5S
By João Carrasqueira Neowin @indospot · Nov 12, 2020 13:10 EST with 0 comments
nubia's RedMagic brand has developed some very interesting gaming-dedicated smartphones in the past few years, including the RedMagic 5S, which we reviewed back in the summer. Now, the company is introducing its own true wireless earbuds with the gaming brand, which it calls the Cyberpods.
The most striking thing about the earbuds is definitely its design, featuring RedMagic's typical angular look and sharp-looking edges for the case and the buds themselves. They're also unique because they have gone for the "gamer aesthetic" of being lit up. The case has three lights for the charging indicator and a set of lights on the inside that glow red when you open the case. The buds themselves have a lit-up RedMagic logo that glows red when they're in gaming mode.
In terms of features, the Cyberpods aren't too far off from other earbuds. They feature easy pairing with RedMagic phones, so all you need to do is open the case for them to pair automatically. With other brands of phones, they work like regular Bluetooth earbuds. They also have the aforementioned gaming mode, which offers latency as low as 39ms.
Each earbud has a 60mAh battery that promises up to four hours of battery life, and the charging case has 500mAh for an additional 20 hours, but there's no fast charging or anything. The earbuds weigh about 5 grams each, and the case comes in at 58.4 grams.
The RedMagic Cyberpods will be available starting November 20, and they'll cost $49.90 / €49.90 / £39.90. RedMagic also announced that the RedMagic 5S will be available in Eclipse Black on the same day, though the color will only be available for the configuration with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It will cost the same $579/€579/£539 as the current Sonic Silver model.

Kreuztal Mai 2018. Company Heinrich Georg signed the order for another project in the field of aluminium-plate machining.
The new milling machine type GEORG ultramill 2600 T will be delivered to leading Swiss aluminium producer Constellium during summer next year.
The main reason for the investment is the increase in production capacities due to rising demands in the market says Constellium.
For machining of the large aluminium plates GEORG is using a milling carriage with a maximum main drive power of 200 kW and a milling head of 2.500 mm diameter. Process reliability, quality and flexibility were the main issues for the decision and were without compromise for Constellium.
Beside the tremendous accuracy requirements which were set to the milling machine type ultramill, additionally GEORG owes the order to the high level of references in this market segment. With this order GEORG delivers since 2014 already the fifth machine into the area of aluminium-plate manufacturing.
"Obviously we could convince the leading manufacturers with our machine and service concept about the productivity of the GEORG design" says Jan Ebener Head of Sales at GEORG´s machine tool division. "Especially the high precision Z-axis gives us an enormous advantage compared to our competitors" added Jan Ebener.

Functions of the Monarchy in UK
According to Jennings the functions of the Monarchy may be said to be four. First, appearing in an impersonal fashion as the Crown, the Monarch's name is the cement that binds the Constitution. Secondly, the Monarch similarly binds the units of Commonwealth. Thirdly, there are political functions of the highest importance which the Monarch performs personally. Fourthly, the Monarch is a social figure exercising important functions outside the political sphere. We begin the elaboration of these functions first taking the personal functions of the Monarch, though it upsets the order in which Jennings enumerates them.
Personal Authority of the King:-
In the actual conduct of the work of government the Monarch still personally performs certain specific acts and the most important of these is that the King must make certain that he or she has a Government in the United Kingdom. The Government is headed by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister selects his own team to make a Government.
The King, thus, chooses a Prime Minister and the latter then prepares a list of Ministers and submits it to the King for his approval. But when choosing the Prime Minister, the King must remember that a Ministry must have the support of a majority of the House of Commons otherwise it will be unable to govern.
Now-a-days, the choice of such a person who is to be-the Prime Minister and can lead the majority in the House of Commons is obvious. The leader of the majority party in the House of Commons is summoned and commissioned to form government.
The essential point, writes Herbert Morrison, is that the new Prime Minister should be able to command a majority in the House of Commons, and not merely be able to form a government, for the government cannot live without a parliamentary majority.
If the Government is defeated on a hostile vote in the . House of Commons, the Sovereign summons the Leader of the Opposition and commissions him to form a new government. Even if the Prime Minister dies in office the choice of his successor can be reasonably obvious, though careful consideration would be given to the likelihood of the person appointed being acceptable to a majority in the House of Commons.
Since Churchill's War Government has emerged the office of the Deputy Prime Minister, though it has not been constitutionally recognized. When the Prime Minister dies in office says Morrison, the Deputy Prime Minister might be specially considered by the Sovereign, though there would be no obligation to do so especially as I gather, that the Sovereign does not recognize such an office.
In 1951, when Winston Churchill again returned to office, he submitted to George VI the name of Anthony Eden as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister. The King pointed out that the latter office was unknown to the Constitution, and on his instructions it was deleted from the new Foreign Secretary's appointment.
But if no party commands a real majority, or when a Prime Minister retires and when the majority party has not yet designated its leader, the choice of the Prime Minister is not easy. The Sovereign makes, in such & case, a personal decision to whom to send or, although he ts always careful to follow that course which is least likely to arouse criticism.
The Sovereignty choice in these conditions, writes Morrison, has much constitutional significance. The choice may be a very delicate one and involve embarrassing complications. The Sovereign could, of course, take all relevant considerations to account, and be at great pains not only to be institutional correct, but make every effort to.
See that the correctness is likely to be generally recognized. Its the Sovereign's undoubted right to seek or not to seck the advice of the outgoing Prime Minister and is also free to receive counsel and advice from such Privy Councillors whom the Monarch may wish to consult.
When the Conservative Prime Minister, Bonar law, resigned because of ill-health on May 20, 1923 King George V passed over the claims to succession of Sir Austen Chamberlain and Lord Curzon and sent for Stanley Baldwin to form the government.
In 1924, no party had a clear majority in the House of Commons. George V sent for Ramsay MacDonald, and not Asquith, to form the Government, although the Labour Party had behind it only about one-third of the members of the House. A minority Labour Government under MacDonald; dependent on Liberal votes, took office again in 1929.
The events of 1931 or the crisis of 1931 as Herbert Morrison described, were more complicated and the act of George V in commissioning Ramsay MacDonald to head the National Government was characterized by Professor Laski it as much the personal choice of George V as Lord Bute was the personal choice of George III.
King George V was, I feel sure, wrote Herbert -Morrison, activated by sincere motives. And certainly the financial and economic situation of the country was serious. Nevertheless I think his judgment was at fault.
The King would have been wise, he adds, to have ascertained what was likely to happen by inquiry of one or more Labour Privy Councillors likely to know. He might have asked the Prime Minister to ascertain the view of the Labour Cabinet; but no action was taken to ascertain the general Labour view. Morrison even questioned the need of the National Government and was of the opinion that a Conservative-Liberal coalition could have done all that the so-called National Government did.
Whenever the Labour Party secured a majority it insisted on the right of the Labour members of Parliament to choose their own leader and the Sovereign's choice of the Prime Minister was, accordingly, obvious, But the Conservative Party did not follow this practice and the Sovereign had, thus, a choice when the Conservative Party had a majority but no leader, Baldwin became leader in 1923 and Chamberlain in 1937, because they were Prime Ministers.
This practice of the Conservative Party evoked a severe criticism from the Labour Party when Sir Anthony Eden resigned on January 9,1957 and the Queen appointed Harold Macmillan as the new Prime Minister. Until the moment Macrhillan went to the Palace the nation was left guessing whether he or R.A. Butler, the Lord Privy Seal, would become Sir Anthony Eden's successor.
The Queen sought the advice of Sir Winston Churchill and the Marquess of Salisbury and it was believed that the advice of Churchill was a powerful factor in deciding the issue. The Times in an editorial said that ultimate responsibility for the choice of Harold Macmillan was the Queen's alone and that time and events would show how wisely she had judged.
Labour Party chiefs at a specially called meeting of their shadow cabinet Parliamentary committee, expressed the fear that the Crown had been brought into party politics in a most undesirable way. James Griffiths, Labour Deputy Leader, in the absence of the leader Hugh Gaitskell, said in a radio interview, on January 11, 1957.
We do not question that the Crown acted with due constitutional propriety, but, he added, we do believe it is important that parties themselves should decide on their leaders and that the Crown should net be put in the embarrassing position of having to make a choice between rival claimants for the Premiership from the same party. Griffiths further asserted that if this position was to recur often there would be a full case for examining the procedure, because this is bringing the Crown into internecine party warfare which is very bad for the Constitution.
The historical method of choosing a leader by the Conservative Party underwent a considerable strain when Sir Alec Douglas-Home was asked to take over from Harold Macmillan in 1963 and eventually led to the retirement from politics of R.A. Butler. In 1965, the party changed its method of selecting a leader.
Today, a ballot is held of all Conservative MPs, and to be elected a leader on the first ballot a candidate has to receive an overall majority of votes, and also he has to receive 15 per cent more votes than his nearest rival. If he or she does not achieve this, as Mrs Margaret Thatcher could not, a second ballot is held two or three days later, for which the contestants have to be renominated and for which new candidates can also be nominated.
To be successful in the second ballot a candidate merely has to secure an overall majority of votes. If this is not still achieved, a third ballot is held. The third ballot is restricted to the three leading candidates of the second ballot and the voters indicate their first and second preferences on the ballot paper.
After the votes have been counted, the third candidate is eliminated, and the votes secured by him are redistributed, according to the second preferences, between the two remaining candidates. The successful candidate is then presented to a party meeting consisting of Conservative MPs, Peers, prospective candidates, and members of the National Union Executive Committee.
This process was first used in July 1965, when Sir Alec Douglas-Home resigned as party leader. The new democratic method, thus, ended the hoary tradition of evolving a sort of consensus after private soundings of Conservative members of Parliament, prospective MPs., Peers and the party executive.
In past when the Conservatives would be in power the retiring Prime Minister had always a big say about his successor. Ali this led to intrigue and wire-pulling in the party. Thus ended the monarch's conventional privilege of selecting a conservative Prime Minister through informal consultations.
The new method of selecting the Conservative party leader was in line with the method followed by the Labour Party till 1980, and it mitigated the possibility of the monarch's intervention in active politics, Till 1980, for the selection of a Labour Party leader, a ballot of the Parliamentary party was held in which a candidate for the post was required to receive an absolute majority.
If no candidate receive the request the majority, a second ballot was held doping out the candidate at the bottom of the first ballot, weak latter and this process was repeated until a candidate secure a majority. Since 1980, the party leader elected by the parliamentary party is to be approved by an electoral college consisting of members of Parliament, constituency delegates and trade union representatives.
When the monarch exercises a choice in selecting the Prime Minister he or she is no mere figurehead. The monarch, as Jennings says, does not steer the ship, but she (Queen) has to make certain that there is a man at the wheel. Nor is it always easy to know when the problem will arise.
Neviile Chamberlain in 1937 had a large majority, but by 1940 George VI was looking forward fer a Conservative Prime Minister who could secure Labour as well as Conservative support and found him in Mr. Churchill. It is, however true, Jennings, admits, that these cases are exceptional. Normally the machine runs efficiently, because the Government has a majority and if it loses at an election, the Opposition steps in to form the Government.
The existence today, of the Labour and Conservative Parties procedures for electing their leaders does not in itself effect the constitutional prerogative of the Monarch, in that the Monarch remains free to choose whoever may be regarded as suitable, Nevertheless, in practice it seems inconceivable that the Monarch would choose as Prime Minister anyone who had not first been elected party leader, provided that in a crisis time was allowed for the election to take place. It is possible, however, that the Monarch could still play an effective role in selecting a Prime Minister if it was not clear which party could form a government.
It is sometimes asserted that the dismissal of Ministers and the dissolution of Parliament may be undertaken by the King without the consent of Government. No Government has been dismissed by the Sovereign since 1783, although it is still maintained by many constitutional experts that the King has the right to dismiss Ministers, if he has reason to believe that their policy though approved by the House of Commons has not the approval of the people.
But, as Jennings correctly points out, such an argument is an argument for dissolution and not a dismissal of Ministers. Ministerial dismissal by the Head of the State is not the essence of the Parliament system of Government and no King would venture it, whatever be the legal opinion, unless he is determined to gamble in the most dangerous manner.
The duration of Parliament in ordinary circumstances is for five years, but conditions may arise in which a dissolution of Parliament may be desired before the expiry of its full term of life, There might, for example, be an important difference of opinion within the Cabinet which would make it impossible for the Government to carry on, or a Government may desire to take the verdict of the electorate on an important matter of policy on which it had no mandate, or there might be revolt within the ranks of the Government Party which caused the Government to be defeated in the House of Commons on some matter of importance. In circumstances such as these the Prime Minister might request the Sovereign to exercise his Royal prerogative of dissolving Parliament and direct new elections to be held.
The Sovereign's right to dissolve Parliament has been a subject of deep controversy. It has been maintained that the Sovereign is not bound to accept ministerial advice on this matter. This, indeed, seems to have been the view of Queen Victoria and some of her contemporaries. Even Keith held similar opinion. The prerogative of the Crown to dissolve Parliament, he wrote, is undoubted. The manner of dissolution does not, as often said, strictly speaking, involve the aid of ministers, for the King could still present himself in the House of Lords, and by word of mouth, dissolve the Parliament, But in practice dissolution takes place by a proclamation under the Great Seal, which is based on the advice of the Privy Council for whose summons the Lord President accepts responsibility.
Consequently, the King cannot secure a dissolution without advice. If the Ministers refuse to give s such advice, he can do no more than dismiss them and we know how hazardous it is for the Sovereign to dismiss Ministers who command the confidence of the House of Commons. A forced dissolution, therefore, is impossible, though one induced by royal pressure is perfectly in order.
There have been two definite occasions during the last eighty years when dissolution took place at the express desire of the King. The first was over the budget in 1910 at the desire of Edward VII and, the second, over the power of the Lords in the same year, at the desire of George V.
In each case, maintained Laski, the ministers, however, reluctantly, acquiesced in the King's desire and the dissolution was, accordingly amply surrounded by the cloak of ministerial responsibility; though the King took the initiative in pressing a dissolution upon the government. In each case, also, the government accepted the advice. But there are many instances as well, for example, in 1866,1873, 1885, 1895, and 1905 when the Cabinet did not wish to dissolve, in spite of the royal sanction.
The right of the King to dissolve Parliament without advice became a matter of practical discussion in 1913 over the Home Rule Bill. The Home Rule Bill had been passed by the House of Commons in two successive sessions but rejected by the House of Lords in each of these sessions. The Unionists claimed that the Government had received no mandate from the electorate at General Election for such a measure in 1910, and, thus, demanded a dissolution before the Bill was submitted to the House of Commons the third time and passed under the Parliament Act, 1911.
The Unionists realized that Asquith was unlikely to advise dissolution and they discussed the power of the King to dissolve without advice. George Cave argued that the King had an undoubted right to dissolve Parliament and that he should exercise the right on this occasion to satisfy himself that the House does indeed represent the democracy of today.
Sir William Anson admitted that the advice of the Ministers was constitutionally necessary, and that if the Government was not willing to give such an advice, the King would have to ascertain, presumably from the Opposition, whether the alternative Ministry could take office and to accept the responsibility for a dissolution. Dicey agreed with Anson, but Professor Morgan insisted that such independent action on the part of the King would almost inevitably be equivalent to dismissal of his ministers, and that if once a dissolution was effected by the King's choice, no dissolution would be free from ambiguity, and speculation as to the degree of responsibility of the Sovereign would be a feature of every election.
Commenting on this issue Jennings comes to the conclusion that there cannot be the least doubt that Professor Morgan was wholly in the right. Either the King persuades the ministers to advise a dissolution or ministers resign. In other words, the King cannot exercise his prerogative of dissolution without advice.
During the last more than a hundred years there is no instance of a refusal of a dissolution when advised. Nevertheless, opinion has always prevailed, and there exists a persistent tradition that it could be refused, if the necessary circumstances arose. Summing up the discussion of the right of the King to refuse dissolution, Keith says, the appears that there is some divergence of view among the authorities on the question whether the King can refuse a dissolution to a Prime Minister who asks for it, the better opinion is that the power still exists, but that it could be properly exercised only in exceptional circumstances.
What those exceptional circumstances can be Standard gives one specific instance. The contingency for refusal was there, he says, if Neville Chamberlain had advised a dissolution in May, 1940 when the Germans were crossing the Albert Canal. At such critical moments, he says, the limits of the convention that keeps the Crown out of politics are reached, and the reigning Sovereign must himself decide, in the last resort, where his duty lies.
Similarly, the right to a dissolution, as Keith says, is not a right to a series of dissolution. The King would not give the Ministry, which had obtained dissolution and lost an election, another dissolution. The circumstances are which should enforce the retirement of the Ministry, although it is also true that a defeated Ministry would not ask for a second dissolution.
The conclusion is that dissolution i is normally ordered by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister, but it is quite wrong to infer that the personal opinion of the Monarch is never of any account in matters affecting the dissolution of Parliament. In his biography of George VI, Sir John Wheeler Bennett has vividly described the attitude of the King during the 1950-51 Labour Government when the stability of the Government was severely hampered by the precarious majority of eight votes it held in the House of Commons.
The Opposition, failing to bring down the administration by a series of adverse motions, adopted a system of guerrilla warfare, it was not pleasant, wrote the Prime Minister, to have Members coming from hospital at the risk of their lives to prevent a defeat in the House.
This instable equilibrium was a source of anxiety to the King and on June 24, 1951, he raised question of dissolution with the Prime Minister, who replied that he would ask for one in autumn, Parliament was dissolved on October 24. Attlee denied that he was pushed into asking for a dissolution by some pressure from the King.
There is no substance in this, but, the position of the King was one which I personally had to take into account. Attlee, speaking on B.B.C., television in February 1963, stated that the strain on the health of Labour Members of the House of Commons to maintain the Government slender majority was his predominant motive in seeking a dissolution.
He was no doubt also influenced by the desire to secure the most politically opportune moment for the election. Commenting upon this issue Brasher says, Yet if royal wishes were not decisive in 1951 neither were they negligible. Implicit in Lord Attlee's attitude is an acceptance of the fact that the monarch still retains a measure of responsibility for the maintenance of political stability. It cannot be merely accidental that the King's pressures to dissolve Parliament in 1924, 1931 and 1951 have come only to dislodge Labor governments.
The King summons and prorogues Parliament. On the opening of Parliament, the King reads the Speech from the Throne, But the Speech which the Sovereign reads is not his own work and may be read for the King by the Lied Chancellor. The King assents to the election of the Speaker of the House of Commons and here too, he may act by proxy.
Orders-in-Council cannot be passed except for the presence of the King. Similarly, the appointment of the Lord Chancellor and the Secretaries of State are the personal acts of the King, consisting in actual handing of the seals of office to the designated ministers.
The Monarch receives ambassadors in person, though his too is a sheer formality. The King may convoke a conference of party leaders, as did George V in 1914, with a view to avoid a constitutional crisis, though such a step the King can take only upon advice received from his ministers.
The Sovereign is the fountain of honors. It is the essence of honors of any kind says Keith, that they should appear to be the personal gift of the Sovereign, and for this reason all honors are submitted to and formally approved by the Sovereign,and whenever possible the investiture with the insignia or other act in connection with its bestowal is performed by King in person or at least the royal signature is attached to the instrument conferring it.
But the principle in the great majority of cases of the conferment of honors is that the recommendation to the Sovereign goes from a Mister, and normally the Prime Minister. The grant, however, is not entirely on advice. The Sovereign ts able to resist the grant of honors of which he does not approve.
In 1859, Queen Victoria refused to consent to a Privy Councillor ship for John Bright. In 1869, she refused to sanction a peerage for Sir L.de Rothschild; and in 1881, she firmly resisted Gladstone's advice to make Sir Garnet-Wolseley a Peer. In 1906, Edward VII objected to several peerages and Privy Chancellorship, although on pressure he ultimately gave way.
A few honors, that is, the Order of Merit, the Order of Companions of Honor, the Royal Victorian Order, the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and the Most Noble and Most Ancient Order of the Thistle, are in the Sovereign's personal gift

Still using Windows XP? Here's how to bunker down and survive the end of support
By Matthew S. Smith	 April 8, 2014 5:35AM PST
Microsoft's famously successful (and still popular) Windows XP is now well over a decade old. While about 30 percent of Windows users worldwide still rely on XP, an operating system as aged as XP can't be supported forever, and thus, its discontinuation date looms. After April 8th, 2014 there will be no new security updates and no new patches.
This effectively means that XP will be left to slowly become unsecured, unreliable and incompatible with new hardware, but you don't have to abandon ship immediately. Here's what you must know to keep XP going while minimizing the risks associated with using the OS once support for it concludes.
What end-of-support doesn't mean
The end-of-support announcement has put some users into a panic, as it sounds ominous if you don't delve into the details. We've encountered users who think that XP will simply stop working, users think thought they'll be "forced" to upgrade, and users who believe troubleshooting XP will be virtually impossible after April 8.
The discontinuation of security patches is the most damaging part of terminating support for XP.
In truth, nothing will immediately change. End-of-support does not negatively impact existing XP installations in any way. No features will be disabled, no upgrades will be forced, and even technical support will still be relatively easy to come across. Literally millions of articles have been published about tweaking or fixing XP, and they won't disappear overnight.
MORE: Common Windows XP problems and how to fix them
All end-of-support means is, well, "end of support." No more patches, no more security updates, no more technical support from Microsoft itself. There are ways to work around these issues.
Update Windows, install an anti-virus, prepare for the worst
The discontinuation of security patches is the most damaging part of terminating support for XP. New attacks are constantly developed, but XP computers will no longer be receiving patches to counteract exploits. The operating system's security will degrade over time.
There's nothing you can directly do about this, but you can take security seriously. Download and install a free antivirus, such as Avast or Avira. Install any Windows updates that you haven't yet grabbed. Make sure your browser, as well as any relevant plug-ins (like Java), are constantly updated to their latest versions, and make sure you've backed up your data with software like Crashplan or Cobian.
All of this is basic stuff you should've been doing already, but it's even more important now that XP will be taken off life support. You're on your own, so you must take every precaution to keep new exploits and viruses at bay.
Stockpile drivers and software
Microsoft's decision to abandon XP will send waves throughout the computing industry. Manufacturers will take it as a sign that they, too, can start forgetting about the operating system. This means new drivers won't take XP into account and, to make matters worse, XP-compatible drivers will slowly disappear from the Internet.
Paranoid users should grab a Windows XP install disk as a contingency plan.
Now is a good time to make an emergency driver stockpile. Round up all of the software used by your motherboard, video card, sound card, printer, monitor and any other hardware. Place all of it on a flash drive, and put that drive in a safe place. You'll need it if a driver is ever corrupted, you install a new driver that doesn't work, or you have to re-install XP.

You should give the same treatment to any important software you have installed. This includes security software, disk management software, performance tweaks, and anything else you consider critical. Old versions of software can disappear, too, so it's good to have copies on hand.
Make sure you have a recovery option
Your Windows XP computer probably came with a recovery disk. Many users lose track of that disc eventually, so make sure you still have it.
Can't find it? Then you have a few options.
You can make a new disc using your computer's recovery software. Strangely, Windows XP lacks a native tool to make recovery CDs, so manufacturers often shipped PCs with recovery software that fills this gap. You'll need to consult your manufacturer or your PC's manual for instructions on how to use it.
A better option is to use a backup utility that images your entire drive, such as Acronis True Image. This creates a backup that saves not just your files and folders but also your operating system and all relevant settings. You'll be able to re-install XP exactly as it was before with all updates and software intact. The software isn't free, though; one Acronis license is $49.99.
Paranoid users should grab a Windows XP install disk as a contingency plan in case other recovery options fail. You can grab a disk for an about $30 to $40 bucks on eBay. Make sure the version on the disk matches the version of Windows you have installed, and that you have a valid registration key to use with it. Most computers ship with a key printed on them.
Bookmark helpful XP fan sites
Microsoft's decision to end support for Windows XP likely won't stop millions of people from using it, and XP user/fan sites will likely remain a good source for helpful tips and troubleshooting information if you ever run into a problem.

1. Natalie's game is so unorthodox — a lunge in her swing, a split hand putting stroke — but her ball striking is pure and she gets in the hole. She made a strong birdie from the sand on her final hole (the par 5 ninth) to card a 1-under 71. Also, I was amazed at how much stuff she wears while playing: big earrings, a bracelet, an anklet, a big bow in her hair….
2. Unlike PGA pros, who all look pretty much the same with only a few exceptions, the LPGA pros come in many, many shapes and sizes. With lots of foreign players, lots of small and tall players, lots of lean and not-so-lean players, and nearly everyone sporting a different look, it is often fun to just take in the aesthetic of all the players (especially because, even as a follower of women's golf, I recognize less than half the players by name).
4. I believe Tartan Fields, which is a lovely Palmer-designed course with a number of challenging holes, is set up a bit too easy. The fairways are generous, so driver is the club on every tee, and that means an approach shot of under 130 yards on many holes given where the tees are set (especially for longer hitters like Catriona Matthew). The course's challenge is around the greens, but players who have their short irons working take a lot of that challenge out of play. I'd like to see the tees back about 15 to 20 yards on each hole; the scores would be 2-4 strokes higher and par would be an achievement. (I do not like it when shooting par the first day leaves you six shots back and in 70th place.).

Justin Steward Furstenfeld (* 14. Dezember 1975 in Houston, Texas) ist ein US-amerikanischer Rockmusiker. Er ist Sänger, Songwriter, Aufnahmeproduzent, Gitarrist und Frontmann der Rockband Blue October. Er ist der Bruder von Jeremy Furstenfeld, dem Drummer der Band.

Leben
Als Kind wurde sein Geschmack für melancholische Musik geweckt, nachdem er den Song Crying von Roy Orbison gehört hat. Seit seinem 14. Lebensjahr befindet sich Furstenfeld in Psychotherapie. Mit 22 Jahren wurde Furstenfeld erstmals klinisch vorstellig. Kurz nach seiner Entlassung veröffentlichte er mit der Band das Album The Answers.

Auf der Highschool begann er mit dem Musizieren und Theaterschauspiel. Mit 16 schrieb Furstenfeld seinen ersten Song, welcher über den Selbstmord von Jugendlichen handelte.

Furstenfeld gründete als Schüler der High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) im Alter von 13 Jahren die Band The Last Wish, die zwei Alben veröffentlichte und bis 1995 dort spielte.

Furstenfeld produzierte für die Band Canvas das Album Four Days Awake und war an den Aufnahmen als Backgroundsänger beteiligt. Im August 2008 tourte er gemeinsam mit der Twilight-Autorin Stephenie Meyer durch vier Städte der USA, die Konzerte waren allesamt ausverkauft. Zudem ist Furstenfeld auch als Künstler tätig. So wurden zum Beispiel seine Zeichnungen als Coverbilder der Alben The Answers und History for Sale genutzt. 2009 erschien mit Crazy Making ein Buch von Justin Furstenfeld, dass alle Songtexte enthält.

Seine Texte behandeln Themen wie mentale Depressionen, Drogenabhängigkeit, Liebe, Betrug und Vergebung. Die Entstehung dieser Texte beschreibt er folgendermaßen:

1996 trat Furstenfeld unter der Regie von Julia Dyer im Film Late Bloomers ... lieber spät als nie auf.

Furstenfeld ist verheiratet und hat zwei Töchter, eine aus erster und eine aus zweiter Ehe. Seine erste Frau trennte sich im Jahr 2010 von ihm. Er war einige Zeit lang drogenabhängig und Alkoholiker. Seit 2012 ist Furstenfeld erneut verheiratet.

Er unterstützt die Organisation Freunde fürs Leben, die über Depressionen informiert und über Suizid aufklärt. 2014 erschien sein Debüt-Solo-Album Songs From An Open Book, welches Akustikversionen verschiedener Blue-October- und The-Last-Wish-Lieder beinhaltet. Dieses stieg auf Platz 45 in den US-Albumcharts ein.

I'll start with the job. It's going really well I think. It's hard work, but I'm enjoying it. The last time I wrote, I was still recovering from food poisoning. I was right to assume that was making life harder. Don't get me wrong, the week after was difficult, but nowhere near as much so. This half term finishes tomorrow and I've told the school I'll go back after the break. I never would have expected to end up in a job like it, but I'm glad I did. There's so much more to say, but I also don't want to say too much: I'm off to a good start and a breach of confidentiality might blow it all. In the interest of staying professional, my lips are sealed.
Life outside of the new job is pretty wonderful. I come home feeling like, in my little patch of this world, I've done some good. It feels good to be working hard and I'm proud to be challenging myself. That's given me such a boost in general. Coming home from my office job was always a miserable affair. I was knackered, my brain hurt and I just wanted bed most days. I don't miss that one bit.
I'M FEELING 22. Yep, my birthday's been and gone. Birthday's are amazing things. I'm so glad that at some point in our past human kind decided we should celebrate the date of our birth each year. I spent this birthday just chilling at home, listening to my new vinyl records, eating lots and drinking Prosecco and I loved it. I couldn't have been happier. I woke up next to Dave at 5 in the morning and decided that was a little too soon to be waking everyone up. I woke again at half 7 but again, thought it was a little early. I eventually got up at 9 and got straight in the shower. I was ready in a flash and when I got downstairs my mum was making tea and frying bacon and my grandparents were there with hugs and birthday wishes. A massive chicken was out ready to be roasted. I'm a child at heart and I was so excited. I was spoilt rotten and by the end of the day I couldn't stop smiling.
If you're thinking that's all a little too tame for a 22nd birthday celebration, I'm off to Reading with friends again this weekend and I'm certain they'll make sure I get the necessary boogie-ing and drinking done.

News Brief: Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Probe Concludes
By Rachel Martin
Since the beginning of his administration, President Trump has been resolute when it comes to one particular phrase - no collusion. It was special counsel Robert Mueller's job in part to find that out.
Now the special counsel's investigation is over. Trump and his White House now believe they have finally been exonerated, even though, on the point of obstruction of justice, the report says exactly the opposite. On Sunday, though, the attorney general, William Barr, sent his summary of Mueller's findings to Congress, two days after receiving it himself. And the same day, the president had this to say in Florida before boarding Air Force One.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It was just announced; there was no collusion with Russia - the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. There was no collusion with Russia. There was no obstruction, and none whatsoever.
MARTIN: The president there highlighting William Barr, the attorney general's, conclusion that the special counsel found no evidence that the presidential campaign had conspired with Russia to influence the election.
GREENE: But the issue of obstruction of justice is more complicated. In his four-page letter to Congress, the attorney general stated that Mueller did not draw a conclusion one way or the other on whether President Trump or anyone in his White House interfered during the investigation. And Democratic leaders in the House are not satisfied; they want the full Mueller report to be made public. So what does all this mean for the president, for Congress, for the Department of Justice, for the country? A lot of big questions to tackle, and we have a whole team to do it with us - NPR justice correspondent Carrie Johnson; we have Ayesha Rascoe, who covers the White House for NPR; and we have congressional correspondent Susan Davis. Hello to all of you. What a busy time.
CARRIE JOHNSON, BYLINE: Yeah, hi there.
SUSAN DAVIS, BYLINE: Good morning.
AYESHA RASCOE, BYLINE: Good morning.
GREENE: Carrie, let me start with you. I mean, you spent much of the weekend getting ready for and then looking over this letter from the attorney general. I mean, two years - the slogan from the White House - no collusion; is that essentially what this investigation has found?
JOHNSON: Important to point out, David - we still do not have the full report from the special counsel Robert Mueller.
GREENE: Right.
JOHNSON: Instead we have some very brief written conclusions written by the Attorney General Bill Barr. But Barr does include a partial quote from Mueller; the investigation did not establish members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities. In other words, Russia interfered, but no American tied to the Trump campaign knowingly coordinated with the Russian government, even though Russians had dozens of contacts with people in the Trump orbit in 2016.
GREENE: OK, well, take me then through this obstruction of justice question because it seemed like Mueller left that question open when it comes to President Trump. But then the attorney general is now saying that even though the question was open from the special counsel, he's not going to charge the president. So explain the reasoning here.
JOHNSON: This is the most intriguing part of this story to me; the attorney general says the special counsel didn't make a call one way or another about whether the president should be charged for obstructing justice. The special counsel report does say - and this is a quote - "while this report does not conclude the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." Instead, for reasons I still don't fully understand, the attorney general stepped in and answered this question; he said no to charging the president.
And here's why - the AG says he considered the fact the president was not involved in any underlying crime - the conspiracy over Russian interference - and the attorney general also points out a lot of what President Trump did, like firing the FBI director Jim Comey, a lot of that was done in public, out in the open.
But I've been talking with lawyers all night long - former Justice Department officials, Democrats and Republicans - and they say this looks a little strange. You can still be guilty of obstruction if there was no underlying crime. Doing things out in the open like Trump did doesn't matter for many legal purposes. And they don't understand why Mueller has decided not to answer that question. There's an open issue of whether he wanted Congress to answer that question, and the attorney general and DOJ stepped in anyway.
GREENE: A lot more to dig into, it sounds like.
JOHNSON: Right, absolutely.
MARTIN: So Ayesha, let's bring you into this conversation. Clearly, the White House is celebrating, dare we say crowing a bit. What's the president and his team saying? What are the president and his team saying this morning?
RASCOE: Well, they are saying that this is a complete exoneration for the president. Now, obviously, as Carrie was just mentioning, there are still questions out there, especially when it comes to obstruction. But this is a huge win for the president. It's been a cloud over his presidency. If this probe had went another way, it really would have raised some existential questions about his administration. So this is a big deal. But even though he feels - President Trump feels like he's been exonerated, he's still attacking the validity of the probe. Here's what he said after Barr's report was released.
TRUMP: This was an illegal takedown that failed.
MARTIN: Wow.
RASCOE: Yes (laughter).
MARTIN: So not just celebrating the fact that the conclusions bend in his favor, now he's suggesting that this was an illegal investigation to begin with?
RASCOE: From the beginning. And he's saying that the, quote, "other side" should be looked at; that will likely mean Democrats and, you know, kind of his opponents. And so this is something where he is taking a victory lap, but he's not exactly, you know, kind of now saying that Mueller is a great guy (laughter).
MARTIN: Right. It was a witch hunt then, and he's come up with a way to continue to criticize it, even though the overarching conclusions say that - you know, what the White House was looking for - that there was no collusion with Russia.
RASCOE: Yeah.
GREENE: Sue Davis, let me bring you in here. The so-called victory lap, the president coming out and saying total exonerations - are Republicans fully behind that message and that strategy with this president going forward, do you think?
DAVIS: Oh, absolutely. I think Republicans on Capitol Hill characterize this as a vindication of the president, echoing his no collusion, no obstruction lines. The top Republicans on the House Judiciary - House and Senate Judiciary Committees - Doug Collins of Georgia in the House, Lindsey Graham in the Senate - essentially called on Democrats to rethink their investigations into this administration, to move on to other issues. Graham said in a statement that the cloud has been lifted over this presidency.
Now, I mean, again, to be clear, the letter said that the president was not legally exonerated, but in the political orbit, I think a lot of Republicans see this as a political exoneration and very much rallying behind the president.
GREENE: So what do you do if you're Democrats now? I mean, Democrats, they've just took over the house. They've just started, you know, leading these committees and saying it's time to investigate. It's time to hold this president accountable. Now you have this report come out. You have Republicans saying, like, hey, the cloud's been lifted. Let's move on to more important topics. What kind of position are Democrats in right now?
DAVIS: Well, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, in a joint statement, made clear again that the principal findings alone are not enough. They want to see the full report. Although, I will say that a lot of Republicans and many in the House have echoed that call. There's not a big pushback from Republicans, especially now that they've seen the principal findings, that they would be happy to see a more full release of the report.
Jerry Nadler, the head of the judiciary committee, still wants Barr to testify. The chairman made clear yesterday they're going to continue these lines of investigation. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff did allude to one of the big fights coming on TV yesterday.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "FACE THE NATION")
ADAM SCHIFF: This report is going to have to be made public, and of equal importance, the underlying evidence is going to have to be shared with Congress because that evidence not only goes to the issue of criminality, but it also goes to the issue of compromise.
DAVIS: The fight over the underlying documents. Democrats want to see every piece of evidence that Robert Mueller looked at to draw his conclusions. They're probably not going to get all of that because some of it is not subjected to release. And there's other - going to be other fights. Clearly, they're going to keep going. I do think Democrats have to be very aware of the fact that the president has just been given, you know, a very clear win in a lot of ways, and if they continue to pursue this path, they do run the risk of looking like they are on a political fishing expedition.
GREENE: Well, Carrie Johnson, let me bring you in here. Is - I mean, the whole question of whether the entire report will be released, whether the attorney general might be called to testify before Congress - what is likely to happen?
JOHNSON: Well, the attorney general says he's going to be reviewing - along with special counsel Bob Mueller, the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein - this underlying report. They need to scrub the report for any grand jury material, any material that would implicate several ongoing investigations and also for classification issues, sources and methods. But AG Bill Barr seems to suggest he's planning to release something longer. It may take awhile, given that process. And the other thing we should point out is that Barr is very likely to have to testify. It's unclear at this point whether the special counsel, who's winding down his responsibilities, will also be called to Capitol Hill as well.
GREENE: Well, there was a lot of mention in this letter to an important question about whether to release this to the public, being whether a lot of what is in Mueller's report has bearing on other legal investigations happening. What else is out there still right now?
JOHNSON: There is a lot, David. The Southern District of New York, federal prosecutors in Manhattan have had this ongoing campaign finance investigation involving the president's former fixer, Michael Cohen, and payments to women who allege they had affairs with Trump and trying to cover that up, allegedly, during the 2016 campaign. There are investigations in Brooklyn, N.Y., in Washington, D.C., in Alexandria, Va., and elsewhere.
And then, David, there are also state officials on the trail of The Trump Organization and some people in Trump's orbit, like his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. State officials in New York in particular are hot and heavy on those investigations; no sign they're going to be ending anytime soon.
MARTIN: I want to close by picking up on something that Sue mentioned; that this may not be a legal exoneration but perhaps a political one for the president, which is important because 2020 is very close. So I guess I would ask Sue and Ayesha, I mean, what are the political ramifications for the election? I mean, first, Ayesha, just what does this mean for the president going forward? What does that mean for his base? How does he parlay this into a re-election?
RASCOE: Trump is going to use this to fuel his base, and he's going to use this as further evidence that the media and the Democrats - you know, this idea that they were all out to get him, that he's being treated unfairly. And when you talk about other investigations, what he's going to do is say that look at what happened with this one. Look at what happened with this investigation; all these other investigations are the same and that they're false. So this is what he's going to kind of hammer on. I think we're going to hear a lot about how he was cleared, and there was no collusion, and he always said that.
MARTIN: Yeah. Sue?
DAVIS: I think that the Democratic field was competitive before the letter. I think it still is. I think Democrats do not run on Russia as much as the president says they do. And there will be changes, but it's still a very competitive presidential election.
MARTIN: All right, NPR's Susan Davis. We had Ayesha Rascoe with us as well and NPR's Carrie Johnson. All three of you, thank you so much for your work and for sharing your reporting this morning. We appreciate it.
DAVIS: You're welcome.
JOHNSON: Happy to do it.
RASCOE: Thank you.

Paris-based studio Zagtoon has announced a co-pro deal with France's children's channel Gulli and Cabler AB for the new 102-1 series Rosie. Created by Raymond author Romain Gadiou, the toon centers on a mischievous young girl and her imaginary friend Blackie the sheep. The animation will be handled by Jean-Michel Spiner's animation studio 2Minutes.
The announcement was made today by Zagtoon founders Jacqueline Tordjman and Jeremy Zag. 'Jeremy and I are particularly proud of this series as it has not only been 100% financed in France but will be produced here too,' noted Tordjman.
The relatively newly established Zagtoon specializes in producing character driven, edutainment series for children for the international market and is a subsidiary of media holding company Univergroup.
