He was a space-age hero turned US senator.

Godspeed, once more, John Glenn. The astronaut and US senator whose circling of the Earth restored US pride at the dawn of the moon race, has died at age 95.
He was the first American to orbit the Earth, in the Friendship 7 mission in 1962, and the oldest man to ever fly into space, aboard the the space shuttle Discovery in 1998.
"Godspeed, John Glenn," intoned astronaut Scott Carpenter as the Mercury 7 capsule ascended into the heavens on its historic 1962 launch, a signature moment of the space race.
That second trip came while he was a US senator. He served Ohio there for 24 years.
"As we bow our heads and share our grief with his beloved wife, Annie, we must also turn to the skies, to salute his remarkable journeys and his long years of service to our state and nation," Ohio Gov. John Kasich said. "Though he soared deep into space and to the heights of Capitol Hill, his heart never strayed from his steadfast Ohio roots."
Ohio State University President Michael V. Drake said that "Glenn was a decorated U.S. Marine aviator, legendary NASA astronaut, tireless public servant, and an unparalleled supporter of The John Glenn College of Public Affairs at Ohio State, where he served actively as an adjunct professor until just recently. He was an authentic hero whose courage, integrity, sacrifice and achievements inspired people, young and old, around the world."
Elected officials, aviation historians and institutions, and other astronauts all mourned the loss.
Born in Cambridge, Ohio, Glenn enlisted in the Naval Aviation Cadet Program after Pearl Harbor, eventually transferring to the US Marines and flying combat missions during World War II. During the Korean War, he shot down three MiG-15 fighter jets days ahead of the 1953 armistice. In 1957, he made the world's first supersonic transcontinental flight, bringing him an early taste of fame that prepared him better than his colleagues for his NASA experience.
He joined the newly created NASA in 1958, at the dawn of the space age, selected for the first "Mercury 7" cadre of astronauts. His 1962 orbital flight was the third US launch into space, coming after the first suborbital flights by Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. But it was the big one, triggering an outsize ticker-tape parade that staggered even hardened New Yorkers with its adulation from a crowd of 4 million people.
"Out in the middle of the intersections were the policemen, the policemen they had heard about, New York's Finest, big tough looking men in blue greatcoats — and they were crying!" wrote Tom Wolfe in his history of the first astronauts, The Right Stuff.
Drawing nearly even with the Soviet Union in space after the shock of the 1957 Sputnik launch and early disappointments with rocket launches gave way to elation with Mercury 7's success, Smithsonian Air and Space Museum curator Michael Neufeld told BuzzFeed News.
John Glenn "is an inspiration to all Americans," President John Kennedy said in a nationwide address after the landing. Glenn was seen as the most humble and aw-shucks of the first set of astronauts, famously cautioning them about any illicit behavior that might reflect badly on NASA. He retired from the space agency in 1964.

Glenn was the prototype of the astronaut politician, a lion of the US Senate for 25 years, starting in 1974 and retiring in 1999, representing his home state of Ohio. He led efforts in countering nuclear proliferation and improving government operations. "He was a workhorse, not a celebrity senator," Logsdon said.
Glenn's political career however, was blighted by the 1989 "Keating Five" scandal, when the Senate ethics committee asked whether politicians had improperly interfered in the investigation of a savings and loan whose owner had made campaign contributions to them. Glenn was cleared of wrongdoing in the case, but admonished for "poor judgment" by the panel.
Until recently Glenn served actively as an adjunct professor at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at Ohio State University.
"He was an authentic hero whose courage, integrity, sacrifice and achievements inspired people, young and old, around the world," the university's president, Michael V. Drake, said in a statement.
President Obama released a statement saying the nation has "lost an icon and Michelle and I have lost a friend."
"When John Glenn blasted off from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas rocket in 1962, he lifted the hopes of a nation. And when his Friendship 7 spacecraft splashed down a few hours later, the first American to orbit the Earth reminded us that with courage and a spirit of discovery there's no limit to the heights we can reach together," Obama said in a statement.
Obama's statement continues, "John spent his life breaking barriers, from defending our freedom as a decorated Marine Corps fighter pilot in World War II and Korea, to setting a transcontinental speed record, to becoming, at age 77, the oldest human to touch the stars. John always had the right stuff, inspiring generations of scientists, engineers and astronauts who will take us to Mars and beyond — not just to visit, but to stay."
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted that Glenn "was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers."
Glenn is survived by his wife, Annie Glenn, 95, his childhood sweetheart who, he married in 1943; a son, John David, 69; and daughter, Carolyn Ann, 68; as well as two grandsons.

Wichita Falls man jailed again after lengthy foot chase
Posted: Dec 30, 2019 / 01:26 PM CST / Updated: Jan 9, 2020 / 11:09 AM CST
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A man arrested last summer for more than a dozen vehicle burglaries in Wichita Falls is back in jail after a long foot chase involving three tasings, a jump from a second-story window and a change of clothes.
Anthony Bowen, 23, is jailed for evading arrest, criminal trespass, resisting arrest, plus outstanding warrants.
It began Sunday afternoon when police saw a car in the wrong lane on Baylor with the driver talking to some pedestrians.
Two officers said one of the pedestrians gave a false name and they soon learned he was Bowen.
Officers said they told Bowen he had outstanding arrest warrants and he took off running.
An officer fired a taser into Bowen and said he fell, pulled the probes out and continued running.
The officers then tackled Bowen in a courtyard of apartments in the 1800 block of Baylor Street and said Bowen slipped out of their holds in the mud and kept running.
The officers said that as he jumped a fence, they fired another taser but it had no affect.
Officers lost Bowen on Warford Street. A woman later told officers that a man had just knocked on her door asking for water then ran upstairs into an apartment.
As more officers surrounded the building, they said Bowen jumped from the second story right in front of an officer, who proceeded to fire his taser at Bowen a third time. Bowen swatted it away and took off running again.
At some point during the chase, officers said Bowen changed all his clothes.
He was finally caught and arrested at 8th Street and Baylor Street.
Bowen has 11 previous arrests, including 14 separate charges of vehicle burglaries from last August after he and an accomplice were arrested in a suspected stolen car in Seymour.
UPDATE: January 20, 2021 11:55 p.m.
A fresh look at what was alleged to be a suicide by knife just over six years ago in Electra has put a man behind bars on a murder charge.

RB Jones-Drew signs with Raiders
RYAN O'HALLORAN
The Maurice Jones-Drew Era in Jacksonville ended Friday when the 29-year old running back/face of the Jaguars signed a three-year contract with the Oakland Raiders.
Jones-Drew leaves the Jaguars after eight seasons, a franchise record 81 touchdowns and 8,071 rushing yards, which is second in team history.
Joining the Raiders will represent a homecoming for Jones-Drew, who called it a blessing to "start my career in [his hometown of] Antioch and finish it in Oakland … for an organization I have loved since I was a little kid."
Jones-Drew will likely start training camp as a back-up to Darren McFadden, but the opportunity for playing time could be available since McFadden has yet to play a full NFL season because of injuries.
Jones-Drew's production has dipped the last two years because of his own injuries, but in a conference call with Bay Area reporters, he said he has "a ton left in the tank."
"People look at running backs and say, 'Oh, you're 29, you're done,'" he said. "But people don't take into account that I had major foot surgery [in December 2012] and came back to play the next year, which a lot of people don't do."
Jones-Drew admitted he has a "chip on my shoulder," and also fired one salvo at the franchise that drafted in the second round eight years ago.
"I know I felt like I was done wrong," he said of the Jaguars.
Jones-Drew didn't get specific but he could be referring to Khan's steadfast refusal to re-negotiate his contract in 2012 (Jones-Drew held out for 38 days), the team's decision to delay his inevitable foot surgery by at least a month later that year and their lack of interest in re-signing him this month.
Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said earlier this week at the NFL's Annual Meeting in Orlando he had not spoken to Jones-Drew's camp in two months. The team's stated strategy was to let Jones-Drew test the market and circle back to them at his choosing.
In reality, the Jaguars moved on from Jones-Drew - and probably vice versa - on March 11 when Caldwell signed running back Toby Gerhart to a three-year contract.
"He's a great player," owner Shad Khan said on Tuesday. "He's part of Jacksonville history and he's one of our iconic Jaguars players."
The Jaguars released a two-paragraph statement recognizing Jones-Drew once he officially joined the Raiders.
It read, in part: "Maurice's toughness, determination and competitive spirit on the field served as a great example to all of his teammates. ... His place in Jaguars history is firmly established and we look forward to honoring him in Jacksonville at the appropriate time in the future. … Of equal importance, Maurice was a great ambassador in the community and his foundation played a major role in making our city a better place for children."
Honoring Jones-Drew in the future could mean the team will put him in the Pride of the Jaguars once he retires.
Jones-Drew visited the Pittsburgh Steelers March 19-20 and was linked to New England, Miami and the Jets before Oakland emerged on Thursday.
Jones-Drew joins a Raiders team that has had 11 straight non-winning seasons but has loaded up on veteran players this month, acquiring quarterback Matt Schaub, receiver James Jones, linebacker LaMarr Woodley and defensive ends Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith.
His 2012 season over after six games because of a broken foot that required surgery, Jones-Drew averaged a career-low 3.4 yards per carry in 2013 and only 10 of his 234 attempts gained 12 or more yards.
Jones-Drew played for three head coaches, three front office chiefs and two owners after being selected No. 60 in the 2006 draft.
Among his accomplishments:
*The NFL rushing title in 2011 with a franchise-record 1,606 yards.
*A team record 68 rushing touchdowns.
*Twenty-seven 100-yard rushing games.
*Three Pro Bowl appearances.
When Fred Taylor was released after the 2008 season, Jones-Drew went to work as the team's feature back. As the starter, he rushed for 1,391 (2009), 1,324 (2010) and 1,606 yards (2011).
In 2011, he was unstoppable.
Although the team was terrible - Jack Del Rio was fired 11 games into the year (3-8 record) - Jones-Drew carried 343 times and averaged 4.7 yards per attempt to win the rushing title.
That was about it for Jones-Drew's highlights with the Jaguars.
With two years remaining on his contract, Jones-Drew wanted a new deal during the 2012 off-season but Khan declined. Jones-Drew didn't report to the Jaguars until a week before the regular season opener.
Jones-Drew's 2012 season ended early in the Jaguars' Week 6 game at Oakland when he sustained a Lisfranc foot injury that had him in a walking boot until April.
Jones-Drew was ready for training camp last July and although he played in 15 games, he was slowed by ankle and hamstring injuries and had only a single 100-yard game.

Blind Lemon Jefferson was a trail blazer, both as a singer and guitarist, but also as a commercial phenomenon, for he was the first blues musician to establish the tremendous appeal that blues, as played and sung by rural African American folk, had for the record-buying public. It is no exaggeration to say that the sales of Lemon's records paved the way for a host of other solo rural blues musicians to record in his wake and made the record companies more willing to give other musicians a chance, in the hopes of achieving similar success.
Lemon's record sales weren't what made him a great musician, though - that could only be attributed to his startlingly virtuosic guitar - playing and soulful singing, developed over years of busking, building on his natural gifts with a great deal of practice and work. In the Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson author John Miller presents transcriptions, in standard notation and tablature, of 22 of Lemon's greatest performances, with an additional essay examining Lemon's senses of time and phrasing and his picking techniques. Also included is a download link to all the original recordings.
To present a picture of Lemon the man, noted blues researchers Alan Governar and Kip Lornell have contributed an essay focusing on Lemon's early life, the origins of his music, and his time spent in a musical partnership with Lead Belly. Links are provided to downloadable performances of the songs in the book from which the transcriptions were made, so that you can have Lemon's sound in your head as you learn to play his songs.
Blind Lemon Jefferson was remarkable, even in a style that abounded in great musicians, and some measure of his influence can be seen in the fact that musicians recorded in the 1960s, more than thirty years after his death, were still covering his songs and stealing guitar licks from him. The Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson gives you the resources needed to learn what was so special about Lemon's music, and to experience his musical excellence from inside the music itself.

Steve Carey Music
"Steve Carey is one of the most talented and highly regarded musical artists the Washington, D.C. area popular music scene has ever produced. As a bassist, songwriter and musical collaborator, Carey has performed with a wide range of local and national musicians in the fields of blues, country, pop and rock and roll." - Mark Opsasnick, author of Rock The Potomac and Capitol Rock
Bassist / Songwriter
Steve Carey
Welcome to the website of Steve Carey from Greenbelt, Maryland.
Steve is excited to share his lastest project of original songs recorded and produced with Ray Tilkens at Ambient Recording in Laurel, Maryland.
Steve has been performing in and around the Washington D.C. area for over 50 years. He started out playing at local teen clubs with the Unknown Kind in the 1960's then helped form and played 19 years with the Open Road Band, 10 years with Big Bill and That's Cool and 11 years with the Joy B Band. Steve is currently playing with one of Wash D.C.'s premiere blues bands the Paulverizers.
Steve's new project is called "Living Life like a Song" and is a reflection of the different genres he's played over the years including Rock, Blues, Country and more.
It was during the early 1990's that Steve began to try his hand at songwriting. One of the first songs he wrote was a blues inspired tune called "Goin' Away Baby" that was first recorded with Big Bill and That's Cool. The current version was recorded with the JoyBBand and released on their 2013 CD "Just Livin" along with his other song on the CD called "Open Road". During the months of November 2014 thru February 2015 "Open Road" reached number one for six weeks on the Root Music Report's Weekly Top 50 Maryland Song Chart and number thirty six on their United States Song Chart.
Steve's upcoming CD "Living Life like a Song" is his first solo effort with the help of many friends. It was recorded, engineered and mastered by veteran guitarist Ray Tilkens. Ray plays on the CD and sings two of the songs that he co-wrote lyrics, "Lost and Found" and "True Love". The song "Promise of Love" was co written with James Stradley (lyrics) and Mark Chopper Land (music). James Stradley also contributed lyrics to "Peace of Mind". The CD has two instrumentals "Flyin' High" and "Sweet Surrender". Steve's song "Emily's Eyes" is dedicated to his Grandmother, who became blind about the time he was born. He wrote "Emily's Eyes" about her loving spirit and determination to not let her blindness defeat her.
Stay tuned for the cd release date of "Living Life like a Song" and in meantime enjoy the songs on this site.
*cd update - delayed by the pandemic Steve is heading back into the studio to finish a couple more songs with plans for a 2022 release date.

In this chapter, we will first provide a cross-case analysis, followed by the identification of critical elements of higher education reform, presented by policy stage. In doing so, we highlight the importance of the context in which these reforms unfold. We will conclude the chapter by offering a more general reflection on important aspects of (higher education) policy analysis.

The new trailer for Glass is officially released online. It was only last year M. Night Shyamalan's Split was regarded as a strong return-to-form for the director, who bounced back from disasters like The Last Airbender and After Earth. Not only did Split operate as a tense thriller on its own merits (with an acting tour de force by James McAvoy), it genuinely surprised audiences when the last scene revealed it took place in the same universe as Unbreakable - Shyamalan's fan-favorite superhero drama from 2000. As audiences left the theater buzzing, Shyamalan quickly put the pieces in place for a sequel to both films.
Speedily moving through production, Glass pits Bruce Willis' David Dunn (who apparently goes by the name The Overseer) against Kevin Wendell Crumb/The Beast (McAvoy) and his old nemesis, Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson). Just three months remain until the movie makes its way into theaters, meaning it's time for Universal to kick start the marketing campaign in earnest. The studio brought the first Glass trailer to San Diego Comic-Con this year, and now a new preview is available.
As expected, the trailer provides some more details about the story, which sees Elijah Price locked up in an institution of some kind where he's heavily sedated so the doctors maintain an upper hand against him. Things change when David and Kevin become patients there too, under the care of Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson), who has developed a so-called cure for what she perceives to be a "disorder" where individuals believe they have super powers. Elijah, mastermind he is, has other plans and teams up with The Beast in order to break out and show the world who they really are. An ulterior motive of Mr. Glass' looks to be helping Dunn reach his full potential; Elijah has always been fascinated by David's condition and in Unbreakable pushed him to become a superhero.
All in all, the trailer is quite successful in setting up the bare bones of the narrative, providing a surface level outline of the plot. If the previous films in this series are anything to go by, there will surely be deeper subtext and themes Shyamalan explores through these characters. But with anticipation already high for Glass, there's no need for marketing materials to reveal too much at once. Shyamalan commonly uses twists, so it'll be interesting to see if he came up with any surprises this time. Of course, even if Glass is just a straightforward drama, it seems like it'll be a rewarding and worthwhile theatrical experience.


After a short drive on a gravel road surrounded by oak trees, suddenly the wood ends and Iperbole country house appears in the distance: an ancient impressive stone house sitting on a hill facing the sunset in the most beautiful landscape of rolling hills and hill top villages, backed by magnificent Mount Amiata, Tuscany's highest mountain.
This wonderful view can be enjoyed from the house and garden and most of all from the tower that dominates these ancient walls.
This 800 sq.mts.Villa has been recently restored combining traditional materials as old cotto for the floors and oak beams for the ceilings with vintage furniture and contemporary art works.
The insulated large walls and the ventilated roof keep the house naturally cool during hot summer months. All kitchenware is highly professional making the preparation of meals a real pleasure.The house sleeps comfortably 11 people in 5 double bedrooms and 1 single each with its own bathroom.
The living area on the ground floor is very large with a kitchen area on one side, two dining tables accomodating up to16 guests and a sitting area at the opposite side with a charming stone fireplace and doors with direct access to the straw sheltered stone paved patio where a long table accomodates up to 20 guests.

Construction work begins on new generation of community fire stations
Work has started on three of five new community fire stations, which will be built in Cumbria thanks to an innovative public/private partnership involving three fire and rescue authorities in the North West.
February 24 saw the confirmation of the final financial closure that had been made between north west fire and rescue services and Balfour Beatty to build 16 community fire stations in the North West of England in a deal worth £48million. The PPP (Public Private Partnership) contract means that, along with Cumbria's five new stations, seven will be built in Merseyside and four in Lancashire.
Work has begun on the station at Patterdale, where the new station will be built on the site of the village's existing station. In addition, work has also started on the new stations at Carlisle East and Carlisle West. Carlisle's flood-hit station at Rickergate is being replaced with the two new city centre sites at Durranhill and Newtown.
A new station at Penrith station will be built at the Kemplay Bank roundabout in a project beginning in May 2011. The new station will also provide a new home for the county council's emergency planners who are responsible for helping to coordinate multi-agency responses to major incidents in Cumbria, as well as the Fire and Rescue Service strategic headquarters.
Workington's new fire station will be built next year at Moorclose, where comprehensive risk-mapping has identified a need for higher levels of fire cover.
The full work programme:
Patterdale - Work now started - Completion November 2011
Carlisle East - Work now started- Completion March 2012
Carlisle West - Work now started - Completion January 2012
Penrith - Work to begin May 2011 - Completion June 2012
Workington - Work to begin March 2012 - Completion March 2013
Cumbrian firm Border Construction will be working in partnership with Balfour Beatty to build all five Cumbrian sites.
The new Cumbrian stations will include enhanced training facilities and community rooms and replace some of the authority's oldest regular stations, accommodating the changing needs and modern practices of the Service.
The new stations at Carlisle East and Workington will also include office accommodation for locality management, community safety and fire protection departments, as well as enhanced training facilities for operational firefighters.
Penrith will also include improved operational response facilities, the Fire and Rescue Service Learning and Development Centre, enhanced training facilities, office accommodation for the county council Resilience Unit, and an Emergency Coordination Centre.
Cumbria County Councillor Gary Strong, Cabinet member for Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, said: "It's a great feeling to be able to get cracking on these much needed improvements now that all the legal and financial preparation and agreements have been completed. The work programme has been carefully planned to avoid any disruption to existing service delivery. This is fantastic news for the service, our staff and most importantly the people of Cumbria who will benefit from the new community facilities we are creating."

Homer S Odyssey
📒 Author : Gwen Cooper
📒 Publisher : Delacorte Press
SYNOPSIS : BONUS: This edition contains a new afterword and an excerpt from Gwen Cooper's Love Saves the Day. ONCE IN NINE LIVES, SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENS. The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. Then Gwen's veterinarian called with a story about a three-week-old eyeless kitten who'd been abandoned. It was love at first sight. Everyone warned that Homer would always be an "underachiever." But the kitten nobody believed in quickly grew into a three-pound dynamo with a giant heart who eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path. Homer scaled seven-foot bookcases with ease, survived being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Center, and even saved Gwen's life when he chased off an intruder who broke into their home in the middle of the night. But it was Homer's unswerving loyalty, his infinite capacity for love, and his joy in the face of all obstacles that transformed Gwen's life. And by the time she met the man she would marry, she realized that Homer had taught her the most valuable lesson of all: Love isn't something you see with your eyes.

📒 Author : Lee Child

For the only way to find the truth—and save two innocent lives—is to do it the way Jack Reacher does it best: the hard way…. Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away.

Bob Sagets Wife Asks Elon Musk to Re-Verify 'Full House' Stars Twitter Page, One Year After His Death: 'He'd Be Bummed About This
Kelly Rizzo, the widow of "Full House" star and comedian Bob Saget, marked the one-year anniversary of his death by taking to Twitter to ask owner Elon Musk to reinstate a verified check mark on Saget's account. Saget's Twitter account still boasts 2.2 million follower. The page has not been active since Saget's passing last January and lost its verified check mark sometime in the last year.
"Hi, Elon Musk – today on the one year anniversary of Bob's passing, I saw he's no longer verified?" Rizzo wrote on her own Twitter account. "My husband truly loved Twitter. Out of respect for his legacy, can something be done? Thank you kindly (friends, please help)."
"And the only reason I'm addressing this at all is because I know Bob would be very bummed about this," Rizzo added. "He'd say, 'Hey, if someone goes to see my page and all the jokes I've tweeted over the years, how will they know it's for sure me!?'"
Saget passed away Jan. 9, 2021 at the age of 65. The comedian was in Florida at the time and just kickstarted a new comedy tour. The "Full House" star's family confirmed to Variety a few weeks after his passing that he died from head trauma. Authorities concluded that Saget "accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved."
Saget was best known for playing father Danny Tanner on the '90s sitcom "Full House," where he taught life lessons to daughters D.J. (Candace Cameron), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle Tanner (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen). He starred opposite John Stamos, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin, and many of the cast members paid tribute to him after his passing.
"Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family," the cast wrote in a statement at the time. "Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob. He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob's honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob."
Musk has yet to respond to Rizzo's request. Read her comments in the posts below.

"Dynel Lane will spend the rest of her life in prison and rightfully so," Rep. Mike Foote (D-LaFayette) said in an email to Rewire.
Lane lured Michelle Wilkins to her home with a Craigslist advertisement for baby clothes. She then beat Wilkins unconscious and reportedly used two knives to remove the fetus.
A question remained for some after a Colorado woman was sentenced Friday to 100 years in prison for cutting a fetus from a pregnant person: Was her punishment sufficient?
Under a state law, Dynel Lane was convicted of additional penalties, on top of attempted murder and other charges, for assaulting a pregnant person, Michelle Wilkins.
But because the statute does not give "personhood" legal standing to a fetus, prosecutors could not bring murder charges and possibly the death penalty against Lane, who destroyed Wilkins' fetus.
Pro-choice advocates say the 2013 law protects the civil rights of pregnant people by shielding them from potentially wrongful prosecution while still subjecting people like Lane to severe sentences, like the 100-year prison term she received.
But anti-choice activists argue that Lane should have faced murder charges for her violent act.
Lane lured Wilkins to her home with a Craigslist advertisement for baby clothes. She then beat Wilkins unconscious and reportedly used two knives to remove the fetus.
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett asked Chief District Judge Maria Berkenkotter for a 118-year sentence, saying, "It won't bring [Wilkins' fetus] back, but it will send a message about human life," according to the Post.
Republican legislators in Colorado have repeatedly advocated for legislation that would give legal rights to a fetus, including a legislative push after Lane attacked Wilkins in 2015.
Democrats defeated the GOP measure, arguing that it could be used to take away abortion rights and to prosecute pregnant people for reckless endangerment, if they damaged a fetus.
Colorado voters overwhelmingly rejected a 2014 fetal "personhood" initiative that would have given legal standing to fetuses. The measure would have given broad legal rights to fetuses as well—and would have banned legal abortion care in the state.
Wilkins indicated to reporters that she felt justice was achieved in the case after Lane's conviction in February on all six counts she faced, including multiple felonies.

Hablan de la muerte, no para indicar el fin, sino la renovación, el eslabón entre las generaciones y la continuación: el padre - relación entre dos Franciscos, iguales en el nombre y en el destino, y otro progenitor - nace el día de la muerte muerte de ese primer Lázaro; el hijo, nieto de su homónimo, muere el día en que su mujer da a luz.

La obra representa una familia de Benfica (Lisboa) y se dirige a la muerte como no sólo al final, sino también la continuidad a través del legado vivo. La muerte como destino irremediable de la vida y nueva vida después de la muerte. Un ciclo que se repite ininterrumpidamente.

Relata tanto el lado negro como luminoso de los vínculos entre familiares cuyas algunas de las vivencias más importantes se suceden en un espacio de un taller llamado cementerio de pianos que alberga pianos "muertos" cuyas piezas van a dar vida a nuevos pianos.

El corredor de maratón portugués Francisco Lázaro fue la inspiración para el personaje principal de esta novela, que comparte su nombre y parte de su historia.

Base on Strasbourg Court judgment, Russia has to pay 10 million euros to Georgian nationals
Today, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights has announced the judgment concerning Georgian citizens' deportation from Russia. According to judgment, Russia has to pay Georgia 10,000,000 euros in respect of non-pecuniary damage sustained by a group of at least 1,500 Georgian nationals.
In its judgment on the merits of 3 July 2014 the Court had ruled that in autumn 2006 the Russian authorities had implemented a coordinated policy of arresting, detaining and expelling Georgian nationals, amounting to an administrative practice contrary to the Convention.
In today's Grand Chamber judgment in the case of Georgia v. Russia the European Court of Human Rights held, by sixteen votes to one, that Russia had to pay Georgia 10,000,000 euros (EUR) in respect of non-pecuniary damage suffered by a group of at least 1,500 Georgian nationals. That amount was to be distributed to the individual victims by paying EUR 2,000 to the Georgian nationals who had been victims only of a violation of Article 4 of Protocol No. 4 (collective expulsion), and EUR 10,000 to EUR 15,000 to those among them who had also been victims of a violation of Article 5 § 1 (unlawful deprivation of liberty) and Article 3 (inhuman and degrading conditions of detention) of the European Convention on Human Rights, taking into account the length of their respective periods of detention.

Cardinal Tobin: McCarrick's resignation necessary for accountability
Cardinal Tobin.
Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark responded Saturday to Archbishop Theodore McCarrick's resignation from the college of cardinals, which came amid numerous allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Tobin called for continued accountability in addressing sexual abuse claims.
"This latest news is a necessary step for the Church to hold itself accountable for sexual abuse and harassment perpetrated by its ministers, no matter their rank," Tobin said in a statement.
He asked the faithful "to pray for all who may have been harmed by the former Cardinal, and to pray for him as well."
Pope Francis accepted Cardinal McCarrick's resignation from the College of Cardinals on Saturday. The pope directed McCarrick, the 88-year-old former Archbishop of Washington, to observe "a life of prayer and penance in seclusion" until the end of the canonical process against him.
A substantial and credible allegation of child sexual abuse against McCarrick was made public in June.
In recent weeks, McCarrick has faced several additional allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct. These include charges that he pressured seminarians and priests into sexual relationships, and another reported allegation that he had a serially sexually abusive relationship with a child.
Cardinal Tobin noted that news of the resignation "will impact the Catholic community of the Archdiocese of Newark with particular force."
The Archdiocese of Newark is one of two New Jersey dioceses to pay settlements to two men who claim they were sexually assaulted by McCarrick while they were seminarians and young priests. McCarrick was then permitted to continue to function publicly as a cardinal.
Tobin took over as Archbishop of Newark in 2017, a decade after the archdiocese reached the settlement in the McCarrick case.
Since the allegations against McCarrick were announced, questions have been raised about whether any other bishops – including Tobin – were aware of the settlements and had spoken up about them. Tobin's statement did not address those settlements.
