MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Two of the men arrested in connection with the killing of rapper Young Dolph had a history of violent crime, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Authorities also said that they have not yet identified a motive for the shooting. Young Dolph, whose real name was Adolph Thornton Jr., was gunned down in a daylight ambush at a popular cookie shop in Memphis on Nov. 17.
Justin Johnson, who was captured Tuesday in Indiana, nearly two months after the slaying, was held in juvenile custody after he was tried at age 17 on charges of aggravated rape and aggravated robbery, Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich told a news conference. He also served time for shooting three people at a bowling alley and had been arrested on state drug and weapons charges, Weirich said.
Johnson, now 23, was traveling on a highway in Indiana on Tuesday when he was stopped and arrested outside of Terre Haute by authorities from the U.S. Marshals office, U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller said. Johnson is being held on a federal probation violation and appeared before a federal magistrate in Indiana on Wednesday, Miller said. Authorities had issued an arrest warrant for him on first-degree murder and other charges. He will be extradited to Memphis, Miller said.
A passenger in the car, Shondale Barnett, 27, was also arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder and is awaiting extradition to Tennessee, Miller said.
Cornelius Smith, 32, served three years for attempted robbery and aggravated assault, Weirich said. He was arrested last month on an auto-theft warrant involving the vehicle used in Young Dolph's killing, and a grand jury indicted him on first-degree murder and other charges on Tuesday. He's being held in Shelby County jail in Memphis.
Police previously said two men got out of a white Mercedes-Benz and fired shots into Makeda's Homemade Cookies bakery where Young Dolph, 36, was buying cookies, and killed him. Police released photos taken from surveillance video that captured the shooting. Memphis Police Director Cerelyn "CJ" Davis said Wednesday that she could not provide details on evidence or provide a theory about a motive in the shooting.
"We're just not ready to put that out there right now," she said.
Authorities said they received more than 500 tips from people in Indianapolis, Houston, Dallas, and the state of Virginia.
"It's a major case," Miller said. "It's a big deal."
The shooting stunned Memphis and shocked the entertainment world. City officials and community activists pointed to the killing as a symbol of the dangers of gun violence in Memphis, where more than 300 homicides were reported last year.

Young Dolph was admired for charitable works in Memphis. He organized Thanksgiving food giveaways, donated thousands of dollars to high schools, and paid rent and covered funeral costs for people in the Castalia Heights neighborhood where he was raised. When he was killed, the 36-year-old rapper was in Memphis to hand out Thanksgiving turkeys and visit a cancer center.
A private funeral was held on Nov. 30 and a section of a street in the neighborhood where he grew up was renamed for him Dec. 15. He also was honored at a public celebration at FedExForum, the home of the NBA's Memphis Grizzles and the University of Memphis men's basketball team.

Young Dolph was born in Chicago and moved to Memphis with his parents when he was 2.
He had three albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, with 2020's "Rich Slave" peaking at No. 4.
Young Dolph had survived previous shootings. He was shot multiple times in September 2017 after a fight outside a Los Angeles hotel. In February of that year, his SUV was shot at in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 100 times. He said he survived because he had bulletproof panels in his vehicle.

A project aims to halt the decline of the endemic and endangered pangolin species.
Key stakeholders have come together to create the first conservation strategy for the Philippine pangolin, Manis culionensis, a species which is threatened with extinction.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL), IUCN Pangolin Specialist Group, indigenous peoples, Katala Foundation Inc. and the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development, have set out a number of key objectives for the project, such as using local ecological knowledge surveys to identify key pangolin conservation areas, and reducing pangolin trafficking.
"We know at least 1,000 Philippine pangolins have been illegally traded since 2000, despite international trade bans," says Godofredo Villapando, ZSL Philippines country manager.
The Philippine pangolin is found in the Palawan faunal region, an area which has many endemic species, including the pangolin, the Palawan bearded pig and the Philippine mouse-deer.
Like many pangolin species, they are captured and traded for the use of their scales in traditional Chinese medicine and as a luxury food item.
Prices have increased recently for live animals, leading to an increase in the Philippine pangolin being caught and traded.
"Based on recent seizures, we know that the Philippine pangolin is hunted and traded in the region," says Lucy Archer, pangolin researcher at ZSL.

Tribute Acts - Pop
Tribute to CELINE DION
With a list of credits that include singer, MTV video dancer, songwriter, producer, voice coach and television and film music composer, Elisa now takes the reigns as one of the worlds leading Celine Dion Impersonators.
From the moment that Celine Dion's songs became popular and Elisa started performing them in her cover bands, she and others immediately began to recognize the similarity in their voices. No matter where she was performing, when she performed a Celine song, people would stop in their tracks to hear her finish the song and would often come up and hand her money after the song. "It just made people want to tip me, which is fine with me." She jokes. She also states that her natural voice sounded like Celines before she had ever even heard of the fabulous Celine Dion.
When you experience Elisa perform her "Tribute to Celine" show, from the onset of the first beat of the music, Elisa enters the stage with a passion and fervor like no other performer.
With a magnetic stage presence and gorgeous custom made costumes, Elisa sails her way through an exciting set of Celine's greatest hits playing to the audience as only Celine seems to be able to do.
Elisa absolutely sings from her heart putting herself out there baring her soul for all to see. When you experience her sing with such power, you often wonder how she accomplishes such range. She hits the high notes with the same Power that Celine does leaving many to wonder if she is actually lip- synching. Singing the songs with natural ease, she gets the crowds pumping with "Love Can Move Mountains", "I'm alive" and dances around the audience to "River Deep, Mountain High". Inevitably, there is not a dry eye in the house as she powerfully holds that last long high note of "The Power of Love" and breathlessly ends the final phrase of "My heart will go on".
What to expect from the "Tribute to Celine show?" Elisa as miss Celine Dion, singing and performing in her unique poses and positions, executing Celine's facial expressions and the way she speaks with her French Accent, wearing her replicated costumes and of course the icing on the cake, the almost identical singing voice . She has recently been hailed as the premiere Celine sound-alike of the United States.
Her rapport with the audience is natural and comedic featuring original monologues every time. Her eye to eye contact with the audience has every person feeling like she is singing only to them and makes them feel connected and very much a part of the show. It is not unusual to see a few people crying, who are just experiencing an overwhelming emotion.
Whether she is performing solo with tracks or commanding the stage with a band and her cast of back-up dancers, Elisa Furr can definitely fill Celine Dion's shoes as no other impersonator can. You will not be disappointed. Seeing is Believing…

Indonesian Presidential Election 2019 – Prabowo Subianto: Reluctant Yet Strong Contender
CO19009 | Indonesian Presidential Election 2019 – Prabowo Subianto: Reluctant Yet Strong Contender

Prabowo Subianto enters the 2019 Indonesian presidential election with less elite support and financial resources compared to incumbent president Joko Widodo. However, he has gained strong backing at the grassroots level by tapping the mobilising power of the conservative Islamic figures and organisations.
PRABOWO SUBIANTO enters the 2019 Indonesian presidential election with lukewarm elite support as well as lack of financial resources to fund his campaign. This is in contrast to his opponent – incumbent president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) – who has gathered endorsements from the majority of political parties, national and regional politicians, retired military officers, and other notables.
Having entered the presidential contest in every election since 2004, Prabowo does not seem to spend a lot of time on the campaign trail this election and also does not have the large pool of campaign aides he used to have in previous elections. Instead, Sandiaga Uno, his vice presidential running mate, has been travelling widely across Indonesia to give stump speeches and pay visits to markets, mosques, and other campaign sites. Sandiaga, a 49-year-old businessman who is one of the richest in Indonesia, is also presumed to have provided much of the financing for Prabowo's campaign.
The Seemingly Lacklustre Campaign
Observers have noted that unlike in previous elections, neither Prabowo nor his brother Hashim Djojohadikusumo, has committed significant financial resources from their own coffers this time.
Indeed, Prabowo seems to have difficulty raising funds from big donors – tycoons and large corporations – which tend to favour the status quo and throw their support behind Jokowi. A gala dinner held in Jakarta in late November 2018 to raise money from a group of Chinese Indonesian tycoons collected less than 500 million Rupiahs (S$47,990) – a paltry sum compared to fundraising activities conducted by him during the 2014 presidential election.
The lack of funding and enthusiasm for the Prabowo campaign has stagnated his popularity ratings. Tempo magazine reported last month that even in surveys commissioned by his own campaign team, Prabowo's electability hovers around 20 to 32 percent – a far cry from Jokowi's.
However, writing off Prabowo's chances might be a premature move, as he still commands strong support at the grassroots level, mainly from conservative Muslim activists and organisations that were part of the 2016/17 Defending Islam movement against former Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. They constituted Prabowo's hardcore supporters who have tirelessly worked to support his campaign and are responsible for his strong showings in a number of key provinces.
Links with the Defending Islam Movement
Prabowo's core supporters come from modernist-oriented, theologically conservative Muslim clerics, activists, and organisations. They include not only hardline Islamist organisations like Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and Islamic Followers Forum (FUI), but also activists of more mainstream Islamic groups like Muhammadiyah; Daniel Anzar Simandjuntak, former chairman of Muhammadiyah's youth wing who now serves as the campaign's chief spokesperson.
He is also backed by two Islamist parties – the National Mandate Party (PAN) affiliated with Muhammadiyah and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).
These activists were linked together by their activities with the 2016/17 Defending Islam movement under the GNPF Ulama banner and in the #2019ChangePresident (#2019GantiPresiden) movement that gained steam last year. While the latter movement is technically separate from the Prabowo campaign, it has a clear aim to replace Jokowi in the 2019 general election and has unambiguously endorsed Prabowo's presidential bid.
Finally, Prabowo has gained the support of many former government officials and retired military officers who used to be part of the Jokowi administration but have now been sidelined for one reason or another. They include Sudirman Said (former Minister of Energy and Natural Resources), Rizal Ramli (former Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs), and retired General Gatot Nurmantyo (former TNI Chief of Staff).
Having these former senior officials on board give the Prabowo campaign more clout to attack Jokowi's policy (particularly his economic policy) as a failure as well as giving legitimacy to Prabowo's proposed "People's Economy" (Ekonomi Kerakyatan), which is promoted as an alternative to the liberal economic policies adopted by the administration.
Identity Politics Remains Salient
However, as Prabowo's strongest supporters are the conservative Islamic activists and organisations, his campaign continues to base its strategy on attacks questioning Jokowi's Islamic credentials and his policies that allegedly undermine the interests of the majority of Muslim followers (ummah) in Indonesia.
That is why the campaign has tacitly supported Islamic mobilisation efforts – including by the Action to Defend the Oneness of God (Aksi Bela Tauhid) conducted in October and November 2018 to protest the alleged burning of a flag containing the Islamic article of faith by an activist of Ansor – Nahdlatul Ulama's youth wing. In other demonstrations the campaign's involvement is more overt.
Prabowo appeared as a keynote speaker in the second anniversary of the Defending Islam movement on 4 December 2018 at Jakarta's National Monument park, in front of an approximately one million protesters.
Prabowo's campaign supports these rallies in order to energise its primary base and constituency. At the same time, however, it assures identity politics continue to play an important role during the election campaigns, promoting further polarisation and divisions within the Indonesian society.
Nevertheless, the tactic works to assure Prabowo is leading in the polls in a number of key provinces with significant numbers of observant Muslim population (for instance in West Sumatra and Banten) or is running neck-and-neck with Jokowi in others (for instance in West Java, North Sumatra and South Sulawesi).
Notwithstanding Prabowo's lacklustre enthusiasm and financial support, this does not mean he does not stand any chance to win in April's general election. Prabowo has many hardcore supporters who are highly committed and dedicated to carry him to victory. They can potentially make up for his lack of other resources in order to stage a potential upset in the coming presidential election.

Surface representation of DPP-IV designed in PyMol from PDB 1X70. Red and blue represent individual chains of dimer with the ligand bound in yellow.
Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (commonly abbreviated as DPP IV or CD26) is a regulatory protease and binding glycoprotein that carries out numerous functions in humans. DPP IV, discovered by V.K. Hopsu-Havu and G.G. Glenner in homogenized rat liver tissue[1], was originally believed to serve a specific role in breaking 2-Naphthylamine off of Gly-Pro-2-napthylamide, hence its original name glycylproline napthylamidase. However, further research into the specificity of DPP IV showed that it serves a more generic function as a hydrolase (a serine exopeptidase), primarily cleaving N-terminal Xaa-Pro bonds, but also capable of cleaving N-terminal Xaa-Ala bonds. DPP IV is the founding member of the DPP-IV and/or structure homologue (DASH) family, who all share this serine protease catalysis of post-proline peptide bonds. [2] These penultimate prolines of the N-terminus are known for their ability to resist attacks from most proteases and also induce a conformational change in their respective proteins, making DPP IV a unique protease for its ability to cleave this site.[3]
DPP IV also serves as a binding glycoprotein on the membrane of cells, binding ligands such as adenosine deaminase with high affinity.[3] Though this interaction currently has no known significance, DPP IV and its ability to catalyze N-terminal prolines gives it a unique specificity and target for pharmaceutical companies. [1]
Biological Dimer of DPP IV (PDB: 1X70
Binding Pocket
The specificity of the DPP IV for proline from other amino acids can be seen in the where two glutamates, orient the substrate allowing only small residues like proline or alanine to fit. The substrate shown here, , is a common drug used to inhibit DPP IV. The glutamates form a salt bridge with the N-terminus, positioning the substrate so that only two amino acids can fit into position for hydrolysis. [3] Examples of DPP IV substrates with alanine or proline at their N-terminus are:
N-terminus
GLP-1
His-Ala-Glu- Increases insulin secretion; decreases glucagon secretion
His-Ala-Asp- Increases insulin secretion; decreases glucagon secretion
Tyr-Pro-Ser- Vasoconstrictor; growth of fat tissue
CXCL12
Lys-Pro-Val Chemotaxis of lymphocytes; angiogenesis
Table 1: Common DPP IV substrates and with Xaa-Pro or Xaa-Ala bonds and their respective functions. [3]
Active Site
These substrates, along with many others, are cleaved by DPP IV using an active site containing a catalytic triad composed of . This Serine-Histidine-Asparatate motif, best known in the enzyme chymotrypsin, uses acid-base chemistry to facilitate the binding, cleaving, and release of the given substrate.[3] The mechanism of the reaction is as follows:
Substrate binds to enzyme and carbonyl carbon is positioned by active site.
Histidine, via hydrogen bond with asparatate, becomes more electronegative and therefore readily accepts the hydrogen from the hydroxyl group on serine, making it more nucleophilic.
General arrow pushing mechanism for serine proteases.
The nucleophilic serine attacks the carbonyl carbon, generating a tetrahedral intermediate (as seen in the arrow pushing mechanism).
The peptide bond is cleaved and the electrons from it move to attack the hydrogen on the histidine. This half of the substrate now dissociates, leaving the other half still covalently bound to serine.
Histidine then deprotonates a water molecule, forming a nucleophilic hydroxide group that attacks the serine-bound carbonyl carbon.
As the electrons move from the oxygen back down to reform the double bond, serine dissociates as a leaving group and the other half of the substrate dissociates from the enzyme.
The negative oxygen on serine readily accepts the hydrogen from histidine and in doing so regenerates the active site of the enzyme.
In addition to the glutamates holding the substrate in close proximity, and the catalytic triad using acid base chemistry to cleave the peptide bond, there is a tyrosine, , which is depicted in orange and notably only 4.08 angstroms away from the substrate, Sitagliptin. Based off of the crystal structure, this tyrosine is believed to stabilize the tetrahedral oxyanion intermediate, another important function in enzymatic processes. [4] The active site in its entirety is considered to contain residues 39-51 and 501-766 and is known as the
Lastly, the (colored by monomer) of DPP IV is critical to the catalytic function. The hydrolase domain and the propeller domain are involved in the dimerization of DPP IV. Residues like provide hydrophobic interactions that are essential for forming the dimer. [5] Though whole domains play key roles in the formation of this dimer, single residues like have also been shown to be key to formation of the dimer. If point mutated to glutamate, the dimer will not form. The ionic interactions of the histidine with the opposing chain are changed from electrostatically positive to a repulsive effect thus eliminating the ability to dimerize. [3]
Propeller Domain
Though DPP IV's primary function is as a hydrolase, it also serves as a transmembrane glycoprotein on the surface of cells. A specific domain, the , works in binding the most well known DPP IV ligand, adenosine deaminase (or ADA). The 8-bladed β-propeller of DPP IV is unique among the more common 7-bladed propellers of other leucocyte surface molecules.[3] ADA can bind to either the monomer or dimer of DPP IV because each monomer contains the 8-bladed propeller domain. ADA actually binds to the lower side of this domain, with three important residues being , at the fourth and fifth propeller. Adenosine deaminase works to deaminate adenosine into inosine, an important function in purine metabolism[1], however it's most important role in humans deals with the immune system.[3] ADA is a well understood enzyme that is highly conserved across numerous species in the body[3], yet it's binding to DPP IV is not completely understood, especially the biological importance of the interaction. One theory is that binding ADA to the DPP IV glycoprotein inhibits its catalytic function, increasing the concentration of extracellular adenosine which plays a role in T-cell proliferation. [3]
Medical Relevancy
DPP IV is found in diverse tissue types and is involved in various biological functions. The activity of DPP IV has been studied in fields like immunology, endocrinology, and the biology of cancers. [3] The ability of DPP IV to inactivate incretins glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) have made it a potential drug target for the treatment of Type II Diabetes. GLP-1 and GIP promote glucose uptake, decrease the gastric emptying rate and inhibit glucagon secretion. These actions are all desired when it comes to treating Type II diabetes, but the problem is that DPP IV inactivates GLP-1 and GIP very rapidly (the half-lives of GLP-1 and GIP are less than two minutes). [6] DPP IV inhibitors prevent DPP IV from inactivating GLP-1 and GIP, which results in improved glucose tolerance, improved pancreatic islet cell function, and a decrease in blood glucose levels. The decrease in blood glucose is associated with increased levels of active circulating GLP-1 and a reduction of glucagon. [7] , also known as Januvia, is a DPP IV inhibitor that's in the incretin mimetic class. It was approved by the FDA for the treatment of type II diabetes in 2006. When given to control subjects, Sitagliptin increases plasma concentrations of GLP-1. Sitagliptin was approved to be used in combination with metformin in 2007. [8] A study done by Williams-Herman et. al showed that initial combination therapy with metformin and sitagliptin resulted in lower blood glucose concentrations at each metformin dose studied than mono therapy of metformin. A majority of the patients in the combination therapy group maintained the desired blood glucose concentration of <7% at the end of the two-year trial period. [9] This is noteworthy because it's more difficult for people to meet their glycemic goals long term as the disease progresses. Sitagliptin was approved to be administered with sulfonylureas in 2008, which are insulin-secreting agents. Combination therapy of these two drugs requires close monitoring and adjustment of the sulfonylurea dose to prevent hypoglycemia [10]. Statins, like simvastatin, which help lower cholesterol levels, are also frequently prescribed to patients with Type II diabetes in addition to DPP IV inhibitors like sitagliptin. [10]

Coats of Culture is a series of one-of-a-kind elaborate coats inspired by my travels. I was moved to pay tribute to the great beauty of diversity that different cultures bring to our world. The coats have been exhibited throughout the US including the prestigous Bernina Fashion Show and Fairfield Fashion Show. The coats have won numerous awards and been published in Fiber Arts Design Book Six and Seven, Belle Amoire magazine and Somerset Studio publications among others.
Through traveling to various countries myself, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in several cultures. I was touched by their similarities, not their differences. I realized most people of the earth want to have a good life for themselves and their families. I saw this in their creative expressions: craftsman still producing works in wood, fiber, metal, stone, as they have for centuries. Art remains a very alive and essential part of many cultures.
The coats were made utilizing a variety of surface design techniques. They were a chance to experiment and to explore various surface design techniques including painting, dying, shibori, stenciling, phototransfer, quilting, applique, embroidery. Each coat has generally been constructed after traveling to a particular country, studying its culture through my personal immersion. While traveling I gather fabrics, beads, buttons, design motifs, woodblocks, taking lots of impressions as well as hundreds of photographs. Upon returning home, I put everything out that has been gathered and let ideas percolate. I try to capture something essential about the culture that I have been privileged to visit.

Its been a while since TechFest and although the sheer romance of my time there still lives on in the beats of my heart and the haemoglobin it pumps, I still have still have several Journalistic obligations, made there, to fulfil.
One of those was to bring to you the short interview I managed to grab with the planets only purveyors of pure Scouse Tech Metal; Carcer City. They are without doubt or hesitation one of the UK's hardest working bands and with a live show that needs to be seen to be believed, let them captivate you when they visit your local venue.
But here in their own words are Carcer City.
– How has the last year been for you guys?
Patrick Pinion (vox): Well you rewind a year and we were in a very different situation; we had no drummer, no guitarist. We were like "How do we look to carry on from this?" and then we thought, we've just got to get our heads down, Deal with it. We got some new guys in; learnt a new set, wrote a new album. And now we are here.
– With the new guys coming on board, have there been new influences? Not necessarily in the writing but how you approach the performance of it?
PP: I wouldn't say there were new influences, but that I'm not afraid to include those influences anymore. Its more like: I need to write an album that is completely what I want to do and I think that gives it a sense of identity and makes it a bit more cohesive.
Kyle Reilly (Drums): The unity within the band is definitely there now. Obviously we get aabit stressed out now and then but from what I heard it used to be like, we are all on the same page pulling together.
Lewis Hughes (guitar): we're all working to the same goal, we all want it. Thats the point, at the end of the day: We're 5 lads, trying to live the dream and we all want it!
KR: We've all quit our jobs, we're touring the year out solid.
– That sense of unity really comes across on stage. You can see the way the people respond to it.
PP: I think we're also very harsh on ourselves and we're like "How can we make our show better? Lets analyse it! What's it about?" There's so much more than being able to play the songs. Its a visual thing, you got to entertain people through every sense.
– Entertain them against their will, almost?
PP: Exactly! Be so good they can't ignore you.
PP: Its looking good!! I don't wanna say too much, but you'll see, you'll see.
– When I heard the song that you were filming the video for I got a real strong 80's vibe from it. It sounded to me like an intense Metal version of Spandau Ballet and Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
– I said to myself "Is this some harcore 80's pop song that I've not heard?" There was a secret compilation and this was on it. Its power was incredible. What is the estimated time for release of the single?
PP: We're looking towards the end of the year I think. Maybe when we get 20-000 likes on Facebook.
LH: I mean we just want it to out. We could finish the video early and have the single ready but you have got to release things at the right time.
PP: A tactical launch, To synch up with tours and loads of other things.
KR: With this single we really want to let people know that Carcer are back and when the album hits, its going to be built up right, so everyone knows about it.
PP: All you need to know is that the Cogs are turning! Its on its way people, its on its way.
– One last question, the name Carcer City, what does it mean and where does it come from?
PP: Well, Carcer City is taken from the fictional Grand Theft Auto Universe, its a prison city. And its also a Latin translation Carcer – as in In-Carcer-ated; imprisoned. So we like that because it not only has the G.T.A reference but also that it portrayed our desire to break out of our city [Liverpool]. We don't just want to be a local band, we want to travel, meet new people, see new places, really experience life through playing music.
Carcer City are on Tour throughout Europe this October. Catch them and No Consequence tear it up together in France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium!

Young Stays On Senate Ballot After Election Commission Casts Tie Vote
The name of Todd Young will appear on the Indian Republican primary vote despite the fact that the evidence presented to the Indiana Election Commission today clearly established that he was at least two signatures short of what Indiana law required for him to make the primary ballot. The vote was straight down party lines.
The two Democratic members of the Commission, Tony Long and Suzannah Overholt, voted to sustain the challenge made to Todd Young's ballot petitions because he failed to attain the signatures of at least 500 registered voters in the First District. The two Republican members of the Indiana Election Commission, Bryce Bennett and Zachary Klutz, decided to error on the side of not disenfranchising Young's supporters by denying him a place on the ballot because he came up two or three signatures short. A tie vote means Todd Young stays on the ballot, just as I predicted.
Indiana election laws are a complete joke. They're a moving target that reflect the subjective wishes of the partisan hacks who control the system as opposed to objective standards of law. The Indiana Election Commission members, all attorneys, are a complete joke and embarrassment to the legal profession of this state. It is pure torture to ask anyone to watch how this corrupt body operates. And why carry on the pretense that the Secretary of State has anything at all to do with elections in this state. She clearly has no role at all in elections other than to greet candidates as they file petitions and smile for the cameras..
LamLawIndy said...
Given the evidence that the straight-up count of certified sigs & that Rep. Young didn't bring up the should-have-been certified sigs at the COUNTY level, I think the Dems & Rep. Stutzman should take it to court. Jim Bopp layed out a heck of a record for any judicial review.
Additionally -- on a political level -- keeping this in the news can only hurt Rep. Young. First, it keeps alive in voters' minds that he didn't have his shit together to obtain the requisite number of sigs. Second, it HAS to slow down contributions due to the lack of clarity regarding the ballot.
Let's examine Todd's campaign contributors to date to see exactly which millionaires would have been "dis enfranchised" from what they had bought and paid for? I imagine we will see the usual suspects and connect some of them with other nefarious predations. I wonder if the Democrats have enough sense to ask Mr. Bopp to continue this discussion since he has already done all of the legal research needed and thus might prove to be an inexpensive choice to see Indiana laws upheld in a proper forum....one without long tails and massive jumps.
Lying and liars are not surviving as the caption indicates. In a Kangaroo forum one doesn't need lawyers. If this goes to a court of law things will be different (assuming an honest judge) but it may not go to a court other than that of public opinion where the stench of the lies and the lying will hang, and rot, and smell worse. The lack of honor exposed might not help the Democrats any in this cycle but it sure does give them the opportunity to find men of honor in the future.
Young is a useless party hack who shouldn't be anywhere near an elected office
Gary - can Stutzman and the Democrats appeal this decision to a court?
The decision can be appealed. Whether it is appealed remains to be seen.

Q: Python's os.listdir behaviour on Windows >>> import os
>>> os.chdir('c:/python27')
>>> os.listdir('c:')
['Tools', 'include', 'python.exe', 'libs', 'DLLs', 'Lib', 'NEWS.txt',
'w9xpopen.exe', 'Doc', 'pythonw.exe', 'LICENSE.txt', 'README.txt', 'tcl']
>>> os.listdir('c:/')
['users', 'Program Files', 'Python27', 'windows']

Why is the "/" after "c:" affecting the outcome? Is there a way to get os.listdir('c:') to return the contents of "c:/"?

A: C: uses the current working directory on the C: drive.
C:/ is translated to C:\ and uses the root directory on the C: drive.

Is there a way to get os.listdir('c:') to return the contents of "c:/"?

No.
You can, however, change directories.  But that may be confusing to users.

A: This is not specific to Python, it's a Windows question at heart.
In Windows C: and C:\ (or, alternatively C:/) have quite different meanings:

*

*C: refers to the current directory on the drive C:

*C:\ (and C:/) refers to the root directory of the drive C:
While UNIX-like operating systems simply have a "current directory", Windows has two separate notions:

*

*the current drive and

*the current directory per drive
So the current drive could be D:, the current directory on C: could be \Windows (effectively C:\Windows) and the current directory on D: could be \Data (effectively D:\Data). In this scenario resolution would work like this:

*

*. would refer to D:\Data

*\ would refer to D:\

*C: would refer to C:\Windows

*C:\Foo would refer to C:\Foo
So if you want to have information about a specific directory, you should always use a full path including both a drive and a directory, such as C:\.

Audi recalls cars and SUVs for fire hazard
April 24, 2018 at 5:45 PM EDT
Audi recalls 1.2 million vehicles for fire hazard
Audi is recalling about 1.2 million cars and SUVs worldwide because the electric coolant pumps can overheat and possibly cause a fire.
The recall covers the 2013 to 2016 A4, the 2013 to 2017 A5, the 2012 to 2015 A6, and the Q5 SUV from 2013 to 2017. All have 2-liter turbocharged engines.
The Volkswagen luxury brand said in U.S. government documents that pumps can become blocked with cooling system debris, or moisture in the pump can cause an electrical short. An Audi spokesman in the United States said there have been reports of fires.
Dealers will replace the pumps at no cost to owners. The spokesman said Tuesday that redesigned parts won't be ready until November, but dealers will install a new version of the current pump until the redesigned ones are available.
Audi recalled the same vehicles last year, and dealers did a software update. But the company said in documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that pump problems continued.

Wells Fargo investors vote to raise executive pay
Wells Fargo's leaders deserve fatter paychecks after a tough year, according to investors.
Shareholders voted 92.4 percent in favor Tuesday of the bank's executive compensation decisions — a sign of support for management at the firm's annual meeting in Des Moines.
This year's result is down from 96 percent last year. Some critics of the bank expressed outrage last month after the firm awarded chief executive Tim Sloan a $17.4 million package for 2017, a 36 percent raise.
Shareholders also approved the election of directors, with every candidate receiving at least 89.9 percent support, based on the preliminary vote released by the company.

Alaska Air tightens policy on animals
Alaska Airlines has updated its policy on emotional support animals following an increase in incidents involving them on planes and in airports, including some in which customers and employees suffered bites.
Starting May 1, customers flying with psychiatric service animals must provide animal health and behavioral papers and a signed document from a medical professional at least 48 hours before departure.
The airline also will ban amphibians, goats and animals with hoofs, tusks or horns. Alaska Airlines spokesman Tim Thompson said there will be an exception for trained miniature horses, which are recognized as service animals under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Also in Business
Several unions in Puerto Rico are suing a federal control board overseeing the U.S. territory's finances and demanding that it be declared unconstitutional. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court also names the U.S. government and Puerto Rico's governor and wants a fiscal plan the board approved last week to be suspended until the island's debt is audited. The plan contains several austerity measures the local government has refused to implement. In addition, the lawsuit states that two of the board's seven members should be removed because of an alleged conflict of interest. It also asks that the board and Puerto Rican government be temporarily barred from selling the island's power company.

Home Tech WhatsApp bans Under-16 users in EU
WhatsApp bans Under-16 users in EU
Popular messaging service WhatsApp is banning under-16s from using its platform in the European Union. Users must currently be at least 13, but the firm is changing the rules ahead of the introduction of new EU data privacy regulations in May. The app, which is owned by Facebook, will ask users to confirm their age when prompted to agree new terms of service in the next few weeks. It has not said how the age limit will be enforced. The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into force on 25 May, will give people much more control over how companies use their information. They will also have the right to have personal data erased. It also includes specific rules to protect children from having their personal data collected for marketing purposes, or to create user profiles. WhatsApp, which has faced scrutiny for its data sharing practices in the past, said its move would help it meet the "new high standards of transparency" in the EU. However, the app plans to keep its age limit at 13 in the rest of the world. Most social media apps – including Snapchat, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Musical.ly and Reddit – are restricted to those aged 13 and over. This is in part because a US law – the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule(Coppa) – bans online services from collecting personal information about younger children. Facebook did, however, launch Messenger Kids, which is targeted at children as young as six, last December. It is an ad-free service designed to be compliant with Coppa.
READ ALSO: Apple lied about iPhone X screen size and pixel count, lawsuit alleges
Different approach WhatsApp will also be allowing all users to download a report detailing the data it holds on them as part of its new terms of service. That could include the make and model of the device they use, their contacts and groups and any blocked numbers. Facebook, which has also been criticised for its handling of personal data, is taking a different approach to younger users on its main service. To comply with GDPR, the social network is asking those aged 13 to 15 to nominate a parent or guardian to give permission for them to share information on the platform. If they do not, they will not see a fully personalised version of the platform. In a related development, Facebook's Instagram service has also launched a "data download" tool that provides a file containing the photos, comments, archived Stories, contacts and other personal data a user had posted to the service in the past.

Bruins play one of their best games of the season over Clarington!
It was a scoreless first period but a well played one before Uxbridge got two goals in the second.
Michael Rennie popped home a shot of the back boards that deflected over to him and he had the wide open net to shoot at. Kyle Spataro's point shot deflected off a player in front and through the legs of the Eagles net minder for a 2-0 lead.
The Eagles scored early in the third to cut the lead in half but the Bruins kept pressuring and were rewarded with an insurance goal on a great pass by Aiden Reilly to Derek Dolan. Adrian Addante picked up his first point as a Bruin also assisting on the play.
Some great goal tending again by Ryan McConkey for the "W" as he faced 38 shots, the Bruins fired 32 at the Eagles Mark Robb.
The Bruins need a little help from the Mojacks Thursday night. A Port Perry win will keep the Bruins chances alive to finish 3rd in the battle with Clarington.
Uxbridge host Clarington again on Fri. Feb.2nd at the Bear Den.

Bruins' Damien Heinle Injured During The Game Tonight!
Thanks to our trainer Matt McGuckin and Team Doctor Pat Kiely as well as the Merchants Trainer Terry Quibell and EMS for attending to #28 Damien Heinle of the Bruins, who was injured after a check into the boards. Heinle was taken to the hospital and the latest news we have is that he was in good spirits as he waited to see the Doctor at the Uxbridge hospital.
Damien had a big goal during the game to give his mates a 4-1 lead and that stood up as the winner as the team played the rest of the game with Damien on their mind. Noah Donaghy, Aiden Reilly, Travis Buxcey (APM), Michael Rennie and Daniel Wu scored the other goals in a 6-3 final. Jake Joosten picked up the win in goal.

Bruins Back in the Win Column with Thrilling OT Win in Port Perry!
The Bruins lifted a big weight off their shoulders with a "HUGE WIN" this afternoon in Port Perry. After dropping their last 6 games they came out flying opening up a 2-0 lead on goals by Michael Rennie and Mathew Hunter, allowing one goal to the Mojacks for a 2-1 lead after one.
In the second period Travis Buxcey (APM) scored his first goal in junior c and adding to that was Cameron Moffitt on a beautiful end to end rush while short handed. Then it was penalty trouble allowing the Mojacks to take the momentum away as they scored 2 power play goals to trail 4-3 after the second period.
In the third another power play goal tied it up but Uxbridge killed off a penalty in the last 2 minutes of the third to send this to overtime.
It took just 1:15 into the extra time for Simon Feig to intercept a cross ice pass and rush up the ice slipping the puck past the lone defender and firing stick side as he cut to the right to send the Bruins Players and Fans into a huge win celebration. Ryan McConkey made several keys saves in the game as he faced 57 shots.
The Bruins host the Clarington Eagles on Fri. Jan. 12th at the Bear Den.

Burundi (/bəˈrʊndᵻ/ or /bəˈrʌndi/), officially the Republic of Burundi (Kirundi: Republika y'Uburundi,[buˈɾundi]; French: République du Burundi, [buʁundi] or [byʁyndi]), is a landlocked country in the African Great Lakes region of East Africa, bordered by Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and south, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. It is considered part of Central Africa. Burundi's capital is Bujumbura. The southwestern border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika.
The Twa, Hutu and Tutsi peoples have lived in Burundi for at least five hundred years. For more than 200 years, Burundi was an independent kingdom. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Germany colonized the region. After the First World War and Germany's defeat, it ceded the territory to Belgium. The Belgians ruled Burundi and Rwanda as a European colony known as Ruanda-Urundi. Their intervention exacerbated social differences between the Tutsi and Hutu, and contributed to political unrest in the region. Burundi gained independence in 1962 and initially had a monarchy, but a series of assassinations, coups, and a general climate of regional instability culminated in the establishment of a republic and one-party state in 1966. Bouts of ethnic cleansing and ultimately two civil wars and genocides during the 1970s and again in the 1990s left the country undeveloped and its population as one of the world's poorest. 2015 witnessed large-scale political strife as President Pierre Nkurunziza opted to run for a third term in office, a coup attempt failed and the country's parliamentary and presidential elections were broadly criticized by members of the international community.

In difficult conditions Bristol bounced back from a first league defeat to beat a Rotherham side that had suffered a cruel last second away loss to second place Ealing. A six-nil lead with all the territory and the wind behind them looked far from sufficient but Bristol took control of the second half and were deserved winners.
Bristol kicked off playing with the wind blowing snow straight down the pitch. Difficult conditions making it tough to even see how play was over the other side of the pitch. Even tougher to play in. Bristol were awarded an early penalty and Ian Madigan ensured his side were three-nil up with scarcely a minute played. Sloppy play then allowed Roth to drive hard at the Bristol line, so hard, in fact, that it seemed Roth drove over the dead-ball line to let the visitors off the hook. A long drop-out put Rotherham right back in their own half. Bristol kept the hosts under pressure but were unable to make a clear breakthrough. Finally Bristol knocked-on to give Roth a chance to clear but sadly the ball was then kicked dead to enable Bristol to maintain their dominance of possession and territory. The visitors hammered away for phase after phase, edging ever closer to the line. Great defence from the Titans held the attack at bay and when the referee blew for a penalty after a long advantage it was no surprise to see Bristol take the points on offer to go 0 – 6 in front. Roth had a chance to narrow the half-time gap but Ryan's penalty effort faded away.
Bristol had the lion's share of possession in the first half but would a six point lead be enough when playing into the blizzard? In fact the second half got under way beneath blue skies (although the snow returned later) and play was initially very scrappy from both teams before a quickly taken penalty wrong-footed the Rotherham defence and allowed Bristol to take play up to the Roth 22. A half-break from Jordan Crane took play on and Bristol continued to press, the ball went along the backline and Ryan Edwards dotted down for the first try of the game. Madigan was off-target with his conversion but Bristol were 0 – 11 in front. Inevitably they then gave away a foolish penalty that gave Roth a five metre lineout but fortunately were able to keep the hosts at bay. The territorial position was too good to go to waste and when Bristol were penalised a well struck penalty made it 3 – 11. Bristol worked patiently back into the Roth half, but still the defence was solid, making Bristol work hard for territory, giving little away. A penalty went Bristol's way and Madigan edged Bristol further in front. Bristol now seemed to have the measure of the both Roth and the conditions and kept up the pressure. Roth strayed offside and again Madigan took the points. His lovely kick ahead shortly afterwards opened up the defensive line and Luke Morahan finished well for a try just before full-time. Madigan's conversion capped a masterclass in how to control a game in atrocious conditions and made the final score 3 – 24.
