The eighth of the Inspector Rebus novels, and cemented as a landmark entry in the Tartan Noir genre, Black and Blue is vintage Ian Rankin. Without question, it is one of the author's best, and a premiere example of what the crime fiction genre can accomplish; more than awhodunit, it is a searing commentary on mid-nineties Scotland, told so palatably, so relentlessly, its themes and allusions are almost transient, but undeniably resonant. If only one Rankin novel is to survive the apocalypse, let's hope it's this one.
Rebus is working on four cases at once, trying to catch a killer he suspects of being the infamous Bible John – a killer whose exploits struck fear into the hearts of the population, until he suddenly vanished in less than a wisp of smoke. Decades later, a killer with an eerily similar modus operandi is stalking the streets, dubbed 'Johnny Bible' by the press, naturally. His exploits awaken the Bible John's murderous instincts, who is determined to eliminate the 'Upstart' and ensure it is he who is remembered; not his unwelcome acolyte. At the same time, Rebus is tasked with leading the investigation into the murder of Allan Mitchison, who worked for one of the major oil rigs; all the while, Rebus is being shadowed by the media, who are determined to reveal a perceived miscarriage of justice decades earlier.
Rankin impressively entwines these plot threads, weaving in Rebus's much-loved cast of colleagues and foes, and pushing Rebus to breaking point. Black and Blue exposes Rebus's flaws, humanizes him beyond the point most writers would cross. Rebus is not especially likable, but the chinks in his armor are relatable. When you find yourself tutting at his drinking habits, or abhorring some of his attitudes and harsh wit, consider how you'd come across if the spotlight was turned on you, as Rankin shines his on Rebus. Whatever your thoughts on his personality, there is no denying Rebus's doggedness. His resoluteness is laudable, even when it flares displeasingly.
There are flashier crime novels and authors to enjoy, but nobody can match the scope of Rankin's plotting, nor his willingness to dig deep into his characters, and society as a whole. Black and Blue is, quite simply, stunning – even almost twenty years after its publication.

Biographical Notes on Chaplains at the
John Wing (1612-1618)
When the Merchant Adventurers returned to Hamburg in 1611 they stipulated that they should be granted the privilege of setting up their own English Church. John Wing was the first English chaplain in Hamburg. He compiled the first list of communicants, marriages and baptisms. The entries begin on the 22nd June, 1616. He is mentioned in the Dictionary of National Biography
William Loe, DD (1619-1620)
He converted the above list into a church register. Loe was a learned theologian. Graduated at Oxford in 1600; appointed to Gloucester Cathedral; royal chaplain in 1618; published four of his sermons in 1614; gave up his chaplaincy owing to dislike of Archbishop Laud. Appointed to Hamburg in 1618, his appointment being approved by the King, the University and the Cathedral. In 1619 he published "The Mysterie of Mankind", in which he praises the King for his care of "your seminaries of merchants beyond the seas at Harnborough". He arrived in Hamburg late in the year, having left his family behind in England. He preached well. Whilst in Hamburg (1620) he published fifteen sermons relating to the merchants' profession under the title "The reall merchant". The only extant copy of this book, which was printed in Hamburg, is in the Hamburger Stadtbibliothek. He was very popular with the Court. After his return to England he became a High Churchman and had an important career. He died in 1645 and was buried at Westminster Abbey. He was the only English pastor in Hamburg to receive that honour. (Mentioned in the Dictionary of National Biography.)
Thomas Young (1620-1627)
Presbyterian. Born in Luncarty, Perthshire, in 1587. Graduated at St. Andrew's University. He may also have studied at a Dutch or North German university. From 1618 to 1620 he was Milton's tutor. Young's wife, Rebecca, bore him three children in Hamburg. During his ministry the city was constantly exposed to the threats of war, a fact which seems to have impressed Milton who, in an elegy (The Fourth), dedicated to Young, describes the advance of Wallenstein's army on Hamburg. Young was responsible for the propagation of Puritan ideas among the English community, in particular reverence for the Sabbath. In 1627 he returned to England. In 1641 he fought for Presbyterian reform of the church. The Scots wished to secure services in Edinburgh but Parliament employed him on "an assembly for the regulation of religion" which had been sitting at Westminster since 1643 and his ideas regarding the "Directory of Worship" (a book to replace the Book of Common Prayer) were adopted and enforced. In 1644 he was made Master of Jesus College in Cambridge, resigning in 1650 because he refused to give his oath of engagement to the Independent and Republican Council of state. He died in 1655 at the age of 68. His best literary work "Dies dominica" was published in Latin in 1639 and was intended to strengthen his old Hamburg parishioners in their observance of the Sabbath. It is preserved in the Stadtbibliothek. (Mentioned in the Dictionary of National Biography.)
Thomas Rutt (1627)
Jeremias Elborough DD (1630-1634, 1640-1665)
Presbyterian. Appointed to Hamburg in 1630, he was removed by the influence of Laud in 1634 and succeeded by the Beaumont, a High churchman. But Elborough remained in Hamburg, accommodated, himself to current views and was reinstated in 1640. Upon the fall of Laud in 1641, Elborough again reverted to Presbyterianism. Elborough was so violently Republican 'that on Easter Monday 1649 he was assaulted by three ruffians who had been hired by the Royalist faction in Hamburg, but escaped unhurt. In the following year the Parliamentary envoy" Richard Bradshaw" arrived. He ordered Elborough to take the oath of engagement but Elborough refused on the grounds that he had received no instructions from England. Meanwhile the Royalist members of the community attended divine service held by a chaplain who had accompanied Sir John Cochran, Charles II's agent, to Hamburg. Despite Bradshaw's effort to have Elborough removed from Hamburg the latter returned, so Bradshaw and Guntry had to leave in 1656 and 1657. At the Restoration Elborough would at first not recognize the Act of Uniformity and the new Book of Common Prayer but he compromised in a manner which offended the Puritan members of his congregation and drove them to break away and form a new congregation under the Puritan preacher Hammon.
Eventually Elborough was compelled to make greater concessions to the Act of Uniformity but he marked his displeasure by reading the services very irreverently. With the arrival of a new envoy, Sir William Swan, Elborough was compelled to sign the "engagement" (1663) and to conform strictly to the established religion. Under these altered conditions he was able to retain his position for yet another two years, but in 1665 he was accused of nonconformity and dismissed. He had been chaplain at Hamburg for 35 years, including the break of six years from 1634 to 1640.
Beaumont (1634-1640)
High Churchman. Appointed through Laud's interference. Elborough, whom he had displaced, remained in Hamburg and eventually regained the chaplaincy which Beaumont had usurped.
Thomas Griffin (1665 -1682)
High Church, and therefore unpopular with the majority of his congregation. Recommended by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Secretary of State, the Earl of Arlington. Endeavoured to carry out the King's wishes in respect of creed and ritual. The Court refused to allow him to live in the "English House" and although he went to London in 1676 to make a formal protest, in which he was supported by Sir William Swan, the Court remained firm. It is uncertain whether he returned to Hamburg but presumably he continued to officiate here till 1682. In 1672 a daughter was born to him. It was Griffin who, in 1668, altered the beginning of the year from March 25th to January 1st. This innovation together with the Gregorian calendar was not introduced in England until 1752. The State of Hamburg adopted the new calendar in 1700 so that in both these respects the English community in Hamburg was in advance of the motherland.
George Walls, B.J. (1682-1689)
Having taken the formal oath of obedience to the Act of Uniformity he soon became unpopular with the majority of his Presbyterian communicants and he was only re-elected at Midsummer 1689 (the Court elected its chaplains annually) on condition that he resigned at Christmas. Although he had many friends here and despite the powerful protection of the English envoys at Hamburg, Copenhagen and CelIe, the Court remained obdurate and Walls had to go. There were also temperamental differences between himself and his congregation, he being opposed to the loose Restoration morals which were then popular. He had welcomed the accession of William III, thereby winning the friendship of Sir Paul Rycaut, the envoy.
Francis Thompson, DD (1683)
Rector of St Matthew's, Friday Street and of St Peter's Cheapside in London. Officiated for four months during the summer of 1683. He protested against the alteration of New Year's Day, insisted upon baptism in the Church itself and introduced a more accurate method of making entries in the register, an innovation which succeeding chaplains observed.
Lionel Gatford (1690-1702)
Gatford was Rycaut's chaplain. High Church. Elected to be Court Chaplain in place of Walls. His duties were so onerous that he applied for an assistant and eventually a "reader of the lessons" was attached to him at a salary of £20 per annum with free board and lodgings. The high church element now prevailed. Rycaut, who was very pious, combined with Gatford to raise the religious tone of the community. The third Wednesday in every month was set aside as a day of prayer and repentance. Numerous special services were held on national occasions. Gatford was married. He left Hamburg in 1702.
Ralph Emmerson (1703 -1718).
Married. Two children were born to him in Hamburg.
John Thomas, DD (1719-1737)
Brother-in-law of Sir Cyril Wich, the envoy, whose sister he married. He was noted for his politeness and efficiency and was very popular. He spoke German, became a member of the Patriotische Gesellschaft in 1792, and had many German friends. He was appointed Bishop of Salisbury in 1761. The "Patriotische Gesellschaft" was founded in 1765.
Charles Lake, M.A. (1738)
His appointment does not appear to have been confirmed by the Court. He officiated for one year. A portrait of him was made in the year 1738. The old church register was discontinued after his ministry.
William Murray" D. D. (1738-1760)
He is mentioned by Lessing and was the friend of the German poet Hagedorn, who was also secretary to the Court. He lost his wife in childbirth, 1740. He began the new church register.
Edward Vaughan (1760-1779)
A worthy, conscientious, elderly man, whose firmness of character made him unpopular with the Court. In 1779 he was discarded in favour of Trevor.
John Trevor, DD (1779-1780)
Formerly Rector of Otterhampton in Somerset. Brilliant, apparently well-connected, he appealed to the Court by quality of his preaching and the charm of his manner. Although the Courtmaster disapproved of him his salary was raised and Vaughan was pensioned off in order that Trevor might occupy the chaplain's official dwelling. In 1780 he obtained his doctor's degree at a Scottish university and a few months later he deserted his congregation, leaving considerable debts behind him. He had a large family. Two sons were born to him in Hamburg.
Allan Bracken. (1730-1794)
The church remained closed for five months. Vaughan's offer to carry on in the meanwhile was declined. Nothing appears to be known of Bracken except that in 1789 he held a thanksgiving service in the Cathedral upon the recovery of George III from his long illness.
John Knipe (1794-1806)
This young bachelor continued to sow his wild oats after he was appointed to Hamburg. Upon the entry of the French into Hamburg on the 19th November, 1806, he fled into Holstein. On the same day he baptized a child privately and until the 9th August, 1807, though not resident in Hamburg, he occasionally ministered to some of the English families there. No services were held. He drew his stipend on the 27th June, 1807 for the last time. In August of that year he fled to England in order to escape arrest by the Danes, who had declared war on England. He apparently returned in 1815, as he officiated at several baptisms (according to the Church Register) in December of that year and in January 1816, and also married several couples in 1817, after which there is no further word of him in Hamburg.
Richard Baker. July 14, 1820 (date of first baptism by the chaplain) 1839
The old church had been broken up in 1821 and services were now held provisionally in a concert hall. Baker was actively concerned in the building of the new church. In 1833 he was appointed with Richard Parish to represent the congregation in its negotiations with the Senate. Work upon the new church began in 1834, with the foundation stone being laid in 1836, and the building was dedicated on the 11th November, 1838. Some of Baker's letters are in the consular archives.

STATEWIDE — The Ohio Association of School Nurses (OASN) is urging parents to make arrangements now to have their children's vaccines updated in preparation for the start of a new school year. Parents who have children entering the 7th or 12th grade need to be aware of a new state law mandating the meningitis vaccine for the first time.
"Getting children ready to head back to school can be a stressful time for parents. To avoid one more complication, we urge parents or guardians to schedule their child or children's vaccinations now," said Debra Stoner, President of the OASN. Parents are encouraged to use a visit to the doctor as an opportunity to get their children and adolescents all the vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), not just those mandated for school attendance.
A key vaccination parents should be aware of this year is meningitis – a serious disease causing inflammation of the brain or spinal cord. Adolescents are one group considered at risk of contracting bacterial meningitis, which is why the CDC recommends the vaccine for children ages 11 to 16. CDC also recommends a booster shot for students entering college if their last shot was five or more years ago. Ohio's new law is consistent with these recommendations.
Though not common, meningitis is often deadly, killing about 15 percent of those who get it. Many survivors lose limbs, suffer hearing loss, or have mental impairment. The disease is difficult to diagnose because early symptoms are similar to flu. Meningitis progresses rapidly and can be fatal in 24 to 48 hours. It is transmissible through contact with nasal secretions or the saliva of an infected person. Parents should teach their children cover a sneeze and not to share eating utensils, drinking glasses or straws, or water bottles with others to help avoid infection. But the best preventative is vaccination.
For high school seniors who will attend college or enter the military, there are actually two meningitis vaccines and the most protection will come from having both. The vaccine included in Ohio's new law covers four strains of meningitis: A, C, W, and Y. However, vaccines have recently been approved for meningitis B, the strain most common on college campuses. Young people living in close quarters like college dorms or military barracks are at greater risk of contracting bacterial meningitis than their peers. About 100 cases of meningitis occur on college campuses each year. To be most fully protected, parents may want to ask their child's health care provider about the quadrivalent (four-strain) vaccine and the meningitis B vaccine.
The Ohio Association of School Nurses strongly supports Ohio's vaccination requirements, because immunization protects students, their families, teachers and other school staff from preventable illnesses.
The Ohio Association of School Nurses promotes optimal wellness among Ohio's school children and their communities by supporting their educational success & providing leadership, education & support for the practice of school nursing.

Lady Tigers volleyball remains undefeated with 1st-round win over visiting Owen on Tuesday night
Everyone knows that playoff action is the beginning of essentially a whole new season.
Win-loss records are tossed out the window and anything can happen. For Fred T. Foard's varsity volleyball program, it began its North Carolina High School Athletic Association 2A state playoff push on Linda Richards Court against visiting Charles D. Owen on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
The defending 2A state champion Lady Tigers went unbeaten during the regular season with a 14-0 overall record, as well as in the Northwestern Foothills 2A Conference.
In each of those contests, Foard didn't lose a single set. Nevertheless, after coming out looking like the force it was accustomed to being in the first set – winning 25-5 – things began to shift in the following sets.
Mind you, the Lady Tigers ultimately took control for the 3-0 sweep – its 15th of the season – but something looked a bit off, especially in the second set.
"We came out really strong," said Lady Tigers head coach Meredith Lombardi. "I think it's just the whole vibe of the playoffs. Everyone's excited about playoffs, and we've waited so long I think to get to this point that we did come out very strong...I give it to Owen because I don't really know much about them...but they came in, they stepped up their game I think...There was a good little volleyball team (there). They were scrappy. They got stuff over. I mean, that's what we need to see in the first round, and I give it to them. They did a really good job.
"We were very roller-coaster, up and down, up and down...At this point, where we are, we got to take it to the teams every single game because our target on our back is quite large I think. So, we can't just come into gyms and just show up. We got to play our game. We've got to take it to them because I do think from the top of the line up to the bottom, we're a pretty strong program...We've got to show that every time we come into someone's gym or someone comes here."

Action Oak Knowledge Review
RFS acts to future proof woodland
The RFS is an educational charity inspiring passion and excellence in woodland management. Founded in 1882, we are the largest and longest established forestry education charity supporting those actively involved in woodland management across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We believe bringing neglected woods back into management and sharing knowledge on how to manage woods to a high standard is vital to the long term health of our woods and trees. Our policies identify what is required to ensure our woods deliver their full economic, environmental and public benefits.
The policies are described below, or you can download the policies in a single PDF document.
Six key policies:
Grey squirrel and deer control
Grants and regulations
Forestry skills
The RFS is committed to promoting the benefits of responsible woodland management. Managed woodlands enhance habitat diversity and better protects trees from pests and diseases. Woods which produce sustainable timber, wood fuel and other products are better for nature conservation, better for people and better for the economy.
Woods which are under-managed will, over time, become derelict scrub devoid of natural beauty, or high forest devoid of structural complexity and habitat diversity. 42% of England's woodlands are unmanaged or under-managed. This is a serious threat to the health and sustainability of our woods. The Government wants 66% of woods in management by 2050, recognising that this will deliver big economic as well as environmental benefits. The RFS works tirelessly to contribute to meeting this goal.
We need to be more open to the important role that non-native species play in our woods for timber production, landscape value and economic sustainability. Conifers as well as broadleaves have an important role to play, both as a nurse for high-quality broadleaved timber, and in woodland ecology and landscape. Conifers underpin the economic health of the forestry sector, accounting for 82% of England's wood production from just 26% of the wooded land area. A well-managed mixed conifer/broadleaf woodland can have high habitat diversity and is better for the health of the wood than a pure stand of broadleaves that is unmanaged.
We promote and encourage excellence across all types of woodland. Owners' objectives for their woods differ and in part reflect the type of woodland under management. This includes small woods, community woods, urban woods and multipurpose woods. The RFS recognises that each has an important role to play, and that owners' management objectives must be respected.
The UK is one of the least wooded countries in Europe. 13% of UK land is woodland compared to an average of 37% in Europe. As a result the UK is the world's largest per capita importer of wood products. There is a big opportunity to increase the area of economically and environmentally sustainable woodland, at the same time creating a low-carbon route to increasing the resilience of the rural economy, and delivering more public benefits. A thriving forestry industry will reduce imports from abroad which may not be produced sustainably and which increase the risk of introducing pests and pathogens.
Current rates of new woodland creation in England are at an all-time low. To expand woodland cover requires a radical re-think of land-use policies which currently do not incentivise landowners to plant trees. Greater parity between agriculture and other land uses, including woodland, is a precondition.
Diversifying the range of tree species both native and non-native protects our woodland from over-reliance on a narrow range of species and helps support resilience. There are an ever increasing number of tree diseases threatening many of our most common woodland tree species including oak, ash, larch and pine. Climate change is placing added stress on our trees which makes them more susceptible to infection. The RFS played a leading role in the development of the Climate Change Accord: a call for resilient woods, forests and trees
Policies which strengthen biosecurity are vital to protect UK woods from disease. We will promote policies that encourage owners to source UK-grown trees and oblige nursery owners to provide buyers with information on seed provenance that enables informed buying decisions. We support development of early disease detection systems and faster dissemination of information to woodland owners to advise them on actions they can take to detect and mitigate the impact of pests and diseases.
The Government must support the UK's world leading, innovative research on tree pests and diseases including breeding more resilient and productive tree species.
The grey squirrel represents one of the greatest threats to the health of UK broadleaved woods. It is pointless to plant oak, beech, birch, sweet chestnut or sycamore without a rigorous and sustained programme of squirrel control. Bark stripping by greys will ensure these trees never replace mature trees of the same species as objects of beauty and utility in our woods. We believe the threat must be addressed through research and development of more effective control methods, raising public understanding of need to control greys in areas where trees are most vulnerable, and collaboration between landowners to address the problem. The RFS is a signatory of the UK Squirrel Accord and a member of the Accord committee.
UK deer populations are far above carrying capacity and, unlike other areas of Europe, has no surviving apex predators to naturally control population levels. Over browsing of ground flora damages woodland ecosystems and prevents natural regeneration of trees on which foresters increasingly depend. The RFS supports the work of the Deer Initiative.
There is a clear and compelling case for Government to support the wide range of public benefits unique to forestry where it is not possible to establish a market incentive. Interventions which focus on the potential value of forestry to the rural economy, coupled with environmental and social benefits, are most likely to maximise delivery of these public benefits.
We support policies which facilitate the development of markets for UK-grown timber, wood fuel and non-timber products, including investment in the hardwood supply chain, promotion of timber in construction and the Renewable Heat Incentive.
Brexit is an opportunity to review the regulatory regime affecting forestry to ensure it balances environmental protection with practical operational needs and allows it to deliver wider good to the English countryside and its communities. A more risk-based approach to regulation should be introduced. It should not be forgotten that woodland management, despite the improved outlook in recent years, remains a marginal activity for many landowners in lowland England. Burdening forestry with unnecessary regulation risks stopping management of woods to the detriment of the environment the regulations are designed to protect.
The RFS is leading the forestry sector to encourage more young people to take up careers in forestry by creating and managing a forestry careers website, attending careers fairs and providing work experience placements for students.
Retaining a strong, free-standing Forestry Commission advisory capability is an important part the skills agenda. RFS members greatly value the well informed advice and guidance of experienced Forestry Commission England Woodland Officers. This resource is stretched so thin that it risks delivery of government policy objectives for our woods. The direction of travel should be towards more front-line support for woodland owners and less administrative and regulatory burden.
For its entire 135 years, the RFS has dedicated itself to sharing knowledge on the art and science of woodland management so that the accumulated wisdom and experience of landowners, foresters, arborists and others is transferred from one generation to another.

College Football Title Games: Alabama vs. Florida, Notre Dame vs. View Clemson and more without cable
The college football selection committee will have a tougher job this year than in the past because – you guessed it – the coronavirus. The pandemic has forced conferences to play shortened slates and teams to cancel games, ditching the usual calculus used to determine the four teams in the college football playoffs for the national championship.
The Big Ten and Pac 12 didn't start their seasons until October or November and have had multiple COVID-19 outbreaks. For example, Powerhouse Ohio State has only played five games this year after three cancellations. In the Pac 1
2, Washington had to bow to the championship game after a recent breakout, so USC is now playing Oregon for the conference title. The fiercely independent Notre Dame joined the ACC this season and will face Clemson, who defeated it earlier this year when Clemson was starless quarterback Trevor Lawrence, in the title game. Meanwhile, the SEC plowed ahead with the season, and Alabama and Florida were able to play 10 games each.
Here's what you need to know about how to stream the conference's title games on Friday and Saturday on ABC, CBS and Fox and the College Football Playoff squad show on Sunday on ESPN.
Alabama is the nation's best team and a firm favorite to compete in the college football playoffs.

Power 5 match schedule for the conference title
The four playoff teams will almost certainly come from a Power 5 conference – Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, Pac 12 and ACC – much to the chagrin of two undefeated schools from smaller conferences, Cincinnati in the AAC and Coastal Carolina in the Sun Belt.
Here is the schedule of the title games from the Power 5 conference:
Pac 12: Oregon vs. (13) USC, Friday, 8:00 PM ET on Fox
Big Ten: (14) Northwestern vs. (4) Ohio State, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET on Fox
Big 12: (10) Oklahoma vs. (6) Iowa State, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET on ABC
ACC: (3) Clemson vs. (2) Notre Dame, Saturday, 4 p.m. ET on ABC
SEC: (1) Alabama vs. (7) Florida, Saturday, 8:00 PM ET on CBS
College Football Playoff Photo
The current College Football Playoff ranking is as follows:
Alabama 10-0
Notre Dame 10-0
Clemson 9-1
State of Ohio 5-0
Iowa State 8-2
Florida 8-2
Georgia 7-2
Cincinnati 8-0
Indians 6-1
Coastal Carolina 11-0
USC 5-0
Northwest 6-1
Alabama has likely secured a spot whether it beats Florida or not in Saturday's SEC title game. If Florida wins, it has a chance of sneaking into the playoffs despite two losses in the year. The winner of Notre Dame and Clemson gets in, and Notre Dame can still enter with a loss. Ohio State is a big favorite against Northwestern, and the Buckeyes will almost certainly come in with a win. If the Buckeyes lose, it will open the door for Texas A&M, Iowa State or Cincinnati to take the final playoff spot.

Thread: Darrell Issa: Eric Holder contempt decision 'soon'
Darrell Issa: Eric Holder contempt decision 'soon'
By MJ LEE | 6/8/12 8:19 AM EDT Updated: 6/8/12 9:19 AM EDT
Rep. Darrell Issa said Thursday that he expects to know by July 4 whether the House will move forward on a motion to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over the Fast and Furious investigation.
Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee who has been at the forefront of Congress's grilling of Holder, told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren that House Speaker John Boehner is "close" to making a decision on a possible contempt charge.
"I believe that the speaker is close to the end of his rope. My job, of course, is to do my job until the speaker makes that decision. I'm comfortable that he will make the decision relatively soon," Issa said.
Asked to define "soon," the California congressman replied, "I don't expect to go home for 4th of July without having a date for contempt or knowing that it's time to wrap up this investigation and just admit that justice is not transparent, that you're not going to get the kind of cooperation you want."
This isn't the first deadline suggested by Republican lawmakers. Rep. Trey Gowdy, also a member of the Oversight Committee, had previously threatened that Holder's refusal to fully comply with a subpoena by May 28 would trigger contempt proceedings.
Issa's interview on Fox came as Holder faced yet another round of tough questions from Republican lawmakers at a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Thursday, where Issa told Holder at one point, "Mr. Attorney General, you're not a good witness. A good witness answers the question asked."
The botched operation put guns into the hands of arms traffickers in the hopes of snaring drug-cartel members and other criminals, but many of the guns went unaccounted for.
Last month, Issa circulated a draft contempt order against Holder that accused the attorney general of refusing to cooperate in the Fast and Furious investigation.
"For over a year, the Department has issued false denials, given answers intended to misdirect investigators, sought to intimidate witnesses, unlawfully withheld subpoenaed documents, and waited to be confronted with indisputable evidence before acknowledging uncomfortable facts," a briefing paper accompanying the draft read.
The Justice Department has maintained that it has made a consistent effort to aid the oversight committee's investigation.

A language lover's blog	Pry open your characters with sex
No MFA, you say? Not so, Dr. Magnuson
Ron Seybold	MFA, mistake	MFA	Comments Off on No MFA, you say? Not so, Dr. Magnuson
Last month the director of the Michener Center for Writers, James Magnuson, spoke to members of the Writer's League of Texas. Magnuson began with a bit of errant information, a fact that suited his talk, "Graduate Writing Programs: Worthwhile Or Waste Of Money?"
"Did you know," he asked, "that no Nobel Prize winner in Literature ever has come from an MFA program?" He went on to add that he wasn't even sure if a graduate writing program had ever produced a Pulitzer Prize winner.
Well, the Pulitzer part was easy. I reminded Magnuson from my front-row seat that the Pulitzer Prize has gone to Michael Chabon, who wrote The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay for the 2001 award. Today I was researching a novel from the syllabus for the Novelist's Tools seminar on my schedule at Iowa this summer. The 12 of us in the class been assigned The Bluest Eye, the first novel from Pulitzer Prize winner and Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, who's been through an MFA program. Morrison won her Nobel Prize in 1993, 38 years after she took her MFA from Cornell.
There's bound to be other MFA prize winners, but Magnuson was making a larger point with his errant report. An MFA will not ensure your critical acclaim or commercial success. Writers who judge themselves ready for the rigors of an MFA program sometimes look for such confirmation, usually as a result of what they learn about their writing. They also seek a secure place in life with a teaching position. But the advice from the Writer's League audience assured us that even an MFA doesn't automatically lead to a teaching job. "You really need a book as well," offered one of the Michener grads in attendance.
So the MFA is only one means to the end: writing the book. And Magnuson said that an MFA program had better give you time to write that book, or you'll be better served by avoiding the massive loans and years out of your life. "If you really have a life, there's a question of whether you should take the time out of it" for graduate writing, he said. "If the program demands 20 hours a week teaching writing, plus three classes, there's a question about whether it's better to work for the post office and get up early every morning to write."
He added that there's a good alternative in learning from your peers, by sharing books. "There's too much emphasis placed on the MFA in the culture," he said. "We teach, but only to a degree," he said — meaning not only that the MFA's object is the degree alone, but also that much of what makes a writer succeed can't be taught in a classroom.

Home Walk of Fame Stars Jinx Falkenburg
Jinx Falkenburg
Inducted to the Walk of Fame on February 8, 1960 with 1 star. Comments
Eugenia Lincoln Falkenburg was a Spanish-born model and actress who was nicknamed Jinx by her mother.
Born in Barcelona, she was raised in Chile. Her family moved to the United States where she became a top model. Her brother Bob Falkenburg was the 1948 Wimbledon singles champion.
As a teenager, she became a top fashion model who appeared on numerous magazine covers, and was the first Miss Rheingold, but was chosen by the brewery rather than being voted by the public, as in later years. Falkenburg appeared in over 25 movies and numerous television programs. During World War II Falkenburg entertained American troops and was a popular pin-up model. She, along with her husband Tex McCrary, was one of the early innovators in the talk show genre in the 1940s.
After Falkenburg and McCrary were married in 1945, they began broadcasting the popular morning radio talk show, Hi Jinx, in 1946. They later hosted the NBC show, At Home, and published a column together in the New York Herald Tribune. During this time she became enamored with Los Angeles golfer Bud Stevens, who dumped her for Sharon Gunn.

There were seven goals in it but in the end it came down to a goal that wasn't in what will go down as one for the more remarkable Champions League ties in recent memory.
For 30 seconds it seemed Manchester City had claimed a late injury time Raheem Sterling goal to secure a 5-4 aggregate win over Tottenham in Manchester today.
However VAR ruled out the goal for offside as Spurs secured a semifinal spot against Ajax with a 4-4 aggregate away goals victory despite today's 4-3 defeat.
Fernando Llorente sent Tottenham into its first European Cup semifinal in 57 years and ended Manchester City's quadruple hopes by scoring the decider.
Llorente, a back-up striker who lives in the shadow of the injured Harry Kane, nudged the ball into the net in the 73rd minute with his hip — a goal that was only given after a VAR decision.
Video review worked in Tottenham's favour again in stoppage time when Sterling looked to have secured City's progress. But as the home fans celebrated and the devastated Spurs players slumped to the turf, the referee determined that Sergio Aguero was offside before crossing to Sterling.
It was a dramatic finish to a game that saw three lead changes and four goals scored in the opening 11 minutes. A fifth in the 21st minute saw City take a 3-2 lead at the break.
Agyero made it 4-2 on the hour mark as City looked to secure a comeback win in the quarter-final tie. Llorente's goal then gave Spurs the away goal advantage they needed to make the semifinals.
The two teams face off again on Sunday morning NZT, a crucial Premier League match as City look to keep up with league leaders Liverpool.
In today's other quarter-final tie, Liverpool thrashed Porto 4-1 to book a semifinal tie with Barcelona.
Congratulations guys and good luck.
This game is fantastic. Thoughts at this time are with all those that don't like football.
Liverpool returned to the semifinals of the Champions League with the attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino grabbing a goal each.
Virgil van Dijk also scored for Liverpool, which advanced 6-1 on aggregate after winning the first leg 2-0 at home.
Porto started well and showed signs it might be able to reverse the first-leg deficit, but Liverpool took control after Mane scored a goal in the 26th minute that was confirmed by video review after being initially disallowed for offside.
Salah added to the lead in the 65th and Eder Militao scored for Porto in the 69th, but Firmino ended any doubts in the 77th and Van Dijk closed the scoring in the 84th at the Estadio do Dragao.
Liverpool, which lost in the final last season, will now face Barcelona, which eliminated Manchester United 4-0 on aggregate on Wednesday.
Liverpool had barely gotten close to Iker Casillas's goal when Salah picked up a pass inside the area and sent a low pass to Mane, who came sliding in behind the defenders near the far post to open the scoring.
Mane looked offside at first, and few Liverpool players complained when the flag went up, but video review showed he was in legal position before making his run to the ball to score his 14th goal in 21 Champions League appearances.
The goal hurt Porto's morale and the team struggled to keep pushing forward. The pace slowed significantly and Liverpool took advantage, with Salah finding the net from inside the area after a pass by Trent Alexander-Arnold on a quick counterattack.
Firmino, who came off the bench after halftime, and Van Dijk added to the lead with late headers. Porto's lone goal also came through a header by Militao, the defender who is joining Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Mane could have scored his second goal of the game in the 73rd but he missed an open net after dribbling past Casillas on a breakaway.
Porto, which eliminated Roma in the round of 16, had won all of its four home games in the Champions League this season, outscoring opponents 11-3.
It was the second consecutive elimination for the Portuguese champions against Liverpool. The English side routed Porto 5-0 at the Estadio do Dragao in the first leg of the round of 16 last season, with Salah, Firmino and Mane scoring all goals. Liverpool advanced after a scoreless draw at home, and eventually made it to the final where it lost to Real Madrid.
Porto, in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2014-15, was trying to reach the semifinals for the first time since it won the tournament in 2004 under Jose Mourinho for its biggest triumph.
Porto was boosted by the return of two key players who missed the first leg because of yellow-card suspensions: captain Hector Herrera and defender Pepe, a three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid.
Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp made a series of changes to the lineup from the first leg, revamping the midfield and using Firmino as a second-half substitute.

from the Mystery of Death, to the simple colors of an Autumn Forest."
In the Winter of 2010, New Forest Enterprises purchased a mountainside property in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in central New York State.
The land was acquired as a working extension of New Forest Centre, a specialized place which would be utilized for training purposes by those working under NF apprenticeship programs.
This we named CAMP NEW FOREST.
This new piece of real estate was painstakingly chosen for its unique combination of spiritual and physical properties; in fact, local legend records that the site was once the location of an Iroquois 'healing lodge,' and the natural spring (Artesian Well) found there was believed by both Native Americans & locals, to possess rare curative properties.
During the process of 'rebuilding' the well-housing, at least 3 distinct phases of habitation were uncovered: the first in stone, the second in wood, and the third (ca. 1830-1850) in striated iron piping. For our part, it was decided to restore the well exterior with local stone. In the IMAGE BANK section to follow, several shots of the well can be seen. Water analysis done through Home Depot, revealed an unusually high concentration of Iron and rare trace minerals such as Magnesium Sulfate & Zinc Fluoride .
But, above all, it was the Trees which identified the land as a worthy complement to New Forest Centre.
On last count, Camp New Forest had 11 [Ogham] Oracle Trees within its boundaries! For all those acquainted with the difficulty of locating such a tree within walking distance, this is a remarkable statistic in itself, indicative of the highly active system of Ley Lines which underscores the property.
The IMAGE BANK section to follow, contains photos of many different varieties found across the Mountain.
CAMP NEW FOREST was purchased from a life-long (octogenarian) resident of the region, who had one highly unusual legend to recount concerning the property.
On the far Eastern boundary, is to be found an almost perfectly circular mound of stones, (some 15-feet in diameter and 5-feet tall), with a single Shagbark Hickory tree growing exactly from its top center. Upon first sight, it appears to be artificial--- which it indeed turned out to be!
"According to legend, an Iroquois hunting party was camped one Autumn at the lodge by the well, at the very roots of the Mountain. There were about twenty deer hunters present, including the Chief and his Son, who were hoping to replenish their tribe's venison larders before Winter set in. Just before dark, the Chief's Son and some of the younger braves, were boastfully firing arrows to determine who was the better shot--- when an arrow misfired and ricocheted off a Hickory tree, killing the Chief's Son. The party consulted the spirits, and it was decided that the unfortunate young man should be buried where he fell, so the Chief ordered that a stone mound be erected to mark his grave. Ever since that time, a Hickory tree has prominently grown on the mump, as can (quite remarkably) be seen to this day."
During exploration of the lower Eastern slope of the Mountain, the remnants of a Stone Circle some 12-feet in diameter were found in a central clearing devoid of larger trees. Upon closer inspection, a 3-foot pile of smaller stones was unearthed at the exact center of the larger ring, which we took to indicate a fire pit or perhaps an altar of some type.
Using the original stones, we rebuilt the structure as close as possible to what appeared to be the original design. Who built the circle, or when, is unknown--- neither the former owner nor the town historian could supply details, although the circular remains were known to two neighbors who were long-time hunters across that area.
It certainly seems conceivable that the stone circle might have been constructed nearby the Iroquois lodge as a bonfire site, cooking area, or even some kind of ritual monument. Due to this uncertainty factor, it was decided that, during our own "New Forest occupation," the re-constructed circle would serve in each and every capacity that necessity might demand.
Although the principal goal of Camp New Forest was to maintain a tract of land as pristine from development as possible, admittedly, there was a second motive involved.
Our founder, Douglas Monroe, had become increasingly eager to procure a 'remoter' tract of land as a get-away-spot for himself, farther from the busyness that New Forest Centre has become since he first purchased it in 1990.
And so, since acquiring our new property, a cozy cabin has been built on the exact site of the old Iroquois Healing Lodge by the Well--- which we all now affectionately call, "Cottage Douglas..." a haven for research, writing & receiving special visitors whenever he is home in the United States.
