1. First things first. When preparing for your engagement session, the first step is to make sure you choose a great photographer with a personality that you love. Consider whether they will be able to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera during your engagement session and keep you calm on your wedding day. Will you be able to laugh with them, let loose, and show your true smile? When you have a wedding photographer you completely trust to capture all of the most important moments, then you can sit back, relax, and let them do their job of making you look beautiful.
2. Location. Before you start picking out your outfits, you should determine the location of your shoot. Engagement sessions are meant to be personalized to the max so I always encourage my couples to pick a location that is special to them. Once you choose that location, you can start choosing your outfits.
3. Accessorize. Wear or bring lots of accessories! A necklace, a bunch of bracelets, a scarf, a hat, cute shoes... the list goes on. For guys, I recommend watches or a favorite belt or necklace!
4. Complement each other! Coordinating your outfits a little bit is fine, but don't wear matching outfits. If you don't dress like each other every day of the week, I don't recommend dressing the same for your engagement shoot. However, wearing colors that complement each other and pieces that have common shades are fine.
5. Layer it up. Clothes often photograph better when they are layered, so consider adding a cardigan, blazer, or jacket to finish your look. The weather in Northeast Tennessee can be pretty unpredictable all year round, so prevent uncomfortable photo sessions by layering your look. That way, if you decide to have some photos taken in the cool shade and then hike to your next sunny location, you don't have to break a sweat. Layers are also great because they hide areas you might not feel comfortable flaunting. For the guys, depending on the weather, it's often simple enough to have another shirt under a sweater or jacket to change things up halfway through the shoot. Layers can also include accessories like a vest or belt, which always add another element to the photos.
7. Personal Touches/ Special Heirlooms. Add a touch of sentiment to your photos by including an item that is special to you: your grandmother's locket, your father's watch, your favorite sports team jersey or your cowgirl boots. These items will add a personal touch and will make your images even more meaningful as you look at them today, tomorrow, or 30 years down the road.
8. If you want extra ROMANTIC images, consider wearing something long and flowy! I absolutely love photographing fabric that flows in the wind! Also, light & neutral colors allow images to appear more light and airy no matter what the weather is like!
9. Don't over think it! Some of my favorite outfits have been when the guy is just wearing a simple colored v-neck!


I found myself being pulled toward "Mutual Benefit." Their music is like a great massage. Sit back and let it uncoil your tension. Visualize a breathing planet. Watch the breeze send a ripple through oatstraw. Street light and the snowy dusk.

Tomoa Narasaki's Early Life and Biography
Tomoa Narasaki is one of the best sports climbers in the world. He was born in 1996, on 22nd June, in Utsunomiya, Japan. He began climbing at the age of 10 with Sachi Amma in the climbing gym.
Before then, he was training gear gymnastics. He began training at ten since he had a problem with his nerves when he was younger.
Tomoa Narasaki won the Bouldering World Cup and Bouldering World Championship in 2016. His brother, Meichi Narasaki, is as well a pro sport climber.
Currently, Tomoa Narasaki is ranked as the best male climber worldwide. In addition, he is the current world cup and world, championship holder.
Tomoa Narasaki's Climbing Career
Since he was a young boy, Tomoa wanted to become a sports icon. When he was in elementary school, he did artistic gymnastics, though he stopped after some time since one of the routines became too intimidating, and he started looking for something new, hence climbing.
For his career, he decided to blend three disciplines; bouldering, leading, and speed climbing. While some people have come out to criticize his decision, he says he likes the challenge that these three disciplines present. So far, here is what he has achieved as a professional sports climber;
Olympic qualifiers
As mentioned above, Tomoa Narasaki began climbing at the age of 10, and since then, he has participated in multiple competitions and won most of them.
His most recent career move was when he made headlines with a double win in Japan. Tomoa was the only boulderer to top the boulders in the finals, completing two out of four, compared to none from his competitors Adam Ondra and Jakob Schubert.
What's more, Tomoa excels at the "parkour" style, which has become quite common in climbing competitions. The 2019 World Championships set ended up secluding some climbers who're typically better at more traditional bouldering styles.
All the same, Tomoa, along with another 3 Japanese climbers, qualified, and he was third overall with impressive results, though he was fourth in terms of speed. When it was time for the finals, he got 2nd place in speed climbing.
He broke the status quo with more than two tops when bouldering while the other competitors only managed one. Jakob Schubert was a close second, though he won with the best overall score.
Tomoa Nasaki's qualifying position from the overall scores earned him a spot in the 2020 summer Olympics in Tokyo. Again, he got featured in GQ Japan on multiple occasions. Currently, he is an icon and among the first climbers to compete for the first-ever Olympic Gold.
During the Climbing World Cup in 2018, Tomoa Narasaki came 2nd place in bouldering and combined, 16th in the lead.
In addition, in 2017, he came first in combined and 2nd place in bouldering. While 2019 was the first time for Tomoa to lead in the Combine Championships group, he was first in the bouldering world championships in 2016.
On the other hand, he was 5th in the combined category in 2018 and 7th in the bouldering group. Honestly, this year was not that good for his rock-climbing career. In the 2019 Climbing World Cup, he took the Gold in both the bouldering and Combined categories.
Lead climbing
Even though leading is not mainly a weakness for Narasaki, it is not necessarily his strong suit either. He lags in lead climbing compared to his results in other categories like bouldering and speed climbing.
Tomoa has never won Gold in World Championships or World Cup competitions when lead climbing, though he has come second in independent Cups.
Due to his concentration on strength, his build allows him to perform independent moves decently. On the other hand, he regularly tires close to the end than somewhat leaner Lead climbing professionals.
Speed climbing
Since he is a boulderer, Tomoa has excellent speed climbing duration and steadiness. In 2018, he was first in the Combined Cup in Japan and was able to break the speed record with 6.87 seconds.
This record was broken several times though Tomoa just broke it afresh in March 2021 at the Japan Climbing Cup at a remarkable 5.73 seconds.
Tomoa Narasaki's Personal Life
Not much is known about the personal life of professional climber Tomoa Narasaki; however, he married fellow sports climber Akiyo Noguchi. They tied the knot in 2021. Also, Tomoa is a non-vegetarian.
Tomoa Narasaki's Age, Height, and Weight
Seeing as Tomoa was born on 22nd June 1996, he is 25 years old. His height is 6 feet, and his weight stands at 68 Kgs. He always works out to maintain his weight and encourages others to work out.

On a yearly basis, industrial production in the U.K. gained 1.2% in April, exceeding expectations for a 0.6% rise, after a 1.1% increase in March. March's figure was revised up a 0.7% rise.
The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) released its estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.K. on Wednesday. The GDP estimate rose by 0.6% in three months to May, after a 0.5% growth in three months to April. The previous three months' figure was revised up from a 0.4% rise.
The NIESR said that the current estimate is consistent with a rebound of the economic growth in the U.K. in the second quarter, and it expects the U.K. economy to expand at 2.5% this year, and 2.4% next year.

APPLICATIONS: TELECOMMUNICATIONS
FFP-TFs made to conform to the widest envelope of acceptable end-customer design specifications in the world
Telecommunications skyadmin
Of the many innovative tunable technology platforms, Micron Optics Fiber Fabry-Perot Tunable Filters (FFP-TFs) have withstood the test of time and have been widely deployed in the field since the mid-1990s, enabling several critical tunable functionalities within telecom networks. Some examples of the use of Micron Optics FFP-TFs include:
Tunable optical noise filtering and channel locking
De-multiplexing of DWDM signals
Channel tracking
Rapid wavelength interrogation
Frequency control in tunable lasers
Applications of tunable filters in a dynamic network
Through state-of-the-art design, the Micron Optics FFP-TF captures the simplest embodiment for a fiber-based tunable filter. Fiber-only devices are pure, have less loss and encounter fewer optical aberrations than competing technologies. Since fewer components and materials are present in the clean optical path of the Micron Optics FFP-TF, the device is intrinsically more reliable, as proven by its full Telcordia Qualification (GR-2883). Due to Micron Optics' internal mirror design and production capabilities, the FFP-TFs can be made to conform to the widest envelope of acceptable end-customer design specifications in the world.
Micron Optics FFP-TF key features include:
High resolution, low loss, wide spectral range, and high transmission fidelity all in one
Continuous tuning over the O, E, S, C, and L bands
Robust signal tracking and locking capability
Conformance to the Airy function theory, allowing highly accurate measurements through robust de-convolution algorithm
Compact and rugged design, permitting small telecom module form-factors
Examples of Popular FFP-TF Telecom Applications:
Embedded Signal Tracking Filter
FFP-TFs can be employed as embedded signal tracking filters to reject amplified spontaneous noise. In particular, FFP-TFs have served a critical role in demonstrating superiority in sensitivity, simplicity, and cost of direct-detection receiver technology, and have been deployed extensively since the early stage of the DWDM era. In wavelength agile networks, these filters can be incorporated into a wavelength-switching matrix to rapidly track and reject optical noise in amplified or wavelength-converted channels.
Tunable Channel Locking
FFP-TFs are a key component in tunable channel lockers (TCL.) A TCL is an embedded network module capable of tuning to and dropping a designated wavelength as commanded by the network controller. Typically, a TCL will incorporate some channel monitoring functionalities, and it will reside in terminal equipment and add/drop or cross-connect sites. Some application examples may include "Broadcast-and-Select" networks and tunable bit-error-rate test (BERT) instruments.
The increase in transmission capacity imposes tremendous pressure on telecommunication companies because of greater potential for costly errors. Thus, it is more important than ever to ensure reliable high-bandwidth services to businesses and consumers. The performance monitoring and management of optical networks form a natural symbiotic link with the optical transmission system itself. The illustration below shows how optical performance monitoring, which incorporates a FFP-TF and its associated calibration technology, couples into an optical network.
Network monitoring applications for OCAs and OCMs.
The Optical Channel Analyzer (OCA) is required to continuously measure wavelength, power, and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the DWDM system channels with high accuracy and precision. The monitored information can be used to optimize system performance, correct for any changes and imbalances in the transmitters, modulators, amplifiers, optical attenuators, etc., and provide early warning of network degradation. OCAs are usually embedded at terminal and optical switching sites, while Optical Channel Monitors (OCMs) are used more widely to provide accurate power monitoring and coarse wavelength measurements to balance channel powers and identify physical fault locations. The optimal arrangement of OCAs and OCMs typically depends upon the DWDM system design.

Pairs of delay-coupled chaotic systems were shown to be able to achieve isochronal synchronization under bidirectional coupling and self-feedback. Such identical-in-time behavior was demonstrated to be stable under a set of conditions and to support simultaneous bidirectional communication between pairs of chaotic oscillators coupled with time-delay. More recently, it was shown that isochronal synchronization can emerge in networks with several hundreds of oscillators, which allows its exploitation for communication in distributed systems. In this paper, we introduce a conceptual framework for the application of isochronal synchronization to TDMA communication in networks of delay-coupled chaotic oscillators. On the basis of the stable and identical-in-time behavior of delay-coupled chaotic systems, the chaotic dynamics of distributed oscillators is used to support and sustain coordinate communication among nodes over the network. On the basis of the unique features of chaotic systems in isochronal synchronization, the chaotic signals are used to timestamp clock readings at the physical layer such that logical clock synchronization among the nodes (a prerequisite for TDMA) can be exploited using the same basic structure. The result is a standalone network communication scheme that can be advantageously applied in the context of ad-hoc networks or alike, especially short-ranged ones that yield low values of time-delay. As explored to its depths in practical implementations, this conceptual framework is argued to have potential to provide gain in simplicity, security and efficiency in communication schemes for autonomous/standalone network applications.


Glittering break beats are at home with bouncing berimbaus while rolling Afro-Brazilian rhythms, retro sambasoul and velvety bossa nova vocals mesh and groove organically. This is the unstoppable Brazilian Beat(Putumayo World Music; release: February, 2012).
Selected from tens of thousands of songs collected by the pioneering label created to introduce new global music to broad audiences, Brazilian Beat chronicles the vibrant indie scene in Brazil and around the world. Musicians are taking samba, bossa nova, and MPB (Brazilian popular music) and deftly incorporating electronica, soul, funk, and just about every other music imaginable.
Sultry or upbeat, the tracks on this compilation of hip, rootsy artists aim to raise listeners' moods and introduce even die-hard fans to a new crop of Brazilian music innovators. Featured alongside unsung icons such assamba soul master Marcos Valle are rising new stars like Tita Lima, daughter of the bassist from psychedelic hipster darlings Os Mutantes.
This exhaustive, music-driven approach uncovered artists such as Michigan-born, Brazilian singer-songwriterMônica da Silva or the Brazilian child-star turned pop diva Bruna Caram, whose carefree vocals dance over cool horns and sparkling keys on "Feriando Pessoul." It unearthed the wonderfully gritty sounds of a long-unreleased super group session led by New York-based Brazilian saxophonist Leo Gandelman (Brazilian Groove Band's "Bananiera") and highlighted the earthy pleasures of Rio-based Rogê's clavinet-flecked samba ("A Nega e O Malandra").

This piece looks at the recurring problem of inflated threat claims offered by executive branch actors to persuade the Nation to consent to the use of force. It sets out the experience of the Bush Administration's use of incorrect threat claims to persuade the country to consent to the use of force in Iraq as a backdrop to evaluating the President Obama's use of threat claims to support the continuing use of force in Afghanistan. Although comparison of threat advocacy by the Bush and Obama administrations must be imperfect, it allows for some observations about the extent to which the structures and incentives that have in the past allowed executive branch officials to assert unverified threats as certain and sufficient to justify the use of force have changed or remain the same. Because the structures and incentives that allow for the possibility of unverified threat claims have not changed significantly, and because significant legal changes to address the systematic problems are unlikely, this piece proposes that citizens can impose some minimal level of contemporaneous accountability on executive department threat claims offered to persuade them to consent to the use of force by keeping a several basic recognitions about executive department advocacy, intelligence information, and the incentives that impact oversight of executive branch activities in mind.

The Southern Boone Fire Protection District is looking for voters to approve the 12-cent per $100 of assessed value tax increase for the currently all-volunteer fire department on the April 2 ballot.
The cost of the tax increase to a homeowner with $150,000 of assessed value would be $32.20 per year.
The rise of growth within the district has lead to local volunteer firefighters responding to more than 800 calls in 2018. That is an average of 2.2 calls per day.
If approved, additional funding would go towards paying the volunteers in the fire department. The board advised having a paid fire chief, part-time assistant chief, hire clerical help, and a part-time maintenance person.
The department would also institute a sign-up for a 24-hour shift, paid at $100 per shift. During which the individual would agree to respond to all emergency calls. "We want at least two firefighters to respond to each emergency call," said Jim Cunningham fire board member.
"The cost of the paid on-call system would be about $73,000 per year. Considering that it would take over 10 times that amount to hire enough firefighters to be available 24-hours a day, seven days a week, we believe this is the best alternative," said Brandon Glascok fire board member.
The April 2 ballot will also include elections for the Protection District Board.
Two seats are contested by five candidates: Alicia Ozenberger, Shelley Martin, Liz Heyen, (all profiled in last week's Journal); Sam Scheulen and incumbent Jim Cunningham.


Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise.
Human industries have doubled atmospheric CO2 relative to the past 400,000 years.
This CO2 causes global warming and climate destabilization.
The Greenhouse Effect. The purpose of a greenhouse is to trap the sun's heat so that plants inside can stay warm. If you have ever gotten into a car on a sunny day, you are familiar with this effect. The atmospheric greenhouse effect keeps our planet warm enough for life, with greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) playing a similar role to the glass in a greenhouse.
The complete process is described in the image below.
We highly recommend this article from the New York Times, answering some common questions.
Infrared Radiation Anything warm emits infrared radiation. Hold the palm of your hand very close to your temple (between your ear and your eye), but your hand should not actually touch your head. Your hand should feel the heat radiating off of your head. That heat is actually infrared radiation; in this infrared image, the hot spot at the man's temple looks white.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Infrared radiation (heat) and visible light are both types of electromagnetic radiation. The sun radiates a tremendous amount of energy, mostly in the form of visible light. That energy causes the earth to warm up, and the earth, in turn, radiates heat. The image below compares the shortwave, visible radiation from the sun (large rainbow peak) with the longwave, infrared radiation from the earth (much smaller peak).
Carbon Dioxide Molecule Human industries and energy production depend on the burning of fossil fuels, which puts carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. The infrared radiation emitted by Earth interacts with atmospheric greenhouse gases, causing the molecules to vibrate. The vibrating molecules then send infrared radiation in all directions. Some of that radiation escapes the atmosphere, but some is returned to earth. This infrared radiation from vibrating gas molecules causes the earth to get warmer.
CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. Water is a significant greenhouse gas, but the amount of water in the atmosphere is determined by the earth's temperature and not directly affected by human activities. Our livestock and landfills produce methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, and we use some very potent greenhouse gases in refrigeration. Handling these other gases correctly is an important task for specialists, but most of us can focus on reducing our CO2 footprint.

MILWAUKEE — A 22-year-old man was shot and wounded after an incident near 22nd and Atkinson in Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon, May 14th.
Police say three people were sitting in a vehicle around 2:30 p.m. when two suspects approached the car. A confrontation began which led to gunfire.
The 22-year-old man was shot and taken to a hospital by friends. He is being treated for a non-life threatening injury.
Suspects are being sought in this case.
Lot of thugs sitting in a vehicle's, funny thing that is, what do you think they are doing, studying for school maybe?
Or maybe filling out job applications?


I like to look for the unfamiliar in familiar places, for what is different in the same, and what is striking about the ordinary. All too often we see what we want to see, or what we expect to see, and really don't look very closely at what is actually present. Part of this is our perspective; we see the world from a certain height above ground level, and a change of elevation can reveal things we (literally) overlook.
Today I parked on Lagoon Drive between the Dwight Davis Tennis Center and the Grand basin, and walked along some of the waterways in the park, circling Post Dispatch lake before leaving. There were only a few others out walking in the park today, but I did have some company. Canada geese flew overhead, honking cheerfully (are they giving each other directions? Commentary on the things below? Warnings about the perfidy of man?), I managed to startle 3 great blue herons who were resting on Wildlife Island across the lake from me (or maybe they were just tired of each other's company, as I later caught 2 of them fighting), there was a company of mallards near the boathouse, more Canada geese on the Grand Basin and a lone hooded merganser floated with the mallards on PD lake.
Here are all the photos from today.

BestInvest Croatia: Mate Rimac, founder of the year, Infobip and Microblink, receive awards for the best venture capital investment.
Croatian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (CVCA) organized the first conference BestInvest Croatia held today at the Westin, where awards were given for best private equity and venture capital (PE&VC) investments.
In the category of the founder of the year, the award went to Mate Rimac, Investor of the Year is One Equity Partners whose award was taken over by Ante Kusurin, director of One Equity Partners and Bozen Zivaljic from Infobip. At the same time, Damir Sabol from Mikroblink received the award for Venture Capital Investment of the Year.
The Private Equity Investment of the Year award was given to the M + Group, the Exit of the Year award was given to Dalmatia Hotels, i.e. Prosperus Invest, and the Fundraising Award of the Year was received by Fil Rouge Capital.
The added value of private equity investments is that in this type of business, as a rule, there is no space and need for services, which, unfortunately, often occur in some traditional forms of businesses in Croatia. Here, of course, in the light of current events, I mean the "services "of money transfers for bribery and corruption, and consequently the intervention of the Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime (Uskok). The private equity industry has a zero-tolerance rate for corruption. Therefore, it focuses on investing in companies that see their market globally, where there is no role for local community bosses in developing their businesses – said CVCA President Mirna Marovic in her speech.
Also, Ms. Marovic emphasized that "PE&VC investments aim to replace closures in secret clubs by opening offices around the world, and to replace the listing of business stories on the pages of the black chronicle with the listing of current and future Croatian 'unicorns' on world stock exchanges.
The Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Tomislav Coric, awarded the Investor of the Year award. The expert jury consisted of eminent experts from the business community: Velimir Srica (Faculty of Economics), Leo Mrsic (Algebra), Ivana Gazic (ZSE), Morena Plejic (ZSE), Hajdi Cenan (CroaAI), Iva Tomic (HUP) and Hrvoje Serdarusic.
In addition to the awards, a panel discussion on the prospects of the Croatian market was held, which brought together several significant investors. Among the investors' representatives were Michael Kedzia, a partner in the Polish private equity fund Enterprise Investors, Igor Hrzic from CEE Equity Partners, Ivan Josipovic from Invera Equity Partners, Luka Oreskovic from Prosperus Invest, Igor Cicak from Provectus Capital Partners, Vedran Blagus from South Central Ventures , Renata Brkic from Feelsgood Capital, and Julien Coustaury from Fil Rouge Capital. Investors agreed that the perception of Croatia as a country that is not attractive for investment is changing, and that Croatia has opportunities and potential. Investors believe that they not only offer money when investing, but also offer strategy and management, and create new values and strive to be partners. They add that the private equity industry will help not only the development of Croatia, but also competitiveness. Some of the sectors that are attractive to these investors are technology companies, logistics, energy, infrastructure, retail, tourism and private healthcare.
The second panel at the conference brought together many well-known founders of successful Croatian companies that are recognized around the world. Among the founders were Damir Sabol, a veteran of the Croatian IT scene and founder of Microblink and Photomath, Tana Zimmermann, co-owner of Bazzar.hr, Stjepan Buljat, co-founder of the Croatian-British start-up Cognism, Antonio Separovic, co-founder and CEO of Oradian, Josip Cesic, co-founder of Gideon Brothers, Jan de Jong, a Dutch entrepreneur with a Croatian address, and Mate Knezovic from Agrivi. The founders agreed that the most important thing for the company's success is to gather a good team. Croatia has an excellent opportunity to compete globally based on entrepreneurial ideas and knowledge. Tana Zimmermann emphasized that entrepreneurship is not taught in schools and that it is often challenging to find oneself between negotiating with investors and developing your business. All entrepreneurs at the panel believe that lifelong education is necessary for success. Croatia has many talented young people working on the visibility of Croatia on the map of successful global entrepreneurial stories.

« Dutch Bank Pays $1B to Settle Rate Rigging Charges | Main | The Perils of Keeping FCPA Infractions Under Wraps »
Booz Allen Settles Gender Discrimination Lawsuit
On the eve of trial, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. has settled with a former partner who accused the consulting firm of gender discrimination.
The trial was scheduled to start today in District of Columbia Superior Court. On Oct. 23, Booz Allen and plaintiff Molly Finn told the judge they had reached a settlement. The terms of the agreement are confidential, according to a Booz Allen spokesman.
Booz Allen is facing two other gender discrimination lawsuits still pending in Superior Court. Both cases mirror Finn's claims that the company pushed out women before they reached top leadership positions, an allegation Booz Allen has denied.
Richard Salzman and Stephen Chertkoff of Heller, Huron, Chertkoff & Salzman represented Finn. Neither could immediately be reached for comment this morning.
Booz Allen spokesman James Fisher declined to comment beyond confirming the case settled. McGuireWoods and Littler Mendelson represented the consulting firm. Lead counsel Stephen Robinson, a labor and employment partner in McGuireWoods' Tysons Corner, Va., office, said he had been handling employment matters for Booz Allen for at least 15 years.
Finn was the consulting firm's highest-ranking female partner before she was fired in September 2010, according to her complaint. She claimed the firm consistently forced out high-ranking women partners, paid women less and offered women fewer advancement opportunities. She filed suit in July 2011.
In August 2011, another former partner, Margo Fitzpatrick, filed a separate gender discrimination lawsuit against the company. Two years later, in May 2013, a former longtime attorney for the consulting firm, Carla Calobrisi, also filed gender discrimination claims. Both cases are still pending in D.C. Superior Court.
Fitzpatrick said she was fired as part of the firm's efforts to keep women out of upper management and in retaliation for reporting allegedly discriminatory behavior. Calobrisi said she was excluded from training and other advancement opportunities and was demoted before being forced to resign because of her age and gender.
Booz Allen denied any wrongdoing, saying previously that the personnel decisions at issue in Fitzpatrick and Calobrisi's cases were made for reasons other than their gender.
Finn's case was before Superior Court Judge Anita Josey-Herring.

BIG LIE, LITTLE LIE, OR NO LIE AT ALL???
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/apr/18/mayor-david-condon-denies-dishonesty-about-frank-s/
That is a question the City of Spokane Ethics Commission will have to answer.
"Did Mayor David Condon lie to the City Council when he told them that the Monique Cotton/Frank Straub Affair had nothing to do with the termination of the Mayor's really rotten hire of Frank Straub as Chief of Police for the City of Spokane."
The hearing lasted approximately four hours, and unfortunately was conducted as a "Contested Hearing" which prohibited the Ethics Commission from hearing all the evidence available to them unless they took it upon, or take it upon, themselves to review voluminous evidence available for their decision-making process.
Having studied all the available evidence I obtained through the PRR I submitted regarding the "Cotton/Straub Affair", and the response to which was intentionally delayed by Mayor Condon until well after his election, I know full well that for the Ethics Commission to study all the evidence, it would consume a good amount of their own time.
The complainant in the case against Condon, Joe Shogan, did subpoena me as a witness, I did comply with the subpoena and was the first to testify. Not everyone Shogan had subpoenaed showed up including a critical witness City Administrator Teresa Sanders, who had previously been fined by the Ethics Commission for false public comments and played a major part in delaying the response to my PRR until after Mayor Condon's election. Other no shows were Amber Waldref, and Breean Beggs. I should probably point out that an individual does not have to comply with an "Administrative Subpoena" and the only way the Ethics Commission an enforce their Administrative Subpoena is to obtain a court order for compliance in Superior Court.
It took a while to get the logistics for positioning witnesses for their testimony/questioning ironed out, but eventually it was and likely will be used in future hearings.
Mayor Condon's lawyer Jim King, as anticipated, objected to my testimony as being too narrative, and of course after Ethics Commission Vice-Chair Brian Steverson who honchoed the hearing consulted with former City Prosecutor Milt Roland who is now legal counsel for the Ethics Commission, Steverson sustained King's objection. Steverson did always defer to Milt Roland when there was an objection, and there were lots, the majority f which were sustained.
One of the funny things regarding my testimony is when Mr. King tried to imply to the Ethics Commission that I was violating the terms of the settlement agreement with Mayor Condon and the City by discussing the settlement, nothing of course could be further from the truth since as hard as the Mayor and the City tried, I absolutely refused to have confidentiality be a part of any settlement agreement. When I pointed out that Mr. King himself represented Mayor Condon during that process and he knew full well there was no confidentiality clause in the settlement agreement, he had no further questions for some reason. I testify that during the process of exposing the Cotton/Straub Affair and the intentional delay of providing responsive records to me, Mayor Condon kept the City Council completely in the dark about what was going on with the Cotton/Straub Affair even to the point that then Council Member Jon Snyder had to submit his own PRR requesting that he receive everything I did in response to my PRR.
I think a reasonable person could, if they wanted to, draw the conclusion that Mayor Condon tried so hard to keep the details of the Cotton/Straub Affair from the City Council back then that it would only make sense that he wouldn't want to admit that Monique Cotton had anything to do with his rotten hire of Frank Straub and Straub's subsequent termination.
It is too bad Teresa Sanders didn't show, I would have liked to have heard Mr. Shogan ask her why she lied in this email to Laurie Farnsworth.
Of course, after a long drawn out battle we learned that Sanders did in fact have a lot of responsive records including text messages and interview notes, but who in the heck would want that kind of bad stuff made public…right?
Sanders Notes:
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/c98c9687-7d59-4609-97c4-ed4dce5a50dd
During the hearing there was quite a bit of testimony, including from Mayor Condon regarding why he moved Cotton to Parks, basically Condon testified that the Park Department needed her because of the River Front Park imitative and her great PR expertise. What didn't come out was that prior to moving Cotton from SPD she had been working from home to stay completely away from Straub, aside from that fact before moving Cotton to Parks he tried to dump her on the Fire Department, but they would have nothing to do with it.
Another interesting fact that wasn't brought out was that Monique Cotton received a pay raise when she was transferred, some of course believe it was hush money for some reason…can't understand why!
What is also interesting from the public record is the different drafts regarding Cotton's move to Parks that were negotiated with the Mayor.

At east the May 4th, 2015 letter finally got the raise thrown in.

Mr. King, Condon's lawyer did call as a witness former City Attorney Erin Jacobson, who of course backed her former boss by stating that Monique Cotton had nothing at all to do Straub's termination, then quickly invoked Attorney Client Privilege and of course just couldn't say anything more, which was to be expected.

Despite Jacobson claiming the Privilege it would have been nice to have heard Joe Shogan cross-examine her regarding statements she reportedly made to Sara Lynds regarding the Cotton/Straub Affair.

There was of course a lot of testimony about a meeting that took place prior to the letter submitted to Condon by the Unions and Senior SPD Staff interesting thing about that meeting is that according to Steinolfson the Unions and Senior Staff "Not looking towards vote of no confidence…".

To answer a question a couple of the Ethics Commission Members had regarding why despite no formal complaint being made by an investigation wasn't done regarding Straub Harassing Cotton, among others. The answer is simple, if you do conduct the proper investigation it leaks out and boy are we gonna look bad!
Some folks might find this email exchange between Bob Dunn, Cotton's lawyer, and Nancy Isserlis in which Dunn tries to get the City to pay his bill for representing Cotton, kind of funny, I actually didn't and can't help but wonder if we taxpayers ever did pay Cotton's legal bill.
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/94d444b1-b51a-46af-afe6-5754d1f07ec0
I for one find it a bit odd that even though Cotton was represented by a lawyer, made allegations among other things that Straub "grabbed her ass", and "tried to kiss her", Mayor Condon was so concerned he even went to Dunn's office to discuss the complaint, that Monique Cotton according to Condon had nothing what so ever to do with Straub's termination… weird stuff…right?
Yes, that's right, there is a big pot load of evidence the Ethics Commission doesn't have to gain a much better picture of what actually took place, I have made up my mind based upon a study of all the available public records, and can't see how any reasonable person could not draw the conclusion that Monique Cotton was a major part of the Straub termination, of course you can draw your own conclusions, but keep in mind there is plenty of more evidence than the small amount I provided here.

Senator Edward Kennedy: A Record of Leadership on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and HIV Issues
September 2, 2009 by Gary Kopycinski
Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)– The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, released the following document on Senator Edward M. Kennedy's (D-MA) historic leadership on issues of importance to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Senator Kennedy has been a champion for civil rights since his first term in the United States Senate in 1962. Over the years, Ted Kennedy has supported legislation that promotes equal rights and has fought closed-minded and discriminatory measures. Senator Kennedy has been an unwavering supporter of the LGBT community, leading the charge on important legislation like the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act and forcefully opposing discriminatory proposals, including the Defense of Marriage Act and the Federal Marriage Amendment. Senator Kennedy has received a perfect 100% on all of HRC's congressional scorecards (101st Congress-110th Congress).
Earlier today, the Human Rights Campaign issued the following statement today on the passing of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA).
"The nation has lost its greatest champion and strongest voice for justice, fairness, and compassion," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "The loss to our community is immeasurable. There was no greater hero for advocates of LGBT equality than Senator Ted Kennedy. From the early days of the AIDS epidemic, to our current struggle for marriage equality he has been our protector, our leader, our friend. He has been the core of the unfinished quest for civil rights in this country and there is now a very painful void. Our hearts go out to the Kennedy family."
In 2008, Senator Kennedy delivered an impassioned speech to the Board of the Human Rights Campaign regarding his support for LGBT issues:
For further information regarding Senator Kennedy's long record of support and leadership on LGBT issues, please contact Trevor Thomas, Deputy Communications Director of the Human Rights Campaign, at 202-216-1547 or at [email protected].

In the Words of Senator Ted Kennedy:
"No member of the LGBT community should be terrified to walk down the street for fear of hateful violence. Hate crimes perpetrators must not be allowed to place our communities in fear." (Statement on Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, 2009)
"Hate crimes are a form of domestic terrorism. They send the poisonous message that some Americans deserve to be victimized solely because of who they are" (Statement on hate crimes, 2007)
"America stands for justice for all. Congress must make clear that when we say "all" we mean all. America will never be America until we do."(Statement on ENDA, 2007)
"It is wrong for our civil laws to deny any American the basic right to be part of a family, to have loved ones with whom to build a secure future and share life's joys and tears, and to be free from the stain of bigotry and discrimination." (Statement on the Federal Marriage Amendment, 2006)
"While we have come a long way, we still face major challenges in responding to this devastating disease in communities across the country… [N]o state by itself can provide the significant resources to help persons living with HIV disease obtain the medical and support services they need. The Ryan White CARE Act is indispensible…We know that the CARE Act has made a difference not only in the lives of persons with HIV/AIDS, but also in the lives of countless loved ones who have seen despair turn to hope through the support of CARE Act services." (Statement on the Ryan White CARE Act Reauthorization, 2000)
"We all know what this issue is about. It's not about how to protect the sanctity of marriage, or how to deal with activist judges. It's about politics and an attempt to drive a wedge between one group of citizens and the rest of the country, solely for partisan advantage. We've rejected that tactic before, and I'm hopeful that we will do so again. I'm also hopeful that many of our Republican colleagues – those with whom we've worked over the years on a bipartisan basis to expand and defend the civil rights of gay and straight Americans alike – will join us in rejecting this divisive effort." (Statement on the Federal Marriage Amendment, 2004)
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
