For years Feldenkrais practitioners have successfully used the kinesthetic imagination to help clients make improvements in their ability to move easily. Now researchers have found we can also strengthen muscles simply by imagining movements.
Dr. Vinoth Ranganathan and his team of researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation had a group of 30 young adults imagine using either the muscle of their little finger or their elbow flexor for 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks. They had the participants think about moving the muscle being tested and make imaginary movements as real as they were able.
Results were compared to a control group that did no imaginary exercises. The little finger group increased muscle strength by 35% and the elbow group increased strength by 13.4%. The control group made no gains in strength at all. Brain scans taken after the study showed greater and more focused activity in the prefrontal cortex of those that used their imaginations. The researchers postulated that the gains in the imaginary exercise group were made because of improvements in the brain's ability to signal the muscle the exercisers focused on.
Once again research shows that it's the brain that makes the difference. Moshe Feldenkrais said many times that he was more interested in training flexible brains than flexible bodies. However, the reverse is also true, if you have a flexible brain you will have a more flexible body.
Try this Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lesson. It will give you a sense of how your brain organizes your muscles to move. I can't say that after one experience with this lesson that you'll have stronger muscles but it will show you how effective the kinesthetic imagination can be.
Turn to one side and back to center. Notice how you did this movement. How much of yourself did you include as you did the movement? Did you turn only from your head and neck or was more of yourself involved?
Now turn to the other side and back to center. Does it feel the same or different than the other side? Which side had the greater range?
Rest for a few moments before continuing.
Now turn to the easier side and stay there. Look at the spot on the wall where your nose is pointing. This is your reference point. Return to center.
Staying in this position, imagine that your entire upper body is glued together so the head, neck, shoulders and arms have to move as a unit. Now turn again to the easier side and back to center a few times Keep your movement at about 60% of your capacity so that it feels dead easy. With the constraint placed on the upper body you now have to turn differently. Notice that you have to include your ribs and pelvis in the movement.
Continue to do the movement on the same side slowly and thoughtfully many times. Feel what is happening in your ribs, your pelvis, your legs and feet.
Bring your hands to your lap and turn to the same side. Notice any improvements in your turning.
Now, put your hands back around your chin but imagine the movement that you did on the other side. Repeat this in your imagination 10 times slowly including all the sensations you remember feeling on the other side.
Bring your hands down to your lap and turn again to this side. Notice the improvements that have come simply by imagining the movement.

Beyond health care: the other determinants of health
Trevor Hancock
CMAJ December 18, 2017 189 (50) E1571; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1503/cmaj.171419
The perception that health comes from the health care system is widespread. Yet the health care system accounts only for a small — albeit important — part of the overall health of the population, mainly through treatment. It's really an illness care system. Most major determinants of health lie outside the health system, something that, to its credit, the Canadian Medical Association highlighted in its 2013 report Health Care in Canada: What Makes Us Sick?.
A 2014 policy brief found the health care system to be responsible for just 10%–20% of broadly defined health outcomes. Behaviour accounted for 30%–50%, social circumstances (which, along with physical environments, largely shape behaviour) accounted for 15%–40%, and genetic factors and the physical environment accounted for 20%–30% and 3%–20%, respectively. The recent report of The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health held pollution alone responsible for 16% of all deaths globally.
This is hardly a new understanding. The Canadian government's 1974 landmark Lalonde Report suggested four health fields: human biology, lifestyle, environment and health care. It famously stated, "there is little doubt that future improvements in the level of health of Canadians lie mainly in improving the environment, moderating self-imposed risks and adding to our knowledge of human biology."
Two other key Canadian initiatives — the 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, and the concept of population health championed by Dr. Fraser Mustard through the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research — expanded the list of determinants of health from the four health fields of the Lalonde Report to a dozen or more. Among the main determinants of health today in Canada are the "prerequisites for health" identified in the Ottawa charter: peace, shelter, education, food, income, a stable ecosystem, sustainable resources, and social justice and equity.
This is why much of the work of public health is conducted outside the health sector, working to change the environmental, social and economic conditions we have created to make them more health-enhancing. Any attempt to reduce the overall burden of disease, including the excess burden rooted in health inequalities, must address factors that lie upstream of the health care system. In addition to those listed in the Ottawa charter, these include ensuring clean water and air, clean and reliable energy, quality early child development experiences and — since we are 80% urbanized and spend most of our time indoors — healthy built environments.
Clearly most of these factors do not lie within the jurisdiction of the Minister of Health or the health authorities. Thus governing sectors most responsible for the health of the population are beyond health care. In fact, almost every governmental minister is in some sense a Minister of Health, and almost every municipal department is a local health department. We need to broaden our concept of health policy and ask ourselves, in what way is current food, housing, transport, or economic policy bad for health, and, conversely, what would a healthy housing and transport policy look like? We have to ask, what business is government in — and society as a whole, for that matter? Is it simply to grow the economy — which is what federal and provincial governments seem to think — or to maximize human health, well-being, quality of life and development?
Improving population health must become the responsibility of the whole government — and of society as a whole. We need to create the conditions for good health through healthy public policies at all levels, complemented by health-promoting private sector policies.
And there is no need to reinvent the wheel. In 2009, a Senate Subcommittee on Population Health released a report that has been completely ignored. It called for a "whole of government" approach to population health, with a Cabinet Committee on Population Health chaired by the premier or prime minister and charged with developing a population health improvement plan. Such a reorientation of government towards health and human development is what I call "reform for health." It is perhaps the most important health innovation we need in the 21st century.

After the problems caused by the Cambridge Analytica case and the improper use of user data taken from Facebook, there has been widespread news this week about Instagram suddently throttling of access to its API.
First of all, we must say this new regulation will not affect Websays functionality.
Instagram gives every connected App a limit to how often it can request data and, with these new regulations, they have reduced this limit for all API users. So, if in the past someone could create an Instagram app and use a single user account to make 5,000 API requests per hour, now the limit is 200 request per hour and Instagram account.
Nevertheless, we think this is a very reasonable change that has been made, as it brings Instagram in line with Facebook user rate limits and, moreover, it will impact those that collect data in a non-legitimate manner. At Websays, as we've always asked the users of our platform to authenticate their Instagram account, we've never come close to hitting our rate limit and means we still have enough capacity to continue crawling despite these changes.
2. Restriction of certain types of potentially personally identifiable data that could be used for illegitimate purposes.
Regarding these second area of regulations, although these restrictions are again designed to target organizations harvesting massive amounts of personal data, some changes are applied to our platform that we must comment in the following lines.
Firstly, we must highlight that we can still gather all of your owned post and associated metrics and we still have access to comment data. However, to continue to do this, we are required to make a small change to our platform architecture. If you have any doubt about this change, do not hesitate to consult your analyst.
Regarding the non-owned channels (por instance, other brands or influencer's channels), we are no longer able to receive data for this use case and, based on the statements from Instagram, we don't expect this functionality to return. Moreover, it is no longer possible to see the avatar and the user name of the Instagram accounts that are not authenticated in Websays.
If we talk about the hashtags, (in the query builder), we are still able to gather all posts for hashtags in the query builder despite the new data regulations.

The Time Of Our Lies, Park Theatre, review
A noble – if misguided – effort to translate a historian's work from page to stage, Bianca Bagatourian's The Time Of Our Lies often feels a little too much like a lecture.
Despite its faults, The Time of Our Lies at the Park Theatre is a timely reminder that we should all make more of an effort to know our history. Running to just over an hour with no interval, the production is largely an imagined monologue, delivered by Howard Zinn, whose 'A People's History of the United States' has become one of the twentieth century's seminal works of popular history. Martina Laird (in place of David Benzali) gives a highly commendable performance in the central role, managing to find both mirth and despair in her portrayal of Zinn's personal recollections and public opinions.
Laird also meshes well with her fellow cast members as the action shifted from Zinn's internal musings to one of the intermittent "reconstructions" of individuals' suffering throughout the twentieth century. The most moving of these was Trang Le's portrayal of a Vietnamese girl's reaction to the loss of her family at the hands of American troops. Interrogated by Claire Lebowitz King's undefined camouflaged figure of authority, the scale of the young girl's catastrophe was effectively, albeit painfully, realised through the well-devised dialogue. Despite being consumed by grief, she answers all her interlocutor's questions merely by stating the facts: x number of soldiers had indiscriminately killed y number of her immediate family while she hid, helpless, in a bunker. Her measured responses reduce the interrogator from initial hostility to ultimate empathy and stress the importance of recording, understanding and evaluating the very personal impact of very public policy decisions, whilst reflecting Zinn's own commitment in his work to championing the voice of the man or woman in the street and in particular, the man or woman in a foreign land who had been on the wrong side of the U.S.A.'s foreign policy.
Zinn's drive to capture the other side of the story, the history of the bombed rather than the bombers, was most likely to have been derived, in part at least, from his own harrowing experiences of bombing French villages at the end of World War II and is demonstrated by the recurrent, mournful and haunting pleadings of a mystery, perhaps Middle Eastern woman. Her suffering, initially dismissed on account of linguistic incomprehensibility, eventually becomes jarringly immediate, through repetition at various stages during The Time of Our Lies and juxtaposition with the distressing "reconstructions" of personal anguish. Again for Zinn, both at home and abroad, not enough voices were heard, believed and understood in the context of their time to convey to a wider public audience the personal suffering that stemmed from public or foreign policy. As he said himself, 'If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.'
The Time of our Lies contains well-crafted moments that induce raw empathy in the audience, and certainly at times challenge our thinking. However, as a whole, they're numbed by a less nuanced, didactic tone to Zinn's monologue. It often feels like the audience are being lectured: bombs are bad, governments are evil, etc. This is fine in the lecture hall on campus, but Zinn's beliefs do not translate so well to the stage where drama – rather than one-sided invective – is expected. Bianca Bagatourian's text would perhaps work better if Zinn was more of a peripheral figure, with the more arresting, influential dramatic interludes leading the progression of Zinn's monologue; the history leading the historian, rather than the other way round. Still, at just over an hour, the lecture we receive isn't too long and it's worth listening to for the sporadic moments that make us really think how, for our own benefit, as well as for the rest of the world, we ought to make more effort to study and know our history.

In Diversity, Gender, Generations•March 1, 2010•6 Minutes
Do Millennial Women Truly Have It All?
By Tina Vasquez (Los Angeles)
It seems as if young working women not only feel as if they can have it all, but a shockingly high percentage reports that they do have it all. According to recent research by Accenture, young professional women ages 22-35 – otherwise known as "millennial women" – believe they will have rewarding careers in equal balance with fulfilling personal lives, despite a rough economy and corporate structures that are still lacking in their understanding of women's dual obligations in the workplace and at home.
The Millennial Women Workplace Success Index marked the results of an online study taken by 1,000 millennial women currently employed full-time in the U.S. According to the index, 94 percent believe they will achieve a work/life balance and even more astonishing, almost half (46 percent) of the women surveyed believe their work life and personal life are in equal balance.
Accenture's U.S. Human Capital and Diversity Managing Director Lamae Allen deJongh was extremely surprised by the index's findings- as were many, but she does not believe that the statistics are the result of naiveté on behalf of young or inexperienced women. "I think the results speak to the high degree of confidence of millennial women," deJongh said. "And because of their confidence, their work/life balance goals are realistic. Having a satisfying professional life and a gratifying personal life is important to them; it exemplifies the fact that they believe they can have it all."
Evolving Views on Work/Life Balance
The issue of work/life balance was so important to millennial women, in fact, that a whopping 70 percent cited the ability to "maintain work/life balance" as one of the most typical qualities of a successful female business leader. Sixty-six percent also stated that being flexible was important, as was being able to make an impact, which was cited as the third most important characteristic by 64 percent of the women surveyed.
Women of older generations came up the ranks in a more difficult time when they often felt as if they had to choose between their career and their family; sacrificing one in order to be a success at the other. It seems as if millennial women don't feel the pressure to choose a single path, because to them, having a successful career and a happy family aren't mutually exclusive goals; they are one in the same. This is perfectly illustrated by the average millennial woman's definition of success. According to young women in the workplace today, success is not defined as making partner, becoming company president, or being named a COO. Rather, their success is defined as "doing meaningful work while also maintaining a work/life balance."
If so many women in the workplace have severely struggled to maintain a balance between their lives and their work, why are millennial women – for a lack of a better term – so cocky? Again, it all comes back to confidence – and for good reason. Young women in the workplace today have an unprecedented set of skills that women of previous generations did not. The average millennial woman is more capable of managing her life and her career because of new technology, expert multi-tasking skills, and the advent of social networking sites.
Changing Views on Gender Barriers
According to the index, another important factor is fueling the confidence of millennial women: the barriers to professional success are changing. Only 12 percent of the women surveyed cited marriage as a barrier to their career, while 19 percent cited maternity policies.
Also interesting, despite facts that speak to the contrary, 46 percent of the millennial women surveyed believe more women are being appointed to serve on boards and in C-suite positions than five years ago, even though only 15 percent of board positions are held by women nationally, which is actually down from last year.
Non-millennial women often place a great amount of importance on having a female role model or mentor because they didn't have the opportunity to have one as they were coming up in the workplace. Because of that, many corporations now have mentoring programs that team up senior women and young hopefuls. It's believed that a mentor can be impactful on a woman's career and helpful to her success.
According to Accenture's study however, young, professional women place very little importance on role models. When the survey respondents were asked to identify the most helpful in driving professional success, only 16 percent responded with "women in company leadership" (i.e. C-suite, boardroom) and just 18 percent cited having female role models. Compared to the nearly 60 percent that cited "a good work atmosphere," it becomes abundantly clear that millennial women have a different vision, a different set of priorities, and a different skill set. We'll have to wait and see if their confidence allows them to balance the best of both worlds – professionally and personally.

The New European Emissions Standards
The footnote in the preceding paper by M. P. Walsh on the implications for climate modification due to vehicle emissions, points out that recent changes in European Economic Community standards will invalidate some of the data and some of the conclusions therein.
The "Luxembourg" agreement of June 1985 set carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides emissions standards for cars with large (over 2 litres capacity) and medium (1.4 to 2 litres capacity) sized engines. Now the Council Directive (89/458/EEC), published on 18th July 1989, sets mandatory standards for small cars (<1.4 litres capacity) which will come into effect during the year 1992.
Emission levels are monitored during a test cycle, which currently represents a typical European city driving cycle, and in the new small car standards these are limited to 5 grams and 19 grams per test for hydrocarbons plus nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, respectively.
These new small car standards are equivalent to those that have been applied in the United States of America since 1983; and based upon experience gained there, it is expected that three-way catalysts employing platinum metals will be used to meet these new European standards. The result will be to retard the rate at which the activities of man are damaging the global environment. It is expected that during 1990 agreement will be reached within the European Communities to bring in similar, and also mandatory standards, to apply to medium and large cars from 1992.

How This Startup Founder Triumphed Over His Year of Hell
Kyle Racki, Proposify CEO and Kevin Springer, Proposify COO
Michelle Doucette
By Kevin Kelleher
Any experienced entrepreneur can tell you that two keys to a successful startup are a solid business idea — especially one that solves a big problem for others — and the tenacity to make it work. Kyle Racki hit on the former when he was running a web design agency and came up with a faster, better way to create proposals for clients. It was what happened to him in the following year that tested his tenacity.
In 2013, Racki co-founded Proposify with Kevin Springer in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The startup created a cloud-based service that mixes templates, design features and flexible customization to speed up the chore of sales, marketing and web design proposals. Traditionally, these were created in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, but Proposify's tools are tailored specifically for proposals, adding collaboration and signature features to simplify the process. Some users say the software has cut a two-week process down to a couple of hours.
But it took about a year for Proposify to get enough traction to generate a substantial customer base. During that period, the co-founders almost gave up. Along the way, nearly everything began to go wrong in Racki's life. The digital agency he was also running ran into debt. Selling it turned into a lengthy and arduous task. His father died, weighing him down with grief. He separated from his wife. On top of that, Racki's mother and sister broke off contact with him after he began to question the religion in which his parents had raised him, Jehovah's Witnesses.
"I finally gave myself permission to look at outside material that was critical of the religion. And when I told my mother about it, she said she would never speak to me again. Everyone I knew in that religion would not even say hi to me on the street," says Racki. "So, yeah, it was a crazy year, and in the midst of that, trying to run a business and keep that flow was really tough."
A low point came when Racki was driving across a bridge to Halifax and realized he didn't have enough money to pay the toll. "You often hear the difference between success and failure is a matter of who gives up first," he says. He and Springer kept each other anchored, each pushing the other along when one was feeling down. "As long as there is some positive sign that you're onto something, you keep doubling down until you hit it. And it can take a while."
Positive signs began to emerge the following year. While attending a demo camp in Boston, Proposify elicited customer interest, and soon closed a $250,000 seed found of financing. Around that time, the digital agency finally sold, freeing Racki and Springer up to focus on Proposify. In September 2014, the number of customers finally began to increase, doubling every month. "Once it started taking off it just kept going," says Racki.
Today, Proposify has nearly 2,500 paying customers, who have in aggregate won close to $4 billion in business while using its software. Racki says the company is starting to reach out to bigger firms in a broader array of industries to maintain growth. The company's revenue is currently at an annual recurring revenue rate above $1 million. Proposify hopes to triple that figure by the end of the year.
Looking back, Racki says that pouring his energy into building Proposify helped make it easier to deal with the turmoil that was going on in other parts of his life. He blogs about the silver-lining lessons he learned in his religious upbringing. Some examples: "Be truly pumped about what you're selling," "Get over rejection." He is forthright about what carried him through the annus horribilis of his company's founding.
"It's just tenacity," says Racki. "The alternatives are much more horrible than the idea of just pushing through and trying to make the business work."
And therein lies a lesson for Silicon Valley, where there is practically a cult for the overhyped, overvalued unicorn. A truer mascot of entrepreneurialism is probably the phoenix, the creature that can somehow find a way to rise up when it seems like everything is collapsing around it.
This New Feature Could Fix Your Windows 10 Problems


Bankruptcy car loans are extended to persons who have a recent bankruptcy on their record and may not qualify for a loan under normal circumstances. By seeking a dedicated bankruptcy loan, these people can obtain high-interest financing and the opportunity to purchase a vehicle. While they often come hand-in-hand, bankruptcy car loans an upside down car loans are very different.
Being upside down on a loan simply means you owe more on the financing than the asset is now worth. It is possible to be upside-down on a mortgage loan if your home has decreased in value. The same is possible on an auto loan. When you go to trade-in your vehicle, you may find the trade in amount you receive is less than you still remain on the loan itself. In this case, you will have to pay off the initial loan and then purchase the new car without the advantage of the trade-in for a down payment. Essentially, you will have negative equity in the car.
It is best to attempt to settle or refinance a loan when you find yourself upside down. Many lenders will be hesitant to do this because they will make less money on the loan than they originally anticipated. However, through negotiations, it is usually possible to modify a loan.
How are Bankruptcy and Upside Down Loans Confused?
There are a number of reasons why people confuse these two types of loans. One reason for the confusion happens when a car is seized and liquidated by a bankruptcy court. When a court orders liquidation of an automobile, it is usually to pay off the auto loan lender. The court will sell the car and repay at least a portion of the loan. Most car loans are recourse loans. This means the borrower has to pay the difference of the loan amount and the trade in amount if the trade in amount has dropped. In this case, the bankrupt individual will find himself or herself attempting to close an upside down loan.
Another reason the two loans are confused is because a person may need to seek a bankruptcy car loan after exiting an upside down loan. Since there will be no asset to use as down payment, the loan will be very high risk for the lender and the borrower. If the borrower additionally has a recent bankruptcy on record, this means a bankruptcy loan will be necessary.
A bankruptcy loan is a good option for high risk vehicle financing. While the loan will be expensive, it may be the only type of loan a person recovering from bankruptcy is eligible for. Further, when you pay off a bankruptcy loan, your credit score will take a significant step up. Your credit score will increase more, relatively, for a high risk loan than a low risk loan. Taking out a bankruptcy car loan is a great way to start rebuilding your credit when you are in a compromised financial state.

For you to be able to publish your app on Google Play Store having a Google account is a pre-requisite, I mostly recommend that you have a specific email created just for Google Play developer account. To be able to publish your app you need to pay $25 Google Play registration fee so you will be able to access Google Play Developer Console and begin to publish your apps.
It is important to go through all the list of developer and merchant countries so that you will know the location where Google Play users are mostly supported and that also enable you to sell your app if it is for sale or for subscriptions also.
Before proceeding simply read all the developer distribution agreement in order for them not to find fault in your app or for you not to violate their policy, so that you can prevent yourself from being at fault in the future.
Upload'. apk' file of your desired app.
>>4. It is better to do a 'Beta' or 'Alpha testing' to get the feedback of end users before publishing your app and this will help you for better optimization of your uploaded app and also to make a reasonable change to the app if the need arises.
>>5. Simply head to 'Store listing' which is most necessary part of uploading the app. In there you will be given a platform to add a short/full description of the app, screenshots, videos, category, ranking, contact details etc. The list can also be adjusted in the future in case there is any mistake or error, so don't bother if you make any mistake in the process.
>>6. Decide whether your app is 'free' or 'paid' in the 'Pricing and Distribution' section. Just select the distribution countries or location and also adequate category that suite your apps.
>>7. Go ahead and publish your app and wait for it to appear on Google store. Note even at the point of publication you can also make changes to some feature such as the pricing, configuration, distribution that you require may be later in the future.
It is recommended to make effectively use of the options and devices present in the Play Store that usually have good compatibility of your uploaded to be able eliminate some of the negative feedback from users, control the distribution to remove any thing that is not relevant in the app to serve your users more effectively and for it to continue appearing at the top in the store for more easy accessibility.
After undergoing all the steps in this post, you will realize that publishing an app in the Google Play Store is not a big deal, but bear in mind that your app should be unique to be able to stand out among thousands of apps present in the Store.

This is what's happening to the traveller caravans in King's Hedges
The council have promised to take action against the group
Abigail Rabbett
Cambridge city council has promised action will be taken against travellers who pitched up on Nun's Way Recreation Ground a week ago.
Around 20 caravans have been spotted on the playing field, much to the concern of residents.
Two caravans were first spotted on Wednesday, August 8.
A spokesperson for Cambridge City Council has said a welfare assessment of the traveller groups has been conducted and a court summons has been served.
The caravans arrived on Wednesday
This comes after one concerned resident contacted Cambridgeshire Live to say he saw a man defecating by the side of the football pitch as more caravans arrived on site.
He continued to say if the travellers stayed he would have nowhere to take his children or walk his dog over the weekend .
A magistrates' court hearing is due to take place tomorrow (Thursday, August 16) to gain an order, which once gained will be served to the people on site.
Initial pictures showed a few caravans parked on the grass , close to the Co-Op.
However the group soon grew in size.
Two caravans on Nun's Way Recreation ground.
"They have taken over one half of the playing field," the concerned resident added.
"We are losing our areas and it's unacceptable - it's so frustrating and out of control.
"I am going to stop paying my council taxes and see how it goes."
A spokesman for Cambridge City Council said: "The council completed a welfare assessment of the traveller groups located at Nuns Way, as we are legally bound to do.

What Was Hillary Clinton's Previous Job? Liberals Don't Even Know !!!
BIAS ALERT: New York Times finds latest Clinton Foundation bombshell unfit to print
If you look hard enough, you find there's usually a reason for everything -- even at The New York Times.
But whatever the reason -- maybe it was the story about a parasite jeopardizing fly fishing in Montana, or those Russian hackers who attacked the Gray Lady's Moscow bureau -- the latest Clinton Foundation bombshell couldn't be found among "All the News That's Fit to Print."
The Associated Press scoop Tuesday found that at least 85 of 154 people who got an audience with Hillary Clinton while she led the State Department had donated to her family charity. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million and included private citizens with business before the government. It's as close to a "pay to play" smoking gun as has emerged to date.
"The meetings between the Democratic presidential nominee and foundation donors do not appear to violate legal agreements Clinton and former president Bill Clinton signed before she joined the State Department in 2009," the AP wrote. "But the frequency of the overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission for face time with Clinton."
There's one thing about our Olympics team NO ONE will discuss…so I will
Well, the 2016 Summer Olympic Games are over and the U.S. completely dominated the final medal count overall. In my assessment, the Olympics kinda ended with a whimper, as the focus became the foolish scandal surrounding Ryan Lochte. But as I was watching the Olympics, and paying attention to some changes in our Department of Defense policy, I must ask a question and seek your thoughts, perspectives and insights. Now that Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, an Obama figurehead, declared all combat duty positions open to females in the U.S. military, I just have to ask: why do we still have male-female separate sports teams?
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, issued a directive, shared here, that there will no longer be gender-biased duty descriptions; everything is gender neutral. You know, no more infantrymen or artillerymen…even no more corpsman. I tend to believe Barack Obama appreciated that since he had issues pronouncing the last one.
So if, when it comes to our national security where progressive socialists don't recognize gender differences, why then is it the case in sports? I mean do we really need NBA and WNBA? Why not just have a single National Basketball Association where everyone gets to try out, male or female. I mean c'mon, if the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America can declare all duty positions in the U.S. military open to females — and Miss USA 2016, Deshauna Barber, an Army logistics officer, can declare women are just as capable as men in combat — why have separate teams?
Chicago's detective force dwindles as murder rate soars
Every two weeks, Cynthia Lewis contacts the detectives investigating the homicide of her brother on Chicago's south side almost a year ago.
They have had no success finding who shot Tyjuan Lewis, a 43-year-old father of 15, near his home in the quiet Roseland neighborhood of single-family houses.
The death of Lewis, who delivered the U.S. mail for 20 years, is one of hundreds of slayings in 2015 that have gone unsolved as the number of homicides soared in Chicago, piling pressure on a shrinking detective force.
In a city with as many as 90 shootings a week, homicides this year are on track to hit their highest level since 1997.
DSP: Portable Meth Lab Discovered in Felton
Felton, DE – Troopers uncovered a one-pot meth lab upon while conducting a drug investigation south of Felton.
The preliminary investigation has determined the incident occurred around 6:52 a.m. Friday August 26, 2016, as troopers were dispatched to the location in the 5,000 block of Little Mastens Corner Road to investigate a domestic related complaint. Upon arrival, troopers found Lawrence D. Grimm had initially barricaded himself in a bathroom. He was later taken into custody without incident. At that time, it was determined that he had discarded an active one-pot meth bottle in a trash can outside the residence prior to troopers arriving to the residence.
Upon taking the Grimm into custody, the active one pot meth bottle began to smoke. The residence was subsequently evacuated and scene secured until the arrival of the Delaware State Police Kent County Drug Unit, Governor's Task Force, Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), and the Felton Community Fire Company who responded to assist with the investigation. A search was conducted which revealed equipment and component mixtures of the manufacturing stages of Meth along with key ingredients in making the drug.
Lawrence D. Grimm, 37 of Felton, was transported to Troop 3 in Camden where he was charged with Operating a Clandestine Lab and Possession of Schedule IV pills. He was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Court 7 and committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on a $11,000.00 secured bond.
U.S. federal government to buy $20 million in cheese
The U.S. federal government is taking on a new project that many people may find to be cheesy.
According to the USDA, the government is buying approximately 11 million pounds of cheese from private inventories to reduce a surplus that is at an all-time high.
The cheese, which will cost $20 million to purchase, will be distributed to food banks and pantries across the U.S. for families in need.
Clinton to be questioned under oath on origins of email server
Hillary Clinton will soon face questions under oath about the reasons she set up and maintained a private email server during her four years as secretary of state.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told the Washington Examiner that his group is preparing a set of written questions for Clinton as part of the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that has already extracted hundreds of documents from the State Department.
Fitton said the questionnaire, which Clinton will be forced to complete within 30 days of receipt, will drill down on the Democratic nominee's shifting stories about why she relied on an unauthorized email network.
Former DOJ Employee Sentenced to Seven Years in Federal Prison for Traveling to Engage In Sex with a Minor
Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Ellen L. Hollander sentenced James Cicala, age 55, of Columbia, Maryland today to seven years in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release, for interstate travel with intent to engage in a sexual act with a minor. Judge Hollander also ordered that upon his release from prison Cicala must register as a sex offender in the place where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA).
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Andre R. Watson of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Worcester County Sheriff Reggie T. Mason, Sr.; and Special Agent in Charge Michael Tompkins, Washington Field Office, U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.
According to his plea agreement, Cicala was a career employee at the U.S. Department of Justice, providing information technology support. Cicala owned a beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware. From March 2015 through at least July 21, 2015, Cicala placed multiple ads in the Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia editions of an online marketplace, seeking females to engage in "daddy-daughter" relationships. On July 21, 2015, an undercover detective with the Worcester County Sheriff's Office who was investigating child solicitation on the internet responded to Cicala's ad entitled "Daddy's Little Girl." The undercover detective identified himself as "Sydney," a 15 year old female, and Cicala identified himself as a male in his late 40's.
Cicala and the undercover detective posing as "Syndey" exchanged messages for several weeks, eventually agreeing to meet to engage in sexually explicit conduct. On August 1, 2015, Cicala traveled from his beach house in Delaware to Berlin, Maryland, to meet "Sydney," who did not show up, later claiming that she was unable to get away. The texting continued and Cicala again made arrangements to meet Sydney on August 15, 2015, in Berlin.
Virtually all of the conversations Cicala had with the undercover officer occurred using Cicala's DOJ-issued phone or work computer, sometimes during work hours. Cicala frequently attempted to engage "Sydney" in sexually explicit chat, instructing her to delete the message, and sent Sydney nude and partially nude photos of himself. However, throughout the text message exchanges "Sydney" refused to send sexually explicit photos or engage in sexually explicit chat.
Hillary Clinton's run-out-the-clock strategy
The Democrat aims to ignore the email and Foundation controversies, seeing a shrinking calendar as her friend.
She is not planning on sitting for another televised armchair confessional to rehash regrets about a private email server. Nor is the campaign setting up the kind of war room employed last year to discredit a book that aimed to expose a quid-pro-quo relationship between Clinton Foundation donors and State Department officials.
With 75 days until Election Day and new emails once again casting a pall over her campaign, Hillary Clinton aims to "run out the clock," confidants say, on the latest chapters of the overlapping controversies that have dogged her campaign since the start.
Emails show Clinton denied, then met with Ukrainian donor
Emails made public Tuesday show a Ukrainian businessman and major Clinton Foundation donor was invited to Hillary Clinton's home during the final year of her diplomatic tenure, despite her spokesman's insistence in 2014 that the donor never crossed paths with Clinton while she served as secretary of state.
Victor Pinchuk, who has given up to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation, appeared on the guest list that was sent between Dennis Cheng, an executive at the foundation, and Huma Abedin, then Clinton's deputy chief of staff at the State Department, ahead of a June 2012 dinner. Abedin noted in a subsequent email that the gathering would be hosted in Clinton's home.
Amid scrutiny of Clinton's ties to Pinchuk in 2014, the Democratic nominee's spokesman, Nick Merrill, said Pinchuk had never met with Clinton during that time. He told the New York Times that, "from Jan. 21, 2009, to Feb. 1, 2013," the Ukrainian businessman "was never on her schedule."
Merrill did not return a request for comment.
Los Angeles VA Hospital Lost 30 Cars, Then Fired Worker Who Reported It
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) bosses fired an employee for reporting a hospital lost 30 of its 88 vehicles and official credit cards intended for the fleet had been misused.
Robert Benkeser, manager at the Greater Los Angeles VA, fired whistle-blower Anthony Salazar after Salazar tried to bring the theft to light. The department convened an "administrative investigation board" (AIB) that resulted in "a letter of counseling" to Benkeser for mismanaging the motor pool. Benkeser then fired Salazar several months later.
he Office of Special Counsel (OSC), a government-wide agency that protects whistle-blowers, said earlier this month that VA blocked Salazar from showing that he was being retaliated against. The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) imposed "an overly rigorous" standard of proof to show prohibited retaliation.
Rep. Mike Coffman, chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, demanded Aug. 18 to know what happened to the missing vehicles, how the AIB worked, and the position top VA management took before the MSPB in the matter of Salazar's job.
Hillary Clinton staffer's magazine claims Jews 'adept at working political system'
An Islamic journal where Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's top aide, was assistant editor published an article accusing Jews of 'working the American political system' – and being aided by the 'memory of the Holocaust'.
Abedin, who is vice-chair of Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, spent 12 years as an assistant editor for Journal of Minority Muslim Affairs.
Her mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, is the journal's editor-in-chief and has been accused of espousing the views of the Muslim Brotherhood through the publication.
Huma Abedin's brother, Hassan, is an associate editor and her sister, Heba, is an assistant editor.
Look what just happened in WASHINGTON D.C. after minimum wage hike
Attempting to explain why hiking the minimum wage up to $15 an hour is a horrible idea to a liberal is about as frustrating as slamming your head against a brick wall — and just as pleasant.
Leftists refuse to acknowledge the universal facts of economics and continue believing in the fairy tale of total equality — monetarily speaking — that drives them to support measures such as the redistribution of wealth.
Well, perhaps they'll listen to the facts emerging from places where the minimum wage has been raised and is wreaking havoc on the employment rate…right in our nation's capital.
A new report indicates restaurants in D.C. are being hit super hard and are now losing eight jobs per DAY.
Truth Revolt is reporting, Thus far, Washington, D.C. has lost 1,400 jobs in just the last six months alone, many of them in the restaurant services industry. The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Obama admin: Deficits are now next president's problem
With federal budget deficits on the rise again, the White House Wednesday officially kicked the problem down the road to the next president.
Asked about Congressional Budget Office projections that the federal deficit will spike 33 percent this year, White House press secretary Josh Earnest cited reasons including an aging population and Republican-sponsored tax cuts.
Then he added, "There's certainly a lot money that can be saved, and this will be a challenge that the next president and the next Congress will have to do."
Utility worker's submerged photo goes viral
HOOD COUNTY -- If Andrea Adams thought a water line break near her front driveway was going to be the biggest thing to happen during the past week, she thought wrong.
"I've shut down my Facebook, turned off my email. I had a call from a lawyer in Atlanta that wanted to use the photo," she said.
The photo is an image Adams snapped a week ago, when a utility worker from the Acton Municipal Utility District went above and beyond trying to plug a one-inch pipe that had burst.
"When I walked back outside, the kid was in there," she exclaims, still in disbelief.
MSNBC Host: Hillary's Foundation Is 'No Longer A Beltway Problem'
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell said on Wednesday that Hillary Clinton's campaign should want to clean up the problems emanating from the Clinton Foundation scandal and the 15,000 more emails released.
Appearing on MSNBC's "MTP Daily," referring to the newly released 15,000 emails from Clinton, Mitchell said, "This is no longer a Beltway problem. This is becoming part of the narrative. We're seeing it in the polling where it's following her around."
Mitchell went on to argue that the Clinton campaign "should want to clean this up."
"Especially now if Trump is suddenly getting it together and is going to just laser focus only on this issue," host Chuck Todd added.

A girl was drugged with meth, sexually assaulted and killed. One of the suspects: Her mother.
When police were called early Wednesday to an apartment complex in Albuquerque, they thought they were responding to a domestic battery call.
Instead, they saw the body of a 10-year-old girl, brutally killed.
She had been drugged and sexually assaulted, police said. According to the Albuquerque Journal, she was killed hours before her 10th birthday party.
The suspects: her mother, 35-year-old Michelle Martens; Martens's boyfriend, 31-year-old Fabian Gonzales; and 31-year-old Jessica Kelley.
Ann Coulter says any Republican who works with Clinton is a 'traitor'
Donald Trump supporter and bestselling author Ann Coulter warned Wednesday that any Republican in Congress who works with President Hillary Clinton would be seen as a "traitor."
Her comments were made in an interview with the Washington Examiner, soon after Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said that if Clinton were to win, he could see himself cutting a deal with her. "I've sat across the table with Hillary Clinton eye-to-eye, and when you're working outside of staff and outside of the press, she is somebody I can work with," he said in August.
But Coulter said it can't work that way.
"Any Republican who says he can work with Hillary Clinton is a traitor to the nation," she said. "It's finished."
Federal lawsuit filed over fatal Thunder on the Narrows race that killed 7-year-old girl
The estate of a 7-year-old girl killed last year when a race boat veered off course and into a group of spectators on Kent Island has sued the event's organizers.
A total of 14 spectators have joined the lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court.
The suit stems from a June 28, 2015 powerboat race that killed the young girl and severely injured many others.
Trump Slams Clinton Foundation As "Most Corrupt Enterprise In Political History" After Latest Donor Revelations
Yesterday's report that more than half, or at least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or spoke to Hillary Clinton while she led the State Department, donated at least $156 million to her family charity or pledged commitments with at least 16 foreign governments donating as much as $170 million, has become the latest goldmine for Donald Trump and Republicans who finally have a break in the anti-Trump news cycle to pounce on.
"It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history," Trump said in a statement, reiterating a claim he made earlier in the week. "We've now learned that a majority of the non-government people she met with as secretary of state gave money to the corrupt Clinton Foundation. ... It was wrong then, and it is wrong now -- and the foundation must be shut down immediately."
Governor Larry Hogan Commits Half-a-Million Dollars to Protect Children Traveling on School Buses
Grants Will Provide Additional Law Enforcement, Public Education Programs
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan today announced that the state is providing more than $500,000 to local law enforcement agencies to help them enforce Maryland school bus safety laws. The grants will be used to pay for overtime for police officers who patrol streets when school buses are on the road, and for public education programs to inform the driving public about Maryland's law requiring drivers to stop when a school bus has stopped to pick up or drop off passengers.
"Maryland children are back to school, and many ride school buses every day to get to class," said Governor Larry Hogan."It's our job—as parents, grandparents, and government leaders—to be sure they are safe on their way to and from school."
Maryland law requires motorists to stop 20 feet behind or in front of a school bus that has its STOP arm down and lights flashing while loading or discharging students. Drivers who ignore the STOP arm and illegally drive past school buses could be fined and receive points on their driving records.
A one-day survey completed by the Maryland Department of Education last April found that school bus drivers recorded a total of 4,334 times that drivers illegally drove past school buses that had stopped on the road with the STOP arm down and lights flashing.
"You may be late for an appointment, you may be rushing to work, but there's no excuse to drive past a stopped school bus," said Glenn Fueston, executive director of the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention, which administered the funding through the School Bus Safety Enforcement Fund. "Drivers must remember that speeding past a stopped school bus risks the lives of innocent children and bystanders."
Fifty agencies from 22 jurisdictions are receiving a total of $541,400 in state funding for school bus safety initiatives. The grants are listed below:
County Amount
Allegany $19,000.00
Anne Arundel $27,400.00
Baltimore County $35,000.00
Calvert $20,000.00
Caroline $3,000.00
Carroll $32,288.00
Cecil $14,000.00
Charles $23,000.00
Dorchester $35,000.00
Frederick $27,000.00
Garrett $27,000.00
Harford $29,000.00
Kent $16,000.00
Prince George's $24,000.00
Queen Anne's $27,000.00
Somerset $33,700.00
St. Mary's $28,000.00
Talbot $10,000.00
Washington $28,000.00
Wicomico $32,500.00
Worcester $25,512.00
Following the 2016 legislative session, Governor Hogan signed SB 83, which renamed the School Bus Safety Enforcement Fund to the School Safety Enforcement Fund. The legislation will expand the purposes of the Fund, provide localities with additional flexibility to address school safety needs, and allow county boards of education, in addition to law enforcement entities, to apply for the grants. The changes will take effect October 1, 2016, and will be incorporated into the next notice of funding availability for the program.
Should Louisiana's Citizen Rescue Fleet, "Cajun Navy," Face Government Regulation?
Not long ago I reported on the brave Louisiana residents who used their own boats and supplies, set out to rescue their fellow flood victims, and all without government involvement. They outperformed the government so well, in fact, that many were saved, fed, and received medical attention long before any government entity arrived. It's a testament to just how well Americans can take care of themselves, and each other, in a crisis, and without the helping hand of big brother.
These citizens that set out to help their fellow victims were called the "Cajun Navy," and their story has spread far and wide. They've been celebrated all over the country, and it's well deserved.
But it would appear that government wishes to regulate the Cajun Navy so that in the future, everything is done under the approval of the Louisiana government. Or at least, that's the rumor floating around.
Louisiana's 'Cajun Navy' Is A 100% Volunteer Group That's Helping Flood Victims
GONZALES, La. ― When the floodwaters began their rapid rise in southern Louisiana, residents fleeing to safety left with little more than the clothes on their backs. Others ― along with their pets, children and infirm relatives ― were left stranded and waiting for rescue.
More than a week and a half since the historic flooding began in the state, FEMA's on-the-ground response effort has earned mixed reviews from locals: Some argue it's nowhere near as flat-footed as the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, while others judge the response as late.
"FEMA, they showed up today with boats to rescue people. Where the hell were they a week ago?" Jimmy Purvis, chairman of the Board of Directors of Parks and Recreation in Denham Springs, said on Friday.
But while FEMA was just gearing up, a group of people dubbed "The Cajun Navy" were already navigating the floodwaters to rescue stranded neighbors in the state.
Clinton's inescapable cloud of corruption
While many in the media have declared the presidential election all but over, damning accusations of pay to play at the Clinton Foundation and reports that the FBI found 15,000 work-related documents that Hillary Clinton failed to turn over represent the political land mines that still lie between her and the presidency. Multiple ongoing Freedom of Information Act civil suits, perjury allegations, an IRS probe and alleged joint U.S. Attorney-FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation represent the inescapable cloud of corruption that could be the Democratic nominee's undoing.
As the drip, drip, drip of information highlighting the intersection between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department surfaces, the political fallout for Hillary Clinton is unavoidable. The newly exposed emails demonstrate another lie told by the Clinton campaign. Despite her lawyers stating that only 30,000 emails on her server were related to work, the 15,000 puts that number closer to 45,000. But more importantly, it paints a clearer picture of what Hillary Clinton was attempting to hide by setting up private servers in the first place and attempting to wipe them clean.
The health problem Clinton actually has
The Internet is awash with rumors about Hillary Clinton's health, but there is one medical condition she is actually known to have.
That is hypothyroidism, a condition affecting about 10 million Americans in which the thyroid is underactive, resulting in a variety of symptoms including fatigue, weakness and weight gain.
For most patients, the symptoms can be significantly reduced or eliminated with the use of hormone therapy. Clinton is being treated with a medication called Armour Thyroid, according to her doctor, who has issued a letter saying she's in "excellent" physical condition and is fit to serve as president.
Yet Armour Thyroid is a less common medication used in patients with hypothyroidism, possibly indicating Clinton wasn't responding well to the conventional treatment.
Emails Show Huma Used To Put Hillary Down For Nap Time
An email in WikiLeaks' Hillary Clinton archive shows Huma Abedin served as the Director of Nap Time while working at the State Department.
Abedin sent the email in question to Clinton on January 11, 2013, ahead of a meeting with the French Foreign Minister.
The email did not contain a message in the body, yet the subject line reads "Reminder fabius at 3:30. Take a nap [sic]."
Trump: Hillary Wants 'Massive Amnesty' And 'Totally Open Border'
"She wants to gut immigration enforcement"
In a rally Tuesday night, GOP nominee Donald Trump slammed Hillary Clinton on immigration policy, telling supporters that Clinton is in support of a 'massive amnesty' and a 'totally open border'.
"Hillary Clinton wants a totally open border. She wants catch and release. She wants Obamacare and other things for illegal immigrants. In many cases, more than our great veterans get," Trump said during the appearance in Austin, Texas.
"She has said she's going to give massive amnesty in her first 100 days. She wants to gut immigration enforcement. The immigration people do such a great job, but they have no leadership at the top." Trump added.

On The Bizarre Media Blackout Of Hacked George Soros Documents
Scandal: Leaked documents released a few days ago provide juicy insider details of how a fabulously rich businessman has been using his money to influence elections in Europe, underwrite an extremist group, target U.S. citizens who disagreed with him, dictate foreign policy, and try to sway a Supreme Court ruling, among other things. Pretty compelling stuff, right?
Not if it involves leftist billionaire George Soros. In this case, the mainstream press couldn't care less.
On Saturday, a group called DC Leaks posted more than 2,500 documents going back to 2008 that it pilfered from Soros' Open Society Foundations' servers. Since then, the mainstream media have shown zero interest in this gold mine of information.
We couldn't find a single story on the New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, CBS News or other major news sites that even noted the existence of these leaked documents, let alone reported on what's in them.
Indeed, the only news organization that appears to be diligently sifting through all the documents is the conservative Daily Caller, which as a result has filed a series of eye-opening reports.
So what could possibly explain the mainstream media's disinterest?
Is the problem that the material is too boring or inconsequential? Hardly.
The essential question of 2016: What else is Hillary hiding?
For Hillary Clinton, the hits just keep on coming. Each day brings more evidence that she used her position as Secretary of State to recruit donors for the Clinton Foundation and rewarded them with government favors. The most recent batch of e-mails released under court order show that, in some cases, a hefty foundation "gift" was required just to get an audience with Madame Secretary.
Then there's the Associated Press report that half of her meetings involved foundation donors, and the separate 15,000 additional e-mails from her tenure that were discovered by the FBI. The developments mean there will be a drip, drip, drip of damning evidence all the way to November.
Yet the more we know about Hillary's dirty deeds, the less sense it all makes. Even as the slimy details pile up, the central mystery remains unresolved: Why?
Hillary's Corruption Is Overwhelming
After over two decades in the heart of America's spotlight, Hillary Clinton is still an unknown quantity for most Americans. That's thanks to one factor and one factor only: the love and worship of the mainstream media.
Over the weekend, no less than six terrible stories broke that would have crippled anyone else's campaign. First, we learned that Clinton aide and confidante Huma Abedin acted as assistant editor on the radical Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, where she greenlit pieces that stated that "pushing (mothers) out into the open labor market is a clear demonstration of a lack of respect of womanhood and motherhood," among other things.
Next, we found out that Clinton had blamed former Secretary of State Colin Powell for giving her the idea to set up a private email server at a dinner party, and that Powell not only denied giving her the idea but also denied ever having a dinner conversation with her on the topic. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who Clinton claimed was present for the conversation, has also denied the story.
Then we discovered that the Clinton State Department oversaw some $6 billion in mismanagement, fraud and incompetence.
Poll: Donald Trump Takes Lead in Florida
Donald Trump is holding a narrow lead over Hillary Clinton in Florida, according to the latest Florida Atlantic University poll.
According to the survey results, Trump earns 43 percent to Clinton's 41 percent. The two point lead falls within the 2.7 percent margin of error.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson received eight percent in the poll.
Milwaukee sheriff: Democrats want blacks 'on the plantation'
Democrats are "screwing around" in an effort to keep black voters "on the plantation," Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said in a Thursday interview, after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made a direct appeal to them in a speech in the Wisconsin city earlier this month.
Clarke, a black conservative Democrat, made the comments on the same day Hillary Clinton delivered a speech accusing Trump of racism and on which the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign released a video attempting to associate Donald Trump with members of the Ku Klux Klan.
FBI Admits Clinton Used Software Designed To "Prevent Recovery" And "Hide Traces Of" Deleted Emails
South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News today and disclosed new details about the Clinton email scandal that seem to indicate intent to destroy evidence. Per the clip below, Gowdy reveals that Clinton used "BleachBit" to erase the "personal" emails from her private server.
For those not familiar with the software, BleachBit is intended to help users delete files in a way to "prevent recovery" and "hide traces of files deleted." Per the BleachBit website:
Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery,wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster.
During his appearance on Fox, Gowdy clearly indicates that Clinton's use of BleachBit undermines her claims that she only deleted innocuous "personal" emails from her private server.
"If she considered them to be personal, then she and her lawyers had those emails deleted. They didn't just push the delete button, they had them deleted where even God can't read them.
"They were using something called BleachBit. You don't use BleachBit for yoga emails."
"When you're using BleachBit, it is something you really do not want the world to see."
Is this $400,000 tiny house in Oakland the perfect starter home?
This Oakland property with a cozy two-bedroom house and detached studio separated by a sea of concrete might not be your dream home.
But if you're looking to squeeze into the hot Bay Area market and have a downpayment saved up, it could provide a doable scenario.
The property was listed earlier this month at $400,000, meaning you need at least $80,000 to put 20 percent down (as long as there isn't a bidding war) and call it your own.
Man Sentenced To Nearly 6 Years In Prison For Arson In 2015 Rioting
A Baltimore man was sentenced Wednesday to nearly six years in federal prison for the arson of a Baltimore food market during last spring's rioting that followed the funeral of Freddie Gray.
U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Trevon Green, 23, to serve the term and three years of probation, prosecutors say, pursuant to a plea deal reached in July. Green also admitted to looting a liquor store and assaulting its owner.
"Trevon Green was not a protester, he was a criminal who enjoyed committing gratuitous violence," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "He looted a liquor store and kicked the defenseless store owner in the head, then he set fire to a food market. We caught him because police and prosecutors spent time reviewing recordings from cameras throughout the city."
After assailing Trump as a racist, Clinton ignores reporters
Dr. Drew Pinsky's Show Cancelled After He Questions Hillary Clinton's Health
Dr. Drew Pinsky's series on the HLN channel is ending its run after five years.
HLN said Thursday that "Dr. Drew on Call" will air its final episode on Sept. 22.
Pinsky's previous TV series includes "Loveline" and "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."
In a statement, Pinsky said he was excited to stay "within the CNN Worldwide family" as a contributor.
Report: Kayla Mueller Defended Christian Faith Before ISIS Captors
Kayla Mueller, the American aid worker enslaved by the Islamic State for 18 months before she was killed during Jordanian airstrikes in early 2015, bravely defended her Christian faith in the face of her Islamic extremist captors, ABC News reports.
The 25-year-old Mueller was kept as a slave and was repeatedly raped by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, according to her fellow captives who were interviewed by ABC for a program to be aired Friday on "20/20."
Danish freelance photographer Daniel Rye told ABC about how the captors, which included Brit Mohammed Emwazi, who was later named "Jihadi John" by the media, were nicknamed 'the Beatles' by the captives.
"One of the Beatles started to say, 'Oh this is Kayla and she has been held all by herself. And she is much stronger than you guys. And she's much smarter. She converted to Islam.' And then she was like, 'No, I didn't,'" Rye said.
He said he was surprised by Mueller's bravery.
"I would not have had the guts to say that. I don't think so," Rye said.
Hillary Clinton 'refuses' to fill out police union endorsement questionnaire
Hillary Clinton may have indicted her real feelings about law enforcement officers by refusing to fill out a police union endorsement questionnaire.
One America News reports the Fraternal Order of Police sent a list of questions to both Clinton and Republican rival Donald Trump.
Trump's answers covered 12 pages.
Clinton, meanwhile, "refused" to answer anything at all.
Trump: 'No Path To Legalization,' 'Unless They Leave the Country and Come Back,' We'll 'See What Happens' Once Border's Secured
During an interview broadcast on Thursday's "AC 360" on CNN that "there is no path to legalization" for people who are in the US illegally and haven't committed any crimes, "unless they leave the country and come back." And "We're going to see what happens once we strengthen our border."
Trump began by saying wasn't "going to go into all" of his immigration policy "because we're doing a speech on in a week immigration, which I think will explain it in even greater detail."
"Things Are Worse" - Dollar Stores' Startling Admission: Half Of US Consumers Are In Dire Straits
If there was any confusion about how the lower half of the US consumer class is doing these days, it was quickly lifted following today's distressing earnings calls of dollar store titans, Dollar General and Dollar Tree.
Discount retailer Dollar General said it was cutting prices on its most popular items such as bread, eggs and milk, intensifying a price war among already commoditized products with retail giant Wal-Mart Stores to win back falling market share. It shares fell the most on record, plunging by 18% after the company missed on revenue, blaming aggressive competition, lower food prices and reduction in SNAP, or food stamp, coverage in 20 key states.
Assange: WikiLeaks Has Information About Both Presidential Candidates
WikiLeaks has "thousands of pages" to release in connection with the upcoming presidential election, and while a great deal of it is about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, there is also some "information about the Republican campaign," website founder Julian Assange said Friday morning.
"The publicity as a result of our DNC publications, which caused the top five Democratic officials in the Democratic Party to resign, including the president Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has led to other sources being encouraged," Assange, speaking from the Ecuadorian embassy in London told Fox News' "Fox & Friends."
While there is also information about Trump, though, Assange said there would be few surprises because of the way Trump conducts his campaign.
"The problem with the Trump campaign it's hard for us to publish much [more] controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth every second day," said Assange.
Zip line company says woman unhooked safety gear
DOVER — A Felton woman who fell 35 feet to her death from a zip line platform had disconnected herself from the safety system, the attraction's operator said Thursday.
Delaware State Police investigators are investigating how Tina Werner tumbled off the platform at the Go Ape Tree Top Adventure attraction in Lums Pond State Park on Wednesday.
Participants at Go Ape courses are equipped with climbing harnesses and two sets of ropes with carabiners that they unclip and clip to safety wires in sequence as they move through the trees.
Werner, 59, of Felton, had completed the required safety training, and was nearing the end of the course when she fell, said Jeff Davis, a spokesman for Go Ape. The attraction in Bear spans seven acres and includes four zip lines and a variety of swings, rope ladders, bridges and trapezes.
"Participant witnesses have stated that at the time of the accident the participant had unfortunately disconnected herself from the safety system," Davis said in an email.
12 Year Old Lauren Marie Presley - Singing "A Little Bit Stronger"
Here's How Hillary Clinton Deleted Emails
Hillary Clinton's team of aides and lawyers deleted emails from her private server using a software program intended to "prevent recovery" and hide traces of deleted files.
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy revealed the information during an interview on Thursday on Fox News. Citing notes that FBI investigators took during their probe of Clinton's private email server, Gowdy said that Clinton's team used open source software called BleachBit to remove tens of thousands of emails from her server.
Gowdy said that the use of the program undermines Clinton's claims that the emails she withheld from the State Department were innocuous. The former secretary of state has frequently said that the 30,000-plus emails she decided not to give the State Department in Dec. 2014 were about yoga routines and her daughter's wedding plans.
Heather Samuelson, a longtime Clinton aide and former State Department official, oversaw the review of Clinton's emails before they were given to the State Department. Clinton lawyer David Kendall and her former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, oversaw the process.

Mission Accomplished?
Harry Reid calls mother of Benghazi victim 'crazy,' then retracts it
Sen. Harry Reid, who led Democrats to a Senate majority and then back into the minority, triggered the nuclear option to change Senate rules and used a special budget tactic to get Obamacare passed, told a Nevada newspaper not to blame him for partisanship in Washington.
In an extensive interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal he also called Patricia Smith, the mother of a State Department employee slain in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, "crazy" for her speech at the GOP convention questioning Hillary Clinton's behavior. Mr. Reid then tried to tack back that characterization and instead accusedMrs. Smith of lack of accuracy."
And Mr. Reid defended his demonstrably false attack on 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who he said didn't pay income taxes, as true according to his own version of things.
"I tell the truth," he told the Reno newspaper, before correcting himself: "It may not be the truth, it's how I feel."
"I knew that he had a problem with his tax returns, okay? I went to the White House, he was running for re-election, do something about the DNC. I didn't want to do that. No one else would do it, so I did it. I'm glad I did it."
Peter Schweizer: More Emails to Come Showing Hillary Clinton's 'State Dept. Doing Favors for Foreign Oligarchs'
Peter Schweizer, author ofClinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, joined SiriusXM host Matt Boyle on Wednesday's Breitbart News Daily to discuss the revelation that more than half the people Hillary Clinton met with as secretary of state were donors to her Clinton Foundation.
"I think we've known the road map for a long time, Matt. It's 'follow the money' with the Clintons," said Schweizer. "I think that this has kind of brought into relief exactly what the street names are on that map, and where they lead."
Schweizer said:
What you find is that Hillary Clinton, who is America's chief diplomat, whose focus is supposed to be enhancing our national security and our foreign policy, is actually engaged in the sort of grimiest elements of politics, which is doing favors and taking phone calls from people who put money in your pocket. That's where we spent four years, while she was secretary of state.
Many More Huma Abedin Email Bombshells Likely To Come
Approximately three-and-a-half years worth of Huma Abedin's emails during her tenure at the State Department have yet to be released by the agency, suggesting that many more examples of the Clinton aide's interaction with Clinton Foundation donors have yet to surface.
Abedin used several different email accounts while she worked as Clinton's deputy chief of staff at the State Department. Her tenure stretched from Jan. 2009 through Feb. 2013, when Clinton left office.
But of the emails Abedin exchanged on her personal email accounts with non-State Department employees, the State Department has only released records up through July 26, 2009.
Cummings Expresses Concern, Requests Briefing On Police Flights
Rep. Elijah Cummings, whose district includes most of Baltimore, said that the secrecy of the surveillance flights commissioned by Baltimore police since January wasn't just troubling, but potentially counter-productive.
"If the police department is claiming--and they may be right--that this would prevent crime and help to solve crime, why did it have to be a secret?" Cummings said. "As a matter of fact, it would probably be better if they were to have a program that people know that they are being viewed."
He said he needed to study the issue more, and has requested a briefing from police Commissioner Kevin Davis. He suggested the legal issues surrounding the flights may one day end up on Capitol Hill in front of the House Committee on Government Reform, on which he is the top Democrat. He said the revelations were particularly troubling just weeks after the release of the U.S. Department of Justice report on Baltimore policing. The report accused officers of systemic constitutional violations.
Biden Apologizes To Turkey For US Constitution
Vice-President Joe Biden adopted a conciliatory tone in Turkey's capital city on Wednesday in apologizing for President Barack Obama's inability to solely execute an extradition order as per the Turkish government's demands. Speaking in Ankara, Turkey, Biden declared that the Obama Administration would do everything possible to cooperate with the Turkish government's demands for the extradition of a man it accuses of masterminding last month's coup attempt.
Judges rule Maryland redistricting lawsuit can move forward
A lawsuit targeting Maryland's use of gerrymandering can go forward, a three-judge federal panel ruled Wednesday.
Maryland lawmakers drew the map after the 2010 Census, ensuring that seven of the state's eight congressional seats would be under Democratic control, according to The Washington Post.
Steve Shapiro, the American University law student who filed the lawsuit, argues the map violates the rights of 6th District Republican voters to political expression and association. The suit asks the map not be used in future elections, but the lawsuit won't affect this November's elections.
Illinois gets ready for huge Obamacare rate hikes
Half the insurers selling plans in Illinois' Obamacare marketplaces are hiking prices by 50 percent on average, according to final rates the state published Wednesday.
Insurers didn't appear to back away from steep rate hikes they proposed earlier this month, raising questions about how that increase will affect shoppers trying to find affordable coverage through Get Covered Illinois, the state's marketplace set up under President Obama's healthcare law.
Harken Health Insurance Company, Celtic Insurance Company and Health Care Service Corporation, the state's Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, are raising prices by about 50 percent. At least one Blue Cross plan is getting marked up 77 percent.
Giuliani: The Clinton Foundation Scandal Is 'Going To Be Bigger Than Watergate'
Rudy Giuliani said on Wednesday that the scandal involving the Clinton Foundation and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is "going to be bigger than Watergate."
Speaking at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in Tampa, Florida, Giuliani said, "I am more than willing to predict, when the history of our day is written, the scandal you are watching unfold is going to be like the Teapot Dome scandal in the 1920's and maybe bigger. It's going to be bigger than Watergate."
"Nixon had to leave office and he did a lot of bad things, but it wasn't raking in millions and millions of dollars through a phony charity," Giuliani said. "I'm not sure how much money was involved in the Teapot dome, but I bet it could not have been much more than the hundreds of millions of dollars the Clintons have been getting and turning the State Department into a pay-for-play operation."
"Back in the 20's and in the Nixon era, well you couldn't destroy emails because there were no emails and I guess next and just wasn't as shrewd as Hillary," Giuliani said. "He never destroyed those tapes. Nixon didn't destroy the tapes. He kept them. You know what the Clintons must be saying? 'What a jerk that next that Nixon was.' You really want to be a criminal, you destroy the evidence."
Marvin Kaplan, Character Actor Known for 'Alice' and 'Top Cat,' Dies at 89
Marvin Kaplan, a character actor known for the sitcom "Alice" and his voice-over work as Choo-Choo on the animated series "Top Cat," has died. He was 89.
He died of natural causes on Wednesday in his home in Burbank, Calif., according to a statement released by Theatre West.
"It is with a sad and heavy heart to inform you our very own Marvin Kaplan passed away today at 5 a.m. in his sleep," the statement reads. "We loved Marvin. He will truly be missed."
VISIT MARYLAND'S NATIONAL PARKS FOR FREE
Summer vacation might be ending, but there is still time to squeeze in one last trip with the entire family. This weekend, wrap up the season by visiting one of Maryland's 18 national parks for free.
In honor of the National Park Service 100 year anniversary, parks across the country are offering free admission from August 25-28. From the historic Antietam National Battlefield in Western Maryland, to Baltimore's star-spangled Fort McHenry, to Assateague Island and its famous wild ponies on our Eastern Shore – Maryland's parks and programs have something to offer everyone.
"National parks in Maryland drew more than 6.4 million people last year alone," said Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. "These attractions provide recreational activities, history lessons, and unique experiences for residents and visitors alike – and, as an added benefit, have a significant impact on Maryland's economy."
The National Park Service was created in 1916 to conserve the scenery, historic objects, and wildlife across the country. President Woodrow Wilson signed the act in order to protect the nation's natural landmarks and provide enjoyment for future generations. Today there are 59 national parks covering more than 84 million acres in the U.S.
See the full list of National Parks in Maryland on the NPS' website. Commemorate the occasion by joining NPS on social media with the hashtags #FindYourPark and #NPS100.
Mega-military base breaks silence on 'martial-law memo'
Document with official letterhead announces preparation, training for takeover
U.S. military drills on American streets and roads, on public lands and in cities and towns long have prompted fears that the federal government is preparing to impose martial law.
Military vehicles are suspect whenever they're in public, with or without cause, and suspicions have been fueled by recent massive federal power grabs such as Obamacare.
But this week a military base in Colorado is throwing cold water all over the coals of a rumor that appeared on the Internet.
The spark came from an image that purports to be from Fort Carson.
The stationery is labeled "Department of the Army, Headquarters, 4th Infantry," and it is described as a "Memorandum for the Record."
The subject?
"Preparation for Martial Law."
News Alert: After backlash, EpiPen to lower cost to some patients
