FBI Director may provide preview of Mueller testimony

FBI Director Christopher Wray's appearance before a Senate committee could be something of a preview of the intense questioning special counsel Robert Mueller is likely to face in Congress the next day.
Wray is set to testify Tuesday morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by one of President Donald Trump's closest allies, Sen. Lindsey Graham. The South Carolina Republican has vowed to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation.
Republicans are likely to spend time questioning both Wray and Mueller about Peter Strzok, an FBI agent who helped lead the Trump investigation and exchanged anti-Trump text messages during the 2016 election with an FBI lawyer, Lisa Page.
Once Mueller learned of the existence of the texts, which were sent before his appointment as special counsel, he removed Strzok from his team investigating potential ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. Strzok was ultimately fired and Page left the bureau.
Wray made headlines during a Senate hearing in May when he broke from Attorney General William Barr and said he didn't consider court-approved FBI surveillance to be "spying" and that there was no evidence the FBI illegally monitored Trump's campaign during the 2016 election. Barr has said he believes "spying did occur" on the campaign and suggested the origins of the probe may have been mishandled.
Barr didn't specify what he meant when he said he believed there had been spying on the Trump campaign, but he was likely alluding to the FBI obtaining a secret surveillance warrant in the fall of 2016 to monitor the communications of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, whose interactions with Russians several years earlier had raised law enforcement suspicions even before he joined the campaign
Barr has not said such surveillance was necessarily improper, but Trump nonetheless seized on those comments to suggest his campaign was spied on in an illegal and unprecedented act. The attorney general appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham, the chief federal prosecutor in Connecticut, to investigate the surveillance methods used during the investigation and to probe the origins of the Russia investigation. Part of Durham's mandate is to investigate whether there was a proper basis for the FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Wray has previously declined to discuss in detail the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign because of Durham's investigation and a separate, ongoing Justice Department inspector general probe into the origins of the Russia inquiry.
As FBI director, he has sought to avoid public spats with Trump, but his appearance on Capitol Hill comes amid signs of possible tension between the two men.
President Donald Trump told ABC News last month that Wray was "wrong" to suggest that Donald Trump Jr. should have called the FBI as the organizer of a 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer offering negative information on his political opponent, Hillary Clinton. Wray made the comment during the May congressional hearing and said the FBI would want to know about any outreach from a foreign government to an American political campaign.
Trump told ABC that if a foreign power were offering dirt on his 2020 opponent, he'd be open to accepting it and would have no obligation to call the FBI.

Detective Pikachu can't quite catch 'em all, The Hustle runs a short con, Poms fails to conjure up enough pep, nobody has Tolkien's axe, and Other Box Office News.
OK, fine. I am a big enough man to admit when I am wrong, which is most times over most things, so I will cop to having maybe overstated the potential impact of one Pokémon: Detective Pikachu on the pop culture and Box Office landscapes. All those weeks talking it up as a possible Endgame killer, how we were going to have to invent new forms of currency measurement in order to count the amount of money it would bring in, how it was going to force the rest of the Summer's releases to bend the knee… then it goes and opens in second place with $58 million behind the third weekend of Endgame. Still, that's not a dreadful opening. In fact, it's pretty darn solid all things considered, easily the biggest opening weekend for a videogame adaptation ever (besting the $47.7 million brought in by Lara Croft: Tomb Raider back in the ancient days of 2001), and overseas it's making a killing with $103 million in international gross from this past weekend and $41 million from China alone. But it's not an out-the-box giant murderer, so I still look the fool. In fairness, literally everyone I know is varying degrees of into Pokémon which makes me feel like the social freak for not caring; I had every right to believe this would be insanely massive!
Or perhaps Detective Pikachu was less the victim of unrealistic expectations and more of an absolutely swamped weekend for new release movies. No less than four of the buggers decided to get out ahead of John Wick 3 next weekend and the Aladdin remake a fortnight later with only Pikachu managing to hold its own in the melee. In fact, not one but two separate terrible female-centric comedies attempted to take advantage of Mother's Day weekend to goose ticket sales and limited shelf lives; Chris Addison's gender-flipped Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake The Hustle going up against STX's unofficial American remake of Finding Your Feet but with old people dancing switched out for old people cheerleading, Poms. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the one of those two you'd actually heard of coming into this article won, definitively, as The Hustle grifted its way into third with $13.5 million whilst Poms tore its hymen doing the splits and crashed into sixth with $5.1 million. But, hey, Poms can at least take solace in not being Tolkien, a movie I honestly don't know who exactly was asking for (same deal with Goodbye Christopher Robin from 2017). And there, at least, my read of the situation was dead-on as Disney-Fox bumped it up from Limited to Wide Release at the last minute to complete indifference: ninth place with $2.1 million and that includes grosses taken from special event-screening previews earlier in the week.
In Limited Release, the big story of the weekend was our first majorly successful documentary of the year, John Chester's The Biggest Little Farm which chronicles him and his wife's efforts to turn 200 acres of Los Angeles fields into a sustainable and diverse farm. A premise so wholesome and hopeful I'd honestly feel like quite the prick for making a joke about it, audiences helped cultivate an extremely healthy $101,012 from 5 theatres (for a per-theatre average of $20,202). Next best from those was the re-release of Kenneth Branagh's miserably dull Shakespeare biopic All is True which technically released back in December for a failed awards qualifying run but I guess we're supposed to forget about all that. Anyways, $46,809 from 4 theatres for a PTA of $11,702. The Year of Manson Films continued on in with Charlie Says, this one starring Matt Smith as the infamous cult leader and likely not containing a single second of Prodigy music, which was easily the worst Limited performer of the weekend with $39,114 from 39 theatres (a PTA of just $1,003). Finally, Zhang Yimou's Shadow, which had a pretty decent start last weekend, expanded to 47 theatres and immediately saw its fortunes sliced and diced with a weekend taking of $135,400 (a PTA of $2,881).
Full List, I choose you!
US Box Office Results: Friday 10th May 2019 – Sunday 12th May 2019
1] Avengers: Endgame
$63,054,000 / $723,499,739
Just $300 million away from Avatar's all-time #1, at time of writing! Surely that's doable! Surely the first actually great film to ever cross the $2 billion mark can dethrone Avatar and give us something new to look at in that spot! Christ, if Detective Pikachu couldn't put a significant dent in this thing, then surely it can bank another $300 mil worldwide before Aladdin slops out! I am fairly certain kids aren't being taken to John Wick next week. Fairly certain. 40% certain.
2] Pokémon: Detective Pikachu
$58,000,000 / NEW
Tawny Farber has deemed this "surprisingly good" which excites me because "surprisingly good" is exactly what my reaction to all of the marketing was and I like it when marketing doesn't lie to me. You can go read her review in the meantime and I'll have thoughts next week when I've seen it! Would've gone on Friday but I was preoccupied with something you'll be able to read here later this week. That's how SEO teasing works, right?
3] The Hustle
…shit, how long has it actually been since I went and saw a cinema film? I think it was Endgame? That's not good. Need to fix this dereliction of duty over the week. How am I supposed to make pithy witless comments dismissing subpar movies if I haven't subjected myself to them?
4] The Intruder
$6,600,000 / $20,975,126
Callumstradamus strikes again as, contrary to my observation last week that films like The Intruder are front-loaded and rarely stick around for long, this has dropped a mere 40% between weekends. I guess "filmed pantos with higher risk of murder" is a market with greater untapped potential than expected.
5] Long Shot
This also had an extremely strong sophomore hold, dropping a chart-best 37% from its start, but its start was also absolute pants so sadly doesn't mean much. In other news, Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder's rom-com Destination Wedding finally got a UK release this past weekend, although Tawny didn't find that fact much to celebrate unfortunately.
6] Poms
$5,110,000 / NEW
Who cares about this? Lisa Hanawalt's Netflix series Tuca & Bertie is spectacular and you should go watch that instead! Well, you should read my spoiler-free review of it first and then go watch it! Or vice versa! You're an autonomous human being, I assume!
7] Uglydolls
Public Service Announcement: Lizzo's outstanding Cuz I Love You is available on CD from Friday, but it has also been streaming for something like the last month and you should listen to it right now multiple times. It kills! Related Public Service Announcement: this movie boasts Lizzo, Charli XCX, and Janelle Monáe on its voice cast and yet, according to the soundtrack, all three barely sing in the movie itself. This is a TRAVESTY! An OUTRAGE! A CRIME, I TELLS YOU! RECOMPENCE MUST BE SERVICED!
8] Breakthrough
I feel like a more talented/hackier writer than myself would have been able to figure out a good The Doors pun for this movie by now.
9] Tolkien
Quoth my Month in Movies for May, this is "certainly a film which exists."
10] Captain Marvel
$1,813,000 / $423,777,029
You look like you're having a bad day. Here's a clip of Brie Larson covering Kacey Musgraves to cheer you up in the way that only legends respecting legends can.
Dropped out: The Curse of La Llorona, Shazam!, Little, Dumbo

Sociology is the scientific discipline that studies society. It examines human interactions, cultural phenomena, and topics that include inequality, urbanization, and their effects on groups and individuals. In unit 1, we study the philosophy of science sociologists rely on called positivism which asserts we can only gain authentic knowledge or truth through empirical observations. We need to be able to experience our observations or make scientific measurements with a form of sensory experience instead of using faith-based and emotional experiences.
The sociological imagination is a central concept to sociology, which allows sociologists to make connections among personal experiences and larger social issues. For example, did you know the United States has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the industrialized world? To understand this trend, sociologists use scientific methods to study and make connections about various social issues, such as sex education in schools, sexualization in the media, poverty, and the personal issue of teenage sexual activity and pregnancy.
In this course, we introduce a range of basic sociological principles so you can develop your own sociological imagination. We study about the origins of sociology as a discipline, and some major sociological theories and research methods. We also explore the topics of sex and gender, deviance, and racism. As we move through the course, try to develop your sociological imagination by relating the topics and theories you read about to your own life experiences.
Course Textbook File
In this unit, we explore the discipline of sociology. We learn how sociology developed, as a field of research, and study various central theoretical perspectives. We examine sociological research and explore different ethical concerns social scientists and researchers face in their work. Why should we study sociology and how can we apply it to the real world. For example, did you know sociologists helped the U.S. Supreme Court end "separate but equal" racial segregation in the United States? Martin Luther King, Jr., Michelle Obama, Ronald Reagan, Robin Williams were all sociology majors. Sociologists have helped change and mold of our social world. Sociology teaches how individuals fit into the bigger picture of society. We can look at ourselves with a sociological perspective to see how we classify ourselves and how others classify us. Sociology is an invaluable tool for living and working in our increasingly diverse and globalized world.
In Unit 2 we explore the sociological concerns of culture, social interaction, groups and organizations, deviance and social control, and media and technology. As we explore these sociological areas, we study some common unwritten rules for behavior in our social world. We investigate why social rules are so important to our everyday interactions. For example, what happens when you commit a minor social offense, such as cutting into a line of people, interrupting others, or showing up to meetings consistently late? Our unwritten rules (normative behaviors) do allow these kinds of deviance. without provoking a reaction.
Finally, we explore how technology affects our social interactions and deviant behavior. For example, Facebook, a virtual interactive world, has impacted our social thinking. The word "friend" is now a verb, we "like" something, and we can bridge our lives and experiences with hundreds of other users from around the world in seconds.
In this unit, we address the growing concerns of global and national inequality. We explore questions, such as how some countries are more wealthy than others. How can we address the needs of the world's population when we live in a world with more than seven billion people? We explore institutionalized inequalities, such as racism, sexism, and ageism, and how our prejudices can negatively guide our interactions. How can we overcome preconceived notions that lead to prejudice? We also discuss the difference between sex and gender, gender identity, and sexuality. We explore several theoretical perspectives on sex and gender and how to alleviate bias.
In Unit 4 we study our primary sociological institutions: family, religion, education, and government.
Sociologists have seen dramatic changes in the structure of the American family. The number of unmarried couples grew from fewer than one million in the 1970s, to 6.4 million in 2008. Cohabiting couples account for 10 percent of all opposite-sex couples.
We'll also take a look at religious institutions, a second significant social and cultural indicator, from a sociological rather than religious perspective. Émile Durkheim, the French sociologist, found that people use religion in several different ways: for healing and faith, as a communal bond, and to understand "the meaning of life." All of these social functions affect a community's structure, balance, and social fabric.
Education is our third example of an institution that can be a social solution and a challenge. For example, schools can serve as change agents (as tools to break poverty and racism) or create barriers (such as when they foster large drop-out rates and institutional disorganization). Schools can sow political discord when community members protest a chosen curriculum, such as sex education and scientific evolution. Sociologists consider all of these trends when studying schools and education.
We conclude by exploring government institutions, in terms of their political and economic structure from a sociological perspective. How do you define power? Do you inherit your social status at birth or earn it in the workplace? We explore how various economic systems affect how societies function.
In Unit 5, we explore great social issues, such as those surrounding healthcare, urbanization, and social movements.
The sociology of healthcare encompasses social epidemiology, disease, mental health, disability, and medicalization. How we perceive and treat medicine and health care is constantly evolving. What does health mean to you? How do you feel about legalized drugs? Why are so many Americans addicted to prescription pain medicines? We discuss population, urbanization, and the environment. Why have people tended to migrate from rural areas to urban areas? How have these population shifts affected our environment?
Finally, successful, large-scale social movements can have great social impact, become institutionalized, and evolve into a fixed and formal part of the social structure. For example, the "second wave of feminism", originated as a grassroots movement in the 1960s to protest inequalities between the sexes. Most of the original participants did not belong to formal organizations but publicized their cause through conscious-raising groups. For example, in 1966, 28 women created the National Organization for Women, which is now a prominent political and social voice for women's rights with a membership of more than 500,000. How does collective behavior affect social change? How does social change differ at the state, national, and global levels? How do different theoretical perspectives interpret social movements?

Arby's 'we have Pepsi' ad shows resolution to contract violation
On behalf of Allan P. Whitehead of Frese, Whitehead & Anderson, P.A. posted in Contract Disputes on Saturday, January 10, 2015.
Although most of the business world is all about competition, in some instances it actually makes more sense for some businesses to create partnerships instead. This strategic move is considered mutually beneficial because the companies are benefiting from the hard work that their partner is putting in.
As you may realize, these partnerships are established and maintained by a carefully drafted contract that both companies have agreed to. But not all contracts are the same though. Each one is tailored to the needs and wants of the companies, meaning some contracts can be incredibly complex with specific terms that must be adhered to. Any violation of these terms can jeopardize the partnership or even lead to litigation.
We can see this issue illustrated perfectly by a recent breach of contract between Arby's and Pepsi. According to reports, as part of the contract agreement between the two companies, Arby's is required to feature Pepsi products in two of its television ads each year. But with the company so focused on its new tagline of "we have the meats," this part of the contract was accidentally overlooked for most of 2014. This meant that if Arby's didn't comply with the terms of the contract, litigation could have been in their future.
To avoid this contention though, Arby's not only came up with a way to meet its contractual obligation but apologize to Pepsi for its negligence in the form of an advertisement that showed nothing but a full glass of Pepsi cola. Some of our Melbourne readers may have already seen the ad on YouTube.
The ad paid off, helping both companies to avoid potential litigation. For our Florida readers, this case stands as an example of an amicable way to avoid litigious disputes that can arise out of a breach of contract.

La stazione di Monte Compatri-Pantano è il capolinea sud della linea C della metropolitana di Roma.

È situata in corrispondenza del chilometro 20 della via Casilina, a circa 100 metri dall'incrocio con Via del Casale di Santa Maria.

A differenza di tutte le altre stazioni della linea C, essa si trova nel territorio del comune di Monte Compatri anziché in quello del comune di Roma. Dal 1996 fino al 2008, anno della sua temporanea chiusura per i lavori di trasformazione, è stata il capolinea della ferrovia Roma-Pantano (ora Roma-Centocelle), sotto il nome di Pantano. È, inoltre, l'unica stazione sopraelevata della linea C.

Storia
La stazione, che ha sostituito l'originario impianto posto sul vecchio tracciato a binario unico della ferrovia Roma-Fiuggi-Alatri-Frosinone, è stata chiusa dal 7 luglio 2008 al 9 novembre 2014 per consentire i lavori di trasformazione necessari all'inclusione del tratto terminale della Roma-Pantano nella linea C della metropolitana.

Servizi
La stazione è dotata di un parcheggio di scambio; dispone inoltre di:
  Biglietteria automatica
  Servizi igienici

Interscambi

ABC NEWS' DIANE SAWYER WILL HAVE THE FIRST TELEVISION INTERVIEW WITH CAMERON DOUGLAS ON HIS MEMOIR, 'LONG WAY HOME'
The Prime-Time, One-Hour Special 'The Douglas Dynasty: Fame, Addiction and Finding Home' Will Air Tuesday, Oct. 22, on ABC
ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer will have the first television interview with Cameron Douglas on his new memoir, "Long Way Home." The prime-time, one-hour special profiles Cameron's life growing up in a Hollywood dynasty and the addiction that pulled him from a gilded life down a path to drug seizures, serial rehabs, crime and drug dealing - all leading up to seven years in federal prison. It's a family love story of endurance and struggle, and a father, actor Michael Douglas, who almost gave up. "The Douglas Dynasty: Fame, Addiction and Finding Home" will air Tuesday, Oct. 22 (10:00 - 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
In the interview, Cameron reveals surprising details about his journey growing up as the son and grandson of iconic actors; his long battle with drug addiction and downward spiral that culminated in two years in solitary confinement; and the beginning of healing.
Sawyer also interviews Michael Douglas on the first time he noticed Cameron had a problem with drug use. He discusses the impact that growing up in a Hollywood fast life had on his son; how Cameron's addiction, drug abuse and time in prison affected Michael; the actions he had to take to protect himself and the rest of his family; and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones' support.

This week, the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) remained on the frontlines of the national conversation regarding issues of importance to American Jews.
First, we spoke at AIPAC Policy Conference, where Executive Director Halie Soifer – just named a "political powerhouse" by the Detroit Jewish News – gave voice to our values as Jewish Democrats. Second, Halie appeared on Fox News to underscore that support for the U.S.-Israel relationship has been – and should remain – bipartisan. Third, we pushed back against the false narrative of an alleged "boycott" of AIPAC by 2020 Democratic candidates.
Finally, JDCA was one of the only voices condemning Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) for invoking Mein Kampf on the House floor and creating an offensive, anti-Semitic parallel between Nazis and Democrats. Haven't heard of this unconscionable incident that occurred four days ago in Congress? That's because JDCA and ADL are the only organizations far calling for Rep. Brooks to apologize for his remarks.
Hard to believe that a member of Congress could call an entire party Nazis and invoke Hitler's teachings on the House floor? We're shocked too, but here's the video, which Rep. Brooks himself proudly posted on his YouTube channel.
Hard to believe that there's been NO response to this incident among Republicans, the Republican Jewish Coalition, or others? We're calling it out for what it is – blatant hypocrisy of Republicans, who are quick to point out anti-Semitism when it occurs on the Democratic side of the aisle, but are silent when one of their own engages in such vile behavior. JDCA is committed to calling out anti-Semitism wherever and whenever it occurs.
Join us in calling for Rep. Brooks to apologize by signing our petition, and read more on this incident in an op-ed from JDCA adviser Steve Sheffey. If you share our view that we must continue to give voice to our values, please support JDCA today. Read on to learn more.
Mein Kampf on the House floor?
JDCA joined the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in calling for Republican Congressman Mo Brooks to apologize for his deeply offensive comparison of Democrats to Nazis. On March 25, Rep. Brooks invoked Hitler's vitriolic and dangerous words, taken straight from Mein Kampf, on the House floor in an attempt to attack Democrats for their interest in the findings of the Mueller Report.
JDCA also condemned Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert for defending Rep. Brooks' behavior. Representative Brooks did not vote for the strong anti-Semitism resolution House Democrats passed earlier this month because, in his words, the resolution showed the House "cares about virtually everyone except Christians and Caucasians." Join us in calling on Rep. Brooks to apologize for his dangerous and anti-Semitic remarks invoking Mein Kampf on the House floor.
So much happens every week, and JDCA is quoted nearly every day in the national, international, and Jewish news. Check out the press coverage here and remain informed in real-time by following JDCA on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Our work is not possible without your support, and we thank you for standing with JDCA as we fight for socially progressive, pro-Israel, and Jewish values.

A fascinating look into a new, seemingly strong marriage thrust into an impossible situation. Jones brings to life a story that causes you to evaluate your own relationships: what would happen to YOUR marriage if the unthinkable happened to you?
I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me of Mama Day by Gloria Naylor and Their Eyes were Watching God by Zoraida Neale Hurston. They all deal with keeping a relationship together during a tumultuous situation. I'm An American Marriage not all the characters were likable but she made them complex enough that you could understand where they were coming from.  I was surprised that I like it because the major crisis in the book dealt with a very delicate and sensitive topic. A black man being imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. The emotion of the book gripped me.  I like the journey that they all took.
This book follows Roy Jr & Celestial through their first 2 yrs of marriage before an incident upends their life together. Told from several points of view, as well as covering many years through letters to each other, this book examines what it means to be married to someone, and the values we place upon others & ourselves. This book was enjoyable.
I was introduced to this book from in a Booklist webinar, Enticing Book Club Picks.
Jones writes of a fictional family in the south, who are touched by one person being in the wrong place at the wrong time and the false accusations. The ripple effect and the harm it causes are told in narratives by various characters in the book.
Recommended for public libraries and book clubs.
Me. Jones has written an engaging tale chronicling the lives of Celestial and Roy and their circle of friends and relatives. Characters are well developed, as is the setting.
The over all story was fantastic and touched the heartstrings. The relationship between Roy and Celeste represented the true struggles of a marriage through distance and resentment. Celeste as a character reflects the need for a person to be free. Free of not only social bonds, but of expectations those closes to you have.
I raced to the end, reading the book in one day, which I never manage to do. There is a lot I really liked about this book, but the last fifth or so of the book disappointed me. The characters I came to care about exhibited choices and behavior that I feel are very much out of character. There were, in my interpretation at least, some disturbing values portrayed in the end too. Jones' writing is often stunning and the dialogue is believable. I have to give her credit for getting the Louisiana speak right (making groceries, fixing a plate) - lots of books, TV shows, and movies fail miserably at their attempt at Louisiana settings and characters, but not Jones.
This book was such an emotional ride, I can't remember the last time I was so invested in the lives of fictional characters. This book is a painful and honest look into the workings of a marriage when the husband is sent to jail, the aftermath that follows is so raw and heart wrenching. I honestly couldn't put this book down, I could not wait to learn what would ultimately happen. The author created some wonderful characters, I truly felt as though I knew them as I progressed through the book. While the subject matter may not be what I usually gravitate toward I really enjoyed this book!
I was given an advance copy from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review, all opinions are my own.
Aside from the unneeded racial comments towards the beginning of the book, I enjoyed the book.
I loved this book so much! The ending was so unsatisfying that it took some of the initial happiness away and left me wanting answers. But anyway, what a great writer this woman is!
Story is about what happens to a marriage when a husband, wrongly accused, goes to prison. Main question is - can modern marriages stand the test of time? I wondered about the adjective 'American' in the title and I still don't see why is this story specifically related to American and not all other similar marriages across the world, but, oh well.  I liked how we could follow the story from different POVs, their motives were well elaborated. That didn't make me love the husband any more than little, but I appreciate a well-crafted character. Celestial is such an interesting woman and I really enjoyed her story and her strength, pride and ease. Basically, I loved them all and I felt for them all. Just like when you hear a sad story about someone you know, neighbor or a coworker and you feel invested because you saw them and had some ideas about what they are going through. So, good job, Miss Jones!
I loved the style, I will certainly follow Tayari Jones' future work, this was such a pleasure for me. Although I was left with a lot of questions about the ending, I liked the questions that resonated with me after reading about many deeper issues, not related to the plot. This novel had a lot of strong convictions worth discussing or at least mentioning.
I think Tayari Jones has a clear, accessible style, but this book does not have the heart of Leaving Atlanta or Silver Sparrow--for whatever reason, there just doesn't seem to be as much at stake.
This novel cements the authors well deserved reputation. Riveting and well written.
Great read! This novel has so many levels to it. What is marriage? What binds us to people? Would your marriage survive circumstances beyond your control? I liked that Jones gave the perspectives of Roy, Celestial and Andre. There is no clear right or wrong choices. I really enjoyed this novel.
I have a feeling that when this novel is released it will be the natural choice for book groups. So many things to discuss. Thanks so much to Netgalley for the chance to read this book!


Everything. Everything they say is a lie.
Sarah Palin's visit to Iraq in 2007 consisted of a brief stop at a border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait, the vice presidential candidate's campaign said yesterday, in the second official revision of her only trip outside North America.
Following her selection last month as John McCain's running mate, aides said Palin had traveled to Ireland, Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq to meet with members of the Alaska National Guard. During that trip she was said to have visited a 'military outpost' inside Iraq. The campaign has since repeated that Palin's foreign travel included an excursion into the Iraq battle zone.
But in response to queries about the details of her trip, campaign aides and National Guard officials in Alaska said by telephone yesterday that she did not venture beyond the Kuwait-Iraq border when she visited Khabari Alawazem Crossing, also known as 'K-Crossing,' on July 25, 2007.
I wonder if her name is really Sarah?
"The McCain campaign said Governor Palin opposed the Bridge to Nowhere, but now we know she supported it. They said she didn't seek earmarks, but now we know she hired a lobbyist to get millions in pork for her town and her state. They said she visited Iraq, but today we learned that she only stopped at the border. Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn't lying about?" said Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.

Nurix Closes $120 Million Financing to Support Protein Degradation Program
Business, Collaborations, Financing, Immuno-oncology, Investors, Small Molecules, T-Cells
By Mark Terry
BioSpace
Nurix, based in San Francisco, closed an oversubscribed $120 million financing. The round was led by Foresite Capital with participation from Bain Capital Life Sciences, Boxer Capital (Tavistock Group), EcoR1 Capital, Redmile Group, Wellington Management Company and an undisclosed investor. Founding investors, The Column Group and Third Rock Ventures, also participated.
Nurix focuses on developing therapies that modulate protein levels via small molecule drugs that target E3 ligases. This involves a range of immune-mediated diseases and hematologic cancers, including immuno-oncology therapies.
It expects to use the funds to advance its wholly-owned development candidates into the clinic. The leading pipeline product is an oral BTK chimeric targeting molecule (CTM) for B-cell cancers. Nurix says it expects to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of the year.
The second compound in the pipeline is an oral inhibitor of the CBL-B ligase to stimulate T-cells and IL-2 secretion. It is being developed as an immuno-oncology agent. Both candidates came out of Nurix's DELigase targeted protein modulation platform. This combines DNA-encoded libraries with a growing set of E3 ligases to achieve targeted protein modulation.
"With the funds raised in this financing, Nurix is well positioned to bring its targeted protein modulation therapeutics into the clinic," said Arthur Sands, chief executive officer of Nurix. "We will also continue to use our powerful DELigase platform to discover new therapies aimed at previously undruggable targets of high therapeutic potential."
In addition to the pipeline products it has developed itself, Nurix recently inked two strategic collaborations with Sanofi and Gilead Sciences to develop novel protein degradation therapies in a range of therapeutic areas.
The Sanofi partnership was announced on January 9. The multi-year collaboration will leverage the DELigase platform to create molecules that induce degradation of three specified drug targets. Sanofi has an option to expand the deal to a total of five targets. Sanofi will have exclusive rights and handle clinical development and commercialization of any compounds that come out of the research. Nurix will retain the option to co-develop and co-promote up to two products in the U.S. under specific conditions.
Under that deal, Sanofi paid Nurix $55 million up front with subsequent payments on expansion of the targets. Nurix will be eligible for up to $2.5 billion in various milestones, as well as royalties on net sales outside the U.S.
The Gilead collaboration was announced June 19, 2019. They are also working on developing targeted protein degradation drugs for cancer and other diseases. Under that deal, Nurix will use its platform to identify drugs that utilize E3 ligases to induce degradation of specified drug targets. Gilead has an option to license drug candidates for up to five targets. Nurix will hold the option to co-develop and co-detail up to two programs in the U.S.
Under this deal, Gilead paid Nurix $45 million up front and is eligible for up to $2.3 billion in milestone payments in addition to low double-digit tiered royalties on net sales.
In total, those two deals involved $100 million in upfront payments and the potential for more than $4.5 billion in milestones with potential royalties on top of all that.
Of today's financing, Michael Rome, partner at Foresite, said, "Nurix's CTM and DELigase platform technologies have led to the discovery of novel BTK degrades with the potential to transform the treatment landscape for hematological indications. Their differentiated platform and novel approach have resulted in strategic corporate partnership and we believe position the company as a leader in the emerging protein modulation field."

Anarchist Cookbook Updated: How to Make a Flour Bomb
In my last post, I discussed The Anarchist Cookbook, which was originally published in 1971 by William Powell. It's a fascinating book, not only because of its literally explosive contents but also because of the transformation of its author from violent activist to emotionally intelligent teacher. More than forty years later, the Cookbook continues to be circulated and read. However, it is no longer the polemical text, in which Powell wrote:
I believe that the people in power – not only political power, but also economic and social power – will not non-violently give up that power to the people. Power is not a material possession that can be given, it is the power to act. Power must be taken, it is never given (Powell, 1971, p. 27).
Thanks to the Internet, the Cookbook's contents have been revised and updated by a number of anonymous authors. According to Rocco Castoro, former Editor-in-Chief at Vice magazine, a text file called The BHU's Handbook started to circulate during the 1980s on the 'bulletin board system', a primitive version of Reddit. The Handbook was an updated version of the Cookbook with new 'recipes' that took into account the latest technologies. It became known as the 'electronic Anarchist Cookbook' and included many new methods for mayhem written by authors calling themselves Exodus, The Jolly Roger and more.
As a result, there now exists an Anarchy Cookbook 2000 and other versions. These new iterations have been stripped of the ideology in Powell's text. You won't find any quotes from Abraham Lincoln or Malcom X in their pages. They are now just compendiums of violence and petty crime. In fact, the vast majority of recipes are not found anywhere in the original Cookbook, including information on how to get free postage, various methods of hacking, credit card fraud, and even a section on knowing your legal rights if you happen to be arrested in the United States. Some parts of Powell's text remain; Cookbook 2000 still claims you can get high from banana peels.
Title and cover of the Anarchy Cookbook Version 2000
In some ways, it makes sense that the original Cookbook was updated. Powell's text was written in the days before the Internet, smart phones or even cable TV. The new Cookbooks are about causing anarchy in the world we live in now.
I've decided to make a recipe from the 2000 version: the flour bomb. Contributed by The Jolly Roger, it is for those 'who do not wish to inflict bodily damage on their victims but only terror'.
… [the bomb] covers the victim with the flour… which will put the victim in terror since as far as they are concerned, some strange white powder is all over them (Anarchy Cookbook 2000, p. 46).
The reason people would panic is because we now live in an era of terrorism, chemical weapons and other random acts of violence. An unknown white powder could spark fears of ricin, a highly toxic substance that has been mailed to various politicians including American President Barack Obama in 2013. It was even featured on an episode of cult TV show Breaking Bad.
How to make a flour bomb
Spray bottle with water
Separate the layers of paper towel. Use only one layer for your flour bomb, or it won't explode open.
Wet a single layer of the paper towel with your spray bottle.
Pour in a good amount of flour.
Fold up the edges.
Tie up with a rubber band.
Spray with more water to ensure it explodes upon impact.
Test out your bomb.
Then find a victim… and bomb away.
The flour bomb is obviously harmless and seems more appropriate for a Halloween prank than any kind of serious protest. However it represents the on-going life of an important book in protest culture. The Anarchist Cookbook may have been the result of youthful anger, but there's no doubt it was borne out of a genuine desire to battle against tyranny and oppression.
This is not a revolutionary book in any traditional sense, but its premise is the sanctity of human dignity. If this human dignity and pride cannot be obtained in the existing social order, there is only one choice for a real man and that is revolution (Powell, 1971, p. 29).

Hernandez addresses supporters in the capital, Tegucigalpa, on Nov. 24, 2013.
Honduran voters have given the ruling National Party four more years in the presidency, even though crime worsened and poverty and unemployment increased under outgoing President Porifirio Lobo.
Juan Orlando Hernandez, 45, the party's candidate who campaigned on a law-and-order platform, has won the hotly contested presidential race, electoral authorities said late Monday in declaring his lead "irreversible."
Even before the announcement, his main competitor, Xiomara Castro, had challenged the official returns and claimed victory for herself. Her husband, former President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a 2009 coup, said they wouldn't accept the results.
With about 68 percent of the votes counted from Sunday's election, Hernandez had 34 percent to 29 percent for Castro in an eight-candidate field.
Honduras, home to 8.5 million people, has the world's highest homicide rate and has been a focal point for U.S. drug enforcement efforts as the transit point for much of the South American cocaine heading to the U.S.
More than half the country lives in poverty, and the number working for less than the minimum wage of $350 a month has grown from 28 percent in 2008 to 43 percent today.
Hernandez, 45, promised in his campaign to do "whatever I have to" in fighting crime in a country where much of the cities are controlled by gangs and the outlying remote areas are held by drug-runners.
As president of congress, Hernandez pushed through legislation creating a military police force to patrol the most difficult areas of the major cities instead of the National Police, a force penetrated by corruption and often accused of extrajudicial killings.
Hernandez, a lawyer and reserve army lieutenant who studied law at New York University, was first elected to congress in 1997 and became the body's president in 2010.


Folks, we learned just now that remittances or sending money abroad were taxed by income tax by up to 25% (this value can be even higher) from 1 January 2016.
We were making a money transfer of Brazil Bank for Western Union, and the bank reported that due to non-extension of the deadline set by the Normative Instruction of the Federal Revenue No. 1.214/2011, since 01/01/2016, remittances abroad, via self-service channels, They are limited to Swift type of orders for same ownership, on which is not levied income tax.
Since 01/01/2016 the IRS returned to collect income tax on transfers abroad, except Swift same ownership. The other Swift orders to other members and Western Union for any title will be taxed 15% a 25% of the total transfer. The rules that percentage of taxation are still not very clear.
With this news, we went after information, if indeed it was true, because we have not heard anyone talk about it, and unfortunately it is even, second articles published in Folha de São Paulo (Click here to read the article) and in the magazine Globo Season (Click here to read the article).
This is very bad, for all Brazilians living abroad.
Confirm informed on the matter the best way not to pay tribute is to use the Credit Card or Travel Money.
Galera day today 02/03/2016 again changed the law / tax, see the new post.
O TransferWise It is the easiest way, Quick, safe and with the best exchange rates and currency conversion see how it works, is run away from abusive rate and IR.


Dream of Destruction (short: DoD) is the last dungeon to receive the endgame weapons. You can get 3 rewards at the end, if you have managed the dungeon in the given time, cleared all mobs and the group has not suffered any deaths. If any of the above requirements have not been met, the reward will be reduced by one.
Attention: weapons have percent !! Each weapon has a base ATK or M-ATK value and this can be a minimum of 101% and a maximum of 120%. Weapons below 118% can be used, but neither Mana Infusion nor Safety Stones should be wasted in these. Use weapons under 118% only until you get a better one with 118% +. Weapons below 118% are bad.
Each of the two dungeons can be made 5x daily, but if you do DoD, look that you will have enough time to do all 10. The basic requirement is that you do all 10 together - it will take at least an hour, depending on the dungeons and the group you are playing with.
Remember that people in random groups always greed on stuff because needing is like stealing. Be aware that You might be kicked if You need on Items, specially Unidentified ones.
Watch out for Bloody Payback and for Reflect Skills on the Boss Monsters. Those will kill You instantly when You just run into it. Make sure the group can change their classes. To fight Bloody Payback (short: BpB) or Reflect Skill (shot: REF) You will need to swtich on Warlock's awaken class "Demon Tamer" and this class needs a lot of healing. Cleric's awaken class "Adjudicator" is just perfect for it.
We've made in-depth guide for DOD, details are written in the video description, it contains monster counts and mechanisms to do S+ run, with 2 carries, in every DOD map.

You won't ever find out unless you've got your roof analyzed by way of a hail damage expert. Restoring the roof isn't only going to guard your home but in addition, give it a much-needed upgrade.

If you really must make sure your roof is absolutely free from harm following a hail storm, there is really no avoiding actually getting up in addition to your building and carrying a superb look. The roof is possibly the most significant portion of a home, besides the folks dwelling in the home. The roof and gutter systems are an essential portion of your residence and your living.
Start at one corner of your home and find out how much overhang your roof gets. You would like to know your roof is protected for a long time. Eventually, your roof will wind up leaking. Replacing your roof ought to be a simple and painless experience. In case of damage, a roof may not have to get replaced, but the fix might be an alternate. If your roof is comparatively easy as the massive percentage of roofs are, you may get quite a precise estimate of the number of material which you'll need. By following a systematic strategy, you can work on the whole roof and easily locate the immense holes.
A roof never lasts so long as the manufacturer states it will. So it's always best to wash your roofs regularly. A home's roof has to be physically inspected by someone who has training and experience to establish whether there's actual hail damage.
Whether you just need your roof repainted, cleaned, have holes that need to be repaired, moss which should go, or longer, you've arrived at the correct spot! Obviously in case you prefer to receive the roof paid for, then you should be there. Hence whenever you realize that the roof valleys have begun leaking water, then you shouldn't wait more and rush to the closest experts.
Inspect the Attic Even if the outside of your roof appears like it's in fantastic shape, the only method to ensure there are not any leaks is to become in the attic. The roof is the only portion of the home that typically requires the main investment. It may be totaled if there's enough junk underneath enough shingles, even if the shingles are unable to reseal properly. A roof on any kind of building is very vulnerable and warrants special consideration.
The roofing contractor would help you discover the perfect roofing option within your financial plan. It's preferable to call the roofing contractor to deal with your house roof repairs. The roofing contractor you are employing should not have any problem meeting the adjuster alongside you. What's more, the roofing contractor is in possession of the most recent technology and equipment needed to create roofs. Inside my experience, quite a number of the neighborhood roofing contractors will absorb that fee so as to receive your organization. Experienced roofing contractors should be ready to supply absolutely free roofing estimates upon request.
In the event, the steps for roof replacement are followed appropriately then you're going to have a home that resembles a million bucks. Though a comprehensive roof replacement may be necessary, the roofer may be able to just put in a new membrane and surfacing, as opposed to performing a detailed tear-off. Whether you go for a complete roof replacement or over-cladding, depends upon the quantity of damage the roof has sustained over time and your general budget. Before trying to find top roofing companies to acquire your repairs completed it's extremely vital that you show it to the insurer to be given a reasonable idea of the damage. In conditions where emergency repair is warranted, it's far better to use a seasoned roofer instead of attempt a do-it-by-yourself stunt. It's imperative to be sure you're selecting the correct roof replacement contractors for the job, so once you choose to change out your roof it is wise to acquire estimates from several contractors.

Do College Rankings Really Matter?
While many students study hard to get into the "top" ranked schools, it is question whether the rankings are accurate after all.
Fall is here, and with it comes the stresses of the ACT, AP classes, extracurriculars, and for seniors, the dreaded college applications. With just one year left at Mercy, the thought of college is looming in the back of seniors' minds. For many Mercy girls, the high school years all come down to one thing: preparing for college.
While many students study hard to get into the "top" ranked schools, some people question whether the rankings are accurate after all.
In the search for the 'perfect' college, plenty of students take rankings intohigh account. U.S News & World Report and Forbes are two of the best known publications used by students to compare colleges. They have traditionally had the reputation of being the most reliable for college rankings, but many experts are starting to question the validity of the publication's claims.
"The rankings exacerbate the status anxiety that afflicts so many high school students. The singleinded goal of too many high school students – pushed by parents, guidance counselors and society itself – is to get into a "good" school. Those who don't land a prestigious admission feel like failures," said Kevin Carey, education policy director at New America Foundation.
The stresses of getting into a "top" school are real for many, but are those schools truly the best? The New York Times reported earlier this year that Claremont McKenna College, a well known school in California, falsified their SAT scores in order to move up in the rankings. Harvard, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, and Baylor University have also allegedly changed their numbers.
While a college's rank may be something to consider when choosing a school, many other factors should be taken into account. Things like student life, opportunities available at the school, majors offered, and graduation rates should also play a big part when determining what college to attend.
"College rankings are important to me, but when it comes down to it I really just want to go to a school that is best for me and the major that I plan to study," said junior Gina Ruggirello.
Earth Day, Every Day


Clayne Crawford - who has co-starred as Martin Riggs opposite Damon Wayans' Roger Murtaugh since the show's premiere in 2016 - has reportedly created an on-set atmopshere so toxic that it's threatening the show's renewal, according to an exclusive report from Deadline.
Loosely inspired by the film franchise starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, Fox's Lethal Weapon follows Riggs (Crawford), coming back to work after the loss of his wife and unborn child, and Murtaugh (Damon Wayans), recovering from a heart attack, as they partner up to work the beat in modern-day Los Angeles.
It's possible the same thing happens on Lethal Weapon.
The ratings for Lethal Weapon are significantly lower for Season 2, but the show also moved to a more competitive time slot on Tuesdays. The first reprimand was because I reacted with anger over working conditions that did not feel safe or conducive to good work under the leadership of a guest director and assistant director, who, in turn, were angry at my response.
Ina lightly statement posted to his Instagram, the actor called Monday's news "incredibly distressing", before going in depth to explain two incidents that led studio Warner Bros.to discipline him.
He directed the latest episode of the show, called Jesse's Girl, due to air in the United States later this week.
"I take great pride in treating everyone in life with dignity and kindness", he concluded. Crawford's behavior has led to other actors feeling uncomfortable with him continuing in the role.
"I absolutely love, respect and care for my crew and cast, and would never intentionally jeopardize so many jobs", Crawford wrote. Moreover, I love the process of filmmaking and television. It's a little too early to say one way or another what the future of the series will be, but with this apology in mind it seems as though Fox will ultimately be left with a couple of choices: Keeping the show around with Crawford or canceling it.
According to Saudi Arabia, the Houthis-a Shiite militia backed by Iran-are holding the port of Hodeidah as "a tool of war". Mahdi al-Mashat, a former fighter who until now directed al-Houthi's office, was elected as a successor.

Should Baseball Pitchers Choose Their Pitches at Random?
Because game theory is well-suited to games.
The World Series has had many dramatic moments, but few rival the made-for-Hollywood drama of Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run off Oakland A's closer Dennis Eckersley in the 1988 World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers slugger had a pulled left hamstring and a swollen right knee and could barely swing the bat, but he also possessed a critical piece of information.
Eckersley had dominated American League hitters all season, but he had fallen into a pattern — a tendency to throw a backdoor slider in 3–2 counts to left-handed batters. Gibson had learned this from a scout named Mel Didier, who'd watched the future Hall of Famer pitch more than 20 times that season. Eckersley, of course, threw the backdoor slider to Gibson, and the ball ended up in the right-field bleachers and etched into baseball history.
In baseball's perennial chess match between pitcher and hitter, such information about an opponent's tendencies is invaluable. And so too is the effort to avoid engaging in such pitch patterns, especially in a game now swimming in data and in-house sabermaticians who chart players' every move on the field. Thanks to the sport's Moneyball revolution, batters are being fed more information than ever about pitchers' tendencies, and pitchers are getting better at subverting batters' expectations. But are they missing the ultimate tool for stymieing hitters? Would they be able to call an even better game if they instead left the pitch selection up to … chance?
Even the act of changing one's patterns is itself predictable.
The brains of batters, like all human brains, are primed to recognize patterns and to make predictions about what will happen next. As Ken Arneson, a blogger who writes about baseball, brains and technology, puts it, "A batter can't consciously decide, 'I'm not predicting anything.' The brain does this on autopilot." The best pitchers try to defy these inherent predictions and avoid falling into ascertainable patterns. Of course, even the act of changing one's patterns is in itself predictable. "The problem is humans are quite bad at being random," says Yale economist Tobias Moskowitz, an expert on the impact of sequencing on decision-making. "They overthink and develop patterns they aren't necessarily aware of that are predictable." Could adopting a randomization strategy in pitch sequencing help forestall such predictability? If so, what would that look like?
The best way to attempt such a strategy as a pitcher, according to Moskowitz, is to look for some cue unrelated to the decision you are making. Rumor has it, he says, that Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, known as one of the game's best and most cerebral pitchers, would sometimes use a cue in the stadium, like the time on a clock, to help inject some element of randomness into his pitch selection. So, for example, throw a fastball if the clock time ends with an even number, and a breaking ball if it ends with an odd one.
But is such randomization effective? So far, a grand theory of pitch sequencing has eluded sabermaticians, but there is some evidence that a more randomized approach could be beneficial. As Baseball Prospectus' Robert Arthur has shown, location entropy — the amount of unpredictability in where a pitcher locates pitches — is strongly associated with more strikeouts when a pitcher manages to remain unpredictable in the strike zone.
A purely randomized sequencing approach, however, may not be ideal. Every pitcher throws some pitches with more effectiveness and accuracy than others. Plus, batters' brains are wired to be more vulnerable to certain sequence changes, like a change in pitch speed. "If you completely randomize the distribution," argues Arneson, "you're going to end up throwing exactly the thing the batter is prepared to hit for far more often than you need to." A more optimal approach might therefore be a weighted randomization model in which pitches are selected at random with appropriate weight given to factors such as pitch quality, game situation, the count and batter ability.
Carpenter also points out that there is one major natural source of randomness in pitching that most people forget about: human imperfection. Even Maddux with his pinpoint control still missed his target about 25 percent of the time; but, one of the things that made him so special, says Carpenter, was that he embraced this "random fallibility" and would even put his mistakes to good use by using them to set up his next pitch. Of course, in some cases, as with Eckersley's backdoor slider, you never get a chance to deliver that next pitch or to make up for a mistake.

Arrest Warrant Signed for Nebraska RB Maurice Washington
More from Derek
An arrest warrant for Nebraska running back Maurice Washington has been signed by a judge in Santa Clara County, California. Washington's attorney, John C. Ball, was made aware of the warrant Thursday afternoon by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office.
Washington is accused of sending a video depicting an alleged sexual assault of his former girlfriend to that girl in March of 2018. Because the video was taken two years prior, while the girl was under the age of 18, and Washington sent the video while legally deemed an adult, he is facing a felony charge of distribution of child pornography as well as a misdemeanor charge under California's "Revenge Porn" law because he's accused of sending the video to inflict emotional damage on the victim.
A warrant for Washington's arrest was sent to a judge in California in December and signed Thursday.
"We expected this, and were prepared for it," Ball said in a statement to Hail Varsity. "I have also specifically confirmed that we will continue to move forward with a self-surrender, meaning that Mr. Washington will not be arrested or extradited, and that he will voluntarily appear in court in California."
A timeframe for doing so, Ball said, is still being worked out. A court date does not appear to be set. Ball said Washington remains "fully cooperative in this matter."
Washington is not being charged in relation to the alleged sexual assault that occurred in 2016, only for a video sent to the victim in March of 2018 before Washington was a student at Nebraska.
Washington enrolled at UNL in the fall of 2018.
On September 13, 2018, the UNL Police Department informed Nebraska's athletic department that the Nebraska Attorney General's office was seeking to talk to Washington, according to a statement from NU spokesman Keith Mann. At that time, UNLPD provided contact information for Jamie Vaughn, Executive Associate Athletic Director-Compliance, to the Attorney General's office. The police did not know the nature of the inquiry.
That same day, Vaughn spoke with Ed Sexton, an investigator in the Nebraska Attorney General's office. Vaughn was told the Attorney General's office was cooperating with a California agency and that Sexton wished to speak to Washington. Mann says Vaughn was told Washington was not in any trouble in Nebraska, and Sexton would not say if Washington was the subject of the inquiry of the California agency, a witness to a matter being investigated or anything related to the nature of why the California agency wished to speak with Washington.
Vaughn stated he would look into the possibility of arranging for an interview but had no further conversations with the Attorney General's office.
Following department protocol, Vaughn informed Bob Burton, Deputy Athletic Director-Chief of Staff, and Athletic Director Bill Moos of the conversation with the Nebraska Attorney General's office.
At that time, Washington was introduced to Jon Bruning, a former Nebraska Attorney General. Bruning, Mann said, has a "long-standing" friendship with Associate Athletic Director Matt Davison and head football coach Scott Frost that precedes "either's employment at the University of Nebraska."
Nebraska Football staff were clear to both Bruning and Washington that Washington had to be treated as a normal client and billed appropriately, Mann said.
"Coach Frost had subsequent communication with Bruning to determine whether the Football program needed to be concerned with the issue or take any action," Mann said. "Bruning did not share the nature of the inquiry due to attorney-client privilege, but noted it involved a text message from when Washington was in California and he doubted it would result in criminal charges."
No additional details on this issue were provided to anyone in the Nebraska athletic department until an inquiry on Feb. 8, when Michael Bott, a reporter for NBC Bay Area, contacted UNL.
Bott said, "We will be reporting soon that a University of Nebraska football player is facing felony child pornography charges, as well as misdemeanor charges related to California's 'revenge porn' statute.' Mann said UNL was informed at a later time on Feb. 8 that the football player in question was Washington.
"This was the first time any reference to the nature of these charges was known to University officials," Mann said.
During an appearance on the Husker Sports Nightly radio show on Wednesday, Moos said the same. That he was unaware of exact details surrounding the investigation into Washington until UNL was contacted by Bott for the NBC Bay Area story.
Bruning is no longer Washington's attorney. He told the Omaha World-Herald that he referred Washington to Ball, a Lincoln-based criminal defense attorney, upon learning that charges were pending against Washington.
The next step in the matter will be Washington traveling to California to appear before a judge.
"Mr. Washington is presumed to be innocent," Ball said. "He will address this case in a court of law, relying on rules of evidence and due process.
