Georgia Teacher Charged With Four Murder Counts In Two Children' Deaths
Michael De'Sean White was accused of killing an 11-year-old girl and her 15-year-old brother in 2016.
A Dekalb County, Georgia teacher has been charged with four counts of murder in the deaths of two African-American children, Atlanta's WSB-TV reported.
Michael De'Sean White, 26, was accused of killing an 11-year-old girl and her 15-year-old brother in 2016. White, a fifth-grade teacher at Toney Elementary School in DeKalb County, was arrested at the school Friday by the Clayton County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Task Force.
White is allegedly a member of the Crips criminal street gang, documents obtained by WSB-TV's investigative reporter Mark Winne claimed. A known member of the Crips "advised that 'Mike', referring to Michael White, was one of the 'shooters' responsible for the shooting death of Daveon and Tatiyana Coates," the document said.
The Coates siblings were tragically killed in a gang-related home invasion in Clayton County in October 2016, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. A 911 caller alerted authorities that someone entered the home and shots had been fired.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensic artist Kelly Lawson's sketch of a man at the murder scene pushed Clayton County police investigators to build a case against White, Clayton County Police Chief Kevin Roberts said to WSB-TV.
Nicole Fegan, White's lawyer, denied the charges.
White has been removed from Toney Elementary School until an investigation is complete, district officials said. He had taught fifth grade at Toney since August and started as a district paraprofessional last March.
Police also identified a second suspect, Jamon M. Bynum, on Wednesday. Bynum was also charged in the gang-related homicides.
"His [Bynum's] role is not yet completely defined, but we can confirm he was present when the homicides took place," Roberts said. "We hope to bring some solace and resolve to that family."
An indictment has charged several people with murder and related offenses in the homicides of the two children, District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson confirmed. A news conference will be held on Thursday with new information in the case, Roberts said.

The Startup Canada Tour
November 6, 2015 by Tessa Bousfield
November 16th to 22nd marks Global Entrepreneurship Week. Coincidentally, Startup Canada's #EveryEntrepreneur Tour is on the road spreading the good word, providing on-site inspiration, mentorship and training to thousands of entrepreneurs to help cultivate the next generation of anchor companies across Canada (No big deal).
The tour hit the road on October 14th in Halifax, NS, and lands in a total of six Canadian cities before wrapping up in Toronto, ON on December 14th.
Entrepreneurs from across the country are participating in bootcamp-style training sessions in areas such as finance, scaling, marketing and going global, and hearing from speakers such as Second Cup Co-Founder Frank O'Dea and Moxie Trades CEO Marissa McTasney.
Dan Gunn, CEO of VIATEC, was also a Keynote speaker at the Vancouver stop on November 4th and speaks again in Whitehorse on November 7th and in Calgary on November 9th.
His talk is titled: Make a Difference (by being different): How you can grow your startup, your community and yourself at the same time.
It was well received and had Twitter users quoting him during, after (and hopefully for the rest of their lives):

Lodi School Board hesitantly takes on funding Lodi Community Action Team
By Jonathan Stefonek [email protected]
jstefonek
There wasn't necessarily opposition to the Lodi School District investing in substance abuse prevention, but for some board members it was a lot of money and an uncomfortable proposition in Monday's meeting.
At the Lodi Board of Education's July 11 meeting board members were presented with a request to support the continuation of the Lodi Community Action Team, or LCAT. The group was started in 2007 with a mission to prevent youth substance abuse and in 2015 was central to the creation of Prevention and Response Columbia County, a group developed to counter the opioid epidemic.
In 2011 LCAT received funding through the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Drug-Free Communities Grant, a $125,000 five-year grant that was later renewed. But organizations cannot receive that grant more than twice, putting LCAT in the position of potentially seeing the majority of its funding disappear in September.
LCAT Project Coordinator Bryan Bilse, with District Administrator Vince Breunig (standing in for Project Director Paula Enger), presented to the board, requesting annual funding of roughly $91,583.
"Over the years, you've seen LCAT," said Breunig. "You've seen them be involved in so many different things."
In the following presentation, Breunig and Bilse highlighted the LCAT's work with the Lodi Pride campaign, youth programs such as safe post-game parties at Lodi schools, information distribution, environmental strategies, like public warnings and signage, and training and education for adult community members.
To highlight their successes, Breunig pointed to results from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), given to Lodi High School students. The survey separately asked students if they had used alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana in the past 30 days, with answers of "yes" in the 2011 survey totaling 39.7% for alcohol, 13.3% for tobacco, and 24.5% for marijuana. By comparison, 2019 survey results showed affirmative responses for alcohol down to 29%, tobacco down to .8%, and marijuana down to 15%.
At the time that the 2019 data was originally shared with the Lodi School Board in January 2020, according to Lodi Enterprise reporting at the time, School Board Treasurer and LCAT Coalition Chair Steven Ricks described those numbers as concerning by showing numbers moving in the "wrong direction" for the first time in many years. In the survey, vaping stood out as an issue with the number of high school students reporting as having done that in the prior 30 days doubled from 17.3% in 2017 to 38% in 2019.
Between 2017 and 2019 the rate of students using prescription drugs increased from 4% to 8%, which Ricks pointed to as a focus of the group, and reflecting an overall much improved situation.
"LCAT was started because of prescription drug use," Ricks told the board. "When we started, it was closer to 20% across the board."
As the opioid epidemic was prominently in public consciousness at the end of the 2010s the group Prevention and Response Columbia County focused largely on Portage, Columbus and Lodi as a matter of logistics and urgency as Breunig alluded to, talking to the board on Monday.
"One of the things that Roger Brandner, who is now the sheriff and sits on LCAT--and when Steven and Paula first started LCAT--they talked about Lodi as the worst spot in the county for alcohol, drugs, and opioids," said Breunig. "They now talk about Lodi as the best and the place they want to raise kids, and a large part of that has to do with LCAT."
The bulk of the proposed funding would be $135,291 in salary and benefits to keep Bilse and Enger on staff with the district. A little less than half of that would be covered by the county through PARCC, leaving $72,133 paid by the district. Other budgeted expenses include supplies, travel and personal development, marketing, and website and software, totaling $19,450, adding up to a total request of $91,583 from the district.
Although the school district has a state imposed revenue limit, the same does not apply for "Fund 80" programming, which can be levied. At the same time, Breunig pointed out that state school aid is estimated to go up 13%, or roughly $600,000. Since the state legislature did not raise revenue limits for public schools, that school aid will bypass the school and go directly to lowering property taxes.
An unknown factor in funding LCAT, as Bilse explained, was that Enger has applied for new grant funding that would be in the area of $50,000, but the results of that application are not expected until September, as the current funding will be ending.
If the grant were to come through, according to the proposal, that amount would be subtracted from the levy.
Board member Heather Baron, attending virtually, asked for clarification of the relationship between the school district and LCAT. Breunig explained that although the program is grant funded, the school supports it as a financial agent and with some other expenses that are later reimbursed.
With the relationship changing to the district largely funding LCAT itself, Baron asked if there could be an expectation of the district more directly receiving benefits from the program.
As things currently stand, that would be impossible, Breunig explained, clarifying that the program would be funded through Fund 80, which is a state mandated fund for public schools to provide public services, other examples being swimming lessons, and food delivery programs. If the benefit was directed specifically toward students, then it would be a Fund 10 program, and would be subject to revenue limits and other restrictions of school spending.
Board member Scott Bilse also questioned why it the burden should be so largely on the district if it is a community program.
"I don't want to sound like the Grinch," said Bilse, "...we're basically asking taxpayers to pay for LCAT."
Board member Kristi McMorris expressed similar reservations, telling the group that she was uncomfortable with the apparent choice before members to either take over as the majority supporter of the program, or to see it killed.
"I feel very pressured to make this decision and I don't like it at all," said McMorris.
Board member Terry Haag suggested that the fallout of not having LCAT in place could be greater than what they were being asked to fund. In a more heated moment, Board President H. Adam Steinberg recalled the crisis of heroin addiction at the time that the group started: "$100,000 would be cheap for a program like LCAT, other communities would like to have something like it, but don't," said Steinberg, going on to address the tax burden, saying, "how much would their property values drop with heroin coming back in and opiate overdoses?"
At the end, the board approved funding LCAT, minus any amount awarded to the program through future grants, seven to zero. The measure passed with the caveat of several board members stating intentions to ask organizers about efforts to broaden financial support outside the district before approving LCAT's funding in the next budget.

And no perception of time without present moment.
Write down a true story of your life without you… rather from another person's perspective and you shall witness your character in an astonishingly new light. – inspired by Tina Ng.
The best meals I've ever had were in my mind.
Like a samurai wearing the top-knot as a carry handle for whoever defeated and decapitated him… As much as we're ready to live… we must also be ready to die.
Like this prayer wheel… One revolution effects the next. Each lap is karma, each lie gets better, each theft gets smoother, each round is habit. This is why habits are such difficult creatures to retrain.
We enjoy books, theatres, cinemas, but have you ever thought of your life as scenes for others' entertainment?
Concocted yet perfectedly related is Universe. How can choice exist when everything is so extremely precise? The only choice is mindfulness.
Dragging my sleepy right leg after an hour of meditation, like the Terminator going to bathroom. "Hahahahaha! Monk gets leg pain!" A little girl laughs, disturbing everone. Meditation over.
1. Do harm not to self or others.
2. Place your happiness not on what others think, say, feel or do.
3. Place your happiness not on what self think, say, feel or do.
Sati is a simple knowing/registration of any movement. Recorded simply as is without thought… then RECALLS whenever that movement gets repeated. Samma Sati is the habitual knowing without intention, like a scratch, an eye-movement or a blink. The knowing mithout I, me, mine.
What you're looking for is what is looking.
Expect, accept & love suffering as equal partner of happiness… otherwise you are going to be disappointed in life.
We resist nature so that she expresses herself. It would be pointless not to listen.
– the more alone you will be.
We kill ourselves to meet our own expectations.
When we understand true balance… we will appreciate the functions of the selfish, greedy, angry, evil, ridgid, depressed, lively, flexible, good, happy, generous & the selfless.
Heaven & Hell are right here in our Feelings.
There isn't a square inch of ground where something had not died, but why can't we see the dead? Because nature works perfectly.
Take a dream too seriously and you won't wake up from it.
While the drill sergeant evaluates his new recruits closely. The General picks the new pack leader while standing on the rooftop watching them play.
Good & Bad have their functions in the Perfect Universe… without evil, how can we understand noble?
Felt the world taring herself to shreads. Fixing things knowing she can't fix in time. She'll be even more off balance with the new rays from the sun. She's alive and has her own karmas too.
People see me as a bad practitioner and scold me, when i laugh instead of reciprocating to their anger they get even more upset. If I told them how selfish they were they'd explode.
When an angry person abuses you, You're suppose to follow the reactions of your mind… be upset, embarrased, depressed, violent, etc… then pass on your suffering to someone else. But when you don't, you befome a defective gear in a big machine that won't reciprocate. Soon Universe chucks you out of her game. That is one aspect of Nivarna.
At one stage of my lay-person's life I imposed fear upon others. Now i live among the brave and compassionate who converted fears into love.
Masters have read my future before, but none as damning as this "You will march into the fire and let it burn you whole because it is your way of learning. And although your pain will lessen with time, those close to you will get seriously burned." – Ajahn Dang.
Religions derive from our fears of nature. – Buddhadasa Bhikkhu.
Truth is beyond the fears of Karma, the imprisonment of precepts, the love of good and outside the attachment of Self. Hence a few ever go beyond the shores.
Sports of Jhanna are fun and addictive, but they encourage the rooted super-ego to sink deeper and spring new connections while the knowing sleeps… cooking up Darth Vader.
Pushing focus "I meditate" vs. the Mind meditates are complete dissimilar phenomenon. Greatest difference being wisdom.
Although a powerful animal… a horse at young age was tied to a post with thick chains and tamed with tools of pain. Now a tiny strip of rawhide imprisons this obidient vehicle as it gets parked at places. And although the hide isn't knotted… no one can tell it that freedom is just walking a few steps back. "The truth we believe prevents us from hearing anything new." – Pema Chordon.
People called him a mad man for his zen ways, branded him a communist when he reject ranks and accused him of being an illigally ordained monk when he changed his name to Buddhadasa Bhikkhu.
A tiny scene cannot be judged unless we know extensively the whole movie… and we've all just walked in on this very long movie.
Suppression withholds truth. Be as natural as one can be… and let Mara bring his entire army. Build that habitual knowing engine, one movement at a time… stillness at presence of mind only. This is a good chance to see its true nature.
Like before the eyes focus in on an object, before ears into sounds, nose into smell, tongue into taste & skin into touch… Have you ever seen thoughts before the mind focuses in?
4 stages of Buddhist Enlightenments. Let's say a sharp knife acts as Suffering.
1st Stage: Being cut by the knife… A Rock leaves a scouring mark easily seen.
2nd Stage: A pane of Glass… knife pressed down hard, no mark at first it seems… unless observed closely.
3rd Stage: Swing that knife into Water… be there all day.
4th Stage: Now try cutting Air!
We exagerate our sufferings at others to receive attention. When asked, we withhold our stories, making a mystery out of them… so hoping others may think of us and suffer too.
Pefection lies in the balance of all things imperfect.
It knows everytime it lies to itself, everytime it puts on a mask… it tells itself "I" can live with it. But deep down it knows better.
'Knowing' is a specialised engine. One that won't take shape unless you build it. No sitting still is going to create such miracle. It is a dedicated habit of study, noting and noticing ourselves so closely that we stop looking out completely (nor looking in for that matter). What others do is no longer of concern, rather what we do in every second of existence. It is a whole new ball game.
Belief is an attachment to a Thought… so why should we care who believes what and who gets attached to what thoughts?
Truth is too simply near, what we struggle to find shall be missed.
Where I came from, to be bold is to be revered… where I am now, to be so is to be hated.
All problems are in the mind, because the mind is the problem.
We're not human beings on a spiritual journey, we are undefined energies trying to define our beings.
A millionaire at my temple has assassination paranioa… thinking everybody tries to poison him. Yesterday local psychiatrist pronounced him broke & nut, just like the monks.
Point of view is very important… for the world does not veer from perfect, only our views of it do.
Just writing to tell you Tam and I know have a son.
He is 7 months old, healthy and strong.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A new report ranks Hawaii as the worst state in the nation to start a business — but local business owners aren't completely buying it.
The ranking was a part of WalletHub's 2018 list of "best and worst states to start a business. WalletHub's methodology included looking at three main characteristics of each state including access to resources, business environment, and business costs.
Last year Hawaii was ranked fifth-worst on the list.
Access to resources is seemingly Hawaii's biggest culprit when it comes to being friendly to new businesses.
"As an island state, Hawaii is highly dependent on imports and, therefore, extremely vulnerable to outside economic and environmental disturbances," said Sherry Menor-McNamara, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii.
Menor-McNamara says utilities tend to be another cost driver, as well as taxes and labor costs. Hawaii is also the only state in the nation with mandatory healthcare coverage under the Prepaid Health Care Act.
Kolby Moser is the co-founder of Aria Studios, a wedding and photography company she started a decade ago. She's familiar with Hawaii's expensive business climate, and says WalletHub's ranking doesn't surprise her.
"I've noticed a lot of my peers have either sold their business or shut down their business," she said. "It was too slow and they couldn't afford to keep it going."
Moser says that entrepreneurs in Hawaii often have to be resourceful in order to stay afloat.
"It's harder and it costs so much, we just have to be smarter with our money," Moser said about running her business. "Because I love Hawaii, and because I know this is something I want to do for people that visit Hawaii, its just something that I have to deal with."
Some argue that Hawaii isn't all bad news for new businesses, though.
"In some ways, our location is also an advantage, with Hawaii serving as an economic gateway to economies in the Asia-Pacific Region," Menor-McNamara said.
Menor-McNamara says WalletHub's list is fair in that all 50 states were compared using the same metrics, but she believes other important factors weren't accounted for.
"These kinds of business rankings typically don't take into consideration the more intangible benefits of doing business in Hawaii," Menor-McNamara said. "Such as our way of doing business with aloha, quality of life, our relational vs. transactional culture and our philanthropic, community-minded nature."
Moser shared the same sentiment.
"It's challenging and it costs a lot to do business here, we don't have a lot of resources, but we do get to do business and live in Hawaii, which is what you sign up for," she said.

Horse riders in order to be able to cope with the demands of riding and working around horses have to take proper care of their diet and nutrition. If riders take part in horse racing cups, they are very similar to athletes. For optimum performance during the race, it's vital to take care of their diet and nutrition.
When we think about horse riders as athletes, we face two dietary issues. The first one considers riders who don't have weight problems. This rider has to take a closer look at the nutritional value of the food they are eating and implement more foods that promote good health and boost their energy. The second one considers riders who need or want to lose weight. These riders must change their diet and nutrition, and combine them with the right horse riding styles to lose weight successfully. No matter whether or not you have issues with your weight, not paying attention to nutrition is leaving out a vital link in improving your horse racing results and performance. Here are some tips to naturally improve your diet and nutrition.
Many popular diets promote high protein food intake and severely low carbohydrate food intake. However, these kinds of restrictions are not good for your long-term health. Your goal should be to eat various foods and to establish balance. It's important to implement as many unprocessed foods, healthy fats and lean protein as possible.
Carbohydrates naturally contain fiber, sugars, vitamins, and many minerals. Although some of these are not particularly useful for weight loss, it doesn't mean you should completely eliminate them from your diet. Instead, you should focus on eating minimally-processed carbohydrates, such as multi-grain bread, oatmeals, whole grain pasta and similar. A good source of carbohydrate is also rice. Vegetables rich in good carbohydrates are chickpeas and lentils. If you don't know how to incorporate more chickpeas and lentils in your meals, we suggest making your salads richer by adding these ingredients.
GI or glycemic index indicates the speed required to a carbohydrate food to be broken down and absorbed by your body. A high GI suggests that food will be rapidly broken down and absorbed, leaving you hungry and lacking energy. Junk food and sweets have a high GI and that is why you feel cravings shortly after consuming them. Foods lows in GI are bread, biscuits, fruit, vegetables, and some snacks. Eating smaller portions of food, but more often during the day is crucial for receiving enough energy to ride and work around horses. If you fuel yourself with high glycemic index foods, your energy levels will fluctuate significantly during the day. On the flip side, having a balanced diet will ensure you have enough energy during the day at always perform at your best capacity. By taking care of your diet and nutrition, you are not only helping yourself but also your horse. Having normal weight and being physically strong enough to coordinate your horse properly is very important for winning racing and being successful in horse racing sports.

Review "Apollo 13: 15th Anniversary Ed"
Reviews for "Apollo 13: 15th Anniversary Ed"


The following article appeared in the December 2017 of NSCP's Currents Newsletter. It was written by ACA's Michael Abbriano.
Since the first wrap fee program was launched in 1975, their popularity has grown exponentially, with more than $3.5 trillion in assets under management as of 2013.1 In its 2014 Examination Priorities, the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations ("OCIE") announced an initiative focused on wrap fee programs, and wrap fee programs have been referenced specifically in OCIE's Examination Priorities in each subsequent year.
Because wrap fee programs are primarily marketed to retail investors (including to individuals who are investing retirement assets) and have the potential to raise numerous potential conflicts of interest, these programs historically have been subject to significant regulatory scrutiny. After several years of focusing more on private funds following the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010, regulatory scrutiny on wrap fee programs has re-intensified. This article will provide an overview of how wrap fee programs operate as well as practical guidance for advisers to address certain aspects of wrap fee programs that have been a focus of the SEC in recent years.

Your Noon Briefing: Voluntary redundancies being sought at the Record, STV's financial results, etc
THE Daily Record and Sunday Mail newspapers are seeking applications for voluntary redundancy – on 'enhanced terms'.
Confirmed a spokesperson at publishers, Media Scotland (a division of Trinity Mirror): "Media Scotland has the country's biggest combined print and digital audience.
"While print circulations and advertising revenues are declining, we are seeing positive growth in digital. We need to restructure our business so we can invest and take advantage of that growth.
"I am keen to ensure this is done in the most open way possible so we are announcing a voluntary severance scheme which will allow those who wish to apply the opportunity to request to leave their employment on enhanced terms."
There is no official word on numbers or types of posts that the newspapers might most want to dispense with.
It is understood Media Scotland manager director, Allan Rennie, is to address staff at 2pm today, and there is to be a NUJ chapel meeting tomorrow at 3pm.
Update: Among the subsequent coverage is an article on holdthefrontpage.co.uk.
STV has posted a nine per cent increase in its revenue and a 21 per cent fall in its net debt.
Says the Glasgow-based broadcaster this morning, in its financial results for last year, revenue was up from £102.7 million in 2012 to £112.1 million last year. Over the same period, net debt fell from £45.3 million to £35.7 million.
And as speculated at the weekend, a dividend was being issued for the first time in several years.
Read more here. And also here, about a new commission received by STV's production arm, to part-make 25 episodes of a new quiz show, The Link, for BBC One.
A LECTURE on why we might need religious TV and radio programmes is being given in Edinburgh by the head of religion and ethics at the BBC, Professor Aaqil Ahmed.
It is taking place at the University of Edinburgh on the tenth of next month.
Says some promotional information: "Professor Aaqil Ahmed has had over a decade at Channel 4 and the BBC deciding what people watch when it comes to Religion on the box including the acclaimed series 'The Life of Muhammad' (2011), and 'The Ottomans: Europe's Muslim Emperors' (2013), and will set out why he feels religion on TV is more important today than it ever has been."

A PHOTOGRAPHY competition about football matches involving the Scotland men's team has seen a Glasgow-based photographer take two of the three prizes on offer.
The competition – backed by car manufacturers, Vauxhall, which sponsors each of the four 'home' nations – saw Sammy Turner, of Glasgow 'visual communications agency', SNS Group, win the Best Individual Photo category plus the inaugural Scotland Supporter Photo of the Year award.
The main prize – Vauxhall Scotland Photographer of the Year 2013 went to North-east of England-based Lee Smith, of Action Images.
THE 'veteran' football broadcaster and pundit, Archie Macpherson, is launching his first novel – according to an interview in today's Herald, here.
NEARLY three-fifths of Twitter's 15 million UK users are said to follow at least one national newspaper brand or journalist and are twice as likely to tweet as those who don't, according to new research – reported in The Guardian, here.
THE Daily Record last night ambitiously streamed on its website the away friendly football international between Poland's men and Scotland's – which ended 1-0 for Scotland.
And Aidan Smith, in The Scotsman, today reviews how it went – including, unfortunately, initial screen freezes.
And Richard Rooney – in The Courier, here – is no kinder in his verdict.
A NEW website is reportedly to be designed for NHS Borders, by Glasgow-based digital agency, Dog Digital – says The Drum marketing and media magazine.
BBC Scotland's former HQ at Queen Margaret Drive, in Glasgow, is set to be 'transformed into bespoke homes' – says an advertising feature in today's Herald.

Since you create and manage your reports online, it doesn't matter what device you use. Modern web pivot tables work on all devices and all platforms. You can be sure you will be able to access your reports whether you work on a PC, laptop or a smartphone, regardless of the operating system you use.
It also makes it easier to integrate them into your solutions. Now, in the time of cross-platform applications, using web pivot tables ensures that your end users will be able to enjoy the full functionality of your application on every platform.
Using web tools allows you to work with your reports from anywhere in the world, provided that there is Internet access and a device to work on. It lifts the boundaries on where your end users can work and increases their mobility. They no longer need to be physically present at the company's premises to attend to urgent matters. It also bolsters the decision-making process, as employees don't need waste time on traveling to the office, which can be critical in situations when a decision has to be made promptly.
In our day and age, when a lot of companies choose to hire distant employees and work with off-site subcontractors, teams scattered all over the world have to figure out how to work in sync and make sure they are always on the same page when dealing with the company's business data.
Web-based pivot tables provide a great tool for people to collaborate on their pivot table reports online and eliminate the necessity to email files back and forth obliterating the inboxes and often leading to confusion and different people working on different versions of the report.
Web pivot table solutions do not require installation and rarely have any specific system requirements for the end users' software or hardware. They clearly show the OLAP data structure. Most of reports can be created just by simple dragging and dropping of elements into the pivot table area due to the Dynamic Pivot Table control in Ranet OLAP. As a result, there is hardly any need (or not at all) to involve the IT department.
All these reasons and many others have made web-based pivot tables a popular choice of tool companies use for ad hoc data analysis and reporting.

Letters for October 19, 2006
Reviewer missed the theme
Re "Death has no mercy" (Theater, Oct. 5):
I am writing in response to Ms. Waples negative review of Nevada Repertory Company's The Lady From Dubuque. It's obvious that Ms. Waples missed the point of this interesting play by Edward Albee. The play is about dying. It's about the main character (Jo) coming to terms with her own impending death. It's about her husband (Sam) accepting her death, as well. It's about how the other two couples, self-centered as they are (except perhaps for Carol), respond to her terminal illness. (Who needs friends like that?!) Oscar and Elizabeth aren't just "Death" coming for Jo. They're "Angels" coming to make the dying more bearable. The game Twenty Questions at the beginning of the first act poses the question "Who Am I?" over and over again. Toward the end of the second act, Elizabeth (one of the Angels) stresses that "Who Am I?" is the most important question a person should try to answer in life. The play dramatizes the importance of honesty, self-knowledge, and, shedding what's false (even friendships) in our lives before our own inevitable demise. I agree with Ms. Waples that some of the actors were better than others, but unlike her, I enjoyed the play a lot and highly recommend it.

Gibbons can't make the grade
U.S. Rep. Jim Gibbons recently earned a disappointing 0 percent for his anti-environment votes in the first session of the 109th Congress, as listed in the League of Conservation Voters' 2005 National Environmental Scorecard. Published by LCV every Congress since 1970, the Scorecard evaluates the environmental performance of every representative and Senator. We deserve a representative who will consistently put our interest in a clean and healthy environment first. When it comes to protecting our air, water and natural heritage from corporate polluters and developing a forward thinking energy policy, Gibbons' LCV score shows that he gets a failing grade.

Carter nostalgia
Re "Jimmy Carter returns" and "The last Christian president" (News and View from the Fray, Oct. 5):
Memories are wonderful things. We forget the bad, and the past is marvelous. The RN&R recently paid tribute to former President Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party through various articles. I appreciate Mr. Carter. He is a good man! His presidency had numerous flaws, however, which is why he lost. Double- digit inflation and unemployment, which even the Democrat-controlled Congress couldn't put back together again. Then the hostage crisis, which further stained his legacy. I suspect the Dems were going through a type of hangover after getting rid of the evil Nixon and pulling us out of the Vietnam War. They didn't realize there was still a country to run. Even Edward Kennedy was emboldened to try for the presidency in 1980.
Though I've never met him, I'm sure that Jack Carter is also a good man. But then, so is John Ensign, and he now has seniority for the state. There is another senatorial race coming up soon. Perhaps Jack can run then.
Bill Thibault
Eternal vigilance to protect rights
The threat is real. A recent Chicago Tribune article, "Abortion foes' new rallying point" by Judith Graham, illustrates the reality of the threats to birth-control access in the United States.
In attempt to outlaw birth control, 250 people gathered, and 'experts' claimed that, "contraception devalues children, harms relationships between men and women, promotes sexual promiscuity and leads to falling birth rates, among social ills."
If we don't vote for candidates who stand strong on choice issues, reproductive and sexual health, education and family planning in the United States will take a step backward.
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rates of the developed nations. In 2000, Nevada had the fourth-highest teenage pregnancy rate in the nation; through sex education and access to birth control, it has dropped to 12th. We must further this trend.
The General Election on Nov. 7, 2006, is fast approaching, and I can only hope that voters show up to the polls this year, educated on their politicians' stance on choice.
Voting is our voice. Our demands of access to birth control, family planning and education need to be heard loud and clear on Nov. 7. Vote for reproductive freedom. Keep personal decisions out of the hands of politicians.

Derby campaign response
Re "Elect Dean Heller" (Editorial, Oct. 12):
In the Reno News & Review's endorsement for the Second Congressional seat, the editors call the current political system dismaying. That's an appropriate term to apply to the RN&R's uninformed endorsement of Dean Heller.
The RN&R apparently hasn't been paying attention to this race, or they wouldn't have used terms like "moderate" and "true to himself" to describe Heller. Is it the "moderate" position to support staying the course in Iraq even if it means keeping our troops there for another decade? Is it "moderate" to suggest that Senators opposing the President's torture plan are "more interested in protecting the terrorists"? Is it "moderate" to support privatization of Social Security? Those are Heller's positions. Come to think of it, did the RN&R miss Erin Neff's column describing Heller's veer to the right since the primary?
The RN&R also must have missed the flurry of attack ads that Heller has launched against Jill Derby in the past few weeks. Attack ads that have been labeled false, misleading, and downright silly by an independent news source? Is that Heller being true to himself? No, that's politics as usual and the RN&R should know better.
The RN&R apparently doesn't like Jill Derby because she doesn't fit their narrow stereotype of a Democrat. That's the whole point of her campaign against career politicians and politics as usual. Jill isn't a stereotypical Democrat, but a common sense Nevadan who will do what's right for the people she represents and not just be another party vote. She doesn't think either party has a monopoly on good ideas and is committed to working across party lines to change tax and healthcare policy to benefit everyone, not just the rich and not just the poor. The RN&R seems to understand Heller's double talk better than the straight talk Jill offers.
The RN&R talks about the "continued screwing of the working people by a majority of Republicans and conservative Democrats" if people like Jill are elected. What does the RN&R think Congress is doing now? Advocating for working people? Hardly. The current leadership–which Heller repeatedly says he will stand behind–has cut veterans benefits, dramatically increased interest rates for student loans, and given billions to their pals in the oil industry. If that's the definition of looking out for working people, it makes you wonder how bad things have to get before the RNR thinks it's time for a change.
Jill makes no secret of her party, her service on the Board of Regents, or her doctoral degree in cultural anthropology with a focus on Middle Eastern cultures. She talks about all of these in her ads, on her website, and at the many candidate forums, house parties, and community events she attends. If the RN&R editors had bothered to get out to see the campaign first hand, turn on their televisions, or simply pick up the phone for an interview, they would know that.
This editorial demonstrates that the RN&R relies on old news stories and the view from their offices to make endorsements. It's not like the RN&R bothered to interview Jill or ask tough questions of the candidates to make an informed choice. Thankfully, the voters will.
Campaign Manager, Jill Derby for Congress
Editor's note: There are a good many candidates who would prefer that journalists pay attention to what is said in a campaign rather than how they behaved in previous offices—their record. Those who want to predict how a newspaper will endorse candidates need to look beyond party affiliation and toward whether the candidate honored open-meeting laws and supported transparency in government.
Love, hate, or indifference—readers express their opinions—sometimes about each other.

To reason logically is so to link one's propositions that each should contain the reason for the one succeeding it, and should itself be demonstrated by the one preceding it. Or at any rate, whatever the order adopted in the construction of one's own exposition, it is to demonstrate judgments by each other.
If people want capital gains taxed more like the highest rate on income, that's a good discussion. Maybe that's the way to help close the deficit.

Slip of the Tongue Temporarily Derails Ghislaine Maxwell Trial
By Dave Paone
Dave Paone
Dave Paone covers New York City.
December 5, 2021 Updated: December 9, 2021
NEW YORK—In an effort to protect the anonymity of the alleged victims in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking trial, Judge Alison Nathan instructed the lawyers and witnesses to refer to them either solely by their first names or a made-up one.
Earlier this week, one such witness was "Jane," and any evidence with her actual name on it was submitted under seal. The public wasn't told her name.
That all changed on Dec. 3, when defense attorney Jeffrey Pagliuca accidentally said a woman's first name when referring to Jane.
Pagliuca caught his mistake immediately, but the damage had been done.
"You are admonished to abide by my rules," Nathan told Pagliuca, and then she called a sidebar.
Pagliuca had said just moments before that her name had been blacked out on the documents from which he was reading.
The error occurred about a half-hour into the day. Prior to this, Pagliuca was cross-examining Juan P. Alessi, who managed the blue-collar workers at Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach estate.
On Dec. 2, Alessi testified that he had returned to Epstein's house after his employment had ended, snuck in, and stole $6,300 in cash, citing "financial and marital problems."
He claimed he was confronted by Epstein, who called it a "loan," and Alessi paid it back.
Alessi also claims he went to the police regarding the matter on his own, and Epstein didn't file charges.
Under cross, Pagliuca reminded Alessi that the day before, he had said, "I will tell the truth," referring to details of the incident.
"But you didn't tell the truth yesterday, did you, Mr. Alessi?" Pagliuca asked.
He went on to claim Alessi actually entered the house on another occasion, looking for a gun, but stole $1,900 instead.
"Not true," said Alessi.

Pagliuca read excerpts from a police transcript in which Alessi spoke about both robberies. Alessi didn't recall giving the deposition, but verified his signature on it.
On Dec. 2, Alessi testified he met Jane in 1994.
However, Pagliuca read from another deposition, taken when Alessi met with Virginia Roberts, another alleged victim, and her lawyer. In it, Alessi stated he met Jane in 1999 or 2000.
Alessi said he may have confused Jane and another girl.
Pagliuca referred to a third deposition, from 2016, when a lawyer for Jane contacted Alessi in July 2020.
Referring to the document, Pagliuca asked, "Do you remember you made a sworn statement?" to which Alessi replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."
However, once again he confirmed it was his signature.
Pagliuca continued to read excerpts from the depositions that contradicted Alessi's previous testimony.
Alessi agreed when Pagliuca stated that no massage therapists ever performed a massage on Epstein against their will, there were never any signs of distress, and they left after they were paid. When asked if the massage therapists were of legal age, Alessi replied, "I believe so."
U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey called the prosecution's next witness, Gregory Parkinson, a retired crime scene manager and police officer for Palm Beach.

Parkinson testified he had been at Epstein's house twice: once in 2003 for one of Alessi's thefts, and again in 2005, when a search warrant was executed for the estate.
At the end of the search, evidence was brought back to the Palm Beach Police Department headquarters and then transferred to the FBI in 2006.
As part of the search warrant's execution, Parkinson shot video footage of the interior of the house. The 39-minute video was viewed in court by Parkinson and the jury, but not the public.
Parkinson pointed out that there was one photo on the wall of Epstein and Fidel Castro, and another one of Epstein and Pope John Paul II. He gave details of each room he viewed in the video, as well as from still photos.
A physical piece of evidence, a massage table taken in the search, was presented to the jury. Parkinson viewed several photos of photos from the house, which were submitted under seal.
Defense attorney Christian Everdell cross-examined Parkinson.
Parkinson confirmed the first time he was at the Epstein house was in 2003 and the second time in 2005.
Everdell contended that with all the time that passed between 1994 (when the sexual abuse of Jane is purported to have begun) and 2005 (when the video and photographs were taken) that Parkinson can have no knowledge of what the house actually looked like in 1994.
"I have no way of knowing that," Parkinson said.
Additionally, when Parkinson was at the house in 2003, he saw blueprints and material swatches, either for carpets or drapes, giving him reason to believe the house was going to be renovated soon after.
Everdell said the "bottom line" is there is no way to know what the house looked like 11 years prior.
The final witness for the week was Sgt. Michael Dawson, a detective in the Palm Beach Police Department. Dawson was part of the Oct. 20, 2005, search, but wasn't part of Parkinson's team.
He testified that he found monitors and keyboards without towers, phone message books (which were discussed in Alessi's testimony on Dec. 2), two massage tables, photos of nude females, and two "Twin Torpedo" sex toys.
Comey provided Dawson with three message books, but he couldn't say with complete confidence that they were the ones he seized.
On cross, Everdell asked Dawson if he was involved with Alessi's burglaries. He answered, "I don't recall."
Dawson was provided a document that confirmed he was.
Dawson's testimony contradicted Alessi's, where Alessi said he went to the police on his own. According to Dawson, they went looking for him and found him first. Dawson also confirmed Alessi stole cash twice.
Cross-examination was to continue on Dec. 6.
The first week of the trial ended with the prosecution calling its first nine witnesses. Only Jane's had the potential to cause damage to Maxwell, although none of the damaging parts have yet been corroborated by an eyewitness.


Research by yourparkingspace.co.uk has revealed that up to 12 million people in the UK have seen or been involved in parking disputes.
Parking arguments often escalate from verbal exchanges, with nearly four million people in the UK having been threatened with physical violence.
Harrison Woods, managing director at the online parking portal, said: "Our survey shows that UK motorists are at each other's throats, more often than not because of a lack of car parking spaces.
Of those surveyed, one-in-four said they had been involved in or witnessed an argument about car parking, while almost one-in-ten had been threatened with physical violence.
More than one-in-ten Brits also knew of someone else who had come close to being punched over a parking quarrel.
The survey also revealed that stress levels have reached boiling point for almost one-in-five due to a lack of parking spaces, shortly followed by expensive car park charges, people who park in incorrect spaces and motorists who take up too much space.
Give yourself time. Allowing an extra few minutes means you won't be rushing around looking for a parking space if you are running late.
Use technology. Many modern cars boast sophisticated self-parking systems.
Think of your fellow motorists. Leaving enough space when parking your car is a common courtesy to other road users and will also make it easier for you to manoeuvre out of the space.
Pre-book parking space. Online services list thousands of driveways, garages and empty spaces across the UK which are often close to town and city centres, local amenities and transport hubs.
Face facts. Sometimes the ideal or closest parking space might be taken although there are plenty of nearby alternatives. If that's the case then just grin and bear it. After all, a few minutes' walk is some extra exercise.
I'm not surprised to read this as it symptomatic of many aspects of modern life. Nobody has any time and everyone is so busy and full of their own self importance. We're all in the same boat so just give each other a little bit of space. Try visiting a retail park or shopping centre a week before Christmas to experience the compliments of the season!
