The higher court has confirmed the lower court's decision to keep Kocharyan aide and former secretary of Security Council Armen Grigoryan out of jail for now. He is charged with aiding Kocharyan in breaking the Constitutional order, corruption, property embezzlement.
The defense had also asked the higher court to throw away the prosecutor's arguments of probable cause, but the court rejected the defense's request, finding the prosecutor's information to be credible.
Yerevan mayor Hayk Marutyan has announced that employees of all preschools in Yerevan will see their salaries rise 20%, around this April. This won't apply to directors and deputy directors. The municipality will dedicate 1bln funds for the rise.
The average preschool salary at the moment is 70-100k.

Yerevan municipality will dedicate 500mln for a new initiative, in which the city residents can contact the mayor's office with various project ideas for the city. The ideas that gather the most support from other residents will be reviewed. An online platform will be created soon to submit the requests, in addition to mail requests.
This was one of mayor Hayk Marutyan's promises while he was running for mayor.
The city continues to find and stop illegal building constructions. Last week, 10 were caught and 3 were destroyed.
The government plans to pass a new law that will prevent the ability to legalize the buildings that were developed illegally. This will discourage people from thinking they can secretly build now, then use loopholes to legalize later.
The city is working with the police to increase the enforcement of smoking restriction laws for transport drivers.
21 cases of illegal product sales on the streets were prevented last week.

QP has called the IRS chief to Parliament to testify about the bonus salaries paid by the IRS. The IRS chief says his IRS salaries, bonuses and other payments, as regulated by law, have totaled to 18.5mln for the year 2018.
The MPs have spoke about the possibility of passing a law to make the bonus payment info more available to the public, and to improve the communication with IRS.
QP's Lilit Makunts says they are open to legally addressing the concerns around the laws that allow the officials to earn what some in public may view as too much, while at the same time not discouraging smart and professional workers from leaving the government positions to seek private jobs, where they can earn even more. Makunts says "a golden average" should be found.
QP plans to call other public officials to seek similar testimonies.
Some math. The IRS chief earns 12x of the average salary.
To put it into perspective, if Armenia was United States and we calculate the IRS chief's salary versus average salary in Armenia, then compare it to US, the Armenian IRS chief would earn $520,000/yr in United States (including bonuses), which is probably slightly higher than what the actual US IRS chief earns now.
Either our IRS chief earns too much, or he doesn't earn too much for the job title but the average citizen earns too little.
During the salary bonus debate, the Yerevan administration has examined the 2017 bonuses, and discovered that the former mayor HHK Taron Margaryan's office did not publish the info of 287 million that was paid in bonuses throughout the year, in addition to the year-end bonuses.
The documents that were uploaded to the website, that were supposed to show the bonuses, were unrelated and did not contain the necessary information. This was done on purpose because the unrelated documents were uploaded under the document ID which was dedicated specifically for disclosing bonus payments, says mayor's office.
They plan to examine bonus sums for the years prior to 2017.

PM Pashinyan gave an interview to Russian RBK news
during which he stated that Armenia is very much interested in playing a role of a transit country for oil and gas transfers between other countries.
PM says they have agreed with GazProm-Armenia not to raise gas prices for residents for the year 2019. He hopes to extend it further, or to reduce the gas delivery prices beginning next year.
One of the Davos meetings was with Marriot Hotels representatives. Pashinyan says they have agreed to negotiate around building a new hotel near the Iran-Armenia border. Marriott will rent the land and the building, once a construction company finishes the building project, which will be negotiated separately, because Marriott itself doesn't do the construction of their hotels.
The PM was asked if anyone has tried to bribe him so far.
He recalled one incident in which a businessman tried to enter his office with money and a business plan. The security guards were told to prevent the businessman from entering his office with money again.
This was immediately after a meeting he convened with businesses and investors, during which he encouraged more investments with no fear of illegal oligarchic takeover.
Johannes Hahn, the chairman of European Neighborhood Policy & Enlargement Negotiations, says the EU is aware of the improvements in the investment atmosphere in Armenia. This was discussed during the latest visit in Yerevan, during which they spoke about the possible formation of a new investment committee which will encourage EU countries on invest in Armenia.
Hahn says the EU will certainly increase its aid to Armenia after the major reforms and improvements that begun last year.
He says the EU is open to reform its visa regime with Armenia.

The government will begin to use digital paper instead of paper for some work, to save the nature and to cut printing related costs, says PM's office. The PM's office alone spends 1.5mln per month on paperwork. Other departments could join later.

Last year, an Armenian company and Russian Kalashnikov military manufacturer announced a plan to produce AK rifles in Armenia.
Kalashnikov CEO says the process continues; they have finished examining the legal part around the CSTO military agreement.
Special Investigation Service (SIS) has denied the rumors by Jamanak paper that former HHK MP Gevorg Kostanyan has been interviewed for a job as the Deputy Chief of SIS.

Jihadists Recruit Women for Frontline Terrorist Attacks
By Fiona Keating
A video showing women in burqas at a weapons training camp in Pakistan is believed to be part of a recruitment drive by militant groups to attract women to play a more active part in 'global jihad'.
The 60-second video clip was sent to the Sunday Times and shows five women being trained to use AK-47 assault weapons and fire rocket-propelled grenades.
The setting for the footage is believed to be in the Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan, which has become a safe haven for the Pakistani Taliban, Al-Qaida and other militant groups.
A pale blue flag with a white crescent indicates the women belong to the Turkistan Islamic party, a terrorist group thought to have links to the Pakistan Taliban.
The burqa-clad women seemed to be in the early stage of their training, said security officials.
In April, the same group released a similar video of boys, some as young as six, being trained to fire handguns.
The Site Intelligence Group - Search for International Terrorist Entities - has received similar video. "The overarching message in the video was 'here are women fighting, where are you men?'" Adam Raisman, a Site analyst told the Sunday Times.
"It was a way to emasculate those Muslim men who do not participate in jihad," he added.
The portrayal of women in an active combat role could mark a shift in Jihadist propaganda, says Bill Roggio, a terrorism expert at the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies, a US think tank.
In Quetta, Pakistan, a female suicide bomber detonated a device last month on a bus, killing 14 female students.
The sectarian extremist group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), which has known links with al-Qaida, claimed credit for the attack.
"We know they run suicide training camps for women and children," said Roggio. "There have been six or seven suicide attacks in the Afghan-Pakistan region since 2010. Prior to that there were none."
The Tehrik-e-Taliban, LeJ and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan have used female bombers on six other occasions since December 2010 to hit targets in Pakistan.
They have established training camps in Waziristan that are used to indoctrinate and train female bombers.
Qari Ziaur Rahman, the Taliban and al-Qaida leader who operates from Pakistan's tribal agencies of Mohmand and Bajaur and in the Afghan provinces, is known to run most of the training camps for suicide bombers.

It's easy to get caught up in cooking the turkey and all of your family's favorite sides, but you should never forget about dessert. However, if dessert has already slipped your mind this Thanksgiving, this old-fashioned apple crisp recipe is guaranteed to steal the show.
Nothing says "fall" like the taste of fresh apples. This mouthwatering recipe uses fresh McIntosh or Macoun apples to make a flavorful and sweet fall treat that will have your friends and family begging for the recipe.
Butter a 9-inch by 14-inch by 2-inch oval baking dish.
Peel, core and slice the apples into large wedges.
Place the apples in a large bowl and combine them with the juices, sugar, spices and zests. Pour the entire combination in the baking dish.
For the topping, combine the sugars, flour, salt, cold butter and oatmeal in the bowl of an electric mixer. Use the paddle attachment to mix the ingredients together on low speed. Continue mixing until the mixture is crumbly.
Scatter the entire mixture on top of the apple base.
Place the baking pan on top of a sheet pan and bake it for about 1 hour or until the top has browned and the fruit is bubbly.

With the completion of a pilot project in March to identify polluting wastewater outlets along the Yangtze River, the country's top environmental watchdog is turning full-bore to satellite remote sensing and unmanned aerial and surface vehicles as it expands the process to the river's major tributaries.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will undertake a comprehensive investigation of wastewater outlets covering nine tributaries, including the Minjiang, Chishui and Ganjiang rivers, over the next two years, in addition to its further investigations of the main channel of the Yangtze and Taihu Lake.
Yang Haijun, an expert in the ministry's satellite environment center, said satellite remote sensing helps in defining the area for the investigation because of its capacity to see the distribution of population and enterprises.
Before the pilot program in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, for example, satellite remote sensing and unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with infrared imagers were sent to find suspected outlets.
Guo Qingwei, an expert at the ministry's South China Institute of Environmental Sciences, said field investigations are needed to discover outlets on the surface where there is no temperature difference, and sonar can be used to find underwater ones.
"The trial found at least 10 underwater outlets, though many of them are not currently in use," Guo said.
Gong Xianjun, an official with the ministry's law enforcement bureau, said one of the key tasks for the pilot projects in Chongqing and Jiangsu is to train environmental officers.
"As new technologies emerge, our officers need to learn about these technologies and know how to handle them before they are put into wider application," he said.
After the comprehensive two-year investigation along the Yangtze and its tributaries, the ministry will monitor the outlets before it traces pollution to its sources and moves to control it.
The government has emphasized protection of the Yangtze since early 2016, when President Xi Jinping urged the 11 provincial regions along the river to concentrate on ecological restoration and protection and to avoid large-scale development.

Diesel 10 feels a bit sheepish for letting Mr. Conductor escape. Although he tells Splatter and Dodge that he was testing him to see if he could escape, but they don't buy it. So he thinks it's time for another lesson he calls, "How to Stop Being Stupid", & ends up covered in coal. James, Henry & Gordon find this most amusing.

You are currently browsing the sitemap tag archives.
I just finished hacking up a plugin for my website here. With over 60 pages nested in levels and sub-levels, I've been worried that visitors won't always know where they are on the site or what else is available.
So, that sort of indicates where you are relative to the top but still doesn't show whate else is around. I've had a drop-down menu thing going on almost since the start, and it does show all the different pages, but it's organized in hierarchical levels and you would really have to be hunting in order to find things. If you don't mouse-over everything, you'll miss stuff.
What I really needed was a site-map, and to put a link to it on the top menu bar so it couldn't be missed.


The Watershed show opening for Cheap Trick at the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach, S.C. last week went great, there'll be various blogs about different aspects of the trip over the next coupla weeks, here's the first installment.
Ricki C. - Classic merch moment: At a bar adjacent to the Myrtle Beach House of Blues where we're all kicking back after the show, Watershed drummer Dave Masica walks up to me with a "Why Isn't Cheap Trick in the Rock & Hall of Fame" t-shirt draped over his shoulder. He pulls it off, hands it to me and says, "That guy over there wants to buy this, but I didn't know what to tell him, or how much they cost. I told him to talk to you."
Later that night, at yet another bar, Colin asks me if I picked up his WICTITR&RHOF shirt from the dressing room and I realize that I have unwittingly sold the sweaty, crummy t-shirt Colin had been wearing most of that day to some unsuspecting Rick Nielsen fan, who thought he was getting high-quality Cheap Trick merch. Ooops. Open message to random drunk Myrtle Beach guy: I'll make it up to you someday down the road.
Colin G. - So after we finished our set opening for Cheap Trick, I fight my way through the crowd to head out by the merch table because sometimes it helps to sell stuff if a band member is there bullshitting. Ricki C. uses this opportunity to jam me there alone while making sure Biggie didn't need help backstage. I suspect he was going to the dressing room to make a peanut butter sandwich, but I can't prove it.
Anyway, it's kinda slow because people are waiting for Trick to come on, but one middle-aged woman is slowing picking up Watershed CDs and very thoroughly looking them over. Eventually she looks up at me and asks, "Which one has all the songs I know on it?"
"Which one of these CDs has the songs I know on it?"
This was a tricky question. See, with a band of our stature people usually know all of our songs or, as is much more likely, none of our songs. Thankfully, she could see I was struggling and added, "What's that one…..'I Want You to Want Me.'"
"Oh, that is a Cheap Trick song. That CD you are holding says Watershed on it. See right there? (I pointed to the big word Watershed on the front cover.) That means it's a Watershed CD, not a Cheap Trick CD."
"So you aren't in Cheap Trick?"
"Do you have any Cheap Trick CDs to sell?"
Colin G. - So now I am standing at the merch table with Ricki, Dave and Joe after Cheap Trick is done and it is mayhem. People are stacked three deep buying CDs, books, T-shirts, etc. and being good rock soldiers we are chatting with folks, offering to sign stuff and all that.
A woman leans forward and says loudly above the din of post show chaos, "Do you know who Richard Petty is?"
"Excuse me?" I said, not quite sure I was hearing her right.
"I said, DO YOU KNOW WHO RICHARD PETTY IS???" This time she said it quite loudly and seemed a little upset.
"Uh, like Richard Petty the race car driver?" was my unsure reply, spoken like a clueless Yankee.
"Yes, that one. You know, he told his sons that if they ever wanted to be famous they needed to write their names legibly so people can read them."
"You want me to sign my name more like Richard Petty's sons?"
"You already signed but I can barely read it. And you never even asked my name."
I mounted a weak defense: "Well, at least we are out here signing and being friendly. Doesn't that count for something? Besides, see that guy right there, he is an author and is really smart, I bet he will ask your name."
"Well, if you want to be famous and get on TV you better learn to write your autograph better, like Richard Petty's kids do."
Right then Joe O. leaned in and asked who he should sign this book to.
"Ha! Told you he would ask," I said, triumphant at the end.

London embassy protesters demand sharia law amid continuing chaos in Egypt
Fév 07, 20110
– Hundreds protest outside Egyptian embassy in central London
– UK government complains to Egypt over text messages seen to instigate violence
– Britons fleeing violence tell of machete-wielding vigilantes and escaped prisoners roaming 'war zone'
Protesters waving placards calling for Islamic law to be imposed in Egypt have demonstrated outside the country's embassy in London.
For several days, a peaceful protest has seen hundreds of ex-patriots and supporters of regime change mass outside the embassy in the centre of the capital.
Today, brandishing signs such as 'democracy will bring oppression' and 'Islam is the solution for Egypt', women in burkas were joined by men in traditional dress for a rally calling for sharia law to be imposed.
Demands: Black-clad women carry anti-democracy posters as part of the demonstration outside the Egyptian Embassy in London
Passion: Anti-Government protesters chant in the central London demonstration
Behind barricades, holding flags aloft, they faced a line of uniformed police in the quiet streets of central London, far from the chaos of Tahrir – Liberation – Square in Cairo.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'There are approximately 300 people there, all cooperative and good-natured.'
The demonstrations – in varying numbers – have been going on for several days, as crisis has engulfed Egypt and claimed the scalp of President Hosni Mubarak.
The previously peaceful protests in Cairo turned violent once the long-time head of state announced his intention to stand down at the next election, with his supporters clashing with those who want the 82-year-old to step aside immediately.
Many waved banners declaring 'Now!' – a reference to their demand for President Mubarak to go immediately, and not linger for months as he insists he must to ensure a peaceful transition.
Fervour: Pro-Islamic supporters demonstrate outside the Embassy in London as crisis engulfs Egypt
Families with children joined the trek to Tahrir Square, despite fears about stone-wielding Mubarak supporters determined to respond to the continuing popular uprising against him.
The 82-year-old president himself has insisted he will serve out the remaining seven months of his term to ensure a stable process.
'You don't understand the Egyptian culture and what would happen if I step down now,' Mubarak said he told President Barack Obama. He warned in an interview with ABC News that chaos would ensue.
The upsurge in violence led Europe's leaders to deliver a warning to the Egyptian authorities today to answer their people with 'political reform, not repression'.
The statement agreed at a Brussels EU summit stopped short of calling on President Hosni Mubarak to step aside.
Instead it challenged the regime to honour the terms of a £150 million-a-year EU 'Association Agreement', under which Egypt is committed to push through political and economic reforms in return for trade concessions and financial aid.
Fervour: Women call for Islamic law to be introduced in Egypt in the wake of the departure of President Hosni Mubarak
The EU statement came as Barack Obama's administration said it was in talks with Egyptian officials about the possibility of Mubarak resigning straight away, and the formation of an interim government before free and fair elections later this year.
The text urged the Egyptian authorities 'to meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people with political reform, not repression'.
It said: 'All parties should show restraint and avoid further violence and begin an orderly transition to a broad-based government.
'The European Council underlined that this transition process must start now.'
The UK government has complained to Egypt after Vodafone Group Plc was ordered to send text messages seen to instigate violence as demonstrators demanded the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.
Britain's Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt contacted the Egyptian ambassador in London to discuss the order to Vodafone after the company reached out to the government, the Foreign Office said last night.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague yesterday issued a statement calling the 'abuse' of Internet and mobile-phone networks 'unacceptable and disturbing'.
Call: The London demonstrators call for the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
Britons fleeing the violence on a Foreign Office-chartered flight told of the chaos in the country.
Shukria Ahmed-Nur, 16, told how marauding thugs terrorised the streets near where she lived.
She said: 'There were men with samurai swords, machetes and other weapons.
'They were outside our apartments, walking up and down the stairs, which was really scary.
'We were just hoping we would get out alive.'
Mother-of-two Jala Ibrahim, 33, from Fulham, west London, said: 'The country is in a really bad state at the moment. It's a bit like a war zone but the people are fighting for their rights.'
Stephanie Harkin, 25, a teacher from Luton, Bedfordshire, said: 'Our main problem was prisoners escaping from a nearby prison. We had a lot of men outside our house and so we had to create a makeshift neighbourhood watch.
'We had to sleep with knives by us as well. Across the road on the next compound there were reports that seven people had been killed and that neighbours had been attacked by thieves.'
The Committee to Protect Journalists, a New York-based media watchdog, said it had recorded 24 detentions of journalists, 21 assaults and five cases in which equipment was detained over a 24-hour period.
European leaders have urged Egyptian authorities to protect reporters covering the country's crisis.
The call came as a Swedish TV journalist was reported to be in a serious condition after being stabbed.

StyleChicago 2017. I think we can all agree – StyleChicago is many things! You hear people calling it: "Chicago Fashion Week" (emphasis on the quotes on the "week"), Style Chicago – The Art of Fashion Runway, or simply – The Art of Fashion. Either way you say it … it's the same. But! It's official and proper name is in fact: StyleChicago.com or StyleChicago.
This year's show featured 11 designers: ALYCE P, Elda De La Rosa, Gidi, Heidi Hess, J.TOOR, Julie Mersine, Lauren Lein, Leandro Mulet, Mark Roscoe, Peach Carr and SWABY.
ALYCE P started off the evening with her show-stopping, dazzling evening wear.
ALYCE P started off the evening with her show-stopping, dazzling evening wear. Can I just say: sparkle?! Sparkle is the word that comes to mind when I think back on ALYCE P's looks. My favorite look of the evening was a 1920's inspired silver-metallic fringe cocktail dress. The fringe was all silver beads, you guys – is what made the entire piece POP!
SWABY's collection was next down StyleChicago's runway. Noteworthy is how I'd describe the experience. I've never seen a designer place 3D detail on garments like this before.
I am in LOVE with the outfits that walked down the runway.
Gidi was third in line at StyleChicago's Runway Show this year. I have to tell you … I am in LOVE with the outfits that walked down the runway. They were right up my style's alley: professional-chic with a twist. This blue 2-piece number screamed "Alex Duffy of Duffy Dossier going to work." Blue is one of my favorite statement colors and the contrasting fabrics were on pointe.
Peach Carr was next. Favorite look of the night was this black and white sequin two-piece. I definitely would find an event with "black tie only" dress requirements JUST so I could wear this look … very Fran Drescher, too 😉 LOVE.
J.Toor was fifth down the runway.
J.Toor was fifth down the runway. First thing I noticed (no shame) were those good-looking models. DAYUM, can you please look into my eyes with that deep fashion-stare all day everyday!? Is there somewhere I can go where they can schedule me to do that!? J. Toor – TELL ME. Haha, I'm kidding (sorta …) but! What we really should be talking about is the bespoke brilliance that J.Toor sets forth. Chicago and world-renown, J. Toor's ready to wear mens line rocked!
Heidi Hess – also another Duffy Dossier pick of the evening.
Can you have three favorite children? Because Leandro Mulet was also a FAV of the evening. The texture and piecing-together of the fabrics on these were exceptional. The way the outfits laid on the models was divine. The asian-flair that was brought to this designer's fashion-table was also fabulous.
Elda De La Rosa and Mark Roscoe were the last two designers I captured.
Elda De La Rosa and Mark Roscoe were the last two designers I captured photos of … my feet started hurting standing up at the end of the runway and I needed to sit down! Sad face. Julie Mersine's looks were fantastic (and the only ones I didn't get shoes of) – she brought a real element of fierce to the runway.

중국과 타이완이 15일부터 지난 1949년 이후 처음으로 항공기와 해상 화물선의 직접 운항, 그리고 우편물의 직접 교류를 시작합니다.
지난 11월에 체결된 중국과 타이완간 교류 협정에 따라 양측은 화물 직항기와 양안간 직항 여객기를 정규적으로 운항하게 될 것입니다. 양안간 직항 여객기는 그 동안 주말과 주요 축하 행사 때만 운항되어 왔습니다.
중국과 타이완 선박들은 또한 거의 60년 만에 처음으로 15일 양안간 직행 취항에 들어갑니다.
양안 관계관들은 이들 직항로들은 양안간 관계를 증진시키고 중국 본토와 타이완 여행객들이나 업체들의 경비를 대폭 줄여줄 것이라고 말하고 있습니다.
양안간의 직접 교류는 타이완이 중국으로부터 분리했을 때인 지난 1949년 종식됐습니다.
China and Taiwan will begin direct air, sea and postal services Monday for the first time since 1949.
Under a November agreement, the two sides will launch a cargo charter flight service and regular passenger flights, which used to take off only on weekends and major festivals.
Ships from China and Taiwan also are to begin their first direct voyage to the opposite shore in nearly six decades on Monday.
Officials on both sides of the Taiwan Straits say the direct routes will improve relations and sharply cut costs for travelers and businesses on the Chinese mainland and self-ruled island of Taiwan.
Direct cross-straits travel ended when Taiwan split from China in 1949.


The new development will be located where the vacant golf course is now — the ponds are man-made.
With a new development of hundreds of homes in the middle of a floodplain underway in northwest Houston, Houston City Council kicked a plan to create a municipal utility district in that soon-to-be neighborhood up to Mayor Sylvester Turner Wednesday without any discussion.
Referring it to the Turner administration instead of voting on it will allow officials to further vet the project and make sure enough is being done to mitigate the risk of flooding — but at this point nothing is stopping the developers from building there. At a time when thousands of homeowners living in or near floodplains are inquiring about buyouts with city and county agencies, up to 800 homes are slated to be built on land that used to be the Pine Crest Golf Club — located in a 100-year floodplain in areas nearest the Brickhouse Gully, which runs through it. Southern and western areas of the block of land — whose boundaries are Clay, Gessner and Kemp Forest roads — are in a 500-year floodplain.
The Department of Public Works and Engineering has already approved permits for the development, and in fact officials and the developer, Meritage Homes, say there was an agreement to exceed the minimum required standards for building in a floodplain. But Turner said Wednesday he wanted Public Works to "take a second look."
"We can't do things the same way and expect a different result," Turner said.
"Even if my staff says we looked at it and we're fine, I got that, but in the post-Harvey era, when we are talking about building in the 100-year floodplain, what I have said previously is we can't do things the same way and expect a different result. I want to make sure this project has been thoroughly vetted, even if I'm being extra cautious on it."
The developers, MetroNational and Meritage Homes, purchased the land last year. Brent Anderson, spokesman for Meritage Homes, said the development will move forward whether or not the City of Houston gives a stamp of approval for the future neighborhood's new municipal utility district. He said that, knowing developers would be building in a floodplain, the type of extra precautions Turner described were taken from the start.
"We put the project together with the expertise and input of some of the best engineers and developers in the country, and so all of those considerations were taken into account even before Hurricane Harvey hit, and of course since then, understanding that there's a heightened sense of diligence that's to be expected on a development project that's that close to Houston central," Anderson said. "We fully intend to develop the community. It's a great location. It will be a great community for people who want to move into that area, really without a fear of being flooded."
Anderson said the primary flood-prevention mechanism will be elevating the homes so that they are built above the floodplain levels. According to correspondence between MetroNational and Council Member Brenda Stardig, who represents the district where the golf course is located, approval of the MUD would also allow for a detention pond 16 acre-feet more than what the city requires and a linear detention pond with trails for walking around — but MetroNational seemed to indicate that if the MUD isn't approved, these bonus items won't be possible.
Still, Matt Zeve, director of operations at the Harris County Flood Control District, said that even with the building elevations and drainage plans, there's still a risk of "overland sheetflow flooding during extreme rain events," which is when drainage gets overwhelmed and street flooding gets serious.
"The off-site sheetflow could still cause flooding problems, but it isn't considered in the analyses that have been completed," Zeve said in an email.
Public Works did not respond to a request before press time regarding what will be further vetted at the mayor's request.
Stardig said Mayor Turner did not agree to put the MUD creation item on the City Council agenda until developers had her support — which unfolded only over the past week, after developers agreed not to build multi-family dwellings rather than single-family.
That time crunch rubbed at least one council member, Mike Knox, the wrong way. Knox said that he and others were not even aware until this week about the plans to develop in the floodplain and the creation of the MUD. The problem, he said, was that the item moved across City Council's plate too quickly, leaving little to no room for residents near the development and especially downstream from it to voice their complaints before the vote.
"There are still questions about what this construction is going to do to the floodplain around the area, what impact it's going to have on surrounding communities," Knox said. "The communities surrounding this proposed project did not have the opportunity to raise an objection. And so I made it be known that I would vigorously oppose this particular plan because it violates my thought that government should be open and transparent and shouldn't be sneaking things past the voters."
It's unclear how the delay on Wednesday on the approval of the MUD will affect the project — Anderson, the Meritage Homes spokesman, said he was unsure himself. The MUD creation is also a ballot item right now —even though only two people who would actually benefit from the MUD are living on that land. They are MUD board members, according to an email from MetroNational, and are living in trailers on the former golf course. If the city does not approve the MUD before November 7, Knox said it's likely their votes won't matter anyway.

Blazers' CJ McCollum explains why 'basketball is secondary' during NBA restart
Mike Cruz
Everybody, including the players themselves, is excited to have the 2019-20 NBA season back in a few days. However, for Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum, "basketball is secondary" in the season's restart in Disney World in Orlando, Florida, according to David Aldridge of The Athletic.
McCollum, a vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, explained in a lengthy spiel why basketball, despite it being their main profession, comes second when the world spotlight shines on the league once again over the next few months:
"It's our job," he said. "Obviously we have a responsibility to fulfill those obligations. But it's also our job to fulfill and protect our neighborhoods, and protect the people who look like us, and come from places like us, and don't exactly have the same voices that we do. I think that that's something that's been on all of our minds. We've been very proactive about it. And me, a person who's big on education, education reform, I've continued to try to have those conversations with like-minded people, people who care about education. We continue to figure out ways to collectively make an impact and making change. But there are people who are involved in prison reform. There are people involved in police reform, and so many other different things that are moreso up their alley. We continue to try to have those discussions, conversations. And the biggest thing for us is education. You want to be educated on the matters you're speaking on, and really have a passion, and make sure that it's a point of focus for you individually."
The majority of NBA players feel hey need to use the season restart as a platform to make a difference and battle social injustices and inequalities. The Black Lives Matter movement broke out all over the country amidst the coronavirus pandemic, with many players around the league joining and even leading peaceful protests on the streets.
Several players and coaches have already launched their own initiatives and efforts. McCollum's Blazers teammate, Carmelo Anthony, launched the Social Change Fun along with buddies Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul, which aims to support grassroots organizations that work to affect change. Damian Lillard is also getting involved and making a difference.

Phase diagram of the dissipative Hofstadter model
Curtis Gove Callan, Denise Freed
Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics
A quantum particle moving in a uniform magnetic field and periodic potential (the Hofstadter model) has an energy band structure which varies in a discontinuous fashion as a function of the magnetic flux per lattice unit cell. In a real system, randomness of various kinds should "smooth out" this behavior in some way. To explore how this happens, we have studied the dissipative quantum mechanics of the Hofstadter model. We find, by virtue of a duality in a two-dimensional space parametrized by the dissipation constant and the magnetic field strength, that there are an infinite number of phase transition lines, whose density grows without limit as the dissipation goes to zero and the model reduces to the original Hofstadter model. The measurable quantity of greatest interest, the mobility, can be determined exactly in most of parameter space. The critical theory on the phase transition lines has yet to be characterized in any detail, but it has reparametrization invariance and defines a set of nontrivial backgrounds for open string theory.

More American churches are multiracial, but still less so than the neighborhoods surrounding them.
A Baylor University study found the percentage of multiracial congregations in the United States nearly doubled.
From 1998 to 2012, the most recent year for which data is available, multiracial churches grew from 6 percent to 12 percent of all U.S. congregations. Multiracial congregations are places of worship in which less than 80 percent of the congregants are of the same race or ethnicity.
About 1 in 5 American congregants attend a multiracial congregation, climbing to 18 percent in 2012 from 13 percent in 1998.
Catholic churches are the most likely to be multiracial, with about 1 in 4. But Protestant churches are growing more so.
The percentage of multiracial Protestant churches tripled from 1998 to 2012—4 percent to 12 percent.
This matches a recent LifeWay Research survey that found a similar trend of more Protestant pastors saying their church is racially diverse.
"Churches are looking more like their neighborhoods racially and ethnically, but they still lag behind," said Kevn Dougherty, associate professor of sociology at Baylor and lead author of the study.
Despite this gap, a 2015 LifeWay Research survey found 67 percent of Protestant churchgoers said their church is doing enough to be ethnically diverse and only 37 percent of white churchgoers said their church needs to become more ethnically diverse.
But monoethnic churches are declining. One-third of churches were composed entirely of one race in 2012. That's down from nearly half of U.S. churches in 1998.
Minority leadership of multiracial churches has increased, but the majority are still led by white pastors. Seventy-percent of multiracial congregations have a white lead pastor, but those with a black minister have risen to 17 percent in 2012 from 5 percent in 1998.
Black Americans are now the most likely group to worship with whites. In the typical multiracial church in 1998, 22 percent of the members were Latinos and 16 percent were black. By 2012, black members rose to nearly a quarter, while Latinos fell to 13 percent.
The demographic reality is that America is becoming more diverse.
Less than 48 percent of public school students in 2018 will be white, according to projections from the National Center for Education Statistics. That's down from almost 55 percent in 2008.
Generation Z, those born since 1998, is the most ethnically diverse generation in U.S. history.
The question becomes: how will the American church respond to the changing landscape?

Jealousy in a relationship isn't always easy to handle.
It can confuse anyone into believing that the relationship is threatened even if they're in a perfect relationship.
Jealousy crops up in many ways, but in essence, it's a sign of insecurity and the fear of losing the one you love.
And jealously in a relationship is never ever a bad thing.
No one chooses to be jealous, and almost always it's misunderstanding and lack of communication that leads to jealousy.
You may get jealous of your partner for several reasons.
You may not like the fact that they're hanging out with someone else and having a lot of fun, or you may just feel insecure about losing your lover to someone else.
While jealousy due to misunderstanding is acceptable, irrational jealousy isn't.
When a partner is threatened or feels jealous for the smallest of reasons, it's almost always a sign of social insecurity and low self-esteem.
You may be driven by your fears of losing the one you love and your insecurities may reveal your jealousy as a plea for more love and care. It is human nature, after all, to crave for reassurance and love when doubt arises.
But you should always remember that jealousy is actually one of the biggest causes of the downfall of a relationship.
So when you do feel jealous, you don't bring your partner closer. In fact, you drive them away with your behaviour!
If you feel that your partner is doing something that is making you jealous, you can express how you feel and talk to them in a mature way.
You can also communicate it with humour, diplomacy or directly as long as it is respectful.
If you are humorous, you can joke about how insanely jealous you are when your partner pays attention to someone else.
READ Why Can't We Love Each Other, Want To Love?
Laugh with them as you say this because it will take the pressure off the topic and will get the message across.
When you are diplomatic, you can let them know that you love them a lot and know that they will never cheat on you.
And if you are direct, just tell them that you trust them, yet cannot control your feelings and want them to consider how you feel.
One of the main reasons why people get jealous is that they have low self-esteem and insecurity issues.
They tend to think that they are not good enough, their partner will realize this and will leave them for someone else. You need to know that there is a reason why your partner liked you in the first place and got together with you.
If you need some reaffirmation or appreciation, don't hesitate to ask for that too (within reason of course).
The next time you feel jealous, remember that your partner is with you because they want to be with you because of your positive qualities.


TIM Desmond was extremely surprised when his small inland estate agent got a call out of the blue from popular property programme A Place in the Sun last month.
"We thought they usually went for the more mainstream places and the bigger agents," explains the British agent, who moved to the small inland village of Bedar, near Mojacar, with his wife Joanne, after leaving the navy seven years ago.
After he and Joanne spent a few days rushing around entertaining the film crew and meeting the 'househunters', he is not convinced they are going to buy.
"The pair are like chalk and cheese and while the wife loved the property we showed them, her husband was not as sure.
"But just the fact the programme is focussing on Bedar is great," adds Tim whose company Olive Properties has a range of excellent properties with an average price of just under €200,000 and starting from €80,000.
The only agency in Bedar, his portfolio of over 200 properties currently stretches from here to Antas, Sorbas and Lubrin, where he is opening a second branch.
"In recent years Bedar has become an attraction for both artists and painters," he continues. "It is just a short drive from the coastal town of Mojacar and owes its presence to the mining of iron ore in the 18th century.
Over the years Mojacar and the surrounding area has attracted a lot of expats also looking for their place in the sun.
And no matter what you are searching for – whether it be a secluded villa, a charming town house or a modern duplex – there seems to be something that fits the bill.
Moreover, according to the experts, prices are now at the lowest they have ever been and 'there has never been a better time to buy'.
So why do people come to Mojacar?
"Apart from the excellent weather, Mojacar is different. Its village is historical and has a very colourful and eventful past," explains Daphne Price, from Price Brown, the first British professionally qualified agent to establish offices in the area.
"There is no high-rise building allowed, so when one is walking or driving along the sea front, the sea views are not restricted.
"It has an excellent beach line, a magnificent backdrop of mountains and is a very friendly place.
"Overall it has a beckoning finger, it is beautiful, and its heart is Spanish," she adds.
Meanwhile fellow German expat Karen Schroter, from Mojacar Estates, which has been serving the area for 30 years, believes it is one of the last villages in the area that has not been 'spoilt by the boom'.
She explains: "Mojacar started in the 1970s as a place where you could find artists, musicians and writers," she explains.
"It was really a little hippy village. Little by little it has grown but it has remained rustic and quiet and kept its charms.
On top of this, she believes now is perhaps the best time to buy with prices having dropped by half over the last few years.
You would have enjoyed the experience although its really hard work, both for them and the buyers. Up at 7 and back at 10 in the evening. We bought our place near Gandia in 2004 now we want to sell as we are now retired here and need something a wee bit bigger. Have a look at the web site we used for rentals "http://www.valenciaholiday.iowners.net".
Wasn't like this when we purchased and will be sad to leave – neighbours fantastic but the big bright lights of the city beckon us…..

Adolf Max Johannes Tortilowicz von Batocki-Friebe (Bledau bij Koningsbergen, 31 juli 1868 - aldaar, 22 mei 1944) was een Pruisisch jurist en staatsman.

Hij ging naar school in Koningsbergen en studeerde vervolgens in Bonn, Straatsburg en Koningsbergen rechts- en staatswetenschappen. Hierna beheerde hij het majoraat van zijn familie. In 1892 werd hij ambtenaar te Koningsbergen. Hij was van 1900 tot 1907 landraad van het district Koningsbergen en van 1907 tot 1914 president van de vakvereniging voor de land- en bosbouw aldaar. In deze functie werkte hij samen met de eerste presidenten van de provincie Oost-Pruisen, een ambt dat hij vervolgens van 1914 tot 1916 en van 1918 tot 1919 zelf bekleedde. Hij hield zich met name bezig met de wederopbouw van zijn in de Eerste Wereldoorlog verwoeste provincie door het verstrekken van vee, zaaigoed en gereedschappen.

Hij was in 1916 en 1917 president van het Kriegsernährungsamt, in welke functie hij voedsel distribueerde en de economie centraal leidde. Vervolgens nam hij korte tijd dienst in het leger, waarna hij zijn oude functie in Oost-Pruisen weer oppakte. Hij kon door zijn goede functioneren ook na de Novemberrevolutie aanblijven, maar werd in 1919 vervangen door August Winnig.

Hij trok zich hierop terug op zijn landgoed Wosegau en werd in 1920 honorair professor van de universiteit van Koningsbergen. Van zijn Slot Bledau maakte hij een tehuis voor hulpbehoevende zieken. Adolf Tortilowicz von Batocki-Friebe stierf op 75-jarige leeftijd in 1944.

Miss Black Illinois brings her platform of self-worth to Washington
by Ashley Graham | Aug 21, 2018 | Living
WASHINGTON– Chicago native Maya Pitts says she still feels like a winner after last weekend's Miss Black USA pageant because she got to see her platform in action.
As Miss Black Illinois, Pitts, 25, focused her platform on her SELFIE campaign which emphasized self-confidence, self-worth and self-love among women and children. She works with underserved communities as part of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and volunteers with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago.
Over twenty contestants competed in the national scholarship pageant, which is the largest pageant created specifically for women of color. Miss Black Michigan Kelsi Horn won the title on Sunday night.
Pitts said being at the pageant and sharing her platform with her fellow Sister Queens made the trip to Washington worthwhile, and reaffirmed the importance of her platform.
"The most important thing in our communities is representation, and oftentimes we don't have representation in pageants for people of color, for women of color," Pitts said. "A lot of the young girls, knowing that I'm Miss Black Illinois…they don't really see someone like me [in] everyday life, working in the community on the west side of Chicago, being a part of a pageant."
Pitts says she wants to continue competing and helping other women like her get into pageantry. This was her second time competing in a pageant.


The Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops (SISC) and The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) have partnered to align measurement and reporting of sustainable agriculture throughout the food industry.
TSC and SISC have agreed to work toward harmonization of on-farm performance metrics and collaborate on projects to encourage stewardship across specialty crop (all fruits, nuts, and vegetables) supply chains.
This partnership will enable SISC's on-farm metrics, developed through a multi-stakeholder process, to be utilized in reporting against some of TSC quantitative key performance indicators (KPI's) on continuous improvement in specialty crops product categories. These KPI's are part of the TSC Category Sustainability Profile for the food and beverage sector.

Michigan Governor Signs Bill to Aid Poor Defendants
The package of bills signed by Gov. Rick Snyder create a commission to set minimum standards for attorneys who provide legal work for indigent defendants and make available more state funds to fill budget gaps at the county level.
by Tribune News Service | July 2, 2013
By Kathleen Gray
Even though Michigan counties spend an estimated $74 million a year for criminal defense for poor people, that's nowhere near enough.
According to the National Legal Aid and Defender Association, the indigent defense spending puts Michigan 44th among the states for criminal defense work for poor people.

Michigan Moves to Regulate Mixed Martial Arts
Michigan Cities Challenging Voter-Approved Marijuana Laws
How Emergency Financial Managers Changed Michigan
That disparity may come to an end, though, since Gov. Rick Snyder signed a package of bills Monday that will create a commission to set minimum standards for attorneys who provide legal work for indigent defendants.
The bills also call for the state to kick in the money needed to help counties pick up the legal tabs for poor people. Michigan is one of only seven states that doesn't provide money for indigent defense.
A commission appointed by Snyder in 2011 to look at Michigan's patchwork system of indigent defense in the state's 53 circuit courts found that up to $50 million more may be needed to bring Michigan up to, or above national averages.

"We're solving a problem in Michigan that we've had for far too long," Snyder said. "It will cost the state, but it's one of those things that's an appropriate investment to make. All people are entitled to a good defense."
The bills brought together an unlikely alliance of the political spectrum, including conservative Republicans state Rep. Tom McMillin of Rochester Hills and state Sen. Bruce Caswell of Hillsdale, along with the ACLU.
"This just shows what you can do when you put politics aside and work on a problem that really needs solving," said Shelli Weisberg, legislative liaison for the ACLU, which has been fighting for indigent defense reform for at least 10 years. "Unfortunately when you don't have adequate indigent defense, innocent people go to jail and guilty people go free."
The bills come too late to help men like Eddie Joe Lloyd, a Detroiter convicted of rape and murder in 1985 and exonerated with DNA evidence in 2002 after serving 17 years in prison.
His trial attorney quit eight days before trial and his replacement attorney never met with the initial lawyer, according to the Innocence Project, which took on Lloyd's case in 1995. The replacement attorney called no witnesses, didn't cross examine the police officer who obtained what was later described as a "coerced confession" and gave a five-minute closing argument. The appeals attorney never met with Lloyd and didn't bring up a case for ineffective counsel.
Lloyd's sister Ruth Lloyd Harlin of Highland Park attended the bill signing and said it was a bittersweet day.
"It's monumental that no one has to travel the road that he traveled because it breaks my heart whenever I think of him and what he went through," she said. "But this is a good day."
Lloyd died in 2004.
Indigent defense is a huge expense for counties already strapped for cash. In Wayne County, $16 million has been budgeted for this fiscal year, although costs have gone as high as $19.5 million in 2007. In Oakland County, $4.5 million is spent each year for indigent defense. And Macomb County has budgeted $4 million for 2013.
Cognizant of the fiscal pressures added cost might bring to counties, the state bills call on counties to budget for an average of the previous three years, and if the bill is higher for that in subsequent budget years, the state will kick in the difference.
"This is an issue of liberty. We have a system in Michigan that in some places carelessly permits the innocent to be locked up and actual criminals are still out on the streets," McMillin said. "I'm confident that justice will be administered evenly and fairly in our courts."

This is especially the case for oversize load trucking companies.


The La Porte County Symphony Orchestra is conducting a "Fashionably Late" subscription campaign this spring. This is in response to the overwhelming audience reaction to the LCSO's first Music Director candidate, Russell Ger.
"Russell is one of six candidates chosen for our Music Director search," said Tim King, LCSO Interim Executive Director. "His week with us this past November was an absolute highlight. The audience immediately gave Russell and the members of the LCSO a standing ovation that went on for several minutes. After that experience, the LCSO invites more members of our surrounding communities to hear what our Music Director candidates have to offer. So, we are offering a reduced "Fashionably Late" subscription rate for our final two concerts," stated King.
Upcoming concerts are Sunday, March 10th, 2019, 3:00 p.m. at the Holdcraft Performing Arts Center in Michigan City with candidate, Mercedes Diaz. Diaz will be the first woman in 15 years to conduct the LCSO. Her program is entitled "MADE IN AMERICA" with music by Bernstein, Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Dvorak.
Subscriptions for these concerts can be purchased online at www.LCSO.net or by calling 219-362-9020. Subscription prices are $50 for adults and $40 for seniors (60 and over).
