Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page often to get the most current updates!
Rossi had previously told everyone that Hotch was on vacation to explain their boss's recent absence however he revealed tonight that hadn't been the truth. He had apparently lied because Hotch's son Jack's life had been in danger and had been at risk. Jack had unfortunately been stalked by Peter Lewis and initially the Bureau thought they could protect him from the serial killer. But Peter was always able to get just close enough to Jack to prove that he was still a threat. So Hotch had been forced to take drastic measures to protect his son and that's why Rossi was suddenly coming clean.
Rossi had to tell the truth because he needed to explain that Hotch had entered the program with his son and that it meant Hotch had to officially resigned from the BAU. However, the FBI haven't wasted any time with filling Hotch's old position. Emily Prentiss had quickly been assigned as the new Chief of the BAU division and admittedly she was nervous. Emily hadn't expected that she would one day take over and so she didn't know how she would be in the position though she wanted to be good at the job. So Emily's first case as the newest Chief was a test of sorts and she didn't want to let anyone down.
Though Emily's first case as the Chief was similar to a much older one. Emily and the team had gone to Clayton, Delaware after three teenagers had been reported missing. The kids had been P.K, Josh, and Bones and they had been really interested in making movies. So everyone had thought that the kids were simply making another movie or just having an adventure until they didn't come home because that's when their parents started to worry. The parents of the three missing boys had said that their sons didn't runaway and that they had done nothing like staying out all night before. And so the Sheriff wanted to help yet his memories of the older case was what haunted him.
The Sheriff told the BAU that there had been another set of missing kids back in 1983. That time it had been a boy and a girl who were twins and they had been racing their older brother Deeley back home. Yet, Deeley made him and his siblings were never seen again. So the small town of Clayton had ostracized Deeley. There were some that thought he killed his siblings and others that didn't want to be around Deeley after he started drinking and never stopped however the Sheriff still sees Clayton from time to time and Clayton had unexpectedly introduced himself to the BAU. The little kid that was now all grown up had drunkenly asked the Sheriff if he was even useful.
The Sheriff had apparently been a little too cocky when he was investigating Johnny and Allie Henson's disappearance yet Deeley wanted to know if the Sheriff was now just lazy. But the Sheriff allowed Deeley to go home because he said he felt a little bad for him with all that had been through. So the team missed had ended up missing their first chance to investigate Deeley and instead they had tried to focus on the three missing boys. The missing the boys had actually mentioned a name as they were making their sci-fi movies and it had been Jimmy Ridley. Jimmy had grown up on the Ridley Farm and there has always been rumor about him.
Some folks in town have said that he's crazy and that he might have killed those kids back in 1983. However, the Sheriff had said that there had been no evidence indicating that and that Jimmy had been barely older than the twins. So Jimmy Ridley wasn't considered to be a threat, but the team still needed to investigate that angle and what they had seen on the Ridley Farms had been enough to convince them that Jimmy could have taken the twins as well as the current missing three. Jimmy had created a collage of sorts with pictures of the twins and the latest kids on the bike. And so finding one of the kids' helmet had made them all believe that Jimmy was their Unsub.
Only Jimmy couldn't be there Unsub. Jimmy suffered from mental problems however he made sure that other people stayed away and wasn't afraid to frighten them in order to be left alone. So Jimmy had revealed on his own that he three firecrackers at the kids sometimes because he didn't like them on their property and seeing as most of them do it out of curiosity as if he was a circus freak– he had right to use any means necessary. Though later that day the team had tried the one resource that they knew could help. They tried talking to Deeley and he told them everything that he knew. Beginning from when he found his siblings at Elliott's Pond.
Deeley had said that he went to go fetch the twins for their weekend with their dad and that they had raced home. Yet, his siblings had tried taking the shortcut through the corn fields and so those were the places the BAU checked next. They looked by Elliot's Pond and had found one of the boys' backpack so they called for an all-night search and Deeley had even sobered up to help. So when one of them had come across a hunting trap, Deeley had helped them determine who's trap it was. Deeley had said that it probably belonged to Old Man Clemmens. Clemmens was a survivalist nut that like Jimmy preferred for no one to find him.
But Garcia had checked out Clemmens and she had found out that he had a record and had been committed to the local asylum before it had been burned down. So Garcia said that one of the things that Clemmens had been arrested for was the fact he had kidnapped a minor because he had been lonely yet that wasn't the only bit of news. Garcia had also found out that Clemmens had been freed from the asylum after it burned down in the last part 1982 and so that would explain why the Henson twins went missing in 1983. And so the there was only one part of the equation that didn't seemingly fit with Clemmens being their Unsub – he was too old.
Clemmens would have been 82 if he was still alive and he couldn't possibly be able to carry three thirteen-year-olds off much less keep them in submission. So Alvez had a theory about that. Alvez said that there was a chance that Clemmens never killed the Henson twins and that the twins were the ones that had kidnapped the three boys. However, they had needed to get to Clemmens's Farm to see if he was there or if he had an underground bunker, but luckily Clemmens had used his house and the Henson twins hadn't changed a single thing. And so the team found all three kids and Deeley got his siblings back.
Though with one case under her belt, Emily had still been unsure about whether she wanted Hotch's position or not and in the end so she didn't make up her mind until they were back at headquarters.
And only then she did decide that she wanted the job.

Canada's Olympic champion wrestler Wiebe eyes return to competition
Olympic champion wrestler Erica Wiebe feels it's time to get back on the competition mat. She and teammate Amar Dhesi of Surrey, B.C., intend to represent Canada at a December World Cup in Belgrade, Serbia, unless the COVID-19 virus derails those plans.

Olympic champion wrestler Erica Wiebe feels it's time to get back on the competition mat.
She and teammate Amar Dhesi of Surrey, B.C., intend to represent Canada at a December World Cup in Belgrade, Serbia, unless the COVID-19 virus derails those plans.
It's been almost nine months since the two Canadians competed in the Pan American Olympic qualification tournament in Ottawa.
Wrestling in front of zero fans in mid-March, they punched their tickets to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Less than two weeks later, the Summer Olympics were postponed until 2021.
Wiebe is ready to navigate the pandemic pitfalls and complications of international travel to reboot her competitive journey to Tokyo.
"It's been really crazy because in my 10 years on the Canadian national team, I've never not competed for this long," said the 31-year-old from Stittsville, Ont.
"I'm wrestling and training better than I ever have. I've just taken so much time to develop, to really dig into some technical and tactical skills. The training volumes are so different compared to when we're traveling to Europe every month.
"When I think about competing in Serbia in three weeks, it's really exciting to just see where I'm at, to experience a competitive environment and go through that process."
The reigning Olympic champion in the 75-kilogram class trains in Calgary.
Dhesi, a 25-year-old who wrestles in the men's heavyweight division, is currently training at the University of Ohio.
"All this training doesn't doesn't actually prepare for the real thing on the mat," Dhesi told The Canadian Press from Columbus.
"I need to get in front of a real referee and stand beside a real opponent, blow the whistle and see what happens. I'm just grateful Canada is letting us go."
The tournament Dec. 12-18 in Serbia's capital city was initially the world championship. With some countries unable or unwilling to attend, it was downgraded to a World Cup.
Both Wiebe and Dhesi say there will be enough high-calibre opponents to warrant travelling there.
Wrestling Canada wrestled with risk and reward in deciding the World Cup was an option for the Canadian team. Some athletes chose not to go.
"We've had athletes that training wise are probably ready to go and compete in Serbia, but don't feel comfortable doing so," high-performance director Lúcás Ó'Ceallacháin said.
"We haven't forced anybody to do that. We have some athletes that still live at home, that have elderly relatives that live with them that will be considered high risk."
Canada's six-person contingent will consist of Ó'Ceallacháin, Wiebe, Dhesi, their coaches and an athletic therapist.
Wrestling Canada used the return-to-competition assessment tool developed by Own The Podium and the Canadian Olympic Committee, as well as consulting medical experts, to determine how safe it was for Canadian athletes to compete in Belgrade.
"They are precious cargo," Ó'Ceallacháin said. "We take it very seriously how we're going to take care of them.
"Serbia has been very good at providing extensive documentation in terms of what their plans are and what they're going to do. We feel they're doing everything they possibly can.
"We're full of trepidation, anxiety, but we're also excited to get back at it."
Ó'Ceallacháin says he also sought advice from Canada's winter-sport teams already competing in Europe, as well as the Canadian judo team that travelled to Guadalajara, Mexico, and Budapest, Hungary for competition in recent weeks.
Wiebe intends to take part in Alberta's rapid-testing pilot program for international travellers at the Calgary airport upon return.
That could shorten her quarantine from the required 14 days if Wiebe tests negative.
Competing in Belgrade means she won't spend the holidays with her family in Ontario.
"It's a really big sacrifice that's really important for me right now," Wiebe said.

Loyalty defines Jordan's legacy
Illinois senior Aaron Jordan waves to the crowd as he is recognized before the game against Indiana at the State Farm Center on Thursday. The Illini lost 92-74.
Austin Yattoni
By Gavin Good, Staff writer
Filed under Basketball, Men's Sports, Sports, Sports Top Stories, Top Stories
A lot has changed in the Illinois basketball program since Aaron Jordan committed in 2014.
At that time, the Illini were fresh off an NCAA Tournament appearance. John Groce was in his second year as head coach, and the program was regarded as one that would be dancing perennially in March.
Today, not much remains from Groce's tenure, and the perception of the program regionally and nationally has fallen significantly. Even the State Farm Center has been renovated.
But Jordan remains.
Now a senior on second-year head coach Brad Underwood's squad, Jordan has ridden out a tough career in Champaign.
In Groce's final year, Jordan saw his playing time drop to less than seven minutes per game, a frustrating development for a prospect who expected to be contributing more after averaging 11.4 minutes in his freshman campaign.
After Groce was fired and Underwood was brought on, there was a mass exodus of players leaving Illinois, and a new crop of talent came to town.
No one would have blinked, much less blamed him, if Jordan had decided to take his talents elsewhere. But, somewhat surprisingly, the 6-foot-5-inch wing elected to stay at Illinois and carve out a role in Underwood's guard-heavy system.
"That was probably one of the best decisions in my life, other than coming here in the first place," Jordan said. "That was a difficult time; it was for a lot of people. But it was nothing I couldn't get through."
Jordan played his last game as an Illini at the State Farm Center on Thursday.
He went 4-of-10 from the field in a loss to Indiana, knocking down 3-of-7 three-point attempts and scoring 11 points in his 27 minutes on the floor.
It wasn't a showstopper of a performance, but he did finish slightly above his 8.2 points-per-game season average. However, he couldn't do much to thwart the Hoosiers, who won 92-74.
But those are the contributions Illinois has come to expect and rely on from Jordan during a senior campaign in which the one-time catch-and-shoot-only guard has come into his own in other areas of the game.
"I'm definitely more mature," Jordan said. "Not just being an offensive guy, being a defensive guy, too. Rebounding and things like that. In high school, I definitely wasn't thinking about that. I told myself, 'I'm going to stand in that corner, and when the ball comes, I'm going to shoot it.' Nowadays, it's doing all the little things, doing everything, making myself the best player I can be."
Jordan is trusted for his sharpshooting, of course, but also for his above-average rebounding production as a guard, his defense performance and his decision-making.
He played in every game as a junior, earning six starts, and as he has come along in areas besides shooting — he still leads the Illini with a 40.6 percent three-point clip — he's seen an increased role.
The Plainfield East product has made 28 starts in 30 games, third behind only Giorgi Bezhanishvili (30 starts) and Ayo Dosunmu (29 starts).
Underwood has never been hesitant to offer his thoughts on his players, whether he's leveling praise or criticism.
"(Jordan is) rebounding at an unbelievable clip; he's driving the basketball at a much higher rate," Underwood said. "He's become more than just a shooter. He puts the ball on the floor, which, last year, he didn't do very well. His passing has improved. I think every facet of his game has gotten better, and we haven't been bashful in terms of asking him to do those things. Everybody knows he's a great shooter. There's a lot more to his game than that, and we've been able to see that and experience that."
Jordan's contributions have gone beyond on-the-court production though. He has emerged as a veteran leader on a very inexperienced roster.
Unlike other programs, Illinois has relied heavily on younger players — Dosunmu, Bezhanishvili and sophomore Trent Frazier — to play big roles as not only producers but also leaders.
Some players wouldn't enjoy sharing leadership responsibilities with players who are two or three years younger than them.
But Jordan seems to have embraced a sort of elder statesman role, while also allowing the bold personalities and energy of his cohorts to thrive next to him.
Bezhanishvili described Jordan's leadership ability as a two-part thing based on his ability to lead by example and show the team's other guys how they should lead but also based on him being an attuned listener.
He hasn't held back, Bezhanishvili notes.
"He's not like, 'OK, these young guys don't know anything, and I'm not going to let them say anything. I'm just gonna lead by myself,'" he said. "He didn't do that. He's been vulnerable."
Bezhanishvili, a vocal guy known for his odd antics and friendly persona, admires the way Jordan carries himself and his responsibilities.
"When we have to say something, he listens," Bezhanishvili said. "Obviously, we listen when he says something because he has been here so long. That's really a powerful thing to have, especially as a basketball player, a dominant basketball player, to be vulnerable to other people. When we say something, when Ayo says something, Trent, me, he just listens. He absorbs it, and that's a really powerful thing he has. I really appreciate it for him. Not just in basketball, just in general. That will be a great thing for him."
For his part, Jordan has embraced the daily grind and everything that has come with being a part of the Underwood rebuild, something he could never have foreseen when he committed to Illinois four years ago.
If someone is slacking off, Jordan will let them know. If a teammate needs to be picked up after a rough sequence, Jordan is there. And when the team's joking around or celebrating a big win, he's right in the mix with everybody else.
But Jordan isn't usually the guy commanding his teammates around the floor, or even the one breaking it down at the end of huddles.
He lays his legacy on being a guy his teammates can look to as a leader and a peer, as well as on a big part of the foundation of Underwood's system and philosophy.
"I enjoyed it; it was amazing actually, to be honest," Jordan said. "Knowing that I've been through it and now I get to be that person that paves the way, it's something I took pride in; it's something I enjoyed with these guys. Never a dull moment around these guys; they always seem to amaze. I learned a lot; it's made me grow as a person, so I'm thankful for that."
Looking back, Jordan has gotten stronger, become multidimensional and even scrapped his scruffy beard for a more chiseled, defined goatee.
He's changed a lot since arriving in Champaign, facial hairstyles aside.
And although his Illini playing days have come to an end, Jordan has no regret in his heart.
"I had no idea what I was doing at that time (when committing), but I just knew I loved to play basketball," Jordan said through a laugh. "At that time, I didn't know this opportunity would be available to me. I'm just thankful. All the hard work back then, it started before that, but during that, I was still working. It paid off."
When assessing Jordan as a player and as a person in his program, Underwood's eyes began to glisten a bit.
"He'll be the guy I never forget, because he's been part of the solution," Underwood said. "Our record is not going to show, or it doesn't show right now, how much we've improved and how much better we've gotten. I love going to practice every day because I love the guys in the locker room. (Jordan) is a big part of that. He's a guy that, his leadership, his commitment, his dedication, his improvement is everything we want this thing to be about."

Basically, they're going to shun anyone that wants to investigate them. They don't like the checks and balances because they are not for an actual democracy. They want to dictate.
It's telling me I need a subscription to view. Boo. But I can guess the gist of it.
I hope this isn't confusing. I tried copying and it kept showing that you must subscribe ad. I think I might've gotten around it. I'll have to post in two parts.
G.O.P. Declares Jan. 6 Attack ?Legitimate Political Discourse?
The Republican National Committee voted to censure Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for participating in the inquiry into the deadly riot at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON ? The Republican Party on Friday officially declared the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and events that led to it ?legitimate political discourse,? and rebuked two lawmakers in the party who have been most outspoken in condemning the deadly riot and the role of Donald J. Trump in spreading the election lies that fueled it.
The Republican National Committee?s voice vote to censure Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois at its winter meeting in Salt Lake City culminated more than a year of vacillation, which started with party leaders condemning the Capitol attack and Mr. Trump?s conduct, then shifted to downplaying and denying it.
On Friday, the party went further in a resolution slamming Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger for taking part in the House investigation of the assault, saying they were participating in ?persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.?
After the vote, party leaders rushed to clarify that language, saying it was never meant to apply to rioters who violently stormed the Capitol in Mr. Trump?s name.
?Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger crossed a line,? Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, said in a statement. ?They chose to join Nancy Pelosi in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse that had nothing to do with violence at the Capitol.?
But the censure, which was carefully negotiated in private among party members, made no such distinction, nor is the House committee investigating the attack examining any normal political debate. It was the latest and most forceful effort by the Republican Party to minimize what happened and the broader attempt by Mr. Trump and his allies to invalidate the results of the 2020 election. In approving it and opting to punish two of its own, Republicans seemed to embrace a position that many of them have only hinted at: that the assault and the actions that preceded it were acceptable.
It came days after Mr. Trump suggested that, if re-elected in 2024, he would consider pardons for those convicted in the Jan. 6 attack and for the first time described his goal that day as subverting the election results, saying in a statement that Vice President Mike Pence ?could have overturned the election.?
On Friday, Mr. Pence pushed back on Mr. Trump, calling his assertion ?wrong.?
?I had no right to overturn the election,? Mr. Pence told the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization, at a gathering in Florida.
The day?s events, which were supposed to be about unity, only served to highlight Republicans? persistent division over Mr. Trump?s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, as their leaders try to move forward and focus attention on what they call the failings of the Biden administration. More than a year later, the party is still wrestling with how much criticism and dissent it will tolerate.
?Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol,? Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, wrote on Twitter ?Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost.?
He did not mention that the party chairwoman who presided over the meeting and orchestrated the censure resolution, Ms. McDaniel, is his niece.
The censure was also condemned by Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana, who, like Mr. Romney, voted to remove Mr. Trump from office for inciting insurrection on Jan. 6, and Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, also a Republican, who called Friday ?a sad day for my party ? and the country.?
Republican National Committee members defended the measure, describing people who have been questioned by the Jan. 6 committee as victims in a broader Democratic effort to keep focus on the attack at the Capitol.
?The nominal Republicans on the committee provide a pastiche of bipartisanship, but no genuine protection or due process for the ordinary people who did not riot being targeted and terrorized by the committee,? said Richard Porter, a Republican National Committee member from Illinois. ?The investigation is a de facto Democrat-only investigation increasingly unmoored from congressional norms.?
The Jan. 6 committee, which has seven Democratic members, has interviewed more than 475 witnesses, the vast majority of whom either volunteered to testify or agreed to without a subpoena. It has no prosecutorial powers, and is charged with drawing up a report and producing recommendations to prevent anything similar from happening again.
The party?s far-right flank has long agitated to boot Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger out of the House Republican Conference for agreeing to serve on the panel, a push that Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader, has tried to brush aside. And the formal censure, approved by the state party chairs and committee members who make up the Republican National Committee, is sure to stir up those efforts again.
The Republican Party declared the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and events that led to it as ?legitimate political discourse.?

?We need to move on from that whole discussion and, frankly, move forward and get the House back in 2022,? said Representative Mike Garcia, a California Republican facing a difficult re-election campaign in a newly configured district.
Most House Republicans tried to ignore the actions of the party on Friday, refusing to answer questions or saying they had not read the censure resolution. Representative Dan Crenshaw, Republican of Texas, called it ?dumb stuff,? while Representative Mark Green, Republican of Tennessee, lamented the distraction from ?this abysmal administration?s record.?
Democrats, however, were incensed at the resolution?s language.
?The Republican Party is so off the deep end now that they are describing an attempted coup and a deadly insurrection as political expression,? said Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland and a member of the special House committee investigating the Capitol attack. ?It is a scandal that historians will be aghast at, to think that a major political party would be denouncing Liz Cheney for standing up for the Constitution and not saying anything about Donald Trump?s involvement in the insurrection.?
In his own defense, Mr. Kinzinger said: ?I have no regrets about my decision to uphold my oath of office and defend the Constitution. I will continue to focus my efforts on standing for truth and working to fight the political matrix that?s led us to where we find ourselves today.?
The resolution spoke repeatedly of party unity as the goal of censuring the lawmakers, saying that Republicans? ability to focus on the Biden administration was being ?sabotaged? by the ?actions and words? of Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger, which indicate ?they support Democrat efforts to destroy President Trump more than they support winning back a Republican majority in 2022.?
Normally, the party stays out of primary fights, but the resolution will make it easier for the Republican apparatus to abandon Ms. Cheney and throw its weight and money behind her main G.O.P. challenger, Harriet Hageman.
It declares that the party ?shall immediately cease any and all support of? both lawmakers ?as members of the Republican Party for their behavior, which has been destructive to the institution of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party and our republic, and is inconsistent with the position of the conference.?
Mr. Kinzinger has already announced he will not seek re-election, as have some other House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump for inciting the attack on the Capitol. Ms. Cheney, however, has vowed to stand for re-election.
The posting of this article kept giving me trouble.

Earlier this week, the Wyoming delegation to the Republican National Committee submitted a so-called "Rule 11" letter, formalizing party support for Ms. Hageman. The existence of the letter was reported by The Washington Post.
The letter allows the Republican National Committee to send resources to the Wyoming branch of the party to spend on Ms. Hageman's behalf — essentially designating her as the party's presumptive nominee. The designations are common in Republican politics, but typically are used to support incumbents who may be facing token primary challengers.
Ms. Cheney, who faces an uphill battle in her re-election bid against a Republican Party aligned with Mr. Trump, said party leaders "have made themselves willing hostages" to Mr. Trump.
"I do not recognize those in my party who have abandoned the Constitution to embrace Donald Trump," she said. "History will be their judge. I will never stop fighting for our constitutional republic. No matter what."
Ms. Cheney has a commanding financial advantage over Ms. Hageman, according to federal campaign finance reports released this week. Ms. Cheney entered 2022 with nearly $5 million in campaign cash, while Ms. Hageman reported just $380,000.
The censure resolution was watered down from an initial version that called directly for the House Republican Conference to "expel" Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger "without delay." That demand was dropped. However, the language condemning the attack on "legitimate political discourse" was then added.
William J. Palatucci, a Republican National Committee member from New Jersey who said he opposed the resolution, said those changes were made "behind closed doors." The final language was officially circulated to committee members early Friday morning. He called it "cancel culture at its worst.
I can't rep you, so thank you CC!

Ex-NYPD cop who assaulted D.C. officer on Jan. 6 gets record-setting 10-year sentence
A retired New York City Police Department officer who was convicted of several felonies for attacking a D.C. cop with a flag pole on Jan. 6 and then tackling the officer to the ground and attempting to rip off his gas mask was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison on Thursday.
Thomas Webster was sentenced by Judge Amit P. Mehta to the longest sentence yet in a Jan. 6 case.
Webster, 56, was convicted by a jury in May after they determined he was lying on the stand when he tried to convince them he was trying to help the officer he assaulted to "see my hands" when he grabbed the officer's gas mask after he tackled him to the ground.
No one should be "gleeful" that Webster was facing 17.5 years in federal prison, Mehta said Thursday.
"What you did that day, it is hard to really put into words," Mehta told Webster. "I still remain shocked every single time I see [video of the attack]."
Mehta said Webster was "the first aggressor" in his confrontation with the D.C. police officer, and "all hell broke loose" on the police line when Webster showed up at that part of the police line.
"Nothing can explain or justify Mr. Webster's rage," Assistant U.S. Attorney Hava Arin Levenson Mirell told the judge. "Webster is one of the rioters who should have known better."
"No one knows better than a former cop how dangerous it was on Jan. 6," the federal prosecutor said, saying that Webster's service made his behavior "particularly heinous."
Even if he didn't know better than "to believe Trump's lie," he knew better than to assault officers, Mirell said.
"He feels entitled to do what he wants as a former police officer," Mirell said. Webster went "old-school" and "rogue" on Jan. 6, she said, adding that "instigated violence" and was clearly anticipating a violent clash.

Song of the Week: Travis Scott Flaunts His Business Acumen on "FRANCHISE"
The Houston rapper has serious bars to drop and a growing brand to sell

Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can't get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify New Sounds playlist.
Sometimes a rapper becomes bigger than the game. Travis Scott got there before he turned 30. Let's do the rundown: owns his own record label, Cactus Jack Records; founded his own annual music festival, Astroworld; collabs on sneakers with Nike that are so popular that some stores won't carry them for fear of being bombarded by Scott's fans; and has his own meal featured at participating McDonald's restaurants. That's without mentioning the 45 million in album sales, six Grammys, and a Billboard Music Award. A lot of rappers have gold grills and drop golden bars, but when you're on the menu beneath the golden arches — damn, you came, saw, and conquered a lot more than just the hip-hop world. Oh, and if you think that Mickey D's commercial is just some silly endorsement spot, note that Scott was wise enough to drop his name, get his likable likeness out there, shout-out his record label, and promote his upcoming solo album, Utopia. Not bad for 30 seconds and some special sauce.
Scott's as prolific a songwriter as he is a savvy businessman, and he flaunts that business acumen on "FRANCHISE" in much the same way emcees used to brag about ice and their tricked-out whips. Sure, he's got his Cactus Jack logo hanging around his neck ("You see the crosses over ya/ That's how you know it's us"), but that bling represents a lot more than having made it out of a dangerous neighborhood in south-central Houston. It represents a burgeoning empire that Scott sits atop of with no signs of slowing down. Similarly, it's far more than standard hip-hop braggadocio when Scott says, "Unboxing my checks, not my Nikes" over the song's stilted, grinding beat. It's one thing to have a fat wad of cash in your money clip, but those stacks of checks are coming from shoe sales, a Fortnite partnership, and even a chicken McNugget-shaped body pillow endorsed by Scott. And they're coming in on the regular.
At this point, Scott is a brand, and he knows it. Hence, a song like "FRANCHISE" isn't just an excuse to pal around with Young Thug or lure out M.I.A., who has been missing from action since 2018 (and gets more eyebrow raises in the video for her body suit of flowers than her vocal contributions). While Scott upholds the longstanding hip-hop tradition of allusion and shout-outs — spitting effortlessly about sporting white tees on behalf of Dem Franchize Boyz and not being "bamboozled" in reference to the Spike Lee joint — he's also pitching what's coming down the line from his personal brand. So, we get lines like "Cacti's, not no iced tea," which name-drops the lifestyle brand he's been working on and will include a drink (seen in the video). We also get the line "When we open up gates at Utopia (it's lit)/ It's like Zootopia." Here, Scott self-promotes his upcoming album in such a way that it makes one believe there'll be much more to it than a simple album drop. Stay tuned.
While some may argue that art, even if commercial, shouldn't be a commercial, looking at the more than six million YouTube views that the "FRANCHISE" music video accrued in 24 hours (not to mention those who saw it before IMAX screenings of Christopher Nolan's Tenet), we might ask, "Who's kidding who?" And as Scott might say (and get paid to do so): "it's lit. i'm lovin' it."

Based on our aggregated reviews and our scoring method, we recommend Eluxury Supply in this match up!
Input from customers is a powerful way to focus your list of potential mattresses to buy. These mattresses have some great reviews by sleepers, but there were a few folks that complained. Below is a list of customer reviews and specifics on the feel of these mattresses -- read on to make sure one of these works for you!
These mattresses are above average when it comes to support. Though some folks don't totally like the firmness levels of these mattresses, the majority of folks feel like there is the right amount of support for their bodies.
Edge support is really important for folks that spend a few minutes sitting on the side of the mattress or roll towards the edge of the mattress at night. These mattresses are well reviewed for their edge support overall and they should fit the needs of most folks.
Bowling balls are useful to measure mattress firmness and support. These mattresses are well rated at providing even support across the surface, which means they should work well to align the spine of your body.
Companies that focus on quality control and testing will more than likely build durable mattresses. Some sleepers may have disagreements with companies if they don't have these attributes. These mattresses receive mixed feelings from customers on durability. There are reports by some of issues about comfort over a short term, but others that have lasting comfort. Do a final rundown of the reviews before you purchase.
Customer reviews can be difficult to get at and even harder to understand -- especially with some companies focusing heavily on protecting their reputation. Sleepers, sadly, don't always feel comfortable from these mattresses. There are still customers that really appreciate these beds, but many others that don't. Read on to understand the specifics of the mattresses.
A supportive mattress is important to all, but especially important for back and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers also need deeper support and a responsive mattress for their hips and shoulders. For most sleepers, these mattresses offer a good amount of support. That said, some folks didn't feel supported enough so if you are heavier, make sure to take a harder look.
Finding a highly durable mattress is great, and when we instead buy a mattress that causes us discomfort after only a year, we feel cheated. However, now more than ever, it is getting harder to find lasting comfort. With more types of products than ever before, some brands aren't investing as much in quality. In terms of these mattresses, some sleepers report durability concerns. Not every customer experiences durability problems, but do some extra reading to make sure that your choice works for your body.

UPDATE: May Day Protests Occupy and Shutdown the Guggenheim Museum
By Alanna Martinez • 05/01/15 3:10pm

On Friday May 1, activists from Gulf Ultra Luxury Faction (GULF) organized a sit-in at the Guggenheim Museum and demanded a meeting with board members to discuss the state of workers rights at the museum's Abu Dhabi location. The protest is the fifth unsanctioned action by the group to date.
At noon, GULF, a branch of the Gulf Labor activist group, unfurled a large, red banner at the base of the museum's Rotunda that read "Meet Workers' Demands Now!" and released thousands of red and blue pamphlets inspired by the artwork of On Kawara (the artist's retrospective is currently on view) from balconies above, according to Artinfo writer Mostafa Hedaya. Protestors sang chants over the live reading of Kawara's ongoing performance project "One Million Years," and announced that they would occupy the space until they were able to meet with board members. Their list of demands were distributed on flyers that read:
WORKERS BUILDING GUGGENHEIM ABU DHABI DEMAND: A LIVING WAGE; DEBT JUBILEE – A fund to settle all recruitment debts; RIGHT TO ORGANIZE. This is an indefinite occupation in solidarity with the workers and their demands.
The museum stopped admitting new visitors shortly after the protest began and NYPD arrived at the scene. Another group gathered simultaneously outside the museum to protest, accompanied by artist collective the Guerrilla Girls, who are widely known for their own socially critical artwork and actions often directed at major museums.
The museum remained open during the protest until approximately 2:30 p.m. when it closed to the public, but allowed GULF members to stay.
The Guggenheim has been met with widespread criticism over its treatment of workers building the new Frank Gehry-designed location on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. Accusations against the museum include harsh transit and recruitment fees, seizing passports from migrant workers, substandard living conditions, low wages, and brutal work schedules. Investigations from the Human Rights Watch have been ongoing since 2009, according to the Times, which launched its own investigation into the conditions of workers building an N.Y.U. campus extension in the region in 2014.
Here, the Guggenheim's latest statement on workers' rights in Abu Dhabi, from February 2014. The group has been updating its Twitter with photos and videos since today's action began using the hashtag #GuggOccupied.
UPDATE (Monday, May 4):
The Guggenheim has provided the following statement to the Observer on the events that transpired Friday, May 1:
We are disappointed that the actions of today's demonstrators forced the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to close its doors and turn away thousands of members of the public.
We have met with representatives of the group behind today's demonstration on several occasions and have tried to maintain open lines of communication. We share their concerns about worker welfare in the Gulf Region, but these kinds of disruptive activities run counter to our objective of building the cooperation and goodwill necessary to further change on an extremely complex geopolitical issue.
Despite erroneous reports to the contrary, construction of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi has not yet begun and a contractor has not yet been selected. In preparation for these milestones, the Guggenheim has been working with our partner, the Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), and other authorities and stakeholders inside and outside of the UAE to continue to advance progress on conditions for workers.
The Guggenheim seeks, as we have from the start, to advance meaningful and verifiable actions. This is evidenced by our continuing contributions to the TDIC Employment Practices Policy (EPP). Significant and documented progress has been made on a number of fronts, including worker accommodation, access to medical coverage, grievance procedures, and retention of passports.
We believe the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi project presents an opportunity for a dynamic cultural exchange and to chart a more inclusive and expansive view of art history. These efforts at real action will take time to become a reality on the ground. We understand that this endeavor comes with great responsibility and we believe strongly in the transformative potential of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
The statement can also be read in full on the museum's website, here.

Weber Grill Guide: Q, Spirit, Genesis, Summit and Kettle BBQs
Weber Grill Fanatic Guide
Great BBQs for Great Times!
Are Weber Grills Worth The Money? Why Are They So Expensive?
May 23, 2020 By Weber Collins
People have loved Weber grills for generations, and with proper care a Weber grill may last that long. But there are a lot of other grills out there, many of them with the same features, at a much more reasonable price. What makes Weber grills so expensive? And are they worth it?
About Weber
Weber grills grew out of Weber Bros. Metal Works, a family business started in 1893. In 1952, co-owner George Stephen Sr. had been cooking with a brazier at home, and used some old sheet metal to build the first Weber grill (then called "George's Barbecue Kettle") and bring it to market.
Until then, outdoor cooking was typically done over an open flame or in a brick oven, and this "kettle" was the first grill of its kind, designed for improved performance and consistency when cooking outdoors. The product became so popular that Stephen soon led the newly formed Weber Barbecue division.
In the late 50s, Stephen bought out the Weber Bros. factory, renamed the company Weber-Stephen Products, and devoted the new business to barbecues and grills, developing new materials, new techniques, and new ways to cook outdoors.
Weber remained a family firm until 2010, when BDT Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the company.
There are a few factors that set Weber grills apart from other, less expensive grills. The most important features are:
Weber is not only the inventor of the backyard grill as we know it today, but the company has continued to innovate over the years. The company continues to develop new technologies, file patents, and innovate more and better grill techniques, and pays attention to customer feedback. This means that even classic Weber designs often get thoughtful upgrades like self-cleaning systems, grease channels, and other improvements over their own and competitor grills.
Weber grills are made with porcelain-coated enamel or stainless steel, cast iron, and other high-quality materials. The company uses welds instead of fasteners when building grills, which takes more time and labor, but creates more durable, rustproof seams.
Testing and quality assurance. Weber grills are thoroughly tested to meet company standards. Each model is tested to simulate 10-15 years of use, and make sure that they stand up to touch conditions.
Easily Repaired
Weber makes grill schematics and replacement parts easily available. This makes them easy to repair at a wide range of service centers, or to order parts and repair them yourself, without having to ship the grill anywhere. This also means that you may be able to find an older model Weber at a garage sale and rehab it with new parts, to bring it back to life.
Weber has world-class customer support that takes the time to make sure you are satisfied. They help you with questions, problems, and repairs, and have excellent response times and follow-up.
Most Weber grills have a 10-year warranty, and the company stands by their product. They will even refund the cost of shipping if a return is necessary. Even when a Weber is out of warranty, as we've already mentioned, it's easy to get replacement parts and keep a Weber grill in great condition for decades.
Weber Grills Decline in Quality?
Even the most devoted Weber fans may have noticed a decline in quality in recent years. There are a few factors at play that may be at the root of these issues.
International Assembly
For decades, Weber grills were made entirely in the US. Over time, they moved production of parts overseas, and only assembled their grills in America. Today, although the company is still headquartered in the States, most of them are manufactured abroad. While all their grills still meet Weber's rigorous testing, some people feel that there has been a decline in overall quality since production was outsourced.
Lower Grade of Steel
In recent years, Weber has switched from 304 stainless steel to 430 grade steel. While the thick-gauged 430 currently used by Weber is durable and holds up, it is a lower grade of steel than the original Webers.
Behind the Curve
While Weber has a well-deserved reputation for innovation, they aren't currently adapting well to a new generation of smart grills.
While competitors have technologies that allow you to monitor and adjust your grill from a smart device, which can be incredibly useful if you are smoking a brisket overnight or have to run to the store for missed ingredients, Weber's foray into intelligent grilling leaves a lot to be desired. While the Weber Connect system and Smart Grilling Hub are great ideas in theory, in practice the technologies are prone to glitches and connection issues, and even when they are working properly, they are inaccurate and not very useful.
Since we are living in increasingly connected homes, and can get smart connections to ovens, coffeemakers, and even light bulbs, this is a pretty serious oversight. It would be better to not have these technologies at all, than to offer them to consumers when they don't work properly.
Are Weber Grills Worth the Money?
Despite these drawbacks, for most people the answer is a resounding Yes — Weber grills are still worth the money.
When used traditionally, without any smart tech, these grills give you fantastic results, convenient features, and incredible durability. That being said, some of the Weber models launched in the past couple of years aren't worth the investment and seem to have been rushed to market.
Because of their durable materials, quality builds, and readily available parts, many people choose to continue upgrading an older model Weber or finding a used one and rehabbing it.
In almost every case the smart choice is to buy an older Weber model if you can, or to wait for honest, unbiased reviews of new models before rushing to upgrade. The best Weber grills are worth every penny.

The Church of St John the Baptist was the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of this City of Chester from 1075 until the Reformation in 1541 when the College was dissolved and the Bishops Seat (Cathedra) first set up here after the Reformation was transferred to the dissolved Abbey of St Werburgh, which was in better condition and had not suffered quite the same rigorous attention of the King's Commissioners.
It is a popular misconception that St John's ceased to be a Cathedral when the second Norman Bishop (Roger de Limsey) took himself off to Coventry in 1102, but it is very clear that Bishops from the Norman Conquest until the Reformation retained St John's as the northern centre of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, retained their seat here, although they resided principally at Lichfield, and described themselves as Bishops of Chester when appropriate.
The date of foundation in 689AD by Æthelred King of Mercia is likely to be set aside and the date taken further back, possibly to the third or fourth centuries AD as recent scholarship is revealing much about St John's that was hitherto unknown; and it is possible that we may find that this beautiful Church is one of the oldest in Europe still used for the worship of Almighty God.
That said it is fairly clear that Æthelred did build, but on a site already in use as a Christian Centre, quite possibly by the remnants of the Celtic Church so derided by the Venerable Bede in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People (Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum).
Evidence has come to light that the Saxon Minster was built of stone and it was to this great Minster Church that King Edgar came in 973 to receive the homage of his 'Vassal' kings as Rex Anglorum – King of the English. In 1075 Bishop Peter de Leya the first Norman Bishop removed himself from Lichfield, pulled down the Saxon Minster and commenced the building of his great Cathedral, a process that took some hundreds of years.
Sir Nikolaus Pevsner said on entering St John's gave the then equivalent of 'WOW" and said "That it was like taking a walk back into the twelfth century" and he was especially taken with its fine Norman and Early English Architecture. Pevsner took the view that the Nave displays the finest example in Europe of the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic.
St John's predates Durham Cathedral by some thirteen years and one of our tasks in the years ahead is to see if we can find whether the same masons worked on both Cathedrals.
In the Middle Ages St John's was known as the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and St John the Baptist; it was supposed to own a relic of the true Cross brought back from the Crusades. It became a place of pilgrimage not only for the English and many from Gascony, but principally for the Welsh, as Edward I required the Nobility of Gwynedd to swear on the Holy Rood in St John's that they would not be in rebellion against the King and this forged a link between the Welsh and the Church. Indeed there is more Welsh Poetry written about St John's than any other Church in England notably by Gruffudd ap Maredudd ap Dafydd. Gruffudd was an Anglesey poet of the late fourteenth century, and one of the 'later Gogynfeirdd ' (poets who continued the metrical and stylistic traditions of the court poets of the Welsh princes after the English conquest of 1282).
In 1383 the Court of Chivalry sat in St John's to decide on the vexed question of which family should bear the Arms of, Azure a Bend Or – The Grosvenors or the Scropes; the Scropes won and it is perhaps ironical that the modern-day head of the Grosvenor family, HG The Duke of Westminster is, with the Lord Bishop of Chester, the Patron of St John's.
King Richard II enhanced the Cathedral Church in memory of his late Father, The Black Prince and this was not the last Royal connection as Henry VIII and Edward VI despoiled it and Elizabeth saved it; at a price – the lead from the roof. King Charles I was shot at by a sniper from the roof of the West Tower as he stood on the tower of the new cathedral to watch the battle of Rowton Moor.
In 1838 the Organ being built in London for St John's was 'borrowed' by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey for the Coronation of Queen Victoria and later in the Queen's Reign St John's, this hidden architectural gem was hidden behind a new Victorian 'skin'. The Great West Tower collapsed in 1881 and together with the ruins at the East end is now part of the Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I Listed building that is the Church of St John the Baptist, Chester.


454 shotgun sequencing was used to identify thousands of in silico microsatellite loci from two Australian freshwater turtle species (Pleurodira, Chelidae), Elseya albagula and Emydura macquarii krefftii. Twenty-nine polymorphic microsatellites were subsequently developed and tested as markers, 15 for E. m. krefftii and 14 for E. albagula. The former marker set showed greater allelic richness (mean N A = 7.7, range 3–15) than the latter (mean N A = 4.4, range 2–8). Levels of expected heterozygosity were high for both marker suites (mean H E = 0.718, range 0.177–0.875; and mean H E = 0.567, range 0.317–0.827, respectively), indicating both are suitable for studies of population genetic structure, connectivity and mating systems in these taxa. Cross-species amplification in 12 other short-necked freshwater turtle taxa highlighted the potential utility of these markers in other species, notably Emydura spp., Rheodytes leukops and Elusor macrurus.

When it comes to expert advice on lawn and garden care, Mark Cullen and Home Hardware are two names that Canadians know they can trust. That's why eieihome.com was so thrilled when our friends at Home hardware put us in touch with Mr. Cullen to get his expert advice on choosing the right lawn fertilizer.
Spring is here and the last of the winter snow should be behind us (fingers crossed). For a lot of homeowners that means it's time to start working on lawn care. And when it comes to having a green and healthy lawn, most of us don't just want to keep up with the Joneses, we want to be the Joneses.
Between weeding and feeding, sowing and mowing, taking care of your lawn does require some effort. Don't despair, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Raising a healthy, attractive lawn can be accomplished by anyone, as long as you have the right products to work with and a bit of knowhow.
Buy quality [lawn fertilizer], as it makes all of the difference.
Look for 'slow release nitrogen' as this is the element that your lawn craves the most as it emerges from winter.
High nitrogen content, about 18%, is essential for fast and long lasting results. The first number in the 3 number analysis is always nitrogen.
Chelated Iron will turn your lawn green faster than anything else.
Look for a quality product that will not stain patios and driveways.
Golfgreen Iron plus encourages so much chlorophyll in grass plants that it can appear 'blue/green' from a distance.
Apply the product at half rate in opposing directions for even distribution.
No need to water-in when applying in the spring.
For good, even distribution of your lawn fertilizer, be sure to use a rolling fertilizer spreader. Using one is as easy as pushing a mower, and it can help you achieve that healthy, evenly green lawn you desire. For tiny lawns, you may be able to opt for a handheld spreader, if desired.
As for when to apply your fertilizer, now is the time. Mark Cullen and the experts at Home Hardware say that April is the optimal time to get a jumpstart on lawncare.
However, fertilizing your lawn isn't a one time only task. A slow-release, high-iron fertilizer should be used again, approximately 6-weeks following your first application.
"Applying fertilizer twice in the spring will foster strong roots and healthy growth into the expected heat waves in July and August," Cullen says.
With outdoor living becoming increasingly important to the Canadian lifestyle, it's no wonder why so many people are devoted to creating healthy, beautiful lawns.
We're giving away a Spring Lawn and Garden gift pack from Home Hardware! Enter now for your chance to win this great bundle of lawn and garden care essentials. The winning name will be randomly drawn on Friday May 5th.

Wheat Ridge High School's nurse Rhonda Valdez, center, was recently hired with a grant to hire more school nurses and school counselors to deal with the issues surrounding the legalization of marijuana On Aug. 31, 2017 in Wheat Ridge, Valdez works with a student and his PERA on how to use an epipen.

Colorado uses $9.2 million in weed taxes for teen use prevention, health care programs
Published: Sep 4, 2017, 5:59 am • Updated: Mar 21, 2018, 10:55 am
By Monte Whaley, The Denver Post
School nurse Rhonda Valdez is on the front lines of student health at Wheat Ridge High School, treating myriad concerns — flu outbreaks, diabetes, severe allergies, body image issues, football-related concussions.
The job is rewarding and keeps her busy, but the longtime registered nurse and 18-year veteran of Jefferson County Schools is taking on a new role this fall. Valdez is among a vanguard of state-certified school nurses, social workers and counselors hired this year to try to keep marijuana out of the hands of youths.
The new positions are funded by a $9.2 million grant parceled out among 42 school districts and charter schools by the Colorado Department of Education. Money is going to districts and schools that are near legal pot shops and have created evidence-based plans to discourage underage use of marijuana, said Jeremy Meyer, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Education.
The legalization of recreational pot in Colorado in 2014 for anyone age 21 or older increased the likelihood of use by underage residents, the CDE said. Bolstering the number of qualified health care officials, including school nurses, on campuses, where they could work with students inside and outside classrooms, can help stem the tide, the agency reasoned.
"We and other school health professionals are in a unique position in our schools in that we see these kids every day and we can educate, assess and assist them with substance abuse or behavioral health issues," Valdez said. "We can help keep kids from walking through that door that can lead to bad things."
The grant money effectively eases the shortage of school nurses to treat all students in many schools.
High school teacher charged with 4 counts of marijuana distribution to minor
Chicago high school considers stiffer anti-vaping discipline, adding vapor detectors to bathrooms
More teens sneaking vaping devices into suburban Chicago high schools
Here's why parents should talk to their kids about marijuana use
Surveys Colorado uses to track youth marijuana use are flawed, critics say
Each of Colorado's 630 school nurses is responsible for as many as 6,000 students. Yet the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommends that one school nurse serve no more than 750 general education students.
The grant allows school districts to hire qualified counselors as well. Professionals are needed to administer early, comprehensive intervention that prevents later substance abuse problems, said Jon Widmier, director of student services for the Jefferson County School District.
"There is a growing need for this type of service in our schools, and we are trying to get ahead of it," Widmier said.
Jeffco Schools received $825,164 through the grant program and will hire six social emotional learning specialists to work at elementary schools and three full-time school nurses, including Valdez. The positions are funded for three years.
Valdez and others involved in the grant project admit their jobs won't be easy. Legalization of recreational use of marijuana for adults has created an almost casual approach to marijuana use that kids pick up on, they say.
"The lines have definitely been blurred," Widmier said. "There is more of a cultural acceptance of marijuana use."
There is little or no evidence that marijuana use among children has increased since use was legalized for adults. More than 5 percent of high school students in Colorado use marijuana daily or nearly daily, which has been the case at least since 2005, according to a January 2017 report from the state's Retail Marijuana Public Health Advisory Committee.
"After all, it's still illegal for high school students to use marijuana," said Mike Van Dyke, head of environmental epidemiology, occupational health and toxicology at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "You still can't go to a retail shop and buy marijuana if you are under 21. You have to get it through illegal means."
"So that," Van Dyke added, "could keep marijuana use level for those under 21."
School officials are grateful for the grant money and the services it offers. Valdez, for instance, used to rotate among three schools but can now concentrate her efforts on Wheat Ridge High School.
"That's one reason why we are so excited about this," Widmier said. "We can offer more focused support on one place."
Denver Public Schools received $871,636 under the grant program, which it will use to pay health care professionals to lead substance abuse, suicide prevention and other programs at 22 high schools and middle schools.
Educators say they see the irony in hiring health care workers using $9.2 million collected from the sales of retail and medical marijuana.
The state legislature determines how the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund is spent. However, state law requires the money go to things like health care, monitoring marijuana health effects, health education and treatment programs.
"It's an interesting life we are in right now," said Ellen Kelty, DPS's interim director of student equity and opportunity. "But anything we can do to eliminate depression and other things that cause substance abuse is a step forward."
"We just want to make sure kids make smarter choices," Kelty said.

Riding the oil price roller coaster in New Mexico
Stan Alcorn May 11, 2015
Asked where oil is being produced in Eddy County, New Mexico, Jake Marbach has a one-word answer: "Everywhere."
He qualifies that with, "everywhere in the east two thirds of the county."
There's always been oil in Eddy County. It's one of the major oil-producing counties in southeastern New Mexico, part of the Permian Basin that encompasses much of the West Texas oil patch. But in the last few years, fracking has opened up new deposits, with names like Bone Spring and Wolfcamp, and oil companies have been hiring firms like Marbach's Allied Land Services to find and purchase rights to do exploratory drilling. But fracking is also expensive, and the economic viability of any new wells rides on the price of oil. Not that Marbach was following it last year, when it was up near $100.
"I'd look at it and admired it about once a week, just happy it was where it was at," he laughs. "But as far as actually tracking it? No. We were so busy and the companies kept ordering work, I didn't pay attention to it until it really started going down."
Last fall, he watched it with increasing trepidation as it dropped to $90, $80, $70 a barrel.
"When it went below $50, that's when they started pulling the plug on a lot of these projects," he says.
That happened in January, when his oil company customers cut him off en masse. He had to fire half his staff.
"I had one young guy that moved here from Fort Worth just specifically to work for me, and I had to lay him off," he says. "That was… that was rough."
Months later, oil has crept closer to $60, and his business is just starting to come back. You can see the mood in the records room of the county clerk's office where landmen like Marbach do much of their work.
It's a room with six long narrow tables that double as bookshelves for hundreds of oversized hardbacks–full of deeds and mortgages going back to the 1800s. When oil was $100, Marbach says these tables were packed shoulder to shoulder, but now there are just four people at each, one of whom is Wesley Burnett—the guy Marbach fired.
"I mean, everyone kind of knew for a couple weeks, you know," he says of his firing. "It was like: 'When is it going to happen?'"
He spent a few unemployed weeks doing odd jobs and watching TV at home, but he's back doing land title research for oil companies. For now.
"That's also a risk, like, everyone in this courthouse is taking, doing this kind of work," he says. "They kind of know that it can end at the drop of a pin."
But the ups and downs of oil don't only impact the people who work for it. In fact, oil has kind of remade the city of Carlsbad.
The roads here are full of trucks: eighteen-wheelers hauling water and heavy equipment and pickups with oil company logos on the side or in the rear windshield. They fill the parking lots of restaurants like McAlister's and Happy's, and of the hotels that are the newest, tallest buildings in town. At least six have opened since the oil boom started.
"I would say that a good 75 percent of our guests, are tied to the oil and gas industry in some way, shape, or form," says David Burton, general manager of the Comfort Suites, which opened in October.
Oil and gas industry workers are easy to identify, from their company shirts, company trucks or company credit cards. As the oil price fell, and companies began to cut back, they also cut back their hotel reservations — and their willingness to pay top dollar.
"Our rates have come down probably close to a hundred dollars a night," says Burton. "They were about $350 and they've come down to about $250."
For permanent housing, supply has taken longer to meet demand.
"We were short on housing before the oil boom started," says Jeff Campbell, director of marketing and business development at the Carlsbad Department of Development.
That housing shortage worsened over the last five years, as the oil boom nearly doubled the population from under 30,000 to what Campbell tallies at more than 50,000 people. (This count is based on water usage and Campbell believes is more accurate than the lower Census figures.)
"Right now when the oil play is down a little bit it gives a little bit of a chance to catch up," he says.
The "catching up" comes in the form of new multifamily housing like the Copperstone Apartments, where contractors were recently spreading cement onto the last few two-story buildings.
"Oh yeah, there's a lot of work right here, bro," said Cesar Enriquez as he rinsed cement off his tools. "There's a lot of work right here and in Hobbs, too."
Hobbs is another town in New Mexican oil country — where you can be sure a lot people are hoping the oil price rebound continues.


John Ecker was 13 years old when the 1938 Hurricane struck the family restaurant near the shore of Fort Pond Bay in Montauk. In a 2012 event hosted by the East Hampton Historical Society, he recalled water surging on 80-mile-per-hour winds into their Trail's End restaurant. At the time, people on the East End knew little about this kind of storm, but some of the Montauk developer Carl Fisher's people, who had only recently been through one in Florida, did, and they had remarked at lunch that day that it appeared a hurricane was on the way.
Mr. Ecker, who later took over a Montauk insurance agency that would bear his name, died on Monday at the Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead at the age of 92 with members of his family present. He had been ill for about 14 weeks, his family said. For many years, from the mid-1950s on, Mr. Ecker filled numerous leadership positions in local Republican politics and served on East Hampton Town governing boards.
He was born on Aug. 11, 1925, in Sheppton, Pa., to John Jacob Ecker and the former Catherine Fallon. When he was about 10, the family moved to Montauk, and he graduated from East Hampton High School in 1943.
Almost immediately after high school, Mr. Ecker entered the Army, shipping out in October 1944, joining the 87th Infantry Division during World War II, and taking part in the Lorraine, France, campaign as an 81-millimeter mortar crewman. According to a report in The East Hampton Star from January 1945, then-Private Ecker was wounded in action in France. In March, The Star reported that Private Ecker was stateside, recuperating in a Long Island Army hospital. He was discharged as a corporal in January 1946.
After his military service, Mr. Ecker went on to graduate with a business degree from Fordham University in 1950. Returning to the area, he worked for a time at the Lester Motors auto dealership in East Hampton.
On Oct. 9, 1954, he and the former Eleanor LaVere married in Syracuse. The couple bought land on Marley Lane off Skimhampton Road in East Hampton that year, where they built a house. Known to friends and family as Mollie, Mrs. Ecker survives.
By the mid-1950s, Mr. Ecker became active in local politics, serving as the East Hampton Republican Party's publicity chairman as the 1957 election approached, and later as its vice president. He was a member of the East Hampton Town Planning Board from 1958 to June 1960 and was on the board of directors of the East Hampton Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Ecker was appointed an agent for the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States in 1958 and worked out of its Riverhead office covering the East Hampton area. He also worked for a time for the E.T. Dayton agency in East Hampton. He bought the Richard T. Gilmartin Insurance Agency in Montauk in 1964, renamed it John Ecker Insurance, and ran it until he retired in 2005.
Mr. Ecker was appointed to the East Hampton Town Board following a board member's resignation in 1960. He won election as a town justice of the peace that November. His brother, the late Edward Ecker Sr., was later a town supervisor.
Mr. Ecker was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. He was active at Guild Hall in East Hampton and was on the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church parish council. He was a life member of the East Hampton Lions Club and deeply committed to its charitable projects. He also was a member of the Independent Insurance Agents Association of New York.
When not working or taking part in his many community activities, Mr. Ecker made time to watch college basketball. His team was the Duke Blue Devils, and during the 1990s he traveled often to see N.C.A.A. tournaments and other games. In one stretch he saw Duke play 45 times in five years.
In addition to Mrs. Ecker, he is survived by their children, Karen Ecker of Acton, Mass., Mary Morgan of Chandler, Ariz., John J. Ecker of Water Mill, Jacqueline Jarboe of Montauk, and Charles Ecker of Danville, Calif., and five grandchildren. A brother, Msgr. Robert J. Ecker, who lives in Coronado, Calif., and Montauk, also survives.
A funeral Mass for Mr. Ecker will be said at Most Holy Trinity in East Hampton on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Burial will be in the church cemetery on Cedar Street in East Hampton.
Memorial donations have been suggested to Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 57 Buell Lane, East Hampton 11937.

}}Nabis flavomarginatus is a species of damsel bug in the family Nabidae.

Distribution
This species has a Holarctic distribution. In Europe it is found in the North and East but it is largely missing in the South West and South.In the East the distribution extends over the Palearctic to Siberia and Central Asia  and  the North of China, Japan and Korea. In the Nearctic realm, it is common in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. In 1989 it was found for the first time in the continental body of the United States (Maine). In Greenland, it is the only species in the family Nabidae conspicuously on the former settlement area of the Vikings (their introduction through this in the early Middle Ages is speculated about).

In Western and Central Europe N. flavomaculatus is boreomontane. It rises in the Alps to 2200 meters above sea level.Kerzhner, I.M. 1996. Family Joppeicidae: 2; Family Nabidae: 84-107; Family Polyctenidae: 145-147.In: Aukema, B. & Rieger, Ch. (Eds.) Catalogue of the Heteroptera of the Palaearctic Region, 2. Amsterdam : The Netherlands Entomological Society(Nederlandse Entomologische Vereniging) 1995-2006

HabitatN. flavomaculatus is found in wet, open habitats with a high  proportion of grasses (Poaceae), sedges (Cyperaceae) and rushes(Juncaceae). The species prefers micro-climatic lower temperatures than most other species of the subfamily Nabinae. It is rare in half-shady places.Nabis flavomarginatus'' lives mainly in the herbaceous layer and has a non-specific prey spectrum. Cicadas are however frequent prey according to their habitat. Overwintering occurs as the egg. The nymphs occur from May the adults (depending on the altitude) from June/July to October, until July. Late in the year, only females are observed.

21-year-old Carpenter Albert Nothdurft opened a wood-working workshop out of his parental home in his hometown of Wangen in 1927.
Just a few years saw the wood-working business turn into a successful furniture producer, and so it was in 1958 that Nothdurft took the step from tradesman's business to industrial undertaking – ALNO Möbelwerke GmbH + Co. KG in Pfullendorf.
The ground had been prepared for practical innovations, first-class quality and award-winning design.
German-manufactured kitchens soon became popular around the world and in 1969, ALNO began to expand into other European countries, arriving in the UK in 1974.
Today, with around 6,000 sales partners in 64 countries, ALNO is one of the world's leading kitchen manufacturers, thanks to a long tradition and well-founded experience.
