In an emotional Instagram post earlier today, Serena Williams took out time to count her blessings; from winning a grand slam, having a baby and getting married, 2017 sure has been good to her. She tweeted: "Fellow moms: How long did you breastfeed?"
The tennis champion isn't the only celebrity to speak out about breastfeeding.
As 2017 comes to a close, this latest bit of news is just another feather in her cap.
Alexis was born back in September, and Serena is anxious about when she should stop breastfeeding.
Another person encouraged the athlete to do "what feels right" and said she was still nursing her 17-month-old. "Enjoy! She is handsome!"
The new mum has been sharing updates from her first months with her little one.
Serena Williams was slapped with a $281 speeding ticket for allegedly driving 86 miles per hour on the highway. "What a year it has been", she began.
'She's got her visa, she's entered, she's practicing and she's probably just got to find a bit more space for a bigger entourage, ' he told the Herald Sun, adding that he trusts the 23 Grand Slam victor will be in fighting shape.

Alternative and indie music is leaving this decade looking a hell of a lot different than it did entering it, and thank god for that. With how much music has changed over the past ten years, it’s easy to forget just how synonymous the word “indie” was with a very specific brand of white, snobby music fan circa 2009. And while unfortunately there’s still plenty of narrow-minded, privileged snobbery to go around in the world of music fandom, what did change was the number of perspectives and experiences represented in the artists we listen to.
With indie’s much-needed upgrade having the entire genre looking bigger and better than ever, we’ve decided to pay tribute to some of the artists who have became the faces of indie’s latest incarnation over the past decade by helping to break open and redefine its many subgenres into spaces that champion the diverse perspectives they represent.
The project of Korean-American musician Michelle Zauner burst on the scene with 2016’s Psychopomp, but it was with Zauner’s expansive and confident follow-up album just one year last, Soft Sounds From Another Planet, for which she truly made her impact known. Soft Sounds broke the genre of shoegaze out of its long-stagnant prison of reverb; with the album elevating her vocals beyond the superficially-soothing trappings that shoegaze usually confines them to. By placing her singing and songwriting front and center, Zauner’s presence successfully reframes the themes of alienation and outsider life often associated with the shoegaze sound to reflect a fresh, intersectional perspective.
While indie pop has always approached traditional ideas of masculinity with at least some degree of subversiveness, Mike Hadreas, under the Perfume Genius moniker, spent the decade releasing a series of albums that reviled in their increasingly exuberant redefinitions of male identity and queer expression. The project’s continued challenging of indie pop’s tropes culminated in 2017 with the release of No Shape, an arty exploration into endless forms that love (and the songs we write about it) can take.
As the leader of Antony and the Johnsons, ANOHNI entered the decade already on the radar of the indie-inclined, but it wasn’t until the release of 2016’s Hopelessness, her first album since coming out as trans, that she truly tried her hand at transforming the genre into one that’s not only more inclusive in the voices present, but in the ideas that are allowed to be expressed. Despite dropping a good six months before the November election, the album – with some bombastic assistance from the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke – serves as the perfect collection of protest songs for our apocalyptic times, providing listeners with a roadmap to a zeitgeist made up of equal parts rage and hope.
On last year’s OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES, the PC Music innovator sheds her once-mysterious persona for an earnestly-explosive mediation on identity that’s been manicured for today’s age of online personas and gender fluidity. SOPHIE, joined by Montreal vocalist Cecile Believe on a number of tracks, smashes together pop and prog, rave and cabaret, to produce a collection where the defiance of categorization stands as an inspirational metaphor, one that tells us in a delightfully-danceable fashion that the best way to carry ourselves is simply by embracing who we want to be.
Coming a long way from her initial breakout, 2014’s lo-lo-fi Bury Me at Makeout Creek, Mitski has quickly risen to become one of music’s most distinct and intriguing (not to mention influential) voices in the mere seven years that she’s been pumping albums out for. Her crowning moment came on last year’s Be the Cowboy, where Mitski tackled the entire cannon of alternative music head-on to prove that the whole genre – and possibly even all of music – is so much bigger, in both sound and perspective, than the tradition of dudes whining about women they can’t have that we’ve relegated it to for too long
Indie pop and neo-soul have seemingly been on a collision course for years, but Steve Lacey – as both a member of multi-genre molecule-smashers The Internet and as one of the first artists to hop on the current wave of bedroom pop revivalism – has successfully shaken off the gimmicky coating that covered most of the early attempts at blending the two sounds (here’s looking at you, Homeshake) by infusing his craft with depth and distinction that’s rare in his contemporaries, while also reflecting with respect his identity as a queer person of colour.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Monday there may need to be additional constraints placed on America's spy agencies after a series of embarrassing disclosures about the broad scope of U.S. intelligence gathering.
President Barack Obama has full confidence in the director of the National Security Agency, General Keith Alexander, and other NSA officials, said White House spokesman Jay Carney. He added that there should be a balance between the need to gather intelligence and the need for privacy.
"We recognize there needs to be additional constraints on how we gather and use intelligence," Carney said.
A White House review of U.S. surveillance capabilities is well under way and should be completed by the end of the year, Carney said.

A new European study has found that disordered eating can have a long-term negative effect on health, such as higher body weight and lower psychological well-being, leading to researchers to emphasize the need for earlier recognition and treatment in order to avoid these negative consequences later in life.
Carried out by the University of Helsinki in Finland, the study looked into long-term effects of disordered eating, a common problem among young adults which is still poorly understood.
Disordered eating has various symptoms, such as arbitrarily deciding to eat when hungry or full, regardless of how you are feeling; weighing yourself constantly; or drinking non-caloric drinks to keep from feeling hungry, explained Ulla Kärkkäinen, one of the study’s researchers and an authorized nutritionist. Disordered eating also includes meticulously planning each meal long into the future, counting calories and weighing foods, following an excessively strict diet, or cutting certain foods from the diet claiming health or ethical reasons when the real motivation is weight loss.
To look at its health consequences, the team of researchers used data from the extensive FinnTwin 16 study, including more than 4,900 young Finnish men and women.
The participants were asked to answer questionnaires on their eating behavior, weight, health and psychological wellbeing at age 24 and again, ten years later at age 34.
The team found that disordered eating at age 24 was linked with higher body weight, larger waist circumference, and lower psychological well-being in both sexes, and a lower self-evaluation of general health in men ten years later.
“Previous research has established that low psychological wellbeing and a poor self-evaluation of health are predictors of higher susceptibility to physical illness and mortality,” commented Kärkkäinen.
“Disordered eating is often seen as harmless as it is so common,” added Kärkkäinen. “However, it seems that disordered eating may have far-reaching negative effects on the general health and wellbeing of young adults. Even if the symptoms do not constitute a clinical eating disorder, early recognition and treatment is important, also for men.”
The results can be found published online in the journal European Eating Disorders Review. JB

Whilst in Southport on my 'staycation' it was an obvious decision to visit the great city of Liverpool. I'd been to some of the historic pubs around the Georgian Quarter (The Philharomonic, Roscoe Head, Grapes and others, see here for more information) fairly recently so this time I though I'd try the city's only brewpub, The Baltic Fleet, and then take the iconic Ferry across The Mersey to an interesting/bizarre new pub & barbers(!) of which I think there are only a few in the UK (and probably the world).
View Birkenhead in a larger map
Outward travel was as follows:-
Train: Southport to Liverpool Moorfields
Ferry: Liverpool Pier Head to Birkenhead Woodside
After spending a bit of time sightseeing we headed down to the redeveloped Albert Dock area where there are now masses of tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants and chain pubs. I wonder how many know that just across the main dual carriageway in a 'funny shaped' building is a great pub called the Baltic Fleet, home of the in-house Wapping Beers.
I really like the appearance of the building - it's somewhat reminiscent of a Mississippi steam boat with multiple funnels on the top and certainly very distinctive. Inside there are 2 main rooms - a lounge/seating area away from the road (quiet today at lunchtime) and the main bar area on the other side facing the road. There were a couple of workmen around the place today, sawing & drilling away, and there's definitely been some significant redevelopment on-going. The really friendly barmaid told us that the long sweeping bar top had only been in for about 8 weeks - it really looks the part - and that it was such a relief to see the end of the temporary bar. Still present were the Baltic Fleet life-boat ring, a huge bell for last orders, displays of knot types, loads of CAMRA and other awards and (last but not least) the 7 hand-pulls.
On hand-pull today were 'only' 5 Wapping beers, to which they normally add a couple of guests at the weekend, so I had the Baggy Wrinkle - a nice light citrus ale perfect for outdoor quaffing. Food is pretty basic, either pies of various types or Scouse ('beef' stew & tatties), so I went with the Chicken Tikka pie. The workmen had stopped for their lunch so we went outside and took a seat at one of the benches in the sunshine. The pie was really tasty, if a bit dry, but a bit of HP sauce got round that problem.
This was certainly a far, far more enjoyable and interesting place to have lunch than anywhere around the Albert Dock area and I really must come back in the evening at some point when I suspect the place will be quite busy.
It was then a walk back over the dual carriageway and past the rest of the Albert Dock area and the new Museum of Liverpool to the Pier Head ferry terminal. Outwith the main rush hour period (when you can take a direct ferry) you have to take one of the River Explorer Cruises which performs a loop out to Liverpool Bay, then docks at Seacombe and then Woodside before heading back to Pier Head - the whole excursion takes about an hour. What you get are great views of the Livepool skyline and the unmistakable Royal Liver Building.
We disembarked at Woodside Terminal, Birkenhead and walked the short distance up Chester Street to Gallagher's Pub and Barbers
This is almost next door to another pub, The River View, and on a different day we would probably have stopped there due to the outside benches and the views across to Liverpool. However Gallagher's had a couple of things going for it - firstly a little blackboard across the road stating 'CAMRA Wirral Pub of the Year 2011' and secondly that striped Barbers Pole. We headed inside and found a fairly darkly wooded, long narrow place with a couple of different seating areas before the centrally located bar.
Both the windows and the inside were bedecked with Union Jacks, pictures of royalty and lots & lots of military souvenirs - some were for the Jubilee celebrations but most were because the owner had previously served in the Irish Guards before starting up a couple of barbers shops and then combining these businesses with a pub - the place really looked festive & very welcoming. The owner's wife (co-owner!) greeted us and immediately booked me in for a beer and a shave (in that order). They promote local breweries and I had a great pint of Peerless Skyline bitter brewed about 500 metres away in Birkenhead, but it was also good to see Hawkshead Lakeland Lager on tap.
Whilst waiting for the barber we headed out to the beer garden at the back, a real sun-trap in the afternoon and which seemed to attract a lot of dogs (and their owners). There weren't any views of Liverpool but the high tower of Hamilton Square Clock Tower was impressive enough.
Finally it was time to head to the barbers, located just behind the bar.
This definitely isn't a gimmick, but a fully featured barbers shop. To give the barber the most difficult test possible I had deliberately not shaved for 3 days (giving me my best terrorist impersonation) so it was going to be a full hot towel and cut-throat razor shave for me (£15 for over 40 minutes). For those interested in the minutae of these things the barber went through a fairly impressive process for me - first off a trim with an electric trimmer, lather & hot towel(#1), an initial shaping with a cut-throat razor, lather & hot towel(#2), a shave with Mach 3 razor (I blunted this), lather & hot towel(#3), a final cut-throat shave, cool towel(#1), a trim of any missed bits, cool towel(#2), some essential oils, then a face massage - really great (I was almost falling asleep at some points).
By the time that I was finished there was a queue of 2 people waiting, so business must be pretty good. The barber did say that I had been his 2nd most difficult customer of all time - always good to know that I present a challenge in some respects. I felt great at the end and I don't think my neck area had ever felt smoother. The best thing about this was that my own next couple of shaves after this were so much easier and better. It was definitely worthwhile and I would certainly recommend it, especially as a beer is on-hand when required. (Sorry there was no after photo - well there was, but I'll be impressed if anyone can get it!).
All in it was a great visit to a great pub. The pub is interesting and friendly, serves well kept, great local & further-flung beers and the barbers just gives it that additional reason to visit. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Liverpool area - this time for a beer and a haircut!

Every day we find ourselves in situations where we become emotional, it could be a situation at your workplace or your kids making a mess at home, or you losing it when a friend says something about you.
A tsunami of emotions rise up inside of you and one of them is anger.
It’s absolutely normal to feel angry but it’s also important to known what God says about your anger and how you can deal with it.
The Bible tells us that holding on to anger can lead to sin, which is why we should let go of it and clear our minds for more positive feelings like joy and gratitude.
If you’re short-tempered or you’re upset about something the Bible will give you clarity about how to work with anger.
Here are 10 reasons why you should let God remove the anger and replace it with peace and joy.
1. Anger spoils relations with others
“People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.” — Proverbs 29:22
People who are angry tend to take out their emotions on other people and cause problems and fights so its best to stay away from those people and also avoid getting angry ourselves.
2. You make wrong decisions when angry
“Don’t give in to worry or anger; it only leads to trouble.” — Psalm 37:8
When you make a decision while being angry, you might end up making the wrong decision. Never take an important decision in haste or in anger and calm down before doing anything.
3. It causes fights
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” — Proverbs 15:1
When you confront someone who is angry you will end up fighting. You should calm them down and stay calm.
4. Holding grudges
“Keep your temper under control; it is foolish to harbor a grudge.” — Ecclesiastes 7:9
Most times we are angry and react angrily because we are holding a grudge against someone and it’s completely pointless and exhausting for us.
5. Anger causes you to sin
“If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day.” — Ephesians 4:26
When we are angry, we tend to do things we would regret later. It causes us to hurt our loved ones and those around us. Get rid of the anger before you do anything.
6. You will have to pay for your actions
“But I promise you that if you are angry with someone, you will have to stand trial. If you call someone a fool, you will be taken to court. And if you say that someone is worthless, you will be in danger of the fires of hell.” — Matthew 5:22
Every action has a reaction as Newton’s law tells us. This is true also with the Bible which speaks of actions having consequences, especially if you act out of anger.
7. Act foolishly
“People with a hot temper do foolish things; wiser people remain calm.” — Proverbs 14:17
Anger is a normal feeling in some situations, but losing your temper will make you speak foolishly and respond to people in a careless manner.
8. You become negative when you’re angry
“But keep away from foolish and ignorant arguments; you know that they end up in quarrels. As the Lord’s servant, you must not quarrel. You must be kind toward all, a good and patient teacher, who is gentle as you correct your opponents, for it may be that God will give them the opportunity to repent and come to know the truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:23-25
Stay away from people who have an angry temperament and surround yourselves with calm and peace-loving people. Their negative emotions and responses can rub off on you making you a negative and angry person.
9. You are powerless
“Those who control their anger have great understanding; those with a hasty temper will make mistakes.” — Proverbs 14:29
When you let anger take control of you, then you become a slave to it and completely powerless.
10. You lose your rational thinking
“Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort.” — Ephesians 4:31
An angry person often pushes people away with their actions and words but you should choose to remain calm and talk things out rather than fighting.

The £130,000 limited-edition Jaguar XKR-S GT production run will be extended if there is enough demand for extra cars.
However, just 24 hours after the car’s unveiling at the New York motor show, Jaguar boss Adrian Hallmark confirmed that capacity was available to build an additional 20 cars if customers wanted.
“It is possible the production run will reach 50,” said Hallmark. “The initial cap was set to define the business case but, thankfully, there is room for more.”
Jaguar claims the XKR-S GT, powered by a 542bhp supercharged 5.0-litre V8, can lap the Nürburgring in under 7min 40sec, about the same time as the fastest recorded lap by the Ferrari 458 Italia.
“The real beauty of this project has been that it has extended our understanding of the elements involved in making a car go so fast, and that will feed back into all our road car programmes,” said Hallmark.


It’s that time of the year again when a mere appearance by a certain player at a minicamp could turn heads. That’s the case this Tuesday for San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel, whose presence in the Niners’ minicamp today is expected amid a trade request.
Via Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:
It has been a long road for the #49ers and Deebo Samuel. But his appearance at minicamp is noteworthy.
This comes after 49ers general manager John Lynch reiterated recently that the team has no desire of any level to let go of Samuel in a trade.
At the center of the Samuel situation is his current contract which is about to expire at the end of the 2022 NFL season. On Samuel’s part, it’s clear that he is looking for a lucrative extension, though, the 49ers have yet to offer him one. For the 49ers, they know what kind of value Samuel could bring to the table after the wideout put up incredible numbers in the 2021 NFL season.
Samuel led the 49ers in the 2021 NFL campaign with 1,405 receiving yards to go with six touchdowns on 77 receptions and 121 targets. Outside of being the top weapon downfield in San Francisco’s passing attack, Samuel also regularly moonlighted as a threat out of the backfield, having posted 365 rushing yards and a team-best eight rushing touchdowns on just 59 carries.
In any case, Samuel would be a tremendous asset for whichever team he’d suit up for by Week 1 of the upcoming season.

The legendary New York rap outfit Beastie Boys are being honoured by New York City council, who have decided to name a street after the band that has long been synonymous with them.
Per a report in PIX11, the street in question is situated in the Lower East Side, on the corner of Ludlow and Rivington streets. New York City Council have elected to rename it in order to pay homage to the band’s countless contributions to popular culture.
The street in question was made famous by the band when it was included on the cover of their iconic second album, 1989’s Paul’s Boutique. Added to the celebrations is that the new sign for the street will recognise the achievements of all three members of the band’s classic lineup; Mike D, Ad-Rock, and the late MCA, who passed away in 2012.
“As many of us know, once the Beastie Boys hit the scene, it really changed the hip-hop game,” explained New York City Council member Christopher Marte (via PIX11). “I see it as a celebration.

Authorities in the southern Vietnamese province of Hau Giang have concluded that a bacterial infection that occurred during the mixture of a chocolate drink resulted in the food poisoning of over 500 elementary students in late October.
The result of an investigation was announced by the provincial People’s Committee during a meeting on Monday afternoon.
According to reports, as part of a campaign to encourage sport and physical exercise by local students, the M.C Advertising Service Company offered a free chocolate milk to 540 pupils of Lai Hieu Elementary School, then a further 220 at Nguyen Hien Elementary School, which was distributed at approximately 7:20 am on the morning of October 27.
About an hour after drinking the flavoured milk, the students began showing symptoms of nausea.
Over 500 children from both schools were admitted to the local medical center.
About 39 suffered more severe symptoms and were given infusion as well as special medications.
All of the students were able to return home by the evening.
“Examinations revealed that the samples of chocolate milk as well as the patients’ vomit both contained Staphylococcus Aureus,” said Nguyen Thanh Tung, director of the Hau Giang Department of Health.
Staphylococcus Aureus, also known as golden staph, is a type of bacteria frequently found in the nose, along the respiratory tract, and on the skin in humans. It is a common cause of skin infections including abscesses, respiratory infections, and food poisoning.
The bacterial infection is said to have been triggered during the mixture of the drink provided by the M.C Advertising Service Company, Tung added.
According to Don Van Thanh, vice-chairman of the provincial administration, the infection was caused by human error.
The free drink program has been implemented at 38 other schools in the province without any issue, Thanh noted.
M.C Company will be asked to pay an administrative penalty and will be suspended from implementing the program until the matter is resolved.

Joseph Finder, Described by the Boston Globe as “A Master of the Modern Thriller,” Will Talk about His Latest Suspense Novel, “Guilty Minds,” on Tuesday, September 27 at 6:30 PM at the South End Library
New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder‘s first language was Farsi, but it is in the English language that he made his mark as an award-winning suspense fiction writer, with a dozen acclaimed thrillers to his name, including three (Zero Hour, High Crimes and Paranoia) that were turned into movies. Finder will be at the South End library on Tuesday, September 27, at 6:30 PM to talk about his latest conspiracy novel, Guilty Minds, a third in his Nick Heller private eye series.
In a recent interview with WBUR‘s Deborah Becker, Finder confirmed he was recruited once by the CIA, not a big surprise to him, as he was a Russian Studies major at Yale University. But when he was shown the cubicle where he would be translating Soviet economic policy reviews from Russian into English, he thought writing thrillers might be a better option. Since then, he has won the Strand Critics Award for Best Novel for Buried Secrets (2011); the International Thriller Writers Award for Best Novel for Killer Instinct (2006) and the Barry and Gumshoe Awards for Best Thriller for Company Man (2005). His 2009 Vanished introduced private spy Nick Heller, whose subsequent adventures Finder chronicled in Buried Secrets and the 2016 Guilty Minds.
Growing up in different parts of the world, Finder now lives in Boston, where some of his books are set, including the sharply drawn The Fixer and Guilty Minds. He tries to write one thriller a year, he told WBUR’s Becker, for which he limits himself to three months of research and spends the rest of the time writing the story itself. His next novel will be set in Washington DC and Boston, touches on the impact on journalism of the Internet revolution and gossip web sites, and unsuspecting characters caught in their cyber vice. After that, maybe another Nick Heller book. He likes the guy…
The South End Writes is sponsored by the Friends of the South End Library. All the events are free. Books by the speakers will be available for borrowing, sale and signing by the author. The branch is fully handicapped accessible. We serve refreshments. Seating is limited, so come early if you really want the best experience.
WGBH Commentator Callie Crossley Tells a Standing-room-Only Library Audience That Hillary’s Motivation to Become President Is “She Knows How To Do Things and Wants to Find Solutions;” Donald Trump “Just Wants to Say ‘I Won,'” but “Does Not Like Policy”
The acclaimed WGBH journalist and commentator, Callie Crossley, stood for an hour-and-a-half in a filled-to-capacity community room at the South End library last Tuesday, patiently answering questions about the current political scene, but not before she teased the enthusiastic crowd by sighing, “It’s been such a boring season.” And not until she professed her love for libraries by reading from an essay she wrote for an anthology by local authors about libraries, called Cambridge Voices: A Literary celebration of Libraries and the Joy of Reading, put together for the opening of the renovated Cambridge Public Library in 2011. “It’s impossible for libraries to disappoint me,” she said, adding she carries two library cards with her at all times.
Then the questions of the Political Gabfest began: Is Hillary lack of transparency a woman’s thing or is Hillary held to a different standard? Why are black millennials not more enthusiastic about Hillary? Why was Hillary not indicted? Why did Roger Ailes, the former CEO of Fox News, get $40 million when he was ousted over sexual harassment accusations but Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, who was harassed, only $20 million, when she had done “nothing wrong?” What motivates each of the presidential candidates? What question would Crossley ask if she were a moderator of a candidates’ debate? What will Bill Clinton do as First Fellow? What about the hacking threat by Julian Assange?
Crossley’s answers were elaborate and direct: Yes, being private is in part a woman’s thing, but that’s not the whole story. Yes, Hillary has been held to a different standard, and will continue to be. Yes, she and other African-American colleagues are very concerned about the lack of enthusiasm for Hillary among black millennials. Crossley who, like Hillary Clinton graduated from Wellesley College, bemoaned the “meh, meh” approach to voting by many young black women she talks with on college campuses, among them, she confessed, her niece. She attributes it, in part, to the millennials not having a historical context of Hillary’s decades-long dedication to families and children, which began well before this generation was even born.
As to the motivation of the candidates: For Hillary it is her desire to find solutions and her belief she knows how to get things done, Crossley said, and, no, Hillary is not power hungry. She took former Secretary of State Colin Powell to task for describing Hillary as having “unbridled ambition.” “Here is a man who became a four-star general in one of the most competitive institutions, the US Army,” said Crossley. “Yet, he accuses Hillary of being ambitious.”
Donald Trump does not like policy, Crossley believes, and suspects Trump had not expected to topple his primary opponents so easily. If he wins the election, he’ll wonder, “Now what?” she speculated. As to the question of what she would ask if she were the moderator of a presidential debate, she had her answer ready: She would want to know whether the candidates support the practice to settle with families of victims of police brutality, in return for their silence. “I get it that this is not all cops or even most cops who behave that way,” she said, “but huge amounts of taxpayers’ money have been paid out under this policy,” Crossley said, “even to families who were not asking for it.” If you are a conservative, you would not want to have funds spent that way, she added, and would want to know what causes the problem so you can fix it.
To answer a question about “First Fellow” Bill Clinton, should Hillary become president, Crossley referred to an informative CBS News report on six other First Fellows, namely the current spouses of six female governors, including New Hampshire’s Thomas Hassan and Rhode Island’s Andy Moffit. As to the threat by Julian Assange to release documents to damage the Hillary Clinton campaign, Crossley said it was “weird” but not unprecedented. There was a low-tech way to confirm gossip in office settings decades ago when she worked for ABC News, she recalled with a laugh. “It was the night cleaning lady who would tell me who was having an affair with whom,” she said. “She knew.”
Ray Brown, the “Talkin’ Birds” Show Radio Host and NPR “Weekend Edition” Contributor, Will Present a 40-Minute Slide Show about Bird Migration, Thursday, September 22, at 6:30 PM, at the SE library to Celebrate “Urban Birding”
Next Thursday, September 22, at 6:30 PM, the South End branch will be open to host a remarkable slide show by Talkin’ Birds show host Ray Brown, whose illuminating bird commentary is a regular feature on NPR’s Weekend Edition with Scott Simon on Saturday mornings. Brown, who also is a radio host on the classical music station WCRB and a well-known WGBH-TV and radio fundraiser, is a longtime South End resident. In The Magic of Migration, he will answer your birding questions: Why do birds migrate? How do they decide when — and where — to go? How do they find their way? And, is it true that one bird species has been known to fly more than 7,000 miles…non-stop? Brown will also address the many threats to birds, both during migration and on their breeding and wintering grounds, and what we can all do to help birds survive.
The bird-migration slide show accompanies the Urban Birding exhibit currently on display in the Tremont Street window of the South End library, a collaboration between USES’s Children’s Arts Centre on Rutland Street and Mass. Audubon’s Boston Nature Center (BNC). The latest Local Focus project is the fifth one sponsored by FOSEL to showcase local artists, creative entrepreneurs and non-profits in the library’s prominent window spaces. For the September exhibit, students in the CAC Vacation Arts program visited the Mattapan bird sanctuary on the former grounds of Boston State Hospital, and studied birds and the ways in which they build and maintain their nests. Inspired by their visit, the children made their own nests from natural and studio materials. Their creations, as well as nests made by actual, birds are featured in the library window.
The event is free. We serve refreshments. Seating is limited. The South End library is fully handicapped accessible.
Mass Audubon is generously offering reduced-rate annual memberships to the South End library’s patrons, which provides free access to all Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuaries and a variety of other discounts. Membership forms are available at the library.
“The South End Writes” Will Host Award-winning WGBH Commentator, Callie Crossley, and New York Times Bestselling Suspense Writer, Joseph Finder, at the South End Library on Tuesdays, September 13 and September 27, Respectively
Callie Crossley, the thoughtful, independent-minded and incisive commentator for WGBH radio and TV, will be at the South End library on Tuesday, September 13, at 6:30 PM, as the first speaker of the fifth season of FOSEL’s 2016-17 speaker series, the South End Writes.

In between, on Saturday, September 17 at noon, a last-minute booking by the South End library staff, will bring the founding publisher of Portland Magazine, novelist and playwright Colin Sargent (a relation of the Impressionist painter John Singer Sargent) with his second historical novel, Boston Castrato.
The award-winning Callie Crossley is the weekly host of the Sunday night WGBH radio program, Under the Radar, and part of the TV station’s Beat the Press team that every Friday night puts the media’s performance under its microscope and tells us what is wrong and right with it and, more importantly, why. A graduate of Wellesley College, the Memphis, Tennessee-born Cambridge resident is a frequent public speaker about issues related to gender and race as they intersect with the political scene and the Fourth Estate. She has named her September 13 talk at the South End library A Political Gabfest, during which she will field any and all of your questions after her brief analysis of the current scene.
This summer, in Crossley’s most recent achievement among many, she was awarded first place from the Public Radio News Directors Conference for her story, Tomorrow is not Promised: Life After Hurricane Katrina, which marked the ten-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In 2013 she received the Wellesley Alumnae Achievement Award. In 1988, Crossley was a producer for Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years, for which she won an Oscar nomination, a National Emmy and the Alfred Dupont Columbia Award. In addition, she received the AP, Edward R. Murrow and Clarion awards. Crossley earned a Niemann Fellowship and a fellowship from the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, among many other honors.

The two Russian hackers were found to be at the head of a group of cyber criminals with the name " Evil Corp." It's a group of cyber criminals having the notoriety to attack financial institutions, banks, companies and other private organisations as well as local authorities. Their favorite method of hacking is phishing, also known as "the phishing." According to the accusations of the American justice, the Russian group led by the two accused is said to have caused the spread of several malware around the world for 10 years now. Among the malware they allegedly leaked, we can including the Zeus, Bugat and Dridex programs. They are generally used by the phishing method behind email attachments. those software software had the particularity of stealing financial data (from bank account numbers, login credentials, secret codes, etc., etc. They then use it to rob their victims, empty their accounts fraudulently transferring their funds to the bank their. For example, the Zeus malware was used from 2009 in the U.S. to steal more than $24,000 from the Franciscan Sisters' Account based in Chicago. It has been analysed that the most recent attacks of this group date back to the month of May this year.
Maxime Iakoubetselle is considered by the U.S. judicial authorities to be the head of The Evil Corp's hacker group. He would then be "responsible for management and supervision of the group's malicious activities (…) and Igor Tourachev as one of the administrators (…) having control over the Dridex software" . Maxime Iakoubets "is a true criminal of the 21st century who, by pressing a button and clicking on his mouse, committed computer crime around the world," said Brian Benczkowski, the Minister of Justice during a press conference. "Each of the computer intrusion was actually a bank robbery assisted by computer. The latter apparently collaborated with the services (FSB) "from 2017 (…) on plans for the government," explained the U.S. Treasury.
In addition, the U.S. Treasury has put in place several sanctions to direct to 17 individuals and 7 organizations with an affinity with Evil Corp.

From the heritage breed and antibiotic-free meats, to the incredibly tasty and “junk-free” proprietary rubs and sauces, their ‘cue smoked “low and slow” is what BBQ dreams are made of.
It took practice in cooking, smoking and timing to perfect the art of barbecue, but the accolades tell the story.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. While I'm usually skeptical of "step-by-step" guides, this book is outstanding.
John Gottman is THE relationship expert in the USA. He can predict whether a couple will stay married or not with 91% accuracy - sometimes after just a few minutes with a couple. After decades of experience and research, Gottmann has published his findings in the book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. The good news is that this a book filled with helpful advice, written in regular language. There's no academic lingo or psychobabble. Just the facts, folks. Plus there are a lot of exercises and discussion starters for couples who want to dig deeper. Needless to say, it's practical stuff.
In the book Gottman argues that the most important aspect of a happy marriage is fostering a deep friendship (19-20). Basically this means the couple needs to respect, enjoy, and understand each other. Plus it's important to avoid criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling (27). Beyond these basic concepts, here are the seven core principles that Gottam has found that help prevent divorce and strengthen marriage:

"...emotionally intelligent people are intimately familiar with each other's world" (48).
2. Nurture Your Fondness and Admiration
"...fondness and admiration can be fragile unless you remain aware of how crucial they are to the friendship that is at the core of any good marriage" (65).
3. Turn Toward Each Other Instead of Away
"...real-life romance...is kept alive each time you let your spouse know he or she is valued during the grind of everyday life" (80).
4. Let Your Partner Influence You
"...when a husband accepts his wife's influence, his open attitude also heightens the positive in his relationship by strengthening his friendship with his wife" (106).
5. Solve Your Solvable Problems
"...when a husband and wife respect each other and are open to each other's point of view, they have a good basis for resolving any difference that arise" (157).
6. Overcoming Gridlock
"They define the minimal core areas that they cannot yield on...They define their areas of flexibility...The devise a temporary compromise that honors both of their dreams" (236).
7. Shared Meaning Making
"The culture that they develop together incorporates both of their dreams. And it is flexible enough to change as husband and wife grow and develop" (244).

From the south coast to the north, I saw the highlights of Cuba with which we are all familiar: classic cars, musicians, cigars, and architecture.
But what about the everyday experience for the Cuban?
Today we take to the streets to see what life is like for the working Joe and Jane.
Or Jose and Juana.
In the south coast city of Trinidad, where I spent half my time, horses transporting people and goods is a common sight.
With horses come cowboys. Here’s one who makes sugarcane juice at a tourist destination outside Trinidad.
And with the tourists come the souvenir shops.
As well as street musicians adding positive energy to the air.
Ordinary life here includes getting online, as these young Trinidadians are doing in one of two public WiFi hotspots in the city. For all practical purposes, home and mobile internet do not exist for Cubans.
Because internet access is restricted, you’re more likely to see locals conversing in the streets.
Or playing soccer in a school yard.
Here is a crew taking a break from a remodeling job in Trinidad. One day soon, this will be a new bar.
On top of a city building, here’s a roofer.
And on the streets below, a guy working on his car.
Another cowboy poses for a photo. He gives tours out to a nearby waterfall.
Many Cubans make a few side pesos by selling items out of their home.
This guy offers haircuts.
This lady tailors.
This one makes hats.
And this young lady works at a juice bar.
While some stores are regularly short on goods. Some are plentiful. This one offers meat.
And here are the beverages.
A local pharmacy sees a line forming.
Meanwhile, a school room sits empty during the winter break.
It’s a more leisurely lifestyle in Trinidad, no doubt about it.
On New Year’s Eve, neighbors around my guesthouse came out in full force as the clock neared midnight.
The second half of my Cuban journey took place in the capital city and heart of the island, Havana. Life here was similar as Trinidad with a few urban upgrades, such as phone booths.
And exercise parks.
More and better gas stations.
And hard hats for the construction workers.
Car repairs still took place on the streets, though.
Forgoing the hassle of a vehicle, this ice cream man uses his bike.
Soccer matches played on the streets as well.
This Havana barber offered a more urban flavor.
Similarly, these schoolchildren boasted their fashion sense.
While youth chilled in the park to access the WiFi, senior men chilled to a game of dominoes.
Religion is making a comeback in Cuba. On a Sunday in Havana, I sat in on a Mass.
And on the eve of my departure from this island, I went to the top floor of a downtown hotel to buy some expensive orange juice. Oh, and take in some final views of this city and country.
As I presented a couple of Saturdays back, Cuba is a culture of great opposites. The people radiate positivity and warmth, and they reveal such heart in their music, art, and dance. But this expression is muffled by a powerful government whose policies restrict speech and the economy. Limited in money and voice, Cubans struggle in sharing their culture and spirit with those outside their country.
Best to just travel there yourself.
Next time I share how you can do so.

At last week’s National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, I had the opportunity to talk with suppliers about how and why precision farming dealer networks are evolving in the industry.
From the major equipment manufacturers to the ag technology specific companies, nearly every one acknowledged the ongoing transition in the roles and responsibilities of precision specialists as frontline faces for sales and service within a dealership.
But one of the challenges to this evolution is keeping some farm customers from falling too far behind the adoption curve. Gregg Sauder, founder of 360 Yield Center, noted a troubling trend he is seeing in the ag industry with a growing divide between those farmers who have embraced ag technology from the start and those who have yet to integrate it into their operation.
“My concern is this. I’m seeing a separation. The really aggressive, early adapters of technology — they are moving quite a ways ahead of let’s say our average grower. My quest and the challenge for our team is, how do we make sure this deviation difference (doesn’t increase) and (to grow) profitability, how we bring that average grower, that’s maybe not even looking for technology — how do we bring him up into that realm? We cannot let this separation get any wider. And so I see it. I struggle with it from that aspect. I want everyone to be profitable. I want every farm family to have a great year. So that’s the quest we’re on.”
Sauder added that proving return on investment with technology is at the core of closing the precision gap and creating a more competitive landscape for those farmers who today, may be struggling with finding more profitable methods to increase productivity.

Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone 5, with the long awaited handset entering the realms of reality with an all new form factor and the repeatedly leaked 4-inch Retina display.
Unveiled during the company’s San Francisco based launch event, the iPhone 5 release date has been confirmed with the iPhone 4S follow-on lining up slimmer than its predecessors at just 7.6mm thick. It will hit retailers in the coming weeks.
Long the thing of rumour and speculation, Apple’s hotly anticipated sixth-generation smartphone was formally unveiled by Phil Schiller with the Apple head describing the handset as “a monumental challenge.” Teasing the iPhone 5 release, Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted at the device stating that Apple was “making a huge leap” and taking the iPhone brand to “the next level.” Schiller proudly added: “Today we’re introducing iPhone 5.”
Running the WWDC unveiled iOS 6 operating system as expected, the iPhone’s first change in screen size since the original handset’s launch back in 2007 sees Apple target the rise in oversized Android handsets, with the iPhone 5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S3 battle set to be one of the most hotly contested tech battles in recent memory.
Apple iPhone 5 Design
Apple’s first dramatic design overhaul since the 2010 launch of the iPhone 4, the iPhone 5 lines up with an all new 4-inch Retina display, up from a previous 3.5-inch standard, whilst the handset slims down, dropping from the iPhone 4’s relatively plump 9.3mm thickness to a new, svelte 7.6mm in size.
This new, slimmer, body is helped in part by the handset’s move from Apple’s classic 30-pin dock connector to a new, more compact and faster 8-pin dock offering. Sure to be a contentious move considering the amount of Apple accessories sold with the now dated docking port, the new 8-pin system, dubbed Lightning, looks set to become Apple’s new standard with the much rumoured iPad mini tipped to sport the revised component when unveiled later this year.
On the new 8-pin Lightning connector, Schiller added: “So a lot has changed, and it’s time for the connector to evolve. Our new connector is called Lightning. So we have Thunderbolt and Lightning.”
Further design alterations see the ultra sleek and sexy, albeit rather fragile, glass back from the iPhone 4 and 4S make way for a new, metal backed offering that is sure to spark a flurry of imitators. As detailed in a number of pre-release iPhone 5 rumours, Apple has moved the handset’s customary 3.5mm audio jack from the handset’s upper edge to the bottom panel.
Talking on the iPhone 5’s new form, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Designer Jony Ive stated: “iPhone 5 is the result of this approach. For the first time ever, we’ve increased the size of the display. You can see more of your content, but still comfortably use it with your hand.”
Whilst the iPhone 4S was a steppingstone upgrade on the iPhone 4, the iPhone 5 is an all new beast in its own right with a broad array of high-end innards included to put the device firmly atop the smartphone standings.
With the new 4-inch Retina display playing host to a visually impressive 1136 x 640p image resolution, alongside a 16:9 aspect ratio and the Retina display mandated 326PPI image density, the iPhone lines up as a must have for anyone looking to enjoy video content on the move.
Describing the new iPhone 5 display, Apple’s Schiller said: “This is the most accurate display in the industry. The touch sensors are integrated right into the display itself. We removed a layer and made it sharper. This is the world’s most advanced display, and I couldn’t be prouder of it.”
Elsewhere, contrary to reports that the handset would sport the same A5X CPU as the iPad 3, the newly unveiled Apple iPhone 5 will be heading to market as a direct HTC One X competitor with a new A6 processor in tow. Two times faster than the A5 chip, the A6 iPhone 5 processor is also touted as offer graphics twice as speedy as its predecessor.
Maintaining an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera, the iPhone 5’s main snapper is yet another improvement on its iPhone 4S sibling. Dubbed the iSight camera, the iPhone 5 offering boasts a dynamic low light mode with a hybrid IR filter and an f/2.4 aperature. Elsewhere, the 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera is further bolstered by 1080p Full HD video recording and sees its front-facing counterpart moved from its formerly off-centre location to a new, pride of place, centralised location directly above the handset’s speaker whilst adding 720p HD video capture.
As with recent iPhone releases, the iPhone 5 launch has seen Apple out six handset variations with each of the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage capacities to be made available in both the trademark black and now customary white colour forms.
Appeasing many, Apple has also confirmed that it is to launch an iPhone 5 4G LTE handset that will be made available to global markets. Following yesterday’s UK 4G launch as Everything Everywhere rebranded as EE, Apple has revealed that UK consumers looking to snap up the high-speed handset will be able to get the iPhone 5 4G on EE.
As with previous iPhone launches, Apple has confirmed that its latest handset will be with us sooner rather than later with an iPhone 5 UK release date officially set for next Friday, September 21st.
Hitting retailers just nine days after being formally unveiled, the iPhone 5 release date will see the handset launch in the UK and US simultaneously with Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore also set to be offered the eagerly awaited device on September 21st.
Continuing the global rollout, Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 5 will be made available across 100 countries and 240 carries by the end of the year.
The hottest handset launch of the year, large queues are once again expected to form outside Apple stores in the days leading up to the iPhone 5 release date as eager fans look to become the first to get their hands on the already iconic device. For those looking to ensure their iPhone 5 ahead of time, Apple has confirmed that iPhone 5 pre-orders will kick off later this week on September 14th.
With Apple revealing that iPhone 5 pre-orders will kick off on September 14th, the Cupertino based company has also confirmed iPhone 5 UK prices with the 16GB iteration of the eagerly awaited handset to set wannabe owners back the princely sum of £529, up on the £499 launch price of the equivalently sized iPhone 4S.
With no price discrepancies between the black and white models, the larger capacity iPhone 5 devices play host to their usual incremental price hikes with the 32GB option to set wannabe owners back £599 on a SIM-free basis whilst the 64GB offering will cost a hefty £699.
Although a raft of UK networks are set to stock the upcoming device, subsidised iPhone 5 prices and contract allowances have yet to be confirmed.
Has the iPhone 5 lived up to the hype and met all of your expectations or are you disenchanted by the reality of Apple’s latest-generation smartphone? Let us know via the comments boxes below or through the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds.

It's the interface, stupid
One little thing I wanted to blog yesterday but got trapped between politics and an obituary, the importance of the user interface and the contrast between its importance in the success of something and how people overlook it when creating things.
The technologue knows one thing: people do not interact with technology, never. They interact with interfaces. This explains why good technologies with bad interfaces have little chance to succeed, while bad technologies with good interfaces can take off.
In the people's web, Drew McLellan shows us his passion for making a better web ( like a web that uses standards) and how important it is to get people, as much as possible, put their content online without bearing the burden of technology barriers:
… the world needs badly made websites and the people who make them. Anyone who wants to publish their stuff on the web should be wholeheartedly encouraged. Sure, gently guide them to good practice if that’s possible but don’t let it get in the way. We’ll cope. We have technology. Let them get their stuff online and sod the rest.
Ultimately it’d be great if there was a low-cost general page building tool that got things right. Dreamweaver is close to getting this right (there’s still a way to go), but it’s reet expensive. FrontPage will never get there because it’s always meeting Microsoft’s agenda. I guess we need an easy-to-use open source visual web editor that understands the importance of web standards – but hey, we don’t need it that much.
I disagree on only one little point, we actually do need it that much! I strongly believe that until someone gets out with a real good and pervasive visual editor that completely hides the complexity of the tag soup, shows content to the user and outputs kocher tag soup, the semantic web will remain an elite playground.
Do you think Typepad’s apparent simplicity and approachability will help push blogs into the mainstream, or are “pay-to-blog” systems (like Typepad and Blogger Pro) forever relegated to the hard core crew?
I think that the success of weblogs is precisely and primarily due to the progress made by tools like MT and Blogger as being simple, usable interfaces between people and the web. If my mother-in-law can use a weblog to publish her site, while she has not been able to do so with pay-for tools and her ISP, no wonder why there has been a spike in micro-content publishing with weblogs and why we'll see even more growth with free or cheap weblogs in ASP mode lifting the monkey business of hosting their site away from people who couldn't care less.
It's the interface, stupid!

Frog & Owl is a webcomic collection by the talented Molly Lawless. Lawless is best known for her baseball history strips that combine a nice, tight line with a wry take on baseball's less glamourous moments. Her upcoming book, Hit By Pitch, will go into detail about one of the sport's darkest hours. While not drawing men in ill-fitting uniforms holding bats, she lets off steam with her webcomic, which is entirely continuity-free. The titular characters are essentially a joke-delivery system: sometimes they're lovers, sometimes they work together, sometimes they're strangers and sometimes they're enemies. The strip is an excuse for Lawless to draw some funny-looking animals doing silly things while dropping bon mots.
Lawless works strictly in pencil, and the simplicity of her characters allows her to add all sorts of detail around them. There's one strip where Owl is wrapped up in a quilt that has a delicate checkerboard pattern. There's another strip where Lawless comments on the simplicity of her figures by drawing naturalistic versions of her characters who note that "something is amiss". Most of the strips don't rely on visuals to tell the joke; Lawless simply makes each strip nice to look at as a matter of course. In many respects, Frog & Owl is a throwback strip, something that might have appeared in the newspaper forty years ago in terms of its size and aesthetic qualities. Of course, by throwing out any sense of continuity, Lawless simply makes it about the gag every time, slapping a different story on these two blank slate characters in every strip. As far as the quality of the gags themselves, Lawless has a pretty good hit to miss ratio, with most of them being pleasant chuckles rather than laugh-out-loud guffaws. Frog and Owl is the epitome of pleasant if forgettable, though if no particular strip was especially memorable, I still wanted to read more of them.


Reports are the Houston Texans are interviewing Louis Reddick for the GM job.
Louis Reddick is interviewing for the vacant Houston Texans general manager opening per various media reports on Wednesday. Reddick is currently an analyst for Monday Night Football.
Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted this morning that Reddick was interviewing with the Texans on Wednesday, and then Reddick also had a scheduled meeting with the Detroit Lions on Friday for the same position.
The Texans must find the right person to fill the GM spot which formally was held by Bill O’Brien before he was fired from that spot and as the head coach following an 0-4 start to the regular season. The Texans have since been eliminated from playoff contention, won’t three-peat as AFC South champions, and are currently 4-9 overall.
Since O’Brien was fired as general manager, the Texans are 4-5 with Romeo Crennel as the interim head coach, and Jack Easterby helping with decisions in the front office.
Houston Texans News: Louis Reddick would make the franchise better in 2021
Louis Reddick is a former safety in the NFL, and is one of the very best analysts in all of NFL media. He’s also been a pro scout and formally was Director of Player Personnel while with the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Reddick has the experience needed to be the general manager of the Texans, and he’d be entering a tough spot for the 2021 NFL Draft with the Houston Texans not having a pick currently until the third round.
The positives for Louis Reddick is he has a franchise quarterback already with that being Deshaun Watson, and a franchise left tackle in Laremy Tunsil. There is also the right tackle Tytus Howard who should be a member of the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, but rebuilding other aspects of the roster will take someone like Reddick who knows his football.
Another aspect with Louis Reddick is he knows what it takes to be a pick late in the draft and to have success in the NFL, which is how teams build rosters in the first place. Reddick was a former ninth round pick, and knowing the struggles and hard work that it takes to stay on a NFL roster after being selected late in the draft has to go a long way when scouting players.
This is just a reported interview, but it is an important step for the Texans in moving away from the 2020 season and into preparing for the 2021 season. This could be an interview with Louis Reddick that changes the fortunes for the Texans for many years to come.

Detectives have identified "persons of interest" in connection to the Monday morning robbery and will meet with the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday afternoon to discuss their next moves, said Blackman-Leoni Township Public Safety Director Mike Jester.
"It's a complex investigation, and I wouldn't want to speculate," Jester said when asked if the people of interest are connected to other recent robberies in Jackson County. "We also don't want to jeopardize anything we're working on."
The investigation is still fluid, Jester said. Detectives were out Tuesday morning conducting follow-up work to Monday's search warrant.
Just after it opened Monday morning, the Aeroquip Credit Union branch on Laurence Avenue was robbed. After the robbery, police released little information.
The Major Crimes Task Force, made up of detectives from Blackman-Leoni, the Jackson Police Department, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and the Michigan State Police, investigated the robbery throughout the day, Jester said. Their investigation led them to a house at 101 Francis Court to execute a search warrant.
"They went there knowing that they weren't just going to bust in the door," Jester said.
After arriving and assessing the situation, the detectives decided to ask for assistance. The Jackson County Special Response Team, a tactical unit made up of city police officers and county sheriff's deputies, and members of the Blackman-Leoni Township Public Safety Emergency Service Unit, responded about 4:30 p.m. and staged near the house. Michigan State Police troopers assisted, and an FBI agent was at the scene.
Police blocked off Francis Street between High and Robinson streets. An ambulance waited nearby. Snipers set up in the middle of Francis and kept rifles trained on the house for hours. A large crowd gathered outside the yellow police tape to watch. One man was arrested for disorderly conduct after repeatedly yelling from the crowd to police.
After about an hour, a rectangular object was thrown into a window of the house. Throughout the night, several loud bangs were heard coming from the area. While Jackson Police Lt. Elmer Hitt, the commander of the county's SRT unit, would not go into detail about the team's tactics, he said the noises were not gunshots.
"Not knowing if someone was inside the house, we took precautions to make sure the search warrant was executed safely and all the officers went home," Jester said Tuesday morning.
After at least four hours, the SRT unit went into the house and found it was empty, Jester said. With the house cleared, police took down the tape and re-opened the area about 9 p.m. Detectives completed their search of the house and continued with their investigation, Jester said.
Jester would not say what, if anything, was taken from the house or what detectives were looking for at the house. He would not give details about the people identified by detectives in the investigation. More information could be made public after the afternoon meeting with the prosecutor's office, Jester said.
