Charles Evans Hughes, Sr. (April 11, 1862 – August 27, 1948) was an American statesman, lawyer, and Republican politician from New York. He served as the 36th Governor of New York (1907–1910), Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (1910–1916), United States Secretary of State (1921–1925), a judge on the Court of International Justice (1928–1930), and the 11th Chief Justice of the United States (1930–1941). He was the Republican nominee in the 1916 U.S. Presidential election, losing narrowly to incumbent President Woodrow Wilson.
Hughes was a professor in the 1890s, a staunch supporter of Britain's New Liberalism, an important leader of the progressive movement of the 20th century, a leading diplomat and New York lawyer in the days of Harding and Coolidge, and was known for being a swing voter when dealing with cases related to the New Deal in the 1930s. Historian Clinton Rossiter has hailed him as a leading American conservative.
Early life and education
Charles Evans Hughes was born in Glens Falls, New York, the son of a Welsh immigrant minister Rev. David C. Hughes and Mary C. (Connelly) Hughes, a sister of State Senator Henry C. Connelly (1832–1912). He was active in the Northern Baptist church, a Mainline Protestant denomination.
Hughes' early education included attending Lafayette School in Newark, NJ. At the age of 14, he enrolled at Madison University (now Colgate University), where he became a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity. He then transferred to Brown University, continuing as a member of Delta Upsilon. He graduated third in his class at the age of 19, having been elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year. He read law and entered Columbia Law School in 1882, where he graduated in 1884 with highest honors.
In 1885, Hughes met Antoinette Carter, the daughter of a senior partner of the law firm where he worked, and they were married in 1888. They had one son, Charles Evans Hughes Jr. and three daughters. Their youngest child, Elizabeth Hughes Gossett, was one of the first humans injected with insulin, and later served as president of the Supreme Court Historical Society. Hughes was the grandfather of Charles Evans Hughes III and H. Stuart Hughes.
Legal and academic career
After graduating Hughes began working for Chamberlain, Carter & Hornblower where he met his future wife. In 1888, shortly after he was married, he became a partner in the firm, and the name was changed to Carter, Hughes & Cravath. Later the name was changed to Hughes, Hubbard & Reed. In 1891, Hughes left the practice of law to become a professor at Cornell Law School. In 1893, he returned to his old law firm in New York City to continue practicing until he ran for governor in 1906. He continued his association with Cornell as a special lecturer at the Law School from 1893 to 1895. He was also a special lecturer for New York University Law School, 1893–1900.
At that time, in addition to practicing law, Hughes taught at New York Law School with Woodrow Wilson, who would later defeat him for the Presidency. In 1905, he was appointed as counsel to the New York state legislative "Stevens Gas Commission", a committee investigating utility rates. His uncovering of corruption led to lower gas rates in New York City. In 1905, he was appointed to the Armstrong Insurance Commission to investigate the insurance industry in New York as a special assistant to U.S. Attorney General.
Governor of New York
Hughes served as the Governor of New York from 1907 to 1910. He defeated William Randolph Hearst in the 1906 election, and was the only Republican statewide candidate to win office. An admirer of Britain's New Liberal philosophy, Hughes campaigned on a platform to improve the state of New York's standard of living by moving it away from laissez-faire tradition and enacting social reforms similar to that which had been enacted in Britain. As a supporter of progressive policies, Hughes was able to play on the popularity of Theodore Roosevelt and weaken the power of the state's conservative Republican officials. In 1908, he was offered the vice-presidential nomination by William Howard Taft, but he declined it to run again for Governor. Theodore Roosevelt became an important supporter of Hughes.
As the Governor, Hughes produced important reform legislation in three areas: improvement of the machinery and processes of government; extension of the state's regulatory authority over businesses engaged in public services; and expansion of governmental police and welfare functions. To counter political corruption, he secured campaign laws in 1906 and 1907 that limited political contributions by corporations and forced candidates to account for their receipts and expenses, legislation that was quickly copied in fifteen other states. He pushed the passage of the Moreland Act, which enabled the governor to oversee city and county officials as well as officials in semi-autonomous state bureaucracies. This allowed him to fire many corrupt officials. He also managed to have the powers of the state's Public Service Commissions increased and fought strenuously, if not completely successfully, to get their decisions exempted from judicial review.
When two bills were passed to reduce railroad fares, Hughes vetoed them on the grounds that the rates should be set by expert commissioners rather than by elected ones. His ideal was not government by the people but for the people. As Hughes put it, "you must have administration by administrative officers."
Hughes, however, would be unsuccessful in achieving one of his main goals as governor: primary voting reform. Hoping to achieve a compromise with the state's party bosses, Hughes rejected the option of a direct primary in which voters could choose between declared candidates and instead proposed a complicated system of nominations by party committees. The state's party bosses, however, rejected this compromise and the state legislature rejected the plan on three occasions in 1909 and 1910.
On social issues, Hughes strongly supported relatively limited social reforms. He endorsed the Page-Prentice Act of 1907, which set an eight-hour day and forty-eight-hour week for factory workers—but only for those under the age of sixteen. By employing the well-established legal distinction between ordinary and hazardous work, the governor also won legislative approval for a Dangerous Trades Act that barred young workers from thirty occupations. To enforce these and other regulations, in 1907 Hughes reorganized the Department of Labor and appointed a well-qualified commissioner. Two years later, the governor created a new bureau for immigrant issues in the Department of Labor and appointed reformer Frances Kellor to head it.
In his final year as the Governor, he had the state comptroller draw up an executive budget. This began a rationalization of state government and eventually it led to an enhancement of executive authority. He also signed the Worker's Compensation Act of 1910, which required a compulsory, employer-paid plan of compensation for workers injured in hazardous industries and a voluntary system for other workers; after the New York Court of Appeals ruled the law unconstitutional in 1911, a popular referendum was held that successfully made the law an amendment in the New York Constitution.
In 1908, Governor Hughes reviewed the clemency petition of Chester Gillette concerning the murder of Grace Brown. The governor denied the petition as well as an application for reprieve, and Gillette was electrocuted in March of that year.
When Hughes left office, a prominent journal remarked "One can distinctly see the coming of a New Statism ... [of which] Gov. Hughes has been a leading prophet and exponent". In 1926, Hughes was appointed by New York Governor Alfred E. Smith to be the chairman of a State Reorganization Commission through which Smith's plan to place the Governor as the head of a rationalized state government, was accomplished, bringing to realization what Hughes himself had envisioned.
In 1909, Hughes led an effort to incorporate Delta Upsilon fraternity. This was the first fraternity to incorporate, and he served as its first international president.
On April 25, 1910, President William H. Taft nominated Hughes for Associate Justice to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice David J. Brewer. The Senate confirmed the nomination on May 2, 1910, and Hughes received his commission the same day. As an associate justice of the Supreme Court from 1910 to 1916, Hughes remained an advocate of regulation and authored decisions that weakened the legal foundations of laissez-faire capitalism. He also mastered a new set of issues regarding the Commerce Clause and, in a deliberately restrained manner, wrote constitutional decisions that expanded the regulatory powers of both the state and federal governments.
He wrote for the court in Bailey v. Alabama 219 U.S. 219 (1911), which held that involuntary servitude encompassed more than just slavery, and Interstate Commerce Comm. v. Atchison T & SF R Co. 234 U.S. 294 (1914), holding that the Interstate Commerce Commission could regulate intrastate rates if they were significantly intertwined with interstate commerce.
On April 15, 1915 in the case of Frank v. Mangum, the Supreme Court decided (7-2) to deny an appeal made by Leo Frank's attorneys, and instead upheld the decision of lower courts to sustain the guilty verdict against Frank. Justice Hughes and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. were the two dissenting votes.
Hughes resigned from the Supreme Court on June 10, 1916, to be the Republican candidate for President in 1916. He is the last sitting Supreme Court justice to surrender his or her seat to run for elected office. He was also endorsed by the Progressive Party, thanks to the support given to him from former President Theodore Roosevelt. Other Republican figures such as former President William Howard Taft endorsed Hughes and felt the accomplishments he made as Governor of New York would establish him as formidable progressive alternative to Wilson. Many former leaders of the Progressive Party, however, endorsed Wilson because Hughes opposed the Adamson Act, the Sixteenth Amendment and diverted his focus away from progressive issues during the course of the campaign. Hughes was defeated by Woodrow Wilson in a close election (separated by 23 electoral votes and 594,188 popular votes). The election hinged on California, where Wilson managed to win by 3,800 votes and its 13 electoral votes and thus was returned for a second term; Hughes had lost the endorsement of the California governor and Roosevelt's 1912 Progressive running mate Hiram Johnson when he failed to show up for an appointment with him.
Despite coming close to winning the presidency, Hughes did not seek the Republican nomination again in 1920. Hughes also advocated ways to prevent the return of President Wilson's expanded government control over important industries such as the nation's railroads, which he felt would lead to the eventual destruction of individualism and political self-rule. After Robert LaFollette's Progressive Party advocated the return of such regulations during the 1924 US Presidential election, Hughes shifted rightwards believing that the federal bureaucracy should now have limited powers over individual liberties and property rights and that common law should be strictly enforced.
Secretary of State
Hughes returned to government office in March 1921 as Secretary of State under President Harding. On November 11, 1921, Armistice Day (later changed to Veterans Day), the Washington Naval Conference for the limitation of naval armament among the Great Powers began. The major naval powers of Britain, France, Italy, Japan and the United States were in attendance as well as other nations with concerns about territories in the Pacific — Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and China.
The American delegation was headed by Hughes and included Elihu Root, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Oscar Underwood, the Democratic minority leader in the Senate. The conference continued until February 1922 and included the Four-power pact (December 13, 1921), Shantung Treaty (February 4, 1922), Five-Power Treaty, the Nine-Power Treaty (February 6, 1922), the "Six-power pact" that was an agreement between the Big Five Nations plus China to divide the German cable routes in the Pacific, and the Yap Island agreement.
Hughes continued in office after Harding died and was succeeded by Coolidge, but resigned after Coolidge was elected to a full term. On June 30, 1922, he signed the Hughes–Peynado agreement that ended the United States's six-year occupation of Dominican Republic.
In 1907, Gov. Charles Evans Hughes became the first president of the newly formed Northern Baptist Convention—based at Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, DC, of which Hughes was a member. He also served as President of the New York State Bar Association.
After leaving the State Department, he again rejoined his old partners at the Hughes firm, which included his son and future United States Solicitor General Charles E. Hughes Jr., and was one of the nation's most sought-after advocates. From 1925 to 1930, for example, Hughes argued over 50 times before the U.S. Supreme Court. From 1926 to 1930, Hughes also served as a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and as a judge of the Permanent Court of International Justice in The Hague, Netherlands from 1928 to 1930. He was additionally a delegate to the Pan American Conference on Arbitration and Conciliation from 1928 to 1930. He was one of the co-founders in 1927 of the National Conference on Christians and Jews, now known as the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ), along with S. Parkes Cadman and others, to oppose the Ku Klux Klan, anti-Catholicism, and anti-Semitism in the 1920s and 1930s.
In 1925–1926, Charles Evans Hughes represented the API (American Petroleum Institute) before the FOCB (Federal Oil Conservation Board).
In 1928 conservative business interests tried to interest Hughes in the Republican presidential nomination of 1928 instead of Herbert Hoover. Hughes, citing his age, turned down the offer.
Herbert Hoover, who had appointed Hughes's son as Solicitor General in 1929, appointed Hughes Chief Justice of the United States on February 3, 1930. Hughes was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 13, 1930, and received commission the same day, serving in this capacity until 1941. Hughes replaced former President William Howard Taft, a fellow Republican who had also lost a presidential election to Woodrow Wilson (in 1912) and who, in 1910, had appointed Hughes to his first tenure on the Supreme Court.
Hughes' appointment was opposed by progressive elements in both parties who felt that he was too friendly to big business. Idaho Republican William E. Borah said on the United States Senate floor that confirming Hughes would constitute "placing upon the Court as Chief Justice one whose views are known upon these vital and important questions and whose views, in my opinion, however sincerely entertained, are not which ought to be incorporated in and made a permanent part of our legal and economic system." In addition to his politics, at 67, Hughes was the oldest man ever nominated as Chief Justice. Nonetheless Hughes was confirmed as Chief Justice with a vote of 52 to 26.
Hughes as Chief Justice swore in President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, 1937 and 1941.
Upon his return to the court, more progressives had joined the bench. Hughes seemed determined again to vote progressive and soon bring an end to the longstanding pro-business Lochner era. During his early years as Chief Justice, however, the fear he had developed for an overblown bureaucracy during World War I undermined his optimism. Showing his old progressive image, he upheld legislation protecting civil rights and civil liberties and wrote the opinion for the Court in Near v. Minnesota 283 U.S. 697 (1931), which held prior restraint against the press is unconstitutional. Concerning economic regulation, he was still willing to uphold legislation that supported "freedom of opportunity" for individuals on the one hand and the "police power" of the state on the other but did not personally favor legislation that linked national economic planning and bureaucratic social welfare together. At first resisting Roosevelt's New Deal and building a consensus of centrist members of the court, Hughes used his influence to limit the collectivist scope of Roosevelt's changes and would often strike down New Deal legislation he felt was poorly drafted and did not clearly specify how they were constitutional. By 1935, Hughes felt the court's four conservative Justices had disregarded common law and sought to curb their power.
Hughes was often aligned with the court's three liberal Justices — Louis Brandeis, Harlan Fiske Stone, and Benjamin Cardozo — in finding some New Deal measures (such as the violation of the gold clauses in contracts and the confiscation of privately owned monetary gold) constitutional. On one occasion, Hughes would side with the conservatives in striking down the New Deal's Agricultural Adjustment Act in the 1936 case United States v. Butler, which held that the law was unconstitutional because its so-called tax policy was a coercive regulation rather than a tax measure and the federal government lacked authority to regulate agriculture. But surprisingly he did not assign the majority opinion, a practice usually required for court's most senior justice who agrees with the majority opinion, and allowed Associate Justice Owen Roberts to speak for the entire majority in his own words. It was accepted that he did not agree with the argument that the federal government lacked authority over agriculture and was going to write a separate opinion upholding the act's regulation policy while striking down the act's taxation policy on the grounds that it was a coercive regulation rather than a tax measure. However, Roberts convinced Hughes that he would side with him and the three liberal justices in future cases pertaining to the nation's agriculture that involved the Constitution's General Welfare Clause if he agreed to join his opinion.
By 1936, Hughes sensed the growing hostility in the court and could do little about it. In the 1936 case Carter v. Carter Coal Company, Hughes took a middle ground for doctrinal and court-management reasons. Writing his own opinion, he joined the three liberal justices in upholding the Bituminous Coal Conservation Act's marketing provision but sided with Roberts and the four conservatives in striking down the act's provision that regulated local labor. By 1937, as the court leaned more in his favor, Hughes would renounce the position he took in the Carter case regarding local labor and ruled that the procedural methods that governed the Wagner Act's labor regulation provisions bore resemblance to the procedural methods which governed the railroad rates that the Interstate Commerce Commission was allowed to maintain in the 1914 Shreveport decision; he thus demonstrated that Congress could use its commerce power to regulate local industrial labor as well.
In 1937, when Roosevelt attempted to pack the Court with six additional justices, Hughes worked behind the scenes to defeat the effort, which failed in the Senate, by rushing important New Deal legislation — such as Wagner Act and the Social Security Act — through the court and ensuring that the court's majority would uphold their constitutionality. The month after Roosevelt's court-packing announcement, Roberts, who had joined the four conservative Justices in striking down important New Deal legislation, shocked the American public by siding with Hughes and the court's three liberal justices in striking down the court's ruling in the 1923 Adkins v. Children's Hospital case — which held that laws requiring minimum wage violated the Fifth Amendment's due process clause — and upholding the constitutionality of Washington state's minimum wage law in West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish. Because Roberts had previously sided with the four conservative justices and used the Adkins decision as the basis for striking down a similar minimum wage law the state of New York enforced in Morehead v. New York ex rel. Tipaldo, it was widely perceived that he only agreed to uphold the constitutionality of minimum wage as a result of the pressure that was put on the Supreme Court by the court-packing plan. However, Hughes and Roberts acknowledged that the Chief Justice had already convinced Roberts to change his method of voting months before Roosevelt announced his court-packing plan and that the effort he put into defeating the plan played only a small significance in determining how the court's majority made their decisions in future cases pertaining to New Deal legislation.
Following the overwhelming support that voters showed for the New Deal through Roosevelt's overwhelming re-election in November 1936, Hughes was not able to persuade Roberts to base his votes on political maneuvering and to side with him in future cases regarding New Deal-related policies. Roberts had voted to grant certiorari to hear the Parrish case before the election of 1936. Oral arguments occurred on December 16 and 17, 1936, with counsel for Parrish specifically asking the court to reconsider its decision in Adkins v. Children's Hospital, which had been the basis for striking down a New York minimum wage law in Morehead v. New York ex rel. Tipaldo in the late spring of 1936.
Roberts indicated his desire to overturn Adkins immediately after oral arguments ended for the Parrish case on December 17, 1936. The initial conference vote on December 19, 1936 was 4-4; with this even division on the Court, the holding of the Washington Supreme Court, finding the minimum wage statute constitutional, would stand. The eight voting justices anticipated Justice Stone — absent due to illness — would be the fifth vote necessary for a majority opinion affirming the constitutionality of the minimum wage law. As Hughes desired a clear and strong 5-4 affirmation of the Washington Supreme Court's judgment, rather than a 4-4 default affirmation, he convinced the other justices to wait until Stone's return before deciding and announcing the case. In one of his notes from 1936, Hughes wrote that Roosevelt's re-election forced the court to depart from its "fortress in public opinion" and severely weakened its capability to base its rulings on personal or political beliefs.
President Roosevelt announced his court reform bill on February 5, 1937, the day of the first conference vote after Stone's February 1, 1937 return to the bench. Roosevelt later made his justifications for the bill to the public on March 9, 1937 during his ninth Fireside Chat. The Court's opinion in Parrish was not published until March 29, 1937, after Roosevelt's radio address. Hughes wrote in his autobiographical notes that Roosevelt's court reform proposal "had not the slightest effect on our [the court's] decision," but due to the delayed announcement of its decision the Court was characterized as retreating under fire.
Although Hughes wrote the opinion invalidating the National Recovery Administration in Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States — though the decision was unanimously upheld by all of the court's Justices — he also wrote the opinions for the Court in NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., NLRB v. Friedman-Harry Marks Clothing Co. and West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish which approved some New Deal measures. Hughes supervised the move of the Court from its former quarters at the U.S. Capitol to the newly constructed Supreme Court building.
Hughes wrote 199 majority opinions in his time on the bench, from 1930 to 1941. "His opinions, in the view of one commentator, were concise and admirable, placing Hughes in the pantheon of great justices." His "remarkable intellectual and social gifts...made him a superb leader and administrator. He had a photographic memory that few, if any, of his colleagues could match. Yet he was generous, kind, and forebearing in an institution where egos generally come in only one size: extra large!"
For many years, he was a member of the Union League Club of New York and served as its president from 1917 to 1919.
In 1907 Hughes, then the Governor of New York, was elected to honorary membership in the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was assigned national membership number 18,977.
On August 27, 1948, at the age of 86, Hughes died in what is now the Tiffany Cottage of the Wianno Club in Osterville, Massachusetts. He is interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York City.
- The Charles Evans Hughes House, now the Burmese ambassador's residence, in Washington, D.C. was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1972. Hughes lived in the home from 1930 until his death in 1948.
- Most Hughes papers are in the collection of the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. However, other items that could be involved in research are at institutions around the country.
- On the 100th anniversary of Hughes' birth the U.S. Post Office issued a commemorative stamp in his honor, on April 11, 1962, in Washington, DC.
- Charles Evans Hughes Junior High School (of Woodland Hills, California, now closed) was named in his honor, as was the Hughes Range in Antarctica.
- Charles Evans Hughes High School (of New York City) was named in his honor. It was later renamed High School for the Humanities.
- Hughes Hall is a dormitory at the Cornell Law School, where he once taught.
- Charles Evans Hughes Middle School in Long Beach, California, was named in his honor.
- A bust-length portrait of Hughes by the Swiss-born American portrait painter Adolfo Müller-Ury (1862–1947) is in the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing, Michigan. It was accessioned by them in 1939–1940 but probably acquired earlier.
- The New York City Bar Association has a room named after Charles Evans Hughes. Two portraits of him are hung in this room as well as one of his son, Charles Evans Hughes Jr.
- The Union League Club of New York, of which Hughes was once president, dedicated the Hughes Room in his honor featuring a portrait of him.
- Hughes Court, an area of the Wriston Quadrangle at Brown University, is named for him.

GPS-enhanced bovines emit location, direction and, um, speed
Fleet drivers get lost going from delivery A to delivery B all the time. People lose cars in mall parking lots daily. And who hasn’t lost their keys? But losing a cow in a pasture? Yep.
No one ever claimed that a cow had a keen sense of direction. If anything, they indirectly roam, heads down, guided only by a blind habitual hunger and a fence line. But take away the acres of expensive fencing to contain the herd, and it’s easier than you think to come up a few head short.
CNNMoney.com recently covered Fortune Small Business’ annual nod that celebrates cutting edge entrepreneurs. It seems this past year on the USDA’s 193,000-acre ranch near Las Cruces, N.M., Dean Anderson and Daniela Rus are testing an idea based on what they call “virtual fencing.” GPS-receiver headsets on each cow wrap from ear to ear and feature an accelerometer, a magnetometer tracking the cow’s speed, location and direction.
Apparently, when the cow ventures into a pre-programmed virtual boundary, a computer-activated sound alerts the cow that it’s gone too far. Like a harmless little digital cow whisperer. But at about $600 per “Ear-A-Round,” it won’t be any time soon before they’re commercially available. And no word if it comes programmed with that charming British accent.

INDIANAPOLIS - A southern Indiana man has been sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to using an ax to smash windows and damage computers at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
A federal magistrate also ordered 28-year-old Benjamin David Curell on Tuesday to pay more than $22,000 in restitution for the April 2013 vandalism at the Bloomington clinic.
The Ellettsville man pleaded guilty to violating a law that makes it a federal crime to damage the property of a reproductive health services center because of the services offered there.
Curell told police he broke into the clinic because it performed abortion services and he wanted to shut it down.
His federal sentence will run concurrently with a state sentence he received on a felony burglary charge stemming from the same incident.

Fuller, 31, was an unrestricted free agent after falling victim to the Cleveland Browns' salary cap concerns. He carried a $3.9 million cap figure for next season.
However, the Ravens valued his versatility and tough-guy reputation enough to sign Fuller to a contract reportedly worth $4.5 million, including a signing bonus of $1.5 million.
After eight seasons starting for the Vikings and Browns, Fuller will contend for a starting position at cornerback or safety in Baltimore.
"Corey's a competitor," said Ravens coach Brian Billick, who knows Fuller from his days as the Vikings' offensive coordinator. "He's very physical. He's extremely passionate about the game.
"He's intelligent. He knows what it takes to win. He's a leader."
Now, the Ravens turn their attention toward blue-chip wideout David Boston. Boston is scheduled to fly to Baltimore today after listening to the San Diego Chargers' recruiting pitch for the last two days.
Although defensive coordinator Mike Nolan affirmed that Gary Baxter and Chris McAlister remain his starting cornerbacks, the Ravens view Fuller simply as an upgrade to their secondary regardless of where he's utilized.
One possible scenario: Baxter could move back inside to safety. Or Fuller could shift to safety, a position he played during the expansion Browns' inaugural season in 1999.
"We'll play the best four guys," Nolan said. "I know he'll play through pain, that he always checked the opponent's best wide receiver for the Browns and that he's a strong tackler. He knows this division and he should fit in very well with us.
"This is a big improvement for our secondary. I'm excited."
Fuller believes he still has the necessary acceleration and backpedaling skills to play cornerback, but said he will play wherever he's needed most.
Last season, Fuller finished with 32 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception. During his tenure in the league, Fuller has career totals of 462 tackles, 92 pass deflections and 17 interceptions.
His personal scouting report: "Mean, tough and nasty guy who will do whatever it takes to win. I know what I'm capable of."
Based upon Fuller's experience and production, the Ravens have a strong comfort level with Fuller.
A native of Tallahassee, Fla., who starred collegiately at Florida State, Fuller said his friendship with All-Pro middle linebacker Ray Lewis was a portion of his motivation to sign with Baltimore.
"We've known each other a long time and been through a lot," Fuller said of his kinship with Lewis. "When I got released, he called me."
Primarily, though, Fuller said he wanted the opportunity to make a bid for a Super Bowl title after coming up short twice with the Vikings and Browns in the playoffs.
"This was the best situation for me," Fuller said. "I think that the Ravens are right there."
NOTES: Billick said that he's intrigued by the talent of Boston, whom the Arizona Cardinals declined to assign the franchise tag to after a spate of injuries and off-field issues. Boston ended last season on injured reserve after suffering a patellar tendon injury to his right knee. Boston caught 98 passes for 1,598 yards and eight touchdowns in 2001. … After flying to Florida last week to meet with Jeff Blake, Billick said he remains optimistic that the Ravens will eventually re-sign their incumbent quarterback. Blake is an unrestricted free agent whom the Ravens have been at an impasse with over contract terms, including incentive clauses. … Quarterback Chris Redman was at the Ravens' facility Tuesday and said he's encouraged by the outcome of his back surgery. He can throw standing still now, anticipates running within a few weeks and said he will participate in all of the minicamps. "I feel great," Redman said. ... Unrestricted free agent outside linebacker Cornell Brown's agent reported significant progress in contract discussions with the Ravens. "We've had numerous inquiries about Cornell," said Joel Segal, whose client is reportedly a potential target of the Jacksonville Jaguars. "We've had very good conversations with Ozzie Newsome." … According to the agent for free agent receiver Brandon Stokley, who caught 24 passes for Baltimore before requiring foot surgery, has drawn interest from the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions and Jacksonville. "We're just sorting through everything right now," said Rick Smith, Stokley's agent. "We'll keep Baltimore informed."

Melanie B's pictures published
And the drama unfolds, 2 months ago I was reporting the Eddie Murphy and Melanie B were enamored with each other, even getting each others names tattoo'd on their bodies,
... a month later rumors circulated that Mel was pregnant with Eddie's baby and she was ecstatic over it.
.. 3 weeks ago Eddie Murphy made it public that he was NOT the fathor or Melanie's child and that he's banging Tracey Edmonds who even showed up as his as arm candy at the dreamgirl premiere.
..and now today, a British Magazine has published the pictures of Melanie B and her alleged "baby's daddy" frolicking on a beach in Hawaii.. Eddie had hired a team of investigators to follow Melanie when he got a feeling that she was cheating on him.
This is like a high-class version of "Maury"

Let’s be clear, in a period of musical transition like this, the easiest thing to do for any dj producer is to go back to the hits of the past and show all his skills with a nice modern remake and in step with the times. Madison Mars tried and now he’s putting his hands on it, too Oliver Heldens.
Turn Me On, the remake of Yazoo‘s 1982 planetary hit, Don’t Go, by Riton, Oliver Heldens and Vula, is released on Friday 13 September. (listen here). An evergreen disc that’s good to listen to again. Oliver adds as much as he can by making himself known with his kick and entrusts the vocal part, very different from the original, to Vula. In the disc there is also the influence of Riton. In short, Turn Me On is another well done remake and it’s nice to hear about a record that is about to be 40 years old.

Inflated insulin costs are putting people’s lives at risk, says state Rep. Monica Bristow, D-Alton, who is co-sponsoring legislation that would cap the cost of insulin for diabetic patients across Illinois.
“Diabetics do not have a choice in the type of insulin they need to live, and these pharmaceutical companies are a taking advantage of that fact by charging far past the cost of production,” said Bristow. “This price gouging is forcing many diabetics and their loved ones to make the terrible choice between buying their insulin or groceries and putting people’s lives at risk for the sake of overinflated profit margins.”
From 2002 to 2013, insulin costs in the U.S. have increased nearly 300 percent. American consumers are currently charged more than 100 times that of other countries across the world for the exact same products. Senate Bill 667, co-sponsored by Bristow, will cap out-of-pocket prescription insulin costs to only $100 for a 30-day supply and launch an investigation by the Illinois Attorney General to determine the cause for the dramatic rise in insulin costs. Senate Bill 667 recently passed both the Illinois House and Senate and has been sent to the governor to be signed into law.
“I have heard too many heartbreaking stories about people putting their lives at risk by rationing their insulin because they cannot afford it,” said Bristow. “Type 1 Diabetes does not only affect the wealthy, and many patients simply can no longer afford this price gouging. It is time we put people ahead of profits and stop this price gouging.”


On November 18, Htet Thura (Police ID- LA274185), a enlisted police, from Kyautyit Police station located in Myaung Township, Sagaing Region joined the local defense force.
He brought one G3, over 100 live ammunition and one grenade with him. Hence, the enlisted police was rewarded 35 lakh kyat and the civilian who helped the policeman had also been rewarded 10 lakh kyat, announced by the TGR people’s defense force (Myaung Township).
“The enlisted police had been rewarded 35 lakh and the civilian who is attributed in helping escape, also had been rewarded 10 lakh. Anyone who seeks the refuge can contact us confidently.” told by the responsible person of TGR people’s defense force.
The policeman is now in a safe place. ” Now the military is sacrificing the police like me to get killed. We don’t want our lives to be wasted in the hand of a puppeteer, the military. Other brothers need to stop doing what the military told us to do. Please, break free from there.” told by enlisted police Htet Thura.
This action was the cooperative act of Myaung People’s Defense Force TGR, Myaung Special People’s Defense Force ( MSPDF), 27 Revolution Force, 11 Brothers Revolution Forces, Young Fighters People’s Defense Force of Myaung (YFPDF).

So your dog has Kennel Cough. You’ve checked out the Kennel Cough symptoms, and now you want to know what you can do at home to help ease the discomfort for your favorite fur baby.
Maybe you’re a homeopathic kind of person that prefers natural solutions to pharmaceutical ones, or perhaps you just want to exhaust every option available. Either way, there are several holistic remedies for kennel cough in its early or mild stages, as well as other options for home treatment of kennel cough.
Extra measures will be necessary for severe cases such as the kennel cough vaccine, but these home remedies are helpful in any kennel cough case.
As you know, Kennel Cough is an upper respiratory condition that is usually accompanied by a virus-like Adenovirus or Parainfluenza.
The symptoms of Kennel Cough include a runny nose and eyes, sneezing, and, most often, a dry hacking cough. The cough is usually deep and can sound like a honking horn.
As the condition becomes more severe, a dog can experience lethargy and lessening or loss of appetite. These are signs that your dog may need a little more help to kick the illness than home remedies.
If you have seen the vet and are now trying natural and holistic treatments, pay close attention to your dog’s symptoms. If the cough is not improving or lethargy or loss of appetite is apparent, call your vet.
Let’s get down to business.
Natural Remedies for Kennel Cough
We’ll start with the most natural, homeopathic, and holistic solutions to your pet’s kennel cough.
Top 8 Natural Kennel Cough Remedies
- Coconut oil
- Licorice root
- Lemon-honey mix
- Oregano oil
- Chicken soup
Honey is at the top of many homeopathic lists. This gift of nature has antibacterial properties that make it good for acne, sweetening your tea, AND Kennel Cough!
Honey will soothe a dog’s (and humans) cough while the antibacterial properties help relieve the sore throat.
Do your best to use organic or local honey because the ingredients will be more beneficial. Mix one teaspoon to one tablespoon of honey with warm water or just give it to them off the spoon. I’d start with one teaspoon twice a day and go from there. Honey has fantastic benefits, but it is chock full of sugar.
Cinnamon has antiviral qualities that aid in killing bacteria. Grind up some raw cinnamon sticks and add a teaspoon to your dog’s food to help relieve your little Christmas cookie’s cough.
Coconut oil has been blowing up in the past few years, with new benefits continuously being discovered. It is one of the best known holistic cures for Kennel Cough; its built-in antimicrobial properties naturally help eliminate coughing in dogs.
- Use organic, extra virgin coconut oil.
- Base the consumption of coconut oil on your dog’s weight—1 teaspoon to every ten pounds. So if you have a 40-pound dog, do not exceed four teaspoons in a day.
- You can mix one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of coconut oil for a tasty,
antibacterial cough suppressant.
Yogurt is a natural probiotic for humans and animals alike and aids in killing bacteria. So go ahead and share a teaspoon to a tablespoon (depending on the dog’s weight) of your greek yogurt with your furry friend daily to help relieve Kennel Cough.
Though yogurt can be beneficial, it can upset a dog’s stomach if they overeat. Dog’s don’t produce as much lactase to break down dairy as we do, so they can’t eat dairy in the same amounts we can without having some undesirable side effects. Start small and discontinue when the cough is cured. Always consult your vet with questions and concerns.
Glycyrrhizin is the sweet acid in licorice root with all of the super sweet benefits. It is used for peptic ulcers and other stomach disorders, as it is an anti-inflammatory and antiviral and has even been noted as an anti-cancer. *Runs to store to get licorice root*
How to use it:
- Mix a few tablespoons of dried licorice root with water
- boil for 3-5 minutes
- Add a little honey for extra benefits yum factor.
- Let your dog drink licorice tea before a meal once a day.
A Mixture of Honey & Lemon
As you can see, honey is excellent for many things, but adding lemon makes it a double threat to Kennel Cough. Along with honey’s antibacterial awesomeness adding lemon’s vitamin C boosts the immune system.
How to do it:
- Mix two parts honey with one part lemon juice
- Add 1/2 cup of water
- Let your dog drink the mix twice a day
Oregano isn’t just for pizza anymore! Oregano oil is used to relieve menstrual cramps, kill infections in animals, and be an insect repellent. *Runs to store to buy oregano oil* including antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties to aid in your dog’s recovery.
Many farmers have even raved about its antibacterial advantages as opposed to pharmaceutical antibiotics. Mix a few drops in with your dog’s food several times a day.
I know this seems strange, right? Do you know how they say to gargle saltwater for a sore throat? It’s kind of like that, except it tastes better, and I have yet to meet anyone who has taught their dog to gargle.
Chicken soup for dogs soothes the throat and boosts the immune system. The best part is, you can eat it too!
Don’t feed your dog all of these concoctions at once or in one day. Consult your vet.
|Natural Remedy||How much?||How Often?|
|Honey||One teaspoon – one tablespoon||1-2 times a day to soothe sore throat|
|Coconut oil||One teaspoon per every 10 pounds||1 -2 times daily to soothe and quiet cough|
|Yogurt||One – three tablespoons depending on your dog’s size.||Once a day|
|Licorice root tea||One to three tablespoons with water|
Bring to boil
|Let dog drink tea before a meal once a day|
|Honey & lemon||Two teaspoons honey one teaspoon lemon with ½ cup of water||Let your dog drink mix twice a day|
|Oregano oil||Mix 2-4 drops in your dog’s food||Once a day|
|Essential Oils||Combine a few drops of lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus oil in a spray bottle and dilute with water.||2-4 sprays in the dog’s vicinity but not their face 2-3 times daily.|
*Always consult your veterinarian when you’re considering treatment of any type
Now we’ll move on to over the counter treatments for Kennel Cough.
- Cough syrup
- Probiotic supplements
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Echinacea tablets
- Slippery elm tablets
Over the Counter Kennel Cough Remedies (still pretty natural)
We saw yogurt in the list of holistic remedies, which is a probiotic. Probiotic supplements are another option. They come in capsules, powders, and chews. Ask your veterinarian about probiotic supplements for your dog.
Vitamin C is known for boosting the immune system as well as improving white blood cell function.
Since stress and sickness are the most prevalent reasons for the depletion of Vitamin C in dogs, it is ideal for replenishing their supply while recovering or suffering from kennel cough.
There are several types of Vitamin C for your dog. Some work better than others. Consult your vet for suggestions.
Types of Vitamin C:
- Ascorbic Acid
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Calcium Ascorbate
- Sodium Ascorbate
Ascorbic acid is the stuff that most of our (human) Vitamin C supplements are. However, in this crystalline form, more massive amounts are not well absorbed in either humans or dogs. They aren’t bad but let’s be honest. Your dog will find that giant pill in even the biggest spoonful of peanut butter.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is an oil-soluble version of the vitamin that is absorbed better by the body but is quite costly.
This vitamin C version comes in salt form and is easily absorbed by the intestinal tract in humans and animals. The salts or mineral ascorbates are more gentle than other methods.
Another salty option that is also absorbed well by the body can last more than twice as long as Ascorbic acid.
Vitamin E offers several benefits for dogs, including support of respiratory function and enhancing the immune system, which will surely speed along with recovery from kennel cough.
Other advantageous things to note about vitamin E for your dog are:
- A healthy, shiny coat
- Connective tissue health
- Slows aging
- Helps to prevent degenerative conditions like cataracts
- Regulates digestion
Native Americans have used Echinacea for centuries for various ailments. Nowadays, they sell tablets over-the-counter as a natural remedy for the common cold and flu. Echinacea has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties and boosts the immune system, making it a triple threat to Kennel Cough in dogs.
Slippery Elm tablets
The slippery elm tree or Ulmus Rubra is native to the central and eastern United States and Ontario, Canada. Native Americans would peel the tree’s slimy, reddish-brown bark, mix it with water, and then use the gooey mix for anything from wounds to sore throats.
Slippery Elm has anti-inflammatory properties, and its sliminess helps to lubricate the digestive tract and improve the upper respiratory system. Both of these outcomes are wonderful for kennel cough.
Don’t worry; you don’t have to go to the U.S. and peel the bark yourself. There are several Slippery Elm, powder-filled capsules to choose from available online and at your local health food store. Consult your vet on the recommended Slippery Elm supplements.
|Symptom||Natural Home Remedies|
|To relieve sore throat and swelling|
|Clear congestion & break up phlegm|
|To speed up recovery and support the immune system|

5 Ways to Make Your House a Healing Haven
- Lose the collar
- Steam therapy
- Essential oils
- Healthy foods
- Get a humidifier
- Keep the place at a cozy temperature
Lose The Collar!
I know; you’re nervous about your dog running off without any information. We understand; move your dog’s tags to their new harness that they will be wearing or just loosen up the collar a bit and don’t use it to attach the dog to any sort of lead or leash.
Damage to a dog’s tracheal tube can occur anytime from stress from pulling on the leash too hard. If your dog pulls on the leash, it’s a good idea to get a harness.
If your dog is suffering from a cough or sore throat, the discomfort and stress from the collar against the windpipe can cause more irritation than they are already experiencing.
So get a cute new harness for your stylish fur baby. Like you weren’t looking for an excuse to buy something new for them anyway!
Talk about natural! All you need to do is steam up your bathroom with a hot shower, then sit with your dog in your self-made sauna.
The steam will help to loosen phlegm and clear congestion. The warm water vapor can also soothe the cough. Go ahead and throw on your favorite face mask and enjoy the detox with your fur bestie.
*Warning: Essential oils are toxic and never safe for cats. So if you have a mixed family at home, forget about this method.
Essential oils might be an effective Kennel Cough treatment for your dog.
A combination of antiviral and soothing essential oils can save the day when a dog has a persistent, bothersome cough.
Using oils like Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Tea tree can relieve congestion and coughing.
Combine these and dilute with water in a spray bottle. Give 2 – 3 sprays in your dog’s surroundings, NOT IN THEIR FACE.
Listen, I know this combination smells nice, and you want to spray it everywhere. Remember that your dog’s sniffer is much more powerful than yours, and too much can be sickening.
All essential oils are toxic if ingested!!
Everyone will benefit from a healthy diet, and your dog is no exception. Ask your vet about healthy foods rich in Vitamin C & E. These foods include :
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radicals.
Some foods rich in Vitamin E:
- Dark leafy greens like spinach, swiss chard, kale, and beet greens
- Grapeseed oil
Foods rich in Vitamin C are:
- Sweet potatoes
As you might guess, from personal experience, eating oils and dark leafy greens can lead to a less than desirable effect on your bowel movements. Ask your vet about vitamin and nutrient-dense dog foods, or if they recommend a homemade, clean diet.
Get A Humidifier
Since Kennel cough is an airborne bacteria disease, it causes inflammation of the upper respiratory system. This inflammation leads to the main kennel cough symptoms of coughing, sneezing, and runny nose. A humidifier will moisten the air your dog is breathing in to reduce irritation of the throat.
Situate a small humidifier near the area where your dog is resting and allow them to breathe in the water vapors.
Keep Your House Cozy
It can be a delicate process finding the perfect temperature for your pup, mainly because they can’t tell us how they’re feeling.
Fresh air and proper circulation are essential, but we also don’t want the dog to catch a chill because their space is too cold. Cold temperatures can encourage illness in dogs, but hot temperatures encourage bacterial growth, so finding a good “in-between” is essential.
The kennel cough bacteria Bordetella grows best at 35 – 37 degrees Celcius and 95-90 degrees Fahrenheit, so if you keep the temperature anywhere from 65 -80 degrees for sick pets.
A Few Other Things To Consider:
- Clean bowls on the regular
- Keep your puppy rested and don’t allow overexertion
- Please keep your dog isolated while they have kennel cough!
- Allow your dog to drink as much as they can
- Give them healthy foods and treats
- Walk them with a collar
- Smoke around them or in the same building, house, or apartment.
- Use toxic or stinky cleaning products.
We can do many things to provide comfort for a dog cough, and other respiratory issues.
If you have been following our blogs, you notice many things are quite similar to recovery in a human, and most of these things revolve around common sense.
So be smart and be safe. Take care of yourself and your fur baby, and we’ll see you next time!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
For more information contact:
Port of Centralia
Kyle Heaton, Executive Director
Phone: (360) 736-3527
Email: [email protected]
Centralia, Wash. — The Port of Centralia has received the final report from Kathleen Haggard of Haggard & Ganson LLP for its third-party investigation into allegations of ethics violations by Commissioner Peter Lahmann. A memo submitted by the Port’s Director of Administration & Finance Amy Graber alleging violations of the Port’s Code of Ethics and the Washington State Code of Ethics for Municipal Officers spurred the investigation.
The report concluded no legal wrongdoing by Peter Lahmann but warned “Commissioner Lahmann’s conduct can still create problems even if it does not violate the Ethics Code. When he represents himself, or allows others to represent him, as a Port Commissioner at public appearances, this blurs lines, creates distrust and discord among the staff and other Commissioners, and calls into question Lahmann’s commitment to the collaborative process. This is especially true because Lahmann does not always disclose his appearances, and he often disagrees with his colleagues on policy matters.”
Kathleen Haggard’s report provided a list of guidelines to shore up the Port’s Code of Ethics, including avoiding OPMA violations at meetings attended by more than one commissioner, requirements to avoid presenting opinions as official Port stances, establishing talking points on official issues, and prohibiting attacks on Port staff, among others. She recommended the Port commissioners begin voluntarily cooperating with her list of guidelines as a means for moving forward.
Peter Lahmann is employed as an apprenticeship program specialist for the Washington Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Amy Graber’s memo expressed concern that he used his position as a Port commissioner to push for apprenticeship utilization standards in Port contracts, despite being not legally required to do so; to engage in quid pro quo arrangements with Port tenants where he agreed to advocate for tenants’ interests in exchange for them utilizing apprenticeships; and to participate in meetings with other organizations where he identified himself as the Port’s representative without Commission authorization to do so.
Kyle Markstrom, President of the Port of Centralia, said in a statement, “We must remember that allegations of ethical violations are serious matters that require careful scrutiny and unbiased evaluation. While the report did not find any legal wrongdoing, it is incumbent upon us as public servants to ensure that our actions are beyond reproach and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. Moving forward, we will take the findings of the investigation seriously and work towards strengthening our ethical framework. The Port Commission remains committed to promoting transparency, fostering trust within the community, and upholding the values that underpin our operations.”
Port of Centralia Executive Director Kyle Heaton said, “We appreciate the work of the Port’s Auditor in bringing these troubling issues to our attention. While the investigation concluded that there was not enough evidence to refer this matter further, Commissioner Lahmann’s actions were very close to, if not over, the line. Going forward, the Port will consider new ethics rules to ensure that no commissioner can use their position for their own personal advantage. We would like to express our appreciation to Kathleen Haggard for all of her work on this investigation and for providing guidance to prevent any future appearance of impropriety. The Port of Centralia has maintained a clean audit record throughout its history and values the high standards set by the founding commissioners and those who preceded them.”

Founded in 1986, the Port of Centralia operates two industrial parks and one planned
mixed-use development that provide over 2,100 jobs to the local community.
The Port’s 30-plus tenants include Sierra Pacific Industries, Michaels, United Natural Foods,
STIHL Northwest and Dick’s Brewing Company.

Boletus also on Tuesday for Diary N He said that due to the situation with refugees from Ukraine, who are at the main station and have nowhere to go, Prague is considering building a tent town.
In March, less than a month after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he hoped that such a step would not take place. In the Rozstřel program on the iDNES.cz portal, he said at the time that the accommodation of refugees in tents was out of place. He argued that there is still enough decent housing capacity.
On Tuesday, he sent a letter to Prime Minister Petr Fial calling on him to resolve the current situation. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion at the end of February, the Prague Refugee Center in Vysočany for the metropolis and Central Bohemia has
84 219 refugees.
“At the meeting with the governors, data was presented on Tuesday, which clearly shows the overcapacity of the capital and its uneven burden compared to other regions. Without a functioning mechanism for the distribution of people fleeing the war from Ukraine to other regions, there is a risk that we will have to close the regional assistance center in Prague, “said Hřib. According to him, the metropolis does not relinquish responsibility, because since the beginning of the war it has been doing its best for refugees.
According to the mayor of Prague, the capacity maps are approaching a critical red level, which means a complete disparity between the number of refugees and the capacity of the infrastructure. According to him, the situation is not so serious in other regions, even though there are differences between individual regions.
Roma refugees remain at Central Station
The capital is now dealing mainly with the problem of Roma refugees residing at the main station. Hundreds of people live there in undignified conditions. There are 70 beds in the hall of the Fanta building, which was provided by the Railway Administration, and up to 210 other people can sleep in the attached seat train.
However, all capacities are often full. The municipality therefore asked the state Administration of Refugee Facilities for help, as the city does not have enough suitable accommodation capacity for them.
Interior Minister Vít Rakušan said on Tuesday that the police will start checking the passports of people who say they are coming from Ukraine to see if they actually contain a stamp crossing the European Union border. Only a refugee with such a stamp in his passport will also be entitled to a humanitarian benefit of 5,000 crowns per month.
The Austrian also said at a press conference that the regions should look for accommodation for Roma refugees because the regions did not accept the offer of state-owned facilities. According to him, these are problems only in some regions. Part of the region provides accommodation for Roma families, he said.
There are also problems in schools, where due to the lack of places it may happen that Ukrainian children will not be included among the Czech ones. The mayor therefore calls for a change in legislation that would allow the creation of so-called modular schools, which could solve the problem of lack of places.


A woman says she and her boyfriend were attacked with a tire-iron while at a gas station in Prichard, and no one would help them, according to a story on fox10tv.com.
A woman said she and her fiancee were at a gas station on Highway 45 when a man approached them and acted like she knew him, the story said.
"'I know her, she lives near the Texaco, she owes me $60 (he said).' I was like, 'I don't know you at all,'" the woman was quoted as saying. "I kept telling him and kept telling the clerk, 'Please call 911, I'm scared.' About 5 minutes later he walked out, the clerk still didn't call the police and the guy came back with a tire-iron."
She said the man hit her fiancee in the back, and hit her in the head.

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme peroxidase obtained from soybean (Glycine max) hulls
The food enzyme considered in this opinion is a peroxidase (hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase; EC 188.8.131.52) obtained from hulls of soybeans (Glycine max) by the company Kerry Ingredients & Flavours. The compositional data provided were considered sufficient. The manufacturing process did not raise safety concerns. The enzyme is intended to be used in baking processes. Based on the maximum recommended use level, dietary exposure to the food enzyme total organic solids (TOS) was estimated on the basis of individual data from the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database. This exposure estimate is lower than the exposure to the fraction of soybean comparable to the food enzyme TOS resulting from the consumption of whole soybean-derived foods by roughly an order of magnitude. As the food enzyme is derived from edible parts of soybean, in line with the requirements of the guidance document on food enzyme assessment, the Panel concluded that the provision of toxicological data was unnecessary. The potential allergenicity was evaluated by searching for similarity between the amino acid sequence of soybean peroxidase retrieved from the database Uniprot and the sequences of known food allergens; no match was found. Peroxidase from soybean hulls is not listed as an allergen in allergen databases. However, several soybean- and soybean hull proteins are known to be respiratory or food allergens. Based on the origin of the food enzyme from edible parts of soybean, the enzyme manufacturing process, the compositional and biochemical data provided, and the dietary exposure assessment, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use. However, the Panel noted that this food enzyme may contain allergenic soybean proteins, thus, adverse reactions in susceptible soybean-allergic individuals cannot be ruled out.

RoboCop is the 2014 remake of the 1987 film of the same name. The film stars Joel Kinnaman as Alex Murphy, a Detroit police officer who is critically injured in the line of duty. OmniCorp, a multinational conglomerate brings Murphy back to life as the cybernetic police officer RoboCop. The film was directed by José Padilha (Elite Squad) and co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, and Gary Oldman.
While the classic 1987 RoboCop (Peter Weller) was bulkier and more machine like, this reboot version with Joel Kinnaman inside the robot suit is sleeker and looks more human. The final version (version 3.0) the company OmniCorp went for in the film was painted all black for a more "tactical look". I much prefer this version as the paintwork and colors are more similar to the original RoboCop.
One of the unique things about 1987 RoboCop that we all liked was the hidden holster in his right thigh which opens and ejects his Auto 9 pistol. The producers of the 2014 RoboCop reboot went one up and gave the new RoboCop two guns and two holsters, one on each thigh.
Scroll down to see the pictures.
Click on them for bigger and better views.
At 23 cm or 9 inches tall, this would make the Square Enix Play Arts Kai 2014 RoboCop version 1.0 a 1/7 scale figure and although this figure is all plastic, it does look good and has nice details. Square Enix has certainly created an impressive figure with authentic silver and black paintwork plus intricate details to bring this movie-accurate RoboCop action figure to collectors and fans.
The figure comes with extra parts for you to create the pop-out guns look for this 2014 reboot RoboCop figure. You can compare the pictures of the previous post where RoboCop's thighs are "normal" and the photographs posted here with the guns coming out from the two sides.
The left thigh holds the customized SMG (Sub-Machine Gun) in stored position. There's also the fully extended / deployed version for shooting with.
The picture below shows the holder when the gun is removed.
The right thigh holds the customized pistol in stored position. The fully extended / deployed version for shooting is also included. Both versions are shown side-by-side in the earlier post HERE.
RoboCop's customized pistol is a Beretta with a custom shell that was created using a 3D printer. Mattox (Jackie Earle Haley), OmniCorp armorer and RoboCop's trainer, called the "TSR 66", his main sidearm in the film.
The picture below shows the holster when the pistol is removed.
Scroll down to see the pictures of the Square Enix Play Arts Kai 2014 RoboCop version 1.0 holding both weapons (fully extended) in his hands. IMHO I think the pistol is a tad big in this scale

Mercedes has officially introduced its new brand, Mythos, to bring about some new highly exclusive collectible cars to the market. It is as if Mercedes itself is not a premium brand in the country. With the quick growing middle class and the increase of millionaires in India, the demand for exclusive cars is also growing. That is why, this new launch of the Mythos sub-brand has come at the right time. The brand will be similar to Ferrari’s Monza Line-up, where Ferrari gives out limited-edition custom-made cars on request from its customers.
The new brand is set to move Mercedes towards a luxurious future with an aim at building one-off cars in large volumes. This production model will require Mercedes to make a considerable investment in itself. Fortunately, Mercedes has the money to do so too.
Last year, even with the supply chain hit the production volume went down by 5% but the company had increased its revenue by 9%. Part of Mythos’ plan is to divert about 75% of its profit margins into the production of Mythos segment cars. So, on one hand, Mercedes Benz is investing in the future with three fourth of its profit today. At the same time, the company is also risking the money that could be spent on research and development of new and better designs into the production of an ultra-luxury line-up of cars.
Seeking Profit From Luxury
Mercedes-Benz is aiming to reach more profits through the luxury route, opposite to what most automakers do. Usually, the easiest way to making more profits in this sector is to make the best-selling models available in large numbers and with periodic upgrades. But, since Mercedes is a well-established luxury car maker, it will be easy for the company to transition into this phase.
Moreover, the company already has a lot of luxury brands up its sleeve, the AMG fleet, Maybach, S-Class and the recently introduced EQ series. All of them offer a wide variety of choices for its customers and Mercedes can play with variations among these brands too.
In a way, the company is emulating what fellow brands like Rolls Royce is doing in the automobile industry or to give a parallel what Apple is doing in the electronics and information technology products.
The Reorientation of Mercedes-Benz
For a long time now, Mercedes Benz has defined the epitome of luxury in the country. It can be attributed to the lack of competitors in this niche for the company in the early years of the development of Indian economy. However, with the influx of fellow brands and super cars inside the country, the scenario changed. Now, the German carmaker is looking to get back its almost lost position in the automobile industry.
Mercedes-Benz is reorienting its strategy and focus in the country and elsewhere. The company has redefined its portfolio with focus on three distinct categories – top-end luxury, core luxury and entry luxury.
The top-end luxury fleet will consist of all AMG and Maybach vehicles; the most expensive EQ-badged EVs; Mercedes S-Class, Mercedes GLS and Mercedes G-Class derivatives; and any & all limited-edition models. Part of this fleet’s move will be the introduction of the Maybach version of the new EQS SUV, which will be available in Mercedes Benz dealerships from 2023.
As for the Core luxury segments, the E-Class and the C-Class vehicles will be included in them and all their EV modifications like the EQE & the EQC will join them. These models will be available in higher volumes too. This will form the bulk of the sales in the country as people will be looking to differentiate themselves from others.
The entry luxury vehicles are being looked down by the company and it is said that Mercedes-Benz will cull its line-up of entry-level models from seven to four all the while elevating the technological substance of these products significantly. It is unclear what models will be cut-off from this line-up, but we can expect the top-selling models to last longer on the offerings.
With the present direction and trajectory, it can be clearly seen that the company is moving away from this entry level market. Or at least that is how it seems. So, we expect a good number of reduction in the number of models and new entries at this level. Even the electric vehicles from the company will come in the core luxury segment that is more profitable for the company.
What is in Store? The Future of Mercedes-Benz in India
India offers a huge market for the brand and some of its latest models like the CLA, A-Class limousine were welcomed with much awe. The new line up of Mythos has already generated much attention among the people and you can expect it to become an instant hit, once the model hits the dealerships in the country. With Mercedes Benz’s shift towards luxury, it will gain a greater fan base in India especially with its EVs.
