It's been a while, but U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite used to be an independent and productive lawmaker.
During her decade in the Florida Senate (1992 to 2002) she stood up to big tobacco, the American Medical Association and leaders in her own Republican Party. Her laws made it easier for counties to defend themselves against outside water grabs and illegal for the builders of new subdivisions to force buyers to plant the thirstiest lawns.
And when the state Legislature came up with an especially stupid idea, such as storing treated sewage water in the aquifer, you could usually depend on her to speak out against it.
So, what happened?
Washington, basically, or at least the desire to be sent there from a district tailored for conservative Republicans.
It's true she stopped short of questioning Obama's citizenship and shot down the "death panel'' claim about health care reform.
Still, look back on her eight years in Congress and what you see mostly is fear-mongering.
You name the real or imagined threat — Muslims, French people, the supposed enablers of child molesters — and she played it up.
One episode sticks in my mind as especially offensive — Brown-Waite teaming up with Fox New Channel's Bill O'Reilly to attack State Attorney Brad King, of all people, for being soft on crime. Two defenders of fake threats (e.g. weapons of mass destruction) running down a man who built a career prosecuting real ones.
I bring this up because Hernando County Sheriff Richard Nugent's politics are a lot like Brown-Waite's before she went to Washington: conservative, certainly — he is a sheriff, after all, with three sons in the military — but not extreme.
If there have been instances of partisan grandstanding by Nugent, I don't remember them. He seems to have a sense of fairness, and in working with organizations like the YMCA and the building of a community center in south Brooksville, a realization that there's more to fighting crime than locking up criminals. His department's $32 million budget consumes more than a third of the county's general fund operating expenses, and with that comes the implied message that if you want good government, you have to pay for it.
So he's not a natural to appeal to tax-slashing tea partiers. It's hard to imagine him calling Barack Obama a socialist or claiming that every one of the president's policies, from stimulus spending to bank bailouts, is nothing more than a shameful handout.
But it's also difficult to see how Nugent succeeds in Washington — assuming, of course, that he wins — without obeying party leaders that only seem to care about obstructing Democrats. And after what happened to Charlie Crist, how can any Republican in Florida hope to win as a moderate?
Which is a shame, because it seems so obvious that that's what we need — someone who can work with members of the other party.
Right now, Nugent won't say much about his positions. It's impossible to know how much he will be willing to compromise his legacy for the sake of political advancement.
On the one hand, he says he wants to listen to voters and "won't take well'' to party leaders trying to tell him what to do.
On the other, he agreed to Brown-Waite's devious, last-minute qualifying plan that gave him the inside track on her seat.
It wasn't a good start.
• • •
Let's take a break from the discouraging topic of partisan politics for a story that began 36 years ago, when Pattie Stepbach taught a very tall, very bright third-grader named William Kenneth Alphin in Culpepper, Va.
Stepbach is the founder of Operation HeartFELT (Feeding Empty Little Tummies), which provides food for children from homeless families in Hernando County.
Alphin grew up to be "Big Kenny'' of the country music group Big and Rich, whose hits include the No. 1 Lost in This Moment.
After watching him perform recently at the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Stepbach met him backstage and told him how proud of him she was for his career and his charity work. She mentioned HeartFELT, she said, and without even being asked, "He said, 'I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to donate a concert.' I was shocked.''
Called "Up Close and Personal with Big Kenny,'' the concert is scheduled for 6 p.m. July 17 at the Brooksville Country Club at Majestic Oaks. Tickets for the fundraiser, which includes dinner, cost $100 and are available at Killingsworth Insurance, (352) 796-1451, and Westover's Flowers and Gifts, (352) 796-3519.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Not as good as the first one, but plenty of action and comedy. Drax and baby Groot sort of steal the show in my estimates, but I shan't go any further so as to avoid any spoilers. If you do go, make note that there are (5) post trailers. So sit tight.
I actually thought GoG2 was better than the first! I really loved this movie!

‘Married . . . With Children’ Is Breaking Up After 11 Years
Al Bundy and family will bid farewell to America next month, as “Married . . . With Children”--the first Fox prime-time series and currently television’s longest-running sitcom--ends its 11-year run.
Once Fox’s top-rated program, the audience for “Married” had dropped sharply this season to about 9 million viewers each week, compared to an average 15 million just two years ago. Fox moved the program in September from Sunday night to Saturdays (where viewing levels are substantially lower), then switched the time period again to Mondays in January.
The decision to cancel the series was based on those declining ratings relative to increased production costs. Sources say Ed O’Neill--who plays the show’s surly father figure, Al Bundy--received more than $500,000 per episode this season, making him one of the highest-paid performers in television.
Salaries for other cast members--who include the Bundy clan of Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate and David Faustino--also have ballooned, driving up expenses and the fee Fox pays for the right to broadcast the show.
Discussions had been ongoing until recently between Fox and the production company, Columbia TriStar Television, regarding a spinoff series or occasional specials next season. While a spinoff featuring supporting characters remains a possibility, the prospects of one next year is said to be unlikely.
“Married” will end with a one-hour episode May 5. Because the producers didn’t know whether the show would return at the time that the episode was taped, the story won’t bring closure to the series.
The program has also been a major success in syndication, where reruns are estimated to have thus far grossed between $400 million and $500 million.
Mocking the happy family life depicted in programs such as “The Cosby Show” (the pilot’s working title, in fact, was “Not the Cosbys”), “Married . . . With Children” premiered on April 5, 1987. Ratings were initially low, but a controversy ensued in 1989 when Michigan housewife Terry Rakolta waged what became a national crusade against the show, decrying its “anti-family values.”
That attention actually seemed to help promote the series and define Fox’s renegade image, which grew in subsequent years with the introduction of such programs as “The Simpsons” and “Melrose Place.”
Canceling the show leaves Fox with a shortage of returning comedies next season, having previously announced this will be the last year of Martin Lawrence’s comedy “Martin.”
Earlier this season “Married” aired its 250th episode. Only a handful of situation comedies have enjoyed longer prime-time runs, while such shows as “MASH,” “Cheers” and “The Jeffersons” also ran 11 seasons.

Who actually wrote the gospels?
Christian apologists and most lay Christians assume on the basis of 4th century Church teaching that the gospels were written by the Evangelists c. 50-65 AD, but the scholarly consensus is that they are the work of unknown Christians and were composed c. 68-110 AD.
Who wrote the first gospels?
Eventually some stories were written down. The first written documents probably included an account of the death of Jesus and a collection of sayings attributed to him. Then, in about the year 70, the evangelist known as Mark wrote the first “gospel” — the words mean “good news” about Jesus.
Who wrote most of the gospels in the New Testament?
The Pauline letters are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author. Paul’s authorship of six of the letters is disputed. Four are thought by most modern scholars to be pseudepigraphic, i.e., not actually written by Paul even if attributed to him within the letters themselves.
Did John Mark write the Gospel of John?
John Mark is named in the Acts of the Apostles as an assistant accompanying Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journeys. Traditionally he is regarded as identical with Mark the Evangelist, the traditional writer of the Gospel of Mark….
Did the Apostles actually write the Gospels?
But for more than a century, scholars have generally agreed that the Gospels, like many of the books of the New Testament, were not actually written by the people to whom they are attributed.
What is the first gospel in the Bible?
Mark is the earliest gospel written, probably, shortly after the war that destroyed the Temple, the war between Rome and Judea. And Mark presents one type of Jesus with a particular narrative where Jesus begins in the Galilee and he ends his life in Jerusalem.
Which is the oldest of the four Gospels?
In the 19th century, Mark came to be seen as the earliest of the four gospels, and as a source used by both Matthew and Luke.
What is the name of Jesus younger brother?
The New Testament names James the Just, Joses, Simon, and Jude as the brothers (Greek adelphoi) of Jesus (Mark 6:3, Matthew 13:55, John 7:3, Acts 1:13, 1 Corinthians 9:5).
Who really wrote the four Gospels of Jesus Christ?
The fourth gospel known as the Gospel of John, according to Irenaeus it is written by the Apostle John himself. It is also reported that the Apostle John wrote the gospel while he was in Ephesus some time after Paul’s death.
Who wrote the four canonical gospels?
According to ancient tradition, the four canonical Gospels were written by the Apostle Levi Matthew, the evangelist John Mark, the physician Luke , and the Apostle John. However, the authors of the four Gospels never explicitly identify themselves.
Who were the four Gospels written for?
The Book of Acts , which immediately follows the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, records the history of the early church. Acts was written by a doctor named Luke who served as Paul’s travel partner and secretary.
When were the Gospels written and by whom?
The gospels were written during the 1st century A.D. Matthew was written at about 70 A.D. by the apostle Matthew, a Jew who had worked for the Roman government as a tax collector. Mark was written between 40 A.D. and 70 A.D. by John Mark, who was the nephew of Barnabas .


An honest media calls balls and strikes. A dishonest media suppresses any stories that might disprove their claims. As you read this story, ask yourself which the national media has been doing.
Amid claims of ‘systematic racism’ ripping the nation apart, mostly leveled by Democrats against Republicans, you might think a story like this one would be celebrated.
This week, another leadership milestone was reached, representing another racial ‘first’. The Senate confirmed another Trump nominee; they did so by a landslide.
Way back on March 2nd — long before the Democrats, activists and the news people began working to push the Trump-Is-Why-America-is-White-supremacist propaganda into high gear — General Charles brown was nominated to become the Chief of Staff of the Air Force…
…appointed by the President of the United States (US) Donald Trump to become the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (KSAU) has just been approved by the US Senate. General Charles Brown officially made history as the first black person to become KSAU in the US.
Announcement of the appointment of Brown as the new KSAU was delivered by Trump through his Twitter account. The US Senate approved the appointment of General Brown as Chief of Staff of the US Air Force in a 98-0 vote. Trump called this decision a historic day in the US.
As reported by ABC News, Wednesday (10/6) Brown is a four-star general and former combat pilot who has served in the Air Force for 36 years. Brown currently leads the Pacific Air Force, which commands around 46,000 pilots, who are assigned mainly to South Korea, Japan, Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska. — News24
Those of us on the right — who have actually embraced Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s values of preferring merit and character to racial externalities — would gladly celebrate his appointment in the way we celebrate other great and competent leaders in their field, in the way we celebrate Col. West or Dr. Carson.
But for those who measure milestones in melanin content, this should stand as one more data point in contradiction to the ‘systematic racism’ claims.
But it will be roundly ignored by the press… while they wet their collectivist pants in excitement as they see political slogans painted on the streets.
Of course, nobody on their side will be looking too carefully at what ideas might be lurking within that friendly-looking Trojan Horse.

Modern architecture comes in all shapes and sizes. A lot of the contemporary structures we’ve seen recently are rooted in the history of their surroundings, much like the home we get a look at today. Today we take a look at a beautiful Summer house located in the forest of the Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden. This unique structure was designed and created by AndrénFogelström & KolmanBoye, offering a unique home with stunning attention to detail. The home features a blackened plywood facade, which provides a bold statement.
The house is comprised of three buildings, the first featuring the main living areas such as the kitchen and dining area, as well as a sleeping area and a small couch. The second structure features a study and guest room, while the smallest of the three is currently used for storage and has the flexibility to be changed into a bathroom. The small, simple structures feature windows that provide ample natural light throughout, filling out the bright interior of birch plywood walls, ceiling, and floor. The main structure offers a small lounge area beside a large window, and a sleeping area, while a concrete fireplace separates the lounge area from the sleeping area. The second building is set up as a home office, though it could easily double as a guest room. The walls and ceiling are covered in pine plywood for a rustic approach.
The unique structure is a perfect escape from reality, providing a simple and effective retreat in the process. Take a look at this eye-catching home in the images below and learn more about the home from AndrénFogelström & KolmanBoye immediately.

Simple and robust antibody microarray-based immunoassay platform for sensitive and selective detection of PSA and hK2 toward accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer
- S.W. Lee, K. Hosokawa, S. Kim, T. Laurell, M. Maeda
- Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research SCOPUS
- in 2015
- Cited Count
This paper reports the development of an easy to use antibody microarray-based immunoassay platform for sensitive and selective duplex detection of PSA (prostate specific antigen) and hK2 (human kallikrein 2). Using PDMS wells in a 3 × 9 array on epoxy-coated glass slides 27 duplex immunoassays can be performed in parallel. Automated microarraying provided fast and reproducible antibody arraying in each assay well. To achieve highly sensitive and selective detection of each biomarker, we evaluated and optimized the density of each of the immobilized capture antibodies. The assay platform showed a limit of detection (LOD) of each biomarker (PSA and hK2) of less than 10 pg/mL and a dynamic range of 104–105 orders of magnitude. Neither the PSA nor the hK2 antibody array showed any cross-reaction against each others target proteins or other plasma proteins. These results emphasize the importance of density optimization of capture antibody on the surface in order to achieve a sensitive and selective multiplex immunoassay.

Its expression can be induced by nerve growth factor (NGF), as well as by the forkhead transcription factor FKHR-L1, which suggests a role in neuronal and lymphocyte apoptosis. Transgenic studies in the mouse suggested that this protein functions as an essential initiator of the apoptosis in thymocyte-negative selection.

'GGW' Lawyers to Grill Spitzer's Girl
'GGW' Lawyers To Grill Spitzer's Girl
6/2/2008 7:00 PM PT
TMZ has learned lawyers for "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis have subpoenaed Eliot Spitzer's favorite midnight caller Ashley Dupre to testify under oath and on video about her shady and sordid dealing with a prostitution ring.
Following her spectacular rise to fame as Spitzer's call girl du jour, Dupre filed a $10 million suit against Francis and GGW after the company offered her -- and then rescinded after they discovered video of her in their vaults-- a $1 million deal. She claims "GGW" ruined her reputation.
We hear lawyers for GGW plan to grill Dupre on a litany of topics, hoping to prove that her previous use of fake names, fake IDs and fake web pages will shed light on the alleged shady lady's credibility. GGW's lawyer says after they're done with her, they're confident "any jury will view her claims as frivolous."
For his part, Francis says, "Now that we are calling on her to testify under oath, the world will learn the real truth about Ashley Dupre." Bring it on!
Dupre's New York lawyer Don Buchwald responded to TMZ: "To the extent her testimony is needed, she will of course comply with whatever the rules are in Florida courts."

A federal court panel has found the city of Berkeley’s cellphone disclosure ordinance, originally passed May 12, 2015, to comply with the First Amendment, as first reported by the East Bay Times.
The ordinance, known as the “right to know” ordinance, requires shops to display a notice stating that cellphones must meet federal radiofrequency radiation exposure guidelines. The panel found that the ordinance complied with the First Amendment because it was of “substantial government interest” and “purely factual.”
“All that the ordinance says is (that) the same information buried in your user manual will be posted at the site where you buy your cellphone,” said City Councilmember Kriss Worthington, one of the co-sponsors of the ordinance. “We are not making any new scientific standard or policies or descriptions. We are simply providing the public with information that the federal government already provides.”
Worthington called the ordinance “simple and straightforward,” adding that he does not see the ordinance affecting the sale of cellphones in Berkeley. According to Worthington, the ordinance does not aim to injure the cellphone industry. Worthington said he believes that the ordinance may cause consumers to use earbuds more, to promote “hands-free” usage of cellphones.
CTIA, an organization that represents the U.S. wireless communications industry, filed a lawsuit against the city of Berkeley in June 2015, alleging that the ordinance violated the First Amendment. CTIA spokesperson Savannah Borders cited a portion of the court opinion in an emailed statement, in which the federal court panel agreed with CTIA about a lack of evidence regarding the dangers of radiofrequency radiation.
“We respectfully believe this fact demonstrates why the Berkeley ordinance violates the First Amendment since it necessarily makes Berkeley’s ‘warning’ misleading,” Borders said in her email.
But Joel Moskowitz, director of the UC Berkeley Center for Family and Community Health, said the ordinance continues to be of public interest because it highlights what the Federal Communications Commission wants consumers to know.
Moskowitz added that media coverage of the ordinance was important in raising awareness about cellphone radiation.
“This ordinance will have widespread implications for other localities that have been trying to adopt similar laws,” Moskowitz said. “I think they are all watching the outcome of the Berkeley case because they don’t want to engage in action that is futile for them.”

Source: The Hearing Journal,Vol. 65 Issue 10
Ernest Hemingway once said, “Retirement is the ugliest word in the language” and in today’s society, it is true. Many baby boomers may yearn for retirement, but uncertain finances and healthcare have influenced the need to stay in the workforce longer. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that the percentage of workers between the ages of 65 to 74 is expected to increase by 83.4 percent from 2006 to 2016. (See FastLinks.) But as boomers stay in the workforce longer, untreated hearing loss may sap their incomes and employment.
Research reported by the Better Hearing Institute demonstrated that the use of hearing aids reduces the risk of losing income by 90 to 100 percent for those with mild hearing loss and 65 to 77 for those with moderate to severe hearing loss. (See FastLinks.) Those with moderate to severe hearing loss who use aids are twice as likely to be employed as their peers who do not use.
The verdict seems clear. Boomers with hearing problems “can continue doing their jobs at a satisfactory level if they do obtain hearing aids,” said Robyn Cox, PhD, a professor of audiology at the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Memphis.
Then why are baby boomers not having routine hearing checks and, if they do have hearing loss, use hearing aids? Dr. Cox said she believes the problem is innate in current medical care. “Routine hearing checks are not part of the culture,” she said. “We get all types of checks but neglect our hearing. We have not taught people to realize that hearing needs to be checked.”

Tucker never considered opting out, hopes to finish his career in Houston
HOUSTON - Forward P.J. Tucker is one of the key reasons the Houston Rockets are able to use their small-ball strategy.
Tucker plays far bigger than 6’5” with a heart to match.
And he never thought for one second about opting out and not playing this season.
“I want to play basketball,” Tucker said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. “I love playing basketball. I got an 8-year-old son that loves watching me play. He’s so excited right now. He’s super-hyped for me to go play.”
P.J. is referring to his son, King Tucker.
“Just now when I left the house, he was so hyped,” Tucker said. “His dad’s leaving for two or three months, but he’s so happy just because he gets to see me play basketball on TV.”
Tucker has three children.
“I’ve been with them since the COVID hit,” Tucker said. “(King) has been by my side every day and all the rest of my kids. Of course, I’m a dad. I want to see my kids every single day, but it’s one of those situations that’s a special situation, us having to leave. It’s tough, yeah, but at the same time we’re gone a lot during the season. It’s just how it goes right now.”
Tucker and his Rockets are in the midst of uncharted waters.
They’ll be playing the final eight games of the regular season and the playoffs in the NBA’s bubble in Orlando, Fla.
“It’s hard to have an opinion, because we haven’t done it,” Tucker said. “Nobody’s done it. It’s gonna be a first time for everybody. That’s a good thing. I think we’ll just figure it out. Wide World of Sports, Disney, is a place that all of us played against each other back when we were young. So, I think that will be a fun experience, kind of revisit our old AAU days of being down there and playing.”

Tucker likes the Rockets’ chances to bring home the third NBA championship in franchise history.
“I think anybody can win it, so I say why not us,” Tucker said. “Nobody has any edge over anybody right now. Everybody’s been at home. So, I think whoever puts it together the fastest, whoever jells and gets it going the fastest, will probably be the winner.”
“Since I’ve been here we’ve had the same demeanor, the same swagger. We’ve always felt like we were one of the best teams in the league. We’ve had a chance to win it every single year. It’s hard to truly say that and really mean it and really have a chance. Not too many people get to say that.”
The Rockets will have about three weeks to get ready for the final eight games of the regular season, giving guys like Robert Covington and Jeff Green the time needed on the practice floor to adjust to their small-ball system.
“I don’t think that is a big deal,” Tucker said. “All those guys, Jeff knows, Robert knows, those guys have done small ball and played different positions. That’s the good thing about them and that’s why we got them. They know how to play different positions.
“More than anything, it’s just having our entire team together and being able to work together. That time apart is gonna hurt everybody a little bit I think, but I think we’re one of those teams that could be quick to get back to it.”
Tucker, the heart and soul of the Rockets defense, has one year left on his contract following this season.
He’d like to get an extension that will allow him to finish his career in a Rockets uniform.
“Of course, I love Houston,” Tucker said. “I’ve said it many times. I want to retire as a Houston Rocket. I love it here. The fans, the city, have embraced me since day one. I love being here. I never want to leave. So, fingers crossed, I hope we can strike a deal and get it done.”


2. The NY Jets could trade Denzel Mims to the New England Patriots
Another team that's reportedly interested in trading for Mims is one of the Jets' AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots. We've seen the Jets and Patriots become more open to trading with one another in recent years, and this could be another opportunity for it.
The Patriots' wide receiver room is underwhelming entering the 2023 season. DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and JuJu Smith-Schuster project as the starting trio and the team's depth behind them is inexperienced.
New England could benefit from adding an X receiver behind Parker, as none of the other players on their roster really fill that role. Mims would make a ton of sense.
The Patriots have been known to love adding former Jets players under Bill Belichick, and Mims could be the latest addition to that ever-growing list.
1. The NY Jets could trade Denzel Mims to the Pittsburgh Steelers
No team makes more sense as a potential landing spot for Mims than the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are the third and final team that is reportedly interested in trading for Mims, and it's easy to see why.
Mims' former wide receivers coach at Baylor, Frisman Jackson, is the Steelers' current wide receivers coach. Not only that, but his other former co-offensive coordinator at Baylor, Glenn Thomas, is an offensive assistant on Pittsburgh's staff.
That's two of Mims' most prominent former offensive coaches who are members of the Steelers coaching staff. Connections matter in the NFL, and that might just be the case here.
The Steelers could use the additional wide receiver depth behind George Pickens, Diontae Johnson, and Allen Robinson too. Don't be surprised if Mims ends up in Pittsburgh one way or another.


Author Sudha Murthy is a spontaneous speaker and notes that she has “never ever prepared any speech”. It will be no different at the 13th edition of The Penguin Annual Lecture in Delhi this week. She will decide what to say there and then. “All my experiences are true and fascinating, and people like to listen to the truth rather than imagination,” says Murthy, who is also the chairperson of Infosys Foundation.
To be held on December 11 at The Imperial in Delhi, the lecture titled “Storytelling and Social Change: How Literature Influences Who We Are and What We Do”, will see Murthy bring two of her passions together — storytelling and social work — to showcase a deep-rooted connection between literary arts and philanthropy, taking cues from her written work and life experiences.
“I’ve been writing since the age of 15, it is the expression of joy, anxiety and happiness. I have unexpectedly found that reading has sparked an interest in some men, women and even children to begin to make a difference in a small way. To me, that is the real success of my work,” she says.
Recipient of the 2006 RK Narayan Award for Literature, Murthy has written over 30 books, including novels, collections of short stories and non-fiction. Recently, her experience of being the lone female student at BVB College of Engineering and Technology, in Hubli, which did not even have a girls’ washroom, went viral on social media after she spoke about it on the show Kaun Banega Crorepati. It is one of the many stories that make her 2017 book Three Thousand Stitches: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives.
Lately, she also released the fourth book in her popular mythology series for children, titled The Daughter from a Wishing Tree: Unusual Tales about Women in Mythology. “Mythology is written mostly by men and usually talked about from their point of view. There are so many women who have silently worked and have given so much courage to their husbands, but are not talked about. We only talk about Sita and Draupadi, but there are so many more. So it was that gap that made me write about unknown women who played an important role in mythology,” she says.

Guam – A Legacy of Peace and Friendship – recognizing and commemorating 75 years of liberty and freedom.
The 75th Guam Liberation Committee held its first press conference Wednesday morning at the Governor’s Complex in Adelup to introduce the theme of this year’s Liberation festivities — “A Legacy of Peace and Friendship.”
The committee also announced the official calendar of events, the launch of a website and Facebook page as official communication platforms for event information, and revealed a new logo design.
Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero addressed the media on some of the highlights of Guam’s s 75th Liberation festivities noting that the annual event is about commemorating and memorializing those who endured the ravages of war.
“It’s coming together to honor the members of our community and to honor our survivors who have gone through so much pain… atrocities during the war. But now experiencing harmony, and peace, and friendship within our island.” Leon Guerrero said.
Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio unveiled the new logo, which featured two styles, one in English and one in CHamoru and made announcements for key celebrations for this summer’s celebrations.
“We made a decision to move the Micronesian Island Fair to .Hagåtña. It will begin on May 29, and it will be at the Plaza de España,” Tenorio said, adding, “The following week, we will open the Guam Island Fair, which is casually known at the Liberation Carnival. For the whole month of June, our theme will be celebrating our island’s diversity.”
With all the different happenings we asked the governor what she believes the greatest impact the liberation of 1944 had on survivors.
“The strength of the people and the perseverance of the people. And the resilience of our people. And you see this every time, when there’s natural disasters that happen. We don’t sit back and complain, we all rally together to help each other; to lift each other up. that’s I think the resounding thing that has happened. It’s made us realize that in order to survive we need to work with each other, and to help each other,” Leon Guerrero said.

Workers’ compensation insurance covers damages related to injuries that employees sustain at their place of work or while performing job-related duties. In some cases, it also covers occupational diseases that develop as a direct result of the employee’s profession.
Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies often dispute workers’ compensation claims. Some employers threaten to terminate their workers if they file for benefits. If you are in this situation, contact Goodrich and Associates, P.C.
Jack Goodrich is an accident lawyer in Pittsburgh who will evaluate your case and provide comprehensive legal guidance. Call 412-261-4663 to schedule a consultation.
Could I Lose My Job for Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, employees who sustain injuries on the job are eligible to receive employer-paid medical treatment, as well as additional benefits to compensate for lost wages if they miss more than seven days of work. Since workers’ compensation is an insurance program that employers must pay into, they are not necessarily paying these benefits directly. Despite this fact, some companies may lead employees to believe that if they file workers’ compensation claims, it’s going to hurt the company.
Even if you love working for your employer, you should not have to worry about protecting their bottom line if you sustain debilitating injuries. If you want to file a workers’ comp claim, you should not fear for your job.
Pennsylvania may be an at-will employment state, but if your employer fires you for pursuing workers’ compensation, that is a form of discrimination. Under the at-will employment model, employers can fire employees for any reason—except discrimination.
I Was Terminated after Filing a Workers’ Comp Claim – What Should I Do?
Although it is technically illegal for employers to terminate workers just for filing for workers’ comp, it still happens. If your employer fires you immediately after you file a workers’ comp claim, you may have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.
There are several scenarios when employers try to convince workers not to file for benefits. For example, if you sustained serious injuries in a car crash while on the job, your employer may say that since it was a third party’s fault, you should not hold your company liable; however, employers should know the risks of sending their employees out on the road while on the clock. In fact, organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration even develop initiatives to help employers reduce the risk of such injuries and, subsequently, their liability.
If you were injured at work, attorney Jack Goodrich will explain your rights and help you enforce them. If your employer or the insurance company disputes your claim, Mr. Goodrich will evaluate their reason and help you gather the necessary evidence to prove that you are entitled to benefits.
Call 412-261-4663 to schedule an initial consultation with a Pittsburgh injury attorney. You can learn more about workers’ compensation claims in Pennsylvania by visiting USAttorneys.com.

Archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences has discovered a treasure hoard near the Nerl-Klyazminskaya river, in the Suzdal Opolye region of Russia.
The hoard was uncovered during ongoing surveys of a previously unexplored area in an ancient settlement, where fragments of jewellery appeared on the surface due to agricultural activity.
This led to an exploratory 2×2 metre pit being excavated, revealing Volga-Finnish jewellery deposits from the period of the Great Nations Migration from the middle of the 1st millennium AD.
The treasure consists of ornaments for a traditional female costume, typical of the Volga Finns’ culture, and an imported metal bowl. The Volga Finns (sometimes referred to as Eastern Finns) are a historical group of indigenous peoples of Russia living in the vicinity of the Volga.
The history and nature of the development of the Suzdal Opolye in the 1st millennium still remains unexplored. Traditionally, it is believed that the predecessors of the Slavic population on the territory of North-Eastern Russia was one of the groups of the Volga-Finnish tribes, recorded in the Russian chronicles under the name “Merya”.
The ornamental deposit includes three bracelets made of beads, and over 300 small beads which were probably embroidered onto a decayed piece of clothing.
The researchers also discovered six cast hollow “duck” pendants suspended on a leather cord with threaded metal beads, typical of the Finno-Ugric cultures inhabiting the space between the Volga and the Urals, and a round openwork fastener plaque.
Archaeologists suggest that the ornaments were deposited in a box made of birch bark (of which only a few fragments have survived) in the central part of the settlement, but the reason for hiding the treasure is still a mystery.
The treasure hoard also included a metal bowl with a loop-shaped handle, that appears to be a middle eastern import, but predates the ornamental deposit.
Alexander Morozov of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences said: “These are not just collected items: they are elements of a woman’s costume. The find lifts the veil over the “Finnish prehistory” of the Suzdal Opolye, which is known today to historians and archaeologists mainly as one of the centres of ancient Russian culture. Further research of the objects of the treasure and the settlement will make it possible to understand how Opolye was developed in the period preceding the Slavic colonisation.”

Christine Stoddard’s chapbook has a striking cover, with the title in large block letters that appear to be cut out of fabric, like quilt pieces. The letters are in black and dark grey, against a cream background. A fitting cover for a chapbook whose narrative arc is that of a biracial girl (mestiza). The poems give readers a glimpse into the speaker’s experience of growing up biracial. We get the first intimation of stigma as early as pregnancy, when her mother “prayed/for my beauty to take after/my father’s blond locks.” In “Separate Stars” the speaker and her mother “cut our/silhouettes out/from dusky velvet/because silhouettes/are all the same color." The child’s search for sameness, for belonging, continues as she and her father stand side by side while looking in a mirror:
Instead, I focus on how my yellow skin
contrast to his ivory complexion
(Father-Daughter Mirror Play)
In “Saved,” Stoddard shares how “any biracial child with/a white parent” has to choose “to identify as the oppressed/or the oppressor.” These poems are full of choices; her parents’ decision to marry despite the disapproval of her father’s family, their bouts of homelessness because that family wouldn’t help, the speaker’s choice of church and husband.
The seventeen poems in this tightly-written narrative chapbook are grounded firmly in New York, packed full of imagery of places such as the Rockaways, Harlem, Macy’s on 34th, 11th Street, Morningside Heights, Washington Heights, and “going to the beach/by A train.”
Harlem Mestiza is available from Maverick Duck Press, for 6$, here.
Nina Bennett is the author of Mix Tape, a rock and roll chapbook, available here.

Turning to his disciple in private, he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. Luke 10:23
This past summer, as I walked through our neighborhood, I passed two elderly women walking arm in arm. One of the woman was blind, her gaze completely unfocused. Nonetheless, the two of them strolled merrily as they passed a bush adorned with red roses.
“The roses look like wine” said the full-sighted woman. I watched as she picked a flower for her blind companion. Their friendship was wondrous to behold.
Now that Advent is here, the rose bushes are weighted down with snow. With the cold winds of December blowing, I doubt the two women will venture out again until spring. But their image remains with me.
During these Advent days, watch for beautiful sights. Let your eyes be blessed.
