Trump acquittal vote now set for Wednesday; Senate nixes witnesses
WASHINGTON — The Senate narrowly rejected Democratic demands to summon witnesses for President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial late Friday, all but ensuring Trump’s acquittal in just the third trial to threaten a president’s removal in U.S. history. But senators moved to push off final voting on his fate to next Wednesday.
The delay in timing showed the weight of a historic vote bearing down on senators, despite prodding by the president eager to have acquittal behind him in an election year and ahead of his State of the Union speech Tuesday.
Under an agreement set on Friday night, the trial will resume Monday for final arguments, with time Monday and Tuesday for senators to speak. The final voting is set for Wednesday, the day after Trump’s speech.
Trump’s acquittal appeared all but set after a hard-fought effort to allow new witness es was defeated 51-49 on a near party-line vote. Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah voted with the Democrats, but that was not enough.
Despite the Democrats singular focus on hearing new testimony, the Republican majority brushed past those demands to make this the first impeachment trial without witnesses. Even new revelations Friday from former national security adviser John Bolton did not sway GOP senators, who said they’d heard enough.
That means the eventual outcome for Trump will be an acquittal “in name only,” said Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., a House prosecutor, during final debate. Some called it a cover-up.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called Friday night’s results “a tragedy on a very large scale.” Protesters’ chants reverberated against the walls of the Capitol.
But Republicans said Trump’s acquittal is justified and inevitable.
“The sooner the better for the country,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump confidant. “Let’s turn the page.”
The next steps come in the heart of presidential campaign season before a divided nation. Democratic caucus voting begins Monday in Iowa, and Trump gives his State of the Union address the next night. Four Democratic candidates have been chafing in the Senate chamber rather than campaigning.
Trump was impeached by the House last month on charges the he abused power and obstructed Congress like no other president has done as he tried to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden, and then blocked the congressional probe of his actions.
The Democrats had badly wanted testimony from Bolton, whose forthcoming book links Trump directly to the charges. But Bolton won’t be summoned, and none of this appeared to affect the trial’s expected outcome. Democrats forced a series of procedural votes late Friday to call Bolton and White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, among others, but they were all being rejected.
In an unpublished manuscript, Bolton writes that the president asked him during an Oval Office meeting in early May to bolster his effort to get Ukraine to investigate Democrats, according to a person who read the passage and told The Associated Press. The person, who was not authorized to disclose contents of the book, spoke only on condition of anonymity.
In the meeting, Bolton said the president asked him to call new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and persuade him to meet with Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who was planning to go to Ukraine to coax the Ukrainians to investigate the president’s political rivals. Bolton writes that he never made the call to Zelenskiy after the meeting, which included acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone.
The revelation adds more detail to allegations of when and how Trump first sought to influence Ukraine to aid investigations of his rivals .

Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, are you there?
I have bad news. What you have heard does not exist. It is absolute hogwash concocted by the sovereign citizen movement to try and explain how laws don't apply to them. There is no truth to it and courts always reject it as nonsense.
I understand and if you wish to do so I encourage it. The theories you discuss are nonsense and have been debunked by the courts. Still, some people choose to believe that they are trusts for themselves, are not "persons" within the meaning of the law and all kinds of other sillyness.
It all goes nowhere.
Best of luck to you.

So I received another new program information from Zak: cashback through shopmate
you need an account on shopmate and then they credit cashback directly to your zak account. Some seems promising or at least not so crappy like 5% cashback on Booking.com
Anybody tried it? For the moment I simply created an account on shopmate. The video makes it seems easy, but it’s only like that in videos:
Anyhow if I can get 5% on booking.com, why not?
Why not use Shopmate directly? Zak’s FAQ “Wieso soll ich über Zak auf shopmate zugreifen?” isn’t that convincing. Actually Booking.com “cashback” seems higher with Shopmate (7% + 15% Discount).
In addition I don’t quite get the business model of Shopmate and what part the consumer plays in it. It doesn’t appear to be “cashback” but promotion.
I didn’t know you could use shopmate directly, but actually it does seems like a huge difference if you do it with Zak. With Zak you get hard cash on your account, although less than the % you get with shopmate, but that you can only use as “rabatte” to buy in other shop partner promoted there.
Wenn du über den Zak Store auf shopmate zugreifst, erhältst du das Cashback direkt auf dein Zak-Konto gutgeschrieben. In der Einführungsphase bietet shopmate exklusive Cashback-Angebote auf ausgewählte Partnershops für Zak-Kunden an.
Yes, you can register apparently. Also, according to their FAQs you can get your cashback to your bank account starting with 2 EUR.
So 7% alone beat 5%.

I don’t have an iPhone, and I refuse to carry them because they’re immensely hackable.” – Dan Aykroyd “I don’t need fame anymore. People are less interested in me in terms of celebrity. I’m happy to see a new generation being the media focus. I’m happy my day is done. It’s over.” – Dan Aykroyd “James Brown opened at least six of our House of Blues clubs.

A small, dreary town. A group of youths hang out together – on the playground, on the street, in the pub. They drink, have sex, cheat on each other, slag each other off, get on each other’s nerves, put up with each other. They are bored and frustrated with the emptiness in and around them. Because it seem as if it always was, and always will be, this way. Because they cannot imagine anything different. Then Jorgos shows up. The youth sparks off desires and aggressions and challenges the old established order.

Was getting really cheesed off with one of my three cameras because the batteries appeared run out but not getting any warning. I’m assuming that was the problem because the camera started to work again with new batteries. So I went to the trouble of running a USB cable to it which was ok for the first 24 hours where I had to disconnect and reconnect it because it stopped working. 24 hours later it stops working again, camera is clicking on and off when there’s motion or live view request but no recording takes place. Really sick and tired with this system, there’s too many problems and the intercom is crap too. Wish I’d invested in a proper CCTV system.
It’s what everyone wants. A proper system but at the Blink price.

With a week to go of the transfer window, will Liverpool be doing any more business?
Boss Jurgen Klopp clearly cannot wait, after telling a press conference how he ‘can’t believe how obsessed you all are with the transfer window’.
The Reds were poor at the weekend as they
lost 2-0 at Premier League newcomers Burnley, before bouncing back to hammer Championship side Burton 5-0 in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.
READ MORE: One player each Premier League team should sign in the transfer window
The German named a strong side for the trip to the Pirelli Stadium, saying beforehand how he will not use the matches to give fringe players a run out.
The Merseysiders have spent over £60m in the summer, making nearly £80m in sales.
Fans are clearly not keen on full-back Alberto Moreno and James Milner has already been used there this season. Could a new left-back be on the shopping list before next Wednesday evening’s deadline?
talkSPORT has done a round-up of the latest transfer stories to emerge from the club, with possible movements both in and out of Liverpool. Click the right arrow, above, to see who could be coming and going in the next seven days and comment below with who you think Klopp should recruit.
James Rodriguez, midfielder – Real Madrid: Click the right arrow above to find out the latest Liverpool transfer news… – According to the Express, reports in Spain suggest Liverpool have asked Real Madrid what it would take to bring James Rodriguez to Anfield. The Colombian is also attracting interest from Chelsea, who have reportedly submitted a £60m bid. He could be an exciting coup, but is he really what they need right now?
Bruno Martins Indi, defender – FC Porto – Turkish outlet Fanatik claim the Reds have submitted a bid for Porto defender Bruno Martins Indi. Alberto Morenos left-back spot is under threat at Anfield and Dutchman Martins Indi can play both centre-back and left back. The 24-year-old, who was sent off in his last appearance for Netherlands, played 30 times for the Portuguese outfit last season. Liverpool have reportedly offered £4.3m, while it is claimed Porto are holding out for £6m.
Moussa Sissoko, midfielder – Newcastle United – Liverpool will have to be quick if they are still keen on summer target Moussa Sissoko. The Newcastle midfielder could be joining Frank De Boer at the San Siro after Inter Milan opened talks about a £35m move. A last-minute move would be unlikely, given Liverpools current midfield options, including former Magpies man Georginio Wijnaldum.
Mamadou Sakho, defender – The French defender is available again after a ban at the end of last season for failing a drugs test. He was later cleared by UEFA and, while Klopp is still a big fan of the 26-year-old despite sending him home from the USA tour in pre-season, Liverpool are ready to send him out on loan to regain his form and fitness. The Daily Mail reports David Moyes Sunderland have turned down the chance to sign Sakho on loan. The Black Cats, however, are close to securing former Liverpool loanee Javier Manquillo on loan from Atletico Madrid.
Mario Balotelli, striker – Mario Balotellis career at Anfield is clearly over and it never really got going. Last week, Championship side Wolves were linked with the Italian, while Serie A side Sassuolo claim to have turned down the chance to recruit the striker. And now, interestingly, Everton are one of the clubs strongly linked to securing his signature how interesting that would be. But if the 26-year-old fancies a return to his homeland, Palermo could be a likely destination after fans held a banner on the gates of their stadium urging the club to sign him. Quoted in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Palermo owner Maurizio Zamparini said: Balotelli has not been offered to us but I dont believe it would solely be a matter of finance because I think they need to sell. If [Mino] Raiola does propose him to us then we could start talking, why not. I could be like a father [figure] to Balotelli. Alternatively, reports in Italy also claim Jose Mourinho would be interested in working with Balotelli again at Manchester United. Intriguing!
Luis Alberto, midfielder – Sorry Liverpool fans, we are not telling you Luca Modric is going to join Liverpool. Remember Luis Alberto? The former Barcelona B starlet is pictured here during his loan spell at Deportivo La Coruna last season. He certainly created a lot of excitement on Merseyside when he joined in 2013 but he has failed to live up to expectations. Still only 23, attacker Alberto is set to go out on loan after Liverpool accepted an offer from Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

At least 168 people have been killed in the tsunami that has ravaged Indonesia. That volcanic tsunami that has hit the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra has left at least 745 people injured as per last reports. At least 30 others are unaccounted for.
The tsunami, caused by the eruption of an island volcano, sent a wall of water crashing ashore and swept away people attending a beach concert along with hundreds of houses including hotels, the government and witnesses said.
VIDEO reportedly from tsunami coming ashore in Indonesia pic.twitter.com/6oSRFcXYETLIVE Breaking News (@NewsBreaking) December 23, 2018
The disaster could have been caused by undersea landslides from the eruption of Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island formed over years from the nearby Krakatau volcano, scientists from Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said. They also cited tidal waves caused by the full moon.
Footage posted on social media showed a pop band named "Seventeen" performing for employees from a local electric company under a tent on a beach as dozens of people sat listening at tables covered in white cloths. As bright strobe lights flashed on stage, a child could be seen wandering through the crowd. Then, as the second song was about to begin with the drummer pounding, the stage suddenly heaved forward, throwing the band and all their equipment into the audience.
The tsunami that happened in Indonesia this morning caught on camera smashing through a live performing band. I hope everyone made it out alive ?? pic.twitter.com/oJeIszXl2kWell I am confusion ? (@ShuckMyBhauls) December 23, 2018
The band released a statement saying their bass player and road manager were found dead, while three other band members and the wife of one of the performers remained missing.
Tourists were also affected during the long holiday weekend ahead of Christmas. Australia and New Zealand said they have no information their citizens were among the victims but were continuing to check.
Saturday's tsunami triggered memories for some of the massive 9.1-magnitude earthquake that hit on December 26, 2004. It spawned a giant tsunami off Sumatra island in western Indonesia, killing more than 2,30,000 people in a dozen countries the majority in Indonesia.
Banten awaits rescue
The worst affected area was the Pandeglang region of Banten province in Java, which encompasses the Ujung Kulon National Park and popular beaches, the state disaster agency said. Disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said 168 deaths have been confirmed so far and another 30 people are missing. Also, 745 were injured. He said those numbers may still rise since not all affected areas have been reached.
In the city of Bandar Lampung on southern Sumatra, hundreds of residents took refuge at the governor's office.
Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo expressed his sympathy and ordered government agencies to respond quickly to the disaster.
"My deep condolences to the victims in Banten and Lumpung provinces," he said. "Hopefully, those who are left have patience."
Physical losses included 430 heavily damaged homes, nine heavily damaged hotels and 10 heavily damaged vessels. Footage posted by the head of the disaster agency showed the aftermath of flooded streets and an overturned car.

Anak Krakatau volcano
The Anak Krakatau volcano in the Sunda Strait that links the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea erupted about 24 minutes before the tsunami, the geophysics agency said.
The 305-meter (1,000-foot) -high volcano, about 200 kilometres (124 miles) southwest of capital Jakarta, has been erupting since June. In July, authorities widened its no-go areas to 2 kilometres (1.24 miles) from the crater.
Gegar Prasetya, the co-founder of the Tsunami Research Center Indonesia, said the waves were likely caused by a flank collapse - when a big section of a volcano's slope gives way. He said it's possible for an eruption to trigger a landslide above ground or beneath the ocean, both capable of producing a tsunami.
"Actually, the tsunami was not really big, only one meter," said Prasetya, who has closely studied Krakatau. "The problem is people always tend to build everything close to the shoreline."

Christina Aguilera breaks ChinaChristina Aguilera is set to perform in China next month, despite concerns her act is too raunchy.
The 'Dirrty' singer has been given permission from the Chinese government to appear at Shanghai's Grand Stage for a June 26th concert.
A source told E! Online: "Not every foreign artist has the luck to win Beijing's approval and Christina's sexy performance had been a concern when applying for permission to perform."
It is not know whether Christina - whose Shanghai concert will be her only Chinese show during her 'Back to Basics' tour - will have to change aspects of her act to comply with China's strict decency laws.
Last year, rapper Jay-Z's Shanghai concert was cancelled after his lyrics were deemed too vulgar for Chinese audiences.
The Rolling Stones were given the go-ahead to perform after they agreed to omit certain songs deemed inappropriate by regulators, including 'Let's Spend the Night Together' and 'Beast of Burden'.

text: Blame Leaders on the Right for This, Not Wingnuts They're spouting evil, and this is the result By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Jul 17, 2010 9:39 AM CDT 174 comments Comments The billboard ordered and paid for by the North Iowa Tea Party. (AP Photo/Globe Gazette, Deb Nicklay) (Newser) – The billboard in Iowa grouping President Obama with Hitler and Lenin probably won't be the last of its kind, writes Dana Milbank. And it's not enough to blame the local Tea Party "geniuses" in Mason City for spreading the "vile" message: This "was not a one-off by a fringe group," he writes at the Washington Post. "It was a logical expression of a message supported by conservative thought leaders and propagated by high-level Republican politicians." Consider that just before the billboard went up, conservative Thomas Sowell wrote this "irresponsible" column with the same theme, writes Milbank. Sarah Palin then tweeted that people must read it. "Sowell to Palin to Mason City: They spread Nazi labels as smoothly as Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance turned double plays." Apparently, there's not a "grown-up" on the right who's willing to speak up when messages like this spin out of control.

Councillors said they were surprised to see it on the agenda, but they unanimously approved $20,000 last week for detailed design work on what's now being called the Jensen Greenway.
Director of engineering Vaughn Figueira was seeking Parksville city council's direction on planned works to improve Corfield Street, a $230,000 project council also unanimously approved last week. How that work was going to look was contingent on what council decided to do with the Jensen Avenue extension plan, a much-discussed roadway that would essentially connect Jensen to the Island Highway at McVickers Street.
During a special meeting earlier this month, council and a full gallery of residents heard from a consultant that the Jensen extension was not needed for traffic-volume reasons, not now or in the next 15 years. At that time, one of the ideas floated for the city-owned land in that corridor between Corfield and Jensen was a pedestrian-cycling greenway. It was just an idea and council made no commitment to the plan, which is why some of them raised eyebrows last week when they were asked to commit city money to the greenway's detailed design.
"I was surprised to see the greenway (on the agenda)," said Coun. Sue Powell. "Normally (direction) comes from council to staff. I wonder why it seems reversed this time."
Figueira said it would be "difficult if not impossible" to proceed with the upgrading of Corfield Street without addressing the Jensen corridor situation.
"I think it (the greenway) is a good idea, but I'm a little uncomfortable about the process, how it's come about," said Coun. Kirk Oates.
Other councillors echoed the comments of Powell and Oates.
Council did approve both expenditures unanimously. Figueira said the public will have a chance to provide input on the projects and council can still change its mind in relation to the actual construction of the greenway.
Corfield Street will get what's called a "full upgrade" from Stanford Avenue to the Island Highway, including water and sewer work and sidewalks for both sides of the road.
In other city council news from last week:
• Council learned Morningstar Golf Course will be hosting the 2016 Canadian University Golf Championships May 30-June 3, an event which will bring a considerable amount of money and exposure to Parksville, including 1,000 hotel nights. For more on this event, see our sports section in Thursday's edition of The NEWS.
• Council received a report from the Bard to Broadway Theatre Society about the city-owned Shelly Road Centre. The society manages the centre for the city.
"The facility is being very well used, particularly by many non-profit groups in our community, groups that cannot afford to use other facilities," said the society's Don Harper. "We believe Parksville needs (the) Shelly Road (centre)."
The management contract with the city comes up for renewal in 2017.
• The Parksville Downtown Business Association updated council on what it has been doing and asked for 25 per cent of its annual levy collected by the city.
PDBA board members listed a number of things that have been done downtown in the past year, including new street signs, a branded crosswalk and a first for the city, a Christmas light-up event.
"I think you have come miles," said Coun. Powell, council's liaison to the PDBA. "I think you are doing a very good job."
• Council voted unanimously to appoint Sarah E. Ross as a bylaw enforcement officer, an addition to staff and a position that's part of a budget that's only been provisionally approved.
• There's a special meeting of council set for 5 p.m. Wednesday at city hall for budget deliberations. City council's next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 4 at 6 p.m. at city hall.


Sustainability for PCC BakkiSilicon is twofold. First, it’s to be able to operate for decades to come in a stable and consistent way, providing the customers with desired products, without compromising the possibilities of future generations to meet their needs. This involves taking measures to protect the biosphere in air, on land and in the ocean. Secondly, to operate in unity with and positively affect, the municipality of Húsavík and its residents. Sustainability will be integrated into daily practices and we aim to be resilient in ever changing environmental and social landscapes.


In the 1980s, insurance company Commercial Union had a very catchy tagline: "We won't make a drama out of a crisis." This phrase could be turned around for the ongoing financial markets disaster, because much drama has been made from this crisis. And out of drama comes reform.
Change comes when big drivers - i.e. crises - force the industry to address its issues. The Enron debacle gave us the Sarbanes Oxley Act, global terrorism and 9/11 spawned Know Your Customer and anti-money laundering initiatives. Now the meltdown of 2008 is about to be rewarded with comprehensive financial regulatory reform. And BP's massive oil spill in the US Gulf is going to be the game-changer for oil drilling regulation (maybe even climate change).
As with most painful events, once the drama fades the will to punish the wrongdoers often weakens. In the run-up to the two financial regulation bills - one from the House and one from the Senate - resolve appeared to be wilting. Unrelenting pressure from an army of lobbyists for the financial services industry seemed to be making progress.
Fierce lobbying seemed to stiffen the resolve of politicians instead. Now as the bills go to a committee to find middle ground, much of what is irking Wall Street may come to pass. The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that many lobbyists are now being turned away, with many being told their bank's views are already well known (imagine that!).
The Volcker Rule, once considered the most over-reaching solution possible by financial institutions, now looks certain to be included. The banks shrugged and turned their drama queen act toward Senator Blanch Lincoln's more draconian derivatives legislation. Although this one is losing momentum, with some softening indicated, it is still likely to be part of the overall package. Proposed regulation of ratings agencies (who practically minted the term 'conflict of interest') seems to be falling off the radar, however.
Whatever regulation gets through will have to be finessed and managed by the SEC and CFTC in the future. This is a task they were not up to previously. But again, perhaps lessons are being learned. According to the Washington Post, the SEC is hiring experts with specialized quantitative skills or have worked on Wall Street, thus will have a better insight of the markets they regulate.
But as regulators learn, financial institutions learn faster. They gird their loins by hiring better lawyers or even SEC executives. The secretive high frequency trading company Getco hired Elizabeth King from the SEC, she was a key associate in charge of crafting rules for the equity and option markets. Last year Goldman Sachs hired Arthur Levitt Jr., the former chairman of the SEC, to advise the bank on public policy issues. (Although this year Goldman Sachs had to hire legal gun Gregory Craig, President Obama's former legal counsel, to help fight a civil suit brought by the SEC.)
Maybe now that the last financial crisis is on its slow, bumpy way to normalcy and the drama is fading, the regulators can get on with their work and prevent the next crisis. We can only hope that the regulators will have the wherewithal to hire the right experts, buy the right monitoring technology and the power to demand the transparency needed to make sure they know what is going on. Next stop - oil drilling regulation.

One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” — Henry Miller
About 800 or so years ago, Mayans built a walled city on the Yucatan Peninsula that today we call Tulum. The citizens of this fort-like town that stood on a scenic bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea were decimated by European diseases after a Spanish Expedition discovered the place in 1518.
Time and the elements reduced it to the ruins that today attracts hundreds of daily tourists. I was one of them a few years ago.
This journey back in time required an hour’s ride in a passenger ferry from Cozumel, followed by another hour’s ride in a bus to access the historic site. The day I took the tour, the water was exuberantly choppy, turning several of the passengers green.
The bus ride, however, was more gentle and flavored by the anecdotes of Angel, our tour guide. He filled our ears with tall tales of the Mayans, of which he was a descendent. He was an excellent press agent for his people, both those of ancient times and their kin who still live on the Yucatan Peninsula.
As I wandered among the ruins, ghosts from the past haunted my thoughts, their spirits floating through the air and hiding inside the cracks of the rock structures they built. What were these people really like, I wondered.
Walking back to our bus parked at the market plaza, where souvenir venders were loudly hawking their exotic wares – Angel had told us to wait to spend our money at a genuine Mayan gift shop that we would stop at on the ride back to the ferry – I sorta got an answer.
While I didn’t buy any souvenirs, I did pay to take the picture of two young Mayan boys dressed up as their ancient ancestors might have looked getting ready for battle – or a celebration.
These theatrical youths had found an ingenious way to support themselves. In this they were probably not all that different from the early Mayans. Or us. We all struggle to put foot on our tables and a roof over our heads as we search for a purpose to life and the secret to happiness.
It’s merely the methods of doing so that separate us from past generations and other cultures.

United States Football League (1983-1984)
Born: May 11, 1982 – USFL founding franchise.
Died: November 20, 1984 – The Panthers merge with the Oakland Invaders.
Stadium: Pontiac Silverdome
Team Colors: Royal Plum, Champagne Silver, Light Blue & White
Owner: A. Alfred Taubman, Max Fisher and Peter Spivak
The Michigan Panthers were a very strong pro football entry in the United States Football League. A popular springtime alternative to the Lions for Detroit gridiron fans, the team was soon pushed out of business by the USFL’s decision to abandon its spring schedule in favor of head-to-head competition with the NFL in the fall.
During the league’s first season in the spring of 1983, the Panthers were one of the top-spending teams in the USFL. and put together a blend of NFL veterans and talented rookies. The offense, in particular, relied on a trio of rookie skill position players – unheralded Cajun quarterback Bobby Hebert out of Northwestern State (Louisiana), running back Ken Lacy from the University of Tulsa, and star wideout Anthony Carter of Michigan, who would have been a top NFL draft pick in 1983 had the Panthers not lured him away from the senior circuit.
The defense was keyed by NFL washout John Corker, who would terrorize the USFL in 1983 with 28.5 sacks from his outside linebacker position, and rookie safety David Greenwood out of Wisconsin (who doubled as the Panthers’ punter).
The Panthers got off to a weak 1-4 start before catching fire midway through the season. They won 11 of their final 13 to finish the 1983 season with a 12-6 record. As the wins mounted, fans began to take notice. When the Panthers hosted the Western Conference championship playoff game against the Oakland Invaders at the Silverdome on July 10th, 1983, a USFL record 60,237 fans showed up.
The following week, the Panthers travelled to Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado for the first USFL Championship Game against the Philadelphia Stars. The Panthers won the game 24-22 with the decisive play coming on a 4th quarter touchdown pass from Hebert to Carter.
The script flipped for the Panthers during the 1984 USFL season. Michigan got off to a hot start, racing out to a 6-0 record through the first third of the schedule. But in Week Six against the San Antonio Gunslingers, Anthony Carter broke his arm and was lost for the remainder of the season. The team went into a prolonged funk, losing eight of their next ten before rallying to win their final two games and sneak into the playoffs with a 10-8 record.
On June 30th, 1984 the Panthers played the Los Angeles Express, quarterbacked by future Hall-of-Famer Steve Young, in a first round playoff contest. The quarterfinal game turned into an epic battle, although fewer than 8,000 fans were on hand to watch it at the Coliseum. The Express finally triumphed 27-21 in the third overtime period, on a long touchdown run by future Detroit Lion Mel Gray. At three overtimes, the game remains the longest pro football game in history.
It was also the last game ever played by the Panthers. At the end of the 1984 season, USFL owners voted to shift to a fall season in 1986. The Panthers were against the move, not wishing to compete head-to-head with the NFL’s Detroit Lions. The business model shift set off a wave of relocations and mergers among the USFL franchises located in NFL markets. In the fall of 1984, the Panthers merged with the Oakland Invaders. Most of the top Panthers players, with the exception of John Corker, moved to Oakland for the USFL’s final spring season in 1985.
The Invaders, led by Hebert, Carter and other Michigan holdovers, returned to the USFL championship game in 1985. There they met the Baltimore Stars in what was to some degree a rematch of the 1983 USFL title game against the then-Philadelphia Stars. (The Stars were another relocation born out of the USFL’s planned switch to the fall). This time the Stars came out on top with a 28-24 victory at Giants Stadium on July 14, 1985. This was the final game in USFL history, as the league folded before staging its planned fall season in 1986.

Vintage Victor Perez Sk8te Board Lamp
I met skateboarder, artist Victor Perez in 2009 and bought two one of a kind lamps hand made by him, aptly named "Naked Skateboard Lamps" made from blank skateboard decks. This one was called the Cheryl Tiegs Model. They were expensive art and one of a kind. The backside of the "lamp" is a découpage of beautiful models. Signed, numbered and dated by the artist.

The Japanese manga style is broken down into three categories: Chibi, Shoujo, and Shounen. All of these terms also apply to anime.
Chibi is used to portray extreme emotions or just to mix up animations styles a bit, generally as comic relief. Chibi characters have large heads, round cheeks, massive eyes, and are highly simplified. The body is usually smaller than the head. Chibi can work in conjunction with both Shoujo and Shounen, although it is not used in grim or serious-minded stories, as it is meant usually for a bit of humor. There are anime or manga that are exclusively Chibi, but these are few and far between. An example of Chibi would be Dragon Ball.
Shoujo is generally for romance, or what I like to call ‘First World Problem’ (FWP) stories. Set in modern Japan, Shoujo is usually about sports, school, and romance… all the little frivolous issues that Japanese teens or adults face. No Shoujo character is unattractive.
Shounen is extremely detailed. Used for action and horror, although not exclusively, most of the cool stuff is done in Shounen style. In my opinion, the storylines tend to be more involved and interesting than Shoujo. Women in these stories are usually love interests or extra powerful characters. Shounen is directed mostly towards the male population with things like Dragonball Z.
There are many cases where manga or anime are a mix of both Shoujo and Shounen and the genre does not in any way constrain the style. I’ve happened upon action mangas done in Shoujo and FWPs stories in Shounen. Newer anime and mangas tend to blur the lines more frequently.
One of these mixed styles is Fairy Tail, drawn in Shoujo, but with a much more Shounen-esque story. A few great things about this manga is that it is extremely long, so plenty of reading and watching material, the main character is female, and one of the most interesting and powerful characters is a woman.
Ellie is a geek teen who loves to read, watch, draw, and talk about all things manga. When she’s not doing that, she’s playing Minecraft with her gang of friends or gaming with her family.

Property developers are looking into the long-term for recovery in the real estate sector, expecting some hiccups in the next twelve months or so.
Indeed, despite the vaccination rollout instilling some optimism in the real estate market, developers remain uncertain of the sector’s outlook in the short and medium terms due to the rise of new variants and slow-paced vaccinations, results of a survey by Cushman and Wakefield Philippines showed.
In the second edition of its COVID-19 real estate developer sentiment survey, Cushman and Wakefield found that developers are looking into the long-term for the market’s recovery.
“The return to pre-pandemic vibrancy of the real estate sector is expected to come only in the next two to three years as the short- and medium-term growth outlook remains uncertain,” Cushman and Wakefield said.
Real estate developers in the Philippines remain less optimistic in the short-term as they expect the market to remain vulnerable with weak sentiment and trimmed supply and demand, as well as declining property values and rental rates, survey results showed.
“The survey respondents expressed optimism in the mid-term (or the next 12 months) with some 31 percent expecting the real estate market to show early signs of recovery – with both supply and demand strengthening, as well as moderate growth in property values and rental rates,” Cushman and Wakefield said.
But some real estate developers see the vulnerability of the real estate market persisting in the next 12 months.
“In the long-term (or a period of two to three years), 62 percent anticipate the real estate market to build-up momentum with strong rebound of both supply and demand,” the firm said.
Within that time frame, 31 percent of developers said property values and rental rates will revert to pre-pandemic level, while the other 31 percent see moderate growth in property values and rental rates.
Stalled economic recovery
Despite the Philippines finally breaking free from the pandemic-induced recession after registering a double-digit growth of 11.8 percent in the second quarter of the year, the implementation of stricter quarantine measures this month is stalling anticipated economic recovery.
Metro Manila and several other areas have again been placed under enhanced community quarantine restriction from August 6 to 20. Currently, Metro Manila is under a modified quarantine classification until the end of the month.
Occupancy to worsen
Cushman and Wakefield said demand prospects for the majority of the real estate sub-sectors remain dim in the short term.
Based on the survey, 75 percent of hotel and retail developers said they expect that the decline in occupancy will persist in the next 12 months.
For the office sub-sector, more than half or 54 percent of office developers expect a decline in new lease volume.
Similarly, most residential developers (38 percent) expect that there will be a decline in sales transactions in the next 12 months.
In contrast, demand prospects for the industrial sub-sector are promising, with 83 percent of industrial developers expecting an increase in new lease volume, while 50 percent expect an increase in sales transactions in the next 12 months.
Rental adjustments to continue
Cushman and Wakefield emphasized that majority of the respondents in other sub-sectors, except for industrial, have made some adjustments in their rental rates amid the pandemic, with all of the survey respondents engaged in hospitality and retail having made rental adjustments over the course of the pandemic.
In addition, 62 percent of office developers and 67 percent of residential developers have implemented rental adjustments for their tenants.
Results of the survey show that these developers are likely to continue implementing rental adjustments in the near term, with 75 percent of hotel developers and 63 percent of retail developers saying they are likely to do so in the next 12 months.
In addition, 31 percent of office developers think that there will still be rental adjustments in the next 12 months, while another 31 percent believe that they are less likely to do so.
Sixty-seven percent of industrial developers, on the other hand, believe that rental adjustments are not necessary within the next 12 months.
“For tenants that were not able to operate during the varying levels of community quarantine, retail developers are still able to extend forms of rental relief. For the office sub-sector, 62 percent of the office developers no longer extend rental relief while industrial developers no longer extend assistance to tenants which have yet to resume their operations,” Cushman and Wakefield said.
Uneven market recovery
Cushman & Wakefield Philippines Director and Head of Research, Consulting & Advisory Services Claro Cordero said that market recovery will be uneven across the real estate sub-sectors.
Bright spots seen amid challenges
Despite the pandemic providing more challenges in the medium term, Cushman and Wakefield said there are still several new trends that present various opportunities for the industry’s future growth such as the country’s real estate investment trust (REIT) market.
“The success of the recent listings prompted more local real estate developers to tap into the REIT market. Several developers have lined up REIT listings, showing the potential of this investment vehicle to answer the demand for alternative investment instruments,” Cordero said.
REITs in the market are Ayala’s AREIT Inc., Double Dragon’s DDMP REIT Inc., and Filinvest REIT Corp. of the Filinvest Group.
Megaworld Corp.’s MREIT Inc. and Robinsons Land Corp.’s RL Commercial REIT are gearing up for public listing as well.
A well-diversified REIT vehicle provides downside protection and creates value for its unit holders.
Aside from the REIT market, Cushman and Wakefield also highlighted the opportunities from the growth of the e-commerce market.
“Several shopping mall operators and developers have implemented online ordering, payment, and delivery systems – allowing continued patronage and support for their respective tenants, especially during stricter community quarantine measures,” Cushman and Wakefield said.
“Moving forward, as the vaccination program covers more areas, consumer and market mobility will be the key to unlock the still strong pent-up demand and stunted growth of the market,” Cordero concluded.

The ground shook at the instant the voice of Mexican music star Alejandro Fernandez collided with the deafening cheers of fans gathered for his first concert in Venezuela in over a decade.
After an initial shocked pause at seeing the artist finally take the stage, the crowd, cellphones in hand, joined him in singing “Sin Tantita Pena” — “Without Too Much Pity.”
“It’s beautiful to be in Venezuela,” he said to screams and whistles from the sold-out audience, some of whom had taken out loans to see him perform this month at a 5,000-capacity theater in Caracas, the capital. “Beautiful, dear, Venezuela that I always carry in my heart.”
Prominent artists are returning to stages in the South American country this year after leaving it out of tours for years. Multilingual vocal group Il Divo and Latin Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Kany Garcia are among those with…

As one can imagine, LGBTQ and Human Rights Groups have been going crazy over the latest reports out of Chechnya that gay men are being rounded up and tortured in concentration camps. Now those same groups are urging the Canadian Government to grant victimized Chechen homosexuals refugee status to Canada to aid in their escape. But it looks like Canada is saying no.
“In order to be considered for resettlement, individuals must be outside their country of origin,” Department of Immigration spokesman, Remi Lariviere said. The Russian LGBT Network has found shelter for about 30 Chechen men but because Chechnya is a semi-autonomous republic within the Russian Federation, these men don’t qualify as refugees.
Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen refused to make any commitments stating, “We strongly support that community and the difficulties that they are going through.” But he would not promise any specific action, only to say he was “responsibly looking at what options we have in responding to that really difficult situation in a complex and volatile region.”
The sad reality is that Russia isn’t a safe place for homosexuals, especially the men. There are widespread reports of hate crimes going unpunished and the only thing standing in their way to escape is a Visa to Canada.
Let’s hope no more gay have to die before this policy is changed.

As Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the summer in the United States, what better time than to look back on a winter spent in the world’s coldest city? Yakutsk, the capital of Russia’s Sakha Republic, may or may not be Arctic. I asked a few residents and its designation seemed to be up for debate. The cold, however, is undeniable. The mercury drops to -60° in winter, but while I was there in February, the unusually warm temperatures of -35° and sometimes even -25° made people announce that spring was already here. But no one was taking off their fur hat.
I was told that Yakutsk is so cold because the mountains surrounding the city trap all the frigid air. Situated in the middle of Russia’s largest republic smack dab in the center of the Russian Far East, Yakutsk is one of the world’s most remote cities and has no permanent connection to the outside world. There’s a thoroughly modern airport with international flights to places like China and South Korea, but no bridge to the Russian railroad and highway systems that terminate on the other side of the massive Lena River. Effectively, Yakutsk is a city of 300,000 people that, despite being in the middle of nowhere by most standards still appears vibrantly cosmopolitan in many ways. Yakutsk feels like it’s straddling two continents, Asia and Europe. Some people have narrow green eyes and red hair, while others look more typically Asian. Yet nearly everyone speaks Russian, and many are also practicing Orthodox Christians. More than half of Yakutsk’s cars are imported from Japan and thus have their steering wheel on the right side, but the cars drive on the right side. Buses, however, are always made in Russia and have their steering wheels on the left side – “for safety,” as one person told me.
Yakutsk also feels like a city that is straddling time, for the its built environment fuses its traditional heritage, Soviet past, and Asian-oriented future. Walking north along the main boulevard, there’s a green wooden building sinking into the permafrost with an old poster advertising an emergency number in Soviet times on its side. A few meters away stands a billboard for medical tourism in South Korea. Farther up the boulevard sits a huge concrete monument, likely built in Soviet times, featuring the horse-hitching posts emblematic of the region. North of that lies the Chinese market. The vendors, most of whom come from the northeast Chinese city of Harbin, used to sell their wares outdoors until Chinese money funded the construction of a permanent building. They may not have been as hardy as the locals, who still continue to sell their frozen fish, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables out of doors in winter. At the indoor Chinese market, all sorts of goods made in China are for sale including medicinal products, knock-off traditional Yakut boots (onti), and souvenirs like teacups and plates decorated with Yakut horses.
So what is day to day life like in winter the world’s coldest city?
