Early in his political career, Rep. Vito Barbieri of Dalton Gardens learned an important lesson about public speaking — specifically, knowing his audience before he picked a topic.
“I was asked to speak to a chamber of commerce event … and it struck me right in the face,” said Barbieri, who is in his fourth term. “I went there saying that business can no longer expect government to protect their industries … and they didn’t like that at all.”
That was the beginning of his frosty relationship with the local chamber; it hasn’t gotten better. Barbieri chairs the House Business Committee, which on the surface seems to be compatible with advocates, such as the Idaho Chamber Alliance. But Barbieri sees a disconnect between what chambers want and what’s politically possible.
“They are not my friends,” he says.
Other legislators have more of an open ear to the chambers. Rep. Caroline Troy of Genesee, who also is a member of the House Business Committee, has a weekly telephone conference with the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, where she gives reports on legislative business.
“Most chambers have government relations committees, and I make it a point to reach out to them,” she says.
One of the big social functions during the first week of a legislative session is a luncheon sponsored by the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce. That’s where the chamber passes around its legislative agenda, which is largely consistent with other chambers throughout the state. The agenda includes continued support for improving education, support for transportation funding and finding an Idaho health-insurance solution. One local issue is support for $10 million from the Permanent Building fund for the Center for Materials Science Building at Boise State University.
The chamber also asks for lowering Idaho’s 7.4 percent corporate tax rate and easing the burden of the personal property tax on business equipment. There’s movement on those issues in the House Revenue and Taxation Committee. House Majority Leader Mike Moyle of Star has introduced legislation to lower the corporate tax rate to 7.2 percent and Rep. Janet Trujillo is calling for raising the exemption on the personal property tax.
Bill Connors, the president and CEO of the Boise Metro Chamber, says the agenda fits well with the business community. Idaho’s projected revenue surplus lends an opportunity for the Legislature to reduce the corporate tax rate, which is among the highest in the nation and puts the Gem state at a competitive disadvantage with other states in attracting new businesses.
Lowering taxes, while calling for spending increases in other areas, might seem contradictory. But as Connors sees it, “There’s room in the budget for both.” The chamber has favored tax increases for roads and local-option taxing authority, which legislators have opposed.
Troy and Barbieri have sharply different reactions to the chamber’s agenda.
“These are the kinds of issues that chambers should be talking about,” Troy said. “I’m especially happy that support for transportation is on the list. In District 5, just about everything we do is exported or imported. We import our students and export our timber and agriculture products. We can’t do it without good roads, and there are a lot of crappy roads in the state.”
Barbieri rolls his eyes when looking at the chamber’s agenda. “Where are we going to get the money for the materials science building? Where are we going to get more money for transportation?”
As with other legislators, he’s adamantly opposed to local-option taxation because of the lack of voter participation and the creation of an uneven tax structure. Local options have been nonstarters in the Legislature.
As for the overall agenda, he says, “I go through this list and I don’t see anything that is probusiness. I don’t see anything that helps the bait shop, the car-repair shop or the pawn shop. All I see is big-government stuff.”
In Troy’s view, “I appreciate the perspectives the chambers bring to the business community. The chambers are not comprised of big corporations. They are the mom-and-pop stores on main streets, and I pay attention to them.”
But with Barbieri in charge of the business panel, chamber-friendly legislation will have to be taken up elsewhere.
The following editorial appears on Bloomberg View:
On his first official foreign trip, Secretary of Defense James Mattis is going to the continent that presents the White House with one of its most immediate and one of its most long-term challenges. North Korea is racing to develop a working nuclear-tipped ICBM, while China is growing as a regional hegemon and global rival.
Both issues will require close cooperation with the U.S.’s longstanding allies in Japan and South Korea, where Mattis will be visiting. President Donald Trump’s main response, however, has been to vaguely threaten China and promise to invest additional billions to expand the U.S. military. Neither is an adequate response.
No matter how much Trump tweets, China isn’t going to press sanctions that might fatally undermine the regime in Pyongyang and result in a unified, U.S.-allied Korea on its doorstep. Nor are Chinese leaders going to cave in to trade threats or negotiate over Taiwan. Meanwhile, it’ll take years to build all the new submarines and battleships Trump is promising. And in any case, while U.S. allies favor a stout American presence in the region, they have no appetite for military action.
The most effective way to strengthen the U.S. position in Asia is by doing exactly what Mattis is doing: cultivating and reassuring allies. It’s encouraging that he reportedly doesn’t plan to question the contributions that South Korea and Japan make to support U.S. troops in their countries, as Trump has done repeatedly. Collaboration among all three allies is key: Any effort to contain North Korea will be much more effective if they can coordinate their missile-defense networks and present a unified front to Pyongyang.
Mattis’s trip should be only the first of many. It will be critical for diplomats, Cabinet members and Trump himself to reassure Asian allies and rally them to a coherent policy. The U.S. will need to work harder to encourage greater military cooperation in the region. And Trump can (somewhat) mitigate his ill-considered decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership by pressing bilateral trade deals, in particular with Japan.
Trump claims to have the same priorities abroad as he does at home: to make the U.S. stronger and safer. But he won’t succeed — especially not in Asia — if “America First” means, as it once did, America alone.
Listen to Twin Falls City Manager Travis Rothweiler talk about police wages, and he’ll speak in almost philosophical terms. A good police force is fundamental to reducing crime, and low crime is a key to economic development.
Same with city amenities like a canyon rim trail system. Our regional economy is creating jobs faster than companies can fill them. To keep the economy booming, we need more workers. That means luring people from outside the area to the Magic Valley. And that requires creating a city where people want to live. A trail system is an accoutrement that fosters economic growth.
The list goes on: the multi-million-dollar investment in remaking downtown, a new state-of-the-art police headquarters, infrastructure to accommodate a growing city, a downtown City Hall that will help the bureaucracy be more responsive and efficient (and with the added bonus of an outdoor space for public events). These projects are more than the sum of their parts — they’re all part of a larger vision to enhance the city and improve residents’ quality of life.
These are smart investments, and they’re happening despite the Legislature’s insistence in limiting local control over taxes.
So kudos to the city for its bold moves to remake Twin Falls into a thriving city where folks want to work and play, raise families or retire. On Monday, the City Council approved a plan to boost wages for street cops. As we’ve reported, too many officers are being poached by Treasure Valley agencies after Twin Falls taxpayers have footed the bill for their training. A wage boost will help keep the best officers here in Twin Falls, and, as Rothweiler argues, lead to lower crime rates and more economic development.
The city is also set to spend $800,000 to connect another segment of the canyon rim trail, looping the trail from Eastland Drive to the Evel Knievel jump site. The Magic Valley Trail Enhancement Committee has raised nearly $600,000 to help with the project.
Make no mistake: These aren’t frivolous spending sprees. Remarkably, the city has been able to fund these projects without significant increases in taxes or cuts to city services.
Still, we can’t help but wonder what else could be if the city had more control over raising revenues. We’re talking about local-option sales taxes — where cities would be allowed to ask voters for slight and temporary increases to sales taxes to raise money for earmarked projects. Under current law, the Legislature gives this privilege only to a handful of resort communities. Twin Falls isn’t one of them.
City improvements would happen a heck of a lot faster if local voters had more local control when it comes to taxing. Chances are, that trail expansion would have been completed years ago. And the city might not be struggling to pay its cops and firefighters a competitive wage. Perhaps we’d have an event center featuring world-class entertainment and recreation opportunities. The improvements to Canyon Springs Road would have come years ago.
Instead, the city is scraping together money a nickel at a time, and improvements take a generation to complete. It’s a miracle Twin Falls is doing so well considering the constraints the Legislature have bound so tightly on Idaho cities.
Dear Sen. Crapo, Sen. Risch, Congressman Simpson and Gov. Otter:
These times, and specifically President Trump’s executive order entitled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,” are a test of character. This order is based purely on fear and paranoia, rather than logic and sound facts. It will eventually be proven illegal and unconstitutional. That is only a matter of time. History will judge those who supported this measure and those who were ambivalent or silently stood by while it unfolded.
Permanent legal residents initially denied entry into the United States? Individuals with dual citizenship denied entry into the country? Blanket restrictions based on a person’s nationality? Is this really what you want to stand for? You may be worried about losing your seat in office, but you should be worried about losing your moral compass. Do not facilitate the spread of fear and paranoia and measures that stem from them. Base your decision on facts and what those with the wisdom and expertise from years of experience in the trenches fighting terrorism will tell you is effective.
My intention with this letter is not to compel feelings of shame or guilt. Rather, my hope is that this message inspires you to look at your own heart and conscience, at what you believe in and want to stand for, rather than what panders to some political agenda.
Currently, I’m asked every day to recite and stand for the pledge. I find that very difficult to do, because at this time the words “liberty and justice for all” ring hollow.
Again, President Trump’s executive order named above is a test of character. If you remain silent or agree with the order, you will have failed. Choose wisely.

Newport, Wakulla County, Florida facts for kids
Quick facts for kids
|Time zone||UTC-5 (EST)|
|• Summer (DST)||UTC-4 (EDT)|
In 1841, the current Newport area and the community of Port Leon, just south, endured a severe yellow fever epidemic. In 1843 Port Leon, located on the St. Marks River, was devastated by a hurricane that produced a 10 foot storm surge. The area still struggles against the same recurring hurricane surges that move up the St. Marks River entrance.
After the hurricane of September 13, 1843, washed away all of the homes, buildings and railroad tracks in Port Leon promoters Nathaniel Hamlin, James Ormond, Peter H. Swain and several others met a week later and made plans to establish another town.
They spent several days searching for a site safe from the sea, then selected a piece of land on the west side of the St. Marks River, about two miles below the old town of Magnolia, Florida. This location offered high ground, fewer swamps, and beautiful bubbling springs. It was owned by the Apalachicola Land Co. The organization permitted citizens who had suffered from the storm to draw lots at a cost of $25 and up.
The promoters named this new town Newport and platted it with four streets running east and west. The streets were New, Washington, Market and Adams. Those that extended north and south bore the names Bay, Pine, Elm and West. These street names were remarkably similar to those in St. Joseph, Florida territorial Florida's largest town, about 80 miles to the west down the coast.
A seat of government
Since most of Port Leon was destroyed by the storm, Newport became the seat of government in Wakulla County on Feb. 1, 1844. One of the priorities became removing the debris from the St. Marks River, a project discussed and attempted almost 20 years earlier. Dredging was undertaken, but it failed to really deepen or remove many of the rocks from the river. Daniel Ladd, Newport's leading cotton merchant, solved the situation by ordering a 100-foot steam tugboat named Spray, later the CSS Spray. Ladd used this craft to tow vessels into and out of Newport.
Although those involved in the cotton brokerage businesses built several warehouses at Newport, the town shared its shipping with St. Marks further down the river. By that time, the Tallahassee Railroad had rebuilt its tracks that had been destroyed in the storm of 1843, and 40 hard-working mules were back pulling cars. A stage coach transported passengers from the terminal near St. Marks to Newport. Exporting cotton, tobacco and animal hides and importing items such as flour, coffee, whiskey, gunpowder, quinine and other medicines by rail proved expensive, however.
A plank road
Newport competed as a port with nearby St. Marks that offered a rail connection to Tallahassee that, in the beginning, featured mule-pulled train cars. Inland cotton growers and shippers through the rail terminus at Tallahassee would carry their cargo to these river ports on the St. Marks River from which they would be carried to other ports and processing points along the gulf coast and eastern seaboard.
Although several roads led to Newport, the idea of a "plank road" became popular in the mid-19th century as an alternative to high railway charges and road-building problems. This type of road was introduced by the Spanish centuries earlier when they created routes of travel by laying logs across low places. Ladd, Ormond, John Denham, William McNaught and several others in Newport backed a plan to build a plank road proposed by Green and Joseph Chaires, wealthy Leon County planters.
The Florida Legislature incorporated the Georgia and Georgia-Florida Plank Road Company in 1851. The road was to run from Newport to Thomasville, Georgia, but it was completed to only the Tallahassee vicinity. Wagons used this road at a cost of about $1, and it brought competition to the Tallahassee Railroad.
Eventually, the rail connection from St. Marks was upgraded to accommodate locomotive-pulled trains and the St. Marks port became dominant over Newport with their wood plank road to Tallahassee. Newport dwindled but remains intact with a handful of residents.
In 1856, the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad obtained controlling interest in the Tallahassee-St. Marks Railroad. The new company improved the tracks and replaced the mules with a steam locomotive that cut travel time from nearly five hours to two hours.
Newport has Newport Springs, a sulfur spring said to have healing properties. The spring empties into the St. Marks River. Below the springs there are a series of caves. Wakulla County has taken over maintenance of Newport Springs.

Definition of Tangible asset:
Cash, equipment, machinery, plant, property anything that has long-term physical existence or is acquired for use in the operations of the business and not for sale to customers. In the balance sheet of the business, such assets are listed under the heading Plant and equipment or Plant, property, and equipment. Tangible assets, unlike intangible assets, can be destroyed by fire, hurricane, or other disasters or accidents. However, they can be used as collateral to raise loans, and can be more readily sold to raise cash in emergencies.
How to use Tangible asset in a sentence?
- You can claim depreciation for a rental property because it is a tangible asset , but if you buy a patent to generate royalties then it would be subject to amortization rather than depreciation.
- Investors of WorldCom Inc were furious and outraged after learning that the companys CEO has mislead them on the actual value of the companys main tangible asset .
- Our company purchased a building in order to show the investors that their money was going towards a tangible asset .

Cryptocurrency hacks remain one of the most significant issues of the crypto world and have dominated the headlines in 2021. Malicious actors have catered away hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crypto from across the globe. There’s no guarantee that this won’t continue to play out in 2022.
Last week, Bitmart was on the wrong side of the news, as a $150M occurred on the Chinese exchange. This week, another exchange, AscendEX lost $80M in a similar fashion. The security breach affected the platform’s Ethereum and Polygon hot wallets and raised speculations that the users on the exchange would lose their assets.
AscendEX Reassures Users of Safety of Their Assets
AscendEX saw the panic the hack caused to users and quickly responded by reassuring everyone that their funds were safe. For now, the statement will mitigate the damage the hack would cause to the platform’s reputation.
On Thursday this week, AscendEX released a statement explaining the cause of the attack. According to the security audit report, the breach happened due to a hardware exploit from third-party structures used by the protocol. Experienced perpetrators carried out the act. The exchange said it would disclose further information about the incident if available.
AscendEX has been doing a pretty good job of getting users from across the globe. In November, AscendEX closed a $50M Series B funding. The funding included Polychain Capital and Jump Capital, giving the exchange a global presence despite strict Chinese regulations. However, the recent exploitation of the exchange might do more harm to their image.
Huobi Restricts Account Holders
One of the prominent exchanges in Asia, Huobi, announced the restriction of millions of Chinese users. This came after the exchange revealed its decision to leave China due to its crypto regulatory policies. According to Huobi, Chinese users have until the end of the year to cash out their assets and the over-the-counter services are stopped.
Huobi’s leaving is a sad one to many Chinese. Before Binance’s boom in 2017, Huobi was the favorite spot trading platform for Chinese crypto traders. The platform was once the largest by volume.
Huobi’s decision to leave wasn’t abrupt. The platform tried reasoning with local regulators in Beijing and other parts of China, such as Hainan. However, they gave no listening ear to Huobi as they maintained their no-nonsense approach to forcing crypto exchanges out of the country.
China’s crypto regulations hit Huobi the hardest, and the effect is still apparent today. Currently, the company’s management is in crisis as top executives leave. The latest individual to go is Ciara Sun, who headed global assets.
Sun had worked on several businesses focused on development before her appointment on Huobi’s board. After working for over two years, she has decided to move into Web3 development and the metaverse. Chief Operating Officer at Huobi Global Robin Zhu also retired, compounding their woes.
All hope isn’t lost for Huobi. The exchange has indicated that its new regional H.Q. will be in Singapore. Coincidentally, this was the same country that Binance had abandoned due to regulatory indifferences.

WASHINGTON: Northrop Grumman is nearing the next ground test of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s far-out space-based solar power project, including wireless transfer of energy harvested from the suns rays — energy that could be gathered as electricity on the ground, a key company official said.
If successful, the test in coming weeks will represent another baby step in AFRL’s ambitious Space Solar Power Incremental Demonstrations and Research (SSPIDR) initiative, a portfolio of interrelated sub-projects to demonstrate foundational technology for solar power satellites.
Northrop Grumman is partnering with AFRL on SSPIDR, having put some $15 million of its own research funds into the project. The company also received slightly more than $100 million from AFLR in 2018 for the initiative’s flagship mission, an experimental satellite called Arachne.
The Arachne sat will carry the Space Solar Power Radio Frequency Integrated Transmission Experiment (SSPRITE) payload, also being developed by Northrop Grumman, to collect and convert solar energy. Arachne will be based on the Helios bus, unsurprisingly provided by Northrop Grumman Space Systems. AFRL currently plans launch in early 2025, followed by months of on-orbit demonstrations.
Arachne successfully completed it first critical milestone in December, successfully ground testing a lightweight tile for collecting solar radiation and converting it to radio frequency (RF) energy. The next step in building a solar power-beaming satellite is to beam that RF energy to ground using a microwave transmitter or a laser. And that is the goal of the next ground-based test, expected sometime within the next couple of months.
Paul Matthews, a Northrop Grumman fellow on the project, told Breaking Defense that the second demonstration will involve a so-called rectenna (for rectifying antenna) “to demonstrate not only solar-to-RF conversion but also wireless energy transfer.”
Rectennas, which convert electromagnetic energy to usable electricity currently are used to power small microelectronic devices such as contactless credit cards and radio frequency identity (RFID) tags.
Of course, using rectennas to create electricity to wirelessly power far-flung air bases or drone swarms is a problem on a much bigger scale, requiring football fields of full of rectennas using today’s technology. But that is a future problem and not currently part of the SSPIDR effort.
And that is only one of the enabling technologies for space-based solar power that have yet to prove viable, facing both engineering challenges and scaling obstacles.
For example, the ongoing experiments under the SSPRITE sub-project involve only one of many lightweight power conversion tiles that would be required. For the Arachne sat, AFRL intends to build and integrate nine such tiles.
Solar radiation also is a problem for the sensitive electronics aboard satellites. And given that solar-power collection components would need to be directly exposed, another part of AFRL’s overarching SSPIDR initiative is aimed at developing ways to safely handle the heat. That experiment, called SPIRRAL, for the Space Power Infrared Regulation and Analysis of Lifetime, will demonstrate “thermal management” technology and is set to fly on the International Space Station in 2023.
Another key challenge is that solar power satellites will require very large phased-array antennas for beaming, Matthews said. This means that not only do they have to be able to fold up like origami for storing during launch and then unfold without tangling once the satellite is on orbit, they also will require constant monitoring and adjusting for deformations that would interrupt transmission.
“The physics have been solved, so the technology is there. It’s an engineering problem,” he said. “It’s a very hard engineering problem. So I don’t want to minimize that.”

Barcelona (AFP) – Whether they have come out as supporters or opponents of an independence referendum banned by Madrid, Catalan mayors are all under pressure and some even say they have received death threats.
The tense situation is but one illustration of the passions raised by the drive for independence in a region that remains sharply divided over whether it wants to separate from Spain.
On Saturday, more than 700 pro-referendum mayors protested in Barcelona, brandishing their maces and singing the official hymn of the northeastern region, whose separatist executive is preparing to hold a referendum on October 1.
Resolute and calm, they made light of the risks they are taking after Spain’s public prosecutor ordered a criminal probe and threatened to arrest them if they refuse to comply with Madrid’s order not to hold a vote deemed unconstitutional.
Supporters also took part, shouting “we are with you,” and Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau and Catalan President Carles Puigdemont met them.
“I’m not protesting in support of independence but in support of voting,” said Josep Sole, the 74-year-old mayor of La Maso, a small 300-strong village in southern Catalonia.
– ‘Want to express themselves’ –
Sara Janer, the 26-year-old mayor of the small village of Pontils, said she had been elected to “listen” to her residents.
“If the Catalan government gives us the opportunity to express ourselves, we should get the ballot boxes out,” she said.
“Catalans really want to express themselves, that’s for sure.”
With a majority in the Catalan parliament since 2015, the separatists are bent on holding the referendum. But Madrid is pulling out the stops to stop it going ahead.
On top of legal threats to mayors, police have also been ordered to seize any items that could be used for the vote.
Puigdemont has said he will start taking steps towards separating from Spain if “yes” wins the day on October 1, regardless of the turnout.
How that will work remains unclear given Madrid’s determination to stop the separatists.
Catalonia, however, remains sharply divided.
The most recent poll commissioned by the regional government in July showed 49.4 percent of Catalans were against independence while 41.1 percent supported it.
At the protest, Colau clearly expressed her “solidarity” with the pro-referendum mayors.
But in her 1.6 million-strong city where separatists are in the minority, she did not join them in shouting “Long live a free Catalonia”, “We will vote” and “Independence.”
“We will build the…


Cooper could wind up as the Marlins' primary designated hitter this season, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
With Jesus Aguilar getting first crack at the starting first base job and Miami carrying a lot of outfield depth, Cooper's path to playing time this season originally appeared somewhat precarious, but he might be the most comfortable fit at DH while players with better gloves, such as Lewis Brinson, patrol right field. Cooper slashed a solid .281/.344/.446 in 421 plate appearances last year, but he'll need to avoid the injuries that sidelined him at times in 2019 to take full advantage of his opportunities.
Cooper is a candidate to platoon with Matt Joyce in right field once the regular season begins, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
The 29-year-old is facing competition from Lewis Brinson, Monte Harrison and Harold Ramirez for the role. Cooper put up solid offensive numbers in 2019 when he was healthy, but the rebuilding Marlins may prefer to give a younger player like Brinson another chance to establish themselves.
Cooper (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Nationals.
A jammed knee forced Cooper from the Marlins' Sept. 13 game and he has not made an appearance since. Earlier this week, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio indicated that while Cooper's injury isn't thought to be serious, he may not be able to return this season. Cooper is looking like one of the few locks for the Marlins' 2020 lineup.
Cooper (knee) remains on the bench Friday against Washington.
A knee issue has now kept Cooper out of action for a week. It's not yet clear when he's expected to return. Lewis Brinson starts in right field in his absence.
Cooper (knee) was sent back to Miami on Monday for further evaluation, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Cooper has been battling a knee injury since Friday, and the Marlins have elected to send him for further testing. He seems unlikely to play in Miami's series against Arizona.
Cooper (knee) remains out Monday against Arizona, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Cooper hasn't played since leaving Friday's game against the Giants with a knee injury. Tests revealed no serious injury, but he'll sit for the third game in a row nonetheless. Harold Ramirez gets the start in right field.
Cooper (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
Cooper jammed his knee on a diving catch Friday and will be out of the starting nine for the second consecutive game. Jon Berti, Magneuris Sierra and Lewis Brinson will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday.
Cooper (knee) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Cooper jammed his knee on a diving catch during the first inning of Friday's game, but tests showed no structural damage, so he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's series finale. Harold Ramirez will take over in right field as Starlin Castro bats third against Saturday's starter, Madison Bumgarner.
Cooper's left Friday's contest versus the Giants with a knee injury, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
Cooper said after the game that he jammed his knee on a diving catch in the first inning. Tests showed no structural damage, which indicates Cooper dodged a more serious injury. He is day-to-day.
Cooper left Friday's game against the Giants due to an undisclosed injury, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
Cooper suffered the injury on a diving catch in the outfield, and he was spotted limping off the field shortly after. Harold Ramirez took over in right field.
Cooper is not in Friday's lineup against the Royals.
He is hitting .243 with two home runs over his last 10 games. Neil Walker is starting at first base and hitting cleanup.
Cooper went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and solo homer in a 5-4 victory against the Pirates on Tuesday.
The first baseman smashed his homer to break a tied game in the 10th. This was his first contest with either two hits or two RBI since Aug. 18; he had only one such performance in August. Cooper is batting .272 with 13 home runs, 45 RBI and 49 runs in 346 at-bats this season.
Cooper is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.
Cooper is 4-for-29 over his last nine games and will head to the bench in the series opener. Neil Walker will start at first base and bat cleanup in his absence.
Cooper is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.
Cooper has now been absent from the starting lineup in three of the team's past four games. He got off to a slow start in August, going hitless in his first five games. However, he then reached base in 10 of his next 12 starts, making the timing of his removal from the lineup a bit curious. Regardless, Neil Walker will bat second and man first base in his place.
Cooper is not in Thursday's lineup against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
He will sit for a second game in a row, with Neil Walker getting another start at first base while hitting cleanup. Prior to these two days off, Cooper had started 12 of 13 games. He is hitting .246 with one home run in 61 at-bats this month.
Cooper is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Braves, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
He is hitting .250 with one home run and 20 strikeouts in 60 at-bats this month. Neil Walker will start at first base and bat cleanup.
Cooper went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and two RBI in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Rockies.
The two extra-base hits were a welcome sight for Cooper's fantasy managers, who had watched the 28-year-old deliver only one double and no home runs over the previous 19 contests. The lack of recent power production dropped Cooper's OPS down to .807 for the season, but that figure still is good for first place among Marlins regulars, narrowly beating out Brian Anderson (.805). Cooper will start at first base and bat cleanup in Sunday's series finale at Coors Field, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com.
Cooper isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Cooper took the collar in Game 1 (0-for-4), so he'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap. Martin Prado draws the start at first base and is set to bat seventh in Cooper's stead.
Cooper (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter Saturday in Tampa Bay.
Cooper sat for the last two games with a hamstring issue, though he appeared off the bench in both contests. He's apparently not yet ready to take the field but will bat fifth as the DH on Saturday.
Cooper (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Cooper is still tending to a tight left hamstring, which he suffered while running to first base during an at-bat in Tuesday's 2-1 loss. The Marlins are hopeful that two days out of the lineup plus a team off day Friday will be enough for Cooper to return to action during the two-game set in Tampa Bay over the weekend. Neil Walker will man first base and bat cleanup in the series finale with the Twins.

Houses and apartments provided to IDPs by the state are not to be sold or exchanged, Ali Hasanov, deputy prime minister and chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs, said.
«These houses and apartments are for temporary housing and they belong to the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs in Azerbaijan,» Hasanov told journalists.
The government is working hard to improve housing conditions for IDPs from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan by Armenia. In the near future a new building with 70 apartments in the Ramana settlement will be commissioned for IDPs. Also, the construction of a five-story building in Yevlakh will begin, a three-and five-storey buildings will be completed in Goranboy and Olympic complexes will be commissioned in Agdam and the Horadiz settlement of the Fizuli region.
«We have a lot of finished projects to improve the living conditions of IDPs and if the government allocates new funds, we are ready to implement them,» the deputy prime minister said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a cease-fire in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group — Russia, France and the United States- are currently holding peace negotiations.

Most Viewed Players
J.J Dielman DEN G
Broncos' J.J. Dielman: Out with knee sprain14m ago
Dielman did not practice Tuesday due to a knee sprain, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
It's unclear how severe the sprain is for Dielman, but an injury like this can take multiple weeks to heal. Dielman is expected to play a depth role on the Broncos' offensive line this season.
Phillip Dorsett NE WR
Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Gets banged up24m ago
Dorsett appeared to suffer an injury toward the end of Tuesday's practice, Kevin Duffy of MassLive.com reports.
After leaving the field to be evaluated in the medical tent, Dorsett hung around on the sideline catching passes from a team staff member while waiting for the other players to finish practice. He didn't appear to be limping when he walked off the field with his teammates, but the timing of the injury -- however minor it might be -- puts Dorsett in some danger of missing Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles. He was a regular part of the first-team offense in last week's preseason opener, surprisingly getting the start over Chris Hogan.
Sam Jones DEN G
Broncos' Sam Jones: Battling back spasms28m ago
Jones did not practice Tuesday due to back spasms, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Jones was selected by the Broncos in the sixth round of this year's draft and should be considered day-to-day while he nurses these back spasms.
Vontaze Burfict CIN OLB
Bengals' Vontaze Burfict: Missing practice32m ago
Burfict (ankle, suspension) isn't practicing Tuesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Burfict limped off the field at the end of Monday's practice and was taken back to the locker room on a cart. He's already suspended for the first four weeks of the regular season, so only a severe injury would impact his prospects for the upcoming campaign. Jordan Evans is the favorite to fill in at weakside linebacker, offering ample IDP potential if he also locks down a role in the nickel defense.
Dwayne Allen NE TE
Patriots' Dwayne Allen: Exits with injury43m ago
Allen left Tuesday's practice with an unspecified injury, Jeff Howe of The Athletic Boston reports.
Given the timing of Allen's injury along with the fact Rob Gronkowski hasn't played in the preseason for years, Jacob Hollister seems to be in line for regular work with the first-team offense during Thursday's exhibition against the Eagles. Allen only caught 10 passes last season, but he was useful to the Patriots as a blocker while logging 42 percent of offensive snaps. The Patriots probably would've brought in more competition during the offseason if they were ready to move on from Allen and his scheduled $5 million cap hit.
Duke Dawson NE CB
Patriots' Duke Dawson: Limited at practice1h ago
Dawson has been a limited participant in the last two practices due to an undisclosed injury, Andrew Callahan of MassLive.com reports.
It's unclear exactly what Dawson is dealing with, but it's likely not too serious of an injury given that he has at least been on the practice field. Dawson was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2018 draft and is expected to play a limited role in New England's secondary this season.
Garrett Hampson COL 2B
Rockies' Garrett Hampson: Summoned from minors2m ago
Hampson was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Hampson will take the roster spot of Scott Oberg, who was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding roster move. Seeing as players typically spend between one and three days on the paternity list, Hampson's stay with the big club could be brief. The 23-year-old, who hit .300/.417/.450 during a seven-game stint with the Rockies earlier in the season, will serve as additional infield depth with Nolan Arenado nursing a shoulder injury.
Nicky Delmonico CHW LF
White Sox's Nicky Delmonico: Sits against southpaw2m ago
Delmonico is on the bench Tuesday against the southpaw Blaine Hardy and the Tigers.
Delmonico has sat against the last seven lefties the White Sox have faced. He's not an obvious platoon candidate, having posting a .789 OPS against lefties and a .745 OPS against righties over the course of his career, though the sample size is quite small (just 72 plate appearances against lefties). Ryan LaMarre will start in his place in left field.
Scott Oberg COL RP
Rockies' Scott Oberg: Placed on paternity leave7m ago
Oberg was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Oberg will miss between one and three games while on the paternity list, so he'll be back with the Rockies for Friday's game against the Braves at the latest. Garrett Hampson was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place on the roster.
Miguel Rojas MIA SS
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Not in lineup Tuesday11m ago
Rojas (ankle) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
Rojas will retreat to the bench after exiting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with a bruised left ankle. JT Riddle will start at shortstop and hit sixth in his stead. Consider the shortstop day-to-day.
Yoan Moncada CHW 2B
White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Gets rare rest14m ago
Moncada is on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
The last time Moncada was out of the lineup was exactly two months prior on June 14. Yolmer Sanchez will slide over to second base, with Matt Davidson starting at third.
Devin Mesoraco NYM C
Mets' Devin Mesoraco: Takes seat15m ago
Mesoraco is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.
Mesoraco will give way to Kevin Plawecki behind the dish after going 1-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Yankees. The backstop is hitting .220/.302/.381 across 74 games with the Reds and Mets this season.
Jevon Carter MEM PG
Grizzlies' Jevon Carter: Undergoes surgery Tuesday31m ago
Carter underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
News broke last week that Carter suffered the "freak" injury when his thumb got caught in an opposing player's jersey. Following surgery, the medical staff re-iterated that a full recovery is expected. A timetable for his return has not been announced, but updates will be provided as he continues to reach milestones in his recovery.
Shabazz Muhammad MIL SG
Bucks' Shabazz Muhammad: Agrees to deal with Milwaukee17h ago
Muhammed agreed to a training-camp deal with the Bucks on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.
Muhammad ended last season with Milwaukee after beginning it with Minnesota, averaging 5.0 points in 9.7 minutes over 43 games. He will add some more wing depth for Milwaukee, but will likely continue to play a small role with the team if he's able to break camp with a roster spot in hand.
Briante Weber MEM PG
Heat's Briante Weber: Inks contract with Heat21h ago
Weber signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Heat on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Weber has bounced around the league over the last three years, spending time on five different rosters. In his most recent 2017-18 campaign, Weber played in a combined 18 games between the Grizzlies and Rockets and averaged 2.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steal across 13.2 minutes. The fact that his new contract is only partially guaranteed means it's essentially a training camp deal, so Weber will have to have a strong showing during camp and the preseason to have a shot at a final roster spot with the Heat. As of now, the guard is likely on the outside looking in.
Dwyane Wade MIA SG
Dwyane Wade: Won't play in China1d ago
Wade has ruled out playing in China this season, Real GM reports. "If I play the game of basketball this year it will be in a Miami uniform," Wade said. "If I don't, I'll be living in Miami or somewhere else probably."
Wade is apparently content to take his time in figuring out his next step, but he indicated that his agent is in talks with the Heat regarding a potential return next season. If that were to happen, the veteran would likely sign a one-year contract at a discounted rate. Wade, who turns 37 in January, is just two years removed from averaging 18.3 points per game for the Bulls, but his production tailed off considerably last season, which he split between Cleveland and Miami. Wade still managed 12.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 21 games for Miami, though he shot just 40.9 percent from the field and a ghastly 22.0 percent from three on 2.0 attempts per game.
Derrick Walton MIA PG
Bulls' Derrick Walton: Joining Chicago on camp deal1d ago
Walton is expected to join the Bulls on a training camp deal, Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald reports.
Walton was on a two-way contract with the Heat last season, but was ultimately let go this summer after having his qualifying offer pulled. He'll now join the Bulls for training camp, though Walton will still likely be a long shot to make the final roster barring any surprises. In 27 G-League games with Miami's affiliate, the 23-year-old averaged 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.5 steals across 32.4 minutes.
Landry Shamet PHI PG
76ers' Landry Shamet: Resumes light basketball activities1d ago
Shamet (ankle) has resumed light basketball activities and another update on his status will be provided when appropriate.
Shamet sprained his ankle during summer league play and has since been going through a heavy dose of rest and recovery. The fact that he's already back on the court, even in just a light capacity, indicates he should be able to return to full strength ahead of training camp. That said, the Sixers could bring him along slowly in order to avoid any unnecessary setbacks. Once cleared, Shamet is likely set for deep reserve duties in the backcourt and could struggle to find significant minutes as a rookie.
Ryan Ellis NSH D
Predators' Ryan Ellis: Garners massive eight-year deal4h ago
Ellis signed an eight-year, $50 million contract extension with the Predators on Tuesday, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.
Ellis has been a consistent two-way presence for the Preds ever since he emerged as a full-timer in the 2013-14 campaign. The team's 11th overall selection from the 2009 draft accumulated 32 points (nine goals, 23 assists) over 44 regular-season games to complement an immaculate plus-26 rating last year. As the type of player who will do anything for his team, Ellis has also accrued 302 hits and 558 blocked shots over 396 career contests. Factor in how the Predators have been a playoff team in four straight years and you're looking at a legit No. 1 fantasy option from the blue line.
Steven Santini NJ D
Devils' Steve Santini: Secures new deal6h ago
Santini agreed to terms on a three-year, $4.25 million contract with New Jersey on Tuesday.
The most significant aspect of Santini's deal is that it is one-way in nature, which means he can't be easily sent down to the minors. Having played less than 40 games in each of the previous two seasons, the blueliner is poised to set a career high for games played, which could propel him to new bests in goals or assists.
Kevin Rooney NJ C
Devils' Kevin Rooney: Lands two-year deal1d ago
Rooney inked a two-year contract with New Jersey on Monday.
While Rooney's deal starts as a two-way this season, it transitions to a one-way for the 2019-20 campaign. If he were spend the entire length of the pact in the NHL, it would pay the center $1.4 million, although fantasy owners should probably expect him to spend some time in the minors this year.
Zach Aston-Reese PIT RW
Penguins' Zach Aston-Reese: Fully healthy and ready for camp2d ago
Aston-Reese (jaw) has made a full recovery and is good to go for training camp, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Aston-Reese suffered both a concussion and a broken jaw during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference second-round series against the Capitals. He's since had multiple months off to rest and make a full recovery, and is now back on the ice participating in full drills. The 24-year-old participated in just 16 games during the 2017-18 campaign, but is hoping to have a strong training camp in order to earn a full-time role with the Penguins for the upcoming season.
Phillip Danault MON C
Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Adds Pilates to offseason training plan3d ago
Danault has introduced a Pilates training regimen in an ongoing effort to strengthen his core and preserve a healthy mind.
It appears that the Quebec native is doing what he can to be the best version of himself in 2018-19. Danault broke out offensively in 2016-17 when he uncorked 13 goals, 27 assists and a plus-5 rating over a full season, but he dealt with a nasty concussion and related neck trouble in the most recent campaign, finishing with 15 fewer points over 52 contests. The Habs believe in him based on his three-year, $9.25 million contract renewal; he should glean plenty of confidence from that deal and all of the positives that come from taking better care of his body. A huge season could be on the horizon for Danault.
Henrik Zetterberg DET C
Red Wings' Henrik Zetterberg: Status quo regarding back issue3d ago
Red Wings GM Ken Holland is unsure of Zetterberg's (back) health status, adding that more will be known in September, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
The Original Six club is reportedly $1 million over the salary cap with Dylan Larkin re-signed for five years at $6.1 million annually. Placing Zetterberg on long-term injured reserve to start the season would be an obvious way to save cap space against the upper limit, but training camp won't start for another month and everyone vested in Detroit's plans for the upcoming season will want to hear more from Big Z himself before hitting the panic button. There very well could be validity in these rumors or it could end up being an overblown concern; time will tell.

Retail Theft (and Other Theft Offenses) in Montgomery County, PA
Theft in PA is basically defined as the taking of the property of another without permission and with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of that property. When the owner of the property is a retail establishment (a store), the crime is called Retail Theft (also known as shoplifting).
Retail Thefts — and all theft offenses — are taken seriously in Montgomery County, PA and are usually prosecuted aggressively. Obviously, any theft conviction looks terrible on a person’s criminal history (RAP Sheet), so it is important to make sure you get the best possible result if you are charged with Retail Theft.
Former Prosecutor (Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney) can help you
As a prosecutor in the Major Crimes Unit of the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, I prosecuted countless Retail Theft crimes and other theft offenses. As a criminal defense attorney since 1999, I have represented many people charged with Retail Theft and related theft offenses.
At the Montgomery County, PA Law Office of Erik Petersen, I certainly have a great deal of experience involving Retail Theft cases and am qualified to represent anyone charged with a theft-related offense.
Retail Theft Laws — The ARD Program
The Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition Program (ARD Program), is a viable option for people who are charged with a first-offense retail theft or shoplifting. The ARD Program is a diversionary program, created by the PA state legislature, which allows people to complete a “program” as opposed to going to trial and risking a criminal conviction and prison.
The ARD Program emphasizes counseling, treatment and community service as opposed to punitive measures such as jail time and a criminal conviction. When a person completes the ARD Program, the charges are dismissed and can then be expunged from your criminal record. Basically, the ARD Program gives people a second chance at a clean criminal record.
ARD is available for people who are charged with committing a non-violent offense. Most (but not all) ARD cases involve Retail Theft and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges. It is important to talk to a Montgomery County Retail Theft ARD attorney to discuss whether you may be eligible for admission into the ARD Program.
Is ARD Right for Me?
The ARD Program is a positive result for many people charged with Retail Theft or any other non-violent crime such as DUI, because it results in no jail time and no conviction. This means that after the case is over, the entire matter can be expunged from your record/
However while the ARD Program — or even a plea bargain — is sometimes the best option, it is important to choose an criminal defense attorney who is not hesitant to take a matter to trial when it is appropriate to do so. Prosecutors can sense when an attorney is afraid of trial and will be less-inclined to offer the best possible deal. As both a prosecutor and defense counsel, I have a great deal of experience in trying DUI and other criminal cases.
For anyone charged with Retail Theft or any theft offense, it is important to speak with an experienced Retail Theft defense attorney to fully understand your rights and options.
Types of Theft Offenses
Retail Theft is the most commonly charged theft offense in PA. This is particularly true in Montgomery County where there are major malls such as the King of Prussia Mall, the Montgomery Mall and the Plymouth Meeting Mall).
However there are other types of theft offenses for which people are commonly charged. These offenses include:
- Theft of Movable Property
- Theft by Deception
- Theft of Mislaid Property
- Theft by Extortion
- Theft of Services
- Theft by Failure to Make Required Disposition of Funds
If you are charged with Retail Theft or any theft offense in Montgomery County PA, you should call the Law Office of Erik Petersen here to discuss your case.
Why do People Commit Retail Theft (Shoplifting)
it is well known that many people who commit Retail Theft do not commit any other crimes and are otherwise law-abiding citizens. There have been many studies that have looked at why people commit Retail Theft. Not surpringly, there are many theories such as:
- Relief Mechanism for Depression, Anxiety or similar disorder. Some studies have found that up to one-third of the people who commit Retail Theft were suffering from a depression or anxiety-related disorder or episode.
- Response to a Loss. Experts have theorized that some Retail Theft offenders are basically “acting out” after a loss such as divorce, job loss or an unexpected large expense. Sometimes this response is a carefully calculated strategy (such as not paying for an item simply because the person does not have the money), but sometimes it is simply a sub-conscious response to being in a “low” or depressive state.
- A Psychological High. Studies have shown that for some people, the “high” associated with “beating the system” or out-thinking loss prevention is the actual psychological reward as opposed to the item itself. For some people, this “high” temporarily relieves the unhappiness, frustration or boredom they are experiencing in their life. Many such people become consumed in this “game” to the point that they truly forget that their activities are criminal and subject them to serious penalties.
- A Momentary Lapse in Judgment. For many people, a retail theft is truly a momentary lapse in judgment for which a person is immediately remorseful and even deeply ashamed.
Interestingly, one study revealed that when adults who committed Retail Theft are asked why they did it, the most common answer is “I don’t know”.
Clearly, there are some people who steal as a profession or for no reason whatsoever and lack any remorse reegarding their behavior. Most people charged with Retail Theft, however, trully regret their poor choices and want to make amends for their mistake. These are the type of people for whom an experienced criminal defense attorney can obtain a positive result. And, for first-time offenders, these are people who may be admitted into the ARD Program.
Juveniles Charged with Retail Theft
More and more, in Montgomery County, PA and surrounding counties, we are seeing juveniles charged with Retail Theft. Some of the reasons that juveniles commit Retail Theft are similar to adults, but experts do see some differences.
Juveniles are more likely to commit Retail Theft for reasons such as peer pressure, boredom and a desire to “fit in” at school. One study showed that when juvenils who committed Retail Theft are asked why they did it, the most common response is that they wanted the nice things that their friends already have.
Regardless of the reason for the behavior, juveniles charged with Retail Theft need a positive result as much as adults. A Retail Theft conviction can make it difficult to attend colleges, obtain employment or even volunteer for charities. It is important for juveniles to be well represented to ensure that any disposition of the case can one day be expunged so the juvenile can have a clean criminal record.
If you or a loved one are accused of Retail Theft / Shoplifting, Theft, or Fraud in Montgomery County, PA, the Law Office of Erik Petersemn is prepared to offer outstanding representation to ensure the best possible result.

The Tribune offers endorsements today in contested races for the Illinois House.
5th District: Republican newcomer Collin Johnson lives in the South Loop and spends most days inside Chicago public high schools overseeing a tutoring program. He is running against Rep. Ken Dunkin in a district that hugs Lake Michigan from the Gold Coast almost to 95th Street. Worried about gun violence? Not Dunkin. He derailed sensible legislation this year that would have tightened sentencing guidelines for some serious firearm offenses. He has supported raising his own pay, but he voted to weaken charter schools, which give Chicago kids more choices for education. Dunkin wanted to keep the widely abused legislative scholarship program. And he votes against most measures that would rein in state spending. Johnson would allow the income tax to roll back as promised and supports giving children and parents more options for schools. Johnson is endorsed.
10th District: Mark Calonder, a small business owner, is independent and policy-driven. He argues that a minimum wage hike would kill jobs by burdening struggling businesses. He wants the income tax to roll back from 5 percent to 3.75 percent as promised. He would vote for pension reform. He understands that Illinois cannot tax its way out of its financial mess. We endorsed Pamela Reaves-Harris in the Democratic primary, and she beat Rep. Derrick Smith, who was convicted on corruption charges in June. Reaves-Harris is a bright and thoughtful attorney. She supports a graduated income tax, an expansion of the sales tax and a hike in the minimum wage. Her views on education and taxes are as consistent with the Democratic Party as her opponent's are with the Republican Party. This race is a tough call — either candidate would be a vast improvement over Smith. Our endorsement goes to Calonder, who has the better prescription to promote employment in his district. Reaves-Harris is likely to win, and we have high hopes for her in Springfield.
14th District: Republican Denis Detzel is running against Democratic Rep. Kelly Cassidy. Detzel would push for lower taxes and school choice. He recognizes that one of this state's biggest challenges is keeping people here. Cassidy wasn't in the legislature when Democrats shoved through the 2011 temporary tax hike. She says it's unrealistic to promise a tax rollback now when the state is nearly broke. She is unenthusiastic about charter schools. We disagree with her on several policy issues. But she has worked nobly on criminal justice reform and integrating felons back into their communities. She was a leader on same sex marriage and backed pension reform. Cassidy is endorsed.
15th District: Rep. John D'Amico of Chicago stood firmly against his party's push for an income tax hike in 2011. He argued then that the state hadn't done enough to justify asking for more money. But now he's wavering on whether to extend that tax hike past Jan. 1, when it will start to roll back. Note to D'Amico: Your party leaders have had three years to prepare for this. Instead, they spent the roughly $30 billion in extra revenue collected from the tax hike and failed to prepare for its expiration. Why aren't you screaming about that? D'Amico has done yeoman's work tightening laws on teen driving. But our endorsement goes to Republican Greg Bedell of Glenview, an attorney who would reduce the size of government, starting with programs at the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity that prop up corporations with taxpayer money. Bedell would reduce Medicaid costs, and wants the feds to give states more flexibility to experiment with reimbursement rates and health savings accounts. Bedell is open to a small increase in the state minimum wage. He is a strong supporter of expanded school choice, an option that could help thousands of Chicago children.
17th District: Two years ago as a candidate, Laura Fine of Glenview told us: "The tax increase should be allowed to expire, as the law provides. The state made a promise to the people of Illinois and we need to honor that promise." We endorsed her, and voters sent her to Springfield. Now she is waffling on that promise. Rolling back the income tax as scheduled would cause "devastation" to our schools and social service agencies, she says. Why didn't she pressure her party leaders to prepare for this day?
Fine says she'd like to see the tax drop gradually when the Illinois economy improves. That "promise" made by the state? Poof! Way to undermine public trust and confidence. Republican Kathleen Myalls of Wilmette is an attorney who understands the need to make Illinois business-friendly by stabilizing its finances, enacting tough pension and Medicaid reforms and forcing government to live within its means. That means rolling back the income tax Jan. 1. Myalls is endorsed.
20th District: Rep. Michael McAuliffe has represented this northwest suburban district since 1996. The only Republican with a piece of Chicago in his district, McAuliffe has been a moderate voice within the party. But he's gotten too comfortable in Springfield. The majority of his bills form task forces or congratulate constituents. Those are the easy ones. Democrat Mo Khan of Park Ridge is a law student who is thoughtful on policy and would bring a fresh perspective. Khan would roll back the income tax and cut spending by promoting more public-private partnerships in state government. Khan is endorsed.
26th District: Chicago Republicans found a star in Jacob "Coby" Hakalir a bank manager who lives in the Bronzeville community. Hakalir knows pension, health care and tax policy better than many Springfield incumbents. He is running in a district that snakes from Streeterville all the way to 87th Street. We'd like to back Hakalir, but he's running against one of the Democratic Party's superstars. Freshman Rep. Christian Mitchell has taken some bold votes — and as a result, he had to fend off a union-driven challenge in the Democratic primary. We give great credit to Mitchell for his steady support for pension reform and expansion of charter schools. His willingness to take the political risks needed to improve his community and his state earns our endorsement.
34th District: We endorsed Mark Ekhoff in the GOP primary and think he'd make a fine legislator. But in this race, we want to recognize a rising star in the black caucus, Rep. Elgie Sims Jr. Sims, an attorney, is willing to dive into the details of crafting effective legislation. He spent weeks negotiating tougher standards in the law allowing for concealed carry. A former Senate budget director, he knows the state's financial picture better than most. Sims is endorsed.
35th District: Freshman Rep. Fran Hurley, a community activist who got her start in the 19th Ward Democratic organization, has earned a second term. She is a no-nonsense legislator who will challenge party orthodoxy. An example: Hiking the minimum wage, she says, could hurt small businesses in her district. She would support a rise in the minimum wage only if it included protections for those businesses. She would not extend the 2011 income tax hike but is open to creating a graduated income tax. Republican Victor Horne, a government poultry inspector, describes himself as "the only black conservative on his block, in his church and at work." We appreciate his thoughtful approach to lowering taxes and shrinking government, but he doesn't make a strong case to overthrow Hurley. She is endorsed.
37th District: This is an open seat in the southwest suburbs. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything Republican Margo McDermed and Democrat Nichole Serbin agree on, except where they like to live — in Mokena. McDermed, a Will County Board member, would lower taxes and cut spending. "We need to encourage job creation by allowing the increase to sunset, creating tax predictability and reducing regulation," McDermed says. Serbin, a small business owner and union supporter, would extend the state income tax hike, raise the minimum wage and end tax breaks for big businesses. McDermed has the better prescription for job growth and economic expansion and is endorsed.
38th District: We have endorsed Democratic Rep. Al Riley, D-Olympia Fields, in the past because he digs into policy and advocates for the south suburbs. But he's blind to the urgent fiscal problems that face the state. He voted against significant pension reform. He opposed a much-needed Medicaid overhaul that most Democrats supported. He voted to undermine charter school expansion even though one of the state's strongest and best-performing charters, Southland College Prep, is in his backyard. Our endorsement goes to Republican Anthony Granata of Frankfort, a young fiscal conservative who serves on the Frankfort Square Park District board. Granata points to politically risky park district votes he cast that demonstrate fiscal discipline.

With increasing populations and global threats, the integrity and safety of global food chains has never been more at risk.
In many countries, simply getting enough to eat can be an issue, with poor quality food often contaminated with hazardous agents. In developed countries, pressure to deliver cheap, affordable food impacts quality and safety.
On this course, you will gain an advanced understanding of food safety issues and intervention approaches to be applied across the food supply chain, to help ensure a sustainable supply of safe, nutritious food meeting demand and improving human health.
This course covers techniques and research being applied and developed to improve food safety. The course is open to all, but aimed at learners at postgraduate level.
Anonymous completed this course, spending 4 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
This was an interesting course on a subject I knew almost nothing about. It was insightful enough to give me an understanding of the complexities of the global food system from a perspective of food security and supply chain integrity. It certainly has changed my view on the stuff in the stores and on what I put on my plate.

Over three years removed from the release of their last album, English indie-rockers (and honorary Australians) The Wombats have revealed the details of their fifth record, Fix Yourself, Not the World.
Set for release in January of 2022, the upcoming record follows on from the arrival of 2018’s Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, and appears after the group’s respective members embarked upon musical careers outside the band. With frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy kicked off Love Fame Tragedy in 2018, launching his debut album just last year, both Dan Haggis and Tord Øverland-Knudsen launched Sunship Balloon in 2020.
Recording the album remotely (with Murph in Los Angeles, Knudsen in Oslo, and Haggis in London), the group discussed plans via Zoom before sending files to producers Jacknife Lee (U2, The Killers), Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey), Paul Meaney (Twenty One Pilots, Nothing But Thieves) and Mark Crew (Bastille, Rag‘n’Bone Man) to craft the final product. “It was pure madness, to be honest,” explains Murph.
Having given fans a taste of the new record by way of “Method to The Madness” back in May, the new album announcement comes following the release of latest single, “If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You”, which is described as “an infectious electro-pop ode to obsessive devotion”.
“I noticed that 2020 and 2021 put some serious strain on interpersonal relationships, it felt like people around me were really struggling,” Murph explains. “For me, ‘If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You’ taps into all of that and asks the question… is it the circumstances putting undue stress on people? Or have the circumstances shed light on people’s incompatibility with one another?”
With the record set for release in January, the group have also unveiled Australian tour plans for 2022, announcing a run of dates which will see the group performing at venues across the country in June of 2022. Full details are available below.
