Washington, DC, March 2– In Defense of Christians (IDC), the nation’s leading advocacy organization for Christians and religious minorities in the Middle East, applauds Rep. Eliot Engel and Rep. Ed Royce for Introducing H.R. 5132., a Bill Targeting the The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a branch of Iran’s Armed Forces intended to protect the country’s Islamic Republic system that is also involved in foreign destabilization. The bipartisan bill authorizes the administration to sanction entities in which the IRGC has an ownership stake of less than 50 percent, significantly raising the stakes for anyone doing business with the IRGC.
On Friday, IDC’s Executive Director Philippe Nassif said “This is a great first step in countering Iran’s malign influence in the Middle East. The IRGC trains thousands of foreign operatives to destabilize other countries, such as in Iraq and Lebanon.”
IDC continues to call for the full implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 calling for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon as well as for U.N. Security Council Resolution 1559 which declares support for a free and fair presidential election in Lebanon conducted without foreign interference or influence.

IMO interesting commentary!
Press Release from Oregon’s US Senator Jeff Merkley
“Americans deserve to know how much information about their private communications the government believes it’s allowed to take under the law. There is plenty of room to have this debate without compromising our surveillance sources or methods or tipping our hand to our enemies. We can’t have a serious debate about how much surveillance of Americans’ communications should be permitted without ending secret law.”
“Of course, ensuring Americans’ safety is one of our government’s most important responsibilities, but there is a careful balance between protecting Americans and honoring the Fourth Amendment,”

Thanks so much for your support so far for Home Depot’s Give the Gift of Good. If you missed it, be SURE to check it out! We’re talking a possible $20,000 home improvement! We need your help to find a local deserving military family…thanks in advance for your submissions and ideas!
Since we revealed the dining room, we have loved our space and had a ball looking at it. I’ll be honest, we haven’t officially eaten at the table yet. I’m too nervous. I know it’s fine…I sealed it FOUR times, but you know, it’s going to be this heirloom in our family. I do know that I have to get over it. We sure didn’t build it to stare at it…although, I could do so for quite a long time.
Last week, after picking up an inspiration piece, I decided it was time to add a little fall decorating to the dining room. Here’s what it looks like today…
It was begging for a little color, and a fun piece of peacock striped fabric (as a table runner) does the trick for me. Love it! At $2.47 a yard, it only set me back $6 plus tax. I left it unhemmed and simply folded it to create a new runner. If you follow me on Facebook, though, you know my mom is teaching me to sew, so striped peacock fabric of the world, beware.
I’m comin’ for ya.
After I laid our “runner” on the table, I knew I wanted to incorporate some gala or pink lady apples into the mix. Not only are they our favorite (especially if they’re organic), it’s time to make some fall homemade applesauce…and that color contrast is fab. I found the pewter tumblers at Troy Antiques for $1 each.
I got the hand painted Gail Pittman dishes back when I was a Willow House consultant several years ago, and it made me happy to pull them out again. The place mats are from French Laundry Home via One Kings Lane, the same ones you saw in the dining room reveal.
The leaf-shaped salad plates are Better Homes & Garden via Walmart…yep, that’s right. I LOVED them, so I snagged six when they ran a sale.
We won’t actually be hosting any fall parties, so I left off the flatware and chargers. Plus, I really wanted those hand painted babies to pop off of the oatmeal colored place mat. Check, check.
The feathers, sticks, and seed pods are all from a faux arrangement I previously had in our home. That’s a tip for you….find a big, gaudy faux floral arrangement at the thrift store, and deconstruct it to use the bits you love.
Those adorable (free!) Thankful Cards are by the fabulous Jones Design Company. The kids and I are really enjoying recording what we’re thankful for this year. Love that girl…love her work! Go check out her printables and her home…beautiful!!
I used old jelly molds to hold corks fashioned to hold my place cards. A little sprig of greenery finishes off each place setting.
Let’s get to the rest of the table decor, shall we?
I filled two footed hurricanes with a little brown rice and sticks. I originally sketched some dried split peas (because I’ve been loving split peas for years!), but I had brown rice on hand, and loved the way it looked next to the gorgeous handmade pottery mugs I found at a flea market.
They’re definitely handmade, and the signature on the bottom appears written in…and I’m having quite a hard time reading it. I hope to find out more about them soon. If you have any info, don’t hesitate to pass it along.
I sat a vintage caddy on top of a scrap piece of the reclaimed wood we used to build the table from. Holiday time is a time to sit down and stay…so keep your centerpieces low enough to encourage lots of conversation.
This beautiful caddy came from–you guessed it–Troy Antiques. I think it was $12…that place is truly a treasure trove!
The two vines came from Hobby Lobby, and I was able to grab those at 50% off.
I couldn’t totally stop with the table. The bookcases got a little updating and shifting around.
Here’s what they looked like when we finished the dining room.
Here they are now…
They’re not that different, but I just get the urge to move things around and highlight certain “sit-abouts.”
Yes, that’s soap. Soap in my bookcases.
Hand milled soap is beautiful, fragrant, and really graphic. I love how they form little structural moments in a bathroom, so why not?
Oh, the plate that started it all. I found it, again, here in town. It’s Vintage D & C France China….I’m quite the lucky gal. I scored it for $3, and they appraised around $50 per plate most of the time.
I LOVE colors and graphic nature of the pattern…it’s sooo eye catching!
I kept my wooden book holder in place, and simply added in some of the books I found a couple of weeks ago. The gold frame is a little small for our built ins, but I don’t mind. I just wanted that pattern/color right there next to those two shelves, and didn’t mind that it did not cover up too much shelf space.
Plus, I love my honey.
I added this Ikea pillow cover into the mix of linens to tie a little red in. I love it…and have been going back and forth on buying one for at least a year.
What do ya think? Fresh enough fall decorating for you?
It’s got me quite happy and dreaming of homemade applesauce.
I think that’s a pretty good place to be in.

The Government’s last-minute reaction to the prospect of Bulgarians and Romanians being able to work freely in the UK from 1 January has once again revealed its lack of strategic direction. After all, the date when the transitional arrangements for these countries comes to an end has been known for the past seven years.
Clearly all this talk of wanting to change the benefit system for new arrivals and reduce access to the UK labour market for EU citizens is a clear admission of what economists have been saying for some time. The Government’s pledge to reduce net immigration was bound to fail since, as things stand, one cannot control the movement of people from the rest of the EU.
What does not make sense economically is that Labour too is fanning the flames of anti-European prejudice by saying repeatedly it was a mistake not to impose transitional arrangements as other EU countries did on the first eight Eastern European countries to join the EU in 2004. It’s true that the number of Poles and others who entered the UK was vastly underestimated, but it was unquestionably good for the UK economy to have the increase in skilled and unskilled labour. Until the crash of 2008, the UK grew faster than its EU partners thanks to allowing a vigorous new labour force into Britain.
Yes, any major arrival of foreign incomers causes tensions, as I heard myself on a recent visit to Boston in Lincolnshire to take part in a Question Time debate. But EU workers have allowed sectors to flourish and companies to expand, thus generating more spending and employment in the communities they found themselves in.
It is also wrong to accuse EU workers of benefit-scrounging. A recent paper for the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration argued that over the past decade, we have seen a net fiscal benefit from immigrants from European Economic Area countries. These workers are calculated to have paid more in taxes and contributions than they received in benefits and transfers.
Nor does it make sense to blame the foreigners for our current housing shortage. Britain long ago gave up state predictive planning. Even without EU workers, there would have been a major shortage of affordable housing for British citizens.
What about the NHS? Far from abusing the health service, many Eastern European men and women now work for the NHS (or in care homes), and the Conservative and Labour critics of EU workers need to ask what other sources there are to look after our ageing society. The independent Office for Budget Responsibility has calculated that migration contributes positively to the sustainability of public finances, and without net migration of at least 140,000 a year, long-term public debt levels would rocket under the pressure to finance long‑term social needs.
Ministers should beware of falling into a classic trap – the “lump of labour fallacy”, or the belief that there is only a limited number of jobs and that “foreigners take them away from us”. Extra people create extra demand, and by keeping firms going they create conditions for further investment and recruitment. Employment levels are at their highest ever, while unemployment continues to fall.
Let’s also not forget that 2.2 million British people live and work on the Continent, and we should be careful before we hang a notice on Britain’s front door saying “No more Europeans wanted”. Unlike 2004, all 26 EU member states in 2014 will open up labour-market access to Bulgarians and Romanians, and these new workers will spread themselves around, with Germany and Austria other likely destinations.
The UK has always been in favour of enlargement, which does it credit. But being seen as a “nasty” country deters investment and growth. The current fear of the foreigner is British politics at its worst. It contributes to a growing populism which obscures the real economic benefits to the UK of being part of the single European market.

29th April 2014
One Balcombe villager spoke in support of Cuadrilla’s planning application to test the viability of its oil exploration well when it came before councillors this morning.
Rodney Jago, who said he had lived in Balcombe for 20 years, urged West Sussex County Council’s planning committee to approve the application. To groans from the public gallery he said last year’s drilling operation had caused no damage to the environment.
It had caused less disturbance than house building or loft conversions, he said. “Had it not been for protesters, residents would not have noticed”. Mr Jago said he lived in the centre of Balcombe and despite having his windows open at night he heard nothing from the exploration site when it was drilling the well. “People who did must have been using microphones or sleeping on the grass verges”, he said.
He accused opponents of being “selfish” in their desire to avoid what he described as “minor disturbance”.
He said the testing work that Cuadrilla was applying to do would be “almost unnoticeable”. If the well went into production, he added, there would be even less disturbance, with just a couple of tankers a week.
Mr Jago said the country needed the royalties, taxes and jobs that oil exploration would bring. “If we want to provide work for young people and improve our health and welfare services we cannot burden our economy with renewable energy at three times the price.”
The committee overwhelmingly approved the application for flow testing, a flare and site restoration. Only one member of the committee voted against.

Charlie day dating
Check out excerpts that highlight some of the stand-out points of the interview, and listen to the audio for the full conversation: CHARLIE DAY: We did so much baby stuff last year that we weren’t going to deal with the baby thing at all, and then we thought it would be funny to put the baby thing to rest, once and for all, with a baby funeral.
And then, just through our process, the story became something a little bit different.
We work really hard to make sure that our stuff just isn’t like, “Yeah, that’s a funny joke.” It’s gotta feel like there’s something more happening, so there’s a little depth to it. It sounds really stupid, but it’s got to be grounded.
One of the things that we pride ourselves on is that you can watch the show multiple times and get more from it because that’s what we challenge ourselves with. I just mean that there are a lot of things to make fun of. At this point in the run of the series, does FX let you do what you want? It’s not that they didn’t trust us before, it’s just that we were all figuring the show out together. We give them episodes and they’re pretty good at honing in on what’s good about the episode, and sometimes topping it and giving us other ideas. With things getting darker this season, do you guys get more empty and depraved, or do you warm up a little bit?
Coming up with ideas though, there’s a lot of stuff to prey on. Structuring it and making it really work, as an episode, is the toughest part. We have a pretty good idea of what they like, as well as what we like, so we don’t really get much push-back, but that’s mostly because we also know the kinds of things that they would push back on, anyway. Do you see the show coming back for a Season 8 and 9? HOWERTON: Our characters can have moments where they probably can’t truly imagine the worst happening, although they’ll agree to it.
They’ll be like, “Yeah, I’m doing my thing, and if you end up dying, that’s fine.” But, deep down inside, if something like that actually happened, [I think they would care].
Mc ELHENNEY: I was watching a very popular sitcom and noticing about how the characters were getting better looking, as the seasons progressed.
The FX Network program’s pilot was originally shot as a short film by 3 struggling actors in LA for no more than the price of the DV tape.
You know, maybe something involving I know that the cast resides in L.
DAY: The concept was that everyone pictures those guys as maniacs who do stuff like that all the time, and they come into our bar, just ‘cause they figured there would be no one there and they’d get a little peace and quiet. We hadn’t really been doing that since Season 2, so to do it again in Season 6 was a bit of a challenge.
And, thinking it’s a fun prank on them, we savagely beat them to the ground, and then we get in a big, nasty lawsuit with them. Doing what we normally do, which is each individual episode being its own thing, is challenging, in a different way, because you have very little time to wrap everything up. We definitely talked about whether or not we wanted to even do that.

With Georgia’s General Assembly starting a new 40-day legislative session this week, proponents of bringing casino gambling to the state are hopeful the topic will be central to the state’s future.
Senator Brandon Beach plans to introduce a proposal to introduce five casinos and one horse racing track in the upcoming legislative.
The most recent polls in the state suggest that a majority of voters want casinos to be introduced into the state.
A poll by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution saw 56 per cent of registered voters support the introduction of casinos with only 38 per cent against them.
Senator Beach requires two-thirds of the House and Senate to agree to then put the issue to voters in a 2018 referendum.
He said: “I’m a Republican. There’s nothing more Republican or more conservative than allowing the voters to decide if they would like to pursue this.”
His bill will propose a 12 per cent tax on gross gaming revenue although that figure will probably have to increase to be approved by the General Assembly. Casinos in Maryland are taxed at up to 67 per cent.
Senator Beach has proposed that the state be split into four geographic zones: I-20 to the north, Coastal Georgia, Middle Georgia and South Georgia. He said a ‘primary’ license would be granted to a leading casino operator, with a minimum investment of $1bn in a new resort casino within 25 miles of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. It would be allowed an unlimited number of gaming positions.
The bill would then offer four secondary licenses each with a minimum investment of $250m, which would allow 2,000 gaming positions and a racino horse track license with a minimum $150m investment giving 1,500 gaming positions. The secondary licensed casino would not be located within 50 miles of the primary licensed casino. The new gaming venues would be regulated by a division of the Georgia Lottery Corporation, which would also be in charge of awarding the licenses.
MGM Resorts and Wynn Resorts are lobbying Georgia’s legislators to let voters decide on a constitutional amendment allowing casinos.
MGM Resorts International CEO James Murren recently spoke of a potential casino/resort in Georgia in an Atlanta speech before local businessmen.
However, House Speaker David Ralston does not believe the legislation will be enacted this year.
“We’ve got a lot of decisions we have to make,” he said. “I’m not sure we’ll be able to make them all this session. And I’m still not sure that casinos in Georgia are consistent with where we want to be as a state.”
Supporters of the bill believe that the success of MGM’s new National Harbor complex in Maryland, which opened in early December, could help sway opinion.
The Georgia Horse Racing Coalition is hopeful that a decision on allowing pari-mutuel wagering and a racino in Georgia will be put before voters. It is hopeful of seeing Piedmont Park, a Thoroughbred racetrack near Atlanta, come to fruition.
Steven Crayne, Executive Director of the Georgia Horse Racing Coalition, said: “Horse racing on its own does not offer enough tax revenue to move the needle. State leaders need money to shore up the Hope scholarship and other areas of education. If they adopt resort-style gaming, then you have the revenue and there is something for everyone. There is an uptick across the state. What we’re proposing will be good for Georgia and for racing.”

WASHINGTON — The family of a student who was sexually abused by a teaching assistant has filed a federal lawsuit against Prince George’s County Public Schools.
The family is seeking damages from the school system, claiming that a background check should have prevented Jason Jamar Howard, 33, from being hired in the first place.
In 2013, Howard pleaded guilty and was convicted of abusing the 8-year-old girl multiple times while he worked at Glenn Dale Elementary School. It was in April 2013 that a teacher witnessed Howard fondling the girl and reported him to the school’s principal.
In the lawsuit, filed at the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, the family’s lawyers claim that a look into Howard’s background would have shown that the Riverdale, Maryland man was charged with sexual offense and assault in 2002, although those charges were later dropped.
Lawyers for the girl’s family also say the school failed to properly supervise Howard and therefore, he was able to use his position to “sexually molest” the girl.
The lawyer for the school system denied many of the allegations in the lawsuit and asked the court to throw out the case.
After his conviction, Howard was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
This case comes as Prince George’s County Public Schools deals with a child pornography scandal involving a volunteer at Judge Sylvania W. Woods Elementary School in Glenarden. Police allege that Deonte Carraway, 22, coerced young children to perform sexual acts so he could video tape them. He is also accused of engaging in sexual acts with children who range from 9 to 12 years old. Carraway remains in jail in Prince George’s County.
It is the practice of Prince George’s County Public Schools not to comment on pending litigation.

Group delay method for MRI aortic pulse wave velocity measurements in clinical protocols with low temporal resolution: Validation in a heterogeneous cohort
BACKGROUND: MRI assessment of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) helps predict the risk of vascular events, but the recommended phase contrast sampling rate is faster than what is utilized in most clinical sequences. There are many existing MRI databases obtained for assessment of cardiac output using lower temporal frequency sampling where information might be obtained about aortic stiffness (PWV). In this work, we sought to evaluate whether the Group Delay (GD) method can generate a reproducible measure of stiffness and describe expected age-related stiffening of the aortic arch using lower sampling rates in standard clinical sequences. METHODS: Phase contrast (PC) MRI was obtained on the ascending and descending aortic arch in a heterogeneous adult cohort (n = 23; 9 women) spanning over a wide range of ages (ages 24-89, mean 49.4 ± 18.4). Data was collected with standard cardiac MRI protocols for cardiac output evaluation (repetition time = 7.8 ms, views-per-segment = 4, encoding velocity = 200 cm/s). Pulse wave transit times (TT) were computed using the GD method, two other validated automated approaches (cross correlation TT Algorithm by Gaddum and Segment by Medviso), and the manual tangent method. Pressure waveforms from tonometry and flow waveforms from PC MRI were used to assess wave reflections. RESULTS: Group Delay and TT-Algorithm showed significant and high retest reproducibility (r = 0.86 for both) as well as high PWV correlation with age (r = 0.93, P-value < 0.00005 and r = 0.96, P-value < 0.00005 respectively) and with each other (r = 0.94, P-value < 0.00001, RMSE = 0.94 m/s). Arbitrary altering of the image acquisition trigger in the GD method introduced error of 10%-13%, but the TT-algorithm error range was 11%-25%. CONCLUSION: Group Delay enables reproducible assessment of transit time to derive PWV from low temporal resolution clinical cardiac MRI sequences that can also identify age-related stiffening.

STROUD â€” Several Poteau High School individuals and relays won regional titles at Saturday's Class 4A Regional Meet.
Deven Bond won the 3,200-meter run (12:56.95) as well as was part of the regional-champion 3,200-meter relay (10:18.63) along with Colleen Peterson, Jazmine Warren and Sheridan Hoyer.
Paitton Callery won the regional title in the pole vault (8-0), Jesse Woodson took first in the 100-meter dash (11.13 seconds), Dakota Clark claimed gold in the 300-meter hurdles (41.25) and Trevor Shankle was the regional champion in the shot put (46-11.75).
LUTHER â€” The good news was that the Pocola High School track teams had some individuals place at Saturday's Class 2A Regional Meet. The bad news was that none made state.
The individual who had the best shot at making state was Lady Indian long jumper Karolina Thorpe, who tied for sixth with a mark of 12-2. However, she did not get one of the at-large bids to the Class 2A State Meet, which will be Friday and Saturday at Midwest City Carl Albert High School's Titan Stadium.
All other Pocola placers were below sixth, which made them ineligible for at-large state berths.
Here are the results from the 2012 Hershey Track Meet, which took place April 23 at Heavener's Harvey Stadium. The top two finishers in each event in each division qualify for the state meet June 30 at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.
100 â€” 1. Justin Stallings, Heavener, 13.06; 2. Kale Barcheers, Poteau, 13.22; 3. Weston Ward, Hodgen, 16.35.
200 â€” 1. Justin Stallings, Heavener, N/A; 2. Kale Barcheers, Poteau, N/A; 3. Landin Troutman, Poteau, N/A.
800 â€” 1. Brandon Moore, Fanshawe, 2:53.62; 2. Nathaniel Embry, Heavener, 3:09.08.
HEAVENER â€” With just a pair of wins Thursday afternoon at the Class 5A Regional Tournament in McAlester, the Heavener Lady Wolves won the regional title â€” and trip to today's state tournament at Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. The Lady Wolves (27-9) will meet Blanchard at 10 a.m. this morning, with three more wins winning a state title.
HEAVENER â€” The â€śsecond season,â€ť as it's dubbed, will begin at 6:30 p.m. tonight for the Heavener Wolves soccer team as it entertains Riverfield at Harvey Stadium in the second round of the Class 4A state playoffs.
The Wolves are undefeated to this point (10-0), which is making for a lot of fun â€” especially for the seniors.
â€śIt has been great,â€ť senior Carlos Gonzalez said. â€śWe're undefeated. I think we can win a state championship.â€ť
â€śWe've just been having fun, but we're working and playing hard,â€ť senior Neftali Bravo said.
CATOOSA â€” The Poteau Pirates have been scoring goals at a sizzling pace, but when they arrived in Catoosa Friday night, they found a strong wind â€” and a tribe of hungry Indians waiting in the wings to sink the Pirates' ship.
Catoosa played hard and kept the Pirates at arm's length. They actually gained the lead at the 13-minute mark.
At that point, the wake up call was delivered to the Pirates. They started playing with a vengeance as they outscored Catoosa 7-0 over the final 67 minutes of the game for a 7-1 victory to begin the Class 4A playoffs.
The Wister Wildcats received good news from the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association Monday afternoon when they were named a Class 2A Regional Tournament host.
The â€™Cats will welcome Pocola, Haworth and Hartshorne to town beginning Thursday afternoon.
The Spiro Bulldogs were sent to the same place they were a season ago for a Class 3A Regional Tournament â€” Eufaula, along with Morris and Valliant. Action here will also begin on Thursday.
The complete playoff schedule is listed below.


MultiVersus’ latest patch includes a lot of the usual balance adjustments and bug fixes, but underneath that is a new mode – Spectator. You can now watch custom games with up to four friends and even watch bot games to see “which bot will win”.
Game Director Tony Huynh confirmed that Spectator mode was coming two months ago when someone said on Twitter: “I wish Mvs had lobbies like Ult where multiple people can join and watch or wait in line. @Tony_Huynh You should check it out in the future”. He replied, “Very soon for Spectate”, and now, here it is.
Fans have been asking for it since launch, particularly in custom games to make competitive play more viable. Being able to spectate makes it easier to host tournaments as people can log in and out instead of the host having to manually sort people in and out each time. And if you only play occasionally, you can take turns fighting and watching your friends get kicked while you’re not playing.
The patch notes also confirm that MultiVersus “has plans to allow more combo routes on Batman from his jab combo” as well as plans “to add additional counterplay to Jake’s air down special and skateboard combo.” Neither will be addressed in this patch, but both are things MultiVersus is investigating for future updates.
At the beginning it said: “We want to push Morty more in the direction of a bruiser, but the changes could not be implemented for this patch. The goal is for Morty to have more of a combo play while reducing a bit of his projectile utility.”
And then there’s Black Adam. His bot’s AI had a bug that caused it to call itself and essentially throw games, but you won’t be able to see this in the new Spectator mode since it’s been patched out.

North Dakota farm family wants terrorizing, theft charges dismissedLAKOTA, N.D. — Attorneys from both sides gave a preview of what the trial of Rodney Brossart might be like during a hearing Monday on his motion to have the felony charges against him of terrorizing and theft dismissed.
Brossart appeared with his wife, Susan, and their children Abby, Jacob, Thomas and Alex, all appearing jointly in the pre-trial hearing before state District Judge Joel Medd over criminal charges related to their aggressive resistance to law enforcement officers a year ago who were responding to a complaint from a neighbor over three stray cows and their calves.
Bruce Quick, the Fargo attorney defending Brossart, questioned Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke and his chief deputy, Eric Braathen, over what Quick argues in his motion was a cruel and unwarranted arrest last summer.
The fact that Braathen used a Taser on Brossart several times within “one minute and 18 seconds” of introducing himself in a farm field over what was at the time a suspected misdemeanor is part of the “outrageous government conduct” that requires the charges be dropped, Quick argued in his brief and through his questioning Monday.
Janke had no right to serve a search warrant that was effective only for the missile site in the middle of a field at the Brossart farmstead, Quick said.
Janke said he was attempting to serve the warrant on Susan Brossart, because she, along with Rodney, was the owner or lessee of the missile silo site where the stray cattle were penned. The three Brossart sons walked toward the sheriff and other officers, holding long guns and lowered them into pointing toward them, Janke said under questioning by prosecutor Doug Manbeck.
The issue of law enforcement’s use of a federal aerial drone to surveil the Brossarts last summer came up only briefly Monday in court.
Janke said he never asked the U.S. Border Patrol for the use of the drone. But because of all the chatter June 23 about the escalating incident at the Brossarts, a federal agent asked Janke if he wanted the services of a drone.
Janke said he agreed and did view the laptop screen showing the Brossart farmstead from high above that day. But the drone didn’t affect his actions that day, Janke said.
Judge Medd said he would rule within 30 days on the motions to dismiss the charges and to move the trial because of the publicity. Other pre-trial conferences, including deadlines for possible plea bargains, will be set after his ruling.
Dan Gast, a Fargo attorney, represented Susan Brossart and the four Brossart children Monday in court, asking a few questions of witnesses.
Both sides have agreed to handle the cases against all six family members, who remain free on bail, in joint hearings.
During a break Monday, Rodney Brossart said they are finishing up their spring planting and that the crops look pretty good.

Substance use disorders (SUD) are common and individuals who suffer from them are prone to relapse. One of the most common consequences of the use of and withdrawal from substances of abuse is sleep disturbance. Substances of abuse affect sleep physiology, including the neurotransmitter systems that regulate the sleep-wake system. Emerging research now highlights an interactive effect between sleep disorders and substance use. New findings in alcohol and sleep research have utilized sophisticated research designs and expanded the scope of EEG and circadian rhythm analyses. Research on marijuana and sleep has progressed with findings on the effects of marijuana withdrawal on objective and subjective measures of sleep. Treatment studies have focused primarily on sleep in alcohol use disorders. Therapies for insomnia in cannabis disorders are needed. Future research is poised to further address mechanisms of sleep disturbance in alcoholics and the effect of medical marijuana on sleep and daytime functioning.

A man fatally shot by a bicyclist this week outside a central Las Vegas Valley business has been identified.
He was 42-year-old Jordan Taitano, the Clark County coroner’s office said. His city of residence is unknown.
At about 8:20 p.m. a bicyclist approached Taitano near a liquor store on 605 E. Twain Ave., fired twice at Taitano’s chest and rode away, police said. Taitano died at Sunrise Hospital less than an hour later.
The shooter may have fought with Taitano and pointed a weapon him at the same location that morning, the Metropolitan Police Department said. Police believe he returned later with the weapon and fired.
No arrests have been made in connection to the homicide as of Thursday, Metro spokesman Larry Hadfield said.
Taitano’s death is the 50th homicide in Clark County for 2017.

The Beautiful Restaurant is in southeast Atlanta. The promise of pie caught my eye as I drove by and so I decided to try it. But I'm hardly the first person to do so---several awards decorate its walls.
The Beautiful is a classic southern cafeteria. I decided to try the short ribs, which were fork tender an delicious. The collard greens were tangy as they should be. The cornbread dressing was very sweet and a perfect complement to the other two. Since the peach cobbler was on display, I decided to try it and save the pie for another visit. The filling was sweet but not too sweet; the topping was soft and rich from immersion in peach sauce. I couldn't finish my dinner, so I took the cobbler home with me and finished it later.

WWE legend Teddy Long wants Randy Orton to go to NXT and help the younger generation of wrestlers if he was hanging up his boots.
With Bob Orton Jr. recently revealing that the doctors have advised The Viper to stay away from in-ring action, fans have been wondering what lies ahead for him. While some are still optimistic about the former WWE Champion making a comeback, many have braced themselves for his retirement.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Teddy Long stated that since Orton need not worry about money, he could transition to a mentoring role. The former SmackDown General Manager explained that Randy Orton could take a young performer under his wing and mold him.
The WWE Hall of Famer also believes the 43-year-old could take a job down in NXT and mentor the up-and-coming stars alongside the likes of Shawn Michaels.
"If Randy is pretty much set, and the other thing you said about him taking somebody under his wing and helping him out. That's what I would do if I was this guy. Randy is still a young man; he's still got a long future. That's what I would do. If I were him, I would go to maybe NXT, take a job there, and help some of the young kids and show them the right way. Randy Orton is another guy who knows how this works, and that's why you gotta have people like him, Shawn Michaels, or Terry Taylor," said Teddy Long. (5:42 - 6:12)
Check out the full video below:
Teddy Long on Randy Orton giving back to the business
Furthermore, Teddy Long explained working as a coach in NXT could be a way to make easy money while also giving back to the business.
The WWE Hall of Famer thinks Orton could leave a lasting legacy behind by guiding the megastars of tomorrow.
"If Randy was smart, I would take that. That'd be easy and plus, he's giving back to the business. Then you can watch what you've done if you have helped some of the young kids out. You can sit back and watch and be proud of your work," added Teddy Long. (6:24 - 6:38)
It remains to be seen what's in store for Randy Orton, who was last seen on WWE's programming in May 2022.
Do you think The Viper should take Teddy Long's suggestion and take up a backstage role in WWE? Sound off in the comments section below.

Offshore sensors for use under water
Inductive proximity switches of this product family cope with the most difficult environmental influences found during offshore use. The proximity switches are based on the conventional inductive principle and switch when a metallic object moves close. Contactless positioning tasks in seawater environments or even below the sea level require special properties, such as a high IP class, high pressure and impact and seawater resistance. These properties are achieved by, for example, using materials such as stainless steel 1.4571, longitudinally watertight and seawater-proof cables or even a one-piece stainless steel housing. Sensors of this series can be used at a water depth of up to 300 m.
