‘Glass’ Now Looking At Third-Best MLK Weekend Opening With $47M+ Despite Cracks In Tracking – Sunday Final
Final Sunday AM after 7:49AM post: Glass, like a horror movie, was front-loaded in regards to its $14.6M Saturday being down 9% from its $16M opening (which included previews).

This puts Glass at a 4-day that’s under $50M at $47M per Universal. Some think the Blumhouse/BVI production can still hit $50M in four days which would be… Read

Seventeen-year-old Kath McKenny has a date to the end-of-term party with her since-forever crush. He publicly messaged her to confirm, but there’s been a recent status update: he’s taking the new girl — giggly, pretty, well-developed Lana Elliot — instead. After being thoroughly humiliated in front of half the school, best friend Chay talks Kath into revenge: a scheme to create the perfect — and very fake — online guy for Lana. Once she falls for him, they’ll show her what it’s like to get brutally dumped. Everything is going to plan until Kath starts spending more-than-just-friends time with the other new kid in town — Lana’s dreamy older brother, Sebastian. Kath finds herself getting in deep — in love and drowning in guilt, she tries to put an end to her prank, but it’s taken on an unstoppable momentum of its own, with very real consequences. As her plotting begins to unravel, so do the people Kath thought she knew: Her mother has a secret online life. Her father has a whole new family. Her best friend is barely recognisable.

Foxwoods Resort and Casino – run by the Mashantucket Tribal Nation of Connecticut – has become the subject of a union organizing drive by the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW). The effort has reportedly escalated over the past month.
The UAW is moving to organize the 3,500 dealers and casino floor workers of the casino; there are 11,400 employees in Connecticut. The tribe also has a facility in Pennsylvania. Despite a June 1 report in which the union would not confirm their organizing drive, by June 25, according to the Associated Press, they had confirmed the organizing drive, but would not confirm the targeted bargaining units. Foxwoods employees report the organizing effort has picked up speed over the past weekend and that managers are actively interviewing those involved. Casino officials have made clear to employees that they will have to pay union dues and may ultimately lose benefits. To learn more about this drive along with various happening in the casino world. situs judi is the best option online. You get online news and updates there along with popular games.
In February of this year, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling that the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) may apply to tribal enterprises.
Section 2(2) of the NLRA defines a covered “employer” as including any person “acting as an agent of an employer, directly or indirectly,” but specifically excludes the United States government, or any state or political subdivision thereof. Despite a 1976 precedent ruling tribal enterprises are considered exempt political subdivisions, the board ruled in a 1992 case that the NLRA applies to off-reservation enterprises. In “San Manuel Indian Bingo amp; Casino v. NLRB” the Court ruled that exemption must be interpreted narrowly.
In that case, the San Miguel Band of Serrano Mission Indians operated a casino on their reservation in California which was the target of an organizing drive by both The Communication Workers of America (CWA) and the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees (HERE) in 1999. The NLRB ruled that while the NLRB’s interest in enforcing the Act would be likely lower if the enterprise was traditionally tribal in nature that did not involve non-Indians, in the San Miguel case the NLRA applies because the enterprise was a typical commercial enterprise employing and catering to non-Indians.
While the DC Circuit does not have jurisdiction over the District of Connecticut where Foxwoods is located – the Second Circuit has appellate jurisdiction there – it does have jurisdiction over the rulemaking and decisions of the NLRB.
The San Miguel Band could still appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, but as of this writing have not done so. Under the NLRA, at least 30% of members for a proposed bargaining unit must sign authorization cards to force an election.
According to the Foxwoods website, a bingo hall was opened in 1986 and the first phase of the resort and casino was begun in 1992. It is the largest casino in the world.

Florida Police Brutality and Police Misconduct
06/07/2005 - A former Hendry County sheriff's deputy who quit after the video camera in his car caught him kicking and beating a suspect has been charged with misdemeanor battery, the state attorney's office said Friday. State Attorney Steve Russell said John R. Childers, 35, of LaBelle could face up to a year in the county jail on the single count of battery.
Childers resigned amid an internal investigation of his Aug. 28 arrest of Kenneth J. Phillips, 45, of Clewiston. Childers had stopped Phillips on suspicion of drunken driving and fleeing police.
Phillips did not stop when a deputy tried to stop him. He pulled over once, but drove away when deputies rushed toward his Jeep.
When he was pulled over a second time, the videotape shows Childers running to the Jeep and swinging a large flashlight at Phillips at least four times, the Fort Myers News-Press reported in Friday's edition. The deputies are then seen pulling Phillips from the Jeep and throwing him to the ground as they punched him and kicked him. The deputies also used a Taser stun gun and pepper spray on Phillips, the sheriff's report said.
Childers does not have a listed number and it could not be immediately determined if he has an attorney. Childers' supervisor, Sgt. Bobby Shaw, was suspended for five days for not reporting the incident, said Hendry County Sheriff Steve Worley. A third deputy involved was not disciplined. Phillips wasn't seriously injured. Childers is scheduled to be arraigned June 21.
06/07/2005 - Josh Welch is no teen angel. A high school dropout with a few petty crimes under his belt at 16, he smokes cigarettes and talks tough. But his biggest problem on Dec. 9 was that his father had just tried to kill himself. Blood streamed from gashes on his dad's wrists. He needed help.
Josh's mother called 911, and several Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies arrived. They knew the Welches, who have lived in the same house in Wellington for 22 years. Josh's father, 38-year-old Leslie Welch, suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He hadn't taken his medication. It wasn't his first suicide attempt.
They handcuffed him and sat him down in the driveway to talk. Leslie Welch seemed to be in a daze, his son says, and his blood was dripping onto the driveway.
But there was no ambulance, no paramedics.
"They were just talking to him. The ambulance wasn't here. So I called 911 again," he said. "I asked for cops who could do their job."
In a sheriff's report, the deputy wrote that Josh "came at me with a lit cigarette in a threatening manner."
Josh, who is working toward his GED, admits he mouthed off at deputies. He said he did walk onto his front porch with a cigarette but didn't threaten anyone.
From just a few feet away, a deputy fired two Taser probes into his chest, "right over his heart, no less," his father says. Josh remembers the pain and how his body "just wobbled around and stuff" on his front patio.
Josh said the deputies arrested him for resisting arrest and possession of paraphernalia, though neither appears on his state criminal record. Josh said he had drug paraphernalia in his pocket that he picked up from the driveway. The probes left two small scars about an inch apart. "I have chest pains from it," he says.
And the use of a Taser on a teenager still makes his father mad. "They don't like me, and they don't like my family, period," said Leslie Welch, who recovered after getting stitches in his wrists that night.
"I've actually given them reason and they've never shot me. But he's just standing there, and they shoot a 16-year-old."
05/28/2005 - Former Broward Sheriff's Detective Joseph Isabella pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor count of falsifying records on Monday, making him the first deputy to be convicted in the growing crime statistics scandal.
Isabella, 34, who worked in Oakland Park, was fired last week. The conviction makes it likely that he will lose his certification and be unable to work in law enforcement again. He has been suspended without pay since July.
05/28/2005 - WEST PALM BEACH - A deputy needed just nine words to justify firing his Taser stun gun at a 15-year-old girl:
"Subject was given several commands, but did not comply."
That was enough for six Palm Beach County Sheriff's office supervisors to unanimously approve knocking a 115-pound girl to the ground with a paralyzing 50,000-volt electric shock. The deputy's report is one of more than 1,000 that The Palm Beach Post examined in reviewing three years of Taser use by police from Boca Raton to Fort Pierce, starting in 2001, when the weapon arrived in South Florida.
While some of the reports show that the weapons defused violent confrontations and averted the use of lethal force, the investigation also found:
• One out of every four suspects shocked with Tasers was unarmed, non-violent and not posing an apparent immediate threat.
• While health risks from Taser shocks remain under debate, officers have fired them at the very young and the very old - at least 35 people 16 and younger, including a 13-year-old girl, and seven people 61 or older, including an 86-year-old man were shocked. The Post also found that at least three women claiming to be pregnant were shocked.
• Tasers were fired at more than 425 suspects who were being arrested on misdemeanor charges.
• Departments vary widely in how they record and track Taser use, some requiring little or no explanation for why officers fire the weapon.
"There is no medical evidence to support the cavalier use by some police departments," said Ed Jackson, a spokesman for Amnesty International, which has called for a moratorium on the weapon's use. "Tasers are being used in situations where guns, batons, pepper spray would never be used."
Officers used Tasers to stop people who ran, people who were verbally threatening, people who refused to put their hands behind their backs. They used Tasers on handcuffed people who refused to put their feet in police cars.
"There are less draconian tactics that can and should be used in those situations," said George Kirkham, a former police officer, Florida State University criminology professor. They include reasoning, commands, guiding with open hands and "pressure pain compliance" - pressing sensitive areas, such as the jaw, he said.
"Officers are taught these measures that are lower on the force continuum in training. We have pictures of people who won't let go of a steering wheel, and when pressure is applied, their hands come off and no harm is done."
Instead, says Kirkham, "Police are skipping up the use of force continuum through impatience and lack of training."
From October 2001, when Boca Raton Police added Tasers to their arsenal, to last December, 19 police agencies in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast adopted the stun guns. Their use soared from 82 firings in 2002, to 226 in 2003, to 712 last year.
The increase reflects a nationwide trend, and as use has increased, so have calls for moratoriums on the weapons until more is known about their effects and whether they are being abused.
Chicago officials halted distribution of new Tasers to officers after a 14-year-old suffered a heart attack and another man died within a week.
Civic rights activists in Houston called for police to stop and study the weapon's use after 12 people were shocked for "verbal threats" to police officers. Police there, since receiving Tasers in late December, have averaged one Taser firing a day.
Brevard County police chiefs recently agreed on a unified policy that Tasers "will only be utilized when the police officer reasonably believes that a subject is an imminent physical threat or the person is demonstrating an articulable threat to him/herself, the officer, and/or others."
Taser International spokesman Steve Tuttle attributes the increasing scrutiny given the weapons and how they are used to "phenomenal growth," which, according to the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, caused the company's revenue to climb from $2.2 million in 1999 to about $67 million in 2004.
No 'articulable threat'
Until November, Taser International's Web site stated that the weapon is "solely designed to stop the most hardened of targets: extremely violent, aggressive, goal-oriented and drug induced suspects."
Taser's Tuttle said that refers to "the 1-percenters, with superhuman strength and mind-body disconnect." But he adds, the weapon can be used on suspects "up to" that level of resistance as well.
The wording no longer appears on Taser's Web site, but the company's manual used to train Taser instructors, says: "The Taser is best utilized in situations where a hostile or potentially hostile individual is threatening himself or another person." On its Web site, the company typically refers to the target of a Taser as "the attacker."
Cops tout the effectiveness of the weapon in such situations. At the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, assaults on deputies went down from more than 400 in 2003, the year the department adopted the weapon, to 200 assaults the following year, said Captain Frank Demario, a training supervisor for the department. During that year, police officers fired their Tasers 275 times.
In nearly 800 reports from Fort Pierce to Boca Raton, police officers fired Tasers to subdue armed, violent and threatening suspects and suspects who refused to show their hands after repeated commands or who were running toward a house or car from which a weapon could be retrieved.
Described in those reports are a man reaching for a deputy's gun, a suicidal woman holding a knife to her throat, a man armed with a machete who told a deputy "God help you if you come near me" and a violently psychotic man, covered with his own blood and urine, who fought off pepper spray and baton strikes and injured six of seven officers who grappled with him. In nine instances, they were used on snarling dogs.
Of 1,017 accounts of Taser use on humans examined by The Post, however, at least 237 described encounters with people who were not reported to be armed, violent or posing any immediate potential harm to anyone, including themselves. Of those, 143 were charged with misdemeanors, and at least two were not criminally charged at all. They included:
• In Riviera Beach, a police officer used his Taser on a man he was trying to question after finding him asleep on a park bench. The man cursed at the officer and refused to stand to be searched. The officer shocked him on his leg and his shoulder and then released him with a warning about trespassing. A Riviera Beach Police supervisor said the police officer was reprimanded for the inappropriate use of force.
• In suburban Lake Worth, a deputy investigating a car theft fired his Taser at a man who refused to follow orders. The suspect then complied but wasn't arrested.
• A Boynton Beach officer stopped a man for riding a bicycle after dark with no headlight. When the man dismounted and started to run, the police officer shot him with a Taser. The officer took the man and his bike to the police station, issued him a citation, then released him to ride his bicycle into the night - with no headlight.
Police officers and their trainers say capturing fleeing suspects is part of what the Taser is designed for; it is a "distance" weapon that works where others such as pepper spray wouldn't.
Some police departments encourage officers to fire their Tasers rather than chase a fleeing suspect, according to Josh Ederheimer, director of the Police Executive Research Forum's Center for Force and Accountability. That is because foot pursuits can lead to ambushes and accidents. But, he added, "You have to think about it. If someone is running away, the darts can miss or disengage."
The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office is the largest agency in the three-county region that has refused to issue Tasers to its officers.
"There are some benefits to the tool, but I think that there are too many cases we have seen where there are questions of abuse or excessive use," Chief Deputy Gary Wilson said.
Until they see more specific guidelines for use and more convincing studies showing the effects of 50,000 volts of electricity flowing through the bodies of the elderly, pregnant women and drug addicts, Wilson said, they will not use the weapon.
Accountability varies widely
Some departments weigh officers' cannisters of pepper spray at the start and end of every shift.
Tasers come equipped with a "dataport" in the weapon that is designed to record every trigger pull.
That record protects officers from unfounded complaints of abuse and allows supervisors to track their use, Taser International points out.
Departments vary widely, however, in how thoroughly they require officers to explain each use and how much the use is scrutinized by supervisors. In addition, only a handful of departments attempt to track how often their officers point the weapons without firing.
In addition, reports in which officers fired at "unknown" suspects who escaped without being hit by the prongs don't in themselves raise a red flag, according to Ederheimer of PERF, because it is understood that Taser shots can go astray. Such incidents, however, leave only an officer's account of why the Taser was used. Of 16 reports of "unknown subjects," nine from Riviera Beach cops did not report any description of who they were firing at, including gender or race or why they were trying to detain or arrest the person.
West Palm Beach police require supervisors reviewing Taser incidents to interview suspects and to evaluate the use of force in their own words.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, in contrast, requires supervisors only to read the police officer's report and conclude whether the use was within department guidelines.
Police chiefs in Palm Beach County are now working on countywide guidelines for Taser use. A panel headed by Boca Raton Police Chief Andrew Scott has examined restrictions on stun gun use, circumstances under which the weapons should be used and medical treatment following Taser shootings. Scott declined to point to specific changes being considered but said resulting guidelines are likely to go beyond issues addressed in existing local policies.
Bradshaw is optimistic, too, about those efforts.
"Obviously you're going to prohibit use of Tasers on pregnant, elderly, children, people in high places," he said.
05/24/2005 - An officer has been suspended for zapping a 13-year-old girl at least twice with a stun gun while she was handcuffed in his caged patrol car. An internal report by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Llahsmin Lynn Kallead was handcuffed and in the back seat of the patrol car when Officer G.A. Nelson stunned her, the Florida Times-Union reported for Tuesday editions.
Nelson and his partner had been called to the apartment Kallead shares with her mother Rosie Vaughan because they were fighting Feb. 7. Vaughan wanted police to help get medical help for her daughter, who had been hospitalized for observation in the past for emotional disorders, the newspaper said.
Nelson, a 6-foot-2 officer weighing 300 pounds, allegedly used the low-setting stun mode when the 4-foot-8 Kallead wormed the handcuffs from behind her back and would not do as directed. "The situation was under control at this point," the internal report said.
Sgt. D.E. Smith, who was called to the scene, said, "Please don't tell me this is the person you Tased." Department spokesman Ken Jefferson said Nelson has been suspended for three days.
"A supervisor questioned the judgment of the officer, and he began the investigation process," Jefferson said Monday. Nelson did not violate written guidelines on using stun guns, but his actions showed poor judgment, the report said. He had been trained to use Tasers and received training as an instructor in January.
05/24/2005 - A police officer and two other men were arrested Monday, accused of entering the home of a Brazilian man, threatening him and stealing a rare watch and more than $47,000 in cash.
Police said Officer Milton McKinnon, 35, joined Michael Alexis Kuryla and Justin Tavis Bohanan, both 31, in the raid. All three were released from jail after posting $250,000 bail each. On April 17 the three men went to Fransisco Decarvalho's home in the Brickell neighborhood. Decarvalho is a Brazilian national, police said.
McKinnon was in uniform and the other two told Decarvalho that they were police officers, investigators said. According to police spokesman Lt. Bill Schwartz, the men were allegedly hired by Miami jewelry store owner David Levison to collect $61,000 in a business debt.
Schwartz said Decarvalho had purchased watches from Levison under the assumption that one of them was a very rare timepiece. After Decarvalho found out the watch was counterfeit, he stopped payment on a check to Levison. Levison then employed Kuryla to get the money or watches back, Schwartz said.
Police do not know if McKinnon was paid for his participation, during which he was on duty, dressed in full police uniform, driving a marked vehicle and carrying his service firearm, police said.
While at the apartment, Kuryla took four expensive watches worth more than $100,000 and pocketed more than $47,000 in cash. McKinnon withheld the victims' passports and returned them along with three of the watches before leaving the apartment, police said. The watch stolen was worth $50,000, police said.
They trio was charged with armed home invasion robbery and armed false imprisonment. Kuryla and Bohanan were charged with impersonating police officers, while McKinnon was charged with helping them impersonate police.
Levison did not immediately return a message left at his store for comment. McKinnon has been relieved of duty and is facing termination, Schwartz said.
05/24/2005 - A police officer who worked at Lakeland High School has been suspended for violating the police department's stun gun policy.
In one case, Officer Michael Branch stunned five members of the school's baseball team after they "asked you to show them what it felt like to be 'Tased' and you obliged them," Police Chief Roger Boatner said in a disciplinary letter to Branch.
In a later incident, Branch stunned two boys, ages 17 and 18, who were blocking his path as he tried to make his way to a fight that had broken out between two students.
"The students were not facing you at the time and did not offer 'active physical resistance,' " Boatner said. Active resistance is a required factor in the department's policy on proper Taser use.
The weapons, which deliver 50,000 volts of electricity and are touted as nonlethal by their manufacturer and law enforcement, have been under increased scrutiny after the deaths of some suspects. Amnesty International USA cites 103 Taser-related deaths in the United States and Canada since 2001 and has called for a moratorium on their use until further medical studies can be done.
The human rights group is especially concerned about use on children because their brains are still developing and there is no medical evidence as to how the jolts may affect that development or whether they could cause emotional problems, Edward Jackson, media director for Amnesty International, said Friday.
Drug intoxication is the official cause of death in most Taser-related deaths, Jackson said, which raises another concern: "If kids are on Ritalin and they're shocked with the Taser, are we going to see the same situations that we've seen with adults who are on stimulants and die after being shocked with a Taser?"
Boatner acknowledged the ongoing debate in his letter and said that is why following department policy is important. "To develop a personal deployment policy on the 'fly' is unsound and cannot be permitted," he told Branch.
Boatner imposed a 2 1/2-day suspension for the baseball incident and a one-day suspension for the fight, although he made them concurrent so Branch will miss only 2 1/2 days.
Branch, a 17-year department veteran, has transferred to school resource officer at Lakeland Highlands Middle School and "voluntarily gave up his Taser," police spokesman Jack Gillen said.
Branch reported his use of the Taser during the fight, but police didn't learn about the baseball players being stunned until another student told his father and the father complained to Lakeland's principal, Gillen said.
05/24/2005 - Deputies who claim they were coerced by supervisors into falsifying crime reports won't be able to use that as a defense in their upcoming misconduct trials without a specific ruling from a judge.
Broward Circuit Judge Michael Gates' recently ruled that Christian Zapata, a former Broward Sheriff's Office detective in Weston who is accused of wrongly clearing cases, can't present any evidence, testimony or documents that could show he did so at the behest of supervisors.
Jury selection gets underway today for Zapata's trial, two years after the State Attorney's Office began investigating allegations that deputies cooked up phony numbers on crime reports.
With only three deputies charged since the onset of the investigation, the outcome of Zapata's trial could have a big impact on whether other BSO investigators will be charged in the coming months.
''It could definitely be a show stopper if he [Zapata] is found not guilty,'' said Peter Scharf, director of the Center for Society, Law and Justice, at the University of New Orleans.
A former BSO detective in Oakland Park, Joe Isabella, pleaded guilty April 12 to falsifying a police report.
Isabella told BSO investigators he wrongfully cleared cases because of pressure from supervisors and colleagues. Isabella intended to use a coercion defense if his case had gone to trial.
BSO fired Isabella in April.
Zapata and former Weston detective Chris Thieman, also arrested in December on multiple counts of official misconduct, were placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of their trials.
A former detective, Scott Jordan, has told prosecutors that supervisors pressured him into clearing cases improperly. Jordan has not been charged with a crime.
Prosecutors also took a statement from the director of the nonprofit National Institute of Ethics, who conducted integrity classes at BSO in 2000, 2001 and 2003.
Neil Trautman, in a Jan. 28 sworn statement given to Broward prosecutors, condemned crime accountability systems such as BSO's Powertrac, in part because they inevitably push top brass to pressure underlings to improve their crime rates by any means.
''If the prosecution isn't letting [deputies] talk about the climate of coercion within the agency, maybe they're just going after the foot soldiers and not the generals,'' Scharf said.
`It's difficult at this time to say just how high they want to go.''
Zapata, an eight-year veteran, is charged with making up confessions and pinning crimes on people who were in jail or school at the time the burglary or theft occurred.
• Records show Zapata blamed one teen for nearly 30 Weston-area crimes, including one where he said the then 14-year-old hauled away 27 trees weighing more than six tons from a vacant lot.
• Zapata arrested a 15-year-old and cleared nearly a dozen crimes by saying the teen committed them, although attendance records show the youth was at Falcon Cove Middle School at the time some of the crimes were committed.
• Zapata blamed numerous burglaries on a 21-year-old, including the theft of an amplifier from the trunk of a car in the Weston Hills subdivision, that took place 16 hours after he was in custody.
The trial is expected to last up to four weeks with prosecutors calling more than 100 witnesses.
4/23/2005 - ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. A 5-year-old girl was handcuffed by police after she tore papers off a bulletin board and punched an assistant principal in kindergarten class, according to a video released by a lawyer for the child's mother.
The 30-minute tape shows the child appearing to calm down before three police officers pinned her arms behind her back and put on handcuffs as she screamed, "No!"
The camera was rolling March 14 as part of a classroom self-improvement exercise at Fairmount Park Elementary, attorney John Trevena said.
Trevena, who provided the tape to the media this week, said he got it from police. "The image itself will be seared into people's minds when you have three police officers bending a child over a table and forcibly handcuffing her," said Trevena, who represents the girl's mother, Inga Akins.
Police spokesman Bill Proffitt said an investigation into the matter would be complete in about two weeks and the findings would be made public.
11/11/2004 --Miami-Dade police shocked a 6-year-old boy with a 50,000-volt stun gun to keep him from hurting himself with a piece of glass he was waving around in a school office, officials confirmed Thursday.
Police say they followed their Taser guidelines, the child wasn't injured by the shock and he might have hurt himself seriously if they hadn't shocked him.
But the incident, which occurred Oct. 20 at Kelsey Pharr Elementary in Brownsville, has child advocates and experts shaking their heads in disbelief.
''It just sounds excessive to me to Taser gun a 6-year-old when everyone else around there were adults,'' said retired Broward County Juvenile Judge Frank Orlando, who runs a youth-law clinic at Nova Southeastern University. "They couldn't subdue a 6-year-old? Must have been a pretty big kid.''
Police Director Bobby Parker said his department is reviewing the incident, but he defended the officer's decision to use the stun gun.
''We know the child was not harmed other than the little tiny probe pricks you get with the Taser,'' Parker said. 'What we do not know is if the child would or would not have subsequently cut his vein. Had the child cut his vein and the officer had not Tasered the child, somebody would be saying, `Well, you had the Taser. Why didn't you Taser the child?' ''
The boy, who has not been identified, had broken a picture frame in the assistant principal's office and was keeping a security guard at bay when the principal called 911. The police report did not say why the boy was so agitated, but principal Maria Mason told police he had a history of behavioral problems. Mason declined to comment Thursday.
By the time Miami-Dade Officers Marie Abbott and Yolanda Rivera and schools police Officer Valerie Staten arrived, the boy had a cut under his right eye and another on his left hand. The officers tried to get him to put down the shard, according to the police report.
Abbott slid a trash can, hoping the boy would throw the glass away.
When he wouldn't, Rivera contacted a supervisor to see if there was a policy prohibiting the use of a stun gun on a child. There isn't, and the officer was told to do what she felt was necessary.
The officers continued to talk to the child, who didn't respond.
When he tried to cut his own thigh, the officers acted. Abbott shocked him with her Taser while Rivera grabbed him before he collapsed.
The boy was treated by paramedics at the school and taken to Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was committed for psychiatric evaluation.

Despite the Democrats toppling the GOP for the open Governor's seat, our state is still firmly purple; conservative on some issues and liberal on others.
With 75% of precincts reporting, both Amendment 43 and Referendum I were defeated. I am very disappointed about this outcome. Amendment 43 will add the definition of marriage as "a union between one man and one woman" to our state Constitution and Referendum I would have recognized Domestic Partnerships and allowed those couples to enjoy health and property benefits. But, Colorado voters have spoken: if you're gay, then you're not welcome here.
I know that may seem a little harsh, but what else can one infer? Just to be clear, I voted against Amendment 43 and for Referendum I. I consider myself a middle-of-the road voter with conservative tendencies. Still, I am certainly not going to begrudge someone health insurance or the protection of the law, in a domestic violence incidence, simply because that person is in a same-sex relationship.
Sure, I may be biased because I know people in same-sex relationships, but same-sex couples are just as human as those of us in hetero relationships. They love each other. They are committed to each other. But, that's not marriage? Because voters, who may not even be able to define the word amendment, say it isn't. That's bulls**t!
Just like hetero couples, same-sex couples still need health insurance and no one should have to deal with the headache that is Probate court. Certainly if their partner is abusive or dies, people who choose same-sex relationships should have a voice. But, under Colorado law, they don't. It is disappointing. It is short-sighted. And, it's just plain ignorant.
***UPDATE: Rummy can't handle the truth.

(Reuters) - Alaska Air Group Inc <ALK.N> said on Wednesday it completed its $2.6 billion acquisition of Virgin America Inc <VA.O> to become the fifth-largest U.S. carrier.
The four big U.S. airlines by passenger traffic are American Airlines Group Inc <AAL.O>, Delta Air Lines Inc <DAL.N>, United Airlines Inc <UAL.N> and Southwest Airlines Co <LUV.N>, following years of consolidation within the industry and carrier mergers.
Last week, Alaska Air won U.S. antitrust approval for its acquisition of Virgin America on the condition that it would scale back its code-sharing with American Airlines.

Under the settlement with the Justice Department, the companies would be banned from code-sharing on routes where Virgin and American Airlines now compete.
Code-sharing is also barred on routes that Alaska might start in the future if American also flies them.
CFRA Research analyst Jim Corridore said Alaska's acquisition of the cost-sensitive California-based carrier would probably lead to higher fares for consumers in the long run.
Consumers will have better route options with Alaska's access to a wider network, he said, "but in general, any time you have competitor come out of a market, it's not really good for the consumer."
Alaska Air said that with the acquisition, it had nearly 1,200 daily flights to 118 destinations. The companies announced the deal in April.
The Seattle-based carrier's stock was down 0.2 percent at $86.73 in midday trading.
The company said it would continue to operate the Virgin America fleet with its current name for a while and would conduct customer research to understand what fliers value most.

Police are scouring CCTV footage for clues to the identity of armed gangs targeting stores stocking Apple electronics in Auckland.
Police are hunting a group of masked robbers who tied up and cut a staff member with a meat cleaver during an attempted robbery at a Yoobee store in Newmarket and Tasered another man at a Yoobee store in Symonds St before making off with up to $18,000 worth of Apple goods.
Another Apple stockist, Ubertec in Parnell, has been targeted twice by burglars this year.
Detective Senior Sergeant Geoff Ringer said today that it didn't look hopeful that CCTV footage from the Yoobee stores would isolate the people involved but said it was still being studied.
"We will be exploring other avenues tomorrow and would continue to look through the footage.''
After police said yesterday that the two Yoobee store raids may be linked, today Mr Ringer would not say whether there was a connection to the burglaries at Ubertec.
Ubertec Manager Talia Hochwimmer said the stores had been broken into at night when they were closed and unstaffed.
She would not say what goods were taken or how much they were worth.
Yoobee manager Steve Mclean did not want to comment on the robberies at its two Auckland stores, saying the matter was being dealt with by police.


Let me tell you how hey guys I know I look like from scholars right now very high in the air back from London, headed to a York City Expressway a article, so many of you are stuck and can’t start.
I broke it down into that. What how and where right whw right like what are you going to talk about, but the way all of you need to do this and how you actually start is by doing you ever done anything, yet you know this whole fake it till you make. It brings. No value to anybody, you need to make something, and that thing is a manifesto. It’s always been obvious. It’s always been obvious. What causes success? What I needed to do you know every time I read content the internet web television readed, opening the other night was responsible.
Is working she’s interviewed George Lucas, something seeing the same shit. We took it to all the studios, every single one of them and nobody wanted it. So what you do so I said: well, I’m not going to give up now. You’re stuck you haven’t, started cuz you’re stuck, I think, you’re of using trumps the excitement of victory for so many people. So here you go what what I’m going to talk about? What do you want to be known for? Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: what do I want to do every day for the rest of my life? Do that and see what people need to understand is the way we communicate today is so different and the platforms have been redefined.
You want to be in health and fitness, you want to be in strategy, you want to in social media, you want to be and sneakers you want to be in coffee. You want to be in electronics, you want to be in in fashion york like smurfs smurfs. It up, you can make seventy thousand dollars a year talking about the smooth, whether that’s your mission or where you’re at right. Now your truth manifesto tell me what you’re thinking about it like if somebody made a article eight years ago that I think fashion should be high low.
I think people should wear expensive, stuff and inexpensive stuff in one wardrobe. They would have been like the queen or king of the vision of the fashion industry, just by making a article for the thing that facebook why your Instagram, like facebook’s, going to buy instagram four months later it happens. So I was on Piers Morgan, this company’s 550 days old, how the hell is it worth a billion dollars and my opening line is they stole it? And then I guess, last year, this time right, facebook bought whatsapp for 18 billion, and every article like the next day after the news came out is like oh wait a minute.
They fucking stole Instagram the. How is there’s only a certain few ways to communicate in the world whether this is article form something extreme yeah like just get on a train and go away for a week or something different? You have to break pattern whether this is audio form sitting here. Listening to my music list and I’m starting to find a little clarity, audio being a podcast you’re, an outspoken advocate for both hustle with self-awareness yeah.
So if you had to put them in order, even if it’s a 1a and one sample in self-awareness, not important when you know her, you, yes, when you know who you are hustle sexier yeah like it would have been cooler for, like the people. Listening for me to say, hustle, because it’s cooler right heck, you mean of do podcast, put the record on your phone and just speak your truth as I sit here right now, writing this article or at least mellowing it, because that’s how I do it get in Front of a camera to Southeast out, you know I’m old, now, kids, at 40, I’ve observed a lot to tell you that optimism and positive is a huge variable.
Good morning. Instagram me Gary. Instead of a motivational quote or some sort of collapse, one of those tamanna fees tell you all the guys, their attention thumbs up on the tripod or have a d-rock, your nephew or sister, making me this is real quick you can in turn is here. Somebody guys might remember him or you write it, but the way all of you need to do this and how you actually start is. By doing I create an obnoxious amount of content because you’re the strategy of how we do it don’t do anything.
Just keep. Reading keep reading my stuff keep being entertained by my energy. Keep being inspired, don’t do don’t look and have dinner at seven o’clock and 22 years like when your strategy is right, you win, and so we have figured out that pillar content creates content underneath it at scale. Everybody welcome to the first hashtag askgaryvee. I think it’s the first one, but I actually do think I tried to do this once before.
I feel like I’ve got the team now in place to actually do this more often to macro patients macro patience, my patients you’ve got a deploy. Patients you’ve got to love the process, what’s the ROI of social media, so I look at her ago. What’s the ROI of your mother, there are so many people in here that shouldn’t be producing article, because that is not the best way they communicate only a decade ago, as I was speaking here, all I would be talking about is blogging.
Yet there are people in this room that are caught up by picture and article communication and they are tremendous writers and they don’t realize that blogging or posting on medium or even my favorite little hack. Right now, if you’re a good writer – and you want to build up a profile for your business or for yourself, I actually highly recommend you start blogging inside of Facebook and Instagram, I literally mean writing seven.
Fifteen twenty five sentences. Three four five paragraphs word: a written content within your feeds that people will absolutely consumed. So that’s number one and two know what and and how right like. How are you going to do it and then we’re distribution? That’s that’s what you need to figure out next and it’s the hardest part for a lot of you hardest part is to start the next hardest. Binlog things are hard hard to start hard to know what format do it in audio written article and the number three? How do you get people to see it all goes down in the DM which key is providing other people more value? I just don’t see people doing it, it blows me away and it is absolutely wonderful and it is absolutely going down on Instagram DM influencers where you pay for it even pay in facebook ads Instagram a sponsorship deals youtube pre-rolls against people of those interests fashion.
You know feed line, sneakers technology or or you reach out to people that have audiences urge hashtags click them look at. The account then see how you can bring them values, DM them go and soft, bring value, rinse and repeat: 10, three or five thousand times. So the thing maybe should do is go upper east side doesn’t get. This guy looks like it took picture Haji Instagram influencers right now today, for doers is the probably, but only behind facebook, ads the single best arbitrage in marketing and then then try and then you learn when you’re a pioneer you have to taste it.
There’s no report. There’s no white paper, there’s no modeling mixed metrics that are going to teach you how that’s going to work when you’re the first explorer. You have to taste the berries and hopefully they’re, not poisonous we’re living through this incredible era of massive opportunity. Yet everybody’s talking and reading and nobody’s fucking doing start fucking executing. So what does that mean? That means you should write a medium blog post every week, content podcast article written, quotes, pictures and then tactics.
What scares me quite a bit is that most of you, when you see these logos, you think of a piece of content that you make and you think of those five blogs and more as places where you distribute it. Twitter and Facebook are tools. Twitter and Facebook are markers and crayons right, no fax machine. These are not just distribution blogs. These are blogs where you have the natively story, tell Facebook youtube and instagram or ABC NBC and CBS, and what I figured out for last decade is how to make mash and the end with and show, and he are inside.
Though, and my question is, how do I also and stop being a pussy metemma, I want to do where you are go. What’s lacking you some, I don’t know other people’s POV come on man classic style. Yes, yes, please take a step back and think about how awesome it actually is. It is imperative that not only do you start thinking about your content strategy on these platforms for your business, facebook, targeting I mean, like I mean that’s it like you, can literally put your business address, run a male, a radius around it or everybody in the 70, 8, 1 zip code or 20 8802 as very Jersey in the house, zip code and everybody will see it and that’s in that zip code in that feed.
It’s a piece of cake. So if we talk about coffee, Google, the word coffee and the word blog or coffee and media company and literally email, every editor and writer of every copy blog on the internet, the way you’re going to make money online and by the way anywhere it’s by grabbing. It so if I were you, I would do this, I would go to whoville, I would type in beer, so I would click this one pop glasses, calm.
I go to this site, I see what they have. I would find if the phone number of this place. Here’s a phone number. I pick it up. How long could I speak to about you guys, possibly advertising a light? Beer blog that’s mean, then search the hashtag coffee and go to every coffee, influencer and coffee, released and coffee media site on Instagram and DM them, and ask them to give awareness to this manifesto.
You just wrote, and one out of three hundred twenty-seven will but that’s better than zero. Undervalue is just that. One view needs to be the right view. Place one view is a humongous will take sense until you do it and what I’m willing to sit here right now and make this article hoping that one fucker one boxer says: oh shit, yeah fuck it. Where the threaten word. We look at the mediums linkedin.
The word presses, you start a blog right or we do it on your facebook or you do in your cereal. How there’s only really three core waves in the current internet to really communicate to the world, the written word or article? What I’m doing right now youtube facebook, article Instagram one minute version article – is the other way we communicate a number three audio the boom of podcast. These are things that matter what the fuck do you want to talk about? How are you going to communicate it written audio or article, and how do you get people access see? This is where we showed you how to go into the DM right, then, before you’ve got to figure out how to use some money and use facebook ads and target the people that you’re trying to reach or grinding hustle.
Just literally female is 702 1500 different blogs or media sites and saying he wanted this spread with my content, somebody has a 14,000 person, email newsletter about coffee news, find that person and ask them Scott asked, be smart, Jab, Jab right hook, ask them what you can Do for them, because you want everybody to read this. He posted on medium and hit up the editors of medium, who curate content post a link on it and to read it right, hit up the 4700 coffee influencers on youtube and send them a message and ask them if they want to read it on their youtube.
Blog that has 147 views. 147 news is better than zero, the fuckin work and how you start

All Of The Celebrities Who Are Publicly Supporting Donald Trump In The 2024 Presidential Election
By Sophia Maddox | October 6, 2023
Donald Trump's presidency was polarizing to say the least, and while many of his celebrity supporters jumped ship following the results of the 2020 presidential election he's still backed by plenty of famous faces.
Celebrities like musician and conservative activist Ted Nugent, whose passionate rhetoric has struck a chord with many Trump supporters has stuck by 45's side, just like Kid Rock, whose unapologetic endorsement of Trump has garnered significant attention in the media. But it's not just rockstars backing the former president. He has Super Bowl winners, award winning rappers, comedians, and reality TV stars by his side.
Join us as we explore the intriguing realm of celebrity endorsements and their role in shaping the political landscape. As the 2024 presidential election draws closer we'll continue to update these influential personalities and their alignment with Trump's campaign.
In July 2023, former President Trump backed country music star Jason Aldean following the the controversy surrounding the music video for his song "Try That In A Small Town." Aldean has been a long time Trump supporter who's even visited 45's Mar-A-Lago resort with his wife. While Aldean hasn't explicitly stated his 2024 ballot box decision, it's safe to say that he won't be voting a straight Democratic ticket.
This is a bit of an odd one but it still sort of counts as a celebrity endorsing the former president. In 2022, Ye (formerly Kanye West) announced that he's once again throwing his hat into the presidential election ring in 2024, tweeting that he'd like Trump to be his VP after visiting him at Mar-a-Lago. He wrote:
First time at Mar-a-Lago. Rain and traffic. Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting. And I had on jeans. What you guys think [Trump’s] response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?
It's a kind of support, don't you think?

Each week, this article will be looking at players outside the top-12 at their respective position that can help you win your weekly contests in daily fantasy. Some weeks will be running back and wide receiver centric, while others will focus on quarterbacks and tight ends if the matchups go that way.
With no preseason and a significant lack of training camp-related injuries, we are lucky enough to have a full slate of players to choose from this week. This article will focus on the main slate over at DraftKings but will include the FanDuel prices for the fantasy managers that play on that site.
COVID-19 is going to throw some wrenches into the daily fantasy machine this year. Make sure always to check your lineups before they lock, and feel free to reach out on twitter with questions. Good luck in Week 1.
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB – SF vs. ARI ($5,800 DraftKings, $7,400 FanDuel)
Garoppolo isn’t inside the top-15 quarterbacks on DraftKings this week, but should easily beat that mark in Week 1. Jimmy G takes on an Arizona Cardinals unit that he completely torched last season. In two games versus his division rival, Garoppolo was 62 for 82 for 741 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions as he put up two of his three best daily fantasy performances of the season. The 28-year-old accomplished all of this without his favorite target, tight end George Kittle. The Cardinals also ranked second-worst in the league last season, after allowing 281.9 passing yards per game. Start Garoppolo with confidence to kick off the 2020 season.
Derek Carr, QB – LV @ CAR ($5,900 DK, $7,100 FD)
Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders make their 2020 debut on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Panthers used every single draft pick they had this year on the defensive side of the ball, but that didn’t stop Pro Football Focus ranking their secondary 31st in the league heading into the season. Carr was given the keys to a new car over the offseason with the additions of Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards while still retaining his favorite targets in Darren Waller, Josh Jacobs, and Hunter Renfrow. Carr has thrown for 4,000 yards in back-to-back seasons and will look to make it three in a row with a good start on Sunday.
Marlon Mack, RB – IND @ JAX ($5,300 DK, $6,100 FD)
Everyone has, rightfully, fallen in love with Jonathon Taylor over the summer as the hot new thing in Indianapolis, but that doesn’t mean daily players should forget about Mack. Over the last two seasons, the running back has averaged 999.5 yards and 8.5 touchdowns while carrying the ball 17 times a game. The Colts aren’t just going to toss him aside to make way for the rookie.
Mack received at least 14 touches in 11 games last season and produced over 16 fantasy points in seven of them. Two of those 11 games came against his opponent this week, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he gave fantasy managers 186 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. A lot of people will be on Taylor this week, but being the contrarian and taking Mack in a likely blowout scenario will give your team the edge it needs during Sunday’s main slate.
Boston Scott, RB – PHI @ WAS ($4,800 DK, $4,700 FD)
Cheaper By The Dozen is an article about DFS, but Scott should be on the radar for those managers that also play in season-long formats. Miles Sanders is recovering from a lower-body issue that saw him sit out the majority of training camp and has the Philadelphia Eagles staff admitting they could limit his snaps in the season opener against the Washington Football Team.
That paves the way for Scott to blow his current price tag out of the water. In his final four games of the regular season, Scott received at least six targets in every game and caught 92 percent of them on his way to a massive finish in Week 17. In that matchup against the New York Giants, Scott carried the ball 19 times and caught four passes for 84 yards on top of finding the endzone three times. He made a lot of fantasy players wealthy that day and Week 1 could be a repeat performance if he steps into the lead role as Sanders works his way back from that injury.
Jamison Crowder, WR – NYJ @BUF ($5,200 DK, $6,000 FD)
Crowder scored 20-plus fantasy points in four games last season. Two of those games came against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills’ secondary is one of the best in the league, but if there is one place to attack them, it’s the slot. Crowder had 22 catches on 27 targets for 165 yards and one touchdown across his two games versus Buffalo last season and seems primed to have a repeat performance in Week 1. The 27-year-old is in his second year with the Jets and led the team in catches and targets last season. Rookie Denzel Mims popped up on the injury report on Friday, and if he sits, the targets will continue to be funneled towards Crowder.
DeSean Jackson, WR – PHI @ WAS ($4,900 DK, $5,700 FD)
If daily players are looking for a value play and a lock simultaneously, then look no further than Jackson in Week 1. Over the past two seasons, Jackson has averaged 6.5 catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns in his first game of the season. Not impressed yet? He has played Washington twice to begin his season, and he averages 7.5 catches for 129 yards and 1.5 touchdowns. How is this not the most dominant receiver in NFL history? Well, it’s because he can’t stay healthy. Luckily for fantasy managers, it’s Week 1, and Jackson hasn’t had an opportunity to pick up an injury. The track record is too robust to ignore, and the 33-year-old is a couple of boom plays away from dominating tournaments this week.
Jack Doyle, TE – IND @ JAX ($3,600 DK, $5,300 FD)
There are two things I know heading into the Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars game on Sunday. One, the Philip Rivers loves throwing to his tight ends, and two, the Jaguars defense is atrocious. This recommendation only happens on DraftKings, where Doyle’s price is $3,600. Jacksonville ranked 18th versus tight ends last season, but that was when they had some elite talent on that side of the ball, and Doyle had Eric Ebron to compete with for targets. Ebron has gone to Pittsburgh, and Mo Alie-Cox is his only competition at the position for targets. Rivers has thrown to the tight end on 22.6 percent of his passes since he took over as a starter in 2006. That is well above the NFL average, and Doyle should benefit mightily.

Colombo (News 1st) – The Ministry of Education has decided to implement a program to monitor international schools.
Additional Secretary of the Ministry R.M.M. Rathnayake noted that none of the international schools in the country come under the supervision of the Ministry fo education. He added that due to this the ministry cannot look into the curriculum being taught, the pressure on students as well as the discipline of students.
The ministry also notes that there are concerns regarding the qualifications of teachers at international schools. Rathnayake noted that the ministry will take steps in order to monitor international schools due to this reason.

Issued by the BC Ministry of Environment, April 9, 2013
COURTENAY – The B.C. government is partnering with Vancouver Island University and the Comox Valley Project Watershed Society to better understand how coastal communities can combine action on climate change and improvements to coastal ecosystems, and at the same time potentially benefit economically from these activities.
The Province, Vancouver Island University and Comox Valley Project Watershed Society have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and identified opportunities – starting in the Comox Valley – for these blue carbon projects in B.C.
To contribute to the success of the agreement, the Ministry of Environment is providing $30,000 to commission a first phase of scientific research planning. Blue carbon is the carbon stored in the marine environment, shellfish, plants and sediment. Healthy estuaries remove and store carbon dioxide – possibly even more effectively than plants on land.
B.C. has 27,200 kilometres of coastline and 422 estuaries to work with. Blue carbon projects have climate change reduction and adaptation benefits, as well as economic and environmental opportunities for communities and First Nations along the B.C. coastline.
The parties have agreed to:
- Identify additional eligible project areas for blue carbon project activities along the B.C. coast.
- Evaluate the reasonable cost per tonne to undertake various blue carbon projects, including key variables in forecasting costs (i.e., accessible vs. inaccessible coastline).
- Undertake projects involving a wide range of shoreline and estuary protection and habitat restoration activities on private and public lands that can be designed, developed, quantified and verified to meet domestic and international quality standards.
- Undertake the necessary research and analysis to support the creation and sale of greenhouse gas offsets from blue carbon projects that will be recognized as quality offsets in international markets.
Through these activities, Vancouver Island University will increase its ability to respond to coastal community needs and meet the educational goals of its students. The Province will better understand the opportunity to combine community action on dealing with the impacts of a changing climate, climate change reduction and ecological improvement in coastal ecosystems.
Comox Valley Project Watershed Society will build local expertise and capacity, and restore valuable intertidal areas to the benefit of B.C. coastal and First Nations communities.
Environment Minister Terry Lake – “By leveraging blue carbon, we have the opportunity to reduce the risk of sea level rise and ocean acidification, and repair centuries of habitat destruction. Blue carbon also supports community-based efforts to create climate change solutions locally and will make possible cultural, economic and environmental benefits.”
MLA (Comox Valley) and Education Minister Don McRae – “Blue carbon is the point where ecological restoration, greenhouse gas reduction and climate change adaptation converge. With our unrivaled knowledge in ecosystem and climate change science, strong policies to drive investment in sequestration and a world-leading approach to dealing with the impacts of a changing climate, B.C. possesses the tools and expertise the world is looking for. The end result will hopefully be the creation of sustainable jobs in coastal areas of B.C. such as the Comox Valley.”
Dr. Ralph Nilson, president and vice-chancellor, Vancouver Island University – “Preservation and restoration of coastal marine ecosystems is essential to support the sustainability and quality of life in the coastal communities that Vancouver Island University is proud to serve. We are delighted to be a part of the research and restoration efforts that will not only have a positive local impact but potential global application in mitigating climate change.”
Paul Horgen, chair, Comox Valley Project Watershed Society – “Eelgrass meadows are disappearing from coastal estuaries as a result of pollution, habitat destruction and burial. Their loss is a loss of an important natural carbon sink. Restoration efforts have economic and climate adaptation benefits, and provide key wildlife habitat – a hat trick for the environment. We look forward to working with the Province and VIU to make the Comox Valley blue carbon project a local effort with international ramifications.”


(CNSNews.com) - U.S. legislation signed into law by President Donald Trump last August authorizes the federal government to impose sanctions on European companies involved in Nord Stream 2.
The legislation declares it U.S. policy to “continue to oppose the Nord Stream 2 pipeline” and to “prioritize the export of United States energy resources in order to create American jobs, help United States allies and partners, and strengthen United States foreign policy.”
The administration has yet to take action on that provision of the Countering Adversarial Nations Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), which targets Russia as well as Iran and North Korea.
In March, 39 senators from both parties urged the administration in a letter to “utilize all of the tools at its disposal” to prevent the construction of the pipeline, which they said “will make American allies and partners in Europe more susceptible to Moscow’s coercion and malign influence.”
“The best way to guarantee Europe’s long term economic health and independence is to enable and support investment in a variety of energy sources, suppliers, and routes to meet Europe’s needs,” they wrote.
Several days after the letter was sent, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told a briefing that companies involved in the construction and financing of the pipeline “could expose themselves to sanctions” under CAATSA.
“We believe that the Nord Stream 2 project would undermine Europe’s overall energy security and stability,” she said. “It would provide Russia another tool to pressure European countries, especially countries such as Ukraine.”
As CNSNews.com has reported, President Trump -- at a Wednesday morning meeting in Belgium with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg -- bluntly criticized Germany for buying oil and gas from Russia -- the country that NATO was formed to protect against.
"So we're supposed to protect you against Russia, but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia, and I think that's very inappropriate," Trump said. "And the former chancellor of Germany is the head of the pipeline company that's supplying the gas. Ultimately Germany will have almost 70 percent of their country controlled by Russia with natural gas. So you tell me, is that appropriate?" he asked.
Trump said "it should never have been allowed to happen," and he noted that he's been complaining about the situation since he took office.

Gerolsteiner rider Andrea Moletta remains on "inactive" status and will not participate in the Dauphiné Libéré as originally planned. Team manager Hans-Michael Holczer told the German press agency dpa that he will not ride until it is established what was in a syringe that the police found in the possession of his father. Holczer is in contact with the Guardia Finanza (an Italian law enforcement agency responsible for drug trafficking), which is handling the investigation.
His father, Natolino, was on his way to the Giro d'Italia on May 20 with two others when their vehicle was stopped and searched. A one-way syringe was find hidden in a toothpaste package in a cooler in the car. Moletta senior said that it was a painkilling medication for his own use.
A house search at the Moletta's uncovered nothing, but the search of the car driver's house turned up 82 packages of Viagra. The team subsequently removed the younger Moletta from the Giro after learning of the incident and placed him on "inactive" status, based on the team's Code of Conduct. (SW)

Preparing for dental implant surgery involves several essential steps that pave the way for a successful procedure and optimal results. The process starts with an initial consultation, where your oral health and bone density will be evaluated to determine the feasibility of dental implants. During this crucial phase, your dentist will discuss treatment options, potential risks, and set realistic expectations. Proper preparation ensures that you are mentally and physically ready for the surgery, which may involve various types of anesthesia or sedation. Understanding these critical aspects and collaborating closely with your dental professionals will help you approach the surgery with confidence and achieve the best possible outcome for your dental implant journey.
Embarking on the journey of dental implant surgery requires a comprehensive understanding of the process and its various stages. The initial consultation with the dentist serves as the foundation, where they meticulously assess your eligibility for dental implants. Through a thorough dental examination and advanced imaging, your oral health and bone density are meticulously evaluated, enabling the dental team to create a tailored treatment plan. Engaging in open discussions about treatment options, potential risks, and expected outcomes empowers you to make informed decisions. Adequate preparation before the surgery, including following specific instructions on fasting and medication, ensures a smooth procedure. During the surgical placement of dental implants into the jawbone, you witness the precise skill and expertise of the dental professionals, ensuring a solid foundation for the restorations. The remarkable osseointegration process, where the implant integrates seamlessly with the surrounding bone, sets the stage for the final steps of the procedure. The placement of the abutment, a crucial connector between the implant and restoration, further adds to the intricacy of the process. Skilled customization and fitting of dental crowns or prosthetics complete the process, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile. Regular follow-ups with the dentist are essential, allowing them to monitor healing progress and address any concerns promptly. With the successful completion of the dental implant procedure, you can rejoice in the remarkable benefits of a fully restored smile, along with improved oral function and overall well-being.
After undergoing dental implant surgery, careful post-surgery recovery and attentive care are paramount for ensuring successful healing and long-term implant success. The initial days following the procedure require adherence to specific guidelines, including managing pain and discomfort with prescribed medications and ice packs. It is essential to follow a soft food diet and avoid chewing on the surgical site to promote proper healing. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial, and the dentist may recommend gentle rinsing with a saline solution. Regular follow-up visits with the dental team allow for monitoring progress and addressing any concerns promptly. As the healing process progresses, patients can gradually resume their normal dental care routine while paying close attention to the implant area. By adopting these essential steps, patients can foster a smooth and complication-free recovery, allowing the dental implants to integrate seamlessly and provide a solid foundation for their new, confident smiles.
Osseointegration is a remarkable biological process that plays a crucial role in the success of dental implants. This intricate process involves the fusion of the implant with the surrounding jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation for the artificial tooth. As the bone and implant integrate, they form a bond that mimics the natural root of a tooth. Osseointegration ensures that the dental implant becomes a permanent and functional part of the patient's mouth. The success of this process relies on multiple factors, including the quality of the bone, the surgical technique used, and the patient's overall oral health. With osseointegration as the cornerstone of dental implant success, patients can confidently enjoy the benefits of a fully restored smile and improved oral function, enhancing their quality of life for years to come.
