VIDEO: Robert Jasper's Trad M12 Scarefest
In February, German alpinist Robert Jasper opened an exciting new four-pitch M12 WI5 trad mixed-climb on the Breitwangflue wall above Kandersteg, Switzerland. Jasper's route—Ritter der Kokosnuß (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)—is the direct line next to Jasper's Flying Circus (the world's first M10), which he established in 1998. The route has a crux pitch of naturally protected M12 climbing (using pegs, nuts, and friends), an M9 pitch and then finishes with a WI5 pitch. For the full story of Jasper's Ritter der Kokosnuß, click here.

Take your lashes to great lengths with this must-have mascara that extends lashes up to 60% instantly! The exclusive Fibrestretch™ formula turns the tiniest, finest lashes from barely-there to infinite lengths. And the patented Extreme Lash brush attaches supple fibers to every eyelash for an instant lash extension effect that's utterly unforgettable. Ophthalmologist Tested.
This is one of my all time favourite mascaras! It lengthens your lashes like no other mascara that I've tried and never clumps. The formulation is more wet than dry and it makes your lashes look amazing. The only problem with it is the price (depending on where you live, it is around 30$). Although you're only supposed to have a mascara for up to 3 months, I use it for a little longer to get the most out of the product. If you're looking to volumize your lashes, this specific one from Lancôme doesn't do much, but I know there are others from the brand that are amazing such as the Hypnose Drama or Hypnose Star. I can't wait to repurchase it!
I had been complaining about my crappy mascara to a friend so she gave me a trial size of this to shut me up. That trial size tube became my lashes' best friend! I love this mascara; it never clumps, is a dark, rich color, and glides on beautifully; the applicator is perfect. This is now the only mascara I use.
i have like no eyelashes this thing like tripled its length especially with lancome's lash booster. i swear this stuff is a freaking miracle! thank you lancome and katherine at the lancome counter! :]

text: Virtuous Icon created a matchmaking project because even though we are going around empowering women and young girls in many areas of their lives, we have seen that single men and women want to get married but can't find or do not know how to look for their soul mates. So we want to help, train and encourage as many singles as possible so that they can find true love and get married to the man or woman God has kept for them and stop heart breaks. A lot of children with single parents are suffering emotionally and mentally, that is why you find a lot of them on the street, prison, doing prostitution etc. All these because of lack of parental guidance. Our primary objective is to make the singles understand the important of a good marriage because the success of the society depends on the product (children) from the homes.

A new year brings us a new set of rankings in the 155-pound lightweight division in MMA.
Perhaps the most stacked division in the entire sport, the lightweights shot into the spotlight in 2011 and appear ready to do so again in 2012.
The upcoming UFC lightweight title bout between Frankie Edgar and Benson Henderson will headline the UFC 144 fight card from Japan in February, a fight which many are calling an early candidate for Fight of the Year.
That fight is expected to settle the debate of who the best 155-pounder in the world is, but there are a number of other fighters who will be attempting to stake their claim to the lightweight throne in 2012.
These 10 lightweights are all on track and maybe only a fight or two away from their own chance at being No. 1 in the world.
These rankings are the combined effort of some of Bleacher Report MMA's best writers, as we continue to try to provide you with the best content on the web.

|Related to
Mortals are beings susceptible to aging and death, the opposite of immortals. Human beings, including most magical witches, are mortal.[1]
Non-magical mortalsEdit
The term mortal is commonly used to denote non-magical humans. These mortals are considered neutral beings due to their lack of any magical abilities or affiliation with good or evil.[2]
Secret KeepersEdit
Over the years, the Charmed Ones have entrusted several mortals with the secret that they are magical witches. These secret keepers, most notably law enforcement officers such as Darryl Morris, have often helped the sisters with covering up their magical tracks.
Gaining magical abilitiesEdit
Non-magical mortals are capable of becoming magical through various means;
- They can become demons through various form of demonic conversion.
- By imbuing them with powers through spells or Power Granting.
- Being possessed by magical beings or gaining access to magical artifacts.
As mortals are not meant to have magical powers, being infected with a huge amount of them can cause infected mortals to grow increasingly unstable and insane, and will eventually lead to death. Leo Wyatt once explained witches are able to handle magic due to generations of preparation, while mortals lack this experience.[3]
- "Human being possessed of a demonic power will become confused then frightened, paranoid, violent and demonic, will ultimately die if the power isn't withdrawn."
- —Paige reading from the Book of Shadows.[src]
In 2000, Dr. Curtis Williamson gained the powers of the Charmed Ones by accidentally injecting himself with their blood. The overload of power led to insanity and ultimately his death.[4] In another case, Karen Young was used by Demonic Power Brokers to store their powers. This led her to paranoia and almost death before the Charmed Ones were able to remove the powers from her.[5]
In 2009, the shift of magic caused all magical beings to lose their powers and mortals to develop them. A world filled with magical mortals led to a state of chaos and anarchy, due to these mortals never learning to properly deal with magic. During this time, mortals seemed unaffected by the corruptive effects of wielding magic.[6] Balance was eventually restored when Prue took control of the All.[7]
Magical mortalsEdit
While most mortals are ordinary human beings, a number of humans are gifted with magic. Although generally not referred to as mortals, these humans are still susceptible to death. Witches are human beings, as are other magical beings such as Firestarters. Other magical beings, such as Whitelighters and Cupids, are no longer mortals due to having died and being reborn as immortal angelic beings.
Some mortals, like the Chosen One, are only able to utilize magic when they are destined to. Other mortals, such as Bo Lightfeather and Stan Provazolli, are blessed with the ability to see the future, but lack other magical powers.
- ↑ Certain witches are immortal.
- ↑ Season 7, Scry Hard: the Nexus choose Leo as host, a non-magical being, instead of the Charmed Ones or the demon Zankou.

- ↑ Season 2, Astral Monkey
- ↑ Season 4, The Fifth Halliwheel

Safest New Brunswick Neighborhoods
With a crime rate of 46 per one thousand residents, New Brunswick has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 22. Within New Jersey, more than 96% of the communities have a lower crime rate than New Brunswick.
Importantly, when you compare New Brunswick to other communities of similar population, then New Brunswick crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how New Brunswick does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 18,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how New Brunswick does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in New Brunswick.
For New Brunswick, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in New Brunswick is one in 126.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that New Brunswick's rate for property crime is 38 per one thousand population. This makes New Brunswick a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in New Brunswick is one in 26.

Jennifer Aniston is engaged to screenwriter and actor Justin Theroux.
A rep of Theroux told People magazine: "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage."
Aniston's rep, Stephen Huvane, confirmed the engagement to The Associated Press.
Forty-one-year-old Theroux - whose screenwriting credits include Tropic Thunder, Iron Man 2 and Rock of Ages - popped the question on Friday, which was also his birthday.
Aniston and Theroux have been dating for about 15 months after meeting on the set of the comedy Wanderlust.
This will be 43-year-old Aniston's second marriage and Theroux's first. Her union with Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 - and their subsequent divorce - became rich material for the tabloids.
After her marriage ended, she was in high-profile relationships with Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.

Peace Walker Contributes to Konami Profits Surge
PSP contributes 40% of the company's total sales for the quarter thanks to Metal Gear.
Japanese publisher Konami has announced its financial results for the first quarter of the 2011 financial year (April to June 2010) and has stated that the "solid performance" of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has helped it post a profit of 1.27 billion yen ($14.8 million) a 245% increase over the previous quarter.
Peace Walker sold 1.27 million units across the period, helping boost the PSP's share of unit sales to 40%, with the Nintendo DS -- led by continued strong sales of "girlfriend simulator" Love Plus and the release of its sequel Love Plus Plus in Japan in June -- following up with 18% of all sales, despite only being available in Japan.
Indeed, it seems that the majority of Konami's recent success has been in Japan, with the company also giving tribute to World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010 Aoki Samurai no Chosen selling well in Japan during the World Cup, but the company promises to "continue to focus on the expanding overseas video game software market," with the upcoming launches of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Karaoke Revolution Glee, and Def Jam Rapstar.

Good gamePosted: Aug 05, 2010 12:00AM PST by Ravinoth
But it doesn't look that smooth on the PSP. It looks great, but not that great. A fair number of PSP games have seen PS2 ports. It's reasonable to see this go that route as well. Motorstorm Arctic Edge, the Syphon Filter games, and a couple other games made the transition as well.
edit: I could see that screenshot as secretly being the PS2 version. It's too smooth for PSP.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 46 reviews
Loved the city! Cathedral was amazing
Excellent hotel with highly competent and friendly staff, well appointed and highly comfortable rooms, lovely garden in the back of the hotel, and very good location of the hotel with parking. The trilingual staff was always helpful and pleasant to deal with for a variety of requests. And they, without asking, upgraded our room upon check-in. Our only complaint was that the breakfast was overpriced and even the staff acknowledged this! But there are plenty of cafes nearby with reasonable breakfasts options. But we would for sure stay here again.
A truly terrific hotel, with wonderful views and exceptionally helpful staff, who went out of their way to make the stay a success.

Watch A Congresswoman Dismantle Right-Wing Media's New Favorite Clinton Pseudo-Scandal
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has an extensive history of attacking the media, and his campaign and supporters have joined in the fight throughout the election. The nominee, his surrogates, and his supporters have called media outlets and reporters across the spectrum "dishonest," "neurotic," "dumb," and a "waste of time," and until recently, the campaign had a media blacklist of outlets that weren't allowed into campaign events.
Trump's Damage Control After NY Times Tax Bombshell At Odds With His Own Tax Plan That Favors His Own Businesses
Following The New York Times' report that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may have been able to avoid federal income taxes for 18 years after declaring a $916 million loss in 1995 as his businesses collapsed, some pundits are adopting the Trump campaign's spin that the story proves that Trump "knows the tax code far better than anyone … and he is the only one that knows how to fix it." In fact, Trump's tax plan "doesn't just preserve those breaks, it piles on new ones for real estate developers like Mr. Trump himself," according to The Washington Post. The proposal would deliver a massive tax cut to Trump's own businesses while providing a multi-trillion dollar tax cut to the wealthiest Americans.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump updated his tax reform plan in a September 15 speech, just over a month after his initial August 9 revision of the plan. The conservative-leaning Tax Foundation has now scored Trump's latest tax plan and found it would still cost trillions of dollars in lost tax revenue and would overwhelmingly benefit higher-income earners. Mainstream media are using these findings to push back on Trump's claims that he supports the middle class and to shine a spotlight on the contradicting statements about the economy his campaign has made.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once again updated his tax and economic policy proposals during a September 15 speech at the Economic Club of New York. Journalists and experts immediately slammed Trump's plan as "a total fantasy," "pretty much impossible," and "pie in the sky."
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board criticized Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe for continuing his effort to restore voting rights to former felons, echoing an unfounded Virginia GOP claim that McAuliffe, a Democrat, "is acting in contempt of the court that has rebuked him."
On April 22, McAuliffe issued an order restoring voting rights to approximately 206,000 Virginians who lost them due to prior felony convictions. Nearly 13,000 Virginians subsequently registered to vote. But the speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, William Howell, filed a lawsuit against McAuliffe seeking to stop the restoration of rights to this group of people, arguing the governor did not use his authority properly. The Virginia Supreme Court agreed, halting McAuliffe's executive action and bumping those who had registered off the voting rolls.
After the state Supreme Court ruled, McAuliffe again began restoring voting rights to former felons, but on a case-by-case basis, which the court had specifically suggested as an acceptable alternative. As explained by the governor's office, "While it is our position that the Governor's April 22nd action was clearly constitutional by any reasonable standard, he will proceed with individual restorations in accordance with the Virginia Supreme Court's order and the precedent of governors before him."
But the Journal still took issue with the latest round of restorations in a August 12 editorial, baselessly suggesting that McAuliffe "is acting in contempt of the court that has rebuked him" and claiming that if McAuliffe "gets away with" restoring voting rights, we would be "well down the road to tyranny":
President Obama has charted new levels of executive defiance, but even he hasn't refused to obey a Supreme Court ruling. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has sought to follow Mr. Obama's executive hubris, and now he's gone further and is acting in contempt of the court that has rebuked him.
In July the Virginia Supreme Court struck down his executive order restoring voting rights to 206,000 felons. Under Virginia law the Governor can grant clemency on an individual basis. But the justices wrote that "Governor McAuliffe's assertion of 'absolute' power to issue his executive order" runs "afoul of the separation-of-powers principle" in the Virginia constitution. The individual clemency power, the court admonished, "does not mean he can effectively rewrite the general rule of law."
The Democratic Governor claims he is restoring these voting rights by the thousands on an "individual" basis. And he says he plans to do so for all of the more than 200,000 remaining felons by the time his term ends.
This is contempt of both the court and the legislature, or what is known as the "suspension" of a law simply because an executive disagrees with it. This is why the Founders wrote the Constitution to protect against such actions by kings, and Virginia Republicans have now gone to court again to stop him. Their filing last week, submitted by former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Chuck Cooper, argues that Mr. McAuliffe's mass restoration orders "have precisely the same scope, precisely the same effect, and accomplish precisely the same unconstitutional suspension of Virginia's felon-disenfranchisement law."
The Journal provides no proof that McAuliffe is violating any court order or not evaluating the restorations on a case-to-case basis as his office described, a process which the Journal explicitly admits is legal under Virginia law, noting that the "Governor can grant clemency on an individual basis." As McAuliffe's court filing explains, voting rights were individually restored to "most but not all of the [12,521] people who had previously registered" and to "an additional 6,957 persons, all of whom had requested to have their rights restored, and he did so, again, through individualized orders after a case-by-case review process." This procedure follows the guidance of the court, which found such an individualized review to be unobjectionable, affirming that "the Governor can use his clemency powers to mitigate a general rule of law on a case-by-case basis."
The Journal is no friend to expanded voting rights, especially when the denial of rights disproportionately harms minorities, as barring former felons from voting does. Its opinion pages have argued against the restoration of the Voting Rights Act and for restrictive Voter ID laws.
And that background makes the Journal's hostility to McAuliffe's actions unsurprising. The denial of voting rights for felons has long had a disproportionately negative impact on African-Americans in Virginia. As Erika Wood, the former deputy director at the Brennan Center for Justice, explained in a 2010 Richmond Times Dispatch op-ed, "There is ample evidence in the historical record that" the law denying former felons the right to vote "is firmly rooted in Jim Crow, and its intended effects continue today," when "one in every six African Americans in Virginia, and one in four African-American men, is permanently disenfranchised under this law. African Americans make up only one fifth of Virginia's population, but over half of those are disenfranchised."

Wall Street Journal Scandalizes Hillary Clinton's Attendance At Her Husband's Birthday Party
A new report from The Wall Street Journal provides an excellent example of the media's tendency to suggest malfeasance around events related to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, even when they have found no evidence to support that impression. Based on documents and spin from a right-wing organization, the story actually scandalizes Clinton's attendance at her husband's birthday party.
Publication bias -- the tendency to publish stories regardless of whether they prove the premise the reporters set out to investigate -- is one of the most pernicious aspects of press coverage of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. As Vox's Matt Yglesias has put it, "Journalists need to admit when we've struck out" in order to avoid providing readers "a distorted picture of reality simply because everyone is trying to be interesting."
Here's a sentence-by-sentence breakdown of how that played out in a September 6 Journal report headlined "Calendar Shows Hillary Clinton Meetings With Foundation Donors."
Hillary Clinton as secretary of state attended high-profile events and functions where donors to her family's charitable foundation were in attendance, calendar records show.
The story opens with an over-promise suggesting that it will contain a number of conflicts of interest regarding Clinton and her foundation. As we will see, that does not occur.
Records for a six-month stretch in 2011 show her attending a foundation plenary session in New York in September, when she was interviewed by her daughter, Chelsea.
This isn't news -- the 2011 interview at the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting was covered at the time by ABC, NBC, CNN, and The Associated Press. None of those outlets suggested there was anything untoward about the appearance. You can watch video of the event here.
Three weeks later, she attended what was billed as a Clinton Foundation dinner in Los Angeles.
The dinner occurred at a concert that "doubled as Bill Clinton's 65th birthday party," according to a contemporaneous 2011 Los Angeles Times report.
The following day, she was scheduled to attend a brunch at the home of media billionaire Haim Saban, whose family foundation has given more than $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
The calendar says she and her husband were to "mix and mingle with guests."
The Journal's analysis reduces Saban to nothing more than a Clinton Foundation donor; mentioning Clinton's attendance at a brunch at Saban's home makes sense in this article only under that frame. In reality, Saban has known and supported the Clintons since Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Drawing a line from the Clinton Foundation donation to the brunch appearance is nonsensical.
The records were provided by Citizens United, a conservative group that obtained them through a public-records lawsuit against the State Department. David Bossie, president of Citizens United, said last week he would take a leave of absence to join the Trump campaign.
This is an acknowledgment that the contents of this article are based on documents provided by a right-wing organization that has been attacking the Clintons for decades. Journalists are less likely to continue to receive access to such documents if they report that the documents show nothing shady occurred (one might call that a bit of a journalistic quid pro quo).
Mrs. Clinton has faced questions about the family foundation and whether donors received access to her top deputies at the State Department. In an interview to air Tuesday on ABC, Mrs. Clinton said, "What I made a decision based on was what was good for the United States, what was good for our values, our interests, and our security."
Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian and history professor at Rice University, said that "a lot of politics is perception" and that the Clinton Foundation's "endless tangle of relationships" have amounted to a drag on her candidacy.
These paragraphs put the article's supposed revelations in the context of "questions" Clinton has faced about purported play-to-play surrounding the foundation, notwithstanding the article's failure to identify such a case.
The calendar shows that on Sept. 16, 2011, Mrs. Clinton convened a summit in San Francisco, where she gave a speech on empowering women. Before the speech, according to her calendar, Mrs. Clinton met with nine executives from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., for which she once served on the board.
A Wal-Mart spokesman declined to comment about the meeting, which included Doug McMillon, now the company's CEO. The Clinton campaign said the meeting related to a company initiative aimed at boosting women-owned businesses.
In the spring of the next year, Wal-Mart pledged to help women in Latin America with a $1.5 million donation in grants to 55,000 women entrepreneurs through a public-private partnership Mrs. Clinton created at the State Department. Wal-Mart also gave $500,000 for Vital Voices, a charity she co-founded.
Later in 2012, Mrs. Clinton visited India and made an argument to loosen the nation's restrictions on big-box retailers.
A Clinton representative has said she was advocating on behalf of American companies in general.
As secretary of state, Clinton promoted women-owned businesses abroad, including through public-private partnerships, and advocated for U.S. companies in foreign countries. In other words, she did her job. But the article scandalizes these typical job responsibilities by placing them in the context of "questions" raised about the foundation. Vital Voices is a nonprofit that grew out of a U.S. government program Clinton and then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright founded in 1997 to "promote the advancement of women as a U.S. foreign policy goal."
"The idea that attending her husband's birthday party, being interviewed by her daughter on live TV or meeting with a company announcing a major global initiative to help empower women economically—all of which was covered in the press at the time—is somehow now retroactively scandalous is absurd," said Josh Schwerin, Clinton campaign spokesman.
The last paragraph of the article is a statement from a Clinton campaign spokesman explaining why the piece's premise makes no sense and why it shouldn't have been published.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow ridiculed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after a Wall Street Journal survey found not a single former member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) would support his presidency.
Maddow opened the August 25 edition of her program by blasting Trump over a Wall Street Journal survey that revealed that no former CEA members would state support for the GOP nominee. Maddow reported that while this "very diverse group" of 45 economists had served eight different presidents -- including five Republicans -- "the one thing they all have in common is that not a single one of them supports Donald Trump for president."
According to the Journal, no Democratic or Republican advisers expressed support for Trump. Two former Republican advisers (Matthew Slaughter and Richard Schmalensee) crossed party lines to offer support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. And two GOP advisers (former Reagan appointees William Poole and Jerry Jordan) even stated their support for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson over their own party's nominee. Maddow called the survey result "stunning," and compared the economists' "profound rejection" of Trump to being passed over at a dance. Maddow noted that it was like asking someone to dance, "and everybody in the world decides they will never dance again because of you" (emphasis added):
RACHEL MADDOW (HOST): It's one thing to have, you know, some dissident Republicans rejecting a party's presidential nominee. It happens here and there. It happens, to a greater or lesser extent, with almost every nominee from both major parties every election cycle. There's always a dissenter here or there, but when it's everyone alive who has ever worked for any American president as an economic adviser including the last five Republican presidents, and they all reject you. That's not like, you ask somebody to dance and they say, "no I don't want to dance with you." That's like, you ask someone to dance and everybody in the world decides they will never dance again because of you. I mean, this is just -- this is profound rejection. I find that just stunning.
During the segment, Maddow also highlighted a bitingly critical indictment of Trump that Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, a former CEA chairman under President Reagan, told to The Wall Street Journal:
"I have known personally every Republican president since Richard Nixon. They all showed a real understanding of economics and international affairs. The same was true of Mitt Romney. Donald Trump does not have that understanding and does not seem to be concerned about it. That alone disqualifies him in my judgement."
The revelations from the Journal's survey were also a topic of conversation on the August 26 edition of CNN's New Day, during which Trump booster Steve Forbes dismissed the revelation and pivoted to highlight the supposed strength of Trump's advisers: Stephen Moore and Larry Kudlow. Moore and Kudlow have been dogged for making inaccurate statements and failed predictions over the years. Moore was accused of having "a troubled relationship with facts" by Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who went on to say that Moore may be maintaining a career in conservative economics only because "incompetence is actually desirable at some level" in those circles. Meanwhile, Kudlow recently lectured single parents that they are partly to blame for poverty even though he admitted to having "virtually no knowledge in this field."
The Journal's failure to find a single Democratic or Republican supporter of Trump among 45 former presidential economic advisers follows an August 22 report from the paper that hundreds of business economists overwhelmingly prefer Clinton as the best candidate on the economy. Clinton received the support of 55 percent of 414 economists surveyed by the National Association of Business Economics (NABE). Trump drew votes from just 14 percent of NABE members, once again registering less support on the economy than Gary Johnson, who garned 15 percent.
The almost complete lack of support for Trump on the economy comes despite months of the GOP nominee being the dominant force in cable news discussions of the economy -- thanks in part to appearing on Fox News' Hannity 24 times during the first six months of 2016.
Fox News host Stuart Varney mischaracterized new details about the United States' $400 million payment to the Iranian government, claiming that the State Department admitted that the money was a "ransom payment" for American prisoners. In reality the payment, stemming from a "decades-old" agreement, was "conducted separately from the prisoner talks" and was withheld as "leverage until the US citizens had left Iran."
The Wall Street Journal reported on August 3 that the Obama administration "organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran."
Right-wing media distorted news of the cash transfer -- which related to a settlement reached in 1979 "over a failed arms deal" that was resolved in The Hague -- to falsely claim the transfer had been done in secret and that the payment was ransom.
The Journal then reported on August 18 that the cash exchange was "specifically timed to the release of several American prisoners held in Iran."
State Department spokesman John Kirby reportedly said that although "the US withheld delivery of the cash as leverage until the US citizens had left Iran," the negotiations over transferring the money were "conducted separately from the prisoner talks."
Fox host Stuart Varney seized upon Kirby's statement to falsely claim that the State Department "basically admitted that the Journal story is correct," and that "this is a ransom payment." Varney also said, "[it's] very difficult to say that's not ransom."
But the payment indeed was not ransom, as Kirby explained in an August 18 State Department press briefing. Kirby noted that the money was given to Iran after the prisoners had been released in an effort to "retain maximum leverage," not before, as a ransom payment typically happens.
Kirby also noted that the payment was timed with the prisoner release because "We were able to conclude multiple strands of diplomacy within a 24 hour period, including implementation of the nuclear deal, the prisoner talks, and the settlement" in question. Kirby made clear that "we deliberately leveraged that moment to finalize these outstanding issues nearly simultaneously" because of "concerns that Iran may renege on the prisoner release" and "mutual mistrust" between the two countries.
Donald Trump's new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has long been a fixture in right-wing media and has a history of inflammatory statements, including claiming that "revulsion towards men" is "part and parcel of the feminist movement," asserting that people "don't want their kids looking at a cartoon with a bunch of lesbians," and using false statistics on live television to claim sex-selection abortion is pervasive in the United States.
Media are rushing to promote a new email dump from the conservative group Judicial Watch that they suggest, in the words of The New York Times, shows that the Clinton Foundation "worked to reward its donors with access and influence at the State Department" under Hillary Clinton. But a closer look at the Judicial Watch emails suggests there is far less to the story than it appears and brings into question the conclusions the Times and other outlets have inferred from the newly released emails. Indeed, the very details that undermine those conclusions are frequently included in the reports themselves.
Judicial Watch's press release framed the emails as showing "Clinton Foundation Donor Demands on State Department," and focused on two email exchanges in particular:
The new documents reveal that in April 2009 controversial Clinton Foundation official Doug Band pushed for a job for an associate. In the email Band tells Hillary Clinton's former aides at the State Department Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin that it is "important to take care of [Redacted]. Band is reassured by Abedin that "Personnel has been sending him options." Band was co-founder of Teneo Strategy with Bill Clinton and a top official of the Clinton Foundation, including its Clinton Global Initiative.
Included in the new document production is a 2009 email in which Band, directs Abedin and Mills to put Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire and Clinton Foundation donor Gilbert Chagoury in touch with the State Department's "substance person" on Lebanon. Band notes that Chagoury is "key guy there [Lebanon] and to us," and insists that Abedin call Amb. Jeffrey Feltman to connect him to Chagoury.
Media outlets across the spectrum immediately ran with the story, speculating the emails may, as the Times put it, raise "questions about whether [the Clinton Foundation] worked to reward its donors with access and influence at the State Department." The Wall Street Journal ran the headline "Newly Released Emails Highlight Clinton Foundation's Ties to State Department." A CNN.com article stated, "Newly released Clinton emails shed light on relationship between State Dept. and Clinton Foundation."
On New Day, CNN's Brianna Keilar called the Times' allegations "unseemly at best," suggesting the emails may have been inappropriate. Co-host Chris Cuomo said the Times' report "show[s] pretty clear overlapping between what was going on at the Clinton Global Initiative and what was going on with Secretary Clinton."
Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe, called the emails "fairly significant" and said they show at least "one example of the Clinton Foundation getting probably millions of dollars … and then having the foundation pick up the phone and say 'help our donor over here.'"
Co-host of Fox News' Fox & Friends Steve Doocy said, "when you look at these particular email that you have released, it's pretty clear, if you want access to the State Department officials, big top government people, or even jobs, just give the Clinton family foundation a lot of money."
These accounts adopt Judicial Watch's frame that Band, acting as an agent of the Clinton Foundation on behalf of Clinton Foundation donors, was wielding influence in the State Department. But Band was also a personal aide to President Clinton during this time period, and, as the Times noted, the Clinton campaign says he was acting in that capacity in these emails, which they say do not "involve the secretary or relate to the foundation's work." A fact sheet distributed to surrogates by the Clinton campaign and obtained by Media Matters states that Band sent the emails "on behalf of President Clinton from his presidentclinton.org email, not on behalf of the Foundation."
Moreover, neither the emails nor the news reports provide any evidence that Clinton Foundation donors impacted decisions Clinton made at the State Department. According to the Times, Band attempted to "connect" Chagoury with someone at the State Department to discuss "his interests in Lebanon." But the actual email exchange provides no support for this claim -- Band gives no explanation for why Chagoury wants to speak to a "substance person re Lebanon." The Clinton surrogates fact sheet states that Chagoury, who is of Lebanese descent, "was simply seeking to share his insights on the upcoming Lebanese election with the right person at the Department of State for whom this information might be helpful. In seeking to provide information, he was not seeking action by the Department."
Nor does the Times explain what Chagoury's "interests in Lebanon" are -- while the language suggests he has business interests in the country, the paper provides no evidence that is the case. Chagoury has engaged in philanthropic ventures in Lebanon. In 2008, Chagoury made a $10 million donation "to fund the medical school" at the Lebanese American University and has been involved with a charity called In Defense Of Christians, which, according to its mission statement, seeks "to ensure the protection and preservation of Christianity and Christian culture in the Middle East."
Likewise, the Times report and other similar accounts also allege that "the foundation" attempted to influence Clinton aides to "help find a job for a foundation associate," based on a Band email highlighted by Judicial Watch. But the email exchange these reports are pointing to clearly shows the "foundation associate" the Times refers to was never employed by the Clinton Foundation, according to the Clinton campaign, and the email exchanges themselves indicate that the State Department aides were already intending to offer the candidate a position. In comments to ABC News, State Department spokesman Elizabeth Trudeau also noted that the State Department "hires political appointees through a 'variety of avenues' and suggested there was nothing unusual about this exchange," adding "State Department officials are regularly in touch with a range of outside individuals and organizations including non-profits, NGOs, think tanks, and others."
Judicial Watch is a right-wing organization with a history of duping the press on Clinton email stories. The media should not be so quick to adopt their framing as the truth.

Conservative media have mischaracterized Hillary Clinton's policy plan to expand funding and support for child care and early education programs, suggesting the presidential nominee is offering voters "goodies," fearmongering about government overreach in preschool programs, and ignoring the economic boost that quality early learning programs can offer. Here are the facts about the short- and long-term economic benefits of supporting greater access to quality early education programs, particularly for single mothers and low-income families.

Although it's a big drive from the city coast to the desert, it can be done with some interesting – and sometimes incredible – pit stops along the way. From the relaxed atmosphere of sleepy Darwin, to hot and dusty Alice Springs, and then on to spectacular Uluru, there are many adventures to be had in the Top End.
The first stop is the city of Darwin: nestled on the edge of the Timor Sea, on one of the most northerly tips of Australia, it's a melting pot of culture and the dry, but at times luscious, beauty of the Territory. Firstly, head to The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, one of the best arts and cultural attractions in the region. You can experience its ever-changing travelling exhibitions and its special exhibition in commemoration of Cyclone Tracy, as well as its fascinating Indigenous art collections. If the midday heat isn't too unbearable, you can't go past Mindil Beach. In the evening, when the markets are on, the place is buzzing with food stalls and entertainment, so be sure to grab an ice-cream and cool off. Unfortunately, swimming is slightly hazardous due to the stingers and crocodiles, but taking a stroll along Darwin's favourite beach can be just as pleasant – just make sure to watch out for anything that bites. It would be foolish to leave Darwin without going through the extraordinary Kakadu National Park. As the largest national park in Australia, covering a staggering 20,000 square kilometres, Kakadu is home to myriad plant and animal species, and stunning landscapes including wetlands, savannas, and stone country.
Alice Springs
Next up is Alice Springs. Credited as being the closest town to Uluru – and yet still a six-hour drive away – it is the perfect detour on your way to the big rock. If you've come all the way from Darwin, you'll be in dire need of a pick-me-up. Firstly, head to the Page 27 Café for breakfast: it is renowned for its home-style food, hearty servings and excellent coffee. It's a good idea to get to know the place. The Mbantua Gallery and Cultural Museum is a cultural paradise, featuring authentic, vibrant paintings and pottery by local Aboriginal artists, as well as other artefacts from the Red Centre. If you're taking a walk down Todd Mall, you might be lucky enough to come across the Todd Mall Market, which runs two to three times a month on Sundays. If it is the Territory's native wildlife that really steals your heart, visit the Alice's Kangaroo Sanctuary, which was featured as part of a BBC2/AGB Films television series, Kangaroo Dundee. The Sanctuary owners run guided tours, which along with generous donations, sustain their work. Alternatively, there are multitudes of wildlife-viewing tours – some featuring camels or emus – that run from Alice Springs all year round.
When you get to Uluru, you will feel truly immersed in the desert. To experience the intrigue of the rock, it's imperative that you spend time exploring its crevices, and getting to know its ancient cultural and natural history. Thought to be 700 million years old, Uluru (or Ayers Rock, as it is known by some) is part of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. It is a sacred site for Indigenous Australians, and would have originally been under the sea millions of years ago. It's a good idea to begin your journey at the Cultural Centre, to learn about the Anangu culture and the story behind the land that you are walking on. It's about a 10-kilometre walk around the base of the rock – plenty of time to take in the monolith and its myriad surface rock formations, which have developed throughout years of erosion; to appreciate the sacred aspects of the site; and to find a shady spot for rest, when you can. At the end of the day, it is highly recommended that visitors experience the sunset (alternatively, if you are an early riser, visit at sunrise). From a few selected spots, you will be treated to a dazzling mix of pinks, oranges and yellows. This is truly the perfect end to your desert experience.

Mushers and their sled-dog teams tackled almost 1,000 miles of wilderness in the 2014 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, one of the sporting world's most fabled annual events, and it was 27-year-old Dallas Seavey that took home his second career victory.
The test of endurance officially began on March 2 and culminated with a wild drag race to the finish line on March 11. Fan favorite Aliy Zirkle was forced to settle for a second-place finish.
Speaking of the course, warm weather caused a bit of controversy this year at the event. According to Beth Bragg of the Anchorage Daily News (account required), the abnormal weather returned for the race:
Ice, open water, soft snow and no snow await dog teams as they begin the race to Nome this weekend. High temperatures -- which in early February threatened to move the start of the race north to Fairbanks -- returned with a vengeance Thursday and could compromise several weeks' worth of volunteer labor on the trail.
Despite the weather, 69 sleds started the race in hopes of earning a heavier portion of the $650,000 prize pool. This year was especially exciting as almost a fourth of the participants were rookies.
Now two-time champion Seavey helped to explain what makes the race itself so special before the event began, via Steve Quinn of Reuters:
The unique thing about the Iditarod is there is no norm. It's not like NASCAR racing cars going around a track. You and your dogs are overcoming tremendous variables and adversity. That's what this race is about.
Seavey will be honored on March 16 at the awards banquet. Iditarod mushers and fans will need that down time to recover from such a wild finish.

Although O'Leary will not be in Madison for the game because of the death of his mother, he has already begun to mold the Golden Knights into his kind of team. After a dismal 3-9 record a year ago, UCF is eager to rebuild and rebound in the 2004 campaign.
"I think our quarterbacks are all talented athletes," O'Leary said. "Obviously, they don't have enough grass underneath their feet as far as enough sunrises to sunsets as far as just experience is concerned. But they all can throw the ball well, which I think is the No. 1 thing I look for in a quarterback. And they all have a good head on their shoulders so they can make the right decisions, which I think is critical for young quarterbacks that they make right decisions and they basically do the things necessary to get you in a good play and out of a bad play."
Moffett will operate behind an extremely young offensive line, where the oldest starters—Dan Veenstra, Cedric Gagne-Marcoux and Sean Gilhuly—are sophomores. The inexperienced group will also try to open some holes for senior tailback Alex Haynes, an Orlando native who rushed for 774 yards last season. Haynes, who needs just 630 yards to break the school rushing record, will have some company in the backfield this year.
"Alex will get his opportunities," O'Leary said. "But I'll play all three tailbacks. That's the way I want to do it because I think it's a long season and you need to keep fresh legs out there. Alex will get his opportunities as will (sophomore) Dontavius Wilcox and Curtis Francis, who I've been very impressed with as a true freshman, as far as ability to see daylight and get things going."
In the passing game, senior wide receiver senior Tavaris Capers caught 67 balls for 565 yards and seven touchdowns a year ago and should once again assume a large role in his senior season.
Defense was not the Golden Knights' forte in 2003, as they ranked 89th and 80th in scoring and total yardage defense, respectively. One bright spot is the secondary, where the Knights possess the strong safety tandem of Atari Bigby and Peter Sands, both seniors. Bigby has twice been named to the all-MAC first team, while Sands ranks ninth in Golden Knights' history in tackles.
Juniors Paul Carrington and Frisner Nelson return to anchor an inexperienced defensive line. Carrington checks in at a robust 6-foot-7 and Nelson notched the second most tackles-for-loss on last year's squad.
Another question mark on defense is the linebacking corps. Senior Stanford Rhule returns to man one outside spot and is looking to bounce back after an injury-marred 2003. Rhule totaled 127 tackles in 2002, good for third in the conference. Senior Josh Stephens will start in the middle after making the move from defensive end. Junior James Cook rounds out the starting trio.
One of UCF's best weapons is junior Matt Prater, who led the nation in punting a year ago. Prater is on the 2004 watch list for the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award and, interestingly enough, will start at kicker, but back up walk-on Aaron Horne at punter.
Though Saturday is just the beginning for the Central Florida Golden Knights, they will be looking to start the rebuilding process a little early.
