Truckee Community Christmas collecting food, toys and warm winter wear
December 4, 2013
TRUCKEE, Calif. — The all-volunteer Truckee Community Christmas nonprofit is at the helm coordinating holiday drives that provide a helping hand to Truckee area families in need.
The TCC board works with local agencies, schools and churches to identify needy families, who apply to the program. This year, more than 200 applications have been received and are currently under review.
A few days before Christmas, qualified applicants will receive a box of food staples, a grocery gift card, one wrapped age-appropriate toy for each child in the family, and coats for chilly days. All goods provided to Truckee Community Christmas recipients are donated by community members, and all donations placed in collection barrels marked with the red square Truckee Community Christmas logo on it are guaranteed to stay in town and go to a deserving and grateful individual or family.
FOOD DRIVE: For those heading to Truckee's Safeway or SaveMart stores, take time to pick up a few extra items to donate to Truckee Community Christmas. For others emptying out their pantry, note items should be non-perishable with non-expired freshness labels. Health codes prevent the acceptance of homemade, canned or baked goods. Cash and gift card donations are also appreciated and accepted. Food collection bins are out now at local grocery stores through Dec. 18.
Suggested food lists are available at the food barrel locations and can also be found online at http://www.TruckeeCommunityChristmas.com along with a list of additional locations accepting food donations.
COAT DRIVE: Warm, clean gently used coats (no holes or broken zippers please) can be dropped off at Church of the Mountains on Church Street in downtown Truckee or at Sierra Bible Church on Brockway Road through Dec. 18. There is also a donation barrel at the KidZone this year.
TOY DRIVE: Toy collection barrels can be found all over town. Donate new, unwrapped toys. Visit TruckeeCommunityChristmas.com to check out the many locations where toy donation collection barrels can be found.
VOLUNTEER: Volunteers are needed to staff the grocery store food collection barrels and also to sort and transport food donations. Toy wrapping times are set for Thursday, Dec. 19, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and Friday, Dec. 20, 9-11 a.m. in the gymnasium at the TTSUD district office building (the former Sierra Mountain Middle School) on Donner Pass Road. To volunteer, sign up via http://www.TruckeeCommunityChristmas.com.
The senior program provides gifts, a box of food staples and grocery gift cards to approximately 60 low income seniors and 75 homebound seniors. The program that takes care of senior recipients is overseen by Sierra Senior Services (call 530-550-7600), and the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation's Queen of Hearts gals make sure that homebound seniors' wish lists are fulfilled.
SHOP LOCALLY: Three downtown merchants have partnered to support Truckee Community Christmas this year. Take a gift for a senior to Gratitudes, a bag of food items to La Galleria, or a toy to The White Buffalo, and receive a 15 percent off coupon to shop at these stores.
MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS: Log onto http://www.TruckeeCommunityChristmas.com and make an electronic donation via PayPal, or mail contributions to Truckee Community Christmas, Inc. P.O. Box 2955, Truckee, CA 96160. All donations are tax-deductible.

"This storm should be taken seriously because it is moving so slowly, ... Whether it has 80 mph wind or 85 (mph) is not really important. What's important here is that you're going to get two days of it. That is what makes it so dangerous because it brings rain, it brings flooding."
"They say a 10 mph wind can have about a 2-inch effect on a 10-foot putt. That makes it really difficult, since you have to read the green and read the wind."
"We chose this location because there's 18 mph wind speed, it's 70 feet deep and 2.5 nautical miles from the shore. Offshore, the wind is flat, on land, it's not as flat."

This is a discussion on Are You Too Stupid To Conceal Carry? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I wrote an article on concealed carry for a major gun blog site and since it was posted there, I've received a lot of great ...
I wrote an article on concealed carry for a major gun blog site and since it was posted there, I've received a lot of great feedback. I've tried to incorporate as much of the constructive criticism as I can and here is version two.
Let me know what you think.
Concealed Carry Considerations
With the boom in firearm ownership in recent years, there are a lot of new gun owners, taking advantage of their rights as citizens of the United States of America to "keep and bear arms." But carrying a concealed firearm is an awesome responsibility. Let's take a few minutes to consider some things you need to think through very carefully before you decide to carry a concealed weapon. There are legal, ethical, moral and competency implications.
Here are just some of the things you need to be aware of:
Legal Implications
If you carry a gun, you need to be aware of, and prepared to accept the legal consequences, whatever they may be. Are you willing to go through the trouble and expense – both financially and emotionally – of being arrested, charged and tried if you have to use your firearm? If not, leave your firearm at home. Are you ready to deal with whatever might come your way when it comes to encounters with law enforcement officials who may or may not understand and respect your state and local carry laws? Keep in mind that when you carry a firearm you are doing so for defensive purposes. The very concept of defense is to do what is necessary to stop a threat to ones own life or the life of another.
Ethical Implications
When you take on the responsibility of being an armed citizen, you also assume a greater level of ethical responsibility for every aspect of your behavior while packing. You don't pick fights. You don't respond to aggressive comments or gestures by going for your gun. You never go looking for trouble. You don't – ever – drink while armed. And you never brandish it or joke around about carrying concealed. Concealed means concealed…in every possible sense. If you can't conceal it, do not carry it. You aren't trying to impress anyone by carrying. Your ethical posture has to be above reproach when carrying. And, don't get dragged into a conversation about "shooting to kill." You do not shoot to kill, you shoot to stop the thread and to defend yourself or others in a true emergency.
Moral Implications
Are you mentally prepared to defend yourself? If not, the gun should stay in your safe. If you think you are just going to pull the gun out and wave it around to scare somebody off, don't carry. If the gun comes out of its holster, you must already have decided to stop a threat. You are using your gun defensively, that is, you are shooting to stop the threat of immanent bodily harm to you, to your loved ones, or an innocent party who is being attacked in danger of being killed. Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to stop a threat and to defend yourself? Have you thought long and hard about what that means? Are you willing to see what a bullet will do to a human body? People don't always just fall over dead like in the movies. You have to prepare yourself for the emotional trauma of gravely wounding or killing another human being, but remember, your goal is never to kill anyone, it is to stop a threat. Drawing your weapon is the last resort in a truly life, or death, situation, where you must act to defend yourself, or others.
Competency Implications
If you are going to carry a concealed weapon, you need to be rigorous about safe, competent gun handling. Your gun is always loaded – or it better be. That means you must never ever, under any circumstance, draw it while carrying unless you're truly in a life or death situation.
You do not pull it out to show to your buddies. You never point the weapon at anyone, which is referred to as "covering" somebody. Your finger should not be on the trigger, but "indexed" or simply lying against the firearm, ready to move to the trigger, but not on the trigger or in the trigger guard. You simply do not "play around" with your concealed firearm. It goes in the holster and never comes out, unless absolutely necessary.
And you need to be fully trained in the use of your firearm. Find a competent instructor and take a class. Better yet, take several classes. Just as if you want to get to Carnegie hall, you need to practice, practice and practice some more. You owe it to yourself to get in as much range time with your carry gun as you possibly can. If you aren't willing to master all aspects of handling your concealed carry firearm, don't strap it on.
These are just some of the things you will need to consider before you take on the responsibility of concealed carry. Yes, it's your right, but you need to exercise that right legally, ethically, morally and competently or you'll hurt the cause of those that do.
And finally, here is a good "creed" for a person carrying concealed to live by:
If I draw my gun from it's holster, I have decided that lethal force is imminently necessary to prevent or end the use of force, which I reasonably believe will cause grave bodily harm or death against me. The ultimate fate of my adversary is not my goal, is not even my consideration. I must cause them to cease the actions that I believe are deadly to me. Nothing more. I do not shoot to kill. I shoot to make them stop.
Take care, and stay safe!

Its a pretty good generalization of conceal carry. To be honest its just scratching the surface.....
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
What gun blog site was it written for? I only found it posted on Warrior Talk. I didn't comment their because they all feel like I do about it and nothing else needed said.
It appears, based on the context of the article, the author is primarily posing questions about whether most people are aware and have thought about the seriousness of carrying. I believe he may be too dumb to know the difference in "stupid" and "ignorant". The article, in my opinion, should have been: Are You too Ignorant to Conceal Carry?

When I see interviews "on the street" I wonder if most of the nation is too stupid to vote. I'm sure during the founding father times the percent of stupidity was less than now, but not much. And yet they didn't qualify the 2nd amendment with a test for stupidity. Was that a mistake on their part or just something we have to live with in a free society?

February 3, 2010
The sound of my shoes slapping on the pavement was the only audible sound as I loped down Jefferson avenue that afternoon. I walk home everyday, but that day the silence seemed oddly eerie. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end, as if my body knew something wasn't right.
I slowed my walk in front of the old, decrepit house next to mine, digging through my bag for my house key. It was then that I heard it.
A loud crash boomed from the house next door, and I froze in front of it. I looked up at the house, seeing two figures fighting in an upstairs room. My first instinct was to run. Run into my house, call my father, and then wait for the cops to arrive next door.
I realized though that it was not my place to call the cops on my reclusive neighbors. So, I stood, frozen in place, staring up at the window.
I watched as one of the figures landed a punch right in the other person's stomach. They doubled over, clutching their abdomen as the other – who clearly had the upper hand since the other didn't seem to be fighting back– charged at them. I squeaked, concerned for the injured person, and the window must have been open because the two figures both froze and looked down at me.
I recognized one – the one who threw the punch – as Edward Masen Sr. He was always very polite, saying "hello" to me every morning. He was a well respected lawyer here in Forks. His eyes were wild and I felt a shiver travel down my spine. The other man I didn't know, but I assumed it was Edward Jr., Edward Sr.'s shut-in son.
I'd barely moved to Forks a few months prior, but I had heard from some students at Forks High that Edward never left the house. He used to, they said, until third grade when Mrs. Masen passed away and Edward Sr. decided to home school Edward. The girls had told me stories of how attractive he was as a child, saying he must be a knock-out now if he had been that appealing at nine years old.
And boy, were they right. He was tall with messy bronze hair and bright green eyes that I could see, even from where I was standing. His eyes met mine and the look in them was a warning.
Three loud bangs echoed as my father's hand connected with my locked bedroom door. "Open the fucking door, Edward! NOW! Before I rip the damned thing off the hinges!" His angry voice rumbled through the aforementioned door.
"Go the fuck away." I hissed.
"Don't you fucking talk to me like that! Open the damn door, Edward!"
I rolled my eyes, "Why should I? So you can use me as your punching bag? I think not."
He growled before roaring, "OPEN IT OR I'LL RIP IT OFF THE HINGES AND BEAT YOU WITH IT!"
And though I knew he wouldn't be able to beat me with the door, I opened it anyway. Stupid move, I know.
I was, of course, greeted with a smack to the face. This was normal in the Masen household. Ever since my mom passed, my dad has been volatile and abusive. He had been a good man at one point, when he still had my mom, but without her he was a wreck, and had been for the past eight years.
I let him continue. There was really no use in fighting him. He shouted and punched and broke the shit in my room. I opened my mouth to warn him about the girl next door...the girl who walks home at this time everyday. She would see him hitting me and that wouldn't be at all good for his reputation.
Before I could get any words out, he slammed his fist right into my stomach. The wind was knocked out of me and as I looked up, he was charging at me again.
He was literally about two inches away from me when we heard a gasp. We both turned to look out the window. Staring straight up at us was the girl I've watched walk to and from school everyday since she moved here. Her terrified eyes met mine, Run, leave now, before he has a reason to hurt you, too, pretty girl, I thought to her, wishing she was a mind reader. As if she knew exactly what I was thinking, she took off running toward her house.
"Now, look what you've done!" He shouted, "Now that stupid little girl is going to tell someone!"
I gaped, "How is it my fault that my father abuses me?" I hissed.
"You could've closed your curtains!"
"Oh, my bad. I didn't really have time to do so while you were BEATING THE EVER-LOVING SHIT OUT OF ME!" I snarled.
"Don't back talk me," he growled as he started at me again.
"Go the fuck away or I'll make damn sure that girl calls the cops on you." I warned, my voice low and full of venom.
He chuckled, "And how, exactly, are you planning to do so?"
"Why the hell would I tell you?"
He laughed, "Alright, Edward, I'll humor you today." and with that he turned and walked out of the room.
I shut the door and locked it before turning and flopping onto my bed.
How the fuck did I get in this situation?
My mom passed away when I was nine from Spanish Influenza. My mother, Elizabeth, was a photographer. She traveled all around the world, taking photos of anything and everything. In December eight years ago, she traveled to Madrid and she my father and I were contacted saying that, while there, she had contracted a rare, but very dangerous virus called the Spanish Influenza. My mother was in critical condition when my father and I finally arrived. They wouldn't allow us in to see her, "Meeses Masen ees cor-an-teen'd!" a nurse who spoke very little English told us. So, long story short, my mom died and we never even got a chance to say goodbye to her, other than from outside a locked door.
My father and I were devastated, naturally. But as I slowly started coping, he seemed to be getting worse. He was loud and would break things and I remember the exact day that I became scared of what my father had became.
I had just turned ten and it had been six months since my mom passed. I asked my father if I could have a birthday party. He gripped his hair and I feared he'd pull it out, he shouted, "Nothing will be celebrated in this house without your mother!"
I didn't understand and told him it didn't have to be at our house. He grabbed the lamp off of our end table and threw it against the wall. He was snarling obscenities and tossing things at walls. "Daddy, stop! Please!" my ten year old self cried.
He slowly turned to look at me and his eyes were murderous. I felt my stomach drop as he stalked toward me. "YOU!" he screamed, tears brimming in his eyes, "Elizabeth is gone and it's all your fault! You just had to have a picture of the 'pretty Spanish flowers.' That's where she contracted it! She's dead and you're the only one to blame!" and with that he pushed me down before storming away, dry sobs heaving from him.
Not only did that make me terrified of my father...it also made me feel responsible for my mother's death. I did ask her to take pictures of the flowers.
December 2002
"Is there anything special you want me to take a picture of for you, baby?" she asked me, smiling. I always had a request. Kangaroos and camels in Australia, Times Square in New York.
"The pretty Spanish flowers, mommy! I wanna see the flowers!" I smiled my semi-toothless grin.
"Flowers it is, Eddie." she beamed.
My father shook his head fondly, "Just the flowers, Ed? Not even bull-fighting or pretty senoritas?"
I shook my head, "Nope! Just flowers!"
I miss those days. The ones where my father wasn't a fucking psycho.
I wish I could have him back.
Review and I'll post the next chapter!

He officially served as president from 1930 to 1938 and again from 1942 to 1952, ruling for the rest of the time as an unelected military strongman under figurehead presidents. His 31 years in power, to Dominicans known as the Trujillo Era , is considered one of the bloodiest eras ever in the Americas, as well as a time of a classic personality cult, when monuments to Trujillo were in abundance.

|Peng Dehuai a prominent Chinese Communist military leader, and served as China's Defense Minister from 1954 to 1959.

He spoke for conservatives, and led the opposition to Democrat Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party. He was a spokesman for modernization, banking, and industry, but not for the common people who composed the base of his opponents in Jacksonian Democracy. "He was a thoroughgoing elitist, and he reveled in it," says biographer Robert Remini.

Robinson broke the baseball color line when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947. As the first major league team to play a black man since the 1880s, the Dodgers ended racial segregation that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues for six decades. The example of Robinson's character, his use of nonviolence, and his unquestionable talent challenged the traditional basis of segregation, which then marked many other aspects of American life, and contributed significantly to the Civil Rights Movement

Descriptions are given of one new and five rare fish species first found on raises of the Atlantic Ocean: Mitsukurina owstoni (Vavilov Ridge), Gymnothorax cf. moringa (Vavilov Ridge), G. walvisensis Prokofiev sp. n. (Walvis Ridge), Sladenia shaefersi (Angular Rise), Hymenocephalus billsam (Rio Grande Rise), and Ebinania costaecanariae (South Atlantic Ridge, first occurrence of the species on seamounts). The specimen G. cf. moringa from Vavilov Ridge differed from typical individuals of this species from the western Atlantic and demonstrated, in some characteristics, a similarity with the close species G. vicinus, but did not correspond to both these species in some characteristics. The new species G. walvisensis is close to the species of subgenus Neomuraena, known earlier only from the New World, but was characterized by its light and practically solid color, only five mandibular pores, peculiarities of vomer dentition, and vertebral formula.

text: A reporter was beaten to death at an illegal coal mine in China, reports the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). There is still a mystery about the brutal killing of Lan Chengzhang, who was working for the Shanxi bureau of the Beijing-based newspaper Zhongguo Maoyi Bao (China Trade News). But the paper has not reported Lan's death, which emerged in an anonymous posting to an online forum. It appears that he was attacked by miners and a colleague, who was also beaten, saw the incident. Officials have said it was inaccurate to say that Lan was beaten to death since he died the next day in hospital. (Via CPJ.org)

Based in Columbus, Ohio, Husky Marketing & Supply Company (HMSC) sells most of the commercial products from Huskys refinery in Lima, Ohio, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
Products refined in United States include:
Benzene is used in the production of other industrial chemicals used to make plastics and resins, and nylon and synthetic fibres. Benzene produced at the Lima Refinery is used to make some types of rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs and pesticides.
BB Mix is primarily a refinery feedstock for making gasoline in refineries with alkylation units. It is used as a blending component with gasoline blendstocks.
Husky's Lima Refinery produces jet fuel in two grades military and commercial.
Decanted oil (DCO) is a valuable solvent used in the Lima Refinerys hydrotreating unit for controlling carbon solids.
Husky's Lima Refinery produces approximately 25 percent of the gasoline consumed in Ohio. It also produces diesel fuel.
Petroleum coke is a solid, hard, black residue of almost-pure carbon that remains after heavy oil fractions are cracked to produce lighter hydrocarbons. Husky's Lima refinery produces anode-grade petroleum coke, which is calcined (a thermal process) to remove the volatile fraction to make carbon blocks, and then is used as an anode in the production of aluminium. The coke is transported by truck and railcar to markets.
Husky manages proprietary and third-party volumes of propane, butane, isobutane and other natural gas liquids.
NGL mix is acquired and sold for processing and subsequent sale as specification products (propane and butanes). Sales and purchases of all products are made a spot, monthly or term contract basis.
Propylene is a major commodity in the petrochemicals industry. It is used as a building block in producing polypropylene products ranging from rope to clothing. Propylene is also used in the production of industrial chemicals including acetone, and as a fuel gas in industry.
The majority of the sulphur Husky produces and sells is converted to sulphuric acid (H2SO4), the most common industrial chemical produced in the U.S. Sulphuric acid is mainly used in the production of phosphate fertilizer, in metal leaching applications and the production of various chemicals.
Toluene is a common solvent used to remove paint, silicon sealant, glues and adhesives, and lacquers. It is used in the manufacturing of polyurethane foam and explosives and as a petrochemical feedstock and an octane enhancer. It is used within the Lima refinery to make gasoline.
Transmix is a byproduct of refinery operations. It is created by the mixing of different products, usually gasoline and diesel fuel, during pipeline transportation. At transmix processing plants, it is separated into products such as unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel.
For more information on these products, please call 1-614-210-2300.

Are you suffering from chronic knee pain that you can't seem to get rid of? You tried everything, from aerobics to physiotherapy to a change in diet and even took medicines to cure knee pain, but no luck.
But then, have you considered taking up yoga to cure your knee pain? If you haven't, you might want to consider it.
Read this post to find out the effective poses in yoga for knee pain relief.
1. Tadasana (Mountain Pose):
You wouldn't think that standing tall and gazing forward could help you cure knee pain, but it does! Tadasana is the beginning of most routines.
How To:
- Joining your legs and keeping your heels slightly apart, stand tall.
- The sole should remain in contact with the ground.
- Keep your hands by the sides and fix your gaze ahead.
- Hold this pose for around 3-5 minutes.
- Repeat once more. You can increase the number of repetitions. (1)
Along with alleviating knee pain, there are other benefits of performing the mountain pose:
- It helps improve your posture
- Strengthens lower body
- Helps increase awareness
- Regulates breathing
- Firms your glutes and hamstrings
- Helps relieve sciatica
[ Read: How To Use Castor Oil To Treat Knee Pain ]
2. Triangle Pose Or Trikonasana:
Another great pose for improving knee mobility and strength is the triangle pose or Trikonasana. This pose helps induce rapid weight loss and activates your metabolism.
How To:
- Bend at the hip and straighten your right leg.
- Hold your left shin with your left hand.
- Raise your arms toward the ceiling and turn lift head towards the ceiling as well.
- Hold the position until you feel a stretch in your legs and back.
- Switch legs and repeat. (2)
- Triangle pose stimulates blood circulation.
- It helps firm your back, arms, legs, thighs and hips.
- It helps regulate blood pressure and reduces stress and anxiety.
- Triangle pose helps you cure indigestion.
- The triangle pose helps you improve balance and increases concentration.
3. Camel Pose (Ustrasana):
This is one of the best yoga poses for knee pain relief. Camel pose also has other health benefits and is mostly used to relieve congestion and improve digestion. However, the position of the legs and the movements make it effective for treating knee pain, and thus, camel pose has been regularly practiced by people with rheumatism.
How To:
- Begin by kneeling down on a mat or the floor.
- Your hands should be on the sides.
- Start bending back and continue until you feel your back stretch.
- Reach out and try to grab your heels with your arms.
- Hold this pose for 10-15 seconds before letting go.
- Remember to ease back into the starting position. Don't snap at it.
- Get back to the starting position and repeat. (3)
- It helps relieve knee pain
- Ustrasana helps you increase the chest capacity
- Stimulates your abs
- Activates metabolism
- Improves respiratory health
- Strengthens back, neck and shoulders
- Cures problems related to the neck, shoulders and back
- Stimulates thyroid gland function
- Increases blood circulation
- Improves posture
Yoga asanas have their own set of warnings, and the camel pose is no different. Don't perform this asana if you have problems like:
- Lower back pain
- Hypertensive or 'hypotensive' tendency or migraine
- If you suffer from insomnia
You can make this asana more convenient and easier by placing your hands on your hips instead of holding them on to your heels. Keep bending back until you feel a stretch in your back.
Have you ever tried yoga for knee pain relief? So,why wait, solve that irksome problem by performing these yoga poses. The only thing to remember is to learn from the experts and get those positions right. Tell us how this post has helped you. Leave your comment below.

Saying "well done" to a federal cabinet minister is not something we do every day. But here we go. Kudos to Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird for halting the sale of 22 iconic Canadian paintings, including works by Jean Paul Lemieux, Paul-Émile Borduas, William Kurelek and David Milne. The sell-off, which was dreamt up under Lawrence Cannon, Mr. Baird's predecessor at DFAIT, was a cash-generating measure. But like auctioning off the family silver, it promised to cost plenty in symbolic terms. Canadians care about their heritage; they don't want their elected officials cavalierly selling seminal works to the highest bidder.
Mr. Baird knows full well that there was a public outcry after he ordered the removal of two Alfred Pellan landscapes from the Ottawa headquarters of DFAIT last summer and had them replaced them with a photograph of the Queen. Perhaps that controversy motivated him to think twice about what might happen if he allowed the department to get rid of a significant part of our cultural legacy. Perhaps he is a genuine art lover, as a government source suggested earlier this week.
What matters is that he has saved the 22 paintings, valued at about $4-million. What does he plan to do with them? They have been taken down from the walls of Canadian embassies, consulates and official residences around the world, and are languishing – along with the Pellans – in storage facilities in Ottawa.
We have a suggestion. The paintings belong to the people of Canada, so let us see them. Why doesn't DFAIT invite an expert panel of dealers and curators to assess the collection judiciously? Offer the best ones on permanent loan to museums across the country, so they can hang, not just in the National Gallery in Ottawa, but in Edmonton and Calgary and Halifax and points in-between.
If some of these works are of minimal historical interest, sell them to collectors or institutions at market value and put the money into the department's acquisition budget for new works by contemporary, cutting-edge and affordable Canadian artists. After all, that's what happened decades ago when canny and artistically knowledgeable bureaucrats bought a painting from Mr. Lemieux for $600 and a work by Jean-Paul Riopelle for $900. Those shrewd purchases have returned their original investment many times over in building the reputations of our artists abroad. It is time to give that same boost to a new generation of artists.Report Typo/Error

text: Colin Dwyer Richard Oakes, Who Occupied Alcatraz For Native Rights, Gets A Birthday Honor By Colin Dwyer • May 22, 2017 In November 1969, Richard Oakes and dozens of his fellow Native American activists came ashore at Alcatraz. The little island in San Francisco Bay had lain dormant since 1963, when its infamous federal prison had been shut down, and the group Oakes led set out to claim the land as its own. Here's The Deal With That Glowing Orb — And Plenty Of Notes On What It Isn't By Colin Dwyer • May 22, 2017 It's pretty safe to say President Trump did a few attention-grabbing things this weekend on the first leg of his first foreign tour in office. He delivered an address to the leaders of Muslim-majority countries, for instance, and took part in a sword dance with Saudi leaders in Riyadh. At $110.5 Million, Basquiat Painting Becomes Priciest Work Ever Sold By A U.S. Artist By Colin Dwyer • May 19, 2017 Jean-Michel Basquiat joined "joined the pantheon of great, great artists" Thursday night, when the late painter's 1982 work Untitled sold for a record-breaking $110.5 million at auction — the highest sum ever paid at auction for a U.S.-produced artwork. That breathless assessment was offered after the sale by Oliver Barker, chairman of Sotheby's Europe. So you can imagine just how thrilled the buyer must have been. Sweden Drops Rape Investigation Of Julian Assange — But He's Not In The Clear By Colin Dwyer • May 19, 2017 Updated at 12:30 p.m. ET Swedish prosecutors have announced they are dropping the country's rape investigation of Julian Assange. The WikiLeaks founder, who has long denied the allegation, has been holed up at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012 to avoid Sweden's extradition request. 1 Person Killed, 22 Injured After Car Plows Into Crowd In Times Square By Colin Dwyer • May 18, 2017 Updated at 12:45 a.m. ET At least one person was killed Thursday when a vehicle hit a crowd of pedestrians in Times Square, according to fire officials in New York City. Twenty-two other people were injured in the incident. When Iran Heads To The Polls, A Stark — If Limited — Choice Awaits By Colin Dwyer • May 18, 2017 As Iranian voters prepare to head to the polls Friday, there's one thing the high-stakes presidential election certainly will not decide: the country's commander in chief. That post, at least, is already filled by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader for nearly three decades. As long as he maintains control over the highest seat in the land, Khamenei enjoys wide-ranging authority over the security forces and effective veto power over matters both diplomatic and domestic — including the council that vets and approves presidential candidates. Puerto Rico Embarks On Historically Huge Debt Protection Hearings By Colin Dwyer • May 17, 2017 Updated at 2:30 p.m. ET For years, Puerto Rico has grappled with an ever-mounting debt crisis, watching as its public-sector bills have grown to more than $70 billion. Including what the U.S. territory owes to pension funds, that debt exceeds $120 billion. Now, Puerto Rico's struggle with its creditors has stepped into U.S. federal court, where an unprecedented debt-restructuring case opened with a hearing Wednesday. Ivory Coast, Soldiers Reach Deal To End Days-Long Mutiny By Colin Dwyer • May 17, 2017 A revolt that lasted for days appears to have reached a peaceful conclusion in the Ivory Coast. The soldiers who had taken their weapons into the streets, leaving their barracks to clog city thoroughfares in protest of delayed bonus payments, have agreed to a deal with the government. "We accept the government's proposal," mutiny spokesman Sgt. Seydou Kone said Tuesday, according to Reuters. "We are returning to barracks now." Shaken By Protests, Venezuela Sees Casualties Mount As Showdown Deepens By Colin Dwyer • May 16, 2017 More than six weeks into ever-deepening demonstrations against President Nicolas Maduro's government, Venezuelans have found themselves staring down some stark numbers: An inflation rate projected by the International Monetary Fund to hit 720 percent this year. 1st Man Prosecuted For Federal Hate Crime Targeting Transgender Victim Gets 49 Years By Colin Dwyer • May 16, 2017 A federal court in Mississippi handed down a 49-year prison sentence on Monday to Joshua Brandon Vallum, the first person prosecuted under the Hate Crimes Prevention Act for targeting a victim because of gender identity. Vallum had pleaded guilty last year to the 2015 assault and murder of Mercedes Williamson, a 17-year-old transgender girl whom he says he once dated. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 … next › last »

The Red Devils slumped to a disappointing loss at the Stadium of Light to leave United facing a major uphill battle to secure a top four finish this season.
Wahbi Khazri gave the home side the lead but Anthony Martial equalised shortly before half-time.
However, the Black Cats took all three points when the ball bounced over the line off David De Gea's back eight minutes from time.
The disappointing defeat left United fifth in the Premier League table and six points behind Manchester City, but the gap to the top four could be as much as nine points after this weekend's round of fixtures.
Liverpool could move to within three points of United with victory over Aston Villa on Sunday – and Henry's wife Linda was quick to offer her congratulations to the Black Cats on Twitter.
Well done, Sunderland
