NY Times Features Coastal First Nations and Guardian Watchmen
November 16, 2016 (All day)
In this feature story, the NY Times highlights Indigenous communities from across North America as they fight to protect their traditional territories.
With quotes from Chantal Pronteau and Curtis Rollie, both Coastal Guardian Watchmen from the Kitasoo/Xai'Xais Nation, as well as key leaders in the Heiltsuk First Nation, including William Housty and Kelly Brown, the article rightly links Indigenous authority with environmental stewardship and sustainability, and points out the unique importance of Coastal First Nations that have not signed treaties or ceded control of their lands.
"What it comes down to is our cultural history, and the land that we've been handed down by our ancestors to take care of," says William Housty, chairman of the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department. "At the end of the day, we need to manage ourselves."

What is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)? What is the history of ECT? Why is electroconvulsive therapy controversial?
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a non-medication medical treatment that is used to address severe psychiatric symptoms, after trials of medications and psychotherapy have been unsuccessful or a mental health disorder is determined to be acute enough to warrant this intervention. During the ECT procedure, an electric current is passed through the patient's brain to produce controlled convulsions (seizures) while the person is sedated using general anesthesia. This device is often used in a hospital but can be done on an outpatient basis (the individual receiving the treatment does not stay overnight in the hospital).
Formerly called electroshock therapy, ECT is a form of mental health therapy that was based on a procedure in which seizures were chemically induced in patients using a heart medication. It was first done in 1934 in Hungary to treat schizophrenia. In 1938, it is thought that electrical currents delivered directly to the brain were first used to induce seizures to treat schizophrenia. That was reportedly performed by Italian psychiatrist Ugo Cerletti. By 1940, ECT was being used in psychiatry in the United States. The U.S. military often used ECT during World War II, after which it became widely used in American and European psychiatric hospitals. It was in the late 1940s that doctors started placing electrodes on one side of the brain (unilaterally) rather than both sides (bilaterally), which resulted in less side effects like memory loss or speech problems.
Despite those advances, ECT fell out of favor for at least a generation in psychiatry, starting in the 1960s. Rather than the popularity of psychoanalysis or the rise of medication treatments from pharmaceutical companies, it is thought that a cultural bias against psychiatry in general and against ECT specifically is the reason that this highly effective medical treatment became controversial. Novels like Asylum in 1961 and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1962, as well as the film based on the latter novel, released in 1975, are thought to have fueled some of that backlash. The antipsychiatry stance of groups like the Church of Scientology is also thought to have contributed to the stigma that mental health treatments, particularly ECT, incurred during that period of time.
Appreciation of the effectiveness of ECT started regaining ground in psychiatry during the mid-1980s with the publication of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference on Electroconvulsive Therapy, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which documented how well this medical treatment improves symptoms of depression. By the mid-1990s, several guidelines for conducting ECT were published, providing predictability, standardizing, and thus credibility of this medical treatment in providing care for severe mental health disorders.

I ran out of vanilla extract a couple of months ago and haven't been able to bring myself to buy more since discovering this great recipe for Homemade Vanilla Extract from the Two Tarts blog. With the knowledge of a simple and easy vanilla extract recipe that I could prepare at home came the feeling of excitement about the possibility of making it myself. Not only do I love making as many things from scratch as humanly possible, but why buy the stuff at $3.40 per oz when I can make it for almost a third of the price ($1.24 per oz)?!
The whole process is very simple. The prep takes only five minutes after which it needs to steep for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. I intend to use this waiting time to brainstorm all of the delicious uses for vanilla extract that I can think of! So far, I've come up with quite a list! Here's how I'll be using my homemade vanilla extract:
and of course…
If you are not big on the flavor of vanilla but like its scent, you can try dabbing some behind your ears for Vanilla Perfume. There are other home & body uses for homemade vanilla extract such as using it to soothe burns, freshen up your home, as aromatherapy, and for weight loss. Check out these creative in-the-home uses for homemade vanilla extract!
Most folks like the neutral flavor of vodka when making homemade vanilla extract, but you can also use other alcohols like rum or bourbon. Feel free to experiment! If you are not good at playing the waiting game, you can start using your homemade vanilla extract after 6 weeks even the below recipe calls for 8 weeks.
After that I recommend leaving the beans submerged in the vodka to continue imparting flavor. Keep in mind, however, that if your vanilla beans become exposed to the air, things could get funky. When this happens, either add a bit more vodka to your bottle to keep 'em covered, or strain your homemade vanilla extract for long-term storage and start over with fresh beans!
- 3 Vanilla Beans
- 1 Cup Vodka (I used organic)
- Slice the vanilla beans lengthwise to allow the vodka easier access to the beans.
- Place the beans in a glass jar, cutting them in half if necessary so that the vodka will cover them completely.
- Pour the vodka over the beans and place a lid on your jar.
- Give the jar a shake every day, or whenever you think of it, for at least 6 weeks and then once a week after that.
Need a good source for vanilla beans? Check your local spice shop first. If you don't have a local spice shop, I have heard good things about Beanilla.com. There is also always Amazon.com. Happy hunting!
Get Started!

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to share this with my readers on Facebook. This is a really great idea for unique gift giving as well! Where did you find the cute bottle for your extract?
This is one of those things I've been meaning to get around to, but haven't yet. It's so easy, and I have no excuses. Thanks for making it so simple!
When your beans are done, take them out and leave them on the counter to dry for a few hours, then drop them in your sugar container.
I didn't know vanilla extract was made w/ vodka. What happens to the alcohol in it after all those weeks?
Organic Vodka? I didn't know it existed. Please, tell me what the brand name is.
How safe is that for a pregnant woman to use? I've never really thought about what was IN vanilla extract and use so little anyway…so I imagine it's just as good as buying a nice bottle of the stuff…
I'm no expert, but vanilla seems to be totally safe for pregnant women in food amounts. It's still vodka though, so just don't take shots! ; ) A little bit in cooking should be just fine.
This is awesome. I wondering how it could be made even alcohol free?!
The alcohol is what extracts the vanilla flavor from the beans, so it's kind of essential. However, if you want to avoid even trace amounts of alcohol, make vanilla sugar instead. You can use substitute it in most baking recipes – just be sure to reduce the amount of regular sugar!
I'm a Kentucky Bourbon girl myself and I make mine with Jim Beam and love, love, love it! ; )
Do you ever remove the vanilla bean from the bottle, or just leave it in the bottle during use?

Don't get agitated about that mysterious white residue on your washed clothes. It is probably the result of washing clothes in hard water with low-quality detergent containing only sodium carbonate. To keep things clean, use a detergent that contains both aluminosilicates and sodium carbonate, which work together to soften your wash water. Also, use the hottest water possible, and consider installing a water softener.

Ever wonder what I do while sitting around for an hour before bed? Pin until my heart is content. I love visual inspiration for every aspect of my life, especially style and home decor. I remember someone recommending I get a Pinterest and my first thought was "why would I want another social media account on top of the rest I have?" Now it's an addiction I cannot control.
I've been really drawn to a few trends and styles like white clothing, basic pieces, and anything with hats. I just spotted this hat and I plan on getting it ASAP. I definitely see a closet makeover soon, or at least implementing some new pieces to spice up my wardrobe. If you pin as much as I do you can follow me HERE.

Anyone who has ever dipped their toe in the diamond-encrusted lagoon of the art world will know that making it rain dollars is often a far greater priority than bathing us with an insight into the deep mystery that is the human condition.
It is this battle between commercialism and creative expression that Saving Banksy centers around, shining its critical light onto the moral ambiguity of saving an artwork that never asked to be rescued.
Featuring a battalion of respected street artists lamenting the transitory nature of street art and raising questions about the public sphere as a gallery space as opposed to the lauded white cube, Saving Banksy critiques the morality of commercializing artwork, which often does not financially benefit its creator.
Ponder the extended trailer below for a glimpse into the complex, multifaceted moral dilemmas the simple act of painting a wall can bring — especially when art collectors crave a product that was never intended for them in the first place.
If you've never questioned who public art belongs to, you will now.
The documentary will be screened at select theaters from January 13, 2017. Check out the dates and locations below:
- January 13 — Phoenix, AZ at FilmBar
- January 13 — Peoria, IL at Landmark Cinemas
- January 13 — Kansas City, MO at Tivoli Cinemas
- January 13 — New York City, NY TBA
- January 15 — Portland, OR at Hollywood Theatre
- January 20 — Hollywood, CA at Arena Cinelounge
- January 20 — San Francisco, CA at Roxie Theatre
- January 20 — Portland, OR at Cinema 21
- January 27 — Phoenix, AZ at Harkins Valley Art
- January 27 — Boston, MA at Coolidge Corner Theatre
- January 27 — Ithaca, NY at Cinemapolis
- January 27— Albuquerque, NM at Guild Cinema
- January 27 — Columbus, OH at Gateway Film Center
- February 3 — Chicago, IL at Gene Siskel Film Center
- February 3 — Buffalo, NY at The Screening Room Cinema Cafe
- February 3 — Yonkers, NY at Alamo Drafthouse
- February 3 — Seattle, WA @ TBA
- February 3 — San Diego, CA @ TBA
- February 3 — North Dakota @ TBA

Do you think public art relies on the context of the space it was intended to exist in, or is claiming it for the gallery fair game?

For the perfect illustration of a bad analogy, see Peter Galuszka's piece above. (In the spirit of full disclosure, I did attend yesterday's i.e. event.) The premise of Mr. Galuszka's criticism of the GRCC's i.e. event is based on comparison between the GRCC and the State based Virginia BioTechnology Research Park – there is little similarity beyond the fact that the two entities are featured in today's RTD. Mr Galuska's comparison begins:
"There's one article shamelessly promoting the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce's new "initiative" with the cute name of "i.e.*" which purports to tell the world just how creative people in the city are.
Right next to it is a story telling us that Richmond's showcase example of "innovation," the Virginia BioTechnology Research Park "is doing well" but otherwise is in such dire financial straits that it is raising its parking fees and "voluntary" assessments of tenants."
Mr. Galuszka goes on to state that the "state has never paid a dime for the park which has produced only three actual incubated and gone-public companies. Two moved away and the other is bankrupt. Therein lies the rub. Money."
I agree with Mr. Galuska's implied lamentation around a lack of funding for the BioTech Center. However, nowhere do I see the GRCC initiative focusing on – or needing funding. Nowhere on the i.e. website do I see a request for funds. To Mr. Galuszka's own description, "The three-year program is supposed to highlight "world class" creative talent here in Richmond." It doesn't mention the need for money (unlike the BioTech center). Your opening criticism, Mr. Galuska, is flawed.
Another point worth mentioning is Mr. Galuska's ability to take items out of context. Specifically, the statement "But if you look at the Chamber's Website, you find examples such as a young girl who regards "teal" as her favorite color and another individual who started a shoe store in Carytown. Sounds very creative." I believe the "favorite color" is in reference to a single question from the more comprehensive Proust Questionnaire. Mr. Galuska might enjoy the answer to other questions, such as "What quality do you most admire in a man?"
Mr. Galuska's other dismissal, the "shoe store in Carytown," is an example of a rather hasty generalization. I believe the retail sector was one of the hardest hit during the recession – so while this might be a leap in reason – to open a retail clothing store during a recession would require a great deal of creativity. Again, the supporting elements of your argument are flawed Mr. Galuska.
Finally, I'm puzzled as to how Mr. Galuszka's ad hominem attack on the Martin Agency supports his argument that venture capital and funding are the "rub" for Richmond. ("The Martin Agency, the leading advertising shop that is an authentic Richmond claim-to-fame, is a big player in "i.e.*." Too bad advertising is just what it is — presenting an image someone wants you to believe.) What is the relevance, Mr. Galuska, to the Martin Agencies industry, to the Region's need for funding?
I appreciate that Mr. Galuszka's is an "opinion" piece – but that is no excuse for egregious fallacies of argument.

I googled the issue and this is what someone said they did:
"1) The first time around I narrowed it down to some issue with the BIOS/motherboard. The trick was to configure BIOS to use only failsafe defaults and that worked like a charm. I disabled all the options and only configured the options which were absolutely necessary and later switched them back on one by one."
However, I don't really understand this or know what this means. How do I configure BIOS to use failsafe defaults? What does this mean? Anyone know?

I also found this too as an option but I dont' have a clue what Xencenter is or how to open or close it. Anyone know what they are talking about?
"My method for working around this issue is to close Xencenter once the install process is kicked off, and not open Xencenter until after the install is completed. I believe it has something to do with the hardware detection of the display, and when the Xencenter console is connected to the VM, that seems to be when it fails. Messy, but at least it works consistently."

"This should cause the Windows 7 DVD to autostart if it is burned correctly. Test it first on another machine to make sure it is bootable."
Could I use my Acer CDs instead so I won't have issues with the product key later?

Yes, I would try them first until you hear from Acer why you have no Product Key on COA sticker.
Try also booting the Recovery partition from it's hotkey. Are you tapping these keys vigorously every second starting when you power up?

Looking at what I could see on the forum that tried to help you ... you apparently have what is called the ZeroAccess Rootkit . It is an extremely nasty piece of malware
A full re-installation of your Operating System is the only way to ensure that your computer will ever be 100% clean again.

Why would you want to buy a new harddrive. Is yours defunct?

Gunmen raid Belfast house, woman hospitalised
A woman has been treated in hospital for facial injuries after two gunmen raided her home.
They forced their way in and took a sum of money from the house on Cavehill Road at about 11pm - and made off on foot towards Indiana Avenue.
Both the male and female occupants were assaulted - and the woman had to be treated in hospital for facial injuries.
Detective Sergeant Michael Hawthorne has appealed to anyone for any information about the aggravated burglary to contact detectives in Musgrave on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

I also thought I'd include our little round up of who is having what, when...feel free to update, there's only a few of us so we shouldn't end up drowning in Stats!

JoJo: boy

Lib: surprise - 1st baby - EDD June 7th
Lor: surprise (for now!)
Ohtheplaces: girl - 1st baby - EDD June 5th
Peardrop: boy
Kitty My hips have been feeling it for a few weeks now. Yoga's definitely helping, as is making sure I don't sit on my ass all day (went out for a stroll after dinner yesterday). Usually alright once I've walked it out a bit on the way to work.
I'm not very comfortable at night either Baby pear does not like me being on my left or right side as it feels like gravity is squashing him down between my hip and the mattress and then he does this weird twist motion that is not pleasant Anyone else getting early wake up calls with kicks? It was 5am for me but now it's moved to 4am
Yup Peardrop I'm getting the 3am kicks. I wake up very hot with bump dancing away. Baby appears to have discovered my cervix this week as a fun place to do kicking, honestly it takes my breath away!
Apart from that, I sleep pretty well. I do yoga 3 times a week (one class and two DVDs) and I think that helps with hips and comfortableness. I've also started listening to a pregnancy relaxation CD at bedtime which is blissful.
Going to video my belly tonight too - hadn't occured to me and I think it will be fun. I'm going to miss my bump so much which it's gone.
pear do you put a pillow under your bump at night? I'm really uncomfortable unless I have a pillow between my legs & one for the bump to rest on! I've got a nasty twinge right at the base of my spine at the moment so I had to sleep on my back last night with my bump pillow underneath me.
DS did disturb a little when we went to bed but he settled again really quickly. We sat down yesterday & carefully planned out a strict schedule for each of us throughout the day to make sure DS has a good routine & to help DH learn to stop dithering! It feels a little overly strict at the moment but I guess when we get into good habits
like DH coming home on time we can relax it a little! Tbh I feel a bit pathetic needing a written out timetable but if it helps DS get to bed/sleep at a regular time then it'll all be worth it!
Sorry to hear everyone else is achy too - long hot baths all round!
JoJo I've tried a pillow but it feels like extra pressure. The dream genie works better but I can't use it all night as I get fed up with it so its on the floor by 3am. I don't think it helps that I'm carrying so neat and low. I think that's my problem. Well done for getting a timetable sorted. I'm sure
not that I know it will help you long term! Timetables always get me on track for other things.
Yep, it's starting here too. The whole heave and shift and move over maneuver at night. I'm trying to just remind myself that it's only going to get worse, so appreciate the sleep I'm getting right now compared to what I'll be getting in about a month.... it's hard sometimes. Very much looking forward to yoga tomorrow and a blissful visit to the chiropractor next week!
bring - you know when you said the midwife measured you two weeks ahead uterus size?...does that mean your baby might come early or it's a big baby or neither? Just wondering because my midwife told me the same thing at 25weeks.
I moved house mid pregnancy last time. New midwives said I was measuring small, so sent for an extra scan, which showed I was the dates 1st given to me, and carrying extra fluid. Doesn't extra fluid carry the risk or delivering early? <completely unhelpful>
It's probably neither, pear. I think it was because of the baby's position during the visit-she was so totally crammed up under my ribs and was basically laying side-to-side instead of up and down. Sometimes women and babies will also have growth spurts so you'll measure ahead at one visit and then measure right on at the next. A variation of up to +/- 3cm is considered normal.
Extra fluid could increase the risk of going early, especially if there is a lot of it. There are usually other factors that cause the fluid build-up that would also lead to an early labor. That's really interesting they thought you were measuring small and you had extra fluid as well. Maybe you were just having a very well-hydrated day?
bring - what you say about growth spurts makes a lot of sense to me as I had a definite growth spurt that week and finally looked pregnant. Thank you!
Pear I measured 2wks behind last time the whole way through and dd was 3wks early aswell but still weighed 6.10 so don't think fundal measurement will have any relation, think I'm going to be the same measurement wise this time but mw didn't measure me at my 25wk app I like that makes me feel more pregnant lol
I tried the pillow last time but like pear it ends up annoying me and on the floor, my hips don't seem to like alot of exercise or lack, I'm getting sciatic pain at work from sitting at my desk alot but really strange pains in my groin when I went to Liverpool the other day and walked about 5 miles plus. Really felt that!!
My bump never plays ball when I want to film
Oh and was naughty again yesterday, at a spar hotel for dsis bday, had 5 mins in jacuzzi to warm up after pool ( got told off by my mum though lol)
That's interesting kitty. Was it a surprise to you to be so early or did you feel ready at the time? I'm someone who likes to plan ahead so I'm trying to keep very open minded and have told myself that baby will arrive sometime in May we just don't know when, could be the start, middle or end! My last breastfeeding class is on 8th May so hopefully I'll be feeling ready and relaxed...and maybe a little uncomfortable by then!
3 weeks is a bit scary kitty. I wasn't planning on finishing work until 3 weeks before my due date. I keep wavering between 3 and 4 weeks before. On the one hand I'm sure I'll be really uncomfortable and ready to stop work 4 weeks before, but on the other hand what'll I do with myself all day if I stop then and baby arrives around due date or even late! I also don't want to waste my maternity leave hanging around.
Lor - don't you have annual leave to use up? My workplace HR have told me I have to use my annual leave before I go on maternity which is why I'm leaving earlier then I planned.
I don't have much. My holiday calendar starts in April so it's only 3 1/2 days accrued by May I think, and some of that I was taking around the bank holiday weekend.
Oh Lor that's annoying but good that you will get to take annual leave at the end of your maternity. Probably the best way round! My holiday is Jan to Jan hence why I have to take it off at the start...my boss is seriously annoyed about that!
Does anyone know anything about grow bags? Does a newborn really need one or can I make do with thin blankets for layering?
Actually, after you said that pear I realised that I haven't taken my full allocation for this year so will also be carrying over a few days. May be able to finish 4 weeks before but start maternity leave 3 weeks before. Or just work short weeks for the last few weeks! Not as bad as I thought.
I have no experience of grow bags but my sister swears by them. She had one on her little one. Don't know why you couldn't just use blankets though.
It was a shock pear, no warning, I'd been glossing doors the day before and had been to the pub that night with a friend, never had bh or any sign and just woke up thinking have I just wet myself lol ( it was waters) then starting contractions within that hour!! I had leave to use that time so had finished at just over 35 think I had 9 days or a few less before dd arrived! I had loads to do aswell so was abit gutted really, planned to do deep clean of the house and all paint jobs I didn't get round to so if you are planning to finish early there's lots you can do that you wouldn't get chance to again ( it took me 2 days to clean kitchen/ utility - think all plates etc washing all cupboards sorting even the tops lol), I ended up loosing a weeks leave as you have to start sml when baby is born so a whole weeks leave gone- gutting
I did think I may be early rather then late though as mum and sis both had obstetric coliostatus and it tends to run in family's and you get induced if you have it or in my mums case we all came at 37wks naturally
I'm still in the sane dilemma now as to when to finish as is like a few weeks with dd but does that mean finishing a few wks before 37 or will I go later/ over thus time...... Hmmm
Oh I love gro bags, we used sheets and a blanket at first but they are a pain and just got kicked off, I used gro bags at about 4 wks plus and have never looked back, just bought dd her first douvet this weekend at 18months though my little girl is growing up
We used swaddle wraps until DS started wanting to suck his thumb at night. They just frustrated him after that. We've used a sleeping bag for him ever since then. I hadn't planned on using them at all but a friend gave us one & it's definitely better than sheets. From about 7 months he was wriggling too much to keep anything over him!
Gro bags really aren't very popular in the States so we just used swaddles until DS1 was about 6 months old and then just dressed him up in warm pj's for the night. He was (and still is) SUCH a warm and sweaty sleeper so he's always kicking his blankets off by morning.
Oh dear. I've just discovered a new stretch mark on my belly. I had none with the first boy, two small ones near my belly button at the very end of pregnancy with #2 and now I've already gotten a new one! <le giant sigh> Here we go....
Thanks bring. If it helps my DH pointed out new back fat before bed last night and then said I made as much noise as a Walrus in the night this morning! Rude man I think he thinks I'm lying when I say I pregnancy brings a blocked nose!!
Thanks kitty & Jojo. I may wait and see how it goes. I guess it really depends what the weather is like this summer!
I love grobags, dds always kicked blankets off
despite being firmly tucked in and the grobags were so useful. I had some that had small neck holes couldnt wriggle down into them so dd2 went in them from newborn. I've been given a swaddle wrap this time, so will be interesting to see the difference.

any activity—solitary, between two persons, or in a group—that induces sexual arousal. There are two major determinants of human sexual behaviour: the inherited sexual response patterns that have evolved as a means of ensuring reproduction and that are a part of each individual's genetic inheritance, and the degree of restraint or other types of influence exerted on the individual by society in the expression of his sexuality. The objective here is to describe and explain both sets of factors and their interaction. It should be noted that taboos in Western culture and the immaturity of the social sciences for a long time impeded research concerning human sexual behaviour, so that by the early 20th century scientific knowledge was largely restricted to individual case histories that had been studied by such European writers as Sigmund Freud, Havelock Ellis, and Richard, freiherr von Krafft-Ebing. By the 1920s, however, the foundations had been laid for the more extensive statistical...READ MORE

The most recent dump of Wikileaks emails show that Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta ordered a staffer to dump Clinton's emails. Podesta was specifically quoted as saying, "we are going to have to dump those emails, so better to do so sooner than later." The fact that the Clinton server was inappropriately used and emails were deleted is now common knowledge. However, Wikileaks and the reopening of the FBI investigation have shed new light on the depths of collusion involved in the Clinton case, which could possibly be damning for the presidential candidate.

Egyptian staff at the German embassy in Cairo are under suspicion of operating a visa racket, the German Foreign Ministry confirmed.
09 December 2007
Berlin (dpa) - Egyptian staff at the German embassy in Cairo are under suspicion of operating a visa racket, the German Foreign Ministry confirmed Saturday after a report in the news magazine Der Spiegel.
Der Spiegel said six Egyptians, plus one Russian employed at the German embassy in Moscow, were accused of visa fraud. The ministry said an internal audit turned up the irregularities.
The staff are alleged to have knowingly accepted bogus documentation from applicants seeking entry to Germany and misled German consular officials into granting visas.
The topic is highly sensitive in Germany after a previous foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, was assailed for not acting fast enough against fraud in Kiev, Ukraine and was grilled by a special parliamentary inquiry.
Der Spiegel said four ministry officials and German federal police were reviewing 50,000 visa applications for more signs of irregularities in Cairo and had found 132 cases among 10,000 checked so far.
In Moscow, one dishonest employee was alleged to have ensured 1,250 applicants improperly obtained visas.
German missions abroad issue about 2.5 million visitor, tourist and other visas annually. Tourists from most western nations are exempt from needing a visa to visit Germany.

The wife of the gunman who carried out a shooting at an Orlando, Florida nightclub back on June 12 2016 has now been arrested today in San Francisco.
ABC News reported Omar Mateen's wife, Noor Salman, faces charges of obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting, according to the FBI and her lawyer.
Salman is expected to make her first court appearance Tuesday, and is expected to be extradited to Tampa, Florida, where she was indicted.
Mateen was killed in a police shootout after he carried out the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub that killed 49 people.

Where are you guys seeing who voted for whom?
Never mind. I found it. After all this time here I never knew that you could see the results by clicking on the number until just now.
Some polls are made private by the author so you can't see who voted for what. It's a choice you have when you start-up a poll.
Yeah, I knew that already but I never knew about clicking on the numbers to see the results in public polls.

Old Way Still Wins The Votes
By Ron Grossman, Tribune Staff Writer
October 26, 1994
If all politics is local, as former U.S. House Speaker Tip O'Neill liked to say, then Jack Horwitz is a walking (and especially) talking encyclopedia of American democracy. "With me, politics is a disease," said the 84-year-old Horwitz, explaining why he is in his seventh decade of pushing doorbells at election time for the Cook County Democratic Party. During the presidential election of 1936, Horwitz was a precinct captain in the old 29th Ward on Chicago's West Side. He turned out 349...
Prosecutor alleges pair tainted vote in 50th Ward
By Matthew Walberg, Tribune reporter
November 10, 2009
A city worker and an unemployed student who allegedly manipulated absentee-ballot applications and cast votes for 50th Ward residents went on trial Monday. Prosecutors said Anish Eapen, a precinct captain for Ald. Bernard Stone, 50th, and the ward's Streets and Sanitation superintendent, flashed his work badge and made it clear to voters that they could benefit if they chose his candidate. "'Do me a favor and vote this way,'" Eapen told voters, said Cook County...
Lord Of His Ward
By Patrick T. Reardon, Tribune Staff Writer. This article is based on reporting by Tribune staff writers Robert Becker, Laurie Cohen, William Gaines, Ray Gibson, Hanke Gratteau, Andrew Martin and Patrick T. Reardon
August 26, 1996
Sometimes, Dick Mell can't help but laugh, like that time when he waved an assistant precinct captain up to the front of the VFW hall in his ward. The 100 other campaign workers, crowded together before the podium, craned their necks while the rugged city sewer laborer, both his wrists in casts, walked sheepishly from his place. "Here's a guy who gives his all for the organization," said Mell, fairly bubbling with glee. He slapped the injured man on the shoulder. "He broke his wrists trimming a tree--to...
Eugene S. 'Herman' Gembara, 1925-2009: Ran corner tavern for more than 50 years
By Trevor Jensen, TRIBUNE REPORTER
September 16, 2009
Eugene S. "Herman" Gembara grew up with six brothers and sisters in an apartment behind the Bridgeport tavern his father opened shortly before Prohibition. He went on to run the corner tavern for more than 50 years while taking part in two other mainstays of Bridgeport life: Democratic politics and the public payroll. Mr. Gembara, 83, died of congestive heart failure on Friday, Sept. 11, at Mercy Hospital, said his niece, Barbara Kopec. ...
Vote Fraud Alleged In 30th Ward
February 26, 1991
Seven Chicago residents filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court Monday seeking to stop the Chicago Board of Elections from counting absentee ballots in four precincts of the 30th Ward in Tuesday's election because of alleged vote fraud. The suit, which also names five of the ward's precinct captains, charged that the fraud occurred in the 6th, 36th, 38th and 45th precincts, each of which has between 106 and 115 absentee ballot applications, far in excess of the normal total. The suit,...
Prosecutors outline charges against precinct captain for Chicago Ald. Bernard Stone
By Mary Owen, Tribune reporter
January 30, 2008
As the 50th Ward's Streets and Sanitation Department superintendent, Anish Eapen wielded the power to fix alley lights, trim trees, repair sidewalks or procure extra garbage carts. In the weeks leading up to the aldermanic runoff election in 2007, Eapen used his influence to manipulate absentee voters and, in one instance, mark a citizen's ballot to gain votes for Ald. Bernard Stone, officials charged Monday. Many of the voters were of...

John Porter (R-Ill.), who is retiring after 20 years in Congress. "I think it shows the momentum continues...

A member of Ald. Bernard Stone's political organization who also serves as the 50th Ward's Streets and Sanitation Department superintendent was charged Monday following an investigation into alleged vote fraud in last year's aldermanic election. Anish Eapen, 37, of the 7500 block of North California Avenue, faces charges of official misconduct, absentee ballot fraud and mutilation of election materials, officials said. ...
A Fitting Farewell From Ed Kelly
July 22, 1986
Edmund Kelly couldn`t have picked a better spot than Welles Park to announce his resignation as Chicago Park District superintendent. He started his park career there 39 years ago as a recreation instructor. It's in the heart of his 47th Ward. And for years it was the most flagrant example of why Ed Kelly had no business running Chicago's park system. Until the U.S. Justice Department forced some changes in 1982, little Welles Park had as many fulltime recreation workers as sprawling Humboldt,...
John Stroger: 1929 - 2008

John Stroger, who rose through the ranks of local Democratic politics from assistant precinct captain to powerful ward boss to become the first African-American elected Cook County Board president, died Friday after a long illness. Mr. Stroger was best known for his efforts to expand county-provided health services to the poor, exemplified by the hospital that bears his name. But his tenure also was marked by criticism that he was an old-style politician who put a priority on using government to...
Daley's Machine Is Built For More Than Counting Census

With so many people refusing to answer the insulting, busybody questionnaire from the U.S. Census Bureau, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has come up with an idea. And I would like to congratulate him. It's a brilliant plan. He's going to use machine precinct captains to help people respond to the census. "For the next 36 days," Daley was quoted as saying, "we are pulling out all the stops."

Ode To The Season
December 18, 2007
I came to Chicago from Kansas in 1966 to do community service work in Gage Park, near where Martin Luther King and Al Raby were trying to organize for open housing and social justice. It was a turbulent time in the city, but during my summer on the South Side, I developed a passion for Chicago. I came back in 1968 and found work as a secretary at the University of Chicago. When Emma Pitcher, my boss, offered me a fellowship to study U.S. history, I took it, hoping to understand the roots of the violence...
Chicago Politics In The Grand Style Of `Paddy` Bauler
By June Sawyers
September 11, 1988
Of all the colorful characters who have peopled Chicago's political history, few were as flamboyant or as outspoken as Mathias "Paddy" Bauler, the saloonkeeper who controlled the 43d Ward from 1933 to 1967. More noted in his day for his wild parties than for any accomplishments as a public official, he made history as the man who, after winning a bitterly fought election in 1939 against an opponent who had run on a reform platform, uttered the immortal line, "Chicago ain`t...

"Karl Rove called back and said if you will not appoint anyone [from] out of state, we'll let you pick anybody you want, as long as that person is from...
Maine Gop Is A House Divided
By Andrew Fegelman
April 26, 1990
When the balloting was completed in last month, Maine Township won the distinction of being the most Republican region of Cook County. It might be a stretch of the imagination, however, to say that feat earned it the right to two different Republican organizations. An insurrection is underway in the northwest suburban organization accustomed to placid politics. Park Ridge Mayor Martin Butler was elected committeeman in the March 20 primary, the voters` choice to run the township's Republican...
Daley's window of opportunity closes
By JOHN KASS
November 3, 2006
If only Mayor Richard Daley had kept his promise to throw Donny Tomczak from his window years ago, I wouldn't have wasted a few hours in federal court this week. At City Hall, it's five floors down to LaSalle Street. And Tomczak, a meaty fellow, would have split like a sausage on the sidewalk, to the applause of Daley's precinct captains. But it didn't happen. The fates of empires are said to hinge on such decisions. Now we're a weekend away from the November elections. Voters are...
Daley Silent On Jones` Successor
By Thomas Hardy, Political writer
April 25, 1990
The 20th Ward Democratic organization's choice to fill the remainder of Ernest Jones` aldermanic term met with resistance Tuesday from Jones` widow, mild dissension from precinct captains and a no comment from Mayor Richard Daley. But the Monday organization vote and the backing of Cook County State's Atty. Cecil Partee, appeared to make 32-year-old Arenda Troutman a strong contender for appointment to the Chicago City Council. The mayor fills aldermanic vacancies with the consent of the...
In Illinois, Daley's Pride Is On The Line
By Gary Washburn and Rick Pearson, Tribune Staff Writers. Tribune staff writer Courtney Challos contributed to this report
November 6, 2000
Among the last-minute clutter of political ads airing over local radio is one that begins with this lead-in from an announcer: "Mayor Rich Daley on what's at stake in Tuesday's election." The Chicago mayor then comes on and ticks off a number of reasons why he thinks voters should choose Democrat Al Gore for president. It is far from a complete list, however. For Daley, whose brother William is running Gore's presidential campaign, what's really at stake in Tuesday's...

Damisch won 70 percent of the vote of Northfield Township GOP precinct captains on the second ballot Saturday.

STRIKE action by teachers is set to cause chaos for Wearside families with more than 75 per cent of the city's schools affected.
Less than a quarter of all Sunderland's schools will be fully open tomorrow due to joint action by the country's two biggest teaching unions, the National Union of Teachers, NUT, and the NASUWT, the National Association of Schoolmasters and Union of Women Teachers.
The rest of the schools will either be closed to all pupils for the whole day or only open to a proportion of youngsters.
Sunderland City Council has compiled a list of schools which will be closed, but a spokesman said individual schools have been informing parents and carers of their positions.
The walk-outs tomorrow by union members across the North East of England, London, the South East and South West, follow a one-day strike on October 1 in Eastern England, the East Midlands, West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber.
The unions, which jointly represent 90 per cent of teachers, say the action is part of their campaign to protect teachers and defend education and claim they follow the Secretary of State's continued refusal to genuinely engage with them to seek to resolve disputes over changes to pay, pensions, working conditions and jobs.
Teachers from across the region are expected to gather in Durham City tomorrow as part of a series of rallies to demonstrate their anger, frustration and concern and Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT, will address the rally in Durham.
Unions are also planning a one-day all-out national strike before the end of the autumn term.
Sarah Lake, secretary of the Sunderland NUT branch, said: "Teachers across Wearside are striking and schools closed in protest at what they feel to be an unprecedented and sustained attack on their pay and conditions as well as the education system.
"Members of the two largest unions, the NUT and NASUWT will regrettably be unable to do the job they like best, being in the classroom."
Sarah said teachers will be having to stay in the classroom until they are 68 and like other public sector workers teachers have seen their salaries frozen whilst also paying bigger pension contributions and facing large increases in food and fuel bills.
She said: "The coalition government has also introduced fundamental changes to exams and the national curriculum. When consultation has been invited, teachers, parents and academics have seen their opposition knocked back by education secretary, Michael Gove."
Mr Gove has condemned the strike action and Councillor Robert Oliver, Sunderland's Tory spokesman for education – and himself a teacher – said: "The NUT and NASUWT are damaging the teaching profession by calling an unnecessary strike which will disrupt children's learning and achieve nothing."
